Role of buyer when SC create PO or PR in backend

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When we define object in backend system, SC create PO if item data is complete otherwise PR. Here my question is that, what is the role of purchaser/buyer in this scenario?

Do buyer exist in such case, as we have maintained the setting if data is incomplete than it will create PO otherwise PR. Is this setting is limited to classic scenario?

Hi Sunil,

A Buyer will add supplier and Check price. All the data should be completed in SC in order for a PO to get create in ECC.

Hi Anil,

As per my earlier query, in Classic scenario if SC is incomplete than it will create PR. So you mean to say, if buyer could not able to complete the SC than it will create PR else it will create PO? correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks,

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Yes your understanding is correct as per the Classic scenario is concerned.

There is one more customization setting in classic scenario SPRO--> SRM-->Cross-Application Basic Settings-->Define Objects in Backend System. Here you can select which document should get create in backend always as per your requirement.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Yes, this setting is limited to classic scenario.

Since in extended classic scenario we do not have PR or reservations,such setting is not relevant.

So, what is the role of buyer if the above setting is made in classic scenario?

Hello,

Buyer can complete shopping cart in sourcing cockpit, adding a source of supply.

Then, in such chase, since it is expected that cart is completed, PO will be created in ECC as result.
