ROS - SRM Vs, Vendor management -E-Sourcing

[Former Member]

Hi all

How vendors are screened in e-Souricng in Vendor management arena. I learnt that e-sourcing too accept and manage vendors .

Supplier screening is very important in procurement busisness.

Is it like Registration of suppliers (ROS) in SRM?

Are after created a vendor in e-sourcing , will u push to ECC or SRM. How vendor data are sync with Backend systems like ECC /SRM.

really vendor data relate with accouting data will be stored in ECC. what about in e-sourcing.

since customer expect this functionality. ARe in e-sourcing can used for only Vendor management for large scale customers. for eg tomorrow DUN And BRADSHEET wanted to use Vendor management functionality via e-Sourcing. is it possible.

Any help is apprecited. I am Mostly interested How vendors are selected / what are the main factors are considered to accept a vendor .

Thanks

Hi Muthu

Check out this note

1313088 Integration of SAP E-Sourcing 5.0/5.1 and SAP ERP

on page 2 and 3

Replication of SAP E-Sourcing Supplier to SAP ERP Vendor

This scenario supports the replication of suppliers that have been created in SAP E-Sourcing

for a sourcing event. Suppliers can be replicated back to SAP ERP individually on an asneeded

basis with user intervention.

When transmitting supplier master data from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP ERP, only external

number assignment is supported. This means that SAP E-Sourcing determines the supplier

number that is assigned to the vendor when it is created in SAP ERP. This is possible via SAP

E-Sourcing configuration mechanisms.

Internal number assignment in SAP ERP is not supported in the current integration package.

This means that SAP E-Sourcing does not allow a supplier to be published to SAP ERP when

internal number assignment is used. An error message is displayed in this case.

Linking is possible only through a manual process (that is, you must create the vendor in SAP

ERP manually and then link it to the SAP E-Sourcing supplier manually).

Supplier changes cannot be replicated from SAP E-Sourcing back to SAP ERP. Only the initial

creation of the supplier is supported.

The following basic SAP ERP vendor fields are supported:

SAP E-Sourcing Supplier Fields SAP ERP Vendor Fields......
