SRM 7.0 - not possible to create Supplier list without contract

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using SRM 7.0.

When I try to create a supplier list for a product category or a product without entering a Contract number i recieve the error messages:

Line 1: Enter a contract number

Line 1: Enter the number of a contract item

As far as I know it is possible to create a vendor list without a contract.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

Cheers

Found the answer.

If you enter a backend system, it request a contract no.

Without a Backend system, no contract no is necessary.

yes. since supplier list can always refer backend contract. it will not allow us to create local contract.

this is the one big gap in srm. Hope SAP will resolve soon.

Thanks for the updates.

it might help others

Hi ulrike

you are correct.

Note 532623 - Error messages do not correspond to the SAP guidelines

contract is not mandatory to create supplier list.
