SRM Classic Scenario - What decides if shopping cart creates a PO or PR

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the classic implementation of self-service, how is it decided if the document created in ECC (after shopping cart approval) is a Purchase Order or a Purchase Requisition?

Is this through a technical solution ie., the PR or PO decision is based on the call to the BAPI that creates a PR or a PO?

If not then where in config is this aspect decided?

hi

if you have assigned FIXED source of supply - PO will be created

if you dont assign any vendor / prefered vendor - PR will be created ( if no specific sourcing configured)

as masa said you can control the follow on documents in the define backend Objects.....

Hi,

There is customizing setting for it.

SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations).

BADI BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE is also available.

To create PO, supplier and price should be assigned to the SC.
