SRM-SUS - Extended Classic - Purchase Order Response

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

We are using SRM-SUS in an Extended Classic scenario in SRM 5.0. When the Vendor creates a Purchase Order Response (POR) we want the Requisitioner of the Shopping Cart (not the Purchaser from the Purchase Order) to process the POR in EBP.

We will add the transaction Process Purchase Reponse to the Requisitioner role. We want to ensure that the Requisitioner can only see PORs related to Purchase Orders created from the Requisitioner's individual Shopping Carts.

Has anybody any suggestions and/or see obstacles in our way?

Cheers,

Pat

Normally the requestor will not have access to purchase order responses.

Purchase order responses are to be handled only by purchasers and that is purchasers function.

Just adding the transaction to the user might not help , you might have to give purchaser role to the requestors.

Thanks Khan, We are carrying further investigations.

Hi Pat,

This is certainly not standard. I see the following challenges:

a. From the system perspective, your Shoppers will need to be assigned to purchasing group(s) in Org Structure to see the related PORs. That's very unusual, and consequences can be unpredictable.

b. From the internal controls / business process / security perspective, you may be creating some SOD (segregation of duties) issues.

IMHO, your business requirement needs to be re-visited. My two cents...

Hi Serguei ,

Thanks for getting back to me. I think we will have to do some more investigating of our proposed solution.

Thanks and regards,
