You can do Direct procurement in SRM, at the time of creating a SC , you need to select the check box "Direct Procurement".
Account assignment is used only for the materials which are direclty going to be consumed and you dont track the stock of those materials. This is indirect procurement.
Direct procurement materials will always be in a Stock (inventorized) and thus you dont have Account assignment tab. Also the goods recepient will be replaced by the Plant address.
While we order material as direct procurement, we need to assign source of supply so how billing will take place for that vendor if there is no account assignment?
In direct procurement, materails will come into stock. The payment (invoice) to vendor will be done in a normal way. You can do the invoice either in SRM or MM depending on your set up.
After the materails are in stock they can be issued to Production or Consumption against account assignment.
As you said, "After the materails are in stock they can be issued to Production or Consumption against account assignment." Please let me know how this could be done. I think this will clear my point.
when you have materials in stock and you create a SC, a reservation will be created. Also you need to activate stock availability check. and than you can issue the materials in MM against any consumption movement type. You use transaction MB1A for issuing the material in MM.
In Extended Classic Scenario:
You cannot create Reservation. So goods issue will be done in MM only.
Yes in Classic scenario, Reservation will be created in MM.
It depends on the business scenario, The PR can be created via MRP or Manual in ECC. This PR in turn if matches the transfer criteria it will come to SRM and there you can create SC or PO.
