free text SC to buyer's UWL?

[former_member323485]

In standard, free text SC goes to buyer's "Purchasing tab" in portal. The buyer will "Assign  source of supply" there.

Has any one successfully put in into UWL? How to it?  Thx.

Hi Jingping,

You can instead use the completion workflow to get the work item into purchasers workl ist (UWL). For that you need to define a process level for completion using the workflow task 40007952.

You can make use of responsibility resolver BADI to identify the purchaser with some logic and can develop evaluation logic to trigger this process level.

Note: I am assuming that you are using BRF workflows. Though the logic remains same for even ACW.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the reply. I did send the workitem to the buyer's UWL this way and he can change the price and assign Source of Supply. The follow-on PO creation process worked fine.

There is one thing unexpected come up. The SC will not show up in the buyer's cockpit any more (is this because the SC was directed to UWL by workflow?). In our case we want the buyer to be able to create of Rfx like it can be done in the buyer's cockpit with the standard design.

Do you know how to achieve this?

Thx.

Hi Jingping,

You can only use one option. Either completion workflow or sourcing cockpit. The purpose is to assign either source of supply or to trigger RFx using cockpit to identify correct vendor.

If the process is to use sourcing cockpit, then the work items will appear in cockpit and buyer can create RFx or PO etc with the correct source of supply.
