SRM and SUS functionalities

[matteo_montalto]

Hi gurus,

a standard functionality on recent SAP SRM allows suppliers to provide Good Receipts to the customers, so that the later can revise/approve the document. This is likely to be a facility in order to save time and accelerate the process.

I was wondering if the same functionality can be obtained by means of SUS, considering both scenarios EBP-SUS and MM-SUS.

As far as I've seen from the integration flows reported here:

Interfaces used in the MM-SUS scenario - Supplier Relationship Management - SCN Wiki

it seems to be that GR is always performed backend-side (MM) and then notified to the SUS, on MM-SUS scenario.

In other terms; imagine we would like to give to suppliers the opportunity to create a draft of a goods receipt, that will be later on revised by internal users and validated. We have no other way to do this except that via SRM ?
(we are investigating whether we can move some functionalities on SUS, therefore avoiding direct access to SRM by suppliers/external actors).

Thanks a lot

Hi Matteo,

in SUS, to be precise in the MM-SUS scenario we support GR documents, but those are created always by the purchaser user in the MM system and not by the supplier user in SUS. The data flow is from MM to SUS in this case. This will not suite your requirement, if I understood that correctly.
