How to restrict user creating Confirmation in SRM for ECC PO?

[Former Member]

Hi SRM Gurus,

We are Classic scenario.

Users are able to post the confirmation for ECC back end PO(Created in ECC only).

I have checked the scn thread Can we post Confirmations in SRM for all Backen... | SCN and understood that he GR for ECC PO can be posted from SRM.

I want to know, how to restrict users creating GR for ECC PO from SRM?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Hello Siddappa,

if you are in Classic scenario, that is all PO are created in ECC and none in SRM, just delete from user menu the confirmation transaction and POWL feeder for confirmation.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes. We are in classic. We have different types of POs created from SHC and directly created in ECC through PR.

We want to allow users to create confirmations for SRM POs only i.e. the POs created from shopping cart.

And we want to restrict users to create confirmations for the POs created in ECC directly.

How can this be achieved?

Best Regards,

Siddappa

Hello Siddappa,

check this document:

Confirmations of Materials and Services - Creation

and this KBA:

1727767 - Purchasers cannot see POs or Employees view other's POs to be confirmed

According to those points, you can set your user type as 'DESKTOP' and not 'PROFI'.

To get more details regarding confirmation process for ECC PO and SRM PO, check GET_PO_LIST method from /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_CONF_STAT_HLPR class.

You can also use BBP_WF_LIST BAdI to check if backend PO is linked or not to a Shopping Cart. This is done in PERFORM sc_for_po_get (BBP_PO_LISTSEL_FOR_DESKTOP function modul).

Regards.
