Creating single PO for multiple Shopping Carts

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am new to SRM and I am working on Extended classic Scenario.

I have created two shopping carts and I want to assign them to a single purchase order.

Please can you give me the steps in detail to create a single PO.

Thanks,

You can achieve this provided you are usign sourcing cockpit. Makre sure that the SC is transferred to the sourcing cockpit and here you can select the required shopping carts and submit them to grouping(note there are conditions for grouping like same vendor, product category etc).

Then you can use the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED to create PO's for grouped shopping carts.

This is the only option available.

Hi,

I tried by selecting the two shopping carts and submitted for grouping In soucing cockpit and run the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED and provided inputs as those grouping shopping carts.But it is not processing any PO. Is the process I followed is correct.

Finally I tried another way where i submitted for grouping the two shopping carts and I processed Purchase Order for both the shopping carts.It Creates PO for those Shoppin Carts.

please give me suggestion on this ASAP.

Thanks,

The program should generate PO without any issues. Please read the documentation of the program for more

information.

Besides, did you make sure that the "Test Run" indicator was not checked while executing the report. Because if this indicator is checked the system will not create the PO. If there are any errors then the systemw ill nto create the PO.

Finally I tried another way where i submitted for grouping 
the two shopping carts and I processed Purchase Order for
both the shopping carts.It Creates PO for those Shoppin Carts.

The above does not sound correct as you are submitting to grouping and manually posting a PO for the same.

Hi Balakrishnan,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am awarding full points .....

Two more questions regarding the above scenario..

When we have added the shopping carts into Work list from sourcing cockpit and pressed the option "Submit to Grouping", they are succesfully grouped...

But later I was unable to find those Shopping carts again and as well as the purchase orders created from those shopping carts..

As you suggested I executed the program "BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED" by giving the shoppng cart numbers and by unchecking the TEST RUN.But Executing the program for the second time resulted a pop-up message "NO SHOPPING CARTS FOR SELECTION CRITERIA".

Here there are two questions for me.

1.How can we see the purchase orders created from the shopping carts after they are succesfully grouped.( In the Enterprise portal )

2.When we execute the program for the second time,,why we are unable to see the output.

Thanks,

Lakshmi...

Hi,

1.How can we see the purchase orders created from the 
shopping carts after they are succesfully grouped.
( In the Enterprise portal )

You can find the PO in the transaction Process Purchase Order (BBP_POC) or in the document history in the shopping cart.

2.When we execute the program for the second time,,why 
we are unable to see the output.

Once all the documents that have been processed (i.e PO is created) they are removed from grouping & sourcing cockpit. Hence you need to submit new shopping carts to sourcing cockpit and continue with the same logic.

Hope this solves your problem.
