Hi Everyone,
We are in a classic scenario and our vendor master is centrally managed in ECC. We want to implement an Rfx Process without implementing the bidding Engine and SuS and we want to avoid creating Vendor Master record in ECC for ever bidder we have in SRM.
the proposed Process flow would be like this :
#1 We create new Bidders in SRM using Business Partner (xxxx series). (no vendor record in ECC)
#2 We input vendor bids using "Surrogate Bidding functionality".(Manually by Buyers)
#3 we award the Bid to the new bidder ( if he wins the bid)...
#4 We advise the Vendor Master person to create a Vendor Record (1xxxxxx) in ECC.
#5 Batch application will replicate the record to SRM with the same vendor Number (1xxxxxx).
after This, the next step would be creating a GOA or a PO but we can not do so because the vendor number we have in the Vendor Quotation does not have a link to a vendor record in ECC.
Linking BP(SRM) to Vendor master(ECC) using "Manage Business Partner" will not work for us, because we have a scheduled batch application that do the replication automatically and also it would be an inconsistency of vendor record number (xxxx) linked to(1xxxxxxx).
Aside from this scenario, we forsee, that if we implement SuS, were Supplier has to register by themselves in a DMZ server, a bigger problem would arise on maintaining the vendor master record and document strings.
