Hi all,

Can anyone explain me the steps for setting up Team purchasing functionality in SRM 7?

Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Step 1. Define my purchasing substitutes in Portal

Home -> Personalization -> SRM User Settings

or Right top, Personalize -> User Profile

Step 2. Save a Shopping Cart

You see the flag for team cart at end of SC creation. Set the flag and SAVE (not Order).

Step 3. Logon as purchasing substitute

You see team cart in POWL and Take Over button is active.

Regards,

Masa

hi diana

see the very useful functionality which your business expects.

from our mentor PETER NOWATH contribution to our community what is team purchasing.

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/Team+purchasing#Teampurchasing-Whatisteampurchasing%3F

The function Team purchasing was added with SRM 7.0. Within Team Purchasing the team members can take over shopping carts of others and process them. Former when an employee was on vacation or left the company, nobody else (beside of the administrator) could process his SCs. Now with the Team purchasing the users can define substitutes themselves, who are able to take over their SCs. The substitution authority can be also inherited, so for example when Purchaser2 is substitute of Purchaser1, and Purchaser3 is substitute of Purchser2, then Purchaser3 can also take over the SC from Purchaser1.
