direct procurement always as extended classic -- why ?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

As per SAP's specification , ' SRM Server is the leading server for direct procurement. This means the system behaves according to extended classic scenario' .

Is there any specific reason on why the scenario would always be extended classic for direct procurement ?

And does this also imply that in a classic scenario, if a SC is created for a direct material which refers to backend material , the PO created would be in accord with the extended classic scenario ?

Reasons/Answers --- Anyone ?

thanks-

Harmeet.

Hi Harmeet

Yes, even in classic scenario, if a SC is created for a direct material which refers to backend material , the PO created will be in accordance with the extended classic scenario by default i.e. a local SRM PO would be created which will be replicated to ECC. However you can alter this behaviour and force the system to create a PO in ECC (like classic scenario) by implementing BADIs.
