Info record mandatory for shopping cart creation in SRM classic scneario

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We are creating shopping cart in our SRM 7.01 system in classic mode. We have not created any info record for the product category and vendor in the backend ECC system.

Do we need create an info record for the particular combination of material group/material and supplier in the ECC backend system so that the shopping cart in SRM classic scenario creates a PO directly in the system?

Thanks and regards,

HI,

All you need is the source of supply, a direct vendor or a contract will do to create you PO as classic.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your update. So, what you mean that the SRM shopping cart with a direct vendor or contract can create a PO directly in the backend system even if the backend system does not have nay info record for the particular combination of the material and vendor.

Thanks and regards,

HI,

You are correct but you need to make sure the entered vendor or contracts exists in your ERP system.

To test this you can try creating a PO directly in the ERP system with the vendor and material you need with no info record and it will work.

Hi,

You must have an info record or a contract in the backend in case you are ordering free text items. (This is because price is picked from these 2 sources)

However if you are shopping via a catalog, then PIR is not needed.
