SRM7 Supplier self registration

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I'm analyzing the supplier registration in SRM7 using the supplier self service.

I have the following questions:

1. During the supplier registration are 2 approval level process available (the first once the supplier has registered his basic data in SUS and the second after he has filled out the questionnaires) ore just one (once he has filled the questionnare)?

2. Once the purchaser has approved the potential supplier, which data will be transferred to SRM and ERP systems? Just basic data? And which kind of business partner will be created for the operational supplier (still not a supplier)?

3. Which master data can be changed by the supplier in the SUS?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best Regards,

Valentino

Hi Valentino,

1. As per my knowledge, workflow is only available once the supplier is to be accepted/rejected as a business partner in SRM. You'll have to build your own workflow to be triggered when vendor registers his basic data in ROS/SUS

2. Once the purchaser has approved the potential supplier, the purchaser fill will in a lot of details manually while creating this supplier in SRM. All the basic data that this supplier had provided while registration will be populated in appropriate fields automatically For vendors who are not yet approved as final suppliers, you can create bidders.

3. As per standard SAP functionality, supplier can only change basic data like Company name, address and contact details in SUS.

Hi Nikhil,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Regarding the point 2 i have still some doubt:

2. When the purchaser approve the potential supplier which actions he can carry out?

I. Transfer the potential supplier to SRM (where a new BP will be created) and complete his data?

II. Also transfer the approved potential supplier to ECC (as a bidder or supplier) where the new supplier/bidder code will be created (and mantained by the accounting in case the potential supplier has been approved as a supplier)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

When the purchaser approves the potential supplier, he can transfer the potential supplier to SRM where a new BP will be created. He will then complete his data

Also transfer of the approved potential supplier to ECC (as a bidder or supplier) where the new supplier/bidder code will be created (and mantained by the accounting in case the potential supplier has been approved as a supplier) --> This feature is

available from SRM 7.01 (Ehp1) onwards. For lower versions of SRM, transferring suppliers directly to ECC is not supported

Thanks Nikhil,

Just two more questions.

1. Is it possible for the suppliers to upload documents when registering in SUS from SRM 7.01?

2. Supplier contact person has to be created separately in both SUS & SRM or just in one of them and than transferred to the other?

Thanks a lot,

Valentino
