C_SRM_72 SAP Certified Application Associate - Supplier Relationship Management 7.2 Questions and Answers

Explanation/Reference:

You can use this business process for your inbound processing and receipt confirmation.

Whenever a company requires a product to be procured from an external source of supply, whether for use in production (raw materials) or for direct consumption (C-materials), the product will be delivered according to the official procurement document (a PO) agreed between two business partners.

The arrival of the goods could be announced by an advanced shipping notification (ASN) from the supplier. This states that the goods are to be delivered in a certain quantity at a defined date and time at a defined company location.

For the delivered product, an inbound delivery is selected and processed for put away.

Once the goods are taken into stock, a goods receipt must be posted.

The actual physical receipt of materials at the warehouse or the receiving locations can be controlled in different levels of detail. For example, you can control the process only at a document level using purchase orders and stock transports orders for inbound deliveries and shipments, or you can go up to the pallet and material level.

The receiving process is supported in different ways depending on your needs. Optionally, you can use inbound deliveries, advanced material flow, and process control functions.

These options include yard management, and warehouse management with task and resource management controlling the process down to pallet and package level using advanced strategies.

Inbound processing reflects the receipt of materials that are delivered to a receiving location.

This receipt can be processed based on purchase orders, stock transport orders, or a returns order.

It includes the notification of goods to be received, the put away, goods receipt posting, and the proof-of-delivery (POD) message to the supplier. By viewing the goods receipt from two perspectives, it is possible to follow the purchase order process and the physical material movements separately.

Process Flow

Explanation/Reference:

The number range for the supplier list has been defined.

This need to be done in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under

SRM Server -> Cross-Application -> Basic Settings ->Number Ranges ->SRM Server

Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges for Supplier List.

Carry out the following settings in Customizing:

• For the Shop application, you can specify that only the supplier list is to be used, or that the entries from the supplier list are displayed in an additional column in the original source of supply list.
• You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to define detailed criteria to display the supplier list.
• Supplier lists can be created for products or for product categories (and NOT for Product set-types). Product supplier lists take precedence over product category supplier lists

Possible sources of supply in the supplier list are:

• Suppliers
• Back-end contracts

You can do the following:

• Assign suppliers that belong to the purchasing organization selected on header level.
• Deactivate individual suppliers or back-end contracts within a supplier list. These are then no longer shown in the applications.
• Search for contracts directly in the back-end system using the input help, and subsequently transfer them.
