The employee self-service procurement portal is a tool for employees to easily find products available for self-service procurement and create procurement requests with pre-defined information.
Use this activity to specify or change the pre-posting information for the shopping cart lines before the cart is submitted to a purchase or inventory request. Pre-postings could for instance be cost centers or accounts.
Note that defaults for the pre-posting information can be connected to the users in the Self-service Procurement Defaults page and will then be fed into the shopping cart lines for the user. If the purchase is triggered from a work task or a project activity, the pre-posting will be defaulted from respective object rather than the user defaults.
As a result of this activity the pre-posting for the request will be defined and later on transferred to the purchase or material requisition when the cart is submitted.
