Enter Hosted Supplier Catalogs for Self-service Catalog
Explanation
An employee self-service catalog is used to define the products, services
and supplier catalogs that should be available for the employees in the self-service
procurement portal and use as a basis for creating a purchase request.
Use this activity to include hosted suppliers catalogs in the
self-service catalog by enabling the hosted catalogs per supplier. Note that
you are connecting a hosted catalog id to the self-service catalog and not a
specific revision of the hosted catalog. Only the Approved
revision of the hosted catalog will be available in the self-service portal.
Prerequisites
- The self-service catalog header must have been created and be in status
Planned or Published.
- The hosted supplier catalog must have been defined for the supplier
and be in status Planned or Approved.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The hosted supplier catalog for the supplier will be
available for self-service procurement once the self-service catalog is published to the
employees. Note that only Approved hosted supplier catalogs
will be available in the self-service portal also considering the Valid From and
Valid To dates of the hosted
supplier catalog.
- If the mapping between the categorization of the hosted supplier
catalog lines and the self-service catalogs category assortment has not
been established before adding the hosted catalog to the self-service
catalog, it will be automatically triggered when connecting the hosted
supplier catalog.
