The employee self-service procurement portal is a tool for employees to easily find products available for self-service procurement and create purchase requests with pre-defined information.
Use this activity to submit a shopping cart to a purchase requisition.
As a result of this activity a purchase requisition is created for the shopping cart lines with supply option Purchase Order using the general information added in the shopping cart header and the pre-posting defined for the lines. If the Create Purchase Requisition in Status Released setting the the self-service procurement defaults is switched on, the requisition will be created in status Released and possible approval requirements will be picked up. Otherwise the requisition is created in status Planned.
For the lines in the shopping cart that refers to a work task, a maintenance purchase requisition that refers to the work task will be created in addition to the regular purchase requisition.
For lines that refers to a project activity, the reference will be transferred to the purchase requisition.
