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.
