Supplier Self-Registration – ROS

SRM —- Supplier Self Registration:

Overview of the Process:

>> Supplier clicks Registration URL and Fills the Registration Form.

>> System checks the Product categories selected by Supplier at time of Registration and Send questionnaires specific to Product categories either as link in email or as attachment depending upon the configuration done.

>> Supplier clicks link and fills the Survey Questionnaire and Click submit.

>>The Purchaser accesses the pre-screen supplier application from Enterprise Buyer Professional and verifies the responses from suppliers. If purchaser is satisfied with Supplier information, the supplier registration will be approved.

>>The approved supplier data can be transferred to EBP and a Business partner can be created.

>>Create Anonymous UserID for Supplier Registration:

Create a service user in Transaction SU01 and assign the following roles:

>> Assign anonymous UserID to Self-Registration Service:

When a new Supplier launches the self-registration page, the system should not ask for a userID and password. But when a new supplier submits the registration information, a temporary business partner is created in the ROS client. To Facilitates this, We need to assign an anonymous UserID with appropriate authorizations to the self-registration service in Transaction SICF to service ROS_SELF_REG.

Activate the following BSP Services for supplier self-registration using Tcode: SICF

Ø  Default_host-sap-bc-bsp-sap-ros_self_reg
