Buyer Role (New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0 (SAP_APPL 600), you can use the Buyer role to access all the relevant activities of a buyer.
This business package is intended for employees in purchasing departments who are responsible for the external procurement of goods and services. All activities for daily operational purchasing are combined in this business package.

These include the following:

  • Assignment of sources of supply to open purchase requisitions
  • Creation of purchase orders on the basis of assigned requisitions
  • Processing of open and not-yet-completed purchase orders
  • Tracking of purchasing documents with the document tracing facility

The business package provides easy access to personalized worklists for frequently-used purchasing objects such as purchase requisitions, POs, vendors, or materials. You can invoke purchasing-relevant ERP transactions from within the business package.
In addition, the business package provides easy access to frequently- used procurement functions in mySAP Supplier Relationship Management (mySAP SRM).

The new Business Package for Buyers replaces the Business Package for External Procurement (SAP NetWeaver Portal 6.0).
