SRM_SOURCING_1: Earnest Money Deposit Handling (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management 7.0 (SAP SRM 7.0), you can process earnest money deposits, which potential suppliers submit together with RFx responses. The earnest money deposit acts as a guarantee of good faith for the fulfillment of a purchase order or contract.

You define whether an earnest money deposit is required for an RFx response when creating the RFx document. If an earnest money deposit is required, the RFx document displays the amount and currency of the earnest money deposit and instructions for completing the earnest money deposit process. Bidders can submit payment of the earnest money deposit at any point after the RFx has been published and before the completion of the evaluation and award of the RFx response. If an earnest money deposit is required, but not submitted by the supplier by the end of the evaluation period then the supplier might be deemed non-responsive.

You typically refund earnest money deposits submitted by unsuccessful bidders after the RFx process is completed and an award has been made. You can place the earnest money deposits of successful bidders in accounts receivable and return the amount when the purchase order or contract is completed.

Note:

Earnest money deposit handling was previously available in the Public Sourcing and Tendering scenario of Procurement for Public Sector and had to be activated using the business function SAP SRM Procurement for Public Sector Functions (/SAPPSSRM/SRM_PPS). This no longer applies. Instead, you must activate the business function SRM, Strategic Sourcing Innovations (SRM_SOURCING_1).
