Definition of Shopper & Shopping Cart The Shopper role in SRM is responsible for creating a Shopping Cart to purchase goods and/or services from a particular supplier. ShoppingCarts areline item driven, thus allowing theshopper to: Order items from multiple suppliers in one cart Assign g multiple or split account assignments for each line item 4
SRM Shopping Methods There are three different types of shopping methods: Catalog orders are used for the University s highest volume suppliers. Shoppers will punch out out to the suppliers external websites. Approval is required for all orders over $2,000. SRM immediately creates and transmits a purchase order to the supplier. Contract orders are used to select line items from established University contracts within the SRM environment. After appropriate approvals, SRM immediately creates and transmits a purchase order to the supplier. Free Text orders are used when items cannot be found in catalogs or contracts. Shoppers enter information similar to the requisitioning process in the current SAP purchasingsystem system. After approvals, free text shopping carts are forwarded to Purchasing for processing based on established policies and procedures. Purchase orders are the document issued for all shopping methods. 5
