Customer usually list all the demand on the project, then convert that to a purchase requisition using the Create Project Supply option.

When using self-service procurement portal within a project, the purchase and material requisitions created will be connected to the project activity just as if they had been manually connected to the project and reporting costs in the same manner. However, this updated only in the supply side of the project.

Customer has a requirement where, they need to add a list of all parts required for the Project, and have one place to see this, so they can ensure all demands are met. Here, all other demands are shown apart from anything requested via Self Service Procurement? 

Is there any possibility for this?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi ​@Divya Wickramasinghe , 

    When using the self-service procurement portal via the command button available on a project activity, the intended behavior is to;

    do the shopping> add to cart > submit purchase lines> create purchase requisition lines connected to the project activity.  

    The PR lines will be available in the Supply> other supplies> Purchase Requisition Lines.

    Above process follows the same behavior when you manually create a Purchase requisition and then connect it with a project activity. 

    Please note that, misc. demands will not be created on the project side for these manually induced supplies. 
    You may refer the help documentation for further details regarding the Employee self-service procurement.
     


    Hope this helps. 

    With best Regards,

    Just checking back in on this, the lack of adding the misc demands onto materials and services seems like a huge opportunity missed. 

    SSP is very powerful, but project managers lose the ability to track all of ther material in one place as they do for any goods requested through a normal purchase requisition. 


    Are there any plans to develop this further?
