Automate purchase order creation process for activities assigned to crowd technicians.

Activity dispatching

Assignment of an activity to a crowd technician triggers control key change of the service order’s operation. A purchase requisition is created based on data from the technician’s vendor’s agreement.

Activity release

Releasing the activity triggers release of the purchase requisition and creation of a purchase order. Such a purchase order should be then released manually.

Activity acceptance

If the activity is accepted in the Crowd portal, the purchase order is confirmed.

Activity rejection

If the activity is rejected, the purchase order is deleted.

Technician assignment update

Purchase requisition is updated if a new technician is assigned, but a new purchase order is created.

Example flow

Create a service order operation with standard control key, in the example below - ZS01, Service-intern..

...

 

Assign the activity to a crowd technician on the Planning Board in SAP FSM:

...

 

Draft activities are sent to SAP ECC/S4:

...

The control key in the service order operation changed to ZS02, Service-extern. This is done based on customizing in /PACG/ECM_CKDET - Control key determination.

...

The crowd technician’s vendor is determined from its master data. Price, material group and assignments are added to the service order. The price and amount was copied from the vendor’s outline agreement. If the UoM is the same as in the service order, then the quantity is copied from the service order. If there is a difference (as here in order “H” and in agreement “AU”), then UoM and quantity is copied to the service order.
