Participants work through Sourcing Projects, Templates, Tasks, and Team Structure to establish a governed project structure before event execution. The activity is grounded in a procurement category team running a competitive sourcing initiative with multiple lots, cross-functional evaluators, supplier questions, scoring rules, and award approvals and contributes directly to transparent sourcing decisions.
The instructor traces Project creation workflow, Template selection, Tasks and phases, Project team roles through the course scenario, explaining navigation, decision logic, dependencies, system messages, and the evidence retained in sourcing project setup workbook. The walkthrough also shows how to investigate the condition where a mandatory approval task is omitted from the selected template.
Complete a controlled activity covering Project creation workflow, Template selection, Tasks and phases, Project team roles and preserve the final result in sourcing project setup workbook.
Start at the earliest point where expected SAP behavior differs from the observed result. Review process sequence, master data, organizational assignments, configuration, authorization, integration, and timing separately. Treat “a mandatory approval task is omitted from the selected template” as a testable hypothesis until settings, documents, logs, reports, and retest outcomes confirm the cause.
Learners can apply Sourcing Projects, Templates, Tasks, and Team Structure, explain the resulting SAP behavior, and defend the outcome through sourcing project setup workbook.
