SAP SRM gives you vendor master data as well as vendor behaviour and forecasting vendor buying and paying behavour. Easily integrates with other SAP products and updates real time. Also usable by purchasing and supply planning departments in vendor contracts such as terms, discounts, and pricings.

SAP products are always hard to master and seting up a new profile takes time. Cannot be used in mobile, only desktop computer is needed.

This was a big step for our company as it reduced the paper work involved and the procure to pay process was more smooth and the use of shopping carts provides a better way of tracking progress of procurement

Integrates very well with existing SAP ERP and improves customer relationship with the company. The model of interaction of buyer side and seller side is a great step towards improving workflows. No extra licenses are required for users making it cost effective on a large scale.

Needs intensive training especially for people with no experience with using SAP systems. Customer support will be dependent on your knowledge of the issues or you may be dependent on a consultant.

user friendly ...all information at your fingertips

Ease of Purchase Order creation, receiving and submission of Purchase Order.

Using the correct account code combinations to create PO.

The standardization of the software in most companies help to understand and master this application. The simple interface and the ability to customize is a huge plus.

We need more training videos or guides to help master the software.

All the features are excellent and stay up to date

I love being able to manage our supply inventory in an organized fashion and the ability to share information with other employees.

This is a great product because of all the features it has, the abilities, and what you can do to export with it.

Like any SAP, this is very expensive. You get what you pay for, but at times a small business will have difficulties justifying the cost.

Its a very nice software which makes ones working easy and smooth. The process flow is simple and also the data saving feature is a real good feature.

Its one of its kind of software, the process makes it more simpler to use and one gets use to it in a few days of working on it.

It has world class inventory management features, running reports is easy, help in auditing and compliance activities.

I wish it to be more intuitive, lot of manual work is required to keep the records up to date.

Information sharing with vendors is being achieved through SAP-SRM

I like the fact that it's connected with your own ERP system so real-time information can be shared with vendor partners from the SAP system. I personally shared MM module data.

While it's very useful software, the interface is outdated. The information flow from SAP-ERP to SRM often gets stuck. Usage is not very intuitive.

Unfortunately I left the company where I learned how to use this software, but The Management of the Supply Chain was very easy with some few clicks all the process around.

As all SAP products you will have all the control, on real time of your processes and company. This software will inform to all processes stages what to do, Purchasing, Loading, Shipping. Once you get over the learning curve, you will not want to use another software

It´s a expensive software not affordable for small companies or Industries. It´s not a friendly user software for beginners, you have to have some computer skills. It´s easibility depends of how the user will parametrize your process. The learning curve is a little bit long.

From an approver standpoint, users are quickly notified via email and can easily click a few buttons to move forward.

The software is integrated well with SAP and ESS which makes it simple and easy for user to order items and understand how to order these items

Functionality is dependent upon procurement contracts with vendors offering cloud-based ordering with cost benefit and sourcing savings

Overall I would recommend SAP SRM as it makes it easy to manage vendors and process orders.

This software integrates well with other SAP products and is similar in layouts so is easy to pick up.

One thing with SAP SRM is that it takes a while to set up your profile and save the vendors that you use most often.

In my short time using SAP this has been an excellent tool that connects the supply chain network from either the supplier or the plant to the customer. Great flexibility to adapt to the different changes on a daily basis. Really intuitive tool which one you learn every day something new.

Short session time, some times you have a call or something to do out of SAP and then when you back your session is closed.

My overall experience was good with the product. Recommend for replacing manual ordering process

Reports, cataloging, approval cycle and reduction in time

Scanning and uploading of documents was a tedious job

Dynamic product that easily links and exports reports to other existing systems.

Limited documentation available online for troubleshooting.

Centralized sourcing and catalog models are good

Internal and customised configurations make the software a pain sometimes.

Wide variety of authorised suppliers to choose from, Better collaboration with suppliers and quote making got easy.

User interface is one thing I don't like with SAP applications those are not that appealing.

I've made a lot of buying through this application giving good results and leaving tracks of the process.

- It has a providers backup that helps you find providers registered without having code. - You just need 1 explanation to understand SRM buying process.

- In my company it's configured to have a lot of approval levels, so it takes too many time to finish a buying process.

Continental Corporation Worldwide uses SAP in our facilities for everthing from Warehouse Management to Production Planning and Financials. We are very impressed with all of SAP functionality and look forward to working with this software in the years to come.

I am not a power user of SAP. The functions I use had to be created custom. I have found that whenever I have a special need, it takes time to be created. For basic meeting our business needs, the system is very good.

This program has a ton of features to help with supply chain management. MRP function is one of the best I have used. It takes some learning to get all of the functions down but once you do the program runs flawlessly.

We currently use SAP software throughout Continental facilities worldwide. The software and solutions that SAP offers is second to none! Thanks SAP, we look forward to a long future in business with you!

There support is very lacking and slow

There is nothing that I like about this software program, the only reason we use it is at times our customers require us to.

This whole program needs an overhaul. Slow response, difficult to use.

ITS A GOOD SOFTWARE BUT NEEDS MORE GUI. THE CONTAINER MANAGEMENT MODULE IS GOOD AND IT ALSO DOES DMI SCHEDULING WHICH HELPS US OUT ON ADAY TO DAY BASIS.

Company purchased software and not very many updates. Easy to use and information available online through Google for any questions that I have.
