Hello all,
Usually I have the functional consultants activate the business functions, because the are usually prerequisites from the functional side, and the majority of these are not reversible. However, this past week I was tasked with turning on PPS in an SRM system. Okay, there were 5 switches the team wanted turned on, so I figured that was easy enough. Unfortunately I kept hitting an error while trying to activate a PPS function:
"PPS can only be activated in the extended classic scenario..."
So, naturally I started looking for the Business Function that matched that description... except there wasn't one. I did look up the prerequisites, and from a business function standpoint they were already met. After a quick Google search I came up with the solution (which was surprising, considering I misspelled my primary search term).
In order to fix this, one must dive into SPRO and activate the following:
Supplier Relationship Management → SRM Server → Cross-Application Basic Settings → Activate Extended Classic Scenario
Just set that, and you can activate PPS to your heart's desire. Keep in mind this setting is client dependent and must be set in EVERY SRM client.
Hope this helps...
Joey
