Shopper Role OverviewThe Shopper role in SRM is responsible for creating a “Shopping Cart” to purchase goods and/or services from a particular supplier.
Shopping Carts are line item driven, thus allowing the Shopper to:
• In many cases order items from multiple suppliers in one cart• Assign multiple or split account assignments for each line item
Only one delivery address may be selected per Shopping Cart.
