  A shopping request is a type of purchase request in SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management). It is used to create a shopping cart for goods and services that are needed for a specific project or task. The shopping request is sent to the supplier, who then creates a shopping cart with the requested items. The shopping cart is then sent back to the requester for approval.

  To create a shopping request in SAP SRM, the requester must first log into the system and select the “Create Shopping Request” option. The requester will then enter the details of the items they need, such as quantity, description, and price. Once all of the details have been entered, the requester can submit the request to the supplier.
