Purpose
This page details the steps to be followed to activate the Simplified Shopping Cart in SRM 7 and briefly touches upon the
topic of creating a shopping cart in two steps.

Overview
The simplified shopping cart is a one-screen shopping cart with a new, easy-to-use user interface that allows you to search
for products in catalogs, compare the search results, and add items from the catalogs to the shopping cart. The simplified
shopping cart can be activated by activating the business function - SRM_SELF_SERVICE_1. This business function
introduce the benefits of new shopping cart features and will allow occasional users to order products or free-text items with
a few clicks.

Activating the Business Function

TCode: SFW5
Check the Planned Status check box and click on the Activate Changes button. The business function will be activated
through a background job. The status of the job can be seen in through Goto > Switch Framework Logs.

Transporting System Settings: To write to a transport request all settings that are displayed in transaction SFW5, choose
System Settings > Transport. There is no need to select any rows because it is not possible to transport only part of the
activated business functions. You need to specify a transport request. In the transport request, there is an object with the
name A and the explanatory text Status Tables Switch Framework Client-Independent. The data is imported into the target
system in the form of dictionary objects and is then activated.

Customizing Switch
Once business function has been activated, a customizing switch will be activated in SPRO. The corresponding switch
status can be found in the path: SPRO > IMG > SAP SRM > SRM Server > Display Status of Customizing Switches >
SRM_701_SIMPLIFIED_SC The switch will initially be Inactive, to activate the switch, click on the button on the left of the
switch as shown below:
