### Understanding the SRM Portlet

The SRM Configurable Portlet provides a fully configurable shell portlet that you can easily change without Java programming. You can select the queries to display in the portlet at runtime using a wizard interface.

The SRMPortlet.war file includes an empty SRM portlet to use as a template for individual instances of the implementation portlets. To implement the portlet, complete these steps:

1. Create a new instance by copying the shipped portlet using the standard features of the portlet administration.

2. Assign permissions for users and place the portlet into a page.

3. Configure the portlet to communicate with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and to specify the queries that you want to include in the portlet.

Supplier Self-Service and Buyer Workspace

It is recommended that you create a page that contains portlets for suppliers and another page that contains portlets for buyers. All supplier applications are available to the buyer, so that the buyer can perform an action on behalf of a supplier if the need arises. The supplier however, cannot perform buyer tasks.

The following screen is an example of a page that has been set up for a buyer:

Buyer Briefing page

On this page, each of the portlets (PO Acknowledgement - Buyer, SRS - Buyer, and so on), is a copy of the SRM portlet, except for the OET Work Center portlet. Each copy of the portlet has been assigned a name that appears in the dark blue bar. Each portlet has been configured to include different alerts and those alerts have been configured in some cases to use customized descriptions.

### Configuring the Portlet

This section provides an overview of the configure wizard and discusses how to:

- Select alerts.

- Add alert parameters.

#### Understanding the Configure Wizard

You must configure each instance of the portlet to communicate with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You also configure the portlet to specify which alerts and tasks to display and to set up specific aspects of each task and alert, such as which version of the called program to use, whether the alert is used by the buyer or supplier, and the data that the alert or task displays.

You only need to configure each portlet instance once for all users. An individual with appropriate administrative rights must configure the portlet.

Note. You must advance through all steps of the configure wizard and click Done on the last step to save any changes you have made to the configuration.

### Editing the Portlet

This section provides an overview of the edit wizard and discusses how to edit alert parameters.

#### Understanding the Edit Wizard

You use the Edit Wizard to specify information for each alert such as the date to use and the number of days to use as the basis for date-sensitive alerts.

Edit settings are specific to each user so users can configure the portlet according to their individual preferences. However, as a result, you must complete the Edit Wizard for each portlet instance and each user.

Some alerts and tasks do not require configuration in the Edit Wizard.

When you edit tasks and alerts that have been configured for the buyer, you have all of the same options that you have when you edit tasks and alerts that have been configured for the supplier. In addition, you can specify a supplier address number so that the task or alert displays only records that are associated with a specific supplier. If you do not specify a supplier number, the buyer can use the task or alert to review records for all suppliers.

#### Page Used to Edit the Portlet

Configure Alert Parameters | N/A | Click . | Modify portlet definition.
