SAP External Service

Management

Firstly -- SAP External Service Management (ESM) must not be confused


with SAP Service Management (SM). ESM is the procurement of services.
SM is to provide services to a client.
With External Services, you have a PO for services with Goods Receipt
taking place. The Goods Receipt is called Service Entries. In contrast with
goods (stock or non stock) where receiving is typically done by the
inventory management group, the Service Entries are done by business
themselves. The logic is that the business generated the request for the
service, that is where it was done, it will be best if they do confirmation
that
service took place.
