Motivation
During the course of an average project, I am usually
called upon by a project manager to help screen
resources for different parts of the project. And one
thing comes to mind if done properly, its very time
consuming, and its really hard work!
My interviews usually sound something like this
Jim: Please rate yourself, on a scale of 1-10 on your
SRM knowledge and experience
Interviewee: Um, probably something like 10
Jim: OK, so, let me just say something... I dont
believe there is such a thing as a ten.
Interviewee: What would you rate yourself?
Jim: I rate myself an 8.
Interviewee: Why so low?
Jim: Theres no such thing as a ten. All of the nines are
working at SAP, SAP Labs, or SAP Consulting, and so
basically that puts me at about an eight. But were here
to talk about your skills. And so you think youre a 10,
huh? OK, so tell me what you know about debugging
the n-step approval workflow
And then I try to ask the questions that truly flesh out a
persons understanding of the software. Its part

Verification?
- 47 -
With
purchase-order-based Invoice Verification, all of
the items of a purchase order can be settled
together, regardless of whether or not an item has
been received in several partial deliveries. All of
the deliveries are totaled and posted as one item.
Invoices based on Goods Receipts. With goodsreceipt-based Invoice Verification, each individual
goods receipt is invoiced separately.
Invoices without an order reference. When there
is no reference to a PO, it is possible to post the
transaction directly to a Material Account, a G/L
Account, or an Asset Account.
