Enabling Cost Recognition for SSM

This Feature Console page provides an automated way to configure Strategic Spend Management purchase orders for cost recognition. When you enable the feature, fields are added to the source objects (Purchase Order, Purchase Order Line) and recognition settings and templates are created for cost recognition at purchase order line level.

Enabling the feature also creates the Revenue Management on SSM permission set which gives access to the fields that are created.

Ensure that you have system administrator permissions before attempting to enable this feature. For more information about prerequisites, see Enabling and Disabling Features.

To enable this feature, work through the steps in the order shown on screen. When a step has completed, its Status changes from "Not Done" to "Done".
