Hello People,

I am working in to SAP MM- SRM Support services. Majority of what I do consists of reporting of various things according to user requirement. And most of what I do is to get certain data from one table pass it onto others and get some other data and join them into excel and present it to client.

For few weeks i use to do it Manually and didn't know that SAP has anything/program to help me get of exactly what I want.

Because most the system is customized and even for standard report and analysis was not producing the data my client required for further analysis.

So after few research here and there, reading many new functionalities and even understanding the creation of BAPIs for certain data creation and background jobs, but I was not satisfied as the client requirement would vary a lot on within few set of filters and stuff and I, being a Functional consultant side, didn't know on how to create BAPIs and it was also way smaller job so as to create a BAPI for the same.

But in all this mess of a research I came across the SAP Functionality of query Creation SQVI, It was exactly what i was looking for !!

THIS WORKS FOR SAP MM-SRM or any other tables. I am here taking an example for tables in SAP SRM.

It was simple to understand and easy to work with. Just few mins into the functionality and I know I have found my cancer's cure.

So for all those who are still suffering here is all you need to know for all the table related reports you were generating.

I would like to explain it with an example so for our better understanding.

My Client came up with the requirement that, they want a list of Shopping cart from the given list of PO in SAP SRM

MANUAL/PAST METHOD :

Into SE16 Transaction

PART 1: Insert PO data into table BBP_PDBEI

PART 2: Get 'Object GUID' from the above table and insert it in the table CRMD_ORDERADM_I

PART 3: Get '(Parent) Object GUID from the above table and insert it in the table CRMD_ORDERADM_H and get the list of required SC

PART 4: We have to combine all the sheets so as to know which Shopping Cart is for which Purchase Order, using VLOOKUP Functionality in Microsoft Excel.

Now instead we can use Transaction SQVI and proceed as follows:

1. Open the screen and in the "Quick View" Box, Enter the name of your query, can be anything, let say " PO_LIST_FROM_SC"

2. Click Create.

3. Choose a title. ( can be same PO_LIST_FRM_SC ). NOW CHOOSE "TABLE JOIN" in the data source, as we want to join few tables to get our report. and Basic or Layout mode choose any,

4, Now a blank screen will open with the title " Create QuickView ( your name of query, in our case PO_LIST_FRM_SC) : Choose data source

5. As you can see few icons on the top of the page, Click on the second Icon of "Insert Table". and insert the table you want to join, in our case ,

    "BBP_PDBEI".

    Repeat the process and insert the tables "CRMD_ORDERADM_I" and "CRMD_ORDERADM_H" as well.

    All the tables can be seen as a box in the screen with their titles

6. As you can see there is small link( thin black line) between the tables. This line is how the system would match the data between tables and would

    create a common table. see that there are no two lines in our case because we just want to match the list of 'Object GUID' into first two tables

    "BBP_PDBEI" and "CRMD_ORDERADM_I".

    If there are 2 lines then we can simply click one of them and right click and use "delete link" to delete the link. we can also pick and drop the link on the

    fields that we like to match between tables.

7. Now do the same between the tables "CRMD_ORDERADM_I" and "CRMD_ORDERADM_H" and join the "(Parent) Object GUID" from the first table to

    "Object GUID" in the second.

8. You can also click the first Icon on the menu bar and can check the link joined between all the tables are defined correctly or not.

    You can see the tables joined in the navigation view in the lower center of the screen and can also see the area covered by our screen.

9.  Now go press the back button and come on the initial screen. This screen is mainly divided into two parts, but basically both of them would perform the

     same thing to our table. i.e. that it would help us with the field that we want to be on display and the we fields we want to hide.

    As you can see on the LEFT hand side of the screen, the names of our tables listed , drop down them (double click) and choose the view that you want to

    be  it 'Listed' in the result and fields that are present to enter the data or selection fields.

    In our case the listed fields would be Shopping Cart numbers and Purchase order numbers

    And selection field would be Purchase order numbers.( we can use as many fields as we want from all the listed tables)

10. Execute and you would reach a new program. This is what we require.

Now insert the PO numbers and execute and you would get List of shopping cart related to it.

WE have to create only once this query and every one can use it from the 'SA38' - Program executor.

Please Note: For others to use the program, you need to write down the name of the program when you in step 10, in the above process and share it manually with everyone in the team for them to use it.

So this was a simplest example that I can come up with for using this extraordinary function " SQVI". You can join various tables and other data sources given in the option and explore this option.

It worked for me as a life saver from daily reporting of various things.

I hope it does the same for you.

Please share your thoughts and experiences on the using this function.

PS: Remember this, as only the user who have created the query can edit it into the system , no one else can. And also you can always use the same transaction 'SQVI' to make any changes in the queries you have created.

Hi Experts,

I'm confused about this new issue we're dealing with. We have a vendor "A" which has a PI partner function "B." Both vendors A & B are set up for SUS, with partner profiles, etc. When I create a PO with vendor A, however, and then create an invoice against the GR in SUS, the invoice created in ECC is against A, instead of B. Is there some way to address this?

I would have expected that ECC would look to the PO header (or maybe even the vendor master) to determine the appropriate partner.

Thanks,
Seth

Hi Experts,

In our system one user able to edit decimal notation. Whenever he changes in portal it will get reverted back to old setting. We have CUA in place and we changed decimal setting local in scum. Even user decimal notation is right in back end system(ABAP). Could you anyone suggest solution for this.

Thanks,

Some time ago I created a document to show how can display some custom data in a SRM document adding a custom button and calling a custom WebDynpro:
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-25271

But this example only shows how to display some data, not how to update the data. In this new document we’re going to see other way to do it and with the possibility to update the data when you are editing the document.

In this new example we’re going to create a custom table to save some data related with the items of our SRM document. You can enhance this solution adding other tables or custom fields.

1. First thing to do is create a custom table to store the data

We have as Key fields the following fields:

- OBJECT_ID: Id of the SRM Document.
- NUMBER_INT: Id of the SRM Document item.
- CUSTOM_POS: A counter with the “sub-item” number.

In this case, as example, we have the fields Quantity and Unit.

We’re going to create also a table type for this table:

2. Function Group to save and retrieve the data

We are going to use a FG to get, set and save the data. The reason for this is that while the caller program of any FM in this FG is alive the data stored in the include TOP is alive.

So we can store temporary data in the TOP and use any FM in this FG to retrieve or save the data from our custom WebDynpro but also from the badis BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI, BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI, etc.

Goto SE80 and create a FG ZZCUSTOM_DATA. Go to the include TOP and create the internal table to store the data.

Create the following function modules:

2.1 Function Module ZZCUSTOM_DATA_SELECT

We will use this FM to select the data stored in the database.

2.2 Function Module ZZCUSTOM_DATA_GET

We will use this FM to get the data related with one of the document items.

2.3 Function Module ZZCUSTOM_DATA_SET

We will use this FM to update the data stored in our TOP include.

2.4 Function Module ZZCUSTOM_DATA_SAVE

We will use this FM to save the data in database.

3. Creating the custom WebDynpro

Goto SE80 and create the Web Dynpro Component ZZCUSTOM_DATA.

3.1 Go to the Component Controller and create an interface node INFO with the following attributes:

We will use this interface node to pass some data from the standard component.

3.2 Create also a table node to store the custom data:

3.3 Get and save the data

We are going to get the data every time the window is opened and set the data every time the window is closed.

Map the nodes created in the component controller within the window context:

Go to the method WDDOONOPEN of the window and add the following code:

With this we obtain the data related with one of the items every time the window is opened.

Add the following code in the method WDDOEXIT:

With this we update the internal table we have as a "buffer" in the include TOP of our FG.

3.4 Go to the Main View and create a table to display the data:

First you need to map the nodes in the context.

Create the table and a toolbar with two buttons to add and remove rows. Create an action for each button.

Create also an input field to display the item number and check the property READ_ONLY of this field.

Bind the property READ_ONLY of the table with the attribute READ_ONLY we have in the context:

In this way we control when the table will be editable depending on the value of this attribute.

Bind the property VISIBLE of the toolbar with the Inverse of the attribute READ_ONLY to not display the toolbar when we enter in Display mode:

Add the following code to the action ADD_ROW:

And to the action REMOVE_ROW

4 Adding the button to the standard component

  We are going to create a new button at the SC item level.

  You can also use the same custom component to show a popup in other docuents, PO, RFx, etc.

  Create a new SC and check the technical help to find the standard webdynpro component:

In this case we can see the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_SC_DOTC_BD.

4.1 Go to that component and create a new Enhancent point

4.2 Add as Used Component our custom component

4.3 Go to the view V_SC_DOTC_BASIC and Add the used component

4.4 Map the interface node INFO in the context

4.5 Add a new button to the table toolbar to call our component and create an action to it

4.6 Adding code to the button

we are going to show a popup with our component. To do that we are going to use the Code wizard:

We need to pass to our component some data through the interface node, like the item number or the display mode, this the entire code of the button:

5 Saving the data

At this point you can use the button and you can display and modify the custom data:

But we need to save this data in the database, to do that we are going to use the badi BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI.

5.1 Create a new implementation of the badi

Set the filter value for the Shopping Cart

Call the FM we’ve created to save the data

Now you can save the data. If you save the document and enter in display mode you can see you cannot modify the data. You can only modify the data if you enter in Edit mode.

You can enhance this solution adding other custom tables or custom fields to the custom webdynpro and creating the proper FM in the FG.

You can add some validation when you are saving the document creating an implementation of the badi BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI and using the FM to get the data we have in our FG.

Hello Experts

Need your help pls so we can adjust the product details screen (when item link is clicked from search results) to display the text more visibly and narrow down that allocated to the image.

Any idea how to do this? Is this standard behavior?

Thanks for your support.

Hi experts

We don't have SUS but want to use PO response creation using supplier's XML.

Any list of config and enhancements and caution needed to implement this?

Appreciate your support.

Hi,

We have a requirement as -

While creating a Shopping Cart, the Ship To address (Delivery Point - Partner Fct - 27) is getting picked up from the Standard

Ship to Address maintained against the Purchasing data. Now if a user modifies the Ship To Address while creating the Shopping Cart, we should be able to catch that when we use the standard Function Module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL to retrieve the Shopping Cart data.

My query is - how can I understand whether an user has modified the standard Ship To Address through BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL or using transaction BBP_PD?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Trying to PFAL a Person from ECC to SRM, but the Idocs are going to 64 status.

But, everytime new BP is being created.

Position for this user is already in SRM, but no BP-CP link exists for same.

Can someone please suggest on this urgently.

Hi,

PO created in SRM extended classic scenario transfers to ECC system, require to send PO's via XML from ECC system. Is there a way we can create IDOC for SRM transferred PO in ECC to map IDOC with PI to initiate XML output medium? Thanks.

Bidder contact person is required agent as a part of RFX process.

Bidder user is there with all relevant roles in SRM and on PORTAL
as well. User is there in SU01D, PPOSA_BBP, vendor is there in PPOSV_BBP without contact person.

We are using SRM ADMIN to create a  contact person with
reference from portal. While doing so we are getting below error message on
screen.

BP displyed in error message is not at all there in BP nor in PPOSA_BBP. We do not know from where system is showing this message and relationship with BP.

Message no BBP_BUPA 395

Hi all,

We are on SRM 7.0 and ECC 600. We are running Extended Classic Scenario.

PR-SC-BID-SRM Leading PO - ECC PO

The transferred purchase order in ECC is not determining the message class NEU in  Messages.

IIn the extended classic the printout is mandatory to be done in SRM or could be done in ECC also?

Thanks

Hello Gurus,

     While going through the creation of SC , we started facing the issue while choosing the Product Category for Free Text. We are currently working on SAP SRM 7.0 Ehp2 . Now as we checked with SAP and SAP has provided a KBA " Please use the help , if product category is linked with multiple backend system" . Now we do have Product Category linked with Multiple backend system. We found a note  2005091 : Product category exists more than once; use input help . It helped but only for those Product Categories which are linked to single backend system. 

So in-order to solve this , we are looking for a solution to check the Product category based on the user . I also found the FM which could read the Product Category based on user.

Moreover while going through the code change /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_I_DES with the Webdynpro , has anyone done such kind of change . Or any idea of how to proceed , so that the Product Category is picked based on user profile in Org Structure.

Thanks

Hi Experts,

We have implemented SRM 7.0 Ehp3 with SUS. We are developing the Vendor self registration functionality. After the vendor registration is approved system normally assigns pre-defined standard roles.

Now we have created custom roles by copying the standard ones and have re-generated the authentication profiles.

But now when the vendor registration is approved none of the custom roles are getting assigned to the vendor user.

Could you please help on how to get the custom roles assigned to the vendor instead of the standard ones.

When a user creates a shopping cart and clicks on box next to account assignment for asset or cost center, the user gets "Accounting value help: Password was not used for a long period and therefore deactivated."

I checked the user and rfc users set up in ECC and everything is fine and no password is deactivated.

This works fine in quality system, but it is giving above error message in production system.

I compared most of the settings in SPRO between Q and P systems and they are identical.

I am running out things to check.

Has anyone face this issue before?

Anyone has any suggestion?

Thanks.

Hi team,

We had insalled EHP6 ECC6.0 and SRM 7.02.I have following issues.

1) We had activated  Business Function- SRM_SOURCING_1,  then SRM_CROSS_INDUSTRY_1 and SRM_PUBLIC_SECTOR_1 for PPS for EHP2.

But the PQQ tab or PQQ related fields are not coming in the Portal for 2 Envelope BID? Is any Bussiness functions need to activate?

2) We had installed C folder in SRM. We are able to login to C-folder.We have few issues

We maintained the System landscape settings in SPRO with Log System, RFC destination as SRM local , with RFC checked and Sys.type as Coflders.

When we try to create with the 2 bid envelope system is giving a dump screen as follows

http://REMOVED:5000/sap/bc/webdynpro/sapsrm/wda_l_fpm_oif

Can any body help on this?

Hi dear community,

does anybody has experience with Barcode processing in SRM? We need to enter the Barcode in SRM when creating a confirmation for goods receipt (instead of entering the Barcode in ERP, there the functionality is standard.).

We searched for a way to store the barcode in SRM, but it seems SAP didnt enable this functionality for SRM, so the only way is to go via ERP?

I found table BDS_BAR_IN in ERP, where the barcode is stored together with the backend confirmation number. But how to fill this table from SRM? And is this the only thing to do here? Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tolga
