hi

The user has created the SC with all the details. but the follow on documnet is created in Archived status and also in ordered status. but in the R/3 system the PO is not created . So only the po number is reserved in Enterprise buyer system.

what might be the reason for this . And what to do to remove the archived status.

Hello Experts,

We have a situation where for some users, we are getting below error on opening any SC in "Application Monitors" from Enterprise Portal

While for some users its working fine.

Checked from both BASIS and Security perspective but nothing positive

Please advise

Hi guys,

Is there a direct way where I can link my PO, ECC created (BUS2012) to it's corresponding RFX response?

I am to create a table where all the PO's listed will have it's corresponding/originating RFX response.

I have tried the FM BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL but as per my research, it is only for PO's created in SRM (BUS2201).

Many thanks!

Hi Masters.

scenarie SUS 7.1 and ECC 6.0

On ECC PO is created with a Vendor 12345678X and that PO has a price conditions with another Vendor code 55555555X example. the PO is send to SUS ok the vendor 12345678X can  to process followins objects PO confirmation and Invoice too,

our necessity is the second vendor 555555555X  process theirs invoice about  of concepts of  Price condition on SUS.

its posible that kind of scenarie on SUS . any guidance to carry out this I will to thanks.

Dear Expert,

I need support with one topic in SRM. We créate SC and PO in SRM and we replicate in ECC.

All these objects are assigned to a WBS number.

We need to rename some WBS ID in our ECC system (PS, transaction CJ20N), this wouldn't impact in our MM documents (PR, PO, GR...), they will continue displaying the correct WBS (because the object is the same)

But our SRM documents will continue assigned to the old WBS code (that doesn't exist anymore). We will have an inconsistence between SRM and MM and the only way to solve this is reassigning the WBS in SRM (change the WBS for the same WBS, but with different code).

If we don this manually or using standard funtions we will have the problema that the POs would need to be reappoved, and it is not correct for us because from business point of view we are not changing nothing.

Does anybody have a solution to reassign the WBS without modify the document to prevent the PO approved are converted in PO not approved?

Thanks for your support,

Clara

This document explains how confirmations are transferred to ECC ( both material confirmations and service entry sheets) and gives some useful tips for supporting issues encountered.

Confirmations for Material items

Once the confirmation is created in SRM, an IDoc is created in SRM and an entry is made in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB table.

IDoc in SRM

BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB entry

GUID field contains GUID of confirmation

OBJKEY - IDoc number

CORE KEY - first 10 digits refers to PO number and last 10 digits refer to confirmation number

When the IDoc reaches ECC, system generates a new IDoc in ECC. To figure out the IDoc number generated in ECC, follow below steps

- go to BD87 and enter the IDoc number and execute.

- select node under MBGMCR and click on Trace IDocs.

- This will give IDoc number in ECC

- Go to ECC and open the IDoc in WE02. The status of the IDoc should be 53 (Application document posted)

Meanwhile the CLEAN_REQREQ_UP program (if scheduled as batch job) reads the entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB and calls FM B46A_GOODSMVT_UPDATECHECK (Note that this process is independent of whether the confirmation is posted in backend or not). In this FM there is a call to ECC using  RFC FM BBP_46A_DOCUMENT_UPDATECHECK, where the corresponding IDOC in ECC is read and GR number generated in the backend is determined and exported in table parameter RELATED_OBJECTS.

Entry with ELEMENT value INBOUND_OBJECT contains GR number generated in ECC in column OBJKEY

Entry with ELEMENT value OUTIDOC contains IDoc number generated in SRM in column OBJKEY

Entry with ELEMENT value INIDOC contains IDoc number generated in ECC in column OBJKEY

The GR number from ECC is taken and updated in BBP_PDBEH table using FM BBP_PD_CONF_SET_BE_REF and BBP_PD_CONF_SAVE

After CLEAN_REQREQ_UP runs successfully, entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB is deleted and 'Related document' tab in PO item is updated with backend number.

How it looks in ECC

How to find the IDoc in SRM for a given material confirmation

- Go to WE09

- Enter date range in 'created on' field

- Enter details as shown below

How to find the corresponding GR number in ECC

- In SE37 execute FM B46A_GOODSMVT_UPDATECHECK

- In IS_DOCUMENT_TAB, enter IDoc number in field OBJKEY

- In table CONTROL_RECORD enter below two entries with logical system of ECC

RELATED_OBJECTS Table will have details of ECC GR number and IDoc

How to create an entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB for a given material confirmation

In some cases where the status or the backend document number is not updated in related documents, we might need to create an entry in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB table manually.

- Go to SE37 and run FM BBP_UPDATE_LINK

- Pass 'IM' in import parameter doc_type

-Enter below values in IMLINK table

OBJKEY is PO number and GUID is confirmation GUID.

- Execute the FM

Return delivery in SRM

How it looks in ECC (A new material document with movement type 102 is posted)

Cancellation in SRM

How it look in ECC

IDoc Transfer process for Return delivery and cancellation is exactly as it is for confirmations.

Note: In Return delivery we can choose how much quantity we want to return but in case of cancellation we have to cancel the entire quantity of confirmation.

Confirmations for Service / Limit items

For service/Limit items, when confirmation is created in SRM, a new document called service entry sheet is created. The transfer process for service entry sheets, does not involve any IDocs and no BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB entries are created. Everything happens in FM META_ENTRYSHEET_CREATE, including entry sheet creation and updating of backend document number in table BBP_PDBEH. In ECC, every accepted entry sheet will have a corresponding material document posted. This is the reason why we see two entries in 'Related documents' tab of PO item (one for entry sheet with backend number and another with just backend number, but no SRM number)If we cancel the entry sheet in SRM then a new material document with movement type 102 is created in backend.

Confirmations for limit PO

How it looks in ECC

The relation between entry sheet and SRM confirmation is stored in field 'Communication number' in tab 'Origin' of Entry sheet (Table ESSR field USER1, we can use this table to find corresponding entry sheet for a given SRM confirmation)

Material document

Reference document field contains corresponding entry sheet number.

After cancellation of entry sheet from SRM, we have a reversal document created in SRM and it refers to same original ECC entry sheet. We also have a cancellation document with only backend number (this is the material document with movement type 102 in ECC)

How it looks in ECC. Please note a new material document with movement type 102 is created in ECC

Status of entry sheet in ECC is deleted

Everything is same for service POs

After creating confirmation in SRM

How it looks in ECC

After cancelling entry sheet in SRM

How it looks in ECC

Important notes:

When analyzing issues related to confirmations

- Check whether the confirmation is posted in ECC or not as described above

- If posted and the backend number is not updated in SRM or status is not posted in backend, for material confirmations update the BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB as described above

- If posted and the backend number is not updated in SRM, for service entry sheet, we have to update the BBP_PDBEH table directly with entry sheet number

- If the confirmation is NOT posted in ECC and status is Error in transmission or approved, try to transfer the confirmation from BBP_PD

Press enter after entering TRANSFER in command field and execute.

Dear All,

In Classic Scenario,

Please confirm, can vendor raise custom invoice in SUS as this is one of the requirement based on INCOTERMS.

Dear Experts,

The current implementation is SRM 7.02 but with normal userid/password authentication. Is it possible to have Digital Signature Certificate to make a second level of authentication?

Is it a part of standard SAP SRM implementation?

Thanks for prompt response.

Dear All,

I am in need of integrating the Movilizer platform with SRM 7 for shopping cart mobile approval. The details about Movilizer can be found here. - Movilizer - The Movilizer for SAP Workflow

Could you please share me your experiences/pain points which need to taken care upon the time of implementation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All,

We are using Plan Driven procurement scenario. We are adding components in the maintenance order in SAP PM which is creating a PR in ERP. When we replicate the new PR using the RFC program BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER it is replicating fine and creating a shopping cart. So far no issues and everything flowing fine.

Now when I add an additional component item in work order, PR is updated with new line and I execute RFC program BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER to transfer the changes to SC. Report executed but the replication is failing in SRM with error message Enter an item type(/SAPPSSRM/HIER002). When I debug the flow from ERP to SRM, BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE FM is being called with already existing cart no and new item and failing because no ITEM_PROCESS_TYP, EXLIN in BBP_PDIGP is getting determined and also the below field in BBP_PDISS is not getting determined.

PS_HANDLE_ITM

PS_EXSNR

PS_CTRL_KEY

PS_IPT

This happens only in change scenario as create scenario is working fine. I am not able to figure out why these are not getting updated and how they are updated. Any help to resolve my issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Experts,

Here is a situation-

When a user adds line items in SC screen and chooses "From old shopping cart / template" we get a lot of attributes copied from the old shopping cart item like- Company code, Plant, Storage Location, Delivery address.

We have a requirement in which old shopping carts will be treated as global template and the above attributes must get overwritten by the requester's default attributes( e.g. default storage location, default plant and other attributes). We can have it done in DOC CHANGE badi but if the user changes anything (like change of plant from default to non-default plant for the requester), we must be accepting the change too.

Kindly help.

Dear SRM Experts!

We are running SRM 7.0205 (SAPK-70205INSRMSRV), integrated with SAP ECC 6.06 (SAPKH60604), and have currently NOT activated “Hierarchies for Product Categories” in SRM (IMG activity - SAP SRM - SRM Server - Cross-Application Basic Settings - Activate Hierarchies for Product Categories, etc)

We are, however, using Product Hierarchies in SAP ECC (MARA-PRDHA), and have already replicated materials to SRM.  A few questions:

1. If we activate “Hierarchies for Product Categories” (above IMG activity) in SRM, does this allow us to replicate ECC product hierarchy to SRM? 
2. If so, how do we replicate the product hierarchy from ECC to SRM.  Do we use R3AS middleware transaction?  What load object is it “DNL_CUST_PROD1”)?
3. Once it is replicated, where is the ECC product hierarchy represented in SRM?  Is each SRM material (product ID) linked to a product hierarchy (similar to ECC field MARA-PRDHA?)
4. If we replicate ECC product hierarchies to SRM, will it have any negative impact on existing materials that have been previously replicated?  I see in the IMG activity defined above, it says "These hierarchy functions should not be reset once they have been activated."

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Aleem

Url link in shoppingcart for the long text messages is not highlited. It simple shows as text insted of link.

The same long text if I view from se91 tcode.. the link is appearing as link there, how to achieve this

Hi Team,

Upon ASN creation in SRM SUS XML message not generated to pass the information back to ECC and update confirmations tab in ECC Purchase order.

ASN number got generated and updated the SRM tables too and in SOST found email notification for the same,

This problem is only for one PO and rest of the PO's has got updated ASN details. Please suggest how and where to check for this.

Process flow which followed:

• PO creation will be done in ECC and the same will be replicated to SRM SUS
• PO confirmation will be done by Vendor from SRM portal which will update ECC PO confirmation tab
• ASN will be created by Vendor from SRM portal which will update ECC PO confirmation tab and creates Inbound delivery.
• GRN and Invoice will be done in ECC

Note: We are in SRM Release 713 with SP level 0006

Ramesh

Hi Experts,

We have implemented SRM 701 ECS.

Is there any way that the email notifications for the carts created using BUY ON BEHALF of functionality can be sent to the cart requester instead of the cart creator?

Hi SAP Experts,

We are using SAP 7 and we experienced an issue wherein the PO Should be auto approved but it is getting to Saved status. The issue was sovled after a restart of SRM but we need the root cause to prevent it from happening again.

The issue is intermittent and we noticed that the GUIDs of all 300 affected POs end in 08778646A.

Can you please advise if you are aware how the GUIDs are formulated? This could lead us to the root cause.

Hello.

In our project we are having a custom report for comparison of rfx responses (needed to include India cenvat rules etc in the comparison, also additional loading factors like custom duties)

We are using the FM BBP_PD_QUOT_GETDETAIL to get the details of the RFX responses, including item level value from the quotation.

However, the problem is that in certain cases, the value field returned by this FM is zero, e.g. in cases where supplier has quoted multiple price validity for the same item.

SAP has indicated that this FM is not released for customer use and is hence not supported; however they also clarified that the value will be zero in case there are conditions with validity date in the past.

Could you please share information on how the item value is arrived at in the standard response comparison ? Which FM or method is used to get the item value ?

Thanks.

Hi All,

We are having a critical issue in SRM company code based Vendor search. We are using Classic scenario.

By design we have different Vendor numbers for same Vendor across company codes. ie For example, Vendor name is Apple and Company code CC1, CC2, CC3. We have Vendor numbers as 111,112, 113 for Apple across CC1, CC2, CC3. Only 111 will be extended to CC1,112 to CC2 and 113 to CC3. At this point SRM Company code based search in Shopping Cart worked correctly. If we search using CC1 and Apple, we get 111 as result. As per expectation.

By a mistake, MDM team has extended all Vendors to all company codes. 111 to all CC1, CC2, CC3. Later we " Marked for Deletion" those irrelevant vendors for the irrelevant Company codes. ie 111 is marked for deletion in CC2 and CC3.

But, the SRM Company code based Vendor search in Shopping cart is having issues now. When we search using CC1 and Apple, we are getting all three results 111,112, 113. This is creating lot of issues for our users to choose the correct vendor between these three.

Kindly suggest a solution to solve this issues. Thanks in advance!!

Hello Experts,

My requirement is to provide a Column in POWL which will show the Notes which User would have added while Saving the SC.

User wanted to have a quick look for the notes they add for Pending carts.

I am looking forward for couple of options:

1. Adding a new Custom field on SC screen and bring it to POWL result seciton only.

2. Bringing Approval Notes (NOTM) data to POWL

3. Bringing Internal Notes (NOTE) data to POWL

Now, for 2nd and 3rd approach I have some basic doubts:

1. I beleive I cannot add NOTE / NOTM field directly to /SAPSRM/S_POWL_RESULT_SC_ITM

   - - As the value of this field could be read using FM READ_TEXT, so how can I call this FM and map the value to POWL Column

Apart from this, I would ike to understand how POWL query reads the DB. My query arises because we are simply mapping the fields only to DB criteria, so how system internally looks out for respective DB Table?

Many thanks in advance for your valuable inputs
