same thing.

Hello,

we plan to upgrade our SRM system based on NW ABAP 7.0 EHP1 SP08  (full ABAP)  to EHP3.

We have also a SAP MDM catalog configured as :

my question: SRM upgrade have any impact on MDM? should i upgrade my MDM also?

Thank you  in advance dor your help

Roles

For information on roles in SAP SRM 7.0, refer to the following:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/74/344c430fab4d0bbc30996d56cc293a/frameset.htm --> Business Packages --> Business Packages for SAP SRM 7.0

Here you will find the relevant roles in Sap sRM 7.0, based on different requirements like Harmonized Procurement for SAP ERP & SAP SRM, SAP SRM Procurement for Public Sector or SAP SRM on One Client in SAP ERP

SAP Note 1261825. Here, you will find a comparison of PFCG and portal roles in SAP SRM 6.0 and SAP SRM 7.0

The new User Interface and Portal environment --- makes it easier for employees to personalize the User Interface content; for example, by using WebDynpro’s inbuilt personalization functions and Personalized Object Work List (POWL). For your IT department, it is easier to control the usage

of applications based on roles in the SAP Enterprise Portal.

Portal Business Content --- Completely new Portal Business Content has been introduced in SAP SRM 7.0, offering full role-based access for employees. The new Business Content integrates SAP ERP user interfaces and

SAP SRM user interfaces in a seamless fashion.

Single Sign-On

In general, the authentication for single sign-on (SSO) is set with a Logon Ticket that is generated at the

first logon to a specific Enterprise Portal, and which must be uploaded into each target system that needs

to communicate with the portal.

You do this in transaction STRUSTSSO2:

1. Add to Ticket List (known within the complete system)
2. Add to ACL (valid for the client)

In transaction RZ10, you must ensure that the following two parameters are set correctly:

• Login/accept_sso_ticket: 1
• Login/create_sso_ticket: 2

A general recommendation, in order to avoid problems with single sign-on, is to always use fully qualified

domain names. An example:

1. https://portal/irj/portal
2. https://portal.wdf.sap.corp/irj/portal

Even though URL 1 can be resolved correctly on the IP level, it can cause problems with SSO, as the

browser does not know that the cookie stored as the logon ticket for URL 2 can also be used for URL 1.

The only reason that URL 1 can be resolved at all is that the name portal is already unique for this portal.

For further information about Single Sign-On refer to:

• http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/ea2fd5b2201bdae10000000a11466f/frameset.htm (Technology Consultant's Guide --> Authentication and Single Sign-On)
• SAP Note 1257108

User Management

We recommend using single sign-on (SSO) for User Management. Therefore, the usernames in both

SAP SRM and the Portal must be the same. In order to determine which actions are necessary, the

following decision tree can be a help:

Note: SAP recommends use of ABAP only if the portal is used for SAP SRM exclusively. If the portal is not used for SAP SRM exclusively, we recommend using LDAP.

Roles for SAP SRM

The following sections describe the PFCG roles available for SAP Supplier Relationship Management 7.0 (SAP SRM 7.0).

Dear Srm Gurus,

I am New to SRM Pricing using IPC. As per my client Requirement we need One to one mapping Pricing Conditions from RFx Response to ECC Purchase Order.We are in classic scenario & Srm 7.0. As standard Net price is triggering to ECC PO but we need RFx Response conditions maintained by Vendor need to trigger in ECC PO as same Conditions,not as net Price.

                                      RFx Response In SRM                             ECC Purchase Order

                                             PBOO  as 100 rs------------------------------->    PBOO  as 100 rs

                                             ZTAX  as   200rs-------------------------------->  ZTAX  as   200rs

                Net Effective Price                   300rs-------------------------------->                  300rs

how can i achieve this Functionality???

Hello All,

We have enabled Brazil configurations in SRM and as a result of it the tab Table Extensions in SC and PO is enabled automatically. We have requirement to hide this tab for all countries except Brazil. I found that in the WD component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_SC_DOFC_D1 we can achieve this by extending the WDDOMODIFYVIEW when all the context data is filled from the metadata.

Is there any cleaner way where this can be hidden through configuration? I do not want to do code modification. If the tab is enabled based on Brazil configurations then I believe there should be a place in the configuration to hide the same.

Can someone throw some light regarding this?

Thanks,

Nagarajan.

Hello SRM experts,

do you know if it is possible to use MDM catalog (7.1) to SRM 4.0 as a punchout catalog?

Thanks for the support

Dar SAP expert,

i have the following question, regarding online bidding scenario.

Purchaser adds expected price for each item in bid and then sends the bid invitation to suppliers.

When a supplier opens the bid invitation all items have 0 value and totale value is 0 too.

Is this the standars behavior? Shouldn't the vendors display the expected value entered in the bid by purchaser? (otherwise, what's the user of those prices??)

Thanks a lot and regards,

Ci

Most you wondered how to activate the digital signature functionality in SRM. If you go to SPRO it is just a single node.But we have to do really do some work behind to make the Digital Signature feature really work. I am sharing my bit of knowledge on this to activate and make the single node SPRO functionality really work .

What is Digital Signature and where do I get one?

If you search in Google you will get thousands of answers for this question, so let us stick to the answer first Google returns

“It is a digital code (generated and authenticated by public key encryption) which is attached to an electronically transmitted document to verify its contents and the sender's identity”. ie. it is a method using PKI infrastructure to avoid non-repudiation and to provide authenticity and integrity of a message . To make it bit more complicated when I am sending a document I will use my Private key to Sign the data and receiver will use the public key of the certificate to

verify it (fyi ,for encryption it is just opposite ).

SAP digital signature component will take any types (No Class limitation) of Digital Certificates (X509 Format).

The only check it has for Digital Certificate isKey Usage validation in the certificate as( 0-Digital Signature & 1- Non Repudiation).So technically we can even use a self signed certificate or a certificate generated from a demo X509 certificate Generator(For testing purpose you can use a demo certificate from this) but normally a certificate is issued by a Certifying Authority(CA).This is to make legal validity of a data exchange.

In India Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA) has authorized different CAs to issue Digital Signature Certificate.

You can find the licensed CAs in India below link.

http://cca.gov.in/cca/?q=licensed_ca.html.

Pre-requisites to enable Digital Signature in SRM.

Before start using Digital signature in SRM, you have to download and install SECULIB component from service market place. Also SECULIB profile has to be setup in RZ10. Below OSS note will help you in completing these tasks. This is a technical activity, so please take the help of your SAP BASIS consultant to complete the setup. After the setup please don’t forget to re-start the server.

1471126 - STRUST: How to correctly install SAPCRYPTOLIB

662340 - SSF Encryption Using the SAPCryptolib

578377 - Digital signatures with SAPCRYPTOLIB

Activate Digital Signature in SRM

You can activate the Digital Signature under the node

SPRO->Supplier Relationship Management->Cross application Basic setting->Digital Signature->Activate Digital Signature.

Here you can make Digital signature mandatory, optional or not required for required document type upon your business requirement. For RFx Transaction category is BUS2200, Transaction type you can select for your required categories. RFx Response it is QUOT-BUS2202. Also follow below note to setup the iView details.

1377544 - iView not found error when Digital Signature is active.

Upload the certificate root to STRUST_SSO2

In order to Sign and verify a RFx or RFx response. The root certificates (CAs Roots) needs to be uploaded to the transaction STRUST_SSO2.  You can even export the public key of a person’s certificate (can be exported as a .cer file)from Microsoft IE key store and put in STRUST transaction, then the  signing and verification will happen even with that. Exporting and storing individuals public certificate is not recommended because STRUST is not indented to store large certificate data (from all your bidders or purchasers)as it is designed like that. If you take deep dive into DSC then actually the verification should happen will the public key of the certificate. Still wonder how SAP is verifying with the root CA certificate

    Procedure to export the PFX certificate form IE keystore.

Procedure to import the Root certificate to STRUST_SSO2

Go to STRUST_SSO2 transaction then select certificate->import then save it.

Get Ready to test the application

Before you start you have to install the certificate ( .PFX file )from CA to the IE keystore. If you are getting a USB token with certificate plug-in the USB token before you start(install the token drivers also). Now you are ready for testing . You can create and Rfx and fill the require data and publish.When you first run in the IE browser it will ask you to install a cab file SAPSIGN.CAB.(Popup blocker should be de-active before you run this and always run IE as “Run as Administrator”(right click IE icon you can see this option)) . First time it will give a signing error next time it will ask a popup with the DSC. You can click sign and proceed. If the root of the CA or public key of the personal certificate (.cer file) is uploaded in the server (STRSUT)it completes the signing process and saves the document otherwise you will get an error "Document could not be signed".

Scope for SAP-DSC improvements.

The main scope for improvement to avoid the OS & browser dependancy.

1. It will not support any new generation browser like chrome, Mozilla, safari etc. Because it is build on a Microsoft platform and only support IE and Windows OS.
2. I have tested the application with IE 8, 9 with OS (XP,Vista,Windows 7). But my initial testing on IE 10, 11 on windows 7 has failed. Also not sure whether it supports on Windows 8.
3. Certificate Revocation: The validity of the certificate needs to check using Certificate Revocation List(.crl file) or Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP). You can also develop an alternative solution to avoid this limitation.

Component for raising OSS and necessary links.

Even after these steps if you are facing some other issue you can  raise an in the component BC-SEC-SSF Secure Store and Forward. Also make sure you have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) in your desktop pc or laptop (if using on Windows XP).

In this blog i am a bit more specific to indian DSC  as am not that much aware of how this work in other countries. If you know about this you can share your experience also.

Hi Forum Members

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm sure it will have been but I can't find a relevant answer....

In our SRM 7.02 Manager Inbox POWL we are seeing other work items apart from shopping cart approvals in the category "Work Items".

What we would like to see is only shopping carts awaiting approval by the manager.

Using POWL_COCKPIT I have changed the query parameters of SAPSRM_IBO_INBOX_01 but the manager can easliy clear these settings using the Settings option (we have hidden the Change / Define / Personalise options in the POWL using authorisations).

How can we set the query parameters and make them not changeable? Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance

Mark

Hi Experts,

Once I delete any line items after "ordered" status, system is not triggering new output. How to make it possible?

Thank you,

R.S

User got this error when trying to create a confirmation in SRM.  Requester of the PO left the company so he is not in the org structure anymore.  How can we address this issue?

We have an issue that the PDF link is not working for Vendors to show the Manufacurers' code and Message code when vendors are creating the RFx response (quote) in SUS. Any idea? What could be the issue?

Hello,

We currently have a worklist and query ID setup (standard) which displays the BP vendors ( partner category 2 ) , and also gives us the ability to create a new vendor BP (see screen shot).... I understand this is because we have a POWL configuration setup, which has a feeder class which pulls in this data set....

However, what we would like to have is another query ID setup which just displays the vendor group BPs, (partner category 3)... similar to when you just look at the contact BP queries.

Can some tell me what feeder class and where in the feeder class ( method?) the data is determined to pull in the parnter category 2 vendor BPs? OR , is there a standard / better way to display this ?

Dear All

We have been requested by our client to install SAP Fiori I have read the installation guides for the same and our system meets the version requirement for ECC .. and SRM however I have the below queries if some one who has worked  / recently installed could answer for me and let me know ?

From what I understood it only takes care of 3 activities in SRM : Approve , Creation , Tracking of SC please correct me if I am wrong?

1. Is it really worth implementing ? Is there any other alternative of accessing SAP ERP and SRM system through custom Apps on mobile?

2. Is the feature related to approving of SC not the same as approving via email which you can open from mobile ?

3. Any idea on the implementation cost and other relevant details ?

4. If we want to create PO from SRM like in extended classic scenario where we  have the PO in SRM so does that mean we have to also implement FIORI for ERP or will the SRM Fiori takes care of this ?

5.Also lastly how are the users suppose to access from Mobile I did not see any details regarding the same Please can some one share

6. Is it secure in a similar way as the SAP logon systems ?

Please let me know how long would the implementation and Go live take  roughly ?

Regards

Vinita

Hi,

Iam working as SAP SRM ABAP Consultant, we got a requirement in SAP GTM.

In SRM contract will be created and transferred to GTM(ECC) as 2 sided pre trading contract, after release in GTM then it will transfer to OpCO(ECC).

Now the requirement is when purchase price is changed in SRM it is getting transferred to GTM, but from GTM it is not recalculating the sales price to send the sales price to OpCO(ECC).

we need to recalculate the sales price again in GTM so that it can send updated sales price to OpCO(ECC).

Can you please give inputs whether the above requirement can be achieved through WB25. if so can you please provide the brief functionality about WB25.
