Alerts in contract for SRM 7

Experts,
Running on Classic version (SRM 7, ECC6)
Our client wants us to have some kind of an alert management in contracts where in case contract is nearing expiry by date or value an alert is triggered to purchaser.
We dont have XI in our landscape and so can't use central contracts. I have created a central contract in SRM and using Idocs BLOARD and BLAREL distributed it to the backend. The contract is visible in ECC now. But I doubt if this is correct.
Can I have alerts for contracts replicated from ECC to SRM (one time during initial transfer)?
Also suggest some workaround considering my case above.
Best regards,
John

John,
Even I am looking at something similar. We have XI in our landscape but I am also unaware about how central contracts actually work....where the pricing info is picked etc...
Will follow this thread for more.

Nikhil

Alert/Email notification for contract getting expired and threshold limit

Hello All,
For Central Contract management SRM 7.0 we have a requirement where an alert or e-mail notification is to be sent to a group of purchaser if following occurs.
u2022     The validity period of a contract is about to expire
u2022     The greatest possible release quantity will soon be reached
u2022     A new contract has been released
u2022     A purchaser has moved within the organization
u2022     The processing time for a contract has been exceeded
Currently one purchaser is responsible for more than one purchasing group hence whenever a contract reaches it threshold limit a notification mail should be send to a group of Purcahser.
If any one has any one taken care of this type of requirement then please let me know the configuration of how this can be achieved.
Thanks,
Yatin

Hello Massa,
Thanks for the input.
We checked with BBP_ALERTING badi and although the communication type could be changed in debugging mode still the final output is that the system checks for the RML set up in SU01 user profile of the recepient.
For this we took 2 users one with INT setting and other with RML setting.
Contract created with these two user and the expiry date is less than the threshold limit as a result alert got triggered.
In Debugging mode, event ( BBP_EVENTS_DET_RECIPIENTS) for both the user the communicaiton type was coming as blank, we forcefully changed the setting to INT.
But the final result is that the program is checking the SU01 default setting while sending mail, and it send to one user via INT and for other via RML method which should not be the case.
Can you please let me know exactly where I can do the changes, this is really critical for the project as commnunication type change involves a Global change which business people are relecutant to do so.
Thanks,
Yatin

Error in Releasing Contracts in SRM-Error Log for user WF-BATCH

Hi,
When we are releasing contracts in SRM, an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message :
"Recipient not found
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 4530EA86C23B007700000000B0000023 and object_id= 4400000238"(Where 4400000238 is our contract no)
Also our contract is not being transported to CCM even though all the relevant configurations have been done in XI.
Is this because of the error log?? What is the issue??
Any Useful answers would be suitably rewarded..
Regards,
Puneet

Hello Puneet,
Please check whether u have released that contract or not.
if u need to release purchase order from the contract, it needs to be released first.
from ur problme statement, it seems u haven't released that contract.

Addition of result column in SRM 7.0 POWL Report "Contracts for Supplier"

Hi,
We are on SAP SRM 7.0 SP08. There are two POWL reports associated with contracts i.e. "Contract for Supplier" and "Contract for Product". We want to add two fields/columns to the report (Payment Type and Responsible Employee).
As per SAP standards, we appended two structures /SAPSRM/S_SEARCH_RESULT_CTR and /SAPSRM/S_POWL_RESULT_CTR. Feeder type "/SAPSRM/SRM_CTR_H_01" assigned to this report is not maintained in t-code /SAPSRM/POWL_CUST.
Fields are still not displayed as column in the report. Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi Mudit,

If I am understood correct, you have asked to use User ID of Supplier contact which i have taken from theSupplier Contact-> Account management ->Used ID field under directory inofrmation.
I have dounloaded Masteragreement template and tried load the workbook with the data, same error is coming.
Thanks,

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

Additional Tab in Contract Header for SRM 7

Hello,
I have a requirement to add custom tabs into the Contract in SRM 7 (latest version)
So I added custom fields in the header structure via config, the fields are visible in BBP_PDHSC. Also I did add additional tab into the contract using FPM configuration where I have attached the custom webdynpro component to it.
Now the issue is the custom field values doesn't get updated into the system. The CLL layer class /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_BOM_CTR method submit_update doesn't get triggered for the custom fields whereas it gets triggered for standard fields. Also I noticed that the mt_mapper table has the /SAPSRM/WDC_CTR_DODC_H_BD as deactive..
I think I am missing something in my custom component but cannot figure it. Could anyone please help me out with the update of custom fields into teh system..
Thank you..

Hi Arif,
Please follow the steps mentioned in the below link.
Create Additional data tab in Rfx/Response/Contract

SRM 7.0 Central Contract-For Centralized Purchasing Scenario

Hello Experts
Is it possible to set up a corporate (read Centralized) Purchasing strategy, where in One Central purchasing organization creates and manages Central contracts for various Plants assigned to different company codes using SRM 7.0 with ECC Backend?
Tried to set this scenario up by assigning Purchase organization directly to Plants (in ECC) but the Contracts were failing during replication in ECC.
Any inputs on this are appreciated.
Thanks
Raman.
Note: Contracts went through successfully in ECC after assigning the Purchasing organization to Company code.

Hi,
Please check this.
SPRO -> Enterprise structure -> Assignment ->
Logistics - General -> Assign Plant to company code.
Assign plant to company code
In the IMG activity "Assignment Plant - Company Code" you assign each plant to a company code.
A plant can only belong to one company code.
Note
Complete functionality of the system can only be ensured if the plants assigned to a company code are only those situated in the same country as the company code.
It is therefore recommended that you also create a company code for each country in which a plant is situated.
Examples
Only then are tax postings created when transferring stock between plants in different countries.
The taxation procedure and Intrastat declaration are supported only for the country of the company code.
Requirements
Before you can assign plants to company codes, you must define the valuation control.
You may change the valuation control in the production system only after contacting your SAP consultant. Changes may cause inconsistencies in documents.
Actions
Assign your plants to company codes.
Regards,
Masa

Net price zero for SRM service central contract in SAP ECC

Hi
Net price in backend ECC is showing as zero for SRM service central contrracts, all other price fieids are fine expect net prices. We have no issues for material contract.
Does any one had similar issue of net price zero? I have tested this scenrio in couple of SRM 7 landscpape all are with similar behaviour. Is it standard?
Your response is highly appreciated.
Regard
Prashanth K Saralaya

Hi prashant
I never tried service . but you can see this below symptom for you.I extensively worked on Material contracts.
Are you creating contract from Process contract or Via RFQ
Note 1272305 - Total value wrongly calculated in Contract Service lines
Symptom
We create a Service contract in the R/3 Backend from RFQ. During the transfer we calculate the gross price based on the quantity,price and price unit. (ie) The field ESLL-BRTWR is filled with following formula in the idoc processing. ls_e1edc20-BRTWR
= ( is_item-price * is_item-quantity ) / is_item-price_unit.
AS total value of the service lines is calculated based on the field NETWR which is passed as blank from SRM, during recalculation total value when we change the gross price of one of the service lines in r/3, it is required to fill this field
till PI values are brought correctly till posting to ECC. ?
Note 1123292 - Net Price wrongly calculated in plug-in MAP_BLAORD_SERVICES
my experience in GOA
Note:-
2 set stream of DATA comes from SRM as BLOARD and COND_A ..
Even some times when we reprocess failed IDOCS in BD87 in ECC ( comes contract data from SRM as GOA and failed due to some data validation in ECC). now data issue was fixed at Material master level. and
if we forget to reprocess COND_A - BLOARD creates a successfull GOA but net price shows as ZERO for each material and when you post the COND_A data and correct price will be updated in ECC contract. so kindly check price data reaches or not not or price calculation failed in ECC.

Service Breakdown for SRM Contracts

Hi Folks!
We are using SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.0 for Contract Management scenario. We are evaluating options creating Contracts for services. In R/3 I understand that we can maintain the service breakdown while creating the contracts for services.
Is it possible to maintain service breakdown in SRM as well, if no any suggestions or resources that explain how we can map this scenario in SRM.

Amith

Hi Amith,
This functionality is not possible in SRM as of now.
Please refer this note in that regard 505030 even though it is meant for External Requirements as service which may give you a better understanding on this issue.
If you can explain what exactly you want to have in the service contract we could help you further.
Award points for helpful answers.

Creation of backend contract from SRM system?

Dear Experts,
I am bit confused with the scenario of creation of backend contract from SAP SRM system? It says in few cases, based on the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_Logsys', the system creates a backned contract directly in a backend ERP system. Why do we need when we have central contract?
We can meet the same requirement through central contract where we will authorize only purchasing organizations of a backend system and block the contract for local sourcing in SRM?
Secondly, How to find a contract / scheduling agreement created in a backend system when a central contract is distributed to the backend system?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello Ranjan
question on contracts?
Note 1476307 - Importing parameter not filled in BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS
in classic scenario , The Business wanted to create a contract from cockpit or via BID
this BADI helps
Symptom
You have implemented BAdi BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS to control the system in which contract is created in following scenarios:
1. Creation of contract from an accepted quote / bid.
2. Creation of contract from a requisition in SOCO.
In the method IF_EX_BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS~CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE of the BAdi implementation, importing parameter IT_ORG doesnot have any values.
Other terms
Backend contract
Reason and Prerequisites
some business wants to create a backend contract from SRM . see some Dinesh Powale / Claude threads for more understanding.

Contract from srm to SAP R/3

I made a account assigned pr(with cost centre) in SAP R/3, then i transferred it to SRM, and made a bid in SRM, after all I selected one bid and triggered a contract in SRM so that contract gets made in SAP r/3.
Now the contract automatically picks account assignment as "U" while account assignment is mandatory for that material so it does not make a contract and gives error that account assignemnt mandatory for that material.
Basically account assignemnt data is not being picked up when i transfer pr feom R/3 to SRM.
So when I make a contract it also does not get transferred from SRM to R/3.
Pls. help and guide.
Thanks

Hi Nacho.
Sorry the bad news, but account is not transfers from SRM to ECC or from ECC to SRM in contracts.
The Contracts goes between systems via IDOCs (BLAREL)
As you can see in transaction WE60, IDOC BLAREL02 has not account data.

Badi BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSY is activated to define backend system
No IDOC is also generated.
No errors in MOnitor also
Not sure what is message type needs to define & what else is needed
Regards,

HI
Need to do following
1. Keep conidtion types in ECC & SRM same for contract.
2. Also Add message types BLAORD & COND_A manually in ECC in WE20.
Then only it works
