Customization to "Carry Out Sourcing" & "Process Purchase Order" Screens

Hi, we are using SRM 4.0 and wondering if following screen customizations are possible
<b>Carry Out Sourcing queue</b>
Is it possible to use some of the existing Fields/Area to show key information within the queue that are important to Buyers such as Total PR Value, Required Date, Comment Field (for Buyer to write notes or status)? The fields Category and Quantity are not that important to us than the other fields mentioned above.
<b>Process Purchase Order queue</b>
Is it possible to use some of the existing Fields/Area to show key information within the queue such as Requestor Name, Required Date, Comment Field (for Buyer to write notes/status)? These are more important to us than the Purchasing Org. and Purchasing Group fields.
The above requested fields will tremendously help the Buyer in managing the queue by making it easier to assign low value orders; by enbaling other Buyer/s to view cart status when covering for someone without drilling down per requisition/line. The comment field within the queue will help to immediately show why the order is on hold, etc.
I would be interested to know as well if you have any suggestions on how we can assign low value orders to junior buyers faster and more efficiently and if there is an automated way to do it.

Thanks - Here is the quick clarification. We are not using Sourcing Cockpit (eSourcing, Bidding) functionality in SRM. By "Carry Out Sourcing", I meant the area where Buyers look for workload and add approved requisitions to their work area. That is the screen we are trying to customize. Is there a template for that as well and is it easy to customize without breaking the code.
Also please advice on customizing "Process Purchase Order" screen.
Lastly, is there an option to autoamtically assign the Approved Shopping Cart to a Buyer based on the dollar amount?
Thanks in advance;
A

  • Disabling the cost distribution button on the Process Purchase Order Screen

    This is probably a simple question, but we have been unable to find the place to disable cost distribution on the SRM Process Purchase Order screen for limit orders ONLY.  Basically, we just want this functionality to not be available to users.  Can anyone direct us to the correct configuration for this?  Or do we need to edit the BADI?
    Thanks  in Advance!

    Hello,
    You can hide this field by creating a screen variant through SHD0 transaction. I have tested here and I
    could hide it (GV_DIST_IND in Program SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC screen 1000).    
    In the screen variant you should mark the output of GV_DIST_IND field.
    However, this option would hide this button for all documents.
    Kind regards,

  • Approved SHC not appearing in carry out sourcing

    HI SRM Gurus,
    In SRM Web, after the creation and apporval of shopping cart, the buyer checked the items in carry out sourcing (professional purchaser- Sourcing- carry out sourcing). In find tab, seacrh using extended seacrh and then filling out the shopping cart number. The items should show under requirements, but in our case the system did not behave normally as expected because only one of the three items appeared.
    I have checked the items using transaction code: BBP_PD then in the table, the sourcing status is "Y" and not "X". Wherein "X" is the ideal status before doing sourcing.
    In our company business process is:
    1. create Shopping cart (requisitioner)
    2. Approval (approvers)
    3. Carry out sourcing (to bid invitation-rfi) (buyer)- were some items in shopping cart did not show
    4. Process bid invitation (buyer)
    5. Vendor quation (buyer)
    6. so forth....
    please help. What are the possible causes of this error and solution. Please
    thanks in advance!

    2. Could you please reproduce in your system :" when you create another
    SC with item 2 ,3 , after approving , the Source_rel_ind is set
    automatic as "Y"" with the screenshot of each step?

  • Delete button in process purchase order

    Hi All,
    I need some informaiton on the "Delete" button in process purchase order screen.
    Has it been enabled only for held POs? It is disabled in case of ordered POs. Can we enable it for ordered POs?
    Also, I put an ordered PO on hold and after that I could see the delete button enabled in PO. When I delete it, it is giving me the message "Your order was deleted". But still I could able to see the Po in the system.
    Is there a note or SAP help describing this? Plz help.
    Thanks,
    ss

    Once the PO is published, you cannot delete it. If you have created a change version for the published PO, you can delete the change version but not already published PO.

  • Prevent changes to ship-to and vendor address in Process Purchase Orders

    Hi SRM experts,
    I have recently used BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI to affect the displays of fields and buttons in the shopping cart. I now need to change the displayed fields in the Process Purchase Order screens (Vendor Address and Ship-To address) to prevent edit. I've debugged in method BBP_PO_UI_CTRL and see screens 1000, 2200... 3000 etc. but can't see the screens and fields I need to affect. I suspect that I might be at the limitation of using the BADI or am I looking in the wrong place?
    Can anyone help?

    Hey,
    i believe you have filter for shopping cart (BUS2121) in BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI. you need to do a seperate implementation for PO (BUS2201), Which should/must work for your requirement.
    Cheers, Renga

  • Material Column invisible in Purchase Order Screen after Upgrade

    Hi Freinds,
    Subject: MEPO1211-EMATN field invisible in Purchase Order (ME21N)
    We are doing an SAP Technical upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC6.0. The 4.6C developement box is upgraded to ECC6.0. I found that the Material Column is missing from the Purchase Order Item.
    In the right side of item screen, we can see the configuration icon. I have checked that configuration icon - Administrator - MEPO1211-EMATN - field is enabled in the invisible column.
    I tried all the possible ways to disable the tick mark. still problems persists.
    please let me know how to disable the tick mark (MEPO1211-EMATN)
    Thanks
    Ashok

    i have entered the test1 as variant, current setting automatically changed to test1.
    then i have clicked the administrator, disabled the tick mark for the material (MEPO1211-EMATN), i have activated and included in the new transport request, closed that subscreen and saved the variant.
    I have come out of the purchase order screen and entered the Purchase order screen again. still the material number column is invisible.
    Thanks

  • The default value of purchasing group in "carry out Sourcing "

    Dear , expert :
         I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS!
       I have two questions about the screen of    "carry out Sourcing ":
    1,How can set the default value of purchasing group ?Now the default is empty .
    2.The purchaser can select many purchaser group here ,I want to know what controls this .in the group responsibility ?
    Thanks!

    Hi Alex
    If there are more purchase group responsible for one product category. the end user (requestor) can select which purchase group before he order a cart.
    so that sc goes to respective purchaser cockpit  in the sc ?
    if you have only one purchase group responsible . no probem
    or
    redistribute workload
    you can distribute your cart to another purchaser
    for eg. initailly ALEX is purchase group in the sc.
    now you can transfer MASA purchase group  via redistribution workload
    so now the sc shows in the MASA cockpit with new purchase group as MASA instead of ALEX purchase group name

  • Document contains no items - Carry Out Sourcing From External Requirements

    Hello Experts,
    I have a problem in carrying-out sourcing in SRM 701 with external requirements come from ECC 6.0
    I want to process the requirements into purchase order, everything is OK because I see the line item of requirement is there. But when I check the document, this error occurs
    Back-End Error:Document contains no items
    Back-End Error:Please enter items first
    It seems SRM didn't bring the item displayed to the back-end so it keeps sending error message.
    How could that happen when I can see the document clearly contains item?
    Appreciate all the answers
    Regards,
    Ted

    Hi Dinesh / Pradeep
    Could you get a fix to this issue, we are facing the same error after we have successfully distributed the SRM Central Contract to ECC and then trying to fullfil the MRP generated PR that we used for sourcing
    We are in the classic scenario and in the classic scenario, we cannot create a Purchase ORder in ECC from SRM, it only creates local SRM PO
    Hence we are doing the following process steps for PDP with PM scenario
    1) MRP Run
    2) Push the PR as a Shopping Cart to SRM
    3) Select the Shopping Cart and create RFx
    4) Publish the RFx and Award the Vendor with the SRM Central Contract
    5) Distribute the SRM Central Contract to a ECC contract
    6) Use ME57 to turn the MRP PR to a ECC PO by assigning the Distributed backend contract as a source of supply in ECC
    We are failing step 6
    Your answer was below, but it did not end in a resolutuoin
    Please let me know the resolution to this step
    Regards
    Tridip
    Your earlier unfinished answer
    " How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req. "
    - this message is due to standard config we do in ECC for matl grp & pur grp for PR transfer in table T160EX
    ECC books the combo of matl grp & pgrp for external system (SRM) and will not allow to process the PR in it.
    a procurement profile is allotted in EBAN.
    Don't think you can change the message type to Warning or info.

  • Find tab in the Carry out sourcing

    Hi experts,
    I'm working with the SRM Bidding Engine. In the Find tab in the Carry out sourcing menu there are two bottons:
    a) Add to work area
    b) Assign to me
    Could you please explain what is the difference between these two options?
    Thanks in advanced!!!
    Mar

    Hi Mar,
    both buttons support two different things:
    Add to work area needs to be pushed by everybody who wants to process a SC.
    Everybody with the authorizations can put a visibile SC into his/her work area
    and process the shopping cart; with the information given within the SC, like the
    Purchasing Group.
    Assign to me only changes the Purchasing Group (new screen follows), but does
    not move the SC into the workarea for processing. It is only an assignment change,
    to enable the assignment to a different purchaser and therefore enable the
    SC to be visible to that purchaser.
    Thanks,
    Claudia

  • In SRM Portal, while doing carry out sourcing, unable to select "Create Draft" Button Choice.

    Hi,
    In SRM Portal, while doing carry out sourcing, we are unable to select option "CREATE DRAFT"  Button choice. We have two users, one with standard role "/SAPSRM/ST_PURCHASER - SAP SRM: Strategic Purchaser" for whom Create draft is working fine. Another user who has the custom copied version of this role is not able to Create Draft since the button choice option is not opening for him.
    Web dynpro component - /SAPSRM/WDC_DO_SOCO_GAF_2
    View                            -  V_AO_SOCO_GAF_2
    Could you please help me to locate the code where this button choice is populated? What are the parameters that need to be checked in Roles to identify the reason for this wrong behaviour with custom role?
    Regards,
    Jeena

    Hi,
    Check entries in SM30 --> /SAPSRM/V_SOCO but, there should not be any issues here, as you are telling that it is working for Standard Role.
    Please overwrite the Z role one more time, and ensure that you have given proper authorization in the Org Level of the Role and regenerate the profile. It should work.

  • Process purchase orders

    Hi all,
    our's is extended classic scenario,  one user is trying the open the PO through process purchase orders option, he entered the po number and then clicked on find. He is getting the message " no documents avail for search criteria".
    Here the PO is exist and carte is created by that user only. Then why he is not getting the po details.
    Please explain what might the cause for this?
    regards,
    Krish

    Hi
    One user raised this issue, when he tried to process the po she is not getting the po details,
    After analysis, that particular user is moved to new organisation id from his previous one.
    Normally whenever user moved to new org id then all his attributes will changes, in this case system will not allow him to do any changes in PO's which are created when he is in previous org id.
    I don't know about your case, process PO is possible only for the po's created by you not possible for po's created by other users.

  • Status Change for Purchase order in Process Purchase order

    Hi All,
    We have implemented SRM 4.0 with Extended Classic scenario.
    SRM does provide standard status for Process Purchase order worklist (such as Ordered, Held, Error in Process etc.). Is there any BADI i can use to overright my own status message for the PO.
    To give brief background of the requirement. Client wanted status to be changed to "Cancel" For POs whose all the line items we have deleted or "Close" when Last delivery or Final Invoice check is ticked.
    I am aware that i can use BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI as structure BBP_PDS_ITEM i can get items deletion indicator. But will i able to change the standard Status message?
    Presently even though all line items marked delete still shows PO as "Ordered" status.
    Kindly let me know if i can acheive with anyway.
    Thank you
    Ritesh

    Hi Masa,
    Thank you for your response. I have few doubts about the configuration which you have suggested.
    - Define Status schema for User status will create a status Profile in which i have to include my own status. In the document of Define Status Schema it specifies that After creating User profile you have to assign same profile to transaction types. (I.e. BUS2201 or BUS2121 etc).
    My concern is will my own status profile over-write the standard status which is coming? such as Ordered, Created, Transmission fail etc.
    If so then do i have to create status profile to include all the Standard Status message in it as well?
    - Other thing i found that Ordering PO goes through many standard status message (COMP, CRTD, CTRA, DCOM, ORDR) and always the last status in the Hearder will display on  ITS level. Is my understanding right?
    - I found that there is a standard system status message I1045 (BECN Cancel) Can i use this through BADI?
    Kindly let me know.
    Thank you once again.
    Regards
    Ritesh
