Hi Sandeep,
IMHO, In Order to work in areas like SRM you should have both functional and technical knowledge. How deep depends on your role and access to an environment you can learn.
Say you have good ABAP skills, understand SRM functionality as to 3 implementation scenarios
--> Classic
--> Extended Classic
--> Standalone
What are various configurations?
How different modules/functions work with each other?
Yes i feel a person can manage to learn SRM.
Sorry no idea about the market place.

Hope this helps.

Best Practices in use of ABAP for SRM and/or CRM Configuration

I was wondering if there is a document that defines best practices for the use of ABAP with the installation and customization of SRM and/or CRM. Such as amount of ABAP coding typically required, and best practices around the use of ABAP for customization and configuration.
Thanks.

Java or adobe for existing ABAP dynpro SRM 7.0

Hi All,
I am a SRM/MM functional consultent with limited UI interface knowledge. Currently I am working in SRM 7.0 project. As you know SRM 7.0 UI build on Web dynpro ABAP Floor plan manager and web dynpro ABAP UI has many limitation. My client don't like ABAP web dynpro screen, hence we are planing to build some customer specific UI either in Java or adobe technology to meet the client's requirement. Past few weeks I have done some research on SAP UI technology and reach in following technology. I will appreciate if you can throgh some light in my following finding:
1. Adobe flex: ABAP web dynpro can easily integrated with Adobe flex. As SRM 7.0 UI is in web dynpro ABAP, so we can build the new UI in adobe flex and integrate to the existing web dynpro. Since the business logic is alreay present in the existing web dynpro, we can save time on writing the business logic.
2. Web Dynpro Java: This may take long time compare to Adobe flex development. We need to write the business logic.
Also please let me know if there is any other alternative or any other technology with which I can achive the abouve requirement with less effort and time.
Thanks in advance.

jennifer

Hello Jennifer,
We built a new UI for SRM7 and we used Adobe Flex. The UI is actually a product now and is available for customers. It is fully integrated and provides a very attractive and easy to use experience for the user. Please let me know if you have any interest in learning more about the UI.

Issue on Creating RFx in webdynpro ABAP application - SRM Business Package

Hi
We are in to SRM 7.0 with the same version of Business Package in SAP Portal also.
I am trying to create a RFx from Portal which in turn calls the webdynpro ABAP application (Strategic Purchasing->Strategic Sourcing->Create Documents->RFx)
sap/bc/webdynpro/sapsrm/wda_l_fpm_oif.
This Application has some button called "Tech RFx", "Permissions" etc., When I click on those buttons it throws the error as below :
"There is no iView available for system "SAP_SRM": object "TechResp". For more information, contact your administrator."
Please let me know where we are missing. I have checked all the Portal permissions. Even I can able to access all other iviews except this two buttons.
Any settings or parameters required on webdynpro ABAP side.
Regards,
Raja.J

Dear Raja,
this behavior occurs if the IView com.sap.pct.srm.gp.iv_tech_resp
is not assigned to the role which is assigned to the user.
Please assign this IView to the desired user.
Here are the steps to follow in your systems:
STEP 1: Login to the Portal with Content Admin Authorization.
STEP 2: Navigate to Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP ->
specialist -> SRM7.0 -> Core -> Roles -> Open the desired role and
choose Navigation Folder.
STEP 3: Now navigate to Portal Content -> Content Provided by SAP ->
specialist -> SRM7.0 -> PPS -> iViews -> Tendering -> Select Tech
Responses (Technical name is iView com.sap.pct.srm.gp.iv_tech_resp) and
right click and choose 'Add iView to Role' -> Delta Link and save.
STEP 4: Log off and login with the user and check the issue.
Best regards,
Tamas

Is SRM ABAP Programming special?

Hi,
in a few days I'm starting in a SRM project for the first time... I'd like to know if any of you could tell whether there's a guide, manual or wathever about how programming ABAP in SRM -I mean special situations like those in CRM, where most programming is based onto activities and Function Modules which work onto them.
If so, could you pass the link to that info -if it's available.
Best Regard.

Hi ,
There is not much difference when you are programming with SRM. All you just need to know the list of badi's( Busincess Add in's). If you get these details then there is not much difference.... Example: For validaiton purpose there is badi called 'BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI'. Here all the validations done for the respective business objects (SC,PO,Confirmtaion).
Search the forum for more info

SRM XI standard content ...SRM Server 7.0 - Outbound proxy not working

Hello All,
we have integrated SRM SUS with ECC 6.0 using XI standard content XI SRMSERVER IC 7.0. With same configuration, Purchase Order has been send from ECC to SUS and PO is created successfully in SRM SUS. But, while confirming the purchase order, its not generating outbound proxy message.
And when we check the interface PurchaseOrderConfirmation_Out(i.e dobule clicking) in SPROXY transaction of SRM SUS, getting the following LOG:
1. Logical port template is inconsistent, regenerate it and activate it
2. cannot create LPT without DT profiles
3. Regernate proxy(inactive version incorrect)
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Regards,
Sreenivas.

Hello Srinivas,
1.Check your Port creation from ECC to XI 2 SRM.
2. Activate your proxies properly and check whethar your proxy communication working properly or not.

Live Auction's jCO RFC connection to SRM is NOT successful.

hi to all,
can any one help me about the configuration of RFC of live auction cockpit?
i have followed the inst guide, but i always keep getting this message.
RFC Error using locale en
RFC Error using locale ja
RFC Error using locale de
Your RFC connection between Live Auction and SRM has failed. Please verify the following:
Did you configure your SRM jCO setting (eg: jco.client.ashost, jco.client.sysnr etc) in Live Auction's properties?
Is the user specified in jco.client.user property exist in SRM with the correct role and password ? Please change the user to type dialog and try to logon via SAPGUI before changing it to communication user to ensure the user is NOT locked.
Did your SRM R3 has the code page installed that are specified in jco.client.lang ?
Please check the J2EE engine's log file to see more details of the error. Please refer to J2EE's documentation on how to view the log files.
thanks in advance

Hi Ranin,
Have you checked the note 1593439 where it mentions:
If you are using Live Auction JAVA, you would additionally be required
to assign the Authority object S_RFC to the RFC user being used for
establishing a JCO connection between LACWPS JAVA Server and the SRM
ABAP backend system with the following values. This authority is not
needed in case you are using Live Auction on ABAP in SRM 7.0 Enhancement
Pack 1 (SAP SRM 7.01) or higher release.
       Object            Field                Value
       S_RFC             ACTVT                16
                         RFC_NAME             BBP_LA_BIZAPI
                         RFC_TYPE             FUGR
Perhaps this is the problem?

Hi,
Probably you may need to define some workflow for the same. With the help of your ABAPER you can do it.

Federation, remote role assignment based on ABAP roles on producer

Hi all,
We have implemented the federated portal solution for our ESS users. We use the ABAP stack of the producer portal as user store for consumer and have no problems in assigning portal roles on our consumer based on ABAP roles in the backend (displayed as groups in the portal).
Now we want to add some extra functionality (eg SRM and eRec) and we encounter some problems. These systems all have their own ABAP stack as user store. We have maintained the functional authorization model in the ABAP roles for instance in SRM. So an example:
System I: ABAP + JAVA --> ECC 6.0
Here we have the standard R/3 functionality and the producer portal (A) installed. Roles created on producer portal and assigned based on ABAP roles.
System II: JAVA --> NW 7.0 Portal
Our consumer portal (B) where we use roles created on the producer portal (A) on System I.
System III: ABAP + JAVA --> SRM
Our SRM system with SRM producer portal (C). In the ABAP stack of this sytem the functional SRM roles have been assigned to the users. We have created functional SRM Portal roles in order to use remote role assignment on consumer portal (B).
+PROBLEM+
We want to remotely assign portal roles created on the SRM Producer (C) to users on the consumer portal (B), based on the ABAP role assignment in the backend of system III. How can we achieve this in a fast and efficient way?
Looking forward to your ideas. Anything helpfull will be gladly awarded with SDN points.
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Jan,
Interesting question. Let me share my experience and hope that's of some use to you.
We started off federating corporate NetWeaver Portal (lets say B, parallel to your convention) as consumers to BI Portals (Lets say A).
- B's UME points to Active Directory
- A's UME points to BI ABAP user store
- User ids are identical in both systems
We ran into the problem of dual administration ((de)assigning portal role on both portals instead of just one) for a long time. The issue was because of different reasons at different times as we patched B's and A's. At one point we were on SP15 on both portals and we were told by SAP that RRA can be done on B for remote roles and the assignment propagates to A automatically if the following configuration is set up on both A and B.
- A's permissions are relaxed allowing "Everyone" group checked for "End User" access as per ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/2236fc0b413fe1e10000000a11466f/content.htm]
However, we chose not to do the permission relaxation as enabling "Everyone" group with "End User" access can allow anyone to launch an iView (if the URL is known somehow) and the user would be able to see the layout of the iView, which can include text, etc. The user won't be able to access any data though, however, there is certain compromise on security which we decided that its not okay. So, we digressed in SAP's suggested practice because of security reasons.
Today we, manage security on B using Active Directory groups and on A using Java groups (ABAP roles).
In your case, I suggest investigating the option of relaxing the security on producer portal like in the above link. If you think its okay, all you have to do is, provision users on B by assigning remote roles from C and A.
Either my story is applicable or I must have got you totally wrong,
Kiran

SRM 7 technical challenges while coding

Hi Gurus,
Could you all please share the technical challenges of coding in ABAP in SRM 7. What are the differences or challenges while coding between srm 5 and 7. Please share I would like to have the inputs.

Hello,
Till SRM5.0, SRM Application developer should know JAVA and ABAP to code or to enhance functionalities in SRM. But in SRM7.0, the entire enhancements can be accomplished by using ABAP. All he/she has to know is ABAP and ABAP WebDynrpo and the SRM 7.0 Architecture.
Hope this will help you.
