Add "Bid Invitation" field to PO create (ME21N)

Hi Gurus,
I have a request to add the 'bid invitation" field (AUSNR) as optional entry to the PO and Requisition during creating. I thought all I had to do is add it to table T162X (I put in position 210) and then configure it as required/optional/display in IMP / MM / Purchasing / Purchase Order / Define Screen Layout at Doc Level, but it is not showing on as an available field on the screens. What steps am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

The 'bid invitation' field AUSNR is in the EKKO table. I am trying to have it come up on the PReqn & PO create and change screens, but have not have any luck. Please help me thru the proper steps.
Thanks, Mike

Sonia Roncero

Hi,
Many thanks for your answer!!
I have done one part via customazing and it already works!!
But I have another problem, I have a CUF for the field " bid_chg_allowed" that I need to set "yes" by default as well. It is included in the structure bbps_bid_ui_header but I don't know where I can find de CUF. Do you think I can use the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI ?
I have tried with BBP_BID_DET_PROCTYPE and I have modify the dynpro 1200 but it doesn't work.
I'm working in SRM 4.0.
Thanks a lot, regards,

Custom field in Create Bid Invitation..

Hi,
I have to add a custome field in the 'Create Bid Invitation - Find bid invitation - Extended Search screen. has anyone done this same scenario.
john.

hi,
I dont think you can add custom field at the item overview level.
There is nothing in standard for CUF in item overview.
CUF are available in Header/item basic data, accounting and search screens, but nothing in item overview.
The only workaround which i can see is to modify the HTML page in the Internet Service .
You can try to use some standard field which stores the information you want to display (instead oc creating a custom field).e.g.If you want to display the Product CAtegory in addition to its description on the item overview screen(Table control),then you will have to find out the std field which stores the Prod category value.
If the standard populates that field with the info you require you'll not have to populate it yourself: so check it.
Be careful to add this column as the last column in the Table control, as the template refers to column numbers for existing data.
Then change the template in order to manage the field display in the different cases (selection and display).
DO NOT COPY STANDARD PROGRAM, or you will loose modification tracking during upgrade or SP applications.
Be careful. The same HTML templates of the Internet Service are (shared) used for all the users. So be very sure in making changes to the standard HTML template and publishing those changes. Incase of shortdumps here, you need to go through each line in the Service to see the cause of the error(which might be as silly as missing a comma, bracket, period after a line). SAP dump analysis is not much help here.

Fill the custom fields of backend PO from bid invitation

Hi all,
From bid invitation I am generating a purchase order. A PO is getting created in the backend. But when I save the PO in the backend it gives an error because a custom field (created in both backend PO and bid invitation) is mandatory for creating a PO is not filled. I have to map the Z field created in bid invitation to the custom field in backend. But in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK there is no information regarding the quotation or bid invitation. Is there any way to get the bid or bid invitation details like bid guid or bid invitation guid or any other field which related the PO to bid in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK?
Regards,
Asha

Hi Sundeep,
This problem looks to be a program error. SAP suggest few notes for the account assignment errors. However i could not found out any relation for this error w.r.t commodity code.
The related OSS notes are as under :
<b>Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end</b>
<b>Note 966323 - Service Item: Not able to create PO in ERP backend</b>
The note 1000184 is more relavent in your case and other related notes are mentioned in that note which may resolve your issue.
Hope this note will definitely come to your help.
Please let us know the outcome for further help.

How to add new fields in the Create Suppport Message Screen

Hi experts,
I have a requirement which is to add 3 selection fields in the Create Support Message Screen. The 3 fields are Category, Subject and Solution. The value of these 3 fields must aurtomaticallly populate the same fields in the Support Message screen in the Solution Manager for each message sent.
Is this functionallity possible? If yes, please give me some ideas how to do it..
Points will be rewarded for helpful answers.

Hi Eric,
Yes it is possible. Use statements SET and GET parameters in your program.
1. Get parameter ID for the fields Category, Subject and Solution from the data element. or Set parameter ID.
2. Use GET Statement in the PBO of the Support Message screen .
GET PARAMETER ID 'XYZ' FIELD <field-name>.
"XYZ is the parameter ID
"<field-name> - field should have the field . not in quots
3. Use SET statemet in the PAI of the Create Support Message Screen or where the value is available for the 3 fields.
SET PARAMETER ID 'XYZ' FIELD <field-name>.
"XYZ is the parameter ID
"<field-name> - field should have the field . not in quots
4. Parameter ID : Double click on the data element of the specified field->Select Further Characteristics TAB -> u can see the parameter ID or U can set the parameter ID there .
It works. Try it.

Various Account Assignment options while creating new Bid Invitation

Dear Guru's,
It seems while creating fresh Bid Invitation there is no option to define the Cost assignment like Cost Center, Asset, Order, Project, Network.
System creates Bid Invitation only for Cost Assignment "CC - Cost Center". Is my understanding correct?
Can any one confirm that Bid Invitation can only be created only for Materials/Services wtih Cost Assignment CC and Direct Material Option?
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.

Thanks Vijay,
We tried that scenarios also, we maintained alternate Account Assignment in Org Structure like AS, CC, NET, OR. These various Cost assignment options are also visible while creating Shopping Cart.
But while creating new Bid Invitation system does not have any provision in Item details to enter the Cost Assignment details like shopping cart.
That is why this question?
We would like to invite bids for Asset, Project, Order and WBS element materials. So that system creates purchase order with respective Account assignment in backend as follow-on documents.
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.

Transfering several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid invitation

Good morning,
We are using Plan driven procurement and bidding with Extended classic
scenario (SRM 5.0).
Indicator IMG sourcing is
"Sourcing via automatic bid invitation for items without a source of
supply"
Is it possible to transfer several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid
invitation?
Thanks in advance.
Alexey

Thanks, i think it is possible whis IMG sourcing indicator:
"Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply"
If a source of supply is not assigned, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a bid invitation from several requirement items. If is unable to do so, this is recorded in the error log of the report.

BID invitation publishing authorisation

Hi,
When we select " Process Bid invitation" in EBP, we have find button through which we can filter the Bid invitations and open the same. But it lists even the Bid invitations which i am not authorised.
For ex.
Bid invitations created by "P1" purchasing group are Bid1, Bid2 & Bid3.
Bid invitations cerated by "P2" purchasing group are Bid 11, Bid12 & Bid13.
P1 purchaser can open the Bid invitations (Bid11,Bid12 & Bid13)created by P2 and can publish. Is there any control in org.structure or it is only through authorisation objects.
There is a selection criteria "My Bid invitations". But it can be used to open only my bid invitations not restricting others to open my bids.
Regards,
Prasanna

go to PFCG
Create a new role for Example ZBR01_EC_BBP_OP_RM1
BR01 is a plant
RM1 is a pruchase group
and go to authorisation and display authorisation data . then go to organisational levels and maintain purchase group , purchase organisation.

Add new customer fields on Basic Data Header of Bid Invitations

Add new fields on Basic Data of Header of BID INVITATIONS and other screens. I found many notices sap that it indicates that I can use badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2, both how does it?
I understand that method MODIFY_MODE_QUOT is due to implement because he is the one that allows to use in way edition the screen. In this method only CV_MODE ='E'.
In which method I assign the structure with the new fields or customer fields?
In where I indicate to him in that screen must add the new fields or customer fields?
I need to implement more methods to add the new fields the headed one of basic data of BID INVITATIONS.

BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE - Bid Invitation Create - External System

There appears to be a SRM function and BAPI that can be used to create Bid invitation programmatically. They are: BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
Questions :
1. Is the BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE used if creating Bid Invitations from an external systems (i.e. ECC 5.0)?
2. If BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is not for this purpose, is BBP_PD_BID_CREATE the correct one to use?
3. For both BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE and BBP_PD_BID_CREATE when creating a Bid Invitation (the GUIDs are not yet created) the Item Long Text structure does not have item number included. It has the Item GUID but during a create you donu2019t know what it is.    Is the following the correct process for using this BAPI/function and if not, please correct?
Create the Bid Invitation:
     1. Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE   (do not provide the item long text or delivery schedule information)
     2. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT
Call the BAPI again with the GUIs returned in the E_ structures to update item long text and delivery schedules:
     3.   Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE    with known GUIs for the items or is there a different function to call for the change to add additional long texts to each item
     4. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT

Requirement has probably long gone and potentially you've resolved the problem but for the benefit of others;
In order to differentiate between Header and Item data within structure I_BID_TEXT you need to use field PARENT_GUID. The value here is not necessarily the parent of the BID Invitation but the parent of the text i.e. header or item.
for example;
I_BID_HEADER_CUST
PARENT_GUID
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C
I_BID_ITEMS
ITEM_GUID.............................................PARENT_GUID......................................ITEM_NUMBER
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C 0000000001
I_BID_TEXT
PARENT_GUID......................................TEXT..TEXT_LINE
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   HTXT   testing bidder text      -> Header Bidder Text
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   testing internal note   -> Header Internal Note
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   Testing internal note -> Item Internal Note

FM: GUID_CREATE (EBP/SRM & ECC) can create the guid for you.

Add line items programatically (Bid invitation)

Hi all,
I've created a bid invitation and would like to add items programatically. Is there a standard method I can use? I started to analyse SAP standard program and try to find
out the functions I can call to do the task... Am I going to the wrong direction?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Franck

Thanks for your quick answer Vadim,
How do you generate the new item guid. Do you know the function module that does that? In debug, I noticed that a simple numeric value is put in the field and it's later translated but I didn't find the function that does the translation.
Regards,
Franck

While creating Bid invitation I need to hide some fields e.g. Attachements, upload a document, description, button Search & Add. These fields are available under tab Header data -> Documents.
BADI 'BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI' works to hide Bid Invitation Basic data, but not for above.
Can anybody let me know how to hide above fields.

Bid Invitation to create a Contract

Hi Guys,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 (Classic Scenario). Our requirement is to create a RFX through the bidding engine only manually. (Not going through sourcing or external requirements).
I am aware that we cannot manually create a bid invitation for indirect materials as we donot have an account assignment object for indirect materials in the bidding engine and this restricts creation of a PO.
Does the same hold good for creation of contracts for indirect materials or we can create contracts from the bidding engine manually without the cost assignment object problem??
Also creation of bids manually for direct materials should not be a problem as it does not need a cost object assignment (only storage location is a mandatory field).
Please confirm !!!!
Does anybody have the best practices used for the live auction and bidding process in SRM??
Thanks
SUNNY

Does anybody have a solution to my problem???
Please let me know
Thanks
Sunny

Queries regarding fields in Bid invitation

Hi,
I am in bid invitation screen -> Header data -> Documents section. If I attach a document I can see the following buttons.
check-out, check-in, check in new version, terminate check-out, edit description, delete, activate.
what purpose does the check-in, check-out & check in new version serve ?? I am bit confused on this...please guide.Also is there any link where I can get info about these fields ?
Regards,
Rajeshree

Hi Rajeshree,
This is a new doc management feature of SRM 5.0.
You can now create versions, lock the document for local modification (check-in/out).
This requires an applet.
You can de-activate it in SPRO.
