Assigning Lower Level Contract(s) to Master Contract

I've looked all around here and can not find the answer.
So I have a Master Contract (type GK). Now I want to create other Contracts and have them displayed as lower levels in the Master Contract.
If I create a new Contract, and enter the Master contract number in the header, I receive the error "Referenced document is not a group master contract"
Ultimately I want to create numerous contracts referencing the Master, so I can view them all under teh Master Contract. I do not simply want to create with reference and use doc flow.
Anybody ?

Hi PLs refer below steps
Creating Master Contracts
1. In the initial screen, choose Logistics -->Sales and distribution -->Sales.
2.Choose Contract -->Create.
3.In the Contract field, choose the contract type Master contract (GK is the master contract type in the standard system) and, if necessary, the organizational data.
The values for sales organization, distribution channel, and division may be proposed from the user parameters. Entries for the sales office and sales group are optional.
4.Choose Enter.
5. Enter the number of the sold-to party in the Sold-to party field.
6. Choose Enter.
7. Check the data on the following screens and, if necessary, enter additional data:
Business data
Partner
Contract data
Billing plan
Linking a Contract to a Master Contract
On the initial screen, choose Logistics ->Sales and distribution ->Sales.Choose Outline agreement ->Contract ->Create.
You can also link existing contracts to master contracts. In this case, choose Outline agreement ->Contract ->Change. Then enter the contract number and go to step 6.
Enter the contract type and, if necessary, the organizational data.
The values for sales organization, distribution channel, and division may be proposed from the user parameters. Entries for the sales office and the sales group are optional.
Choose Enter.
If you have activated the check for existing master contracts in Customizing and master contracts already exist for the customer, a dialog box appears. You can branch from the dialog box into the list of master contracts and select a suitable master contract from the list by placing the cursor on the master contract and choosing Copy.
If no dialog box appears, you reach the contract overview screen. Either enter a master contract number or search for a suitable master contract using a matchcode.
Choose Enter.
The system determines whether the reference is valid by checking that
u2013 The contract type can refer to the master contract type
u2013 The identical fields match
If the reference is valid, the system copies the data from the master contract into the contract according to the referencing procedure assigned to the master contract.
If the reference is not valid, the system issues an error message. If the identical fields do not match, it deletes the number in the Master contract field. In this case, either enter a suitable master contract number or check the settings in the Customizing activity Define Referencing Requirements.
Enter any other data you require.
The referencing procedure in the master contract controls whether you can change the data which was copied from the master contract.

Assigning lower level contract

hi all,
I created a master contract and now I want to assign a lower level contract to it but it receive this message:" Contract data cannot be edited for document type CQ". I have already completed the customizing of VORB ( I assign CQ to GK here) but still I receive this error and system do not let me to link the lower contract to the master contract with GK type. Also I have read all appropriate links in scn and sap helps and those links was not helpful for my case. Any suggestion in this case will be really appreciated.
regards,
Nooshin

Go to VOV8, select that contract type and execute. There check what is maintained for the field "Message: Master Contract". It should be blank.

What is use of work flow in master contracts

Dear sd experts
i know configuration of Master contracts But thing is i would like to know why We have to Configure work flow in Master contracts with Work flow consultant ?
i have not traced any thing in the google please help me
thanks a lot

Hi,
Here is the explanation from the workflow help page.
"Changing the master contract triggers a workflow that accesses the assigned lower level contracts and automatically copies the changes to the lower level contract. If an error occurs, a work item appears in the inbox of the person who changed the master contract, who has to process it manually. A separate window displays all the changes that have been made for information purposes."

Dear Rajesh,
A MASTER CONTRACT consists of other contracts that are grouped as
lower level contracts. Thus, the master contract has the general
data that is relevant for all lower level contracts over a specified
period. Contracts are groups in order to ensure that all data in the
lower level contracts remain consistent and that granted in the
master contract are copied into the lower level contracts.

hi,
A master contract contains header data only. In the master contract, you can record:
Business data
Partner data
Contract data
Billing plan data
On the overview screen of the master contract, there is a list of all the lower level contracts which refer to it. You can branch from this list into the individual contracts.
The master contract is a document under which you can group contracts as lower level contracts. It contains the general terms which apply for all the lower level contracts over a specified period.
You group contracts as lower level contracts under a master contract to ensure that
The terms in the master contract are granted in all the lower level contracts

Save the document.
Result
The system issues a message informing you of the number under which it has saved the contract. The contract is linked to the master contract. The referencing procedure in the master contract controls how the system reacts when changes are made to either the master or lower level contract.
Once a contract has been linked to a master contract, you can no longer change the referencing procedure in the master contract.

How create to master contracts for each new sold to party

Hey SAP geeks,
I have a scenario, in which I need to create a maitenance contract based on support items in a billing document. The system should create a master contract for a particular sold to party if that sold to party has ordered support for the first time.(system should first search whether any master contracts exist for this particualr sold to and then create one if there arent any already created.) After the master contract is automatically created ,the system should create maintenance contracts based upon the support items in the billing document and then assign this contract to the master contract for that particualr sold to party. Is this possible? Can you tell me how we can do this? Points will be awarded. I guess this requires lot of ABAP programming. but it would be great if some help is provided.
Thanks.
Naveen

Dear Hanumant,
As per my view,,
You can use one time customer functionality to full fill your requirement.
When you create sales order with one time customer system take you to the customer data maintanence screen through that you can maintain the one time customer data.
Same one time customer number you can use for every new order through maintaining different data.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

How to Link Master Contract with other contracts

hi,
         i am really getting hard time to link master contract with other contracts.i have already created master,quantity,value,material value contracts already.
thanks
bharat

hi,
below is the path to assign the lowr level contracts to master contracts
step1: IMG--Sales and distribution salessales documentscontractsmaster contracts---define referencing requirements
1.define reference sales document type: here lower level contracts are assigned to master contracts
2.define referencing procedures: here filelds are categorized into 3 parts
1.Identical fields: a master contract can only be referenced by a contract if the fields in the master contract and low level contracts matches
2.Copy fields: the values of these fields are copied from master contract into lower level contract .deviating values in the lower level contracts are not allowed
3. proposal fields: like copying fields are be over written
choose the standard reference procedure SDGK and copy it and rename it (ZSDK)
Select our procedure
click on fields control button under dialog structure
go to new entries and maintain entries in the table like below
table   field name        partner function      copy rule   message
VBAK          AUGRU                                            C
VBKD          INC01                                               B
VBPA          KUNNR                    SP                    A
VEDA          VLAUFZ                                            A
copying rule: A-check for agreement
                   B-always copy
                   C-copy only if AGree
SAve it and exit
Step2: go to transaction code VOV8 of GK
sd document category=0
screen sequence group=GK(Master contract)
transaction group=4
document pricing procedure=V
contract profile=001
group referencing procedure-ZDSK
contract data allowed=X
Check update low level contract
SAve it
Step 3: go to transaction code VA41
Specify document type=gk
specify the sold to party number
specify the description
specify contract start date=01
specify the end date=10
save it and note down the master contract number
Again go to VA41 and raise quantity contract
specify description
specify contract start date and end date (like master contract validity periods)
and assign Master contract number that was created in the previous step
Save it and exit
Go it VA41 of the master contract and check qty contract has been assigned or not
reward points if the answer is helpful

Local contract for service master doesn't picked in PDP

Dear Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 and in using PDP Scenario. Having created a local contract for service master which is released and acting as a source of supply when creating the shopping cart for the service master, however when purchase requisition is being transferred to the SRM system agains the same service master the shopping cart in available in the sourcing cockpit instead of picking the existing contract. Set the option as "sourcing carried without source of supply" , however this scenario works well for material master but not for service master, please advise me on this fix or any limitation in this version.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkata Koppisetti.

Wrong assignment of P org with P grp is the route cause, found the error and rectified which is working fine.
Thanks and Regards,

How to find the header and item level status of a CRM contract ?

Hi,
Few questions
A. How to find the header and item level status of a CRM contract ? My req is to select all the contract line items which are in CLOSED status.
B. How to get the BPs associated with a contract ?
Anyone have the list of CRM tables and the relation amongst them. Please mail me in [email protected]

CRMD_ORDERADM_H     Contains the Header Information for a Business Transaction.
Note:
1.     It doesnt store the Business Partner
       responsible for the transaction. To
       get the Partner No, link it with
       CRM_ORDER_INDEX.
2.     This table can be used for search
       based on the Object Id(Business
       Transaction No).
CRMD_CUSTOMER_H     Additional Site Details at the Header Level of a Business Transaction
CRMD_LINK     Transaction GUID set for all the Business Transactions
CRMD_ORDER_INDEX     Contains Header as well as Item details for a Business Transaction.
Note:
1.     It doesnt store the Business
      Transaction No (Object ID).
      To get the Business Transaction No
      link the table with
      CRMD_ORDERADM_H
2.   This table can be used for search
      based on the Partner No
CRMD_ORDERADM_I     Stores the Item information for a Business Transaction. The scenarios where we have a Contract Header and within contract we have Line Items for the contract, this table can be useful.
E.g. Service Contracts
CRMD_CUSTOMER_I     Additional Site Details at the Item Level of a Service Contract

Customizing Master Contract Management - SAP Banking 6.0

Hello,
i am customizing the Master Contract Management in Banking 6.0 - especially the Effective Cash Pooling Feature.
On defining the restriction rules i have a problem:
How do i define the methods and the rule-id's for Cash Pooling.
Where is the connection between the methods and the rule-id's ?
The SAP documentation is very unclear in this special topic.
Tnx

From a technical point of view, there's no interdependency between ABAP <-> Java regarding the functionality of the system. This means in you can install/uninstall (or have/don't have) them apart that each components/transactions will work w/o problems. However, you should check with Application about potentially limitations/problems on this matter.
I hope this information clarifies.

Unable to Map Contract Catalog to Master Catalog

Hello,
We currently use CCM 2.0 with SRM version 5.
Our issue is that when items are added to a contract catalogue and released, the contract releases successfully but errors appear in the upload logs advising u2018It is not possible to retrieve the data types for catalog **********. Catalog update was terminatedu2019.
The contract catalog then has a red light against so we are unable to map the contract to the Master Catalog.
The issue appears to be intermittent as we have had some go through successfully.
I have checked the following:
SXMB_MONI u2013 shows as successfully processed
SLG1 u2013 shows no errors
/CCM/D_CTLG_REQ u2013 there is no entry in the req_sender field
/CCM/D_UPD_STATE u2013 the status is 02 u2013 completed with errors.
Iu2019ve seen a similar issue posted with the advice to run /CCM/CLEANUP_DIS_PERSISTENCY, however I havenu2019t ran this before and would like some advice on the impacts of doing so before I run it in our Production environment.
Can anyone provide some information on why this issue could be occurring and what I can do to resolve the issue?
Many Thanks
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Such an error normally means the catalog is corrupted, you can run the cleanup_dis_persistency report in the hope that it can repair the links but it is doubtful, it is more likely that you will have to delete this contract catalog and then re transfer the contract to CCM again before mapping to the master.

Jason

Hide items relevant information for the master contract

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to hide item relevant information like Item number /product /product description and product category etc.. on the general tab page for the transaction type master contract .
Could you please help me to solve my problem
Thanks and Regards,
Sai

Hi
By setting the indicator to 'X' for the information type 01 (Master data changes) in the IMG path Financial Accounting --> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable --> Business Transactions --> Submit to Collection Agency --> Specifications for Forwarding Information to Collection Agencies.
The system now records the entries in table DFKKCOLL_CH and gets captured in the update information file to collection agency. The system internally calls the function module FKK_GET_DATA_FOR_COLL_AGENCY which does the insertion of entries into table DFKKCOLL_CH.
Also refer to SAP note 1592532 for more information.
Thanks,
Sakthi.
