Automatic creation of contract in SAP ECC from ESO

Hello Experts,
We are installing SAP ESO 5.1, with integration package, linked to a SAP ERP 5.0 system.
With the out-of-the box integration package, it is possible to create an outline agreement (contract) from an ESO Master Agreement / Agreement by selecting Scripts -> Publish to ERP from the toolbar (this can only be done if the Master Agreement is in a "saved" state). This is a manual process.
My question is: is it possible to automatically execute this script by means of Workflow?
The goal would be for E-Sourcing to always create a contract in the SAP ECC backend system from a completed ESO Master Agreement. I believe this can be achieved by executing a script at the "saved" event?
I'll appreciate your feedback on this approach, or any other solutions you might have implemented with customers to reach a solution to a similar requirement.
Thanks!
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto
I would not suggest "Publish to ERP " to me made a post save script as contract managers/ buyers might "save" a draft version of the master agreement which might still need some validation. Also since a word contract is not in place at this point in time, there might be changes later on which could make the situation rather messy.
In case you are going for approval workflows in phase definition of contract, you can use "Publish to ERP " as a postscript for workflow when contract finally is moved to executed phase but again would support Howie here that it should remain a manual process since a lot of validations would be required.
A lot depends on business on what they consider to be the culimination of CLM cycle. Few would like to start transactions through oultine agreement before actual contract is signed to speed up the process while many would like to wait for the actual signed document to be in place before starting transactional procurement.

Creation of WBSE in SAP-PS from all Phase of Project from cProjects

Hi,
Need suggestion for the automatic creation of WBSE in SAP-PS from each phase of Projects from cProjects i.e. multi level controlling scenario
I have done the required configuration of Define Controlling Scenario where for the project type, controlling method has given (Multilevel Controlling (Structure Element, Automatic).
But in my case only one WBSE is getting created for all phse s & project defintion of project in cProjects.
Request you to suggest me on this issue.
Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Vetrivel,
Thanks for your prompt response. These are settings made for multi level controlling scenarios.
1. Project Type:
Accounting Intergation-accounting integration in my SAP ERP, as of relese of the project
2. Define Object Links for Accounting Integration
- 0FIN_INT_ERP_PS Single-Obj. Controlling on WBS Elements
- Search Fields OLR3_TS_PRPS_SHLP
- Proxy Class CL_DPR_OLR3_WBSELEMENT

Reservations creation with customer fields in ECC from SRM does not work?

Hi,
I have to create reservations into backend system (ECC) from shopping cart creation in SRM 7.0.
Reservation items contiain two customer fields.
RESB is extended by adding an append structure that contains an include with the data structure of the two customer-specific fields.
When reservation is created by BAPI_RESERVATION_CREATE1 function in ECC customer fields are filled.
In SRM I use FILL_RS_INTERFACE1 method of BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RS_NEW.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM and then approved a reservation is created in ECC but customer fields are empty.
Why?
Thank you for your collaboration.
Best regards.

in classic there may not be any issue since while creating a PO partner function automatically determined correctly int he ECC purchase order .
In SRM , we might pulled only VN vendors.
this could be one of the grey area in SRM Extended classic mode.
check with SAP and update SAP comments / suggection here.
Are PI (invoice party) and VN ( real supplier) vendor number ranges same?
Are many vendor VN and PI different?
Note 1022311 - SRM Integration: Partner at purchase order item level
In Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), you can maintain partners at item level. During the replication into the ECC back end, this partner information is no longer available because there are no partners for the document item in the ECC back end.

Creation of Goods receipt in ECC from legacy system

Hi
I hae to design a synchronous scenario for legacy system to sap ECC for creation of Goods receipt in ECC , pl help which method RFC/BApi , or proxy shall be the best method , keeping in mind the performance .

Hi,
When ever we are dealing with the SAP Systems we have the choice of 3 options to go with
1) IDOC--When ever we have the standard IDOC and the process is Async
2) RFC/BAPI-----When ever we have the standard BAPI and the process is Sync
3) Proxy----When ever we are dealing with large amount of data and the process may be Sync or Async

Data load into SAP ECC from Non SAP system

Hi Experts,
I am very new to BODS and I have want to load historical data from non SAP source system into SAP R/3 tables like VBAK,VBAP using BODS, Can you please provide steps/documents or guidelines on how to achieve this.
Regards,
Monil

Hi
In order to load into SAP you have the following options
1. Use IDocs. There are several standard IDocs in ECC for specific objects (MATMAS for materials, DEBMAS for customers, etc., ) You can generate and send IDocs as messages to the SAP Target using BODS.
2. Use LSMW programs to load into SAP Target. These programs will require input files generated in specific layouts generated using BODS.
3. Direct Input - The direct input method is to write ABAP programs targetting on specific tables. This approach is very complex and hence a lot of thought process needs to be applied.
The OSS Notes supplied in previous messages are all excellent guidance to steer you in the right direction on the choice of load, etc.,
However, the data load into SAP needs to be object specific. So targetting merely the sales tables will not help as the sales document data held in VBAK and VBAP tables you mentioned are related to Articles. These tables will hold sales document data for already created articles. So if you want to specifically target these tables, then you may need to prepare an LSMW program for the purpose.
To answer your question on whether it is possible to load objects like Materials, customers, vendors etc using BODS, it is yes you can.
Below is a standard list of IDocs that you can use for this purpose to load into SAP ECC system from a non SAP system.
Customer Master - DEBMAS
Article Master - ARTMAS
Material Master - MATMAS
Vendor Master - CREMAS
Purchase Info Records (PIR) - INFREC
The list is endless.........
In order to achieve this, you will need to get the functional design consultants to provide ETL mapping for the legacy data to IDoc target schema and fields (better to ahve sa tech table names and fields too). You should then prepare the data after putting it through the standard check table validations for each object along with any business specific conversion rules and validations applied. Having prepared this data, you can either generate flat file output for load into SAP using LSMW programs or generate IDoc messages to the target SAPsystem.
If you are going to post IDocs directly into SAP target using BODS, you will need to create a partner profile for BODS to send IDocs and define the IDocs you need as inbound IDocs. There are few more setings like RFC connectivity, authorizations etc, in order for BODS to successfully send IDocs into the SAP Target.
Do let me know if you need more info on any specific queries or issues you may encounter.
kind regards

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.

Automatic Creation of BP(Credit Management Role) from Customer Master

We have done the required config for this. But the Business Partner is not getting created automatically when the customer is created. Rather, we have to run the synchronization cockpit. Is this the normal way (schedule a background job for Synchronization cockpit) or am I missing a step ?

How replicate a Contract froma SAP SRM to SAP ECC

Hi all,
I created a Global Contract on SRM system. Is there a way to replicate it to SAP ECC? Is there also a way to associate it to an existing Contract in SAP ECC system?
Thanks very much, Regards,
Maria

Hi,
1. The backend system should be defined (SAP R/3) in your Technical Settings (SPRO) and RFC destination to R/3 system should be configured
2. Then the Message Type BLAORD needs to be configured in ALE/IDoc settings.
Plz refer this thread for more info:
Problem with contract
Once this is done, all GOA created inSRM will be replicated to SAP R/3 system.

SAP ECC Service notification from CRM Complaint

Hi,
As there are some links and document are available to create the quality notification in SAP ECC from the CRM complaint, using action profile for this some setting also needed in SAP ECC QM, but as in ECC we already have the service notification (IW51) which is working fine, is there any option to create the service notification in SAP ECC instead of quality notification.
Regards,
Zafar

Hi,
In the notification type, insted of quality notification just maintain the service/PM notification type system will create the notification in SAP ECC.
We also wanted some other details to be pass from CRM to ECC for that we have created a function module in SAP ECC which updates the notiifcation and then that function module need to be called in SAP CRM after the Create Notification FM in SAP CRM Action.

Automatic creation of BP from SAP User (created manually) in PPM 5.0

Hi Gurus;
There are some way to create BP automaticaly from SAP User?
I know that exits some Function Module BP* can do this automatic creation.
Someone did this?
Best regards.

Hi Rajadurai,
In the BADI - BUPA_FURTHER_CHECKS implement the method - CHECK_CENTRAL.
The following code could serve your purpose:
IF IV_ACTIVITY eq '01'. "Check if it is for creation
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPR_RELATIONSHIP_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
    IV_PARTNER_1 = IV_PARTNER
    IV_PARTNER_2 = LV_createdby "BP no of the creator
    IV_RELATIONSHIP = 'BUR011' "Code for emp. resp
    IV_DATE_FROM = SY-DATLO
    IV_DATE_TO = '99991231'.
endif.

Automatic creation of Vendor in FI from Business Partner

Hi, experts!
We are looking into a process to automate the creation of vendor master data in FI Accounts Payable for our employees and to keep them in sync as employees' names, banking and address info change over time. We use concurrent employment, and we noticed that running PRAA as a mass-update job to create vendor records for all employees will create duplicate Vendors for employees who have more than one active Personnel Assignment.
We are now looking into the possibility of using the Business Partner as a means of pushing HR data into FI within the same ECC6 system. So far, we have been able to turn on the automatic creation of BPs when new employees are 'hired' into our test system via transaction PA40. We can also use the program HRALXSYNC to create the BP for existing employees. Once these BPs are created, master data updates flow from the employee master data in HR to the BP. However, we can't seem to get the system to automatically create a Vendor record for this BP and have that linked together at the same time.
Is this possible? If not, is there a transaction that can be run to do a mass creation of Vendor records for Business Partners that don't already have one?
I can see that our BPs have been assigned to the proper Role in table BUT100, and we have "define(d) vendor link for business partner roles" in V_TBC002 to be "vendor-based". What configuration step might we be missing?

Hi, Mahesh
Thanks for the response!! We have already created an entry in this table for Role Category = BUP003 (the SAP-delivered role category "Employee"). In this table, we have chosen the "Vendor Based" radio button, since we want Vendor master data to be created for all BUP003 business partners that are created.
Which function modules need to be activated via the SPRO path Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Data Distribution -> Activate Function Modules in order to have Vendors automatically created whenever a specific role of BP is created?
Thanks again for all your help!

Automatic creation of Service Arrangements in SAP CRM 2007

Dear all
we're using SAP CRM Resource Planning with HCM integration, so get the Employee Master and requried Availability Info Types replicated from HCM via ALE.
Unfortunately, between the creation of an Employee and the Time Distribution, a Service Arrangement must be created manually. As both the HCM-side steps are executed automatically as background job, we are trying to find a way to also create Service Arrangements automatically. We do not need to maintain any data other than ID and Name for the Service Arrangement in the first place.
Can you point me to a way to do this - eventually a function module that would be available for this purpose?
Many thanks in advance!
Christian

Hi Christian,
You need to do customization settings for automatic creation of Service Assignments. And for the same you need to do all these settings according to the SAP Help Document.
You can have a look at the flow of the Service Assignment from the link below
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/c6/c14769c3fc814fbe3e5df8edcba791/frameset.htm
You need to do the customizations from the sap help document. You can have a look from this link:

Automatic Creation PO from Sales Order

Hi All,
I'd like to make automatic PO Creation check box (Sales Order - logistics tab) is checked by default (not blank). Do you have any idea how to do this? Currently I use SAP B1 2005B version.
Thanks and Regards

Use
Use following procedure to create a purchase order directly from a sales order.
Prerequisites
In the Sales Order window, choose the Logistics tab. Select the Purchase Orders option. This initiates an automatic creation of a purchase order as soon as the sales order is added to the system.
Procedure
       1.      Create a sales order and choose Add.
The Purchase Order Confirmation window appears. All items included in the sales order appear on the left side of the window; the purchase order is on the right.
       2.      Select the items you want to include in the purchase order by highlighting their rows.
       3.      To move the selected items to the opposite side of the window, click . To include all the items in the purchase order, click .
       4.      By default, the quantities for the selected items are the quantities from the sales order. If necessary, change the quantities for the purchase order.
       5.      To save the purchase order as draft, select Create Draft Doc..
       6.      If required, select Split PO.
By default, the purchase orders or drafts are created for the regular vendor of each item. The Purchase Order field allows you to place an item row under a different regular vendor:
○     Select the item row you want to place under a different regular vendor.
○     From Purchase Order, click and choose the regular vendor to which you want to assign the item row.
○     Place the item row under the selected regular vendor.
       7.      To create the document for a different vendor, highlight the relevant item and click   to choose a different vendor from the Purchase Order.
       8.      To create the purchase order or the purchase order draft, choose Add.

Real time job doesn't receive automatically changes in SAP ECC 6

Hi Experts,
 
 I'm trying to (using Data Integrator) automatically retrieve data from SAP ECC and store it in a local database table. I followed the steps written in this article: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Receiving+IDOCs. I'm modifying some records in the Cost Center Master Data (CSKS) and using COSMAS01 as the IDOC in which I'm trying to send the information.
 
 All seems to be OK, since I manually sent a Cost Center data row using the /nbd16 transaction, SAP ECC displayed a message telling that an IDOC had been generated. Also, when I checked the IDOC status in BD87 it had status 03, meaning that it had been sent correctly.
 
 In Data Services when I clicked on 'View Data' in the local database table that I put in the dataflow I could see the rows that I manually sent from the ECC. However, after truncating the local table, it bothered me that when I tried to send manually a second IDOC with another row from the Cost Center Master Data table, my real-time job didn't receive the request and consequently didn't insert the desired rows. I didn't change anything in the configuration, so my first question to any of you is that if you know what could it be that causes my real-time job to not receive the request from ECC?. I tried making a third try, but at my company they had to shut down the ECC server, so it's going to be a while before I make another try.
 
 Now, the REAL question of this post is that after I sent the first IDOC successfully (and before sending manually the second one mentioned earlier), I changed a record in the CSKS table directly in the ECC, hoping that it would automatically generate an COSMAS01 IDOC and send all the data in the table to the Data Integrator. This didn't happen and no IDOC was generated, so do any of you know why the automatic change didn't trigger the sending of the IDOC with the data?
 
 As I said before, I made the configuration in ECC and DI following the steps in the link written at the start of the post, and it was tested OK by successfully sending a COSMAS01 IDOC once, manually using bd16.
 
 In advance I thank you all for your cooperation. This is my first thread in the SDN forum so also please excuse any mistakes in my english.
 
 Best regards...
