Automatic PO with preferred vendor

Hi all.
We Have SRM 5.0 ECS
I need to generate an automatic PO from a SC, this contains like source of supply the Preferred Vendor and price, in this type of purchase I do not use contracts
This is possible?

Hi Raul,
As it is clear from your statement that you are not using Contracts and you are talking about Free Form text Shopping Carts where you can enter Prefferred Vendor. You need to implement Doc Change BAdI to convert this preferred Vendor to fixed Vendor so that after approval Shopping Cart creates a PO.
Here is the sample code we had implemented for the very same purpose
BAdI BBP_DOC_CHANGE
METHOD if_ex_bbp_doc_change_badi~bbp_sc_change.
data: ls_partner type BBP_PDS_PARTNER.
loop at et_partner into ls_partner.
    if ls_partner-partner_fct = '00000039'. "Preferred vendor
      ls_partner-partner_fct = '00000019'. "Fixed vendor
      modify et_partner from ls_partner.
   endif.
endloop.
ENDMETHOD.
Thanks

Hi Surya,
Whenevr you do "SHOP", under source of supply system will propose preferred vendor based on the list which we maintained on product level or product category level....if we not maintained these lists then system will propose you the last vendor of shopping cart.....

Automatic Workload Distribution (category + preferred vendor)

Dear Experts,
My current client needs to automatically distribute Shopping Carts and External Requirements based on a combination of product category and preferred vendor. Do you know any BADI or any possible way to do this without modifying the code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

'Preferred Vendor' and 'Vendor' in Purchase Order Partner Overview screen

Hello All,
Please can you provide me with some assistance to the following issue we have on our SRM 5.0 system......here goes.....
In 'Define Sourcing for Product Categories config' , we have set the value to 'Sourcing is never carried out'. Now, when we manually assign a Supplier to the Cart and have it automatically converted to a Purchase Order, the Purchase Order is created but only in Held Status as only the 'Preferred Vendor' in the PO Partner Overview screen is populated with the other 'Vendor' field remaining blank and requiring manual intervention by our users
Please can someone explain how we are able make the system to always have the 'Vendor' field populated, therefore not needing any manual intervention.
Your help would be appreciated,
Thanks

Hi
Implement the following method , in which you will force prefer vendor
to fixed vendor for all applicable sc.
IF_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI~BBP_SC_change.
You will have to work with partner function 00000039 which is the
prefered vendor to move into the partner function 00000019.
In the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI we provide the business partner data
through the IT_PARTNER interface table. the prefered vendor or desired
vendor has partner type 39, the regular supplier will have partner
type 19. a switch from 39 to 19 should create a po instead of
incomplete po.

Changing preferred vendor to fixed vendor in SRM PO- no currency conversion

Hi All,
We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP11, ECS scenario.
Users create carts where they enter preferred vendor.
After approval we found that the PO's were created only in "Held" Status.
So we did a conversion of the preferred vendor (PF 39) to Fixed vendor (PF 19) during PO creation using BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI- BBP_PO_CHANGE.
We also implemented BBP_GROUP_LOC_PO,GROUP_PO so that all items with same preferred vendor are grouped into a single PO.
We observed that PO is now getting created in ordered status, where the preferred vendor is getting converted to fixed vendor as per our code change. But we also found a problem- that the line item price doesnt get converted to Vendor order currency after the Po is created. For ex: If line item price is 10 GBP and Vendor order currency is EUR, the line item price in the PO shows 10 EUR. The currency conversion fro GBP to EUR does not happen.
This does not happen for catalog items/PO's where the cart comes with a fixed vendor (PF 19).
So there surely seems to be something missing in our code for converting Preferred vendor to fixed vendor which is preventing/not converting the currency as well.
Please find below the code we are using in DOC_CHANGE_BADI for PO, is there any step in this which is causing the currency conversion to be skipped?
CONSTANTS:C_FIXED_VENDOR   TYPE BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT
                       VALUE '00000019',
           C_PREFERRED_VEND TYPE BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT
                       VALUE '00000039'.
   READ TABLE ET_PARTNER INTO LS_PARTNER WITH KEY
                         P_GUID      = IS_HEADER-GUID
                         PARTNER_FCT = C_FIXED_VENDOR.
   IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
   READ TABLE ET_PARTNER INTO LS_PARTNER WITH KEY
                         P_GUID      = IS_HEADER-GUID
                         PARTNER_FCT = C_PREFERRED_VEND.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
      CLEAR IDX.
      IDX = SY-TABIX.
      MOVE C_FIXED_VENDOR TO LS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT.
   MODIFY ET_PARTNER INDEX IDX FROM LS_PARTNER TRANSPORTING PARTNER_FCT.
   ENDIF.
   ENDIF.
Regardas,
Srivatsan

there is nothing in your code which prevents the conversion between the two currencies,
it can be the following reason
1) system as standard is not performing the conversion.
2) conversion factors are not maintained (or) conversion factors are maintained and the expiry date for the conversion factors has passed.

How to change Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor in SC - SRM-5.0

SRM Experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 and PI-7.0.
We are using classic scenario in SRM. When user selects the vendor with Outline agreement in SOS tab then SC creates PO in backend system because it has Fixed Vendor otherwise SC creates PR in the backend system.
We have a new requirement in SRM to create PO instead of PR in the backend system if Purchasing Org=5xxx and total value of SC is less than USD 5XXX and Vendor is a Preferred Vendor in the SC.
Do I need to use the Check Document BADI to check the total value of the SC and to check whether it is a Preferred Vendor and then in the Change Document BADI, change the value from Preferred Vendor to the Fixed Vendor before SC is saved?
OR someone has any other suggestions on this?
Which BADI is called first Check Document or Change Document before saving the SC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Atul/Disha,
I sent you my code and problem in detail at your email address.
Here is the requirement for Changing Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor. We are on SRM 5.0 and using classic scenario. I am new to SRM world. I also checked the note- 962474 in our system and it has been applied. We upgraded to SRM 5.0 in Oct-07.
1.     My client has customization for sources of supply tab. It shows the vendor information in SOS tab based Product category, Plant and Purchasing group selected in the SC. If SC contains Vendor with Outline agreement then SC creates PO in the backend system. So in Change BADI logic for new enhancement of converting Preferred vendor into Fixed Vendor should not change anything in the SC using Outline agreement.
2.     We have created Custom table-zsrm_fix_vend with fields, purchasing group, company code, currency and total value.
3.     We need to convert the preferred vendor into fixed vendor
    if the SCs 1st line item purchasing group = zsrm_fix_vend-ekorg and
             SCs 1st line item company code = zsrm_fix_vend-bukrs     and
           SCs currency = zsrm_fix_vend-currency                   and
           SCs Total value less than(<)zsrm_fix_vend-totalvalue.
My testing results and problems
1.     When I create a new SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PO in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
2.     When I create a new SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is NOT changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PR in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
3.     When I use Outline agreement in the SC, it is creating PO in the backend so change BADI logic is not affecting this existing functionality which is good.
4.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the greater value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the fixed vendor to the preferred vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
5.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the lessser value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the preferred vendor to the fixed vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
6.     When I copy the SC with Outline Agreement and change the amount it works all the time it is not affected by the change document BADI which is good.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Millions thanks to you!

Optimizer not picking preferred vendor out of multiple contracts

We need to use outline agreements in APO. We are doing the following:
CIFing the outline agreement(s) to APO
T-lane(s) created from Vendor to destination location
Running Optimizer
Purchase requisitions created with suitable source of supply.
Problem:
If there are more than single vendors for a material , there is a preferred vendor that needs to be picked by the system. We set the t-lane priorities acc. to preferred vendor and it works fine with heuristic. But for optimizer, we are not able to determine a method for the system to determine the preferred vendor and pick it during optimizer run.
Could you please share your thoughts or best practices regarding above.
Thanks.

Thanks Umesh..
I tried with transportation cost and it is working fine... but then how do we be sure that optimizer would work as expected because it tries to find an optimal solution with minimum
overall cost (that includes all the costs).
Plz advise.

Shweta

Preferred Vendor & Vendor Issue in SC

Hi Friend's
Currently i am working with Extended Classic Scenario's
Shopping Cart was created with both the field (Preferred Vendor & Vendor) Here Vendor Filed normally creates from the catalog But
Whenever user copied the same shopping carts and user can able to create shopping cart with Vendor & Preferred vendor filed getting updated
Note:
Either one filed should be updated
Can any one tell me what would be the reason?
Thanks
Shrini

Yes shrini. it comes due to OLD PURCHASE ORDER templates.
if you dont want this. end user must have delete the vendor before he order a shopping cart source of supply.
indeed it confuses business too.
step 1 :- create a sc with prefered sos
step 2:- sc goes to cockpit
step 3:- buyer hold a car in the cockpit now you get parter function 19 in bbp_pd 19 .and supplier comes int basic data
step 4:- create a PO from cockpit
sptep 5:- go to OLD Purchase order templates and now u see vendor picked as FIXED vendor .
step 6:- PO created
stpe 7:- check sc sos VENDOR XXX and preferred VENDOR XXXX.
this manner you might confused
Thanks

Preferred Vendor Lists maintained in EBP

Hi All,
I would like to know where exactly Preferred Vendor Lists maintained in EBP.
I had checked BBP_PDVIEW_LIST table, which displays Vendor List number against Prod Category GUI Id. But we also need to find out the link between Vendor List Number and Vendor Numbers.
If some one helps me in this then that will be great.
Thanks
Talchuru

Hi
Setting for Preferred Vendor is done at Vendor Lists.
This thing is only done by purchaser role.
You give user with role as : SAP_EC_BBP_ST_PURCHASER
Then you can see Business Partner link - here you can check out "BBPAVLMAINT - Process Vendor List" - by using this transaction you can change/delete the linkage of Product Category with Vendor.
Please see the related pointers ->
Re: Preffered Vendor
See the SRM web transaction - BBPAVLMAINT
To create Vendor Lists (progammatically / configuration )
Re: Vendor List Mass Creation
Hope this will help.

Preferred Vendor Search Screens

We require our users to enter a preferred vendor if they are not using one of the catalogs. But, when the search results come up, only the vendor name and SAP vendor number appear. How can I make more columns viewable in the search results. It would really be helpful to at least have an address so that users make sure they have the correct vendor.

Hi
We have face a similar situation in our earlier SRM Implementation.
In that case, we have manually modified the search help, to suit our requirements.
In this case, you need to manually modify the standard seach help attached with this. Better to raise a customer message with SAP to help you out with this.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.
