Automatic Sourcing in SRM

Hello!
Could you please let me know if there is any kind of source determination that can make the Purchase Orders automatically generated after the requisitioner selects the item in the MDM catalog?
If not possible through the standard, is there any BADI that could make it work?
My scenario is classic and we have the MDM catalog implemented, all the contracts is in the ECC6.
The flow would be, the user sends the purchase requisition from ECC6 to SRM, SRM realize that there is a contract regarding this material and then generates the Purchase Order (the accounting data would the same as the purchase requisition).
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

After our last EP upgrade to EHP4.0, when we create shopping cart, it can no longer find the source of supply (the contract in our case) using our MDM catalog. Does anyone know the cause of this? We have not upgraded our SRM-MDM catalogue in tandem with the EHP/SPS upgrade on our ECC6 ( SAP_APPL/604/SAPKH60406) at this point.

Automatic source determination on PR created from PM-order

Hey,
I got stuck here....
I have a PM-order, with a component, creating a PurReq automatically when saving PM-order.
I have a source list with reference to a contract and fix-indicator.
If I enter the PurReq and press source of supply, the source and contract will be determined.
If I use ME57, the source will be determined.
If I use ME51N, and flag automatic source in the top, it is also working.
BUT what I want is not working!!
I want the source to be determined automatically on creation, that is when I save my PM-order, I want SAP to create my PurReq with the source assigned automatically - upon creation!
How is that possible??
/ peter

Hi Peter,
In standard SAP functionality vendor will not be fetched from source list, if the PR is created from Maintenance Order.
However, you can use user exit - COZF0002: Maintenance order: Change purchase requisition for external component Area.
With this customer enhancement you can change the purchase requisition created from PM order.
We have not implemented the said user exit, so please check the documentation & test the same.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Pro's and Con's for use of E-sourcing or SRM or E-Procurement in ECC 6.0

Hi Experts,
Does anybody of you have a document which describes the main pro and contra's of choosing SRM as a solution or E-sourcing or E-Procurement in ECC 6.0.
Kind Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom
I had provided details of comparison b/w SRM and SAP E-Sourcing in the thread below. However please note that SAP ECC E-Procurement may not have the best of breed sourcing functionalities that you may be looking into. If you jot down the high level functionlaiities that you are looking at from your E-Proc tool, i can further give you some soecific insight
At the moment, please see the thread below

Can we setup automatic sourcing for standard purchase order

hi all,
can we setup automatic sourcing for standard purchase order. i have done automation for bpa. can anyone help me in setting up automatic sourcing for spo.
thanks.

Hi,
In order to create a Standard PO from requisition automatically, Requisition should be sourced to Contract Purchase agreement / Quotation / Global BPA.
Please create ASL, Sourcing Rule and Assign the sourcing rule in Assignment Set.
Also Set the Profile option "PO: Automatic Document Sourcing"
Refer the note
Automatically Create PO's from Drop Ship Requisition (Doc ID 835412.1)

Automatic Source Determination

Hello,
I have implemented function module exit EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001 to control user input, one of which is the desired vendor field. Under standard system conditions, if the user enters a desired vendor then automatic source determination is ignored. The exit implemented clears this entry. I'm successfull with this strategy so far.
Now that I have the field cleared, I was hoping that automatic source determination would take over. Unfortunately, it seems this is executed (or would have been) before my exit. I want to execute the procedure again after clearing the desired vendor. Do you know the function module, or something, that will do this for me?
Thanks
C

Thank you for your reply! Your suggestion led me to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY. A break-point in this function module proved to me that this is the one being executed. This function requires VALUE(COMIN) LIKE BQPIM STRUCTURE BQPIM.
The function module exit I am implementing, EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001, only includes data from MEREQ_ITEM, which is only line item data. Not all of the information required to build a structure like BQPIM is available, such as header data like document type and document category.
Where can I get all of the data I need to make the call to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
C

Automatic Source determiantion

Dear Guru,
During Automatic source determination, the logic to find the source of supply sequence is
Quota arrangement
Source list
Outline agreement and info record
Source Determination - Purchasing (MM-PUR) - SAP Library
My doubt is whether the above sequence is hard-coded in SAP or is there any configuration.
Regards
GP

Hi Praveen
A.The Source determination hierachy is:
1. Quota arrangement
2. Source List
3. Outline Agreement
4. Info record.
Once a valid Source of Supply is found the system will stop searching.
This can be seen Function ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY
FORM BEZUGSQUELLE_SUCHEN. (Source of Supply Search)
This is all hardcoded in the system.
You could us customer exit which is available in source determination EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001. This would allow you to change the results which apper ain the LORD table which are the entries in the popup list.
I hope this information is of help.
Kind regards,
Lorraine

ME52N - Automatic source determination fails

Hello experts!
i have detected an issue at my system when i set the Automatic
Source Determination flag when i change a Purchase Requisition at
ME52N.
Here is the situation.
If we set this flag at the PR creation (ME51N), the source
determination is well done.
However, if the user forgets to set flag "Auto Source Determination" at
the PR creation, at ME52N when it is set, the Source is not
determinate automatically...
If you press button "Assign Source", it is brought to the PR correctly.
Is there any OSS Note that solves this mistake??
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
cecil

Hi Maria
The header level "source determination" check box is intended for getting the appropriate source for <b>each</b> PR line items while <b>creation</b>.
As you have created PR lines already without choosing this option, now by simple selection in ME52N will not assign source. You have to use source assignment at individual item level.
warm regards

E-Sourcing and SRM Integration

Hi,
Has anybody performed SRM 5.0 & E_Sourcing integration 5.0. We are looking that RFx line item could be created manually or automatically copied from shopping cart line item details and later assign source of supply to shopping cart from the award. I would like you to share your experience/recommendation. I know SAP is working on standard integration but not sure when it will available to general use.
Thanks,

RE: Need to create custom fileds in sourcing in SRM

Hi All,
I am working on SRM 4.0. I had a requirement where in Sourcing I need to add a custom field in the standard SRM shopping cart. The best approach is BADI as far as my know ledge is concerned.
Can anybody help me out the procedure, which BADI to use or any other suggestion so that my issue will get resolved.
Await your response.
vishal

Hi Vishal,
To bring customer fields to the sourcing cockpit , you need to add those custom fields to shopping cart first and these fields will automatically show up in the sourcing cockpit.
To add fields in the shopping cart you need to follow the steps given in the following blog:
How to create custom fields in SRM
To find out in which structures the field is to be included you can go through the following notes:
Note 672960 - User-defined fields 2
Note 458591 - User-defined fields: Preparation and use
And after adding the fields in shopping cart you need to regenarate the sourcing screens so that the custom fields are dispalyed in the sourcing cockpit. For doing that the below given note:
Note 632982 - Generation of the screens for the sourcing.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Data Source Catalog SRM

Dear All,
Iu2019m using Catalog in SRM 5.5.
I need to realize a query BI 7.0 to MD Catalog, but I donu2019t find any data source standard from SRM system.
Has anyone experienced similar problems? I donu2019t find any SAP note on the subject.
Thank you in advance,
Alberto

Hi Jason, you're right!
I do not know exactly the operation of SRM extractors.
But I know that the Catalogs are loaded from the SRM and the data does not reside in the back end.
I have already used the extractors Shopping Cart and Purchase Orders that work properly but I do not know what extractors start (also enhancement later) to pull out the data of Catalogs.
From SBIW I found only extractor of heads of catalogs: 0BBP_CAT_ID_TEXT.
This, however, only extracts of the text catalogs but without the hierarchy of levels below.
You know there is something that works for MDM-SRM Catalog or some documentation about it on the tables that SRM uses in order to?
Thank you very much,
Alberto

Sourcing CLM-SRM Integration : Supplier mapping

Dear Experts,
We have successfully implemented the CLM-SRM integration in our landscape.Further to this we have some clarifications required regaridng certain possibilities regarding this scenario.
1. Is it possible to have a different vendor names for a same vendor in SRM and CLM and to map these via XI in some way.
2 What is the primary purpose of 'External Validation' option in CLM which we see in Master Agreement.
Please let me know your valuable suggestions on this topic.
Thanks and regards,
Gopi

Hi Prasad,
hope you are doing fine.
I´m standing in front of a riddle!
I´m sending from the CLM-System a Contract to the SRM-System.
This can also be created without problems in the source system, as long as we have registered for the appropriate document type in the SRM as "internal number range".
But I want that the central contract is created in SRM with the "external number" and thus there is a single number for the contract.
Thus, this number would be the same in CLM and SRM.
Unfortunately, the SRM central contract always requires an " internal number ".
If this is not available, then there is a error (CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL) in the distribution of CLM contract at SRM.
Do you know if a BAdI in the Component "ESOSRMINT" exists, which can help me?
Thank you very much and best regards

Document replication in e-sourcing to SRM integration

Hello,
The company I work for has purchased SRM 7.0(classic deployment), e-Sourcing 5.1(hosted), and ECC 6.0. My company will be hiring consultants to assist in the custom integration. I am trying to find technical documentation that describes the workflow following the rewarding of a supplier to the generation of the PO in SRM or ECC. I cannot seem to find this information on marketplace, notes, or sdn. In general, is it better to replicate the PO in SRM or in ECC?
Thank you in advance,
Brian

The integration delivered as a standard consulting service is E-Sourcing/ CLM to ECC. You can view the scenarios available in the integration documents. As I understand direct to SRM integration has been done but it is still custom work.

Automatic Source of supply selection for Dependent orders.

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where we have one FG (F1) with two assembly components S1 and S2 .Assembly components have their own routings.All the master data is exist in APO as well.An order is created for FG and dependent requirements are generated on assembly Components S1 and S2.Please see below to find the clear picture of routings and operations
In ECC
Operations for FG
Op3
Op4
Operations for S1
Op1
Operations for S2
Op2
We have four resources in Line 1 - R1,R2,R3 and R4
Line 2 - R11,R12,R13 and R14.
Operations are dispatched accordingly in routing.
Op1 - R1,Op2 - R2, Op3 - R3 and Op4 - R4
In APO
PDS created for S1,S2 and FG
Each having two different PDS consisting resources of Line 1 In PDS 1 and Line 2 in PDS 2
My requirements is when order is created against a requirement for FG then dependent requirments is generated for S1 and S2.After MRP run orders are created against dependent requirement.Now if i see the relationship for FG order in Ds Board I can see the dependent orders also.Since my op4 is a bottleneck resource, if there is not much capacity available to produce the order qty then I try to swtich the order from Resource R4 to Resource R14.I am just dragging the order from one resource to other resource but the problem is I want my S1 and S2 orders should also automatically move from R1 to R11 and R2 to R12.
For Finished good's order source of supply is changing but for Assembly components orders its is not changing automatically.Please provide some solution how I can achive this scenario in PPDS.

Hi Debasis
No , it can be used also in Discrete Manufacturing , as APO point of view PDS is master data which can be transferred from routing or recipe
This Heuristic can be find in SCM 7.0 EHP2 only according to this link :

Sourcing in SRM 7.0

Hi SRM gurus,
In SRM 7.0 a customization was added so that when a purchase order line was deleted the sourcing for that line was also completed.
Whether any one has worked on this.
steps:
1.Shopping cart is created and approved
2. Assigning a source of supply in sourcing
3. Purchase order is created in SRM (Extended classic scenario)
4.We are deleting the P.O in SRM. say line item 10
5 The corresponding line item in the shopping cart say line item 10 gets completed.
In SPRO whether any config to be done
please give your inputs
Regards
G.Ganesh Kumar

1.Shopping cart is created and approved - OK
2. Assigning a source of supply in sourcing -OK
3. Purchase order is created in SRM (Extended classic scenario) -OK
4.We are deleting the P.O in SRM. say line item 10 - OK
5 The corresponding line item in the shopping cart say line item 10 gets completed.- now this shopping cart item 10 comes to **** pit for again for BUYER action to do re-sourcing. Now BUYER has two choices either he/She can assign vendor and price and create a purchase order or COMPLETE that cart.
Shopping cart item COMPLETED means died. It can not be ordered again .
Define sourcing for product categories in SPRO . you have many options to configure upon your business needs when and all your shopping cart should / not venture to cockpit as shopping cart orRFx . you need to explore in thatnode.
