Backend contract as source of supply

Hi
We are using SRM 7 and classic scenario.
I have created a contract in ECC with account assignment K and with a free-text. I would like to use that one as source of supply. Do I have to put that in a source list in SRM or can SRM use the contract in ECC automatically?
What settings do I need to use?
Sincerely
Anders

Hi Anders,
It is standard that in the Classic scenario the backend contracts will
display as a relevent source of supply. But in Extended Classic the
system will search for local sources of supply and not backend ones.
-> Also please review and implement the following note:
1013440 RFC enabled function module to read R/3 Contracts
I'm not sure which on the FM's are called to read the backend SOS
META_SOURCEDETERMIN_GETSOS
B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI
You could try using the BAPI, I have some example data which I found, you could use it to your wishes.
Call BAPI for source of supply determination
     CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SOURCEDETERMIN_GETSOS'
ls_search_criteria-material
ls_search_criteria-mat_grp     G02H01
ls_search_criteria-plant       9972
ls_search_criteria-deliv_date 20090824

Hope this helps,

PO - contract as source of supply

Hi,
I am facing a problem while assigning a contract as source of supply to a PO item.
The contract is released and is available as source of supply. Once I enter the contract id and the contract item id in the PO item, the details like price, tax code etc get copied but the vendor does not get copied. I seems weird to me.
Could someone please help with this?
Thanks & Regards
Saravanan.

Hello,
Please check and apply SAP Note No. 710129.

SNP Heuristics is not picking up contracts as source of supply

Hi Experts,
I have a strange situation here. I have integrated a vendor contract with APO, which has created an external procurement relationship and a valid transportation lane. When I create a receipt element manually through /n/sapapo/rrp3, the source of supply is determined rightly to this vendor and receipt is created.....but when I run location SNP heuristics interactively, system generates receipt element without any reference to this source of supply. Expectation is creation of receipt element with reference to vendor and contract...
System release is SCM 5.1 with ECC 6
Am I missing something?....please let me have your inputs...
Thanks and regards,
Raghav

Hi Aparna,
Thank you for your response.
I have checked the note, but it is applicable till SCM 500 SP 13. Our's is SCM 5.1 and this is inclusive I suppose. As per the SAP SCM standard documentation, external procurement relationship between vendor and receiving plant can be created through following 3 docuements:
1. Purchase infor record
2. Scheduling agreement
3. Contracts
Additionally, as per documentation, even source list between plant and vendors can be integrated by enabling the same through R/3 transaction 'CIFPUCUST01'.
I have worked with first two and SNP considers these for source determination. When I tried to integrate the contract, though it is creating TL between 'vendor --> receiving plant' and an active external procurement relationship, SNP is not found considering this for source determination. When I tried to use the source list for creating TL and esternal procurement relationship, the same is not creating any.
What type of contracts can be used for SNP planning and what else required to be done for integrating source list? I have enabled source list in R/3 material master. Source list is maintained as 'MRP relevant' in R/3.
Thanks and regards,
Raghav

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)

Shopping Cart creation with reference to Backend Contract

Dear Experts,
We are working in SRM 7.0 Classic Scenario.
We have Backend Contract with document type PCTR which is available as Source of Suppliy when creating Shopping cart.
I can use this contracts as source of supply but the issue is when the Shopping cart total quantity crosses the target value of the Contract quantity there was no error message as the quantity has exceeded the target quantity.
The system is allowing me to create the Shopping cart but after approval the Shopping cart is showing the status as Approved and not creating PO or PR.
Is there any configuration available to get the update if the quantity in SC crosses the Target quantity of the backend contract.
It is also OK if the SC goes to Purchasers work list if the target quantity is crossed.
Kindly reply to this thread immedeately.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

Hi
target quantity or Target value ?
what about your Contract value contract - target value or target quantity
i aware value contract is throwing message if the sc exceeds the contract value.
share your contract details.
is it created in ECC or CCTR or GCTR . target quantity for materials or taget value for that material

Assign Source of Supply to External Catalogue Vendors

Hi there,
we're running on EBP 3.5, replicated catalogue Vendors in the structure, assigned the BP and Purch Org in customizing, created contracts with relevant Mat Group, but when the system returns to EBP from the website doesn't assign the cart automatically to the vendor.
Might that be because there's more contracts with diff mat groups per single vendor?
Thanks very much for your help,
Enrico

If the purchasing requisition is assigned to a contract as source of supply, then you can see it in ME5A transaction before and after the PR was converted to a PO.
And you can see it in all purchasing list reports such as ME2N, in the schedule view, here you have even PO number, contract number and requisition number in one view.
Technically the table for requisition is EBAN which has a contract number field.
however this is only good before the PR got converted to a PO, as it is possible to create several POs from one requisition, you better get the PO-PR reference from EKET table, and the PO-contract reference from the EKPO table

Source of supply for material

Hi! Is it possible to have the supplier defaulted based on the inforecord when I enter a material number in the shopping cart? If possible, is there a difference between classic and extended classic in this case?
Regards
SF

Hi SF
Inforecord only available for classic as aource of supply
not for extended classic scenario.
Classic:- Info record / ECC contract / vendor list
ECS:- Local contract / vendor list or bring ECC contract to SRM via report and lock the backend contract.
Vendor(new supplier list) list dont support local contract . it supports only ECC contract .
Thanks

Contract Source of Supply Not Populating in SC

Hello:
We are in a classic scenario of SRM 5.0 and the source of supply in the SC is not populating (either from an existing local contract or backend contract). Our expected result is to see the contract(s) associated with that material under the "source of supply" grouping.
- Side note: When creating a local contract in SRM, we get a dialog box with the error message "ordering party could not be determined" Not sure if this is related to the big issue, but it looks like an org structure error and we can't figure out the related attribute.
Can you help shed some light on the situation?
Much appreciation,
Edgar

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.

Backend system used to fetch sources of supply in classic scenario?

Dear Experts,
In sourcing for shopping cart in classic scenaro, the proposing sources of supply fetches possibles sources like contract, info record from local system as well as backend systems. If there are number of backend systems, which system is used to fetch the probable contracts and info-record as source of supply?
Is it the source system for the product category used in the shopping cart? or is there any settings defined in the org structres of the user attributes?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

You could try to set a Breakpoint at FM BBP_PDC_SRC_DETERMINE or inside META_sOS_determine.
as KGP said you will get inforecord and contract are valid source of supply
We call the backend system in the plugin function B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI at the line:
Get sources of supply from backend system for all items
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI'

R/3 Contracts Do Not Show as Source of Supply in SRM/EBP

We are implementing SRM4.0 connecting to a backend R/3 Enterprise (470) instance in a classic mode. "Standard" functionality should allow us to see backend R/3 contracts (by material group) when in the source of supply tab in the SRM shopping cart. None appear. We want to be able to select the backend material group contracts from the source of supply tab - this was standard in previous versions (of SRM/EBP).
Did we miss a new configuration setting? Is anyone aware of a potential "fix" for this? (All RFCs, etc work fine). We are not interested in replicating the R/3 contracts to SRM.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.....Kyle

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic
Check validity period and specific data on plant
check any one of this FM helps to debug for you.

Source of supply in SC shows wrong contracts when changing cocode

Hi experts,
Some details:
We are on an SRM 5.0 implementation, in classic scenario.
We have a problem when using source of supply in a shopping cart.
When we select a certain product and let the system suggest a source of supply, it gives us a list of contracts. However, when we change the company code, we would expect that these same contracts would not be visible anymore (as the R/3 contract has a company code). Even after refreshing, the system keeps giving wrong contracts.
Any suggestions?
Best Regards,
Tom

Hi. Are these backend contracts and do your contracts have plants on?
I have a feeling that SRM only uses Plant, Unit of Measure and Material group to calculate if a backend contract is valid.
If your contracts have no plants that might explain it.
BADI BBP_SOS_BADI should allow you to restrict on custom criterea though.
Regards,
Dave.

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

Contract automatically set as source of supply for PR/PO

Hello MM experts,
I am thinking about implementing the following scenario and I have 4 questions
PM service order that creates a Purchase requisition automatically.
I will have in the system a MM contract for that material / vendor / plant
It is possible in SAP that the contract is set automatically as a source of supply in the automatically created purchase requisition?
If it’s not possible in the PR it’s is possible at the time of PO creation?
What configuration is needed in the system for this?
It is possible to automatically create a PO from a PR with no steps for the user?
Thanks a lot for your valuable help and regards.

Dear,
Here you need to consider two parameters.
Contract : Its an yearly or monthly contract with a desired vendor on Quantity(Quantity Contract) or Value(Value contract) based.
But if you are creating a service P.R using maintenance order for that particular maintenance service.Here system considers the account assignment as "F".
If you want to capture the service cost of contract,
Create an AMC for the services of that vendor and create P.O with account assignment as "U-Unknown". At the time of service required by maintenance department, They will create a maintenance order and do service entry with respect to "Maintenance Order". So actual cost will update in maintenance order.
You can create a "Automatic P.O "with respect to P.R as our friend Jurgen said for supply.This can be done by activating the check box in material master of "Purchasing" view.
You have an option of assigning the agreement in 'Maintenance Order"At the time of creating a P.R through it.But If your contract "Account assignment" and P.R "Account assignment" Creating through maintenance order will be different.So system will populate an error message as" Account assignment in agreement and Requisition incompatible"
