Bid not getting approved

Hi,
We are on SRM SERVER 550, SP06 with R/3 ECC5.0 backend.
I have activated WS79000010 - WF without approval for bid with the appropriate start conditions.
When the vendor submits the bid, the bidder is able to view and accept the bid. But once he accepts the bid, the status shows 'Awaiting approval' in the overview as well as Status tab (in bid).
The status tab shows
Complete
Created
Bid submitted
Awaiting Approval
whereas the approval preview of bid shows <b>'No Approval Required '</b>.
Also when I tried to check BBP_PD for the bid number, under WF item tab it shows <b>'No workflow item found'.</b>.
What could be the problem?
Thanks & regards,
Srivatsan

Hi,
Looks like the 'set released' method is not done for the particular document.
please perform the following steps.
1. check the workflow log and find out wether the 'setreleased' method is done for the document.
2.if it is not done , you have to execute the 'setreleased' method for the document manually.
3. then check the status of the document.
hope this helps

Dear Friend,

          can any body help me in this.

Hello you can go to transaction NACE and select application V1 and click on output types. There you should be able to see all the output types of sales.
Select the required output type and click on processing routines and you should be able to see all the program and forms for different mediums (Print, Email, Fax etc).

Hi,
Is it possible to change the approver in the bid invitation? or does it have something to do with authorization? because currently I can't see the change button, while I can see it in the shopping cart transaction.

Can not do Surrogate bidding after Bid invitaion End date has been reached

We are on SRM 5 server 5.5
We are using surrogate bidding to capture bid responses and we manually receive vendors responses by the End date on the Bid invitation . We are unable to do surrogate bidding after the End date has been reached hence we then change the End date to a later date so that we can do surrogate bidding.
Is there a way that this can be done without changing the bid inviation end date ?
Regards

SAP standard you can not do Surrogare Bidding after the submission date
We are going to use Follow On documents

Link from cFolder back to Bid Invitaion

Hi SRM Experts,
We are using the cFolders in the RFx to share the documents. Here when the purchaser logs into the cFolder from the bid invitation, there is link on the top left corner of the cFolder which should actually lead you back to the bid invitation. But i could see that the link is taking us to wrong server. Could anyone please help us in this case. From where this link is populating the server name. Where shall we set the same.
We have installed the cFolder in the same client as EBP. We are running in SRM50.
Thanks & Best Regards

Hi,
You should have a SSO connectivity between SRM and CFolder system, you have to create the alliass for the c-folder in SICF and activate the service> create users in both the system with CFX role assign to them> Define Logical System in both the system.
Create Template and assign then you will able to use the C-folder functionality properly.
Hope this will helps you and award the points accordingly.

Ad hoc Approver at last step SHC PO Bid

Hi,
I am encountering approval for the last step once I added an adhoc in the middle of the approvals, it is ok, but once I added the adhoc approver at the last, the document becomes approved already without the actual approving the document. And when I check the document again, the approval preview is reset to admin.

Direct Approval/Rejection buttons bid invitation

Hi,
The Direct Approval/Rejection buttons are disabbled while approving Bid in users Approval inbox.
Actually I have activated wf 14500026, and the wf is only activated manually for the creator.
I have added in tcode SWL1, tasks
TS79007914
TS79007919
TS79007920
and maintained the entry for Attributes EC_DECISION.
however, buttons still disabled.
Many thanks!!
Patricia

Hi,
This is not my solution.
Let me explain clearly
1. After SC created, Buyer will add Bidders.
2. Click on approval preview.
3. It will be showing one concerned approver for Ex: ( MGR1)
4. A mail will be sending to MGR1.
5. After that MGR1 should log in and clicked on " approve all items " button.
6. In the next screen it is asking final confirmation with YES/NO buttons.
Here my requirement is " I need to be displayed a text above these buttons(YES/NO) ".
So, Where do i need to do that, I mean where it is maintianing.
Please do the needful...!
I will be very much grateful to you..!

Quick / Direct Approval not possible for Bid Approval

Dear Friends,
The Direct Approval/Rejection buttons are disabbled while approving Bid in managers Approval inbox.
Is this a standard functionality? that the manager has to get in the Bid details and then Approve or Reject the Bid.
However the same manager can approve Shopping Cart by just pressing Direct Approval / Rejection button in the Approval Tab list.
Regards,
Sandeep Parab

Hi,
Just go in tcode SWL1.There for the BID approval task(see the task no in the worklfow) maintain the entry for Attributes EC_DECISION and EC_MAIL and then the icons will appear.

Bid Invitation Approval Workflow

Hi All,
We are having issues implementing SRM standard bid invitation workflow approval becos of the absence of a web transaction acknowledged by SAP.
Our implementation requires this functionality, could anyone assist us with a work around, or an alternative solution that can be adopted or customized by us.
Thanks
SRM Team Brazil

Hi Daniel,
As standard, as of SRM40, there is no approval workflow while creating Bid Invitation. Because of this We gave up on this. You can definitely custom on your own. Our need was similar SC BADI workflow. SRM50 has.
We did implement worklfows for "Approval of Submitted Bids"
Can you try with same web transaction assigned to task for "Approval of Submitted Bids" i.e., BBP_QUOT_EXTWF to this TS79007918 and try. Web Transaction is nothing but a Web service attached backend transaction, right. Your case web transaction BBP_QUOT_EXTWF is pointing to Source BBP_BID_INV, Try your luck having done so much and let me know.
Thanks,
Jay

Automated Mail for Bid.....

Hi friends,
        We are using SRM 5.0 (ECS). No e-mail is generating after publishing of Bid and final approval   . u201CNot Processedu201D Status showing in Logs. I am not able to see any mail in Tx. SOST. But after clicking on u201COutput Push Buttonu201D mail is generating and can see in SOST. My problem is How to send mail automatically without clicking u201COutput Push Buttonu201D, just after the final level of Approval. I have seen many threads related to this problem but I didnu2019t find my solution. For that I have to schedule any reports?
We had activated N u2013 Level Approval Workflow and Implemented BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. .
Following entreies have been mentioned for SAP Implementation Guide -> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Set Output Actions and Output Format -> Define Actions for Document Output BBP_PD_BID action .
Processing Time                             Processing using selection report
Processing Times Not Permitted     Immediate Processing
Sort Order For Display                   0
Schedule Automatically = x
Changeble in dialog       = x
Executable in Dialog     =   x
Determination Technology           Determination Using Conditions that Can Be T

Action Merging                            Max. 1 Unprocessed Action for Each Processing
Which settings i have to change here.Please suggest me.
Abhijeet

Hello Abijheet,
For frame 'Action Settings', try with 'Processing when saving document' in drop-down list for "Processing time".
This customizing should allow you to send Bid Invitation to bidder(s) depending on your permitted processing types and your output conditions for those processing types.
Regards.
Laurent.
