Bid Invitation - Change Approver Button

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.
Thanks

Please ignore my question, I just found sap note 976555 that will solve my problem. thanks

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

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!!

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..!

Add a new button to BID Invitation screen

Hi,
How to Add a new button to Bid Invitation Screen in SRM?
Thanks,
Raveendra

Hi
Which SAP Version you are currently on ? What is the exact requirement ?
If i understand you right, Incase you want to add a button to the existing screen template then it will require standard code change and also you need to plan out how will you will code the logic to activate the button.
There is no BADI which can do this as this is not a SAP funtionality. You need to do a little bit of research on this to get the job done.

Buffer Table Not Up To Date Short Dump When Publishing Change Version of Bid Invitation

Hi experts,
We are running SRM 5.5 with Support Level 16.
We have a bid invitation for which a user is trying to publish a Change Version. This bid contains two bid outlines, with one line item in each bid outline:
ITEM 1: HIER (Bid Outline)
ITEM 2: Line Item
ITEM 3: HIER (Bid Outline)
ITEM 4: Line Item
However, upon clicking on the Check or Publish button, the system throws a CX_BBP_PD_ABORT exception short dump. The reason for the exception given in ST22 is "Buffer table not up to date".
Due to organisational system security restrictions, I am unable to copy-paste the dump from ST22, so I will be typing out some of the details here.
Transaction: BBP_BID_INV
Program: SAPLBBP_PDH
Screen: SAPLBBP_BID_INV_1000
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLBBP_PDH" - in "BBP_PD_ABORT". The main program was "SAPLBBP_BID_INV".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 73.
Active Calls/Events
(formatted below as "No: Type: Name")

2: Form: PROCESS
1: Module (PAI): PROCESS
The ABORT subroutine is being called in Step 22 (ITMADM_UPDATE), at the following line:
* parent guids have to be identical ...
if gt_itmadm-parent <> w_itmadm-parent.
perform abort.
endif.
Upon tracing the variable values in the ST22 dump, it appears the program terminates when processing line 3 (i.e. the second Bid Outline). It appears that the first Bid Outline processes fine.
In the iteration for Line 3, the dump provides that gt_itmadm-parent contains the GUID to the Change Version document header, whereas w_itmadm-parent contains the GUID to the original Bid Invitation document header, resulting in a mismatch and subsequently program termination.
We have tried to replicate this bid invitation in our Development environment, but when executing, both gt_itmadm-parent and w_itmadm-parent contain GUIDs to the Change Version document header, hence the program does not abort.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Janu,
For Note 1561750, I have looked at the Correction Details and observed that it makes changes to an IF-ELSE block, but will result in the same path of code execution as before. I.e., the Note changes the code from "IF a THEN b, ELSE c" to just "c", but according to my code trace, we are already executing the "ELSE c" block in its current state.
We will look further into Note 1877600. The unfortunate situation here is that since we are unable to replicate this issue in our Development/QA environment, and the Note description does not explicitly fit the situation we are facing, we need to be very sure that the Note can address the issue before bringing it into Production.
Otherwise, we will raise a message as suggested.
Thank you so much for your help!

No approval workflow found error while processing the Bid Invitation

We are working on SRM 5.0 (SP level6). We are able to create the bid invitations successfully from the sourcing cockpit. However while saving the changes in the bid invitations, system shows the error "No approval workflow found". When checked in SWB_PROCUREMENT , no workflow exists for object" BUS2200, Bid Invitation EC"in the standard SRM.
Kindly confirm what is missing...
NNK

Hi Nitin,
Use T-code OOCU - Task custamising overview. Then SRM-EBP --> SRM-EBP-WFL then active event linking.
Please activate WS145000026 for automatic approval of bid. or WS145000027 for one step approval of bid invitation.
This will help to solve your problem. IF not please reply me the error.

Approval WF for Bid Invitations

Hi,
Is it possible to setup approvals for publishing Bid Invitations? We only see one WF (79000006 - One-Step Approval of Bid Invitation). We tried and it did not trigger a approval step. Appreciate any suggestions on how to setup approvals for Bid Invitations.
We are using SRM 4 with Classic Scenario.
Regards,
Ashwani

have you activated the workflow?
(indicated by green button.)
in the beginning try using simple start condition
e.g.
&_EVT_CREATION_DATE& >= 01.01.2008
also remove any currency if it is there in SWB_COND for sub WF

Bug in bid invitation weighting change/update

Have you realized there seems to be bug in weighting the bid invitation?
If you copy an old bid invitation to make a new one the weightings come
along. There's nothing wrong in that, but when you change the header weighting
and add one line item and change the weighting to add up to 100%
it doesn't update to the system. New weighting % is shown on the screen, but it
is not used in the calculation.
Weighting between lines and header seem to add up to 100% when you calculate
the numbers shown in the screen, but when you click "check" button you get a error as if the header weighting is not updated.
There also seems to be some confusion how the line weightings are updated when you add new item.
I know my this seems like a very confusing thread, but there is really no logic how the system "behaves" in this matter.
Have anyone else realized this, or even better have you found a note to fix this?
We are running SRM 5.0

Hi
<b>Please go through the following SAP OSS Notes -></b>
Note 784550 Incorrect error message weighting
Note 1066294 - BBP_BID_INV:Weight records not updated after putting on hold
Note 1050973 - BBP_BID_INV: Side effect of note 936313
Note 936313 - Weighting error in currency change
Note 958504 Problems with change version of weighting
Note 904152 Error/termination for units of measurement of attributes
Note 836452 Currency change not updated in weighting function
Note 780108 Scrolling in comparison of bids does not function correctly
Note 723831 Unnecessary message for creating a bid invitation

No Approve button in changed PO

Experts,
SRM5.0 Ext classic
We have a PO which was changed and went to the approver. Now when approver logs into approve this PO, he sees it in his inbox, clicks on it but strangely there is no approve/reject button!!(It is completely missing, not grayed out).
The screen that opens up looks similar to the one that opens for 'Process Purchase Order'
I have checked the roles...everything is fine. Also this is just a one off case.
What could be the issue?
Thanks

Hi Mikael,
Could you please tell me how you resolved this issue?
For me the 'approve' button is appearing at the first time in the UWL. Then after I approve one of the leave, then the 'approve' button disappears!
Thanks,
Kalai

Bid Invitation not automatically sending change notification email

Hello,
I have the folowing issue with the email output bid invitations in SRM 5.
In Define actions for document output I set BBP_PD_BID to Processing when saving document. This work fine for new Bid Invitations, but when I make a changes after publishing no new output is generated for change notifications.
When I manually select 'Inform bidders and send out bids', the origional email is re-output and not the change version of the smartfotm text ('We would like to draw your attention to the'..... and not "The following bid invitation has been changed")
Is the auto output of change notifications for bid invitation standard? I though it was as I saw it set up in a different system.
Thanks in Advance,
Kyle

Thanks for your reply. I am aware of the custom smartform functionality.
It looks like the auto output is not standard as per this sap help page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/a7/81b463611c124d8c9d2c5bd8d17b34/content.htm
When I saw auto output of changes before before it must have been an enhancement.

For Example : if the technical bit is not opened then when the purchaser opens the invitation he should not be able to see the "Awards and Rewards" buttion even when the bid dead line date crossed.

Masa
Can you elaborate?
How do I disable buttons on RFx- All Queries page ....Buttons like Create RFx and Copy
Thank You
