Bid Invitation confirmation Text

Hi,
I am working on SRM 5.0
I got a problem at bid invitation approvals for Non-Catalog items.
Once Non-Catalog SC approves by all approvers then buyer is going to add the bidders.
After adding the bidders it is going for approval to concerned approver. for this mail also sending to bid approver.
When bid approver is login into SRM front-end and click on Approve button. It is asking for confirmation with Yes & No buttons without any text above these Yes No buttons.
Is it standard one or tell me where exactly this text was maintained and how can we check & modify.
Regards,
Chandu

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..!

Bid invitation email content text modification

Hi Srm Gurus,
    I have copied and modified the smart form bbp_output_cover for bid invitation (which has the email text and is sent as an email to vendors)...i need to know where i have to specify the form name in configuration .
   we are not supposed to enter the form name in define actions ....becoz this form is sending only the email notification to the vendors ...not the application document.
    i had implemented the badi BBP_CHANGE_SF_BID to change the form name
   Even then system takes the std form name.
please help me out.
Points will be awarded
Thanks,
Radha

Hello Radha,
If you are using the program "rsppfprocess" to send the outputs, then you have to customize the settings in the trasaction SPPFCADM. Please maintain the settings/changes and check again.
Hope your problem got solved...

BADI to change the document Tendering Text of Bid Invitation

Hi Experts...
Im need a BADI to change the document Tendering Text of Bid Invitation. Anybody knows?
Thanks.
Victor

Hi,
You can use the badi "BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI" to chnage the value for the long text "Tendering text".
In the EXPORT table ET_LONGTEXT,just pass the text ID deatils and the new content for this text.
The text ID for the longtext "Tendering text" is "HTXT"(for header level) and ITXT(for item level).

Text of Publication - Bid Invitation

Hi experts,
I didn't define any event for my type of object of Bid Invitation. But even so, when I publish a Bid Invitation is sent an e-mail for the proposer with the following description:
ID de alerta: ##00186##
Verificar licitação 7000000389
Possible Subsequent Activities
http://uipasr50.company.xx.net:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/BBP_QUOT/!?client=270&sap-client=270&language=PT&sap-language=PT&~DisconnectOnClose=1&BID_GUID=48A90794D2FA1195E10000000A0B7B18&OBJECT_ID=7000000389
How do I alter that description of the text?
Thanks,
Pedro Marques

Your question was to change the text description, hence I gave the associated smartforms. By the alerting has nothing to do with this notification.
1) Option 1:
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 (Select this)
And set the value as below
Processing using selectio report
Immediate Processing
Then in Processing Types
Make sure Smart Forms Mail is not checked as default
This sould solve the problem of sending notifications.
2) Option 2:
You can switch off the BADI (EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF) implementation BBP_RFQ_SEND_XML.
Hope this solves your problem.

PO Creation error after processing bid invitation

Hi Guys,
I need small help from you. I have created one bid invitation with out shopping cart. I had processed the bid invitation. Few vendors have submitted their bids. Purchaser had accepted those bid and approver had approved those bids. Now I have the option to "Generate PO" and "Create contract". If I click on Generate PO button I am getting an error that Purchase order has not been created.
I am unable to process further. Please help me. I have maintained PO number range in both the systems means in R/3 and SRM. Transaction types are also maintained in both the system. What else settings I need to configure?
if i click on "Create contract" buttion then I am able to create Contract in SRM system in held state. When this Purchasing contract will be copy to Backend system? once I chance the Contract status to release then this will be copied to backend?
My requirement is to create Purchase Order ?
Regards
Apparao a

Hi
Please provide your system version details.
In the bid invitation, the Follow-On Document field must contain the entry Purchase Order or Contract.
· In the case of bid invitations that are created manually, purchase orders are local only (product category is not relevant). In the case of direct material purchase orders, a copy (that cannot be changed) is created in the backend. Whether or not it concerns direct material needs to be stated in the item details in the bid invitation. You must specify the goods recipient and purchasing group. Also:
-> Outline levels can be displayed in a local purchase order
-> Bid invitation texts, bid texts, and documents are transferred to the purchase order (however not internal notes).
Also refer to this link for configuartion settings ->

Bid invitations are not going to Vendors

Hi,
We create BId invitations, but vendors are not recieving these invitations. We created contact persons and maintained vendor email address and everthing is working fine till last week. we got compalin that not recieving any Bid Invitation emails this week.
When we see T-code SOST, all vendor email address are showing in Greena and saying everything went fine...can some one tell me where could be the problem...and where to check.
If it didn't go to one vendor i can understand there is problem from vendor side...none of the vendors getting BId Invitation emails...
Thanks,
Ravi

Ravi,
To me it sounds like your SMTP server problem.
Here is a test you can do to confirm that to your mail folks.
Go to SO01 transaction and send yourself a test mail. In the recipient list use internet and use a external mail account (yahoo or gmail etc). Then check in SOST that mail has been sent. Then check if you receive that email to your external account. Do the above steps for your company internal address and check. That should tell you if the external emails are blocked on SMTP server.

Problem with bid invitation attachment

When I put an attachment at headerlevel on the bid invitation, I also found it on item level. This also happens whith vendor text and internal note.
So there's no difference between attachment on header and item level. The same for the texts.
Do you why this is happening ?
Thanks in advanced !
Caroline

Can you please also advise what format the attachment is in, eg: pdf, mp3, jpg etc?

BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE - Bid Invitation Create - External System

There appears to be a SRM function and BAPI that can be used to create Bid invitation programmatically. They are: BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
Questions :
1. Is the BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE used if creating Bid Invitations from an external systems (i.e. ECC 5.0)?
2. If BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is not for this purpose, is BBP_PD_BID_CREATE the correct one to use?
3. For both BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE and BBP_PD_BID_CREATE when creating a Bid Invitation (the GUIDs are not yet created) the Item Long Text structure does not have item number included. It has the Item GUID but during a create you donu2019t know what it is.    Is the following the correct process for using this BAPI/function and if not, please correct?
Create the Bid Invitation:
     1. Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE   (do not provide the item long text or delivery schedule information)
     2. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT
Call the BAPI again with the GUIs returned in the E_ structures to update item long text and delivery schedules:
     3.   Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE    with known GUIs for the items or is there a different function to call for the change to add additional long texts to each item
     4. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT

Requirement has probably long gone and potentially you've resolved the problem but for the benefit of others;
In order to differentiate between Header and Item data within structure I_BID_TEXT you need to use field PARENT_GUID. The value here is not necessarily the parent of the BID Invitation but the parent of the text i.e. header or item.
for example;
I_BID_HEADER_CUST
PARENT_GUID
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C
I_BID_ITEMS
ITEM_GUID.............................................PARENT_GUID......................................ITEM_NUMBER
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C 0000000001
I_BID_TEXT
PARENT_GUID......................................TEXT..TEXT_LINE
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   HTXT   testing bidder text      -> Header Bidder Text
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   testing internal note   -> Header Internal Note
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   Testing internal note -> Item Internal Note

FM: GUID_CREATE (EBP/SRM & ECC) can create the guid for you.

Hi, cheann
It's not difficult to set breakpoint, here it is.
First logon with reproduce user to GUI, go to tr:SE37, put FM name and display.
Now push "ctrlshiftF9" at the same time, external breakpoint will be set, there is one message saying, external point has been set for user:XXXXX. make sure this then repeat the application to analyze by yourself. BP will stop.
If you have multiple server, execute as below.
in tr:SM51, Select the correct server push"ctrlshiftf8", now jump into this server and set breakpoint here,(it's
the same as above)
Hope this information is helpful for you to go ahead.

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.

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.

Bid Invitation to create a Contract

Hi Guys,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 (Classic Scenario). Our requirement is to create a RFX through the bidding engine only manually. (Not going through sourcing or external requirements).
I am aware that we cannot manually create a bid invitation for indirect materials as we donot have an account assignment object for indirect materials in the bidding engine and this restricts creation of a PO.
Does the same hold good for creation of contracts for indirect materials or we can create contracts from the bidding engine manually without the cost assignment object problem??
Also creation of bids manually for direct materials should not be a problem as it does not need a cost object assignment (only storage location is a mandatory field).
Please confirm !!!!
Does anybody have the best practices used for the live auction and bidding process in SRM??
Thanks
SUNNY

Does anybody have a solution to my problem???
Please let me know
Thanks

Hi
Please do the following steps.
When you are using the Internal ITS,you need not run the report W3_PUBLISH_SERVICES.(only SIAC_PUBLISH_ALL_INT )
ALso pls check the foll:
-->activate the services through SICF tcode.
> Go to SICF transaction and activate the whole tree under the node Deafult host>sap>bc>gui>sap>its.
>Also maintain the settings in SE80>utilities>settings>internet transactuon server-->test service/Publish.
Table TWPURLSVR should have entries for the / SRM server line as well as gui and web server.
Could you please review again the following steps ?
Did you check that ICM was working correctly (TA SMICM) ?
1-Activate the necessary ICF services
With transaction SICF and locate the
services by path
/sap/public/bc/its/mimes
/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui
2- Publish the IAC Services
With Transaction SE80 locate from
the menu Utilities -> Settings ->
Internet Transaction Server (Tab) ->

BID Invitation header data (BBP_PDBEH) missing some info

Hi All,
Whenever a Bid Invitation is created and published but still without corresponding Quote and PO, should there be a data already present in table BBP_PDBEH or under tcode BBP_PD > Header (BBP_PDBEH)?
I'm looking at the fields from table BBP_PDBEH:
BE_LOG_SYSTEM
BE_OBJECT_TYPE
BE_OBJECT_ID
BE_REFOBJ_TYPE
BE_REFOBJ
BE_REFOBJ_ITEM
Kindly share your thoughts regarding this.
Thanks and Regards,
Vhong

Reference Object Type in Backend System
Reference Object in Backend System
Reference Object Item in Backend System
Purchasing group
Purchasing organization
BE_OBJECT_TYPE
BE_OBJECT_ID
