Bid Invitation - Delivery Schedules

Does Bid Invitation on SRM 5.0 (SRM Server 5.5) provide for Delivery Schedules, similar to R/3 at the item level? I can not any place to enter different Dates and Qtys at the item level. If it does, can you provide how to do this.
It is interesting that for adding and retreiving Bid Invitations that there is functionality to create and retrieve Delivery Schedules (they are in the import/export tables).

Hi Vijay kumar,
Could you please explain in detailed about your problem.
Thanks,

Tax and Schedules in Bid/Bid Invitation

Hello All,
We are setting up SRM Bidding engine for a public sector company.
SRM 5.0SP11 with ECC 6.0.
In Classic mode.
Here the business critical requirements are:
1. Bidders should be able to use the tax codes in Bids from ECC like it is allowed for SC or PO.
2. There should be provision to give delivery schedules with BI (ECC RFQ has provision for this)
3. The values for price conditions put by the bidder should flow to classic PO after bid acceptance & auto PO creation.
Know all of these are not available in standard SRM. But if any body has come across any development or achieved these by some workaround, please share.
Any documentation will be most helpful.
Your responces will be appreciated and awarded.

Any thoughts?

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.

How can we repair the output of the downloaded excel in bid invitations?

Hi
We are intrested in changing the current format of the downloaded file. We would like to remove the header lines and that only the item lines will be performed, we are also intrested of removing the columns: line category, Field Attribute, Change Key. The only columns we need to be performed in the file are: Document Number, Item Number, Item Description, amount, Delivery time.
Can anyone clarify how can this be done?
Thanks
Hilla

Hi,
Dave is right.
You can use BADI : BBP_PD_DOWNLOAD to chnage the format of the file.

Grouping of requirements into Bid Invitation from sourcing cockpit.

Hi ,
We are using Plan driven procurement ,bidding in ECS.Our requirement is as follows, we have multiple requirements(External requirements) transfered from R/3 with same material and same delivery date to same delivery place, we need to create one bid invitation line for all the requirements.
In the standard system it is creating one bid invitation, but it has multiple lines on the bid invitation, one line for each of the external requirement.
Is there any way to group the requirements into one line in bid invitation.
Thanks in Advance.
Nanaji.

Grouping functionality for Bid Invitations.

Is there any way to group external requirements to Bid invitations.

Hi,
When you press the Submit to Grouping button in the Carry Out Sourcing option ,report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED must be executed.
Read the Documentation given in the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED .
Short text
Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations
Purpose
This report groups together requirement items to which a valid source of supply has been assigned (for grouping into purchase orders) and whose product category has been enabled for grouping (sourcing option in Customizing).
In cases where assignment is automatic, the system sets the requirement as Transferred to Grouping.
In cases where a source of supply is assigned manually, the purchaser has to choose the function Transfer to Grouping in the sourcing application for the requirements.
You should schedule this report periodically, and make sure that the report is run separately for each document type (purchase order, bid invitation).
Prerequisites
You have assigned each relevant product category to a sourcing option for grouping, for example, Automatic Grouping, Sourcing for Item Without Assigned Source of Supply.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Supplier Relationship Management: SRM Server -> Sourcing -> Define Sourcing for Product Categories.
Features
Report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED provides the following functions:
For automatically grouping requirements into purchase orders:
It selects all requirements that have a unique valid source of supply, and have been set up for grouping. You can use selection criteria to further restrict the requirements that are selected.
It groups requirements by vendor. In other words, it groups together all of the requirements that can be sent to the same vendor.
You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to make additional groupings. If the standard system groups together certain requirements, but you want to create them in separate local purchase orders, use the BAdI BBP_GROUP_LOC_PO for this purpose.
Note that there are some limitations to creating purchase orders this way. For example, it is not possible to group together requirements with different vendors in the same purchase order. This report uses the same differentiation criteria as the sourcing application (for example, business partner, company code, product type).
It uses function module BBP_PD_PO_CHECK to check the assignment to a source of supply. The report passes on requirements to function module BBP_PD_SC_TRANS_MULTI_LOC_PO, where they are grouped, and converted into a purchase order.
In a production run (that is, not a test run), the system issues error messages to the Application Monitor. Example: A contract item assigned during sourcing is no longer valid when grouping is about to occur. This error appears in the Application Monitor. The system moves the requirement item to the worklist of the sourcing application.
The Application Monitor assigns errors to one of the following categories:
Shopping Cart: Automatic Grouping
Purchase Order: Automatic Grouping
If necessary, you can copy this report, and change the selection criteria to suit your needs. You can start the report in test mode.
Note: In the sourcing application, you can determine which requirements are planned for the next report run by choosing Find -> For Grouping.
For automatically grouping requirements into bid invitations:
It selects all requirements that have been set up for grouping. A source of supply is not required. You can use selection criteria to further restrict the requirements that are selected.
You can use the BAdI BBP_TRANSFER_GROUP to take bid invitations that have been grouped by the system, and then split them up on the basis of your own customer-specific criteria. You can use the BAdI BBP_SAVE_BID_ON_HOLD to determine whether or not a bid invitation should be published automatically.
The report passes on requirements to function module BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER_MULTI_RFQ, where they are grouped, and converted into a bid invitation.
In a production run (that is, not a test run), the system issues error messages to the Application Monitor.
If necessary, you can copy this report, and change the selection criteria to suit your needs. You can start the report in test mode.
Note: In the sourcing application, you can determine which requirements are planned for the next report run by choosing Find -> For Grouping.
Output
The report displays the purchase orders or bid invitations resulting from the grouping of the requirements. It also shows incorrect requirements that the system was unable to group into a purchase order or bid invitation.

ME2L Delivery Schedule Showing Fully Delivered Lines

Hey,
We are experiencing this issue on a SAP 4.7c system that we support.
Our business are trying to generate a report, every month, that is sent to vendors, of all the purchase orders that the business are expecting them to fill. To do this the business user uses ME2L report per vendor, only selecting the Schedule Agreements documents, hitting the calendar button (Delivery Schedule), exporting the resulting output to Excel, using a formula to identify the lines which have a GR value less than the Scheduled Qty value and sending these onto the vendor as a notification to the that these are the orders that the business have marked as outstanding.
The issue arose when the business cancelled lines on Scheduling Agreement 5500000073 by going into MD04 and deleting the requirement for vendor 5033760 and reassigned those requirements to a new Agreement 5500000053 for vendor 5000259.
However when you run the process above the deleted lines still show up on the report and you believe this should not be the case and never was the case.
What process to accurately identify on SAP, schedule line items, that have not being fully Goods Receipted and/or cancelled so they can be sent to the vendor?
Many thanks for any help,
Colm

Hi Jurgen,
Apologies for the delay, I was away on leave.
We use selection parameters WE101 and that correctly brings us back only open orders on the selection screen, however when we click the Delivery Schedule button it displays lines that have been fully Goods Receipted.
For example, if I have a PO with 3 lines, Lines 1 and 3 have been fully received and line 2 has only been partly received.
I run ME2L with the selection parameter WE101 and the report only displays line 2. Which is correct.
However when I click the delivery schedule button I will be shown the entire history of that line, including scheduled quantites that were fully goods receipted.
What I would like to see is only lines where the scheduled quantity is greater than the goods receipted quantity.
I hope this makes sense, thanks for your help,
Regards,
Colm

Order of delivery schedule line counter at schedule agreements from MRP run

Currently we are using schedule agreements for our long term external suppliers, but we are facing a problem with the order of new delivery schedule lines created during MRP run.
Because of master data settings like, lot size, rounding value, plan delivery time and planning time fence to set as firm new requirements, multiple schedule lines are created with no order for schedule line counter.
Does anyone is aware of a BADI, user exit or customizing control to have this schedule line counter in order?
Thank you

Schedule Line(Delivery Schedule) generation stopped

Dear Experts,
We are using Scheduling Agreeements to procure materials from Vendor.We are using MRP(type PD) to generate our requirements.We have noticed that ,for a Schedule Agreement- MRP generates Delivery Schedules accordingly,but if user will try to interven the process by entering a manual schedule line with some quantity,and Fix Indicator is getting fixed,after that MRP is not able to generate Schedule Lines,henceforth.
We had done the same things earlier,but MRP was able to generate Schedule Lines even after manual intervention by user.We have not maintained Fix indicator in Source List also and the particular material and the Agreement both have been marked as MRP relevant against that Vendor in Source List.
If we will remove the open delivery schedules having Fix indicator fixed ,after that we run MRP,then the Schedule Lines are getting generated,but for those Schedule Lines(Manual or thorough MRP) having Fixed Indicator fixed and have GRN transaction completed,we would not be able to delete those and also MRP will not be able to generate Delivery Schedules.Please advice what is the reason behind this and share the full concept of Fixed Indicator against the same?
Regards,
Soumick

It looks we encountered very similar problem,one item line in our Scheduling Agreeements can't be driven by MRP MD02/MD41,but if we add another same line item under this SA, this new line can be driven by MD02,and generated delivery schedule line.
I don't know why. Please give me some light! Thanks!

Deletion of Scheduling Agreement and Delivery Schedule using BAPI

Hi SAP MM Gurus,
Please assist in inquiry below:
My scenario is that I am trying to delete delivery schedules and scheduling lines using BAPIs. I have no issues when there is no GR made yet for the delivery schedules. The error arises when there are already existing Goods Receipts and Invoices for the schedule line that I wish to delete
When using the BAPIs (either BAPI_SAG_CHANGE or BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN), I set the deletion indicator to "L" and set to X all change relevant fields (i.e. DELETION_INDX). However, whenever I execute it, I get the error message 06088. The funny thing is both the Quantities and the delivered quantities that are normally populated are left blank.
For example:
Normal error for 06088:
Quantity 100.0 smaller than quantity delivered 179.0
Error using BAPI with deletion indicator:
Quantity smaller than quantity delivered
Is this a bug of the BAPI? or am I just missing some settings?
Your immediate response is appreciated
Regards,
DeLo

Open Delivery Schedule list

My current client wants to display a list of Open Delivery Schedules via ME3M or ME3N in ALV mode. using selection criteria WE101 or WE103. The problem is that these reports also display schedule lines that were already received. I tried changing the selection criteria, creating a new one and still the report shows schedule lines already received. Do you know a way to remove these delivery schedule lines.
Frank

Hi,
there is e.g. ME3N.
in the report on the very right there is a button like a schedule. Press it and you'll jump to the schedule lines.
regards, Paul.

About selecting Scheduling Agreement and Forecast delivery schedule

Hi Experts,
i want to write a Report, with 2 parameters for the selection : Sold-to-party and Period
For this Sold-to-party/Period, I want to list all scheduling agreement + Forecast delivery schedule.
I already found the Function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN to read all Forecast delivery schedule lines using Sales Doc.No. , but how can I select all Scheduling Agreement for the Period ?
Regards,
David

Solution:
by selecting data from table VEPVG (Delivery Due Index) and using function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN for each SD Document.

*MRP unable to create Delivery Schedule Lines in MM Scheduling Agreement*

Hi Experts,
I need your help...
The issue is, in-spit of maintaining Source List with an u201CScheduling Agreement with item No.u201D & u201CSource List Usage in MRPu201D as 2 (Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically), MRP run does not generate Schedule Lines, instead PRs are created.
Please help me to understand such behavior and fix the issue as the requirement is to generate Schedule Lines only.
Thanks,
Pratap

Hello
Please check
1) Source List maintained properly in terms of Material # ; plant # ; proper POrg ; Schd Agr # and line item# ; proper validity date & MRP relevant indicator
2) Please also check Quata arrangement if you are using. whether % is maintained correctly against the vendor
3) MD03 , Delivery schedules- should be 3
4) check your planning horizon whether it is NETCH or not
5) check material master -MRP2 view, Procurement type is F- external procurement, schedule margin key if you are using
if everything above is set, then I feel it should work
Also please verify-
lot size, safety stock and the corresponding prod volume for MRP input v/s the stock available in MMBE
example.
MD04, we can see the open del lines.
if SS = 50 , prod volume is 150
1) if MMBE shows 200 then it wont generate any schedule.
2) if MMBE is 180 and your lotsize is 40, then after MD03, you will have a schedule line of 40 (provided if everything is set properly)
Please ensure there are NO open delivery lines . if you find such in MD04, then please close open delivery lines
in calculation of MRP, system considers such open delivery lines are going to receive and no additional schedule line generated even after MRP run
thanks
