Bid Invitation Issue n-step

Hi,
I have a problem in implementing N-step Approval WS14500028 (BUS2200 Bid Invitation N-step approval)
I have successfully implemented N-step for SHC. But my problem with N-step is that it doesnt pass the object_id value but in the Badi, it passes lv_guid and object_type where in shopping cart, the object id is the key where i can locate the document.
Pls help..
Thanks
Cindy Sy

Issue in navigating to cfolder from Bid Invitation in the specific instanc.

Hi,
We have an issue in cfolder, when we navigate from Bid Invitation after creation of instance for cfolder through the link in "Document" view..
Instead of opening directly into the specific instance of Bid Invitation in the cfolder, system open ups in u201CHome Menuu201D in the "Competitive "Scenariou201D with all the List of Bid Invitation instance visible in the cfolder.
The user have to search the Bid Invitation Instance in cfolderr to upload the documents. Whereas we require that the system should navigate directly into the Bid Invitation Instance of cfolder.
Kindly help me in resolving the issue, have I missed some config. in the cfolder .
With Regards
Manoj

There are a couple of things you should change.
First of all, you do not need a Proxy Service with Email transport. A Proxy Service with email transport is created to receive an email from a SMTP server, which is why it is one way only (you wont be sending a message response to SMTP server for an email received from it).
Your requirement is to send out an email from OSB, you will only need a Business Service with email transport for that.
You can call this business service from your main proxy using a Publish Action and set the subject field by adding Transport Headers in the Publish Action.
Main Proxy-->Email BS
If however, you want to have a common proxy in between to set the subject(may be so you can have that logic at one place and call it from multiple proxy services?), then you can create a Proxy Service with LOCAL transport. In this proxy service invoke the Email Business Service using a Publish Action and set the subject field by adding transport header. You can invoke this local proxy from your main proxy.
Main Proxy-->Local Common Proxy-->Email BS

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")

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!

PO from Bid Invitation Contains Faulty account assignment

Hi All-
We are working on SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario SP6. Currently we are facing the following issue:
Process Steps:
1.) Create a Shopping cart with one line item and account assignment.
2.) Shopping cart goes to the sourcing cockpit
3.) The Buyer adds a new Line item to the Bid Invitation and publishes it
4.) Vendor Quotation comes in and Buyer Accepts it
5.) Buyer tries to create a PO out of the accepted Bid.
6.) PO Checked - No Error Found and the PO is ordered.
7.) In the PO transfer to R/3, the following errors occur
a.) " Purchase Order Item 0002 still contains fault ac assignments"
b.) " Purchase Order 820000XX : Enter Commodity Code"
These Errors can be found in RZ20 as a backend application error in the Purchase Order section.
Has anyone faced a similar problem, if yes, do you know what the fix or OSS Note is? Or is there something that i am missing?
Please throw some light !
Thanks,
Sundeep

Hi Sundeep,
This problem looks to be a program error. SAP suggest few notes for the account assignment errors. However i could not found out any relation for this error w.r.t commodity code.
The related OSS notes are as under :
Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end
Note 966323 - Service Item: Not able to create PO in ERP backend
The note 1000184 is more relavent in your case and other related notes are mentioned in that note which may resolve your issue.
Hope this note will definitely come to your help.
Please let us know the outcome for further help.

Error when create bid invitation (Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid)

Dear All ,
We have issue in our PDP scenario, when creating a bid invitation from a PR (from R/3), an error occured with message" Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid".
I already raise an oss message and the reply is because the system take different company code that's not active in R/3 system. Its because TAXD procedure is assign to country DE (German) and company 0001 country is "DE".
BE_STGE_LOC 9114
BE_PLANT 7008
BE_BATCH
BE_VAL_TYPE
BE_MOVE_REAS 0000
BE_EXPERYDATE
BE_PUR_GROUP
BE_PUR_ORG
BE_CO_CODE 0001 --> supposed the Correct company code is "8008"
CALL FUNCTION 'FI_COMPANY_CODE_DATA'
EXPORTING
I_BUKRS = BUCHUNGSKREIS
IMPORTING
E_T001 = T001.
We wonder how the system assign company code 0001 with plant 7008, since in R/3 Plant 7008 is assign to company code 8008.
The company code 0001 is not active in our R/3 system.
And also its not happen for all document , so just for several document, and not just in this plant (7008).
The OSS reply also mention that the company chages is because this badi
implementation ZBBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI with object type 'BUS2121' method 'BBP_SC_CHANGE' 'Method for Changing Shopping Carts'
======================================================
Assign the appropriate company code and modify the ET_ITEM table
ls_item-be_co_code = ls_locmap-company_code.
MODIFY et_item FROM ls_item.
======================================================
But we already use this badi for several years, and we're not sure that this badi id the root cause,and until now there still no solution for this issue.
Please kindly advise.

Hi SG,
In SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Cross Application Basic Settings > Tax Calculation
1.Determine system for tax caluclation : Choose either no tax calculation or Tax calculation occurs in back end.
2. Enter Tax code : Mention Tax indicator as I0 and tax description Zero Tax, Check the No Tax check box and make it default based on your requirement.
Please follow the above steps based on your requirement which will definitely resolve your issue.
This issue comes when the tax calculation happens in the SRM system and the tax code I0 is not defined in tax procedure TAXD.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Bid Invitations & Statement of Award

Hi All,
I am not a functional guy but I need this information to pull the info into BW. We have a Bidding engine or Bid Invitations which is currently being configured.
The "Statement of Award" is something which is granted to the vendors provided the bid engine shortlists them as a winner. ( This is mostly done in govt. agencies).
The Statement of Award has fields like:
Solicitation
Issue Date
Opening Date
Description
Awarded to (Vendor)
Evaluated Amount
Total Potential Value
Contract Number
Maximum Contract Period
Item
Description
etc...
I would like to know what are the SAP tables which would hold all the above fields which are relevant to Statement of Award.
Thank you.

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.

Fill the custom fields of backend PO from bid invitation

Hi all,
From bid invitation I am generating a purchase order. A PO is getting created in the backend. But when I save the PO in the backend it gives an error because a custom field (created in both backend PO and bid invitation) is mandatory for creating a PO is not filled. I have to map the Z field created in bid invitation to the custom field in backend. But in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK there is no information regarding the quotation or bid invitation. Is there any way to get the bid or bid invitation details like bid guid or bid invitation guid or any other field which related the PO to bid in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK?

Asha

Add "Bid Invitation" field to PO create (ME21N)

Hi Gurus,
I have a request to add the 'bid invitation" field (AUSNR) as optional entry to the PO and Requisition during creating. I thought all I had to do is add it to table T162X (I put in position 210) and then configure it as required/optional/display in IMP / MM / Purchasing / Purchase Order / Define Screen Layout at Doc Level, but it is not showing on as an available field on the screens. What steps am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

The 'bid invitation' field AUSNR is in the EKKO table. I am trying to have it come up on the PReqn & PO create and change screens, but have not have any luck. Please help me thru the proper steps.

Bidder Not able to filter Bid Invitations with custom fields

Dear Community,
Need some ABAP help.
Know many experts are in our community.
We have added 3 custom fields to the Bid Invitation and Bid header
Coded Badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2 for them to appear in the Search criteria for Find Bid Invitation for both the logins(purchaser and bidder).
The custom fields now appear in the Extended search for both.
These custom fields extract values from custom tables.
But we found that the search criteria seems to be filtering Bid Invitations only in the Process Bid Invitation screen(Find Bid Invitation) of the purchaser login.
Template: bbp_bid_inv/99/saplbbp_bid_inv_1010.html
And NOT filtering Bid Invitations in the Process Bid screen(Find Bid Invitations and Auctions) of the Bidder login.
bbp_quot/99/saplbbp_quot_ui_its_1010.html
The ABAPer has already incuded the custom fields in structures INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID and INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_QUOT,
What is required in addition so that the search criteria will work in the Bidder login as well??
Thanks in Advance,
Dinesh
(Will appreciate with points)

Thanks, Disha.
We have alreday activated BBP_WF_LIST
and tried some code in method
BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO
but did not help us.
Can you suggest any specific code to try?
You are right for template modification for values of this custom fields.
If we do that Bidder CAN filter the BI correctly with these values of custom fields.
But customer does not want that way because in future the values would be changing.
and so it would be an additional task to correct templates.
Also they have to redo these changes with every upgrade.
So we are fetching the values from custom tables for these custom fields.
Would like to again draw the attention towards purchaser's search with these custom fields.
Why purchaser can search correctly with these custom fields fetching values from custom tables?
Can we debug or take any hint from there?
Any futher thoughts?

Send e-mail to Vendors when Close Bid Invitation

I have a issue with SRM.
In Process BID Invitation, when the Bid is close by the button action "Close", Is possible to send an e-mail to the selected vendors, advising them about the closure of the BID invitation? Can I do this thru any BADI or another solution?
I think that in Auction, when I CLOSE them, an email is send to the vendors. Am I correct about this?
Can anyone please tell me how I can solve this problem?
This problem can be the Configuration? Is a SRM Problem or ABAP Problem?
Modaration Please, if this question is an incorrect forum, check and move to the appropriate.
