Bid Invitation: Multiple responses desired

I am working with a client on a SRM Bidding Engine Blueprint. It is important that the bidder be allowed receive usually 3 bid responses per vendor, each with seperate terms and conditions. (i.e. different rates sought depending on timing and shipping point). They have received advice from SAP that it is only possible to receive one bid response per vendor - is this true? If there is a means of achieving multiple responses per bidder please outline for me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi John,
In standard, it has to be a different contact, so it will create a Bid displayed as a new line.
In custom, you just have to deactivate this control, and this let you create more than one Bid per contact. In that case also, all the bids are displayed as new lines. So you would get 3 lines with the same bidder/contact for your 3 bids.
We added a "Copy" button with the corresponding processing form to handle this event.
In did the same on a prototype to create several Bids via XML for the same vendor.
BW is also able to replicate documents, but you will have to reword your indicators, depending on how you want to interprete the data (only one response for the bidder, even if it submited 3 bid for the same RFQ).

    Hi Jinesh,
    If you want to stop the BID email notification completely, you can do that by deleting the entry in the configuration setting "Define Recipient of the notification"

    Hi,
    You can use table- bbp_pdhgp to know the bids agains a bid invitation. Query this table for fields src_object_type as 'bus2200' and src_guid with bid invitation guid no. src_guid is the bid invitation no. guid.This guid you can get from table crmd_orderadm_h.

  • Create Bid Invitation response in background

    Hi All,
    We have to create bid invitation response (from the vendor side ) in the background , not using the standard SRM screen and this program should update the bid invitation the customer has created.
    Is there any way to do this?
    Points will be awarded.
    Thanks in advance,

    . You can use standard SAP function modules for this. Please refer this thread for full details:

  • Multiple Insert in Doc Save Badi when publishing Bid Invitation

    Hi to all experts,
    Currently i need to track changes in bid invitation. What i did is using doc save badi to get the value (bbp_bd_bid_getdetail) and compare them with the value i save in a cutom table.
    Then the problem come in. Even if there is no changes, the badi will still cause an insert into my custom table. I used the debugger to go through the code and it never go to my insert statement.
    However once i finishing running the dubugger, my custom table will have a new entry...
    Why is this happening? IS it due to the different GUID in the bid invitaion?
    Points will be awarded generaously, thanks again for reading.

    Hi Disha and Marcin,
    Thank you so much for your prompt replies. I have awarded points. We are using SRM 5.5.
    Correct me if I am wrong, I have thought of using the doc_change badi but how do I confirm the changes should user cancel the transaction?
    Hi Marcin,
    I am new to this term LUW, please elaborate more on this.I have checked and confirm no other program or badi called my function modules.
    I have suspected that the badi was called n-times and insert a line into my custom tables. I tried using modify in place of insert so that such problem can be avoided but this was not successful with saving longtext.
    What I notice is after the system undergo a patch, the doc save badi started to behave in this way?
    Please kindly advise, all SAP experts! Thank you!

  • 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

    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

  • Url for public tender/bid invitation?

    Dear Gurus,
    We are configuring public tender/ bid invitation document in our SRM server 7.01 (SRM 7 enhancement pack 1).
    We have created a bid invitation document of type public. It has gone through approval and got published. We have not configured the system for decoupled bidding (bidding response from SUS available from SRM 7.01).
    In which portal, the bid invitation will be published? is it the supplier portal or there will be separate portal link available for the same? Could you please give me a hint where to look for the public tender?
    Secondly, who will get to see the public tender? Are only the suppliers present in the SRM system or any supplier who is even not registered with the client can see the public tender?
    Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan
    Ranjan Sutradhar

    Dear Ranjan,
    Your requirement can be achieved with the press tendering(paper add or advertisement on company website), where the client will be giving the details related to the Bid invitation so that the suppliers can view them and if interested they can register themselves to access the bid invitation and proceed with the follow on activities for response submission.
    As you have mentioned , you can publish a link in the client main page referring to the Bid invitation with details and asking the interested suppliers to registered themselves via supplier registration url , so that a corresponding business partner will be generated for them in the SRM system and at the same time purchaser will be notified with the interested suppliers.
    Once the supplier is registered, then they can access the bid invitation with there login credentials.
    But at no point of time suppliers without registering in the SRM system can access the Bid invitation.
    Hope this will answer your query.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Rahul

    Thanks,

    Hello Manil,
    this is because for transaction type concerned (linked to transaction category BUS2202 - Supplier Quote), an event schema is customized (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Define Transaction Types)
    This event schema (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Event and Event Schema for Alert Management > Define Event Schema) has the event SUBMITTED.
    If you do not want any longer this event to be triggered, create a new specific event schema (based on the standard one), but without this event.
    Then, assign this new schema to the concerned transaction type instead of the standard one.
    For notification (event category "Message"), mail layout is managed in standard by smartforms BBP_OUT_EXCEPTION.
    Regards.

  • Querry on Bid Invitation processing and comparision

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to get multiple line items in a Bid comparision list if a bidder has sent the multiple line items .
    where are they are viewed at the time of display Bid fuctionality.
    I would like to see all the line items which one bidder has sent to the purchaser .Because currently only first line item is only getting displayed.
    Can anyone please  suggest  what has to be done on this point. 
    Regards
    Sairam.

    Hi,
    1. make sure email set up is done as per note 455140. To send e-mails after bid is published  for the bid invitation transaction 'BID' attach relevant event schema. This will take care of sending mails whenver bid invitation is published or changed.
    2. Provide the role  BBP_EC_SUS_BIDDER to the bidders to enable them to see bid invitaions and send bids from SUS portal.  For this you also need to enable SSO (single sign on) between  EBP and SUS. Please refer the below link for further information.
    sending RFQs from SRM EBP to SRM SUS
    3. It is possible to down load the Bid invitation. Further update the mail  id of the bidder with your id so that you can receive the bid invitation smartform. This you can take a print out and send it to bidders. You can make config setting in SPRO 'define actions for document output' to send the   bid invitation smartform.
    Hope this clarifies all your doubts here.

  • Bid Invitation search: Buffer table not up to date

    When we try to click our bid invitation we encounter BUffer table not up to date error, we are using SRM5.0
    we have run /$sync and /$tab to clear buffer
    but still got the following error:
    Note
    The following error text was processed in the system SRP : Buffer table not up to date
    The error occurred on the application server alisrpr4_SRP_03 and in the work process 1 .
    The termination type was: RABAX_STATE

    What can I do?
    If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system SRP in transaction ST22.
    If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server alisrpr4_SRP_03 in transaction SM21.
    If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 1 in transaction ST11 on the application server alisrpr4_SRP_03 . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.

    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.

  • Publish Bid Invitations.

    Hi Guys, need help in the following:
    1) What does public bid Inviation mean? My understanding is that we will not have to assign any bidders to the bid invitation and it get published on a portal.
    2) How do I publish the bid on a portal - I want to publish the bid invitation on Internet where the suppliers can see the opportunity for businees?
    3) How does it work - Do we have to generate a PDF using smart form and then put it on the net some how?
    4) How will the vendors respond to the Open Bid Invitation as they are not created in the system and do not have login details?
    Kind Regards,
    Abdul Kadir Rajbhoy

    Hi,
    Yes you are right.Public Bid Invitation means that any body can bid to the event.If Bidders are involved then it becomes Restricted Bid Invitation.
    In Public Bid Invitation,you need to give  link to which the intending bidder need to get registered by answering a questionnaire published by your enterprise.Once his registration is approved by the enterprise, he will be issued a userid & Pwd and he will be in a position to submit Bid response.
    This requires the setting up of the Supplier Registration scenario.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Vendor not able to see bid invitations created one day before

    Hi friends,
    We are workig with SRM5.0 SP08. I have observed that vendors are not able to see bid invitations processed one day before.
    Could you pls suggest the probable reason, if anybody has come across similar problem? Bid invitation version is active and can be seen with purchasers login.
    Your responses will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Prashant

    Hi Marcin,
    all these bid invitation statuses are not closed. its published only. The problem is bidder is not able to see bid invitations with dates in the past.
    Dinesh,
    Ur right. There is also problem with search functionality. In fact I can display list of bid invitations only if I am not giving any search criteria.
