BID invitation publishing authorisation

Hi,
When we select " Process Bid invitation" in EBP, we have find button through which we can filter the Bid invitations and open the same. But it lists even the Bid invitations which i am not authorised.
For ex.
Bid invitations created by "P1" purchasing group are Bid1, Bid2 & Bid3.
Bid invitations cerated by "P2" purchasing group are Bid 11, Bid12 & Bid13.
P1 purchaser can open the Bid invitations (Bid11,Bid12 & Bid13)created by P2 and can publish. Is there any control in org.structure or it is only through authorisation objects.
There is a selection criteria "My Bid invitations". But it can be used to open only my bid invitations not restricting others to open my bids.
Regards,
Prasanna

go to PFCG
Create a new role for Example ZBR01_EC_BBP_OP_RM1
BR01 is a plant
RM1 is a pruchase group
and go to authorisation and display authorisation data . then go to organisational levels and maintain purchase group , purchase organisation.

Approval of AR with out workflow

Hi frineds
We are using IM/PS. AR is created and follows the approval process.
Here we have no work flow. Now how the approval process can be followed.
I am aware that we can use the partner determination procedure but unable to go ahead.
As per the business process there are 4 appoval stages for each request. ( all the approval process is with the position, for each AR type. Example : General manger is the final approval postion, under this 10 general managere are there, whole will approve the AR with the AR type)
One more poin to add is in the partner function, if i use "S" for a postion, wher a group of person will be under a list for the ROLE for approval ............like 10 people under the "S" postion, i an unable to pick the ID in the AR. how can we group perople under the Group "Position"
Hope so i have put my question in a gud way
Regards
Surya

Thanks for the inputs
1. Your 2nd interpretation is on track.
A gropup of GM can approve , i mean any one of the group can approve.
How to group only these general managers? in the partner determination of the general data tab page, i want to select from the group only NOT FROM ID'S.
Regarding S:
I n the partner detmination function, there is a FUNCTION...NAME....No TPE..........
here in this we specify *type of partner number as 1. US-USER, 2. S-POSTION, 3. O-organisation unit and so on
if i give postion S, how to group all the GM usder one group
hope so i have put my question in a gud way
Thanks a lot

Notification when Bid Invitation is Published

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 classic scenario.
We have a requirement to send an email to some specific users, when a bid invitation is published. I suppose, the email is triggered to vendors by default.
The specific users are determined from bid invitation document.
Is there any way to configure this via. Alert Management? I checked in Event Schemas but there is nothing for 'Bid Invitation Published'. Can we add this as an entry there?
What are the steps to activate this alert?
Anybody worked on Alert Management, please share the steps.
Any alternative ideas other than using Alert management are also welcome. (like we thought of writing code to send mail in DOC_SAVE badi, but we needed to verify whether Bid got published, as this badi is called before saving document).

Hi,
In define event schema for the business object 'BUS2200' there will on schema 'RFQ' defined in the standard. For the schema RFQ there is an event called PUBLISHED already available in the standard. Here if you do not make any entry tthe alerts will go as soon as bid is published. If you put a value say 1, alert will trigger after 1 hour from the bid publication.
If you still have any doubts, please upda the threa and do reward points for helpful answers.
Thanks

Bid Invitation history (associated Shopping cart)

Hi
I am trying to figure out the tables where a BID invitation's history is maintained. Basically i am trying to link a particular BID invitation number with the shopping cart number it is associated with.
Can someone tell me which table/function can help me find the link between BID invitation and shopping cart.
Thanks
Nagender

Hi
Try BBP_PD transaction -> Best transaction for finding details of any type of document in SRM.
It will give all the tables involved in this case.
It by default works for BUS2121 -> shopping cart
and change the Business object type from BUS2121 (shopping cart) to the Bid (BUS2001* -> not sure chk it out)
and then give your Bid invitation number and execute it. On the next screen, it will display at least one line, and on the line when you click, you can see all the details of that document. Even the back-end document details as well.
Let me know incase you face any issues.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points, incase it suits your requirements.

Tables for Bid Invitation in SRM 5.0

Hello,
Im looking for the tables in which are stored the information of the BID Invitation.
I already found:
CRMD_ORDERADM_H
CRMD_ORDERADM_I
BBP_PDIGP
BBP_PDORG
But I can not find the tables in which are stored:
- Vendor information (bidders)
- Opening and Closing dates of the Bidding process
- Information about Purchasing Organisation and Company responsable for the bidding process. (= names, not the org.unit code!)
Thanks for any answer.
Aart

Hi,
You can use the FM "BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL" TO get all the details for a bid invitation.

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")
24: Function: BBP_PD_ABORT
23: Form: ABORT
22: Form: ITMADM_UPDATE

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!

Bid Invitation Workflow

Hi All,
We are using SRM 4.0 EBP 5.0. and we are implementing a standalone solution with a requirement for a one-step bid invitation approval workflow.
I saw there is the Workflow Template WS79000006 for the object type BUS2200 with the event TOBEACCEPTED.
I need to know how to trigger this event from the transaction BBP_BID_INV.
Thank a lot
Luca

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

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?

How to route the information to approver with out involving sap workflows.

Hi Developers,
i have a doubt regarding how the requester filled form information will be send to approver with out involving SAP workflows in the portal.
Normally i know the procedure where users fills the form with the approver details, the filled information is routed to approver UWL by trigerring a function module thru webdynpro.
But i need to know is there any procedure to route the information without involving any backends.
Thanks in Advance.

Michele is correct - sneep will help you get the serial from the running domain on the M3000 ,
and it is a good idea to install STB on your machines.
If that isn't possible for you, then sneep can be downloaded directly from [http://www.sun.com/sneep]
I believe that on this platform, sneep gets the serial from the output of prtconf.
There is a minor correction to be made :
After installed SNEEP use "man sneep" for all technical details.The sneep man page is not linked into the shared man pages, so you need to use
man -M /opt/SUNWsneep/man sneep
with out going to OK prompt (Banner)It is worth noting that the serial shown in the OBP banner is not the product serial
that you will find on the physical serial tag.
The banner "serial" is the decimal equivalent of the host ID, which you normally get in hexadecimal from the "hostid" command.

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?
