Bid invitation query

Hello Folks
In EBP, there is a list of suppliers maintained. When users create a Shop cart, where he donu2019t have source of supply. Now, he creates a bid invitation, now my question is how the suppliers will receive the bid invitation in version SRM 5.0 / SRM 6 and SRM 7. And their way of response to the received bid and how the bid invitation comes from the supplier into purchaser SRM system in all the versions.
Please let me know, looking for your reply.
Thanks

Hello Yanvi / Sahil
Thank you for the replies.
But my question here is, how the supplier (contact person) receives the bid is it via email and what all the possible ways the supplier can get it.
second, how the supplier respond to the bid invitation received, is it again via mail or directly via portal (if so, he might need login details etc.).
Can you all please tell me how this can be achieved in detail.
Thank you in advance.

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

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.

Bid Invitation - BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI

Dear Gurus,
I have to implement BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and the method is BBP_BID_CHANGE when creating /changea Bid Invitation. This BADI should suppose to copy fields from Shopping Cart to Bid Invitation. My question is how do I know whether my BADI is triggering for create or change mode? Do I have to check syst-pfkey? Lets say if user is changing the Bid invitation to add a new line item, if this is the case how do I know inside the BADI. Look forward to hear from Gurus?
Thanks,
GS

Hi,
Yes one of the ways is to use SY-UCOMM to check for creation or change.
ANother way is - query CRMD_ORDERADM_H based on the object ID (Bid number).
- If an entry exists means that the BADI is called for a bid which is already in DB - means a change.
- If no entry exists means that the BADI is called for a bid which doesnt exist yet in DB - means bid is being created newly.

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.

Add a new button to BID Invitation screen

Hi,
How to Add a new button to Bid Invitation Screen in SRM?
Thanks,
Raveendra

Hi
Which SAP Version you are currently on ? What is the exact requirement ?
If i understand you right, Incase you want to add a button to the existing screen template then it will require standard code change and also you need to plan out how will you will code the logic to activate the button.
There is no BADI which can do this as this is not a SAP funtionality. You need to do a little bit of research on this to get the job done.

SRM 4.0 - Upload function of Bid Invitations (Bidding Engine)

Hello,
I am currently working on the Bidding Engine in SRM 4.0
I would very much like to use the Download/Upload function in Bid Invitations, but for now I have the feeling it doesnt work.
I tested it by downloading a Bid Invitation and changing just one info like an item quantity or description. I put U (for Update) in the corresponding cell of the Change column. I also held the bid invitation in SRM before returning to it to upload the modified Excel-file.
When I upload the Excel file, I dont have any error messages, but no changes are done either.
Does anyone of you have an idea how I could make it work?
Thanks!
Andrea

Hi,
Please do the following things.
Excel updown/download is very flexible functionality.
(BADI : BBP_PD_DOWNLOAD)
1. You can change the format (how the document should be downloaded, which fields : Control variants in BBPC_UP_DOWNLOAD table)
2. You can also upload file (your own format : implement parsing method)
3. You can add your own fields. (APPEND_UPLOAD_DATA)
We are working on one such scenario for Contract Upload.
You can also check the following notes.
There is a SAP Note on downloading BID file.
Note 734060 - SRM: Upload and download of documents using MS Excel
They have given one example in this note.This is a consulting note,you will find it
Two more notes which can help you

I hope it will help.

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?
Regards,
Asha

The related OSS notes are as under :

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.

Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation

Hello everyone,
we tried the automatic creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply with report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED.
We get the correct errors in the report log of missing start date and end date of the bid and missing the bidder, because I never entered the information. The system doesn't give me a chance to enter the information. It is automatic.
So what is this automatic creation of a bid invitation with report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED for?
Where is my mistake?
Thank you in advance.

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 ->

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.
Thanks, Mike

NO quote for some line items in a Bid Invitation

Hello Experts,
We have implemented SRM 5.0/Bidding Engine.
For example, When we create bid invitation with 10 line items, and invited about 5 bidders to participate.
Please note each one of line item is having about 15 attributes which are all required. It is not an optional attribute.
If one of the bidder is not interested in bidding for about 3 line items and standard functionality is - the bidder will make submittied quantity field to zero, so it will be ignored for any further checks.
But this is functionality is not working in our production system.
Please help me to resolve this.
Vijay

Hi Vijay
I do not think it works the way you suggested.
If you make dynamic attr required, they will be required and making 'submitted quantity' as '0' will not change that.
Pl create a OSS message, if you feel strongly about it but I doubt you get a solution as it's not a bug.
Instead of using 'Required' field in Dynamic attributes, you may try to use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to control the required checks.
Best regards
Ramki
