Bid invitation upload option

Hi all,
We are working on SRM EBP bid invitation with SRM 5.0.
While creating the bid invitation we have an upload option through which we can upload from an excel sheet the products for which the bid invitation is to be sent at the item level.
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of this upload option?
Can anyone have the template of uploading in a excel sheet? We tried to download from the available bid invitation but we got all the info. including the GUIDs in the excel sheet.
Best regards,
Sridhar

Hi,
You can achieve this by uploading the items using a excel sheet. You need to make use of the option Upload/Download Bid invitation.
Also go through the following OSS which would be helpful in process:

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.

Upload + Download in Bid invitation

Hi,
What i understand from upload and download feature in SRM is that the purchaser can download the bid invitation & make changes & upload it back again.
When I download I can see all database fields like - BBP_PDS_HEADER-GUID,
BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_GUID...etc for all entries quite confusing format.
Can anyone clarify how this upload and download works ?
Thanx,
Rajeshree

Hi Rajeshree,
Yes I agree that it is really confusing. But there is method in the madnesss. Essentially you have header lines and item lines and below that you have the header data and item data displayed in that order.
Please try to follow the header line and the header data. Similarly for item header and item data. You would be able to correlate then.
Thanks and best regards,

Various Account Assignment options while creating new Bid Invitation

Dear Guru's,
It seems while creating fresh Bid Invitation there is no option to define the Cost assignment like Cost Center, Asset, Order, Project, Network.
System creates Bid Invitation only for Cost Assignment "CC - Cost Center". Is my understanding correct?
Can any one confirm that Bid Invitation can only be created only for Materials/Services wtih Cost Assignment CC and Direct Material Option?
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.

Thanks Vijay,
We tried that scenarios also, we maintained alternate Account Assignment in Org Structure like AS, CC, NET, OR. These various Cost assignment options are also visible while creating Shopping Cart.
But while creating new Bid Invitation system does not have any provision in Item details to enter the Cost Assignment details like shopping cart.
That is why this question?
We would like to invite bids for Asset, Project, Order and WBS element materials. So that system creates purchase order with respective Account assignment in backend as follow-on documents.
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.

Upload SRM Bid Invitations

Hi,
We are trying to upload the bid invitations( downloaded and modified the price) in SRM 5.0 system, we are not able to upload the changes back into system.( Not getting any error messages, when uploaded into system)
Any documentation around uploading the SRM documents and any special configuration required for this.
Thank you
Sreedhar Vetcha

Hi Sreedhar Vetcha,
this functionality is not quite comfortable, but it works. You need to use the indicator U (update), D (delete), A (add) to adjust the document per line.
Have a look into notes 790860, 734060 and 812884 as well 734936 how to use that feature.
Cheers,
Claudia

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?

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

Set Incoterm and Terms of Payment in Bid Invitation

Hi gurus,
    We are using SRM 5.0 on ECS with backend ECC 5.0.
    The requirement is that the user want to set incoterm and terms of payment when they create bid invitation.So the bidder can just follow what the purchaser has set in order not to change the value.
    Anyway we can do this?
    Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If you dont want the Bidder to chnage the values for the fields "terms of payment" , "Incoterm" then you can have 2 options:
1.   Make these fields display only using the BADI BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI".
2. Implement checks acc for these fields in the Bid screen if the bidder tries to change these values thorugh the BADI "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI".
Also I didnt recieve any mail from your id.Can you pls resend it.If possible send me the doc with your deatiled reqt if i have misunderstood anything.

Defaulting dynamic attributes and weightings for BID INVITATION

Hi Friends
I have a task at hand to default the dynamic attributes( some custom defined fields for the bidder) for bid invitation.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in Advance
Regards

Hi Ankur,
I assume you are looking for attributes automatically populated, when a user
creates a bid invitation. Did you try to work with a template and define the
bid invitation in the way required and create a bid invitation based on the template?
Another option is to define the attributes for well defined categories and let the
users use the "propose" button.
Thanks,
Claudia
