BID invitation URL and Portal

Hello,
Implementing ECS SRM 5.0
When you publish bid invitations, the URL in vendor e-mail points to the ITS. However, we use the portal and due to that, my request is if it is possible to change the URL to the portal URL.
This should not be done in the EXT_ITS attibute in the vendor hierarchy as this is for the ITS, nor in the service.
What is the recommended way to do this?

hi,
Try using the BADI "'BBP_SUS_MAIL_DESCR'" to change the email contents to contain the EP url.
related notes:
Note 837179 - SUS3.0: Possible changes for e-mail-notification
Note 738370 - E-mail notification: Composite SAP note
The ITS details are however picked up based on the value of the paramater "EXT_ITS ".

Bid Invitation (Notification and Output)

Hi Gurus,
I have no clue how to manage Output / Messages for Bid Invitations. I need the system to do the following:
1) Send email notification to Bidders in the bid invitation and also a notification when I make changes to the bid Invitation - How and where do I configure the message
2) Post a notification on a portal
3) Print the bid Invitation with all the attributes (to bidders who cannot respond electronicaly), so that the same can be posted to the vendor and then the purchase can perform surrogate bidding.

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 attributes and weighting function

Attributes are transferring to Weighting section. This did not haqppen in the past.
During bid invitation creation the dynamic attributes that are used are
automatically transferred to the weighting function. Along with this
there is a message that is displayed "Specify the parameters of
weighting function". This never happened in the past before
implementing ECC 6 Enhancement pack 5, SAP_BASIS Component: Support
Pack 7 for 7.02, and SAP Kernel: 720 patch 115.
I found note 1662288 but it is applicable to server 701 and 702. Our
server is 550.

Bid Invitation - Technical and Economic offer

Dear consultants,
The process to determine the winner bids in my client is the following:
The bidders are asked to send two envelopes, one with the Technical solution and another one with the Economic offer.
Once the End date for bidding is reached, the technical solutions of each vendor are opened and it is defined which of them are OK or not to continue in the process. Until this point the prices must not be known by the purchasers or anyone in the company.
For those that are OK, the Economical Enveolope are open and the winner bid is defined by price.
Can you suggest me a way to implement it? Is any standard funcionality?
Thanks
Ezequiel

Hi,
You requirement is best sutied in SRM 7.0 -PPS (Procurement for public sector)
in the SRM 7.0 - Activate the Business function for PPS in SPRO.
You can use the standard functions like
1) Tender Fees payment thro Payment gateway -customization to be done.
2) EMD fees payment
3) Pulbishing the Bid .
4)Receiving the bid from the Bidder
5) Processing the Bids ,
a) Technical opening of the bid on the date
b) Price Bid opening on the date
6) 4 eye Principle can be adopted
7) price Comparision
8) final p.O (or) contract awarded to the vendor

Bid invitations output

Hi experts
I would like to know if bid invitations (restrict and public) can be sent to SUS via XML?
I configurated it but when I save the bid the syssten not send it to SUS but the log is sent with success, when I go to SUS as supplier bider I can't see bid invitation.
Concening output by e-mail with URL for reply, where I can set this URL, I tested and the e-mails are sent but the URL is wrong, no access possoble>
Thanks
Nilson

Hello Nilson,
Bid invitations are stored in the SRM-EBP and not sent to SRM-SUS. You can configure 3 types of logon access to Bid.
A. With SAP NetWeaver Portal
B: SUS is the logon interface for supplier and SRM-SUS has a menu like "Process Bid" which is liked to SRM-EBP. When user select the menu Single Sign On works to SRM-EBP.
C: Usually PO handing and Bid handling person are different in supplier side. In this case you can provide 2 different logon interface for SRM-EBP and SRM-SUS.
The URL in the email is generated based on EXT_ITS attributes in the PPOMA_BBP. You can also change the URL by BADI BBP_CHANGE_URL.

Masa

The sender of the bid invitation

Hi gurus,
     Why the sender of the bid invitation to the suppliers turns to the approver after the bid invitation has been released. how to change to the creator of the bid invitation?
      I mean the email.
      thank you very much.

Hi wang,
There are two ways a bidder can receive / send his bid. One is via mail and the other by looging into portal using his own user i.d & password provided by the purchaser.
As mentioned by Yeu Sheng Teo the bidder gets a mail whenever a bid invitation is sent to him / her.
He then logs on to portal with his user i.d & password and selects the bid invitation and submits his bid which the purchaser can access using Process Bid Invitation link and the status against the particular bidder shows a bid submitted under Bidder / Bids tab.
You maintain the contact person for bidder / vendor using personal data tab in Manage Business Partners link.There you choose employee as contact person and maintain User i.d & password and communicate the same to vendor / bidder.
Hope this makes you more clear.

Standard process for PO creation from Bid Invitation or Bid

Hi everybody,
I would like to know what is the standard process to create local Purchase Order (i mean in a extended classic scenario) from Bid Invitation or Quotation.
In the current process, Bid Invitation are created form Shopping Cart using Sourcing Cockpit. Then, Purchaser will send its Bid to supplier (by publishing Bid Invitation) using BBP_BID_INV transaction.
Then, supplier will submit its Bid.
At this step, what it is the standard process (does it exist ?) to create a Purchase Order linked to this Bid ?
The need is to have a PO as follow-on document to Bid.
Thank you to clarify this point.
Regards.
Laurent Burtaire.

Hi,
After the bids are submitted and when the bid invitation opening date arrives, there will be a map for you to compare the bids received.
To see this map, go to BBP_BID_INV transaction and the map will be there when you search your document.
When you click on this map, you will find one column for each of the companies that sent quotations.
You can click on the company's name and then you need to click on button 'Accept', in order to accept the company's quotation.
Then you click on 'Refresh'.
Then you click on 'Create Purchase Order' or 'Create Contract'.
In order for that to happen, you must have defined number ranges and document types for bid invitation, quotation and purchase order.
Let me know if it helped.

Henrique

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
<b>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.</b>
Let me know incase you face any issues.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points, incase it suits your requirements.

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.

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

Bid Invitation and Bid Links From cFolders to SRM

Hello Guys:
Currently I have configured the SRM and cFolder integration and everything is working fine, the exception are the links that are automatically generated by the system to go from the collaboration room back to the SRM system.
1.- If I click the Bid Invitation link (the one on the upper left corner) the link that is generated has this format:
http://<Host Name>:<Port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpstart?BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=49A9E5D51768482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
I Think this link is correct, but the new window opens SRM in the bbpstart transaction instead of the Bid Invitation the link is referring to.
2.- When a Bidder creates a Bid in SRM and creates its corresponding Bid in cFolders, the system creates a link automatically a link in cFolders to the Bid in SRM. the link has the following value:
BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=499CE2E1526D482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
But when I try to open the link I receive a "Error Business Server Page (BSP)" Error in a new window. I tried to look for DUMPS but nothing is generated in SRM.
The SRM and the cFolders are on the same instance.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem??
Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

Hi Ganesh,
In Employee Self Service tab we have POWL table view where list of Shopping Cart number are available,right?
In this screen we have "Shop"/"Display"/"Edit"/"Print Preview" buttons.
My issue is when i click on "Display" or "Edit" button it's opening the Portal Home Page, i.e. the First page we are getting after login to Portal.
In the Manager tab we are also getting the same issue..when we are clicking on any of Work items it is redirecting to Home Page..also "Resubmit" and "Forward Button" is a doing the same thing...
hope you'll be now able to understand the issue....
Experts please help...badly stuck in this issue..

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.

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.
