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

734946
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

Hi Sundeep,
This problem looks to be a program error. SAP suggest few notes for the account assignment errors. However i could not found out any relation for this error w.r.t commodity code.
The related OSS notes are as under :
Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end
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.
Please let us know the outcome for further 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

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.

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.

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

Bid invitations are not going to Vendors

Hi,
We create BId invitations, but vendors are not recieving these invitations. We created contact persons and maintained vendor email address and everthing is working fine till last week. we got compalin that not recieving any Bid Invitation emails this week.
When we see T-code SOST, all vendor email address are showing in Greena and saying everything went fine...can some one tell me where could be the problem...and where to check.
If it didn't go to one vendor i can understand there is problem from vendor side...none of the vendors getting BId Invitation emails...
Thanks,
Ravi

Ravi,
To me it sounds like your SMTP server problem.
Here is a test you can do to confirm that to your mail folks.
Go to SO01 transaction and send yourself a test mail. In the recipient list use internet and use a external mail account (yahoo or gmail etc). Then check in SOST that mail has been sent. Then check if you receive that email to your external account. Do the above steps for your company internal address and check. That should tell you if the external emails are blocked on SMTP server.

How to create a link to open an existing bid invitation?

Hello everyone,
I created a custom web transaction that displays some bid invitation information. I need to create a link that opens the same bid invitation in transaction BBP_BID_INV.
When I used "CALL TRANSACTION", I got the SAP GUI version. I need to get the bid invitation opened in Web Version (service BBP_BID_INV).
Your help is appreciated,
Abdullah Azzouni

Hello Marcin,
Well, I'm using this function module to display certain information users will need. Some users would like to be able to access the existing Bid Invitation transaction in order to change some information. This is why I need a link in my custom transaction to do that.
It would make more sense to call the existing transaction BBP_BID_INV. I could call it at the moment, but I get the SAP GUI version. I need the web version.

Abdullah

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
