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

  • Bid invitation output related

    Hi guys,
    I am able to send the bid invitation to the bidders.The output medium is email.It sends the bid invitation in .pdf format. (we have implemented a smartform)
    Requirement is:can we send it in say word or excel format instead if .pdf?
    Reason being,the bidder can download the form, enter required information in the word or excel doc and email it back.
    Any solution/bright ideas?Please share your inputs.
    Thanks
    Trey

    Thanks,guys!
    Wow Masa! That was great.
    Should have been clearer.We are implementing <u>surrogate bidding</u> functionality. The bidder will get the bid invitation by email.
    Our requirement is here: if the bid invitation can be sent in word or excel format, the bidder can download and save the bid invitation on the local system, fill out the invitation and submit the bid via email back to the buyer.
    Hence,the word/excel is needed so that the bidder can edit/modify it on the local system(there is no acrobat writer with the bidders:-))
    Can you elaborate on 1 and 4,please?
    Thanks a lot.
    Points will be awarded surely!

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Abdul

    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.

  • 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

  • SMART FORM BID INVITATION

    Hi All,
                        I am working on SRM I got a requirement to modify a standard smartform BBP_BID_INVITATION.  Now the problem is where can I configure the settings?
                         I configured my frm in BBP_PO_ACTION_DEF transaction. But when I execute the bid invitation its not triggering my form. Its displaying the standard form itself.
                      If any body knows please suggest me.
                                                                  thanks.

    Hi
    In SAP Mm module we generally copy the Std Form (MEDRUCK for PO/RFQ) to some ZFORM and do the changes and then we aill attach in  NACE tcode for the Output type and driver program and then execute the same output from ME9F (PO) and ME9A (RFQ)  transactions
    In SRM is it same or differnt ? check.

  • 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 not automatically sending change notification email

    Hello,
    I have the folowing issue with the email output bid invitations in SRM 5.
    In Define actions for document output I set BBP_PD_BID to Processing when saving document.  This work fine for new Bid Invitations, but when I make a changes after publishing no new output is generated for change notifications.
    When I manually select 'Inform bidders and send out bids', the origional email is re-output and not the change version of the smartfotm text ('We would like to draw your attention to the'..... and not "The following bid invitation has been changed")
    Is the auto output of change notifications for bid invitation standard?  I though it was as I saw it set up in a different system.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Kyle

    Thanks for your reply.  I am aware of the custom smartform functionality. 
    It looks like the auto output is not standard as per this sap help page:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/a7/81b463611c124d8c9d2c5bd8d17b34/content.htm
    When I saw auto output of changes before before it must have been an enhancement.

    Hi,
        In SPRO -> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Set Output Actions and Output Format -> Define Actions for Document Output.
    In this for Bid Invitation (BBP_PD_BID) action profile in action defintion Processing time we have chagned from "Processing from selection report " to "Processing when saving document".
    Then mails are getting generated automatically.Also you need to have the SCOT settings in place for the mails.

    Hi
    Which SRM / SUS version are you using ?
    You can create a Bid Inv in SAP EBP from the SC item. You do not set up Bidding Engine separately. It is part of EBP, you just need to enable the Sourcing/Bidding transactions, Assign Roles and Authorizations.
    It is LAC, SUS, CCM, those are setup separately.
    Bids are created in SRM Bidding Engine (ABAP part). If you don't want to use SRM Bidding Engine, then you should use the DPE scenario where the RFQ is not created in SRM but in your external Sourcing tool (Exostar).
    This scenario is still present in SRM 4.0 or 5.0 (even if not intented to a futur extension).
    You will trigger this RFQ export manually from Sourcing Cockpit, except if you have customized "automatic creation of bid invitation for items without source of supply" in SPRO --> SRM --> Sourcing --> Define Sourcing for Product Categories (this option is not available in EBP 3.5, thats' why I was asking about your SRM release).

    The bid invitation creation service is bbp_bid_inv.
    Please look at following thread:
    Email to Vendor and Creator while creating PO
    Run report RSWUWFMLEC to convert work items to mail. In transaction SCOT you can send it to preffered vendors.

  • Bid invitation email content text modification

    Hi Srm Gurus,
        I have  copied and modified the smart form bbp_output_cover for bid invitation (which has the email text and is sent as an email to vendors)...i need to know where i have to specify the form name in configuration .
       we are not supposed to enter the form name in define actions ....becoz this form is sending only the email notification to the vendors ...not the application document.
        i had implemented the badi BBP_CHANGE_SF_BID to change the form name
       Even then  system takes the std form name.
    please help me out.
    Points will be awarded
    Thanks,
    Radha

    Hello Radha,
    If you are using the  program "rsppfprocess" to send the outputs, then you have to customize the settings in the trasaction SPPFCADM. Please maintain the settings/changes and check again.
    Hope your problem got solved...
