Bid Invitations & Statement of Award

Hi All,
I am not a functional guy but I need this information to pull the info into BW. We have a Bidding engine or Bid Invitations which is currently being configured.
The "Statement of Award" is something which is granted to the vendors provided the bid engine shortlists them as a winner. ( This is mostly done in govt. agencies).
The Statement of Award has fields like:
Solicitation
Issue Date
Opening Date
Description
Awarded to (Vendor)
Evaluated Amount
Total Potential Value
Contract Number
Maximum Contract Period
Item
Description
etc...
I would like to know what are the SAP tables which would hold all the above fields which are relevant to Statement of Award.
Thank you.

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.

Multiple Insert in Doc Save Badi when publishing Bid Invitation

Hi to all experts,
Currently i need to track changes in bid invitation. What i did is using doc save badi to get the value (bbp_bd_bid_getdetail) and compare them with the value i save in a cutom table.
Then the problem come in. Even if there is no changes, the badi will still cause an insert into my custom table. I used the debugger to go through the code and it never go to my insert statement.
However once i finishing running the dubugger, my custom table will have a new entry...
Why is this happening? IS it due to the different GUID in the bid invitaion?
Points will be awarded generaously, thanks again for reading.

Hi Disha and Marcin,
Thank you so much for your prompt replies. I have awarded points. We are using SRM 5.5.
Correct me if I am wrong, I have thought of using the doc_change badi but how do I confirm the changes should user cancel the transaction?
Hi Marcin,
I am new to this term LUW, please elaborate more on this.I have checked and confirm no other program or badi called my function modules.
I have suspected that the badi was called n-times and insert a line into my custom tables. I tried using modify in place of insert so that such problem can be avoided but this was not successful with saving longtext.
What I notice is after the system undergo a patch, the doc save badi started to behave in this way?
Please kindly advise, all SAP experts! Thank you!

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.

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 ->

Buffer Table Not Up To Date Short Dump When Publishing Change Version of Bid Invitation

Hi experts,
We are running SRM 5.5 with Support Level 16.
We have a bid invitation for which a user is trying to publish a Change Version. This bid contains two bid outlines, with one line item in each bid outline:
ITEM 1: HIER (Bid Outline)
ITEM 2: Line Item
ITEM 3: HIER (Bid Outline)
ITEM 4: Line Item
However, upon clicking on the Check or Publish button, the system throws a CX_BBP_PD_ABORT exception short dump. The reason for the exception given in ST22 is "Buffer table not up to date".
Due to organisational system security restrictions, I am unable to copy-paste the dump from ST22, so I will be typing out some of the details here.
Transaction: BBP_BID_INV
Program: SAPLBBP_PDH
Screen: SAPLBBP_BID_INV_1000
Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLBBP_PDH" - in "BBP_PD_ABORT". The main program was "SAPLBBP_BID_INV".
In the source code you have the termination point in line 73.
Active Calls/Events
(formatted below as "No: Type: Name")
24: Function: BBP_PD_ABORT
23: Form: ABORT
22: Form: ITMADM_UPDATE

5: Form: FCODE_DOCUMENT_CHECK
4: Form: FCODE
3: Function: BBP_BID_PROCESS
2: Form: PROCESS
1: Module (PAI): PROCESS
The ABORT subroutine is being called in Step 22 (ITMADM_UPDATE), at the following line:
* parent guids have to be identical ...
if gt_itmadm-parent <> w_itmadm-parent.
perform abort.
endif.
Upon tracing the variable values in the ST22 dump, it appears the program terminates when processing line 3 (i.e. the second Bid Outline). It appears that the first Bid Outline processes fine.
In the iteration for Line 3, the dump provides that gt_itmadm-parent contains the GUID to the Change Version document header, whereas w_itmadm-parent contains the GUID to the original Bid Invitation document header, resulting in a mismatch and subsequently program termination.
We have tried to replicate this bid invitation in our Development environment, but when executing, both gt_itmadm-parent and w_itmadm-parent contain GUIDs to the Change Version document header, hence the program does not abort.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Janu,
For Note 1561750, I have looked at the Correction Details and observed that it makes changes to an IF-ELSE block, but will result in the same path of code execution as before. I.e., the Note changes the code from "IF a THEN b, ELSE c" to just "c", but according to my code trace, we are already executing the "ELSE c" block in its current state.
We will look further into Note 1877600. The unfortunate situation here is that since we are unable to replicate this issue in our Development/QA environment, and the Note description does not explicitly fit the situation we are facing, we need to be very sure that the Note can address the issue before bringing it into Production.
Otherwise, we will raise a message as suggested.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best regards,

Hello Manil,
this is because for transaction type concerned (linked to transaction category BUS2202 - Supplier Quote), an event schema is customized (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Define Transaction Types)
This event schema (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Event and Event Schema for Alert Management > Define Event Schema) has the event SUBMITTED.
If you do not want any longer this event to be triggered, create a new specific event schema (based on the standard one), but without this event.
Then, assign this new schema to the concerned transaction type instead of the standard one.
For notification (event category "Message"), mail layout is managed in standard by smartforms BBP_OUT_EXCEPTION.
Regards.

Error when create bid invitation (Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid)

Dear All ,
We have issue in our PDP scenario, when creating a bid invitation from a PR (from R/3), an error occured with message" Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid".
I already raise an oss message and the reply is because the system take different company code that's not active in R/3 system. Its because TAXD procedure is assign to country DE (German) and company 0001 country is "DE".
BE_STGE_LOC 9114
BE_PLANT 7008
BE_BATCH
BE_VAL_TYPE
BE_MOVE_REAS 0000
BE_EXPERYDATE
BE_PUR_GROUP
BE_PUR_ORG

CALL FUNCTION 'FI_COMPANY_CODE_DATA'
EXPORTING
I_BUKRS = BUCHUNGSKREIS
IMPORTING
E_T001 = T001.
We wonder how the system assign company code 0001 with plant 7008, since in R/3 Plant 7008 is assign to company code 8008.
The company code 0001 is not active in our R/3 system.
And also its not happen for all document , so just for several document, and not just in this plant (7008).
The OSS reply also mention that the company chages is because this badi
implementation ZBBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI with object type 'BUS2121' method 'BBP_SC_CHANGE' 'Method for Changing Shopping Carts'
======================================================
Assign the appropriate company code and modify the ET_ITEM table
ls_item-be_co_code = ls_locmap-company_code.
MODIFY et_item FROM ls_item.
======================================================
But we already use this badi for several years, and we're not sure that this badi id the root cause,and until now there still no solution for this issue.
Please kindly advise.

Hi SG,
In SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Cross Application Basic Settings > Tax Calculation
1.Determine system for tax caluclation : Choose either no tax calculation or Tax calculation occurs in back end.
2. Enter Tax code : Mention Tax indicator as I0 and tax description Zero Tax, Check the No Tax check box and make it default based on your requirement.
Please follow the above steps based on your requirement which will definitely resolve your issue.
This issue comes when the tax calculation happens in the SRM system and the tax code I0 is not defined in tax procedure TAXD.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

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.
Award points for helpful answers.

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...

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!

CFolders Link in Bid Invitation

Hi,
I am creating a collaboration in Bidding Invitation in SRM, a Collaboration link is established in bid invitation.
When i follow this link it should lead to the cFolders in client 300.
We have cFolders in both client 100 and 300
I have defined client 300 in my external alias and determined the apllication URL in cFolders
The issue is when I Click the collaboration link it is redirecting to client 100 and giving an error Object of type collaboration no longer exists. This is because the collaborating is geeting created in Client 300 (RFC destination is client 300)
Even though the URL consists of external alias it is redirecting to client 100
Is there any client specific settings required

Dear Subramanya
This may be because client 100 might be your default client.
When you create an external alias ( TCode: SICF ) you have an option to give logon details. pl give clnt 300 there and check.
