Bid Opening Date Removal

SRM Experts:
We currently use SRM 5.0 but will be upgrading eventually to 7.0
The Bid Opening Date can be removed after the RFx is Published. This allows users to see the Bids that have been submitted. This is a problem for us and our Auditors don't like it.
Is there a way to prevent the Opening Date from being removed after the RFx is Published?
Thanks
Troy.

Hi,
How about hiding the opening date field in RFX UI? So Purchaser can not specify the opening date.
You can hide fields by customizing in SRM 7.0.
You can also inplement BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and clear the opening date field.
Info:
Date fields in FRx:
- Start Date
- Submission Deadline
- Opening Date
- End of Bidding period

Allow certain users to capture quotation after bid end date

Hi
Is it possible to allow certain users to be able to capture quotation on behalf of suppliers using surrogate bid after the end date has been reached but before the opening date? How would I do this?
Regards

Hi
As the end date and opening date are at the header level common to all bidders/vendors, we cannot manually capture quotation for specific suppliers using surrogate bidding. I dont think there is even a BADI for this.

Error when opening Data Form

Hi All,
Also I have tried by removing access for that user and opened the Dta Form but still it throwing me the same error:
You are trying to open the data form, but cannot because all of the required dimensions are not present. Possible causes may be that you do not have access to at least one member of a required dimension, or the member selection resulted in no members present. Contact your administrator

Difference between SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and Open data set mechanism

Can you please help me to know the difference between moving a file using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" and moving file using "open data set - transfer file- close data set" mechanism?

Through 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' u can execute a External command (ie.. UNIX /Windows/OS/400) In ABAP programming..
for Conversion Of Aplication server File/Move the file from one directory to Other...
The Command must be present in SM69.
Using this function module'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' , you can check the authorization of a user to execute a particular external command and run the command:
With the arguments specified in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS
On the target host system defined by OPERATINGSYSTEM and TARGETSYSTEM
If an SAP profile parameter is inserted in the portion of the command stored in the database, then the value of this parameter is substituted into the command. If an SAP application server is active on the target system (TARGETSYSTEM), then the profile parameter values are read from the profile that is active on that system. No parameter substitution is made in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS.
After substitution, the command is checked for the presence of "dangerous" characters such as the semicolon ( ; ) on UNIX systems.
If an additional "security function module" is specified in the command definition, this function module is also called in the course of processingebenfalls. This function module can prevent execution of the command.
If the authorization checks complete successfully, the command is run on the target host system.
Through Open Data Set u can read and write the file in the same directory...
Thnaks,
SD

Need a fix for the 'folder last opened date'

I have been using Hazel [from www.noodlesoft.com] to set the colours of recently opened or modified files to make them easier to spot.
Within Hazel, I have set rules to monitor files contained in a named folder (and sub-folders contained therein) so I can visually spot what I have recently been working on. The rules achieve this by setting the label colours of:
• files worked on in the last 2 days to 'Green'
• unless already set to 'Green', files worked on in the last 7 days to 'Blue'
• unless already set to 'Green' or 'Blue', files worked on in the last 14 days to 'Purple'
• remove label colours for all files labelled 'Purple', 'Green' or 'Blue' that were last worked on over 14 days ago
Hazels works very well and achieves the effect I am after for files contained in that folder and its sub-folders. No problems there.
The problem I have is in defining a similar scheme of rules to apply to FOLDERS using a rule in Hazel to set the colour of a folder (or sub-folder) by reference to the date on which a folder was last opened.
For some reason, Finder does NOT update the last opened date for a folder. In fact, I have discovered (by painstakingly getting information a folder at a time) that a number of folders have date anomalies like the example below:
Date created: 4 Sep 2006
Modified date: today [which is correct as I deleted a file from in this folder]
Date opened: 31 Oct 2006 [which ignores that fact I had to open the folder today to delete the file...]
Any ideas on what could be going wrong here? Or more to the point, how I can fix this? I have run Disk Utility and using Onyx, ensured all three maintenance scripts have been run.
Any thoughts?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I am going to have to abandon Firefox and go back to IE. The fact that there has been no response is extremely disheartening. I am quite sure there is some malware involved and don't want to risk ID theft. This kind of problem should be the #1 concern for a browser company. I have regrets because I like Firefox otherwise and think it superior to the other browsers on the market including IE. C'est la vie.

Update an attribute's Min. & Max. Attribute value after opening date

Hi
We have created an attribute 'projected price' on a bid invitation. The minimum and maximum attribute values will only be known after all bids have been submitted. So we need to populate the minimum and maximum attribute values after the opening date before running the evaluation report. Any assistance on how we could do this will be appreciatted.
Regards

I've managed to solve this by doing the following.
1) Get the items on the Bid Invitation
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PROCDOC_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
 I_GUID = ip_guid
 I_OBJECT_TYPE = 'BUS2200'
IMPORTING
 E_HEADER = ls_header
 ET_ATTACH = lt_attach
 ET_CONDITIONS = lt_conditions
 ET_DYN_ATTR = lt_dyn_attr
TABLES
 E_ITEM = rt_items.
2) Get all the weightings for these items.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PDWGT_GETDETAIL'
 EXPORTING
 i_p_guid = ip_guid
 i_p_kind = 'B'
 i_object_type = 'BUS2200001'
 tables
 e_weight = rt_weights.
3) Then updated the specific attributes values.
DATA: lt_x_weight TYPE bbpt_pds_weight_ic,
 ls_weight TYPE bbp_pds_weight_ic,
 lt_y_weight TYPE bbpt_pds_weight_ic.
CLEAR ls_weight.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ls_weight
 FROM bbp_pdwgt WHERE guid = ip_guid.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
 EXIT.
ENDIF.
APPEND ls_weight TO lt_y_weight.
ls_weight-value_amount1 = ip_min.
ls_weight-value_amount2 = ip_max.
ls_weight-kz = 'U'.
APPEND ls_weight TO lt_x_weight.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PDWGT_DB_UPDATE'
 TABLES
 i_x_weight = lt_x_weight
 i_y_weight = lt_y_weight.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
 COMMIT WORK.
ENDIF.

Can not open data grids or run reports in HFM

Hi
We created an application and have been working in it for weeks without any issues. Just recently once we open the app, we can longer open data grids or run financial grids. The system just hangs and we do not get an error message. Has anyone experienced this? We are wondering if it is a space issue on one of the data base tables.

Hello,
I would start by checking with your DBA to see if you have any issues with table space. Next, i would log onto the HFM servers and see if you have any errors being recorded in the Application Event View. If you do have errors in your Event Viewer, can you please post them?
Thanks

What is open data set and close data set

what is open data set and close data set,
how to use the files in sap directories ?

hi,
Open Dataset is used to read or write on to application server ... other than that i am not sure that there exists any way to do the same ... here is a short description for that
FILE HANDLING IN SAP
Introduction
Files on application server are sequential files.
Files on presentation server / workstation are local files.
A sequential file is also called a dataset.
Handling of Sequential file
Three steps are involved in sequential file handling
OPEN
PROCESS
CLOSE
Here processing of file can be READING a file or WRITING on to a file.
OPEN FILE
Before data can be processed, a file needs to be opened.
After processing file is closed.
Syntax:
OPEN DATASET <file name> FOR {OUTPUT/INPUT/APPENDING}
IN {TEXT/BINARY} MODE
This statement returns SY_SUBRC as 0 for successful opening of file or 8, if unsuccessful.
OUTPUT: Opens the file for writing. If the dataset already exists, this will place the cursor at the start of the dataset, the old contents get deleted at the end of the program or when the CLOSE DATASET is encountered.
INPUT: Opens a file for READ and places the cursor at the beginning of the file.
FOR APPENDING: Opens the file for writing and places the cursor at the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is generated.
BINARY MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will be character wise. Each time n characters are READ or transferred. The next READ or TRANSFER will start from the next character position and not on the next line.
IN TEXT MODE: The READ or TRANSFER will start at the beginning of a new line each time. If for READ, the destination is shorter than the source, it gets truncated. If destination is longer, then it is padded with spaces.
Defaults: If nothing is mentioned, then defaults are FOR INPUT and in BINARY MODE.
PROCESS FILE:
Processing a file involves READing the file or Writing on to file TRANSFER.
TRANSFER Statement
Syntax:
TRANSFER <field> TO <file name>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each transfer statement writes a statement to the dataset. In binary mode, it writes the length of the field to the dataset. In text mode, it writes one line to the dataset.
If the file is not already open, TRANSFER tries to OPEN file FOR OUTPUT (IN BINARY MODE) or using the last OPEN DATASET statement for this file.
IF FILE HANDLING, TRANSFER IS THE ONLY STATEMENT WHICH DOES NOT RETURN SY-SUBRC
READ Statement
Syntax:
READ DATASET <file name> INTO <field>.
<Field> can also be a field string / work area / DDIC structure.
Each READ will get one record from the dataset. In binary mode it reads the length of the field and in text mode it reads each line.
CLOSE FILE:
The program will close all sequential files, which are open at the end of the program. However, it is a good programming practice to explicitly close all the datasets that were opened.
Syntax:
CLOSE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the CLOSE is successful or not.
DELETE FILE:
A dataset can be deleted.
Syntax:
DELETE DATASET <file name>.
SY-SUBRC will be set to 0 or 8 depending on whether the DELETE is successful or not.
Pseudo logic for processing the sequential files:
For reading:
Open dataset for input in a particular mode.
Start DO loop.
Read dataset into a field.
If READ is not successful.
Exit the loop.
Endif.
Do relevant processing for that record.
End the do loop.
Close the dataset.
For writing:
Open dataset for output / Appending in a particular mode.
Populate the field that is to be transferred.
TRANSFER the filed to a dataset.
Close the dataset.

Period open date in FA_DEPRN_PERIODS

I want to know what controls period open date and close in FA_DEPRN_PERIODS
table. We have first open period (JAN-02) for year 2002 from '02/27/2002' and
now we have some depriciation transaction for this year (2002) before this
date.
So when we are running Journal Entry Reserve ledger Report for this year then
those transaction are not matching showing up because they are before
'02/27/2002'. So can I update period open date to early date or what is the
impact on system.

Did you refer note 1061798.1
If this note didn't help you,
let us know the version also let us know if the GL period is ever used.

w_file = p_file.
select .... statement
OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
*OPEN DATASET fname FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
LOOP AT t_... INTO fs_....
write:/ .....
TRANSFER fs_... TO fname.
or

Open data extraction orders - Applying Support Packs

Dear All,
I have done the IDES 4.6C SR2 installation.
While updating the support packs, i get the message saying
CHECK_REQUIREMENTS phase.
Open data extraction orders
There are still open data extraction orders in the system
process these before the start of the object import because changes to the ABAP Dictionary structures could lead to data extraction orders not being able to be read after the import and their processing terminating
For more details about this problem, see Note 328181.
Go to the Customizing cockpit for data extraction and start the processing of all open extraction orders.
I have checked the Note.
But this is something m facing for the first time.
Any suggestion!!!
Rgds,
NK

The exact message is :
Phase CHECK_REQUIREMENTS: Explanation of the Errors
Open Data Extraction Requests
The system has found a number of open data extraction requests. These
should be processed before starting the object import process, as
changes to DDIC structures could prevent data extraction requests from
being read after the import, thus causing them to terminate. You can
find more information about this problem in SAP Note 328181.
Call the Customizing Cockpit data extraction transaction and process all
open extraction requests.

Hi,
Due to serveral reasons
1. Check whether you have proper authority in the directory?
2. check the whether any files with same name?
3. use addition message in the open dataset statement so that you can know the system message it getting.
DATA: msg(100).
OPEN DATASET wa_BSEG_file FOR OUTPUT MESSAGE msg
IN TEXT MODE Encoding default.
