Bidding Engine & Firewall or other Security measure?
Hi Friends,
SUS has the benefit that it exchanges messages with SRM-Server via XML messages. So we can place a firewall in between to keep hackers out.
Bidding Engine techically is placed within SRM-Server. So easier for hackers to attack our systems.
I have seen there are some Enterprise Services for RFX and RFX-respose too. Is there a way to place a copy of SRM-Server remotely and use it as bidding engine communicating with the SRM-Server (same was as done with SUS) so that we place a firewall in between too? Or are there other security measures to secure public access to our bidding engine?
Thanks and greetings, Julian
John
First of all with out having user ID and password it is not possible for bidders to enter SRM system to submit bids. So Business partners have to be created in SRM with contact person(Bidder) details.
You can try one thing. It is just my thought and I dont know how far it will be viable. I never tried.
Create a dummy business partner(vendor) in SRM and create many contact persons ie one for each vendor with their ID/password and email address. Then select all vendors(like receiving multiple bids from same vendor) and send the bid invitation.
Bidders will login and submit the bids. Then buyer will see the bids from all vendors (actually from one vendor but with different contact persons).
Then buyer can decide on the winning bid and then create a business partner for the winning bid and continue with the purchase activities.
With this you can avoid creating many business partners at the time of creating bid invitations.
Other alternative is, if you dont want to create ID and passwords for Bidders then send tender details to all vendors off line via e-mail and ask them to send the price to Buyer offline.

My Facebook was hacked and as I only access it through my iPhone 4 or my iPad is there any other security measures I can take to prevent this happening. I have the latest software updates.

I am wondering if someone had my password could they access my computer remotely and turn off my security measures and then turn them back on....or does that require physical possession?
No unless they knew the internet ip address of the LAN your mac is connected to and then only if you allowed internet sharing and remote management and remote login.
They would also have to know the private ip addres of your mac on that LAN and have the internet router forword packets to that ip address.
There are so many factors involved for this to happen it is very unlikely.
But if someone has physical access to your mac and installed something on it to allow all those things then it is possible but unlikely.

Multiple Signatures on Large Plan Sets? - Open to Other Security Measures
Good afternoon,
I'm looking for a way to circulate large plan sets to three reviewers for digital signature. The PDFs are, and must remain, formatted to clearly print at 24''x36''. As some plan sets are 12+ pages, this is too large to pass along through our email.
We do our plan review through an online portal, where each department marks up the PDF, exports comments as FDF, and then the case manager imports all comments into one PDF. I'd prefer to find a solution for signing plans using this portal too, but I imagine it will have to be done offline and then uploaded.
I'm also open to any other solutions for locking and securing an approved document. If not a signature, maybe a timestamp or watermark on each page? Anything more secure than a simple stamp that can so easily be altered.Good afternoon,

Uv markers or other security measures?
Does anybody have any experience with marking MBP computers with things like UV markers? It is in general accepted in the UK to do so as it helps the police when they recover stolen goods.
reason I ask is that I read that some of these markers are not relay invisible and others might damage the aluminium body of the MBP.
Any tips or experience?anybody?

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!
AndreaHi,
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.

Price Comparision in Bidding Engine
Hi Experts,
While price comparision in bidding engine , our requirement is to take into picture all price elements (for ex. gross price,discount/surcharge, freight, p& F charges, custom duty , excise, cess,sales tax(indian tax structure,etc..)
There are also some price elements which will be entered by purchaser himself based on some questions/answers with bidders. For example, there is one condition from purchaser that if bidder fails to deliver goods on delivery date , bidder will be charged fine of .5% of base price. If bidder does not agree with this condition, purchser will add 1% of base price to the price offered by vendor at time of price comparision.
We are using classic scenario.
Please let me know how to map all these in system.
Thanks & Regards,
VHPHi,
Price comparison for the bid is calculated based on the initial price and taxes.
It will not compare the condition for the delivery date for each bidder because you do not know whether the bidder will supply
the component as per delivery date before the bidding. So you have to take the maximum % and create a condition record and
then compare the same

Supplier Collaboration with SRM Bidding Engine
Hi All,
I'm looking at the SAP BIdding Engine with regards to supplier collaboration in the bidding process, my undertsanding is that SUS can be used for a single point of access for suppliers to submit their bids. I also understand that cFolders can be used to allow true collaboration in the bidding process i.e. review of bid, submit prices etc.
I have four questions around these scenarios
1. For collaboration in the sourcing process which is superior cFolders integration or SUS?
2. What is the advantages of SUS over cFolders in the sourcing process.
3. Could you use both products?
4. Can cFolders be used to pose questions from the supplier? i.e. a true sourcing process would usually be:
RFI > Supplier Info response > RFQ > Supplier pricing response
Cheers
Chris1. Both has diff purposes. C-folder purpose is information exchange in terms of drgs, attachments, discussion etc.
so kind of technical exchange
whereas SUS forms common window for suppliers for collaberating with buyer co. for BI they can submit the price & conditions.
So kind of commercial exchange.
Superiority depends on the perspective
2. SUS you can use for odercollaberation also
i.e. for PO/SA from MM or EBP ,suppliers can
send responce
send ASN
post confirmation
post invoice
3. Yes

Bidding Engine in Classic Scenario
We are implementing SRM7 with Bidding Engine. According to this forum it is possible now to use Direct Procurement (Plan-Driven Procurement) in both Classic and Extended Classic scenario.
However, according to SAP, Bidding Engine can only be used in Extended Classic scenario - is this correct? Can someone please confirm as we are looking to use a Classic Scenario with Direct Procurement and Bidding Engine. Requirement is to have both Project procurement (requisitions from ERP) and shopping cart in SRM, going to Sourcing (RFQ/Bid), and creating the leading PO in ERP, not SRM.Hello Monica
Bidding is possible both in Classic and Extended classic deployements
As of SRM7.0, you can directcly route the PRs (projects/MRP) from ECC to create a RFx in Bidding Engine. You will need activate the relevant SOA service and a BADI to be activated.
Following information may helps you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Implementing BaDI for RFQ Request SUITE Request
In order to use the SOA RFQRequestSUITERequest message, you have to
implement the BaDI named BBP_EBPXML_OUT_BADI. Please create a BaDI
implementation for the interface: REQUESTFORQUOTE with the following
code:
METHOD if_ex_bbp_ebpxml_out_badi~requestforquote.
use SOA system type to get the SOA interface
from bbp_function_map.
cv_system_type = 'ESASAPXML1'.
ENDMETHOD.

AGPM 4.0 SP2 Editors cannot open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" area of a GPO
When attempting to Edit a checked-out GPO in AGPM, & navigating to "Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - LDAP://CN...." Editors
get:
"There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in
An error occurred while trying to open the policy.
Error: The system cannot find the path specified
Code 0x3"
This happens with GPOs that existed prior to AGPM install where the GPO was "controlled", and with new Controlled GPOs created within AGPM. A workaround is to grant the user Full Control within AGPM (and have them re-launch Group Policy Management
MMC via Shift right-click "Run as different user"), but this circumvents the Change Control we are attempting to use AGPM for. Any ideas of how to fix this, or how to file a bug report?
Also, changes made to Incoming Firewall rules do not show up in the AGPM Settings or Differences reports. I'd imagine this is related to the known issue described on the Release Notes page here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458958.aspxHi Fabian - Thanks for the response. I checked & the AGPM Server is on a subnet that was not mapping to any AD Site. Based on its subnet/location, it actually should be in the same Site as the PDCe. I added a new Subnet definition to
AD & waited until "nltest /dsgetsite" was reporting the correct Site on the AGPM Server. Now, with just Editor role, I can access the Advanced Firewall area of a checked out GPO from my AGPM Client, which is correctly in a different AD Site.
I think this might have solved it.
Should this requirement be added to AGPM documentation? "AGPM Server must be installed on a server that is in the same AD Site as the DC holding the PDCe role."
Thanks for the tip! -
Firewall+AntiVirus+Internet Security
I'm going to buy an iPad mini+Wifi+Cellular. But because I often do banking payments and web browsing, I'd like to install a firewall+antivirus+internet security on it. I've heard iPad does not need to security software, but I'd like install a one.
Which software is the best for it?
What's your opinion about VirusBarrier (Intego)?The iPad needs no such software. All you are likely to find are worthless time- and money-wasters that will not protect you from anything.
What's your opinion about VirusBarrier (Intego)?
If you are asking about the OS X program, it is garbage. It is the only such utility that I determined to be completely unacceptable due to its horrendous effects on performance.
If you are asking about the iPad app, it is also garbage. I suggest you read its reviews: -
Use of SUS with bidding Engine
Dear all,
I want to use the BBPSC18 for request services (external labour). Then I want to use the bidding engine to create bid invitation from sourcing cockpit. From this point I have some questions
- I read it is not necessary to use SUS for this process. In that case what are the possibilities to sent the bid invitation to the supplier and for them to react on it?
- What are the arguments in favor / against the use of SUS?
- Does anyone what time / cost implications there are for the use of SUS?
We are running on SRM 5.0 / ECC 6.0
Kind regards,
Arie RuitenbeekHi,
If you are using request for external labour, then a bid invitation is automatically created as follow on document. You can add service agents in SRM system.
You can have two service prcurement business scenarios in sap srm.
1. service procurement with loose supplier integration
2. service procurement with closed supplier integration
In loose integration, you procure services using supplier catalogs and dont need any SUS. check the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/6e/1f311d7d73574c8db7525ffffa9746/frameset.htm
SUS is required if you want self entry of confirmation and invoices for suppliers. This saves time and cost on the part of buying company.

On a 5s you can by pass all security measures via Siri, where as the 4S asks for an unlock. Why?
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!
