Bug in bid invitation weighting change/update

Have you realized there seems to be bug in weighting the bid invitation?
If you copy an old bid invitation to make a new one the weightings come
along. There's nothing wrong in that, but when you change the header weighting
and add one line item and change the weighting to add up to 100%
it doesn't update to the system. New weighting % is shown on the screen, but it
is not used in the calculation.
Weighting between lines and header seem to add up to 100% when you calculate
the numbers shown in the screen, but when you click "check" button you get a error as if the header weighting is not updated.
There also seems to be some confusion how the line weightings are updated when you add new item.
I know my this seems like a very confusing thread, but there is really no logic how the system "behaves" in this matter.
Have anyone else realized this, or even better have you found a note to fix this?
We are running SRM 5.0

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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 doesn’t 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 don’t 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.

  • 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.

  • Upload + Download in Bid invitation

    Hi,
      What i understand from upload and download feature in SRM is that the purchaser can download the bid invitation & make changes & upload it back again.
    When I download I can see all database fields like - BBP_PDS_HEADER-GUID,
    BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_GUID...etc for all entries quite confusing format.
    Can anyone clarify how this upload and download works ?
    Thanx,
    Rajeshree

    Hi Rajeshree,
    Yes I agree that it is really confusing. But there is method in the madnesss. Essentially you have header lines and item lines and below that you have the header data and item data displayed in that order.
    Please try to follow the header line and the header data. Similarly for item header and item data. You would be able to correlate then.
    Thanks and best regards,

  • 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

    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,
    Kwong How

  • Bid Invitation update

    Hi all,
      we have to update Bid Invitation but did not find an appropriate BAPI (there are only "create" and "getdetail" bapi's in the system). E.g. we have found the fm BBP_PD_BID_UPDATE, but not sure that it is a right one.
    Regards,
    Olga

    Hello Olga,
    there is no BAPI for Bid Inv update.
    BBP_PD_BID_UPDATE is not a BAPI, but an SRM internal function (with internal structures and not BAPI ones).
    You can create your own Z function, encapsulating BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL/UPDATE/SAVE + COMMIT.

  • 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.

  • Interface programs of changing Bid Invitation and Quotation

    I have a problem about changing Bid Invitation and Quotation in SRM.
    I want to create custom applications including interface programs, so I think I have to call BAPI (Tr-cd:BAPI), Function Module (Tr-cd:SE37), or Enterprise Services (http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/esoa/docu_esoa_srm.htm).
    I found "BidInvitationEC" and "SupplierQuotationEC" in SRM BAPIs, but each of BAPIs doesn't support changing method. (Only Create Method is supported.)
    Please help us if you have a good solution.

    Thank you for your reply.
    We are going to create our custom application inside SRM,
    but we don't know which Functional Module we should use
    to change Bid Invitation and Bid documents.
    Please, tell me if you know a way to change these documents.
