Can Central Contracts be Distributed from SRM 7.03 PPS to ECC?

Does anyone know if central contracts can be distributed from SRM 7.03 (PPS) to ECC? I have read several forums that this is not supported. I need to know if it is are there limitations?
Thanks.

SAP very unlikely to state anything 'clearly' especially if it could be perceived as a shortcoming in their software! I was involved in an SRM-PPS implementation in 2010 where an SAP consultant managed the procurement piece and we were simply told it didn't accommodate distribution of contracts.
Found this Note :
1354971 - Disable distribution tab and distribution buttons in PPS
See this discussion :
No Contract Distribution with PPS
Good luck.

Can we delete the material from SRM ?

Hello,
In ECC, With MM06 & with MM17 we have marked the materials for deletion but can not completely delete it. still client users shop for those materials and
We have the requirement to permanently delete the materials from respective SLOCs so that those deleted materials will not be available at all to requester for shopping.
Archiving is out of scope. Can we delete the materials from SRM also in commpr01 ? or Suggest any other pointers
Thanks & Regards / Pankaj K

Hi Pankaj
Issue during S.cart creation for mtl which are flagged for del at sto locn
as really said, if you delete a material at SL level , srm not validating but SRM validates at Plant level deletion.
Are you in classic oe ECS, However it would have thrown error while creating PO.
How did you delete the material inSRM ?
After you delete a material in SR, what is the status of material ? Is it blocked, Archieved.

We can't generate a PO from SRM (BBP_CREATE_PO_FROM_QUOT)

We are in Classic Mode SRM 5, We are moving to SRM 7. We have a job that automatically creates POs from SRM quotes if it meets certain criteria. The system says it is creating the PO however, we get an error and no PO number back from SAP ECC.
In SRM 5 at some point in the logic of this function module it is going into class CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_ERP10 method CREATE_DOCUMENT (this is where we put our enhancement point to store the PO number). However, in SRM 7 it does not appear to go into that method (and thus our enhancement is getting skipped). We need to know what in SRM 7 replaced this, or why it isn't going to it if it still should be.

Hi Nacho,
creating a PO from a Bid is part of the standard processes. Important is, that the whole process starts with a Shopping Cart or a Requisition to have the whole process. In any other case a local PO is created in SRM. Based on this information the accounting information is then available.
In order you try to create a PO from a Bid Invitation only, the PO is only created locally in SRM. There is no replication / copy possible.
Cheers,

Creation of backend contract from SRM system?

Dear Experts,
I am bit confused with the scenario of creation of backend contract from SAP SRM system? It says in few cases, based on the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_Logsys', the system creates a backned contract directly in a backend ERP system. Why do we need when we have central contract?
We can meet the same requirement through central contract where we will authorize only purchasing organizations of a backend system and block the contract for local sourcing in SRM?
Secondly, How to find a contract / scheduling agreement created in a backend system when a central contract is distributed to the backend system?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello Ranjan
question on contracts?
Note 1476307 - Importing parameter not filled in BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS
in classic scenario , The Business wanted to create a contract from cockpit or via BID
this BADI helps
Symptom
You have implemented BAdi BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS to control the system in which contract is created in following scenarios:
1. Creation of contract from an accepted quote / bid.
2. Creation of contract from a requisition in SOCO.
In the method IF_EX_BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS~CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE of the BAdi implementation, importing parameter IT_ORG doesnot have any values.

Condition types from Central Contract not copied into Purchase Order

Hi,
When creating a central contract from SRM to ECC, all the condition types are copied well.
But when creating a shopping cart from SRM or a PO in ECC referencing the created central contract, the condtion types are not displayed in the conditions tab. (Only Condtion type PB00 is displayed.).
What can I do to assure, that all the condition types from the contract are displayed in the PO.
Do I have to do some customizing, or is there a SAP Notes to resolve this.

Setup Central Contract Management SRM 7.01 with differing release versions

Hello experts,
OSS note 1268821 explains how to configure the central contract management between a SRM 7.0 and an ERP 6.04. So far so good, but how should it be handled if there are differing release versions such as ERP 6.04 and ERP 6.03? I guess that a technical split (xml services/ ALE distribution) is necessary?
Assuming that there are some backends with differing release versions and in some cases with differing master data (not supported by central master data client) would you always go via PI? Independent of release version, technology and master data.
Could you give some further detailed informations how to configure such a scenario? What has to be done to transfer existing contracts from an ERP 6.04 into SRM CM component (migration concept)?
Thanks!!!
KR Thorsten

Hi Thorsten
The minimal ECC version is 6.0 EHP4, Central Contracts require certain business functions in ECC to be activated and as these are included within ECC EHP4 you won't have these available in lower version. Therefore you won't be able to operate central contracts in such an ECC system.
You would either have to go with patching these systems or go with GOA's for these systems.
Operating central contracts via PI or SOA i believe provide almost similar functionality. SOA however requires an SRM EHP1 system and ECC EHP5 back-end to operate whilst central contracts configured via PI can be operated onwards from an SRM 7.0 and EHP4 system.
I can't help you on your migration issue, maybe someone else can.
Kind regards,
Tim

ERP release for Central Contract Management with SRM 7.0 EhP 1

Hi all,
i would like to have clarification with ERP and SRM release combinations regarding SRM 7.0 EhP1.
Indeed, the "Software Component Matrix for SAP SRM 7.0 EHP1", for Operational Contract Management, tells 'EHP 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 required'.
Moreover, in RKT dealing with SRM EhP1 delta overview, ERP 6.0 with EhP5 is mandatory for an upgrade to SRM7.01.
Nevertheless, i would like to have confirmation regarding this point.
We do not want to use PI to execute the Enterprise Services for CCM. So, we intend to switch BF SRM_WSRM_1 on.
But on the ERP side (EhP5), the only BF dealing with Contract Management is LOG_MM_P2PSE_2 which description is about Service Procurement (and more exactly for item hierarchies).
Does it mean we can use SRM 7.01 with ERP 6.0 EhP4 and without PI but only if we do not use Central Contracts with service hierarchies ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hi Laurent,
Yes.
When Central contract was designed in SRM 7.0 with ERP EhP4, it was designed with no service hierarchy. But in SRM 7.01 Central contral was enhanced to handle service hierarchy and it works with ERP EhP5. The problem is when we have SRM 7.01 and ERP EhP4. To handle this complication SRM 7.01 was designed to send flat service lines to EhP4 and lower release even though Central contract in SRM has service hierarchy. So while transfering to ERP EhP4 system in standard, all outlines are not consider for transfer and only service lines (Functional items) are transferred to ERP. To do so user needs to maintain the backend destination information of the connected backend system in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST via SM30 transaction with correct system type (for EhP4 system it will be ERP_4.0 and for EhP5 ERP_5.0). SAP Standard program checks this while XML generation for transfer and if system type is ERP_4.0 system it removes all outlines from temp table before generating the XML data. When it is done, ERP has only service lines in its XML and it does the manupulation to create the replication of central contract.
Master Guide (Including Upgrade Information) - SAP SRM 7.01 states:
"The use of SAP NetWeaver PI is optional but it is required for outbound XML-based messaging or for connecting non-SAP planning or execution systems."
So service hierarchy is possible in SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 but only with PI. For other CCM functionalities, SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 without PI works fine.

Christian Zeuch

SRM Central Contract

Hi,
We have created successfully Central contracts and distributed to ECC 6.0. I have created Central contract for central purchasing org A as 45xxxxxx and distributed contract for purchasing org B as 54xxxxxx
I have created purchase order for purchasing org B in SRM. Can I use distributed contract for purchasing org B in SRM?
Do I have always go for PO creation for purchasing Org A in SRM?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravikumar,
You donot need to distribute back your ECC contract to SRM system.
The concept of central contract is to use one contract to be used across system landscape.
You can assign local purchasing organization as well as backend purchasing organization to a central contract for distribution. For backend purchasing orgs, the system will create individual contracts for the backend porg. Any consumption of backend contract will keep the central contract in sync. For local SRM porg, it will not create separate contract. It can directly use the central contract in SRM.
So, the answer to your question is big yes. However, it will be relevant only if you are working with extended classic scenario. In classic scneario, the local contract will not be populated for consumption.
I hope, it helps you.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

SRM 7.0 EhP 1 central contracts with service lines

Hi,
I have a question concerning the use of SRM 7.0 EhP1 central contracts with service line items. I know that for SRM EhP 1 you would require EhP 5 in ECC. However, since my organisation just went to EhP 4 last weekend I am wondering if there's any option to use services in central contracts without going to EhP 5 in ECC.
Kind regards,
Bastiaan

The contract condition in the ECC affect the replicated PO from SRM

Dear ,My expert :
   I work in SRM 7.0 SP03,ECS .
In the ESC , the PR is transfered from ECC system and generate one Shopping Cart in SRM syetem.The purchaser carry out sourcing ,and convert the Shopping Cart to PO(according to the contract ) .The PO will be replicated into the ECC system .
   In my scenario ,the contract is created in SRM ,and transferd into the ECC system .
I am confused that the PO will calculate the net price according the contract in the ECC system .eg,Contract in SRM net price 100$   and the discount 10% ,so the PO net price is 90$ .But the replicated PO in ECC net price is 81$.
Is it the grogram error ?
BR!

Hi
Are u using any FCC parameters for file adapter?
If so don't do that. I tried with the same. You have to go with xml only. Otherwise there is some package related to that. you need to download.

SRM - Contract management - product category - SRM 5.0

Hello,
The product category was set as mandatory field in the contract management.
By creating a contract or modifying an existing one, a product category must be selected.
When I'm connected in English, i can use product category search function, and all the product category are populated.
I'm so able to select a product category in the contract
But when I'm connected in French, it is impossible to use the search function because no values are populated.
I already check the transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, but English and French are already set.
Thank you for help.

1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC.

Central Contract, MDM Catalog, and classic scenario

Dear SAP experts,
We are in SRM 7.01 with backend ECC 6.05 deploying classic scenario. We are using Central Contract Management in which we negotiate contract in SRM and later distribute it to ECC. We also plan to use SRM-MDM Catalog.
We notice that if we are using classic scenaro, the contract that is used as reference is the contract number in ECC (the one distributed from SRM). So at first we assume that if we want to push the contract data to MDM, we should have pushed the ECC Contract number. However we find out that actually SAP block the ECC Contract coming as distribution from SRM to go to MDM.
Our second option is to use distribution of contract from SRM to catalog. It does using SRM contract number. We create SC and then we pull the catalog item from the catalog (which contain SRM contract number) and then we order. However we end up with 'error in process' in which the system try to create a PR instead in the ECC (meaning that the contract number cannot be read).
We're puzzled with this. How can we use the combination of central contract, MDM catalog and classic scenario? Can we use the combination?
Best regards,
John

Maria
If you want the contracts to be in SRM and do not want them to send to Backend, then check this out.
Create a Vendor list for those items in SRM by assigning the local contracts to the vendors.Activate Vendor list for sourcing.
Then local contract data should pick as SOS from the vendor list.
If you can create contracts in Backend for stock material then SC would pick the backend contract as SOS in classic scenario.
Let me know if the above works or not.

Central Contract Management

Dear SAP Experts,
I have a few questions regarding our implementation of SRM and ECC.
FYI, we are planning to use SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.05 as backend.
We’re planning to utilize Central Contract Management functionality in SRM, where we negotiate the price in SRM then we distribute the contract to ECC. In ECC we create PR, which have reference to this contract (contract number in SRM is different with ECC). So this PR will have assigned source of supply, is it possible for us then to create PO automatically from tcode ME59? The reason we ask this because we see in documentation that every PO in ECC created with reference to contact in SRM, ECC will need to check first the current price in the SRM contract, so we would like to confirm whether it is working if we use ME59 (we plan to use ME59 as background job and unfortunately we don’t have the testing system yet to verify this).
We’re planning to have PR created in ECC. However we would like to utilize MDM catalog as well. Is it possible that during PR creation we can select items from the catalog?
We’re planning to have implement SRM 7.01 in 2 waves. In first wave we will only use Self Service Procurement and Strategic Sourcing (using classic deployment where the leading PO is in ECC). However in the second wave, we’re planning to implement SUS (Supplier Collaboration). In SUS, we would like to activate the business function, so the vendor will response RFx and participate in auction from SUS itself. The question is…is it possible for us to have it planned like this? For example, in first wave, the RFx and auction will use SRM server itself, however in the second wave, we will switch it to SUS. Our concern is that the switch will happen to the productive server already. Is this okay?
Thanks
Varian

Hi,
When you distribute the central contract to ECC system, it creates a new contract in ECC system.
When you create PR, you can assign this contract as source of supply.
Then automatic PO creation if your settings for automatic PO is maintained.
In ECC 6.04 also catalog integration is possible. So for your version 6.05 there is absolutely no problem. The same OCI interface parameters have to be maintained in MM system for catalog.
Your two stage implementation is absolutely possible.

Malay
