Catalog in SUS

Hi experts
Please someone could explain-me a context for use catalog in SUS, I could see in a documentation that is it a scenario possible, what is business scenario?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi,
It is mainly used in Service Procurement. For example, you order some regular maintenance for engineering machine. Supplier side engineer finds some extra work and some parts change to fix. He can add extra service and parts from service catalog linked in SUS. The price for extra service and parts have been negotiated with supplier and put it in the service catalog.

Hardware Sizing for EBP, MDM Catalog

Hi,
This is for an SRM implementation project in extended classic scenario. The plan is to use all 3 components EBP, MDM Catalogs and SUS.
We are sizing hardware for a mid size company with around 10,000 employee base and USD 350 million of spend to be processed. With not more than 50.000 (X) Purchase orders annually, and therefor assumed Goods confirmation document and invoices to be 100.000 (2X).
We are using Quicksizer tool for sizing. Here are some of the areas which we need to validate-
1. Is there a benchmark or a recommended or empirical percentage (%) of total employee strength that will be concurrent users.
2. What can be the SAPS number range for EBP for a typical mid size company as described above. Any experience with respect to this would be helpful.
3. Quicksizer doesnt suppoer MDM catalog sizing. Any inputs on the same would be useful.
4. We are using EBP sizing template in quicksizer for SUS sizing with object data with respect to SUS. Is this the right approach.
Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Prayas

Please let me know the usage of def Backend systems?

Hi friends
Please let me know the usage of Def Backend systems with fields
Thanks

Hi krishna
In this Define Backend system . you can define all your backend system and EBp system, Catalog system, SUS ROS system. This configuration helps you to communicate with other system. and it helps to view howm many systems are connected with other systems.This configuration is mother of all configuration.
Define Backend Systems
In this activity, you specify
u2022     Which backend system(s) you are working with
u2022     Which local system you use to run your business scenario
u2022     Whether purchase orders and their follow-on documents (confirmations, goods receipts/service entry sheets, and invoice) are to be created locally in Enterprise Buyer
u2022     Whether contracts from the Sourcing application or from the Bidding Engine are to be created in the backend system (as of backend release 4.6B)
u2022     Whether SAP Supplier Self-Services and SAP Enterprise Buyer are to run in the same client
Requirements
u2022     In the activity Define RFC Destination, you have defined the RFC destinations for your systems.
u2022     In the activity ALE Settings (Logical System), you have defined the logical systems for your systems.
Activities
Define the following:
u2022     Name and description of the system. If you have already defined the logical system in ALE Settings (Logical System) you should use the same description here.
u2022     The RFC destination for the system
u2022     Type and release level of the backend system
In order to create a contract in the backend system, set up a logical system with RFC and system type CM.
If you are using supplier registration with catalog integration, you must enter SUPPL_DIR here. A prerequisite is that you have have made a dummy entry under Logical System.
If you are using SAP SUS and SAP EBP in the same client, you must enter EBP_SUS here.
u2022     Select Local if the system is your local Enterprise Buyer system.
As of SRM Release 4.0, this setting is required for all SRM scenarios. In previous releases, this entry was only required for standalone deployment.
u2022     In the column SLD ID, enter the name of the associated system in the SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD). Prerequisite: The technical name of the local EBP system is entered in the SLD. Make this setting for
o     The local Enterprise Buyer system if you exchange documents via the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI). The ID of the local EBP system is located in the SAP Landscape Directory (or LCR). Example: PJC_CLIENT_300
o     An external system (for example, SAP PP-MRP or the system of an external provider) from which, you transfer requirements into Enterprise Buyer.
o     The SUS System if you use this scenario
o     For the SAP Content Integrator (CI). If you use the CI to map product IDs, the SLD-ID must be available for all systems whose product IDs are to be mapped.
Hope this helps you

SUS - Confirmation through Catalog

Hello Folks,
Hope your day is going well...I am not lucky today.
While creating confirmation into SUS for a limit order, I tried inserting items from a catalog. Upon clicking the button "Add Item from Catalog" I encountered with an error as - Serious Error:Error in Catalog Attributes.
As far as limit PO is concerned, I believe in SUS we can insert items from the catalog at the time of confirmation. Am I missing config. settings, if any?
We are into SRM 5.0 with Extended Classic on.
May I request you to please share insight on it.
Many thanks.
Reg,

A further build-on :
I missed to mention that respective catalog ID has already been assigned to the vendor's attribute in t-code PPOMV_BBP.
Second, the same catalog can be accessed during shopping cart creation without any hassles. (SRM and SUS both resides on same server in the same client)

SUS domain in catalogs is wrong

We have recently purchased a Mac server for using the SUS to update our Macs, but we have run into a problem. Originally the problem was that when any computer tried to update with the server, it would quickly run through the catalog and say no updates, even though there were updates. We found that this is because the server's location is actually macserver.example.com, but in the catalog files it lists the updates at just macserver.com. We have found that editing these catalogs and replacing all instances of macserver.com with macserver.example.com makes the updates work, but only until the catalogs are rewritten by the service. Does anyone know where the setting would be to make is so it writes the right name to the catalogs?
-Thanks

You have DNS and hostname setup right? It looks like the domainname ("example") is missing.
Test using: sudo changeip -checkhostname
Also check "Network" prefpane "search domain" field to say "example.com" and in Sharing setup it should only say (hostname) "macserver".

Lion server SUS not responding/weird behavior

Hi all,
I've a new mini Lion server set up and updated to 10.7.4. Tested most of the services fine and decided to set up its software update service for our Macs in the office. I followed the instruction scattered around on the internet and used Server Admin to set up the SUS. After a few days it is still downloading some old packages (we have mostly Leopard clients) but I see that a lot have been downloaded and enabled. So I went ahead and try to deploy the service to our Macs.
When I use the URL Apple suggested "http://su.domain_name.com:8088/index.sucatalog", my clients said my server wasn't responding and that I need to check my network connection. I searched around and realized it happens to lots of people with Snow Leopard server upgrading to Lion and some people suggested that we should point the URL to "http://su.domain_name.com:8088/catalogs.sucatalog" and I tried that and it seems to be working on one of my Lion, well at least there weren't any error, but since all my Lions are updated, it just said the computer is up to date. I thought it worked and decided to upgrade one of the Leopard to Snow Leopard.
After updating to Snow Leopard, the Mac obviously needed a lot of updates. Since it is a managed client, I had no problem depolying the SUS to it with Workgroup Manager. After a restart, I tried doing the software update thing and it successfully connected to my Lion server (because there is my server URL on the window title) and in a second or so it found some updates and showed me the usual "show detail, not now, install" prompt but before I had a chance to click anything, an "attached prompt" pop up from the title of the "show detail, not now, install" prompt telling me that the computer is up to date and all I can do is click the "quit" button which closes both prompts together.
So now I'm painfully trying to update that Snow Leopard from Apple servers which just the OS X combined update alone is going to be like 3 hours. What did I do wrong with the SUS? What can I do/test to solve this problem?
Any help would be great! Thanks!!

I figured it out and have posted all the details on my blog:

How to use the catalog in our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Expert,
How to access MDM catalog and bring the product data back to a our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Masa,
The Catalog Search UI of SRM that is referred to as UI as aforementioned is a page which is capable of the selection of catalog items is linked from the shopping cart creation.
Our biz requirement content two scenarioes to processing the purchase requirement.
A. Create shopping cart via the catalog (PR) --> SRM PO Process --> SUS(PO and Invoice)
This is the standard SRM purchase scenario and we have already implemented that.
B. Create a requirement document via the catalog (This document is same with the SC but very simple, and we create this function by the own web dynpro program) --> transfer the requirement document to other purchasing system(none SAP) in our intranet.
So the key problems we faced are below:
1. How to connect to the catalog search UI from our own web dynpro program.
( If we connect the catalog via the MDM ABAP API, that will make the catalog serach UI could not be used;
Also it has been failed to simulate the function of SC's connection to the catalog;
So we decide to link the catalog serach UI via the URL, the linkage is "http://<J2EEserver:J2EEport>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=General&username=&password=&catalog=<Repository Name>&server=&datalanguage=EN". )
2. How to transfer the catalog item data to our own web dynpro program.
If we link the catalog search UI by URL, we can not find any good method to transfer the catalog item data to our own program.

Use the MM-SUS in Extended Classic Scenario

HI,my experts :
    The standard function doesn't support the MM-SUS in Extended Classic Scenario .Now I may have two questions about it .
1、 I have one ECC system .I need handle the invice in the ECC system .In other word ,the invoice rcreated in the SUS should transfer to the MM system .But in EBP-SUS ,the invoice is transfered to the SRM system .What can I do now ?
2、 If I want to use the decoupled scenario ,some POs are create in EBP ,and others are created in MM .Now ,which sus I should select ? EBP-SUS or MM-SUS?
   Or some detail document about it .
BR!
   Alex!
Edited by: Alex on May 25, 2010 9:17 AM

Khan has explained most of the things.
The external web service I meant is actually OPI catalog which you need to maintain.
The same has to be entered in the attribute CAT of the EBP purchaser.
To maintain the call structure of this catalog
Get the URL from SE80->BSP appln->ros_prescreen->controller->main.do
then give the client no of yr ROS client
the RFC user user ID from EBP to ROS
it's password
sap-sessioncmd=open
sap-language=sy-langu
the operational purchaser role in EBP (sap_EC_BBP_OP_PURCHASER) should be linked with
the same in ROS via role menu->business partner->screen supplier->right click->change details
->sap-client=ROS client no
The administrator & op purchaser should be present in ROS org structure also
& should have same userID & password as EBP
you have to define the vendor root, the root of the purchasing organization and the currency in
table BBP_MARKETP_INFO in the SRM System (Enterprise Buyer client).

Data Consistency when Copying/ Refreshing ECC 6.0 and SRM-SUS 5.0 Systems

Hello,
We are planning a refresh / system copy of an ECC 6.0 and SRM-SUS 5.0 system
The refreshes will be completed from backups taken of production systems refreshed onto the QA Landscape.
I have referenced the following SDN thread that provides some guidelines on how to refresh R/3 and SRM systems and maintain data consistency between the systems using BDLS and changing entries that correspond to backend RFC destinations:
[Is there a process/program to update tables/data after System Refresh?;
This thread is fairly old and relates to earlier versions of R/3 (4.7) and SRM (3.0). We have heard that at higher system versions there may be technical reasons why a refresh canu2019t be performed.
Does anyone have experience of completing successful refreshes of landscape that contain ECC and SRM systems at higher SAP versions (ideally ECC 6.0 and SRM-SUS 5.0) Does anyone know whether it is technically possible?
Are there any additional steps that we need to be aware of at these higher SAP versions in completing the copy to ensure that the data remains consistent between ECC and SRM?
Thanks
Frances

I have seen this somewhere in the forum: See if this helps you
BDLS: Convertion of logical system (SRM).
Check entry in table TWPURLSVR.
Check RFC connections (R/3 and SRM)
SPRO, check or set the following points:
Set up Distribution Model and distribute it
Define backend system
Define backend sytem per product category
Setting for vendor synchronization
Numbe ranges
Define object in backend sytem

Supplier Registration without SUS or XI?

Can I do Supplier (Vendor) Registration without SUS or XI? If not, what are my limitations?
I am using SRM server 5.5, and am not using CCM as the supplier directory. I am not using questionnaires. ROS_SELF_REG works. However, I cant notify vendors via email of acceptance. Because I dont have SUS, I cant use SRMSUS_SELFREG and SRMSUS_SELFEDIT, correct? To do User Registration, can I use ROS_SELF_EDIT?
How is workflow WS10000209 (Approving External User Master Record) used?
I appreciate any feedback.

Hi Scott
It's difficult to give a reply hre, but let me give it a try...For more details, try the links given above by other friends.
You do not need SUS for Self-registration.
COnfig
1)Create another client for ROS.
2)Create RFC destination for EBP system in new client. Similarly, maintain RFC dest for ROS client in EBP system.
3)Maintain backend systems for ROS system in EBP and EBP system in ROS.
4)Configure some product categories (need not replicate from ERP) to be used during registration.
5)Configure the IMG settings for Supplier Self-registration (they are easy..just go through them once.
6)Configure SCOT settings (check notes 455140) for outbound & inbound mails.
7)Maintain org plan for purchasing org (ppoma_bbp)& vendor group(ppomv_bbp). No need for elaborate org plan like in EBP...just simple org plan.
8) Maintain table BBP_marketp_info (Txn:SM30)
9) Activate ROS_SELF_REG, ROS_prescreen etc ROS services in SICF
10) Maintain client and logon info in ROS_SELF_REG service (SICF)
11) In EBP client, maintain SAP client parameter for role SAP_EC_BBP_ST_PURCHASER for BSP link preselect suppliers (right click and change node details).
12) Maintain catalog call structure settings in EBP client IMG for the ROS supplier directory. The URL shd be taken from ros_prescreen attributes in ROS client.
Process:
1) With the service ROS_SELF_REG, a partner can register. System creates a BP (prospect) in the ROS client.
2) An email is sent to the given email id
3) Fill the attachment and click 'send survey' button. An email is sent to the system and system copies the survey response to the registered business partner
4) From EBP client, click on preselect suppliers. System launches the ROS client registrations listing screen.
5) Check the suppliers registered, check the data and accept/reject the supplier registration
6) Accepted suppliers data can be pulled into EBP through 'Maintain Business Partners' transaction and create supplier (bidder/vendor) in EBP client.
Hope it helps
Best regards
Ramki

Service Procurement PO Issue in MM-SUS Scenario (SRM 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
We are facing issue while creating the service purchase order in MM-SUS scenario.
Creating the PO in ECC with Account Category "K" and Item Category "D". (PO should transfer through XML as in XI config v hv used proxies for both ECC & SRM,when creating PO xml not generated in SXI_MONITOR. what is the config required in ECC to generate the XML)
What is the Process of service entry sheet.
Regards
Satish

Note 868192 - Consulting solution: MM-SRV-SUS service procurement
A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:
Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.
Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.
Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.

SRM SUS..can supplier create purchase orders

Hi,
In SRM SUS ( Supplier self service)
1) Is it possible that Supplier/Vendors can able to create purchase orders himself
2) Can Supplier/vendors able to access cataloges
3)Can supplier create confirmation himself for both goods , as i knows it is possible for service confimations
Thx
Jai

Hi Jairaj,
In SRM SUS ( Supplier self service)
1) Is it possible that Supplier/Vendors can able to create purchase orders himself
No. The Vendors change can accept or reject PO Lines and change the price.
They can create POR.
2) Can Supplier/vendors able to access cataloges
No.
3)Can supplier create confirmation himself for both goods , as i knows it is possible for service confimations
The vendors can create Service entry sheet in SRM 7.0.
The vendors can create ASN for materials.

Pavan

Doubts about BP number in SRM and SUS

Hello everyone,
I have some doubts about the BP number, especially for Vendors.
I am working with the implementation of SRM 5.0 with SUS in an extended classic scenario. We will use one server for SRM and other for SUS. We will use the self registration for vendor (in SUS). My questions are:
- Can I have the same BP number in SRM and SUS?? Or is it going to be different??
- When a vendor accesses at the site to make a self registration in SUS, the information is sent to SRM as prospect (by XI) and there the prospect is changed as vendor? After that, is it necessary to send something from SRM to SUS again? (to change the prospect to vendor)
- When is it necessary to replicate vendors from SRM to SUS??
Thanks
Ivá

Dear Ivan,
Here is answer to all your questions. Follow these steps for ROS configuration:
Pls note:
1. No need to have seperate clients for ROS and SUS. Create two clients for EBP and (SUS+ROS).
2. No need of XI to transfer new registered vendor from ROS to EBP
Steps to configure scenario:
1. Make entries in SPRO --> "Define backend system" on both clients.
    You will ahev specify logical systems of both the clients (ROS as well as EBP)
2. Create RFCs on both clients to communicate with each other
3. In ROS client create Service User for supplier registration service with roles:
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEUSER
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEVENDOR
    Grant u201CS_A.SCONu201D profile to the user.
4. Maintain service user in u201CLogon Datau201D tab of service : ros_self_reg in ROS client
5. Create Purchasing and vendor Organizational Structure in EBP client and maintain necessary
    attributes. create vendor org structure in ROS client
6. Create your ROS registration questionnaires and assign to product categories- in ROS client
7. To transfer suppliers from registration system to EBP/Bidding system, Supplier pre-screening has to be
    defined as supplier directory in SRM server - EBP client.
    Maintain your prescreen catalog in IMG --> Supplier Relationship Management u2192 SRM Server u2192
    Master Data u2192 Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.)
8. Maintain this catalog Id in purchasing org structure under attribure "CAT" - in EBP client
9. Modify purchaser role in EBP client:
    Open node for u201CROS_PRESCREENu201D and maintain parameter "sap-client" and ROS client number
10.Maintain organizational data in make settings for business partner
Supplier Relationship Management -> Supplier Self-Services -> Master Data -> Make Settings for the Business Partners. This information is actually getting getting stored in table BBP_MARKETP_INFO.
11. Using manage Business partner node with purchasers login (BBPMAININT), newly registsred vendors are pulled from Pre-screen catalog and BP is created in EBP client. If you you have SUS scenario, ensure to maintain "portal vendor" role here.
I hope this clarifies all your doubts.
Pls reward points for helpful answers
Regards,
Prashant
