Central contract and SA

hi,
for implementing Central contract in ERP-MM, the scenario is ,
Vendor corporate group(V0) having 2 local manufacturing units.
In system we have created two vendor codes V1 and V2.
central contract is created with corporate vendor (V0)
is it possible to create two different SA with Vendor code V1 and V2 with refernce to above contract.
i have tried with partner functions with parent vendor(V0),is it working. is there any
other solution for entering different vendor codes in SA?

ram

it is working fine with partner functions.
still for Return delivery through quality inspection, partner functions are not working.
any idea for return delivery process

Benefits of implementing Central Contracts in SRM 7.

Dear Experts,
Picture the following:
- Classic Scenario.
- One ECC 6 EHP 4 Back end.
I'm currently exploring the benefits of implementing Central Contracts against using only Purchasing Contracts in ECC and replicating them to SRM for use in the Shopping Carts.
So my question is why would you implement central contracts in SRM instead of just replicating these contracts from ECC? What benefits would you get out of having central contracts in place against having only Purchasing Contracts in ECC?
Thanks for your input.

adding to Manju one point .
- Procurement department(PURCHASER) can use web interface to create / manage contracts rather GUI interface and quick contract creation / maintenance
- Approval mechanism simplified with less efforts.
- Different ways to create a contract from SRM
Copy an existing contract
Use an existing template
Upload an external file
Upload a contract from the catalog

1.You can use this business process to access SAP SRM contract features, such as contract hierarchies, discount across contract hierarchies, and grouping logic, when determining source of supply in SAP ERP.
2.You can create a central contract in SAP SRM, and it can then be used as source of supply in both SAP SRM and SAP ERP. Relevant data is sent to SAP ERP for a source of supply determination, and a specific type of contract or scheduling agreement can be created there.
3.While determining a source of supply, you can access central contracts directly.
4.The price is determined in SAP SRM before the SAP ERP purchase order (PO) is sent to the supplier.
5.You can create and change central contracts and renegotiate existing contracts directly with a supplier, or through the creation of an RFx. You can automatically assign a contract as a source of supply, or it can be listed as one of numerous potential source of supply contracts. A strategic purchaser can create a contract whenever they anticipate a long-term relationship with a supplier.
6.Contract management enables purchasers from various parts of the company at different locations to take advantage of the terms of globally-negotiated contracts for specific product categories. You can provide users with specific levels of authorization to contracts, and you can categorize documents as confidential.
6.You can distribute central contracts to release-authorized purchasing organizations, and these organizations can then use them as source of supply in the appropriate SAP ERP system. Hierarchies can be used to organize, structure, display, and search for contracts.
7.If you use SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP BI), you can view various consolidated reports of contract management. For example, you can view aggregated value released against all contracts in a contract hierarchy.

Configurations needed for distributing central contract to backend system

Dear Gurus,
I have configured central contract and getting approved in the local SRM system. Now, I need to distribute the central contract to the backend system. I have already get the PI interfaces configured using the integration scenario Central contract management.
Now, I assign the backend POrg as well as the target values for the backend contract and try to release the central contract. The central contract is getting released. However, no contract is getting created in the backend system.
I donot see any XML messages generated in the SRM system (SXMB_MONI).
Do I need to maintain some settings in the SRM system to enable the distribution of contract to the backend system?
Thansk and regards,
Ranjan

Hi,
When one creates Local Contract; there is one option named 'Distribute' on contract screen.On drop down; one mention back end system. After clicking on it; contract has been created in ECC.
If contract is not getting generated in back end; refer SAP Note: 609222.
Check whether you find any error/information message in Txn BBP_CTR_MON.
SRM Settings:
1. Implement BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS: Determines whether contract is to be created in SRM or ECC.
2. Assign transaction type to attribute CT_PROC_TY in Org Structure.
3. Check whether have maintained message type BLAREL, COND_A, BLAORD.
4. Assign role SAP_BBP_STAL_START_PURCHASER to process contracts.

Central Contract Distribution - line items creates many contract in the BE

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are in SRM 7 ECC 6 Ehp 4 PPS. Ext Classic.
First of all, CCTR - Central Contract can't be distributed as per SAP for PPS impl.
But we have a workaround.
We made snote 1354971 read with 1423994 implemented. Made the process work.
Means Assign distribution on the item level was enabled and Distribution reached BE.
But when we have multiple line items in the Central Contract, and we assign distribution, it creates one contract per line item in the Backend which is really absurd. Which means if you have 100 line items, its creating 100 contracts. When we do the call-off against this central contract, we have multiple contracts.
Gurus, Can you guys throw some light on this entire issue.
with regards,
Freemind

We are having nearly exactly your scenario and CCTR works fine with 1 distributed contract containing multiple items. Check if all the items are distributed to the same purchasing org and location. If all is the same, debug BBP_PD_CTR_TRANSFER with your SRM contract GUID to see when and how multiple contracts get created in ECC.

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

Account Assignment tab in the Central Contracts

Dear Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 SP10 in Extended classic scenario using central contracts and don't find the account assignment tab which is required for non stock materials, and during replication to ECC these contracts are failing since account assignment data is being expected in ECC. Thus request you to please advice me on how to address this error.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkata Koppisetti.

Hi Venkata Koppisetti.
In the standard SRM system there is no account assignment in a contract. This is available if you have the PPS functionality acitivated and in that case the account assignment will only be visible when a Guarenteed Minimum is entered.
I hope this helps,
Kind Regards

Central Contract/Purchasing Contract

Hi All,
What is the difference between Central contract and Purchasing contract in SRM 7.0
Also , can we dispaly the central contract in ECC using the transaction code Me33k .
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi,
Purhasing contracts are contracts created in SRM only and never accesed in ERP system. This contract can be used as source of supply in SRM only.
Central contracts are the contracts created in SRM and then distributed to ERP system and YES you can access this contract with me33k. Here the SRM contract and ERP distributed contracts will have the same document number. This contract can be used as source of supply in both ERP and SRM system.
Please note that SRM central contract is the main document where you can make changes and the same contract is displayed in ERP with minimal data.

Sam

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.

Badis for PO and Central Contract in SRM 7.0 in classic

Hi everyone,
I need you help. We are working in a implementation of SRM7.0 with ECC 6.0 Ehp 4 in a classic scenario. We want to know which badis we can use in order to change the purchasing group of the PO an Central Contract when their are transfered to ECC.
BR,
Ivá

Hi Muthu,
We are wondering if it is posible the following:
- An user wants to create PO form SRM. This PO in SRM has the Purchasing group XXX, but (for any reason) we need when this PO is send to ECC, the system changes the purchasing group to YYY.

Centrally agreed contract and MRP settings

does MRP consider the centrally agreed contracts during its run (specifically as plants are not assigned in the centrally agreed contract).
So when MRP is run at plant level - is it possible to consider the centrally agreed contract, or in other words, will MRP let you know from which contract (if centrally) to order the quantity
Thanks a lot for ur time

Yes, MRP consider the centrally contract as long as you mantained in the source list

Central Contract Management in case of Classic Scenario

Hi,
At our current implementation, requirement is to implement both Service procurement(with hierarchy) and Central Conract Management. I was exploring the possibility of utilizing Central Contract Management with Classic scenario.
Will the Central Contracts created in this fashion be available in Sourcing Cockpit for the buyer to select against Purchase Requisitions? Will the Central Contract be visible at all in SRM in this case ?
Please respond only with reference to Classic scenario.
Thanks,
Abhilash

Yes the Central Contract will be available in the Sourcing Cockpit, both local and classic scenario's. Yes the Central Contracts will be available for the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3 and to assign SOS in R/3.
Do know that for SRM 7.0 PI is required for setting up Central Contracts. This is promised to change with the release of EHP1 for SRM (due june 2010).
Kind regards,
Tim

SRM, MDM, ECC integration for central contract management.

Hi there,
I am questioned by a client with respect to the possibility of the following scenario -
1. There are several SAP back end systems in place.
2. SRM 7.0 will be implemented as single sourcing system.
3. The SAP back end systems carry different material master codes for the same material and this will remain the same and no cleaning effort to have a unique code across all systems is going to be done.
4. If we use MDM in the mix - will it be possible for the SRM system to act as a central contracting solution and create a central contract with the unique material code in MDM.
5. On distribution of this contract across to individual SAP back end system the back end should map the MDM code to correct material code in that respective system.
Any insights with respect to if this is possible with some enhancements or not at all possible will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Shantanu Joshi
