Central substitution in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts,
Is Central substitution possible in SRM 7.0?
For Example I am administrator and I want to add a person for substitution to any user.
When yes, where can I do it?
Best Regards,
Evgeny.

Hi Muthu,
What do you mean?:
1. Admin can set a rule for his UWL workitemlist aswell, so yes the admin can set substitutes/forwarding for his incomming workitems.
2. Can the admin also set approval substitute rules? -> He can't via any SRM transactions, maybe via the UWL administrator a rule can be set for someone other then his own user
Kind regards,
Tim

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.

ECC - Central contract via SRM - condition Item button does not work

Hi,
After the creation of a central contract via SRM, I checked if all the condition types are taken over to contract in ECC.
When selecting the item line and clicking on the condition button, it works correctly. After going back, to the main screen where the items are displayed I click once again on the condition button. Now it does not show anything, nothing happens.
I have been looking for an OSS Note but couldn't find any. May you an OSS Note that I can use to solve this issue.
Regards,
Alexander

hi Alexander,
Do you get any error message.Can you check the konp and konh tables if entries exist

Hi Sharad
some mapping error with ECC and SRM
expand the COND /BLOARD . you must get some clue - in bd87 51 error code
did you map pricing condition type with ECC and SRM?
kindly check BADI mapping in SRM

Central Contract in SRM 7

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7 Ehp1.
ECC Ehp4
Need a clarification on Central Contract of SRM.
When we create and distribute the Central contract to backend, the price is shown as Zero in Backend.
When the PO is created in backend, from where will the price be picked. Is it SRM?
Is this correct?
Thanks
Aditya

Hi,
Are you creating service contracts?
When we worked on Hierarchy contract we used MDM to get hold of those. As there were several issues in distribution.
1. Basic Contract can contain line items.
2. This is where we have used MDM to store contracts & used accordingly.
You can distribute parent contract (with child contracts) as of I fell. Give a shot & let us know the ensues.

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.

Can anybody explain how to configure the Centralized contract in SRM 7

Hi All,
Can anybody explain how to configure the Centralized contract management in SRM 7 with ECC EHP4 ?what are all that need to be perform in PI system.
Thank you,
praveen

Hello,
PI will be required here. You can also refer the config guides maintained at the belwo mentioned location.
Goto URL http://service.sap.com/srm-inst and then navigate to SAP SRM --> SAP SRM Server 7.0 -> Configuration Guides for SAP SRM 7.0

Distributing Central Contract from SRM to ECC

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 in backend (no EHP). We're setting up a central contract with IDOCs. From what I read we have made the configuration:
in SRM:
- Assign attribute CT_PROC_TY = CCTR
- Connfigure new condition type PB00 which is the same with ECC price for contract
- activate the BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS and coding it so for contract it will always go to backend (in method CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE)
- I have activated BADI BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE but writing no code, as there no need for me to do mapping
in ECC:
- Activate inbound IDOC type BLAORD and COND_A and assign it to the logical system of SRM
Then I create the contract in SRM. but:
1. When creating contract, in item overview, i cannot tick 'distribution' indicator. Not sure what is the function
2. In item detail, tab distribution, I cannot put create release-purchasing org. Even when using search help it is not giving any value
Actually dont really understand the usefull of the indicator above, so I let it be empty, then I release the contract
The contract then not appear in ECC. I have checked SMQ1/SMQ2 nothing. Even in WE05 in ECC nothing. The only thing I see is in SLG1 where I see error triggered by user WF-BATCH with message "No recipient found"
Do i miss something in here? Any help will be very appreciated.

Hi Josh,
Central contract is only possible in SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 EHP 4. You can use local contracts or GOA.

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

Regarding user substitution in SRM

Hello Experts!
I have a case in production system. SRM
Here a user A is subsitituited by another User B (Active Substitution) to receive the SC for approvals in place on A's absence.
Here B is recieving A's SC for approvals, but the user A still recieves the Lotus Notes Email initmating about the apporval..
Please let me know is ther any setting or action required to enable User B recieve the Lotus Notes intimation.
Thanks
Vj Sam

Hi
You can check OSS note 794226, according to this note:
<i>"Active substitution is supported
Passive substitution is not supported
Position-related substitution is not supported"</i>
This means that if user B is an active, personal substitute, he will get the notification to.
The workitem will however only exist once, no changed there - the result of this is - of course that i User B executes the item, User A will still have the Lotus Note mail, but when he enteres, the workitem will not exist anymore. So - it's a goos idea to try to describe this in the notification mail

HI
Need to do following
1. Keep conidtion types in ECC & SRM same for contract.
2. Also Add message types BLAORD & COND_A manually in ECC in WE20.
Then only it works

Central Contract SRM

I have an issue, when I create central contract in SRM. The Select System is empty. No values is there on the screen.
Even though I try to create contract I have the error message "No customizing entry for SRDCLNT600 in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST"
We have SRM 7.0 , ECC 6.0 EHP4.

Lya

Hi,
Are you just setting up the system or has it been working already ?
Pl check your "Define Backend Systems" set-up in IMG. There might be some problem here.

SRM 7.0 Central Contracts Excel upload

Hello All,
We are implementing SRM7.0 implementing Central Contracts ,want to use the Contract upload function using the excel file , not able to see the button or link to do the same .
Am i missing something.
Pl. help.
Cheers,
Sid

Hello Jay,
I would like to import central contract to SRM 7.0 via excel file. When I click the import button after edit functionality and choose the file path from the computer and push the upload, button, I got an error message saying File type of specified file C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Contract.xls not supported . Therefore, the excel file cannot be imported to the SRM system. When I also try to import tablimited format of .txt files, I got same error message and unfortunately I cannot achieve central contracts to be imported. How can I solve this issue? Should I check some customizing settings or something?
Many thanks for your guidence,

Badis for Central Contract Replication from SRM to ECC

hi
experts
i am working on a scenario of replicating the central contract from SRM 0.7 to ECC via XI/PI
let me know what are the Badis to be implemented in ECC for the Same
looking forward for your reply

Hi,
You do not need any Badi in ECC to distribute central contract to your backend system.
if your ECC system is on ECC 6.0 enpk 4.0 or more,
you can directly distribute your central contract from SRM to ECC system using standard ESOA services.
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

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
