Cfolder in two envelope rfx
Dear SAP SRM Guru's,
I want to ask about cfolder in two envelope process, i configured cfolder base on sap help, and what i read in SCN
The process that i understand are:
1. Purchaser with role SAP_CFX_USER and SAP_CFX_COMP_CREATOR, create RFX, automatically a in cfolder system will create a folder called a technical details in collaborative scenario,
- My question are : can we automatically change the name of the folder? or we have to change it manually?
2. after the rfx publish, the bidder with role SAP_CFX_USER will create the technical rfx response, the cfolder system will automaticallly create a folder in the technical detail folder created by the purchaser, the folder will be name based on username bidder, maybe the structure will be like below
-Technical Details
-- Technical_bid
--- Supplier2
---- Tech_bid
My problem for this process are :
- when i log on using the bidder user, i cannot see the technical details folder, so after that i log on using adminstrator, and gave authorization to the bidder user in Technical Details, after that i can see the technical detail folder, is it the correct way to use the cfolder? so i have to gave authorization manually to the bidder?
- may next problem is when i have two bidder, the bidder can see other bidder folder, is it the behaviour or there something i miss?
can someone help me?
Hello Aditya,
Answering your questions one by one...
1. Can we change the Folder name "Technical Details"?
Yes , we can. This is set via the code in class /SAPPSSRM/CL_TECHBID_CFOLDER method /SAPPSSRM/IF_TECHBID_CFOLDER~CREATE_BI. In this there is a call
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPPSSRM/META_CREATE_COLLAB'
EXPORTING
i_folder_name = /sappssrm/if_tendering_const=>gc_cfx_name
IMPORTING
e_faultstring = lv_cfx_faultstring
e_collaboration_id = e_collaboration_id
e_public_area_id = e_public_area_id
e_root_folder_id = e_root_folder_id
EXCEPTIONS
no_logical_system_defined = 1
OTHERS = 2.
The constant /sappssrm/if_tendering_const=>gc_cfx_name is the "Technical Details" is the name and you can change the name by performing the enhancements here.
2. Do you need administrator to provide access to folders for bidder?
No certainly not required. Generally at RFX Response creation system will provide read/write authorizations to the bidders for specific folders. This is handled in the code and you would not require an Administrator intervention here.
3. Bidder having access to other folders?
This is a result of your manual assignment. The standard code ensures none of this happens.
Thanks and Regards,
Veera

Hello ,
We are on SRM 7 EHP1 .
Netweaver Portal Version 7.3
We are trying to implement Two envelope bidding
I have a purchaser role and when i try to create a two envelope Rfx, I am able to open.
After the Rfx gets opened , when i click on Technical Rfx , i was getting an error like No Iview available for system SAP_SRM object "TechResp".
I consulted my portal consultant and he replaced my SRM 7 Strategic Purchaser with SRM 7 Ehp1 Strategic purchaser
Now when i click on Technical Rfx , the error is not repeating but a blank screen appears.
I have followed all the configuration given in the below
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm701/helpdata/en/a7/ea98848f574388ab21778ddb306c4b/frameset.htm
Thanks
AdityaThanks Sam for your inputs but i have already made all the settings mentioned in the cfolder settings link that you shared.
I wanted to check if there are any more cfolder settings which needs to be taken care apart from what is mentioned in the link.
Just to give you more information , our cfolders is defined in the SRM system itself. So i have created an RFC which points to SRM itself and leaving the user name and pwd blank in the Logon data tab of RFC connection but for point no. 3 where it is mentioned that RFC user must be given the SAP_CFX_USER role , since i have no RFC user , I couldnt assign any roles.
Is this correct ?
And in the config step , Basic data for Technical RFX Response folders , where the default five folders related to two envelope bidding are listed, these should get created as soon as the Purchaser clicks on Technical rfx as per the help.sap documentation but in my case , it is not redirecting to the Cfolder collaboration room.
Want to also check that in Portal, are there any Cfolder roles or any other role which needs to be given to the Purchaser ?
To summarize the steps i have done till now.
1. Have performed the two envelope bidding config steps mentioned below.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm701/helpdata/en/a7/ea98848f574388ab21778ddb306c4b/frameset.htm
2. Have performed the Cfolder settings mentioned in the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/43/143d2e25fc2be8e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
3. In SRM GUI,
Have assigned Purchaser with
a.Strategic Purchaser EHP1 role
b. SAP_CFX_USER
c. SAP_CFX_ADMINSTRATOR
In Portal , have assigned Purchaser with
a. Strategic Purchaser EHP1 role
And Hi Lalit, Good to hear from you. Thanks for your inputs . Your points 1 and 3 have already been taken care.
I tried adding the Cfolder link to the ITS_DEST but it didnt help. Can you help me with any more pointers.
Thanks

Change Mail content for standard mail 'Simultaneous logon approval required' in 2 Envelop RFx
Hi Experts,
Please suggest, we have a requirement where we need to Change Mail content for standard mail 'Simultaneous logon approval required' and Simultaneous Logon Successful in 2 Envelop RFx in SRM.
Thanks.
Regards,
GauravHi Gaurav,
please implement BADI /SAPPSSRM/BD_SIM_LOGIN
Enhance Simultaneous Logon
Use
You can use this Business Add-In (BAdI) to incorporate customer-specific functions into the initiation and completion processes for simultaneous logon and to adapt simultaneous logon e-mail notifications.
Method PROCESS_FINISH
You use this method to add customer-specific functions to the simultaneous logon process. This method is called on completion of the simultaneous logon process.
The following parameters are provided
IV_EXT_GUID
Process ID of the external process
IV_MODE
Indicates the mode of the e-mail function (completion)
CV_SUCCESS
Indicates whether the process was successful
IV_SET_GUID
Process ID of the customer-specific process
Method PROCESS_INIT
You use this method to add customer-specific functions to the simultaneous logon process. This method is called on initiation of the simultaneous logon process.
The following parameters are provided:
IV_EXT_GUID
Process ID of the external process
IV_MODE
Indicates the mode of the e-mail function (initiation)
IV_SET_GUID
Process ID of the customer-specific process
Method SIM_EXT_MAIL
You use this method to change the content of the e-mail sent to participants on successful initiation, completion or failure of the simultaneous logon session and to define the external process that is calling the simultaneous logon application.
The following parameters are provided:
IV_OBJECT_ID
Business object identifier
IV_MODE
Indicates the mode of the e-mail function (initiation, completion or failure)
IV_EXT_MODE
Indicates the external process, for example, technical RFx response opening, of the calling application. This could be any process for which you want to use simultaneous logon.
CT_MAIL_BODY
Content of the e-mail
CV_MAIL_SUB
Subject line of the e-mail
Standard settings
If the customer does not define a BAdI implementation, SAP delivers a default BAdI implementation. The default implementation incorporates the simultaneous logon process with the two-envelope RFx response process. You cannot use the simultaneous logon process with standard RFxs in the default implementation.
Activities
Information about the implementation of BAdIs in the context of the enhancement concept is available in the SAP Library for SAP NetWeaver under BAdIs - Embedding in the Enhancement Framework.

Hi All,
Two envelope bidding is available in SRM PPS and also in SRM 7 ehp1.
Pls suggest what is the best option choosing which one to go for, if our requirement is to use bidding with two envelope.
Abdul RaheemHi Abdul,
You can use the Two Envelop bidding directly in 7.01 by activating the business function - SRM_SOURCING_1. This will create new node in customizing - Extended RFx.
For PPS the customer needs to buy a license. You can go through the help link below to see if PPS has anything extra to offer based on your requirement that can't be fulfilled otherwise.

Does anyone knows whether we can open both Technical and Pricing envelope in one Open Date and Time instead of approving Technical Document first and then open Pricing envelope.
In a nutshell, we are using SRM 7.0 with PPS add on and like to use two envelope bidding, but does not want to approve technical first to see the price. We want to open both at same time and date. Please help.
Thanks
AnitaHi Anita
SRM PPS module's one of majaor advantage is Two Envelope Tenders where we can oen the technical bid first, analyse & only for technically accepted bids the Price/commercial bid will be opened.
If you don't want to use this functionality than you have the option to create a SIngle BID where the vendor will quote both technical & commercial details.
Both above described cases are SRM standard functionalities available in SRM 7.0 only.
Choice is your's. I hope I was able to address your querry.

Hi guys
I would like to know if SRM7.0 standard has this option, or i have to activate Procurement for Public Sector Functions (SRM_PPS). If i activate this option, i will have troubles with no Public sector companies? After activate this function the system will show some special field mandatory only for public sector companies ?
Can i use this function to other kind of business or only for Public Sector companies?
Forgive me my bad english.
Best regards.
Edited by: Ataide on Mar 8, 2012 2:33 AMHi,
I would like to know if SRM7.0 standard has this option, or i have to activate Procurement for Public Sector Functions (SRM_PPS)
->You have to activate PPS Function.
If i activate this option, i will have troubles with no Public sector companies?
->No you will not have any problem with SRM basic functionality. PPS will just offer you additional functionalities.
Can i use this function to other kind of business or only for Public Sector companies?
->It depends upon requirement. You can use the way you like. But as name states these are special features provided in SRM.

SRM error 'process time remaining' for Rfx
The simultaneous opening of the RFxs were performed. But it was not possible to open the offers as the system was showing ' process time remaining'. At that time the times remaining for the 3 RFxs was shown around 4 hours 30 minutes. The offers were tried to open next day. Again the system was showing ' process time remaining', but the time remaining for the 3 RFxs are shown about 2 hours .Please suggest .

Simultaneous Logon at RFx Response Opening
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm702/helpdata/EN/38/37aa392d61407089454548b98355a8/content.htm
Also as far as I am aware, by default, simultaneous logon is only available for RFXs with two-envelope RFX responses. The following is a detailed explanation of the process from 1 of my colleagues:
Two-Envelope response opening process:
01. Buyer creates a RFx/Bid invitation with the transaction type that
is configured for two envelope bidding.
02. Enter the mandatory datas: submission deadline, bidders, items,
permissions for technical/price/tender fee opening, etc
03. Publish RFx.
04. Login with bidder and "Participate" to receive emails.
05. If tender fee is requested, then pay tender fee with bidder user.
06. Create a Response with bidder user and submit.
07. Now you have to wait till the submission deadline has been passed
to give the chance for the other bidders to participate in the RFx
process.
08. After the submission deadline has been passed the buyer has to
"Initiate Price/Technical RFx Response Opening" for a certain given
time (which can be set earlier.)
09. A new window will pop up to start the simultaneous logon.
10. Provide password and hit the approve button.
11. The pop up window will display Technical Opener's name.
We can see the time remaining to perform the Technical opening
12. In the next step, we will have to login to perform the technical
opening. Do NOT close this window or do NOT logoff from the portal.
If you think you will require more time to perform the technical
opening you can extend this time. This will give additional minutes
to perform the opening.
13. To perform technical opening:
Login to WTS or open a new session of Internet Explorer and login
to Portal. At this point in time, you will have two sessions:
- one on your local computer
- and one in WTS/New session
14. Open the rfx and click on Open technical rfx response.
15. The Technical Opener/Reviewer now authenticates himself/herself by
entering the password. After it hit "Approve" button.
16. In the next step you will receive a message:
"User approval successful"
17. The Simultaneous Logon and opening of technical/price RFx response
is now performed.
18. Hit on Close button to close the pop up.
19. Hit on Close to close the RFx screen.
20. You have to wait till the Response opening time has been passed.
21. After the time has been passed the Response can be opened.
If the document changes in the meantime and if it needs approval (no
automatic approval is configured) then you have approve the documents
in the process with a given user.
I hope that this helps.
Kind regards,
Conor -
Bidders names are being shown to puchaser before the submission dead line date
Dear Experts,
We are using SRM 7.0 for e-procurement.
as per the standards, the bidders names who got registered/participated in this tender should not be visible to purchaser before the deadline date. But in our case, it is being visible to purchasers at 3 different places even before the submission deadline.
The places are
- Queries and replies button from purchaser
- Tracking tab from purchaser side
- in C-folders where the bidder uploads the document.
Any suggestions on how to avoid this?
Thanks & best regards,
RamanaHello Ramana,
do you use PPS?
If yes, what about Two-Envelope RFx Response using the business function SAP SRM
Procurement for Public Sector Functions (/SAPPSSRM/SRM_PPS)?
As of SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management 7.0 (SAP SRM 7.0), you can also use a two-envelope RFx response procedure (business function SRM_SOURCING_1).
If it does not match your requirement, you can use WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW BAdI from WD_BADI enhancement spot in order to hide concerned fields.
Regards.

Hi friends,
We are using SRM 7.0 with PPS. I have configured cFolder for Two Part Bidding. I am facing problems for Opening Technical Bid. Before opening date and time I am able to access files attached by vendor through cFolder. Is there any provision to give Opening date and time in cFolder. Am I missing any configurations?
Please suggest me.
Regards,
AbhijeetThanks Saeid Hasani & Dan Guzman for the information.
Dan, to answer your question "Why you need schemabinding here". This function is used in a computed column, I want that computed column to be
PERSISTED, and as far as I know all functions used to compute the value of a computed column have to be deterministic if we want that column to be
PERSISTED, and what I know also is that if we want to convert a function to deterministic we have to add
WITH SCHEMABINDING in
the function definition ...
So is there a way to make this function deterministic without
WITH SCHEMABINDING ?
OR is there a way to make a computed column
PERSISTED without its functions to be deterministic ? -
Hello Experts,
I have defined default folders for cFolder in SPRO of SRM.
When I create a 2 envelop RFx and display the cFolder from the link in the collaboration folder, I only see a folder under Public area but none of the folders i had defined in the SRM config.
Am I missing any additional config here.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have figured out how to print an envelope with a return address, and proper layout even without the bar code (Hello Apple - it's 2015) and the limited text formatting options, but now Contacts prints two envelopes with each print request.
The problem is that every other envelope prints the addressee name in the line where the street address is on the correctly printed other envelope (which is what I see in preview window). No street address, city or zip, just the name in the line where the address should be.
Under the Preview window within the print dialog window is this 'Two addresses()'
I dont see another address card anywhere for this contact, so where is the other address that I need to delete to stop wasting envelopes?Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
Then go to Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data and double-click that. -
Duplicate messages and duplicate Envelope Index files - why?
I am getting duplicate emails in my Mail POP account. I thought it would be a good idea to rebuild after deleting the Envelope Index file. I discovered that there were two; Envelope Index and Envelope Index-1. It occurred to me that would be a problem. I deleted both and started Mail and rebuilt and they are both back! Why would there be two of these files? Is this the cause of the duplicate mail problem? How do I get rid of the extra one?
I should add that several of the Envelope Index files are in two different places; the bulk are in Library/Mail/V2-Temp.noindex/MailData/, the rest are in Library/Mail/

Print two addressees on one address from Address Book
Hi,
I would like to send out a mailing to friends and family. I would like to print all the names of individuals living on the same address on the same envelope. Address Book wants me to send two envelopes, one for each, it seems.
Any solutions for this?Nowadays, this means that they must share a single iCloud account. If they do that, then yes, they will share all email for that iCloud account. If they also want to use other features of iCloud (they do not have to enable these) like backups and synchronization of contacts, notes or documents, then they will also be sharing the same storage for things. That may cause clashes, if for example, they maintain separate contact lists.
There is no reason that they cannot create another AppleID using a free email address (gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo, or whatever) to separate things if they wish to have their own iCloud accounts. This would also allow them to have separate iMessage accounts. If they use the one AppleID for iMessage, then they will be sharing all of eachothers messages as well.
Usually, people tend to find that sharing an iCloud and an iMessage account is less than desirable. However, they can simply get another AppleID and keep those services separate. If they wish to share purchased content, they can continue to use the single shared AppleID for the iTunes, App and iBook stores.
Each service that Apple offers can be used with a separate AppleID, and you can have as many AppleIDs as you wish.
