CFolders Link in Bid Invitation

Hi,
I am creating a collaboration in Bidding Invitation in SRM, a Collaboration link is established in bid invitation.
When i follow this link it should lead to the cFolders in client 300.
We have cFolders in both client 100 and 300
I have defined client 300 in my external alias and determined the apllication URL in cFolders
The issue is when I Click the collaboration link it is redirecting to client 100 and giving an error Object of type collaboration no longer exists. This is because the collaborating is geeting created in Client 300 (RFC destination is client 300)
Even though the URL consists of external alias it is redirecting to client 100
Is there any client specific settings required

Dear Subramanya
This may be because client 100 might be your default client.
When you create an external alias ( TCode: SICF ) you have an option to give logon details. pl give clnt 300 there and check.

Bid Invitation history (associated Shopping cart)

Hi
I am trying to figure out the tables where a BID invitation's history is maintained. Basically i am trying to link a particular BID invitation number with the shopping cart number it is associated with.
Can someone tell me which table/function can help me find the link between BID invitation and shopping cart.
Thanks
Nagender

Hi
<b>Try BBP_PD transaction -> Best transaction for finding details of any type of document in SRM.
It will give all the tables involved in this case.
It by default works for BUS2121 -> shopping cart
and change the Business object type from BUS2121 (shopping cart) to the Bid (BUS2001* -> not sure chk it out)
and then give your Bid invitation number and execute it. On the next screen, it will display at least one line, and on the line when you click, you can see all the details of that document. Even the back-end document details as well.</b>
Let me know incase you face any issues.
Hope this will help.

Bid Invitation and Bid Links From cFolders to SRM

Hello Guys:
Currently I have configured the SRM and cFolder integration and everything is working fine, the exception are the links that are automatically generated by the system to go from the collaboration room back to the SRM system.
1.- If I click the Bid Invitation link (the one on the upper left corner) the link that is generated has this format:
http://<Host Name>:<Port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpstart?BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=49A9E5D51768482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
I Think this link is correct, but the new window opens SRM in the bbpstart transaction instead of the Bid Invitation the link is referring to.
2.- When a Bidder creates a Bid in SRM and creates its corresponding Bid in cFolders, the system creates a link automatically a link in cFolders to the Bid in SRM. the link has the following value:
BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=499CE2E1526D482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
But when I try to open the link I receive a "Error Business Server Page (BSP)" Error in a new window. I tried to look for DUMPS but nothing is generated in SRM.
The SRM and the cFolders are on the same instance.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem??
Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

Hi Ganesh,
In Employee Self Service tab we have POWL table view where list of Shopping Cart number are available,right?
In this screen we have "Shop"/"Display"/"Edit"/"Print Preview" buttons.
My issue is when i click on "Display" or "Edit" button it's opening the Portal Home Page, i.e. the First page we are getting after login to Portal.
In the Manager tab we are also getting the same issue..when we are clicking on any of Work items it is redirecting to Home Page..also "Resubmit" and "Forward Button" is a doing the same thing...
hope you'll be now able to understand the issue....
Experts please help...badly stuck in this issue..

How to create a link to open an existing bid invitation?

Hello everyone,
I created a custom web transaction that displays some bid invitation information. I need to create a link that opens the same bid invitation in transaction BBP_BID_INV.
When I used "CALL TRANSACTION", I got the SAP GUI version. I need to get the bid invitation opened in Web Version (service BBP_BID_INV).
Your help is appreciated,
Abdullah Azzouni

Hello Marcin,
Well, I'm using this function module to display certain information users will need. Some users would like to be able to access the existing Bid Invitation transaction in order to change some information. This is why I need a link in my custom transaction to do that.
It would make more sense to call the existing transaction BBP_BID_INV. I could call it at the moment, but I get the SAP GUI version. I need the web version.

Abdullah

Hi All,
What type of documents can we send with Bid Invitation? What are the advantages using cFolders with Bid Invitations.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Foll are the settings reqd:
--.define a LS for cFolders( you have to duplicate SRM LS if it is on the same server)
-->define an RFC destination for this system (even if same as SRM)
-->define a backend system of type cFolders in SRM SPRO
-->activate SICF cFolders service (with external alias)
Normally the collaboration area should be displayed in document tab in the Bid inv screen.

Restrict access to bid invitation cFolder documents

SRM Experts,
I have a requirement to restrict access to bid invitation cFolder documents.
Here is the scenario:
Buyer1 creates a bid invitation and a cFolder. We do not want any other buyers within our organization to access this bid invitation cFolder.
How can this be achived?
At this time, if a buyer (ex: Buyer2) has access to create a bid invitation or view a bid invitation, the system is automatically gives Buyer2 access to cFolder created by Buyer1.
This needs to be restricted, any advice would be appreciated.
Note: BADI BAdI BBP_CFOLDER_BADI is already deactivated in the system
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks

PO Creation error after processing bid invitation

Hi Guys,
I need small help from you. I have created one bid invitation with out shopping cart. I had processed the bid invitation. Few vendors have submitted their bids. Purchaser had accepted those bid and approver had approved those bids. Now I have the option to "Generate PO" and "Create contract". If I click on Generate PO button I am getting an error that Purchase order has not been created.
I am unable to process further. Please help me. I have maintained PO number range in both the systems means in R/3 and SRM. Transaction types are also maintained in both the system. What else settings I need to configure?
if i click on "Create contract" buttion then I am able to create Contract in SRM system in held state. When this Purchasing contract will be copy to Backend system? once I chance the Contract status to release then this will be copied to backend?
My requirement is to create Purchase Order ?
Regards
Apparao a

Hi
Please provide your system version details.
In the bid invitation, the Follow-On Document field must contain the entry Purchase Order or Contract.
· In the case of bid invitations that are created manually, purchase orders are local only (product category is not relevant). In the case of direct material purchase orders, a copy (that cannot be changed) is created in the backend. Whether or not it concerns direct material needs to be stated in the item details in the bid invitation. You must specify the goods recipient and purchasing group. Also:
-> Outline levels can be displayed in a local purchase order
-> Bid invitation texts, bid texts, and documents are transferred to the purchase order (however not internal notes).
Also refer to this link for configuartion settings ->

Url for public tender/bid invitation?

Dear Gurus,
We are configuring public tender/ bid invitation document in our SRM server 7.01 (SRM 7 enhancement pack 1).
We have created a bid invitation document of type public. It has gone through approval and got published. We have not configured the system for decoupled bidding (bidding response from SUS available from SRM 7.01).
In which portal, the bid invitation will be published? is it the supplier portal or there will be separate portal link available for the same? Could you please give me a hint where to look for the public tender?
Secondly, who will get to see the public tender? Are only the suppliers present in the SRM system or any supplier who is even not registered with the client can see the public tender?
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Dear Ranjan,
Your requirement can be achieved with the press tendering(paper add or advertisement on company website), where the client will be giving the details related to the Bid invitation so that the suppliers can view them and if interested they can register themselves to access the bid invitation and proceed with the follow on activities for response submission.
As you have mentioned , you can publish a link in the client main page referring to the Bid invitation with details and asking the interested suppliers to registered themselves via supplier registration url , so that a corresponding business partner will be generated for them in the SRM system and at the same time purchaser will be notified with the interested suppliers.
Once the supplier is registered, then they can access the bid invitation with there login credentials.
But at no point of time suppliers without registering in the SRM system can access the Bid invitation.
Hope this will answer your query.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rahul

If you want to stop the BID email notification completely, you can do that by deleting the entry in the configuration setting "Define Recipient of the notification"

Hello Manil,
this is because for transaction type concerned (linked to transaction category BUS2202 - Supplier Quote), an event schema is customized (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Define Transaction Types)
This event schema (IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Event and Event Schema for Alert Management > Define Event Schema) has the event SUBMITTED.
If you do not want any longer this event to be triggered, create a new specific event schema (based on the standard one), but without this event.
Then, assign this new schema to the concerned transaction type instead of the standard one.
For notification (event category "Message"), mail layout is managed in standard by smartforms BBP_OUT_EXCEPTION.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hi ,
We are using Plan driven procurement ,bidding in ECS.Our requirement is as follows, we have multiple requirements(External requirements) transfered from R/3 with same material and same delivery date to same delivery place, we need to create one bid invitation line for all the requirements.
In the standard system it is creating one bid invitation, but it has multiple lines on the bid invitation, one line for each of the external requirement.
Is there any way to group the requirements into one line in bid invitation.

Querry on Bid Invitation processing and comparision

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to get multiple line items in a Bid comparision list if a bidder has sent the multiple line items .
where are they are viewed at the time of display Bid fuctionality.
I would like to see all the line items which one bidder has sent to the purchaser .Because currently only first line item is only getting displayed.
Can anyone please suggest what has to be done on this point.
Regards
Sairam.

Hi,
1. make sure email set up is done as per note 455140. To send e-mails after bid is published for the bid invitation transaction 'BID' attach relevant event schema. This will take care of sending mails whenver bid invitation is published or changed.
2. Provide the role BBP_EC_SUS_BIDDER to the bidders to enable them to see bid invitaions and send bids from SUS portal. For this you also need to enable SSO (single sign on) between EBP and SUS. Please refer the below link for further information.
sending RFQs from SRM EBP to SRM SUS
3. It is possible to down load the Bid invitation. Further update the mail id of the bidder with your id so that you can receive the bid invitation smartform. This you can take a print out and send it to bidders. You can make config setting in SPRO 'define actions for document output' to send the bid invitation smartform.
Hope this clarifies all your doubts here.
