Change of GOA in R3

Hi All,
I would like to have a opinion for a doubt. Can we change a SRM GOA transferred to R3 in R3?
I have my own doubts about it....but would like to have a opinion of some expert.
Also, if yes, is there a way of avoiding this?

Hi Teja,
Can we change that SRM GOA in R/3 once it transferred in R/3?
It is clear that if we create followon doc like release order in R/3 it gets update in SRM also. But if we are creating GOA in SRM then why one shld change this in R/3 becasue we already have the functionality of distributting the GOA at Plant level in R/3 itself.
we are woking in Extended classic scenario(SRM4.0). As well as we are facing problem for data trasfer in GOA like internal note is getting updated in R/3 but how this happens in the system that still not clear as till date we were not getting this Internal note replicated in R/3 but this happens with only once GOA. Do we have any way to track this issue?

Release Tab getting deactivated when changing SRM GOA

Hi,
I have created GOA long back.I have also have release PO`s against that GOA. But now when I am trying to change any item level data like condtion or any other data and try to release it that time release tab gets gryed out.
Does any one faced this issue in past...if so then please let me know the probable reason.
Regards.

Hi Navneet,
The release button gets grayed out usually when the contract have some errors.
It could be some problem related to your target value or target quantity. As per my understanding the target quanity/value at the header level always should be more than the release quantity at the line item level.
Also please check the note numbers: 863656, 1082548
which deals with similar issues.
Please award points if the answer was usefull.

Change version not creates some times in GOA

Hello All
there is one piece of field in GOA will not create a change version.
as i know any piece of data changes will create a new versiona and workflow will get triggered.
i wanted to know which field changes will not create a Change version in GOA ?
any ppointers -->docuemnts ,, etc .
muthu

some times change version was not created and approval also not trigered .
From BBP_PD, do you see the new historical version at the bottom of the page? More importantly, was your change recorded in the document?
so i wanted to see what are the field changes in GOA will not create a change version.
should i look only CDI ?
I don't think CDHDR or CDITM would determine if or not the fields would create version. Versioning is very SRM specific.
i could not see any any docuemnts. for eg. if i attach any change version must create right?
I would think so - when you just add a new attachment, a new version should be created. However, that said, I still think the table BBPD_COMP_FIELDS is the place to define the triggering of new version.
versions created. but logs are captured but i donot see attachemnts,
Come again? What logs did you mean? Did you mean that you added an attachment but after you saved it (release the contract), the attachment disappeared?

GOA Contract log wrong

Hi
For eg i change GOA one piece of data now change version created.
now the log says display change document says.
buyer1 :- changed the target value old value 100 new value 200
approver1 :- changed the target value old value 100 new value 200.
really buyer1 only changed the GOA.
why SRM logs shows both are changed the data.i.e Approver1 also changed that data. it is wrong. really purchaser1 has changed the data. Why SRM log shows as Approver1 also changed the data. srm should shows only approver1 approved the GOA.
can any one confirm this in your system ? are you facing the sae problem.
Steps to recreate the problem
(1) Create A GOA , release the GOA and approve the GOA and make ensure that it reached ECC system.
(2) now change the same goa with some data, and release the GOA and approve the GOA .
now you can see the change log .
Is your system also behaves the same?
========================
Note 1294143 - Wrong approval data displayed
Summary
Symptom
You archived a Purchase Order, Contract or Bid Invitation, and later archived the related approval work items.
When you display the approval data of the archived document, the first approval is shown, but in the case of documents that have a change version, the approval of the latest released change version should be shown.
Other terms
archiving, versioning, approve, work item, approval preview, bid, PO, BBP_POR, BBP_CTR_MAIN, BBP_BID_INV
Reason and Prerequisites
Reason - the workflow linked to the active version is saved with the archived document.
Solution
Please implement this note or the relevant Support Package.
With this note, the workflow for the last closed change version is saved to the archive, and used if the archived document is displayed.

Maybe I could take a stab at explaining the situation you encountered.
The "change history" is based purely on the DB table entry changes defined at DDIC level. (The base of it is not part of SRM but part of BASIS). So the change log you see is SRM's presentation of the change document tables, such as CDHDR, etc. My guess to your case is that the purchaser is changing the "Change Version" of the document (version type C) during change and save/release while the approver is changing the "Active version" of the document, which is a different table entry from DB's point of view entirely (version type <space>) during approval, even though with the same change content. You should not have seen the exact same change content by two different persons in the same document version. But with different versions of the document, it is possible and your case.

SRM contract Status change

Hi ,
Can any one help me out to change the status of a contract.
I was contracted a contract using ppb_pd_ctr_create. I want to change the status of the contract to close or delete.. is there any function module available to do the same?
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh basavaraj.

what is the behaviour of contracts in SRM in general.
Q1.- I create a GOA document in SRM, it is distribute to backend system (R/3). In this moment, which is the status of GOA in SRM?
A1 :-RELEASED
2.- Is necessary to activate workflow process to release GOA automatically and then distribute to backend?
A2:- Upon business requirement. Yes every business need approval since BUYERS decision are not final
Q2aWhen the contract is on backend system and I change some parameters in the backend, is there some process to update the status or the parameters in GOA document in SRM? Is there some communication between the systems in this moment?
A2A :- No . you should not change any value in ME32K . no business allows this. you must speak to basis and pull everyone access to edit Purchasing contract. All edit/ massage / change happen only in GOA . evry changes in GOA versions will be created and distributed to backend sytem every time.
3.- I want to activate a non standard workflow process in backend system (R/3) for contracts distributed. How can I do that when backend contract is released then GOA contract in SRM change the status?
you can do mostly busineess needs approval on GOA approval.
RELEASED -status in SRM for good distributed GOA.

Deleted user in existing GOA Responsible Employee

Hi
This is to inquiry about a new behavior seen after SP15 and need your
help to confirm if it's because of SP15.
Before SP15:
When Buyer tried to Change GOA, (where Responsible Employee field has a
user who was Deleted in the System), the system will give a hard error
that "User is Deleted". Buyer didn't have the ability to Change the GOA
Responsible Employee field as the system didn't allow it. Therefore,
we had to Re-instate the Responsible Employee user back live and change
the GOA along with the Responsible Employee field value.
Now:
When Responsible Employee is now deleted, Buyer will be able to Change
the Responsible Employee field value for an existing GOA and Release it.
Please let me know if you see any SAP note that solved this issue.
thanks
Husam

Hi,
It might heppen , if reconsilation jobs are not set in your SAP sytem which does not update user data.
there are some housekeeping jobs need to set for authorization updates as per SAP recommndations to avoid such situations.

OA vendor changes in ECC COntract from GOA

I have created a GOA 35000003 with one vendor 11111 (VN) and released and reached ECC as Purchase Contract.
and
now i could view in me33k contract header -> partner details as OA 11112 and VN as 11111 o.k
now next day vendor master team changed OA 11113 FROM OA 11112 for VN 11111.
Now i create a SC11000012 and PO 70000003 created for VN 11111 with OA 11112 rather than OA 11113 SINCE MY CONTRACT HAS STILL OA AS 11112.
Any one faced this problem?
As per business PO must created with OA 11113 rather than OA 11112 since they have changed in vendor master data.
i could change in purchase contract but that is not good practice. ..
as you all aware as a Business process, we are not supposed to change the purchasing contract at any cost. our changes always must be done in SRM GOA. WHAT TO DO?
Has any one faced this issue?
SG :- plz try this.You can suggest any backend method (no 2 method .no problem) but without touching me32k i want to achiece .already autobos (one of our sdner )advised me do via idoc . but give more insights.take your time.hope you understand my problem. you can ask questions if you need any query on this.
classic:- OA as well as VN both are available in SRM pulled from ECC.(both are same number range)
now
MY VN 11111 vendor told us that no more OA 11112 . so we set deletion flag this OA vendor 11112. (OA - 11112 ORDERING ADDRESS NO MORE LIKE ABONDONED)
vendor may instruct us to set up OA 11113 for VN 11111 and go on.
NOW i touch xk02 VN 11111 as OA 11113
now i may need to touch in contract right?

Hi SG
there are two vendors in two different states so i do have OA and VN relationship.( really names are same but different address vendors). in one state the vendor may get tax exemption.
so maintain VN 11111 ABC LIMITED lnc , FLORIDA and OA 11112 ABC Limited ,DALAS.
NOW i scraped the operation in DALAS , i started new address vendor company in NEWYORK 11113 OA.
so now VN 11111 ABC LIMITED lnc , FLORIDA and OA as 11113 ABC Limited , NEWYORK.
I set deletion flag for 11112 and removed form VN 11111 and new data is IN XK03.
VN 11111 and OA 11113 .
SO i need to change the same in contract to other wise my contract always pointing to OA 11112 ABC Limited .DALAS into OA 11113 ABC Limited NEWYORK.
yes. i do have a OA in SRM side too.
i dont have separate number range for OA and VN.
rule:- The contract still pointing to old OA only.contract has VN as well as OA too.
in SRM , while creating a GOA , i use only VN as my vendor.
since i am in classic, GOA is not my source of supply. purchasing contract only my sos.
I need to know the trick to change the OA without touching ME32K.
PS:- i leanrt and confirmed from SAP MM experts if i change OA vendor for VN vendor in Vendor master , we need to manualy change the contract partner details too...
IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE SET DELETION TO TO MY OA VENDOR 11112 DALAS TOO
I also tried to change some piece of data in GOA like some text added and approved and the same contract. no changes on partner data VIA WEB.
You can ask if you have any questins

WRF02K- GPARN /GPARVW attack? THROW SOME LIGHT
SAP suggest 11111 in BP create ONE MORE ADDRESS OA like NEWYORK as OA and Standard address as FLORIDA and select the the NEWYORK address and distribute the GOA again. but business did not agree..due to some tax and etc.
I tried all the possible ways.

Send Email for Info about new / changed Contract or GOA

Hi guys,
within Contract Management (SRM 4.0) a user has the ability to send an email about a new / change contract to the Purchasing Organizations. In standard the systems takes the maintained email address per Purchasing Organization (PPOMA_BBP) and there is only one entry possible.
Is there a chance to automatically have more than one mail address pre-populated in the draft mail generated? I also would like to know, if and how, it is possible to integrate the email address of each Purchasing Group into the draft email?
Many thanks for all your feedback!
Claudia

I'm not sure how clever SharePoint 2007 was for preventing infinite loops within SPD, this might be a potential cause.
On the alerts themselves, are you aware that the OOB Alert settings allow you to use viws as an alert condition? So, you could set up a view for the relevant fields, set that up within the Alert Options and then ask for a daily summary.

Multiple contract creation in ECC from a single GOA

Hi Experts,
I am working on a solution regarding to GOA in SRM - Contract in ECC creation and i am wondering about the following scenario:
Create 1 GOA in SRM 5.0 for a central/global purchasing organization and when the appropriate BADI going to transfer it into ECC, it creates contracts for all company codes.
At my current client they use GOA but until now they created 1 GOA for a specific p.org and the BADI transferred (and created) contract in ECC for the specific company code (they donu2019t have kind of central/global purch organization unit in ppoma). In the future they would like to create GOAs which are usable for all companies, but instead of creating (and changing) them manually (N GOA in SRM for N contract in ECC) they want to have an automatism.
Does any of you have any experience on this? That would be really good if you can share with me some high level overview about concept.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Attila

Hi,
Let me correct if i am right:
- Central Contract -> new concept of SRM 7.0. 1 contract which is visible and usable from ECC and SRM as well. (not available in SRM 5.0 - agree)
- GOA -> it exist in SRM 5.0 for sure! (we are currenlty using it for ECC procurement).
The solution what you are mentioned is good...but as you said only for SRM 70...we are in SRM 5.0 and we need solution for here. Do you have any idea?
Currently i am thinking about a new solution based on "standard" functionalities: if a GOA need to be created for mulitple company, it has to be populated in Header distribution (all company will have the same contract header). It item detail all the required information need to be poupulate in SRM (i.e.: item 1 for p.org1/comp.cod1; item 2 for p.org2/comp.cod2).
When this is done, the BADI need to check the informatoin in SRM GOA and create contract according to that -> in this case 1GOA is created, but the 2 items for totally different p.org/comp.code, the BADI needs to create 2 different contract in ECC (i would like to avoid using reference purchasing organization in ECC!
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Attila

Distributing the GOA to multiple locations in the same backend

Hello Folks,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 (SAPKIBKT10 Support Package level) with Extended Classic Scenario, with only one backend system (R3 V4.6b) integrated with the SRM system.
Queries:
At GOA header - Distribution, Example is shown below....
Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location A
Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location B
When we distribute one GOA to the backend with multiple locations for the same Purchase organiation.
In the backend system two idocs are getting generated with the same contract number. While processing the first Idoc the system is creating the contract but while processing the second idoc the system is changing the previously created contract, instead of creating a new contract.
So, in standard does the system creates actually creates two contract numbers for two different locations?
Can somebody throw some light on the logic of the distribution
Regds
Amith
Edited by: Amith Varma on Feb 26, 2008 4:51 AM

Hi Amith,
this is normal behaviour of the system in the case POrgs are set up accross company codes. In the Contract IDoc the Comany Code is derived from the location. When the system finds the same company code, it does not create an additional contract, but just updates the already distributed contract.
Cheers,
Claudia

Help on GOA screen control at line item for only material

Hello All
scenario:-
1. create a GOA
for a material with has alternative UOM ( CAR - ORDER UNIT ; 1 CAR - 34 ea) . So i created GOA FOR MATERILA LINE ITEM.
FOR CAR .
2. I released GOA and distributed GOA for CAR as Oeder Unit UOM.
3. now my buyer go to GOA and change UOM as EA and price I AND CHANGE THE PRICE IN THE SAME LINE ITEM.
4. No PO released against the COntract in the ECC
5. Unfortunately buyer could change this UOM from CAR to EA. now GOA shows as EA in the line item
6. this info taken to ECC via IDOC but this info never updated in ECC contract.
7. my PO release as CAR forever rather than EA since my ECC contract always shows as CAR
i can lock this item i can create a new line item, no issues.
how buyer knows each time ? if the system allows buyer always try to change rather than entering new item. it is not buyer fault. it is srm fault.
Now ican u suggest some code in ui control badi , if the PO not releases system should not allow to change the UOM in the GOA line item for a material.
PS:- once PO released against contract . srm will not allow to change the UOM . that is fine.
SAP has to correct this problem and release the note.
Muthu

Hi Donald/SCot/ kiran/ jay...
are you having the same problem in SRM 700. front end validation is required here toooooo...
please help me.
I could not accept this functionality ..
why SRM allows to change the UOM by the buyer after release the GOA for the same line item
if srm allows to do edit, SAP SRM and ECC has to update the same UOM in the existing purchasing contract. IDOCs carry all new uom but why not updated in ECC purchasing contract.
decided to write own logic in ui badi to protect this. what to do
