Changing Purchase Order Response during Approval

Hi folks,
When are using SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
A PO is created and sent to SUS. A POR is sent from SUS. The POR is outside tolerances and thus needs to be approved. It is possible to approve/reject the POR, however it is not possible to change the POR.
We need to provide the functionality to change the POR during the Approval Process.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Pat

Hello,
It is unclear whether you are working on the MM-SUS or the SRM-SUS Scenario.
We have implemented this requirement.
It works like this
You have Z tables created where you have the Tolerances (% and Abs,+ve and -ve) stored here.
The POR with a variance that flows into the SRM gets checked thro this Z table ( WF for the POR activated) and the if the variance is outside the Tolerance it will reach the Buyer for his approval.On approval it copies the contents of the POR into the PO and this changed PO trigegrs another output into the SUS.
Similarly for an MM-SUS scenario this should be possible as the Conf Control key plays a vital role in failing the Idocs of the POR whose variance is outside the Tolerance.
If you activate a mailing facility to the Buyer for these failed Idocs with in ERP then the buyer can evaluate the POR and the PO and decide on further course of action.
The only limitation in this case will be that the POR contents cannot be copied into the PO but the buyer as to manually copy.
Cheers,
Nagarajan

POR: Changes on Purchase Order Response after saving

Hi SRM Gurus,
I'm currently working with SRM_SERVER 500(SAPKIBKS09) release, I'm not able to change(or delete) an POR once it has been saved. Normaly as an Purchaser I should be able to do that. Is that a std system behavior.
FYI - The following POR has been created without any variances (that means PO and POR data are identical.)
Thx
Raf

if the purchase order response has come from SUS , then it means that it has come from the supplier system.
this means that buyer will be able to compare purchase order and purchase order response , to see wether there are any differences..
system will not allow you to change purchase order response as this has come from different system and this is the system standard behaviour..

Automatic ORDCHG Change Purchase Order after Order response from Vednor

Hi
How to trigger Change Purchase Order action after receiving PO Confirmation - Order Response from Vendor.
The scenario is that Order Confirmation vednors sends contains delivery date or delivery qunatity variance within defined tolerances. In such cases it is acceptable to allow automatic PO change.
This is an EDI scenario. Idocs ORDRSP and ORDCHG in use.
Thanks for hints.
Mariusz

- For automatic document adjustment, you must make the necessary settings in Customizing (SPRO ->Materials Management->Purchasing->Conditions->Automatic Document Adjustment). The system logs all the relevant purchasing documents and can therefore determine all the documents affected by a change to a condition.
- This is only possible for purchasing documents for which follow-on documents (goods receipt, invoice receipt) do not exist.
- Before you run this report, you must have run report RMEBEIN4 (creation of worklist for automatic document adjustment).

Offline approval for Purchase order response

Hi All,
Currently we are in SRM 7.02. we want to know whether offline approval is applicable for Purchase order response (PCO).
I have searched all available blogs but in Vain. Hope someone can enlighten me in this topic

Purchase Order Response Not able to do by the Supplier from SUS

Hi Experts,
During sometimes, the supplier is not in a position to make POR from SUS.
After selecting the PO from Supplier side, when they are trying to do POR they are not able to either select Confirm (tick mark) or reject (X mark) from their screen which means always those buttons are in greyed mode or no action like Green or Red respectively. What could be the reason ? However, they can see the Send button.
Please provide me the input to do investigation.
Thanks
Rajesh K

Hi Rajesh,
   If you are not able to respond for PO from SUS then you have to activate the workflow WS14500001.. Here some more workflows you can check for POR
Workflows
You can configure the following workflows for the purchase order response:
·        (WS14500001)
Automatic transfer of purchase order response data into the purchase order. The system carries out a comparison during the data transfer (background processing). If the quantity, price, and delivery date variances transmitted by the vendor are within the tolerance limits set in Customizing, and no other variances are transmitted, then the data transfer of the first inbound POR occurs automatically.
This workflow is relevant for XML receipt or manual entry with subsequent approval.
·        (WS14500019)
If POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed of this via a work item. As a purchaser, you can decide for each item whether you wish to transfer the data into the purchase order or not.
·        (WS14500007)
If POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed of this via e-mail (with the number of the purchase order).
·        (WS14500017)
Monitoring receipt of the purchase order response:
If the flag Purchase order response expected is set in the purchase order, and if by a certain time a purchase order response has not been received for all items in a purchase order, then you can be informed of this via a work item.

SRM 7.0: Purchase Order Response (BUS2209) functionality, workflow

Hello,
We're trying to configure the purchase order response (BUS2209) functionality. We have configured the BUS2209 document types and numberranges and maintained the 'purchase order response expected' marker for certain vendors. We therefore expected to be able to post a POR via the Purchasing:PO powl however the 'create POR manually' and other 'POR actions' are greyed out. Has anybody been able to post BUS2209 documents in an SRM 7.0 system?
Also if we look at: IMG -> SAP SRM -> SRM SERVER -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Business Workflow -> Define Process Levels -
No BUS2209 object is list, no workflow can be maintained (you can't add anything manually either). We have activated the Process Controlled Workflow for all business objects.
Any help and input is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I did two things:
1) I activated the start conditions for the three POR workflows as supplied by SAP. I still think this has nothing to do with the problem, but you never know.. The setting is located in the IMG under Workflow -> Application-controlled wfl, or similar (I don't have access to the system right now).
2) I created a tolerance group Zxxx with tolerance key PR; I used 'limit as percentage' of 5% in both upper and lower limit. I assigned the key Zxxx to the attribute TOG of a user (with the role /SAPSRM/OP_PURCHASER) in PPOMA_BBP.
This caused the options to be enabled. I then successfully created a PO response manually for a PO, which in turn caused a change version of the PO to be created. This change version had to be approved in order for the changes in the POR to be valid.

Purchase order response(POR) in SRM

Hello SRM Experts,
We would like to implement Purchase order response(POR) functionality of SRM 5.0. The client requirement is to set POR flag at PO item level, expect POR from the vendor and no GR/IV should be allowed either in SRM or ECC until POR is provided by the vendor.
We have the following questions.
1. If POR flag is set, does it stop GR/IV either in SRM or ECC?
2. When POR is posted in SRM does POR flag is re-set in SRM?
3. When POR is created in SRM, does it create any follow-on docs in ECC.
Looking forward to hear from you all soon.
Regards,
Sasikala

Hi Sasikala.
Referring to your questions:
PO Response is just an acknowledgement document by the vendor to state that he is in agreement with the conditions set in the Purchase Order.
1) No GR/IV will not be stopped in SRM or ECC. If the client wants it that ways then I believe custom code needs to be written.
2) No...reason being you can create as many PO Responses as want for a given PO...the latest will be active and all the responses created before that are obsolete.
3) No follow on documents are created in ECC while creation of PO Response as after the PO Response changes are accepted in PO, only then the PO is replicated to ECC again with change version.

Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

Hi
I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
Regards
Rajeev

Hi
You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

SRM 7.0 Purchase Order Response always in status "In process" after confirm

Hello experts,
this problem is similar to the thread [SRM-SUS Purchase Order Response always "In Status"; which has been not finally responded.
My problem exists in an environment without SUS.
When a buyer confirms a PO response (POR) without any change, the system generates a new PO response with status "In process". This new POR has also to be confirmed or rejected but the system generates again a new PO response with status "In process".
So we have a very nice loop for the purchaser without escape!
We are on SRM 7.0 SP07. The other thread mentioned that SAP will create some OSS notes, but I found nothing about this problem.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi Gurus.
I want to share my experience with this case.
We have the same scenario, Confirm PO, the result is PO confirmed, but we receive a response from ECC and this Confirmed PO changes its status to "In Process" / "En Tratamiento".
The new relevant information is that we added 2 new fields to the item PO, these fields are filled ok and sent to ECC.
In a first time these new fields were lost due to the response from ECC. To avoid this situation I implemented the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for BUS2230, and method BBP_SUSPO_CHANGE to copy from the BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2230) rows the values to the new rows in the same table BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2201).
With this change the new documents are confirmed directly and not changed to "In Process"/ "En tratamiento".
That was my experience, now I have a question...
In the correct business process for SAP SRM SUS when you confirm full a PO...
* this will be blocked or no?
* Can be modified the confirmed items?
* This depends of customizing?

SRM Purchase Order Response

Hi Friends,
I am working on a scenario where I am sending Local PO from SRM Srever(EBP) to Vendor R/3 through XI. In Vendor system I am creating Sales Order. Now I want to send Purchase Order Response to SRM Server, which should be automatically inserted in the SRM.
I am sending ORDRSP Idoc from Vendor R/3 to XI Server. This Idoc is Received Successfully in XI. I am mapping this Idoc to PurchaseOrderConfirmation_In Interface. This XML msg.is then sent to SRM using XI Receiver Adapter communication channel. This msg is received in SRM, but with error as follows:-

Suppress PO output in case a PO is updated by a purchase order response

Experts,
we are in SRM 5.0. We are trying to suppress any PO output when a PO is updated by purchase order response. We are experimenting with PO output start conditions (Customizing). No succes until now. We tried to check whether the object status table has status 'Variance in PO response' (I1352). No effect.
Does anybody have a clue or even better, an example, how to achieve this without the use of BADI's or defining any customer fields?
Apparantly when a purchase order is updated via the purchase order response the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI is not triggered, or at least we were not able to debug it, so it looks like this is no option either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help, Maurice de Feijter

Hello Jay, thanks for your suggestion. We are currently implementing SP 14 to 17 in which the note you mentioned is included. Unfortunately PO output is still not suppressed automatically when a PO response is accepted and copied to the PO, even if no content is changed (price, quantity, delivery date ....) .
That is the reason why we were looking for the possibility to use start conditions in customizing. The main problem there it that we do not know how to recognize that a PO change is triggered by the PO response, and how to configure that in a condition. SAP docu does not give any clue.
So, any other suggestion is welcome

SRM-SUS Purchase Order Response always "In Status"

Hi Gurus,
When a buyer confirms a PO response without any change, the system generates a new PO response with status "In process". And so, when the buyer views the new PO response, the "Confirm Response" and "Reject Response" buttons are still active and the buyer can still confirm the response. When the buyer confirms the new PO response, the system will again generate a new PO response with status "In process".
We are on SRM 7.0 SP05. We did not activate the following workflows:
WS14500001 Auto Transfer of PCO
WS14500019 Transfer PCO Data to PO
Would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Kezia

Hi
XI Seems to be good as the XML message is getting processed in SRM and is creating a POR Document. Here are the steps for configuring POR:
1. Define NUmber Ranges
2. Activate Event Linkages and Start Conditions for WS14500001.(this is predelivered in standard system)
3. Configurations for Tolerances for qty and date...
Did you process the POR from PO?
You need to go to Process Purchase Order Response , searched for PORs and then take action on the PORs in pending statuses.....
POR functionality is pretty much straightforward feature which works smoothly.....If you are not able to sort it out using this forum, write detaisl to SAP, they can look into your system

No event raised for BUS2209 Purchase order response

Hi Folks,
Have any of you experiensed that the SAVED event for POR is not raised?
I checked the event trace ( No restrictions) and there is no entry after the POR is saved.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I save a POR that is manually entered via transaction BBPPCO02 "Enter Purchase Order Response " and it has a variance as the message says, "position 1 price outside tolerance limit"
If I test the start condition i SWB_PROCUREMENT I get a TRUE on both WS14500019 and WS14500007.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

SRM Purchase Order Response in SRM 7.0

In SRM 7.0 is there a transaction where a purchase order response to can be entered manually for purchase order or loaded from a spreadsheet? Or does a purchase order response always require XI?

Hi Paul,
We have to use the SRM portal for all kind of purchase order processing like creation, updation etc,. Can you be more precise in your question, so then we can answer from our side.

Adding a new check box in change purchase order screen

Hi
I have to add one custom field a check in the screen for change purchase order in EBP.
We are using ITS.
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regards
Manoj

Hello Manoj,
you can define Customer Fields (CUF) at header, item, accounting level on any document type (including PO).
Adding seach fields acts as old ABAP method of table append, i.e. those fields are stored in standard SRM tables. So you can process your own logic and checks against those fields.
There is a BADI to control the display or not, the input or not, the default or input values.
There is a BADI to control the ergonomy of CUF (by default they are added one after the other after standard fields).
There have been many posts about CUF and linked OSS notes explaining own it works and which includes to use.
