Classic scenario, where to create Contract and product category

Hello All,
We are using SRM4.0 ( Classic scenario) with non-sap backend system.
We need to attach contract in Shopping cart in SRM.
My questions are:
1. In which system ( EBP or non-sap backed), we need to create contract? and how to create it?
2. In which system( EBP or non-sap backend), we need to define product or product category? and how to create it?
Regards
Neelesh

When you replicate product categories from any backend system, they get created in SRM and update the value of logical system with the backend from which it replicated.
You can only create Product category in standalone. You can try to create the same for classic but maintain log syst value with the correct backend. This is not advisable.
PS : Reward points if helpful.

Ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts

hi friends
ways of creating contract and process flow of contracts
thanks for ur help
regards
krishna

hi,
In the MM Purchasing component, a contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
Contracts can take the following forms:
Quantity contracts
Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is known in advance. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given quantity have been issued.
Value contracts
Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value. The contract is regarded as fulfilled when release orders totaling a given value have been issued.
You can also set up corporate buying contracts with your vendors. These are valid for all plants and company codes within a client (see Centrally Agreed Contract).
You can create a contract as follows:
Manually
You enter all data relating to the contract manually.
Using the referencing technique
As reference document (the document you copy from), you can use:
Purchase requisitions
RFQs/quotations
Other contracts
CREATION OF CONTRACT MANUALLY:
Choose Outline agreement --> Contract --> Create(ME31K)
The initial screen appears.
Enter the necessary data. If you make any specifications under the group heading Default data, this data will appear as the default data in each item.
In the Agreement type field, specify whether you are creating a quantity or value contract, for example.
Press ENTER .
The header data screen appears.
Enter the contract validity period. Check the other fields on this screen and make any necessary changes (e.g. the terms of payment) and define the header conditions.
Press ENTER .
The item overview screen appears.
On this screen, enter the information for each item (material number, target quantity, price, receiving plant, or account assignment, etc.) using the same procedure as with purchase orders.
Material without a master record: leave the field for the material number empty and enter the following:
u2013 Short description of the relevant material or service in the Short text field
u2013 Material group to which the material belongs, in the Material group field
u2013 Account assignment category
You can enter u (unknown) or the category of an account assignment.
u2013 The target quantity and the order unit
If you specify an account assignment category other than U (field A), you must enter the relevant account assignment data for the item. To do so, choose Item ® Account assignments (see also Account Assignment).
If necessary, review the details for each item. Select the item(s) to review. Then select Item -> Details.
Enter the desired conditions.
Enter further text for the item if any additional instructions to the vendor or Goods Receiving are necessary. Choose Item -> Texts -> Text overview.
Save the contract.
Hope it helps..

Replication of product master and Product category

Hi
Please let me know steps involved in replicating
Product master and product category from R/3 to SRM
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
The blogs mentioned by Kathirvel explains clearly the entire replication procedure of Master data from R/3 to SRM.
Neverthless find some points which needs to be taken care during replication :
1. Ensure that the tables CRMCONSUM, CRMSUBTAB, CRMPAROLTP, CRMRFCPAR are duly filled in R/3 system.
2. Endure that SMOFPARSFA table is duly filled in SRM system.
3. Maintain the filter settings using R3AC3 and R3AC1 as per your requirement in SRM system.
4. Set up the Administrative console using SMOEAC and create both R/3 and SRM nodes and define the site attributes.
5. Ensure that all the queues (both inbound and outbound) are empty in both the systems before replication.
6. Start initial load of customizing objects (DNL_CUST_BASIS3, DNL_CUST_PROD0 & DNL_CUST_PROD1) using R3AS and monitor the loaded jobs using R3AM1.
7. After successful replication of customizing objects, load the business objects (material_master, service master) using R3AS.
8. The replicated material groups and product types can be seen using COMM_HIERARCHY txn.
9. The replicated materials can be seen using COMMPR01.
Hope this makes you more clear about the settings required.
Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

Pur Grp and product category changes made in R3E not reflecting back to SRM

Need to investigate why changes made to Purchase Requisitions in SAP R/3 (Purchasing Group & product category) doesn't feed back to SRM.
Purchasing Group and product category changes made in R3E do not reflect back in SRM.

Hi Sanjay,
You should also schedule report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 (updating requirement coverage
requests) to run in the Enterprise Buyer system, so that information on the status of purchase
requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations is up-to-date.
I hope,this helps.

Classic Scenario PO not creating, only PR

Hi,
I'm using SRM 5.0, in classic scenario to R/3 4.6C. My Shopping Carts to R/3 are complete, but is not creating a PO. It creates a PR. If i run, ME57, assign and process, PR is already assigned a Fixed vendor, and PO is created without any further data being added. (Vendor, price, etc)
I'm confident my number ranges and Doc Type settings are correct.
In SRM customising, my 'Define Objects in BE Sys, has vaild P.Group, Cat Id, R/3 Source sys, Always external and PO if item data complete'.
When I trace RFC, RSRFCTRC, it is calling BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE. Not BAPI_PO_CREATE1. Vendor master, set to auto create PO, not using material masters. Mat group and Vendor replicated from R/3 to SRM. Tax is calculated in R/3.
Any help appreciated. Is there a FM in SRM to test why its not creating a PO?
regards Adam

Hi
Couple of reasons might be possible ->
1) Try de-activating all the Custom BADI Implementations using SE19 Transaction (name starting with Y or Z) in SRM System for the time being, and then try out again.
Seems to be some BADI - BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS
BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE might be over-riding the back-end documents creation.
2) Incase above step, does not help, Try creating a PO or PR directly into R/3 system (using ME21N or ME51N Transactions with the Document typeused in SRM), with the same data that is passed in the RFC call (you traced earlier) then see, what is happening in that case ?
Do let me know.

Sub contracting and production time

Hello Experts,
My problem is related to sub contracting and how to reflect the time the subcontractor needs to produce the goods.
My system works as follows.
I create a subcontacting for material A. This material has delivery time 5 days. I supply the subcontractor vendor with material B. This material has also delivery time 5 days.
So, when I set the delivery date to ie 02.02.09 for component A, I get the requirements date for component B to 10 days less than my requirements date.
This means that I need to have B in my stock 10 days before I get A into stock. I guess that this is caluclated using A and B's delivery time and in this case, the five days i meant to reflect the number of days from me to the vendor.
This does not reflect my needs.
I also need to be able to reflect the production time at the vendor. This is the number of days between he receive B and when he can ship A. As this works now, the vendor is given no time to manifacture A out of B.
Second, the time it takes to ship B will be very different denpendent on which vendor who will receive it.
Any ideas how this is done?

GAR

Hi,
Please define the Total replenishment lead time (in workdays) according to your requirement.
There is no point in maintaining the Total replenishment lead time field (in MRP 3 view of material master) for materials procured externally.
In external procurement, the system adds the processing time from purchasing (maintained in SPRO> Materials Management> Consumption Based Planning> Plant Parameters> Carryout overall maintanance of Plant Parameters-->Maintain --> External Procurement), the planned delivery time, and the goods receipt processing time ( both in the MRP 2 view of material master data or in Vendor master data) and uses this total as the replenishment lead time for an availability check with replenishment lead time.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Narayana.

Any scenario where the Condition Contracts are used?

HI I am new to this forum. I have been through the defn of the Condition Contracts but still am not able to understand . Please throw some light on the same with some example.

The condition contract is a document with which you can record conditions that a partner e.g a vendor grants to a set of eligible partners e.g customers.
A condition contract consists of 3 components: 1. Condition contract header which contains info. regarding owner of the condition contract, a validity interval, the document status, currency information, exchange rate, terms of payment etc. 2. List of eligible partners containing the customers or vendors who are entitled to use the condition contract 3. Conditions i.e. the condition records
TYPICAL SCENARIO WHERE CONDITION CONTRACTS ARE USED:
Suppose a pharmaceutical company grants discounts and special prices to a group of hospitals for a range of medicines. A wholesaler must grant these special conditions whenever one of these hospitals places and order. Since the wholesaler has obtained the medicines from the manufacturer at the standard price, the manufacturer must refund part of the purchase price to the wholesaler if the latter has sold them at special conditions. In order to secure these special conditions, the wholesaler employs the condition contract. At header level, the pharmaceutical company is specified as the owner/vendor. Information relevant for settlement such as terms of payment, purchasing organization, settlement currency and exchange rates are also saved in the contract header. The eligible hospitals are either listed separately within the contract or are defined as an eligible partner list externally and included as a list. The special prices and/or discounts are defined in the conditions area of the condition contract. The period of time for which the agreement is valid is defined in the condition contract validity interval. If the special conditions are dependent solely on the type of medicine, you can use condition table A163. This contains, besides the condition contract number, only the material in the access. A release step can follow the document entry, since the conditions are available only after the condition contract is released. Then the special conditions are found in pricing for the sales order and the sales invoice if an eligible hospital has ordered one of the specified medicines.
Kirti hope this answers your question to some extent.

Create followup transaction where source doc has only product category

Hi all,
I have configured the system to allow creation of follow up sales order from opportunity. I have done all the necessary configuration relating to copy copy. When the opportunity has products, I was prompted the sales order transaction type for selection and all works well. However, if my opportunity only has product category maintained, I only get appointments and tasks list and the sales order transaction type that I created was not on the list. Is this standard or that there is something I can do with it with further configuration?
Appreciate any help on the above.
Cheers!
SF

Thanks Ganesh,
This is pretty much what I guess too but just want to be double sure Just want to clarify, there is however an item category assigned for the source document. This is based on the configuration in Item Category Determination with the transaction type being assigned a blank item category group.

SRM - Contract management - product category - SRM 5.0

Hello,
The product category was set as mandatory field in the contract management.
By creating a contract or modifying an existing one, a product category must be selected.
When I'm connected in English, i can use product category search function, and all the product category are populated.
I'm so able to select a product category in the contract
But when I'm connected in French, it is impossible to use the search function because no values are populated.
I already check the transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, but English and French are already set.
Thank you for help.

1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC.

User and product category responsible

Is there any way to findout which product category he is responsible. Any Function module?
Input - Product category
Out put- List of Users(ie responsible for product category).
BR
Raman

Hi,
You will not get the user list from the FM's i mentioned.
You will get the Org ID or the position ID under which the product catgeories have been maintained in the org structure from the tables HRT1222 and HRP1222.
Then using the Org ID/position ID,you can get the users who are assigned under those using the FM's mentioned i.e. BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_USER_FROM_POS/BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_USER_FROM_ORG.
So first query the tables mentioned to get the pos ID/org ID and then pass the OrgID/Pos ID to the FM's to get the user list.
I hope its clear now.

RFC - XI - WEBSERVICES scenario - Where to create RFC Destination

Hi Experts
For my RFC - XI - WEBSERVICES scenario, I have to create one TCP/IP RFC destination on R/3 system with the following details
RFC Destination Name    : XXXX
Connection Type            : T (TCP/IP)
Activation Type              : u201CRegistered Server Programu201D
Program ID                      : YYYY
Gateway Host                : R/3 Details ..??
Gateway Service           : R/3 Details ..??
My Function Module (Remote-Enabled) - u201CZZZZu201D is defined in R/3 System.
This Function Module should be communicated with the target system i.e. NW XI system
As per the Note from SAP Help: To be able to communicate using RFC, you need to define the target systems as RFC destinations in the sending system(R/3)
Target system u2013 XI Server
Sending system u2013 R/3 System
Are my details provided are good enough as per my explanation? Please guide me in this regard.
QUESTION : Where exactly do I need to create the RFC Destination(SM59)? on R/3 side or on XI side?

Refer the following link-
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414700)ID1636235450DB01012070359836134304End?blog=/pub/wlg/1438
what are the inputs should be given to Gateway Host and Gateway Service while creating RFC Destination??
Open transaction SMGW on the R/3 system and choose
Goto -> Parameters -> Display. Beneath Attributes there will be the
entries 'gateway hostname' and 'gateway service'.#

Extended Classic Scenario does not create backend PO

We have SRM 5.0 SP 11 with ECC 6.0 backend (only one comp code, one plant and couple storage locations in the plant). I am configuring extended classic in there with the Org structure having Local Purchasing Org/ Local Purchasing Groups and the ECC Purchasing Org/ ECC Purchasing Groups.
It appears I am missing something; the system creates a Local PO just fine, however, dont see any signs of the system attempting to create a PO in the ECC system (no runtime errors or logs in either system).
In fact, my shopping cart does not show any value for Location (although the Org has the ECC location assigned to the user).
Any help is highly appreciated. Thx.
Raja

ECC 6.0 is ERP_2.0 and not R/3_4.70.
also check the resp org unit consistency with BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE
with the option all object types.
if I am not mistaken there are some FMs to push the copt again
like
BBP_PD_PO_transfer
(pl check the syntax... don't have system)
also check on "bachend prgp responcible" for yr ECS settings
also check the logic if you have implemented
BADI control ECS

Extended classic scenario PO not created

Hi Guys,
Hope someone could give me some hints on this.
This is an isolated case.System works fine for all other shopping cart except for below case.
The shopping cart approved and suppose to create the PO. I could see the PO number generated in BBP_PD for the shopping cart. But the PO not exist in neither in SRM or R3. The status for followon document created is active. There is no any error in transfer reported in BBP_PD for the shopping cart.
I tried to resend the the shopping cart using bbp_pd_sc_transfer but it does not solve the issue.
How could I re-trigger the PO creation and update the PO to R3 again.
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

Try TXN SW01 for the business object BUS2121 and the Shopping Cart number; create a instance and ' execute the method 'Set Released'; this must create a PO if not you need to inform your technical team this error, as it might be a technical error and you can simulate this scenario from SW01.
Please reward point if useful.
Thanks
