Confirming subcontracting PO's in SRM

Hi Experts,
Did any of you managed to confirm a backend subcontracting PO in SRM using transaction BBPCF03?
Confirming non-srm backend PO's is possible within the standard, but when I try to confirm a subcontracting PO the system issues the following message: "PO contains no items for confirmation".
I managed to confirm 'normal' backend PO's.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Martijn

Hi,
To my knowledge, Subcontracting process is not supported in SRM and hence you face this problem.
In any case Subcontracting Orders should have a transfer posting through mvmt type 541 for input components i.e(Send materials to vendor) and only then GR could be posted for the finished component.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Confirmation for Service PO from SRM to R/3

Hi All,
We are using SRM 3.0, EBP 4.0 ECS and R/3 4.6C.
I have posted confirmations for a Service PO successfully in SRM and a GR and Service Entry Sheet has been posted in R/3 correspondingly. However some of the confirmation results in the status "Currently being transferred" and R/3 does not get updated with GR and Service Entry Sheet.
I have checked that the workflow has processed succesfully and it is in 'Completed" status.
Our observation - While posting cofirmation for a Goods PO, the GR is posted in R/3 using IDOC. We can trace the same in transaction WE02. While posting confirmation for a Service PO, GR and Service Entry Sheet is posted in R/3, however not sure how this is posted as we are not able to trace any IDOC for a Service PO confirmation.
I need to know how confirmation is posted for a Service PO.
Any pointers to resolve the above issue would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Francis

Confirmation against Backend PO for SRM@ERP2005

Hi,
I'm having a problem in posting confirmation for a B/E PO. I have received an error message in the inbox of the userid that I have used to carried out the confirmation which says 'Entry in outbound table not found'. I have clicked on the linked provided in the message and it brings me to one of the IDOC transactions. In it, I saw additional info such as Basic type MBGMCR01 and status which says Error in ALE service.
I have included message types BBPCO, BBPIV and ACLPAY in the Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views. I remember that there is an additional message type to be maintained called MBGMCR but the system doesn't allow me to maintain this value in that config as it says it's actually a BAPI. I have also tried adding this as a BAPI but the system prompted to enter other mandatory info such as method which I have no clue at all.
Appreciate if anyone can help me and points will be rewarded. Thanks.

Yes , I did check it .
However , I dont think this works for SRM 7.0 extended classic scenario .
I have defined some custom fields in PO and want the values to be transferred to the backend PO .
Does this work with BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI ?

Confirmation for Cash Purchases in SRM

Hello All,
We are running on SRM 4.0(Classic Scenario) wherein the PR,PO and Invoice is done in R/3 and the SC creation & Confirmation in SRM.The prob we are facing is that for cash Purchases,once the Purchase requisition is closed in R/3,the status of the SC is to be updated automatically as closed in SRM or is there any provision wherein we can confirm the SC?
Regards,
Disha.

Hi Disha,
This is not a common scenario...
However, you have to update PR status (manually or automatically via a custom report) and check that SRM report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 is reading PR and correctly updates SC history else you will have to enhance standard behaviour (PR status management and BBP_GET_STATUS_2 report) to match your requirements.
As i do not have a R/3 system right now, i am not able to check PR status possibility...

Confirmation tasks in UWL for SRM 7.0

Hi,
We are currently running SRM 7.0 classic scenario. We would like to have a user's confirmations display in the UWL. From this we would like to be able to use the "Substitute" function of the UWL to assign the task to a different user. Does anyone know if this is possible and how we can get the confirmation work item to display in the user's UWL?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeffrey,
First, check workflow log status for your business object using SWI1 transaction to be sure WI is waiting for approval
Then, check WI is inside user's Business Work Place ( SBWP transaction): if yes, there is a connection problem between SRM and your Portal or Portal settings are not correct.

Problem with Confirmation (BUS2203) Process Controlled Workflow SRM 7.0

Hi gurus,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the Process-Controlled approval workflow for the business object "BUS2203" (Confirmation) in SRM 7.0.
Basically, I've configured it to determine N-process levels, and for each level to retrieve the corresponding agents/approvers. When I am creating the confirmation, I go to the "Approval" tab and I can see all of my approvers there. Nevertheless, the moment I confirm an item (ie, put a confirmed quantity and press the confirm button) first I get the status "Awaiting Approval" and then when I close/or click the refresh button I get the status "Release Rejected".
Has anyone had this problem before with this workflow? Do you know if this is a standard error, or might I be doing something wrong? I tried to look through the OSS notes, but unfortunately couldn't find anything..
Please feel free to provide any idea that may be useful!
Many thanks...
Adi

Hi,
Can you paste your process definition? BRF event and expressions.
Does it work with SAP sample 1 step approval process definition?

CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE indicator in SRM PO

Hi all,
Can someone explain me the significance of the check box "CONFIRMATION BASED INVOICE" indicator under follow on documents tab in PO in ECS .
Why is this indicator not changeable after the follow on docs are created for the PO?

Hi,
If you have already performed confirmation to the ECS PO, then it is right you cannot change the indictor anymore. The invoicing is dependent on the status that GR must already be happened which is stated by the PO checkbox.
You may like to read [OSS note 1536971 |https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1536971] for more explanation.

Can we post Confirmations in SRM for all Backend PO's?

Hello Friends,
I have a query on Confirmations. Can we use SRM system to post GR's for all backend PO's..Which means my PurReq and PO's ,both are created in ECC only. I am not using SRM for cart creation...but i want to do Confirmations for these Backend PO's in SRM system..Is this possible? If yes, what are the limitaitons.
Appreciate if anyone can throw some light on this..
Thanks in Advance.
Krish

Hi folks,
I would strongly say "YES" because i have tested that scenario in my system and it works.
My point is (Irrespective of technical scenario) GR/SE is based on IDoc's and BAPI's. so irrespective of whether you create shopping carts or requirements you can still post confirmation as long as you know the PO's that were created in ECC.
In Krishna's business scenario, he wish (though SAP SRM won't list the PO which are created in R/3) to have the PO displayed for the requester and requester would select the PO to do confirmation which would defenitely require some development interface to ECC. but posting of GR is SAP SRM standard and for that i don't think you need a "PRIOR" SRM documents.
FYI... Login as purchaser, use "Confirm Goods/Service Centrally" to create GR's.
Though it is contradictory to other friend i would say "YES" since i saw it in my landscape. i have also provided solution for someother client(Classical scenario) who wish to supress the ECC PO's in SRM. for that i have applied seperate solution for it.
it is something like a "Royal flush" on my hand hence i am betting on it.
Krishna, Once you start the implementation you will see the standard solution working for you.
Cheers, Renga

Differentiate between SRM Confirmation and Confirmation Cancellation

We have a requirement to differentiate between SRM confirmation and cancellations. In POWL both looks same.
1. Is there any way we can assign different number ranges for confirmations and cancellations
2. Is there any other solution, from the POWL we can differnetiate these two documents
Thanks

Hi,
Check in the confirmation POWL status
1. SRM confirmation posted -- Status - Posted in the Backend
2. SRM confirmation cancelled -- Status -Document deleted.
Check this status

Account Assignment category in Limit order confirmations in SRM 4.0

Hello
We are using SRM 4.0 in extended classic scenario.
When entering the confirmations for limit orders in SRM, users add the limit/ service items.
After SP14 recently, the " account assignment category" is not set in the added lines , same as the
PO .
Rather the account assignment category is the first one from the available list.
Any suggestions / notes for this issue?
Regards
Kedar

Hi,
1. In customising (SPRO) in R/3 you need to create the corrpesponding account assignment category with the relevant fields specified.
2. In customising (SPRO) in SRM you need to create the new account assignment category and specify it as active plus the backend system reference. You can then assign the cost assignment types that are applicable and those that are mandatory.
I haven't got access to a system at the minute so can't give you the menu paths in customising but for R/3 it is under Materials Management > Purchasing and then look for Account Assignment. For SRM it is in Cross Application Components and then look for Account Assignment.
Regards
Chris

SRM 7.0 - Central Confirmation / Goods Receipt

Hi,
We are in the process of upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0. What is the backend role and portal role necessary for Central Confirmation / Goods Receipt? In SRM 4.0 we were able to view all SC's (PO's) that were available for confirmation with the Central Receiver role. I am not able to locate a portal role or iView that is similar to this. The Central Confirmation iView does not populate when refreshing and I believe it is for Stand-alone scenario. We are using Classic scenario.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jef
You can create confirmations for purchase orders with the statuses In Process, Changed, or Confirmed.
The document control settings in the purchase order determine whether or not you can create a confirmation for an item. Purchasers use these document control settings to specify which follow-on documents they expect.
CHECK
Note 1446183 - Incorrect outstanding quantity in EBP confirmation
Currently i dont have SRM 700 box .
in SRM 550 we did not have that status called 'Outstanding Confirmations'
i will check up with my SRM 700 friends and come back to you.
but standard RULE, If the Purchase order is approved then we can do confirmation a any time .
if the POs did not avail for confirmation, you can report to SAP.
it is a defect.
Muthu
ps:- is the PO is limit PO and invoice only. check it up.

Reversing a cancelled confirmation in SRM 4.0

We are currently running SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup. We have had many questions about reversing a cancelled confirmation in SRM 4.0 once it has been cancelled.
Some user who are very familar with SAP recognize this functionality extend in SAP but are seeing that this is not the case for SRM 4.0.
Currently when a confirmation has been cancelled in SRM 4.0 is there any way to reverse the cancellation? Is this functionality available in SRM 5.0?
