Contact Person of the Bidder

Hi Friends ,
We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.
I'm testing the RFx scenarion ...but currently Mail serever (SMTP) is not configured ...so can not test end-to-end scenarion..like actual...so set the checkbox 'Permit Surrogate Bidding" in BP master of Bidder
1) Can anyone please confirm me, whether "Contact Person" of the Bidder is ALWAYS REQUIERED for submitting the RFx Response by Bidder ? Just Bidder can not submit the RFx Response ...(What my thought is ...its req only in case of Surrogate Bidding ?)
2) Without Surrogate Bidding , can I submit the RFx Response by login as a Bidder (or Bidders Contact Person..SU01 id is created when Contact person created....) ...in the Bidding Engine and access the published bid ?....I tried the below URL from the RFx Notification..but once click on the URL, system gives error "Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible." ....
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ramki,
Thanks , but your reply is contradicts to other 2 guys, Nikil and Jay in terms of Surrogate Bidding ...
Nikhil:
"But if you wish to proceed with surrogate bidding, then there is no need to create a contact person. The Purchaser can collect the bid offline from the bidder and submit it himself."
Jay :
"So I guess the answer to your question is - YES, the Bidder has to have Contact Person in order to submit bids, not only in Surrogate Bidding case."
Confusing for me with this contradiction.
Logicaliiy I think Nikhil & Jay is corrcet.
Can you/anyone have afurther opinion...debate
Thanks

Contact persons of a bidder in a bid invitation

Hi all,
If I pass the bid invitation guid or bid invitation number to the function module BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL, the business partners are obtained in th table E_PARTNER table. In this table I am not able to recognise which are the bidders added to the bid invitation and the default contact persons of the corresponding bidder assigned in the bid invitation. Is there any way to find the rleation between the bidder and the contact persons of the bidder? If i know a contact person can i find the bidder of the contact person? Could any one suggest me on this.
Regards,
Asha

I think you can find this relationship in the Table BUT050.
The field Partner1 is the Company (Bidder), and the field Partner2 is the Contact Person. So, if you search using the Partner2, you can get it's Company in Partner1, witch should be a Bidder.
There are some BP in Partner2 that are not Contact Persons, but you can filter that buy serching only the BP with PARTNER_FCT = '0000017'.

How to fetch the contact person of the Vednor in SRM

Hi All,
   I need to display the Contact Person of the vendor which is maintained in XK03(contact person(view)).
     ->How to fetch that name in the SRM ?
    ->Is any FM exists ?
Thanks and Regards
Channappa

Hello Channappa,
Contact person is only significant for Bid Invitations.
For Bid Invitations, you don't have a Vendor but a Bidder with one or several Contacts Persons.
So, when you are in BBP_BID_INV transaction, when you look for bidders to link to your bid invitation, you will find their contacts: this is standard process.
In SAP GUI transaction BP, you will see bidder contacts if customizing done to use BBP_VENDOR_SYNC report to replicate vendors is correctly maintained.

Error while creating the Contact Person in the BP Master Data

Dear Experts,
                I encountered the following error while updating the contact person name either while creating new or editing existing customer.
Error - [Contact Persons - Contact Persons name][Line 1],'This entry already exists in the following tables 'Contact Persons' (OCPR) (ODBC - 2035)' [Message 131-183].

Dear Experts,
                  I am not doing a DTW for the same, i am updating the BP Master manually. It has been a recent occurence since 3 days when the customer is trying to update the contact person the following error throws. I tried updating for the existing customers with no contact person, there in also it throwed the same error.
               To bring to your notice i had a test database for the same customer where in i encounter no issues with regard to the contact person update.

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, whne my phone rings or I receive a text, the phone does not show the name of the contact person only the phone number. I have checked every setting I can think of ?

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, when my phone rings or I receive a message. The phone does not show the name of the caller. It only shows the phone number that is calling. I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of. Any suggestions??

If you are a Verizon user try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.

Notifications not going to the contact person

Hello Friends,
Scenario - When i create an RFI Customer activity in a CSR and set its status to 'Requested Customer'', a notification (more information is required) goes to the contact person and the team lead of CRO (Customer Responsible Organization). If the customer does not reply for 3 days (in case of a High Severity CSR) or 7 days (in case of severities other than High), then reminder notifications (more information required - reminder) get triggered which go to the contact person and the team leads of CRO.
Problem - In the first case,the notification (more information is required) goes to the contact person and the team lead of CRO (Customer Responsible Organization) where as in the second case, the reminder notifications do not go to the contact person, but they go to the team leads of CRO.
Analysis - There are 2 workflows that get triggered when the RFI Customer activity in a CSR and set its status to 'Requested Customer''. The first one sends the notification (more information is required) to the contact person and team leads of CRO immediately. The other workflow checks whether the customer has replied for 3 days (in case of a High Severity CSR) or 7 days (in case of severities other than High), and then sends the notification to the contact person and team leads of the CRO. I have checked the bindings, tasks, receiver rules and the methods in both these workflows. They are exactly similar. The only difference in these workflows is the wait step added in the second workflow.
Do you have any clue as to what is the reason behind the second workflow not sending the notifications to the contact person ?
Appreciate your help and timely response.
Thanks
Prashant

Hello Rick,
Thank you for your response. Here are the answers to your queries -
Question -->Is a mail being sent to the same email address in both workflows with SendMail, and only working in one of them?
Answer --> Yes
Question -->There must be some other difference other than the wait step.
Answer --> The difference between the 2 workflows is mentioned step by step as below -
Workflow for which the notifications are sent to the contact person and team lead of CRO
Step 1 --> Condition step whether the email address exists or not.
If No --> Sends a mail to the LDA (Local Database Administrator) to maintain the email address of the contact person
If Yes --> Goto Step 2
Step 2 --> Condition step whether the Severity of the CSR is High or not
If Yes --> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
If No --> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Workflow for which the notifications are not sent to the contact person and team lead of CRO
Step 1 --> Condition step whether the email address exists or not.
If No --> Sends a mail to the LDA (Local Database Administrator) to maintain the email address of the contact person
If Yes --> Goto Step 2
Step 2 --> Condition step whether the Severity of the CSR is High or not
If High - Wait Step (waits for 3 days before sending the notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
If Other - Wait Step (waits for 7 days before sending the notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Step 3 --> Condition step to check the CSR Status (to check whether the customer has replied or not)
If Yes(customer replied) --> End workflow
If No (customer has not replied)--> Send step (to send the email notifications to the contact person and team lead of CRO)
Question -->How have you implemented the wait step? Does it fetch the address before or after the wait?
Answer --> The email address is fetched at the very first step.
Question -->What happens if you make a test workflow with just the Sendmail step and send to the same address?
Answer --> The notification goes to the same email address.
Kindly let me know if the information that i have provided is comprehensive enough. Your help will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

More contact person items in the header data of a stanard order

Hi guys,
we want to create more than one contact person in the header data of a standard order
(for example contact person 1 --> 215, contact person 2 --> 216)
Transaction VA01 --> Goto --> Header --> Partner
It isn´t possible to create more entries with the same partner function.
I found the table VBPA2 instead of the table VBPA. Here it would be possible to enter more of the same contact person items.
How can I customize the function to enter more contact person items?
Thanks for your help.

Martin

How can I delete the home address of the contact person

Hi Experts,
I want delete the home address of the contact persons in the ERP.
Which data and where can you found it:
In Tx xd02 in the general data of customer - register "contact person" and then button "home address".
There I want delete all fields. When I looked in F1 - technical information I don't get the information in which table the data are included. I know only the structure.
I think the general data of the contact person I have to look in the table knvk.
The private and the business email address I can find in the table ADR6.
In the table knvk there is a field "address number". I know when there is a number then the contact person has a home address and when this field is empty then for this contact person isn't maintain a home address.
Could I delete this field "address number" in the table knvk? Is then the home address automatically deleted?
I don't know how can I delete this field. Can anybody tell me how can I do this? I looked in the Tx xd99 this field isn't available there.
Or does anybody know how can I delete the home address of the contact persons on another way?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Jasmin

Hi,
I am sorry, I forgot to say I don't want delete only one home address. Yes, you are right, then I could delete it manually.
But I want to delete all private addresses, so I should have a tool for mass deletion.
Does anybody know how can I do this?
Best regards, Jasmin

ESS Travel Management - send mail to the contact person

Hi guys,
in the IMG I created a contact person for the travel expenses.
If the employee create a trip and save it, the contact person should receive a mail automatically.
The other way the employee receive a mail, if the his trip is incomplete.
A status mail every week would be great.
Thanks,
Dirk Sorgatz

How to mask or hide the bidder name in participant panel in SRM 7.01 LAC

Hi Forum,
We have a requierment to change the participant bidder and contact persons names with some dummy values like bidder1, CP1 and bidder2 CP2....instead of displaying the real name of bidder and contact person in the participant display window in LAC.
we are on SRM 7.01.
How can we achieve this?
Thank you,
Anubhav Jain

Enahnce the FM BBP_LA_AUCAPI_USER_GETLIST
Logic:
Check if the LAC status is active or ended using the FM BBP_PD_AUC_GETDETAIL table ET_STATUS and change
et_participant-COMPANY_NAME for bidder name and et_participant-full_NAME for contact person name.
Thank you,
Anubhav

Process Bid as Substitute---Contact Person Mandatory?

Dear Experts,
Our customer won't like to use SUS to process Bid but they need to use 'Bid Invitation' as RFQ. It seems the purchaser need to use function 'process bid as Substitute' to matintain the quotation. My question is:
1、Is purchaser have to use function 'process bid as Substitute' ? Any other way to maintain the quotation?
2、If purchaser have to use function 'process bid as Substitute' , is contact person mandatory for each bidder? We have to mass create contact person for every protential bidder?
Many thanks.

Hi Darcy,
There are two transactions to submit surrogate bids and are below:
To do this, the purchaser goes into the transaction Process Bid as Substitute, searches for a contact person and creates the bid for the bid invitation in question.
1) BBP_QUOT_BOB - Process Surrogate Bid
Here you have to select the contact person of a bidder first for submitting a surrogate bid
The purchaser can also bid as substitute within an existing bid invitation by using the Bid as Substitute functions provided in the bidder list
2)BBP_BID_INV - Process Bid Invitation
Here you have to navigate to
Header Data -> Bidders / Bids
-> Here for all bidders with contact person and who have permitted surrogate bidding, you click "Create Quotation for Bidder" button at the right hand side.
Hope this is clear. But a contact person is required in both cases.
Regards
Kathirvel
