Contract as a Source

Hi Friends
I have nearly 8000 items, most of them having contract but no sourcelist. While MRP run i want to assign contract as a source to the P.R, insteaded of creating Sourcelist for all the materails.
Pl guide me how can i assign contract as a source for PR, any other way to assign the cotract without creating Sourcelist. Creating and maitaining the Sourcelist for all the materials is a big issues. My problem is while Everytime MRP run it creates nearly 700 PR , its a big headche to assign source to each PR. To avoide this i want to assign Contract as a source for PR.
Thanks
Shivani

Hi
You can assign the source as a contract manually by clicking assign source of supply or using ME56, ME57 but not thru automatically in MRP.
System will check for the source in the following order if the source determination indicator is on for the PR
1) Quota arrangement > 2) Source list  > 3) Outline agreement > 4) Inforecord
Hope it helps
Thanks/karthik

  • Vendors Unable to Check-In Contract Documents (e-Sourcing 5.1 Patch 06)

    Vendors Unable to Check-In Contract Documents (e-Sourcing 5.1 Patch 06)
    When moving to patch 06 for e-Sourcing we found that Vendors were no longer able to check-in contract documents, even though they checked them out successfully.
    On Patch 05 this was not an issue with the exact same configuration.
    Has anyone had any encounters with this? 
    - Is there a permission that needs to be set to something specific?   I tried create/read/edit but that doesn't seem to work.
    Thanks.

    When working with a Master Agreement or Sub Agreement within e-Sourcing you can attach Contract Documents (Word files) that you and the vendor can collaboratively work on. 
    Just like a source control system you can check out a document to make edits to ensure that no one else makes edits at the same time.  You then must check back in the document to remove the 'lock'. 
    On patch level 06 we found that although Vendors could perform the Check-out procedure (On a Contract Document click Actions -> Check-Out) they are not permitted to then check-in the document (Actions -> Check-In).
    Buyside users do not experience any issues with check-out/in.
    Hope that helps clear up the issue.
    Thanks,

  • Contract in E-sourcing

    Hi guys,
    Does every contract handle in e-sourcing have to be created in CLM??
    Cheers

    Hi Julien
    The Contract management functionality + the category management functionality of SAP E-Sourcing are modeled into a seperate application called CLM. Its nothing different.
    You dont need to have both these applications in the same landscape, as CLM is a subset of SAP E-sourcing.
    So answering your question, yes, if you have SAP e-souricing, you can create all your contracts with in the same application.
    No one will ever have CLM and E-Sourcing both?
    Please let me know if this clarifies, or you actually had some other question in mind

  • In the source list contract Number is  not showing up.

    On 10.11.2010
    we added this Material 2211583 to contract 4600000149.
    When we do display source list it is still not showing up.
    Contract  4600000149  Validity Start  04.02.2008   Validity End    31.12.2009
    We have changed validity End date for Contract to 31.12.2010;even then it is not showing up in source list
    Is there any possibility to get Contract number in the source list
    Thanks in advance
    SAP MM

    what did you do to get the contract into the source list for this item?
    it does not create a source list item by itself, only because you entered the item in a contract.
    You can either create the source list entry from the contract via menu. or you have to enter the contract manually  in ME01 or you generate the source list with ME05

  • Why SAP keEp editable Contract FIELD /ITEM in the workarea sourcing cockpit

    Hi All
    Why SAP kept editable (easy to enter) a contract in the work area of the sourcing cockpit.
    since buyer may enter irrelavant contract w.r.t shopping cart right.
    Any specific reason?
    Unfortuntaely buyers enter any contract which is not relavant to contract details to create a PO...
    PO also successfully created w.r.t contract and PO release values are updated in contract too.
    Hope that for specific reason SAP kept the same as easy enter. why?
    buyers can use  propose source of supply right? why SAP made it editable entry here .Why design kept CONTRACT entry become manual. here . it really confuses me .
    Thanks

  • R/3 Contracts Do Not Show as Source of Supply in SRM/EBP

    We are implementing SRM4.0 connecting to a backend R/3 Enterprise (470) instance in a classic mode.  "Standard" functionality should allow us to see backend R/3 contracts (by material group) when in the source of supply tab in the SRM shopping cart.  None appear.  We want to be able to select the backend material group contracts from the source of supply tab - this was standard in previous versions (of SRM/EBP).
    Did we miss a new configuration setting?  Is anyone aware of a potential "fix" for this?  (All RFCs, etc work fine).  We are not interested in replicating the R/3 contracts to SRM.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.....Kyle

  • Source Determination for contracts via ME25

    Hi All,
    We are using ME25 to create PO's. During source determination, a
    contract that is valid on the delivery date but not on the current date
    is not suggested as a possible source of supply though it has been
    maintained in the source list.
    We know that this is programmed this way.Check is always carried on the
    basis of current date. Though the delivery date falls within the
    contract validity date, the system does not suggest the contract as a
    source since the validity of that contract has not yet started or it is
    not matching with the current date.
    But we want the system to suggest the contracts as a source of supply,
    though the validity of the contract has not yet started. we want the
    system to suggest the contracts which are not valid on current date(but
    valid on a particular delivery date) also.
    SAP notes 44368 and 427864 suggest that this can be achieved.The note
    427864 also tells that "selection with a date other than the current
    date could lead to problems (for example in case of MRP runs).With the
    corrections of Note 44368 you can solve the problem".
    It also says as below:
    "The attached correction instruction solves the problem described in
    this note. However, these corrections might lead to other problems.
    Therefore these corrections are not implemented in the standard system."
    It says it might lead to other problems also. But it didn't mention the
    exact problems.It would be great if you can list out the MRP run and
    other problems and suggest us.
    We want this functionality. One more note 116464 is also related to
    this. Suggest us which are the notes to be applied. We are currently
    using SAP 4.7 Version.
    Thanks in advance.
    Warm regards,
    Shankar Goud.

    Hi,
    I am not sure that there will be any problems by changing this if you do it the way that the note indicates. I would suggest that SAP are quite right to effectively say "We have designed our system to use the current date, if you want to use anything else then you MAY have problems" (because effectively this is what they are saying).
    It is a heavily integrated system and changes like this can cause unforeseen problems, but if you are going to test it thoroughly then it SHOULD be OK.
    I would agree with SAP in that it is far better to NOT make this change, but if you really need to do this as part of your business process then you may have no other choice.
    Have you thought of bringing the date of the contracts forward to the current date when they are created and controlling their use by setting the source list dates to the dates you want them to be used? This may not work and it too is a scary change but it might be worth having a play with it in your sandbox system (also set the source list as mandatory on the material master if you want to stop manual POs from being allocated too early).
    So I guess I am saying go ahead if you have to but beware the warnings (even though they may be unfounded).

  • SRM 7.0, PO details are not getting populated in Contract History Tab

    Hello Folks,
    I am stuck with an issue and would need your help regarding that.
    Scenario: (Extended Classic Scenario) SRM version 7
    A catagory Contract is created.
    Shopping cart created with Contract as the source of supply.
    Once the SC is approved PO is generated.
    Now if we open the contract and view the History tab, under Tracking PO details should appear.
    However we are not getting any details of the PO in the Contract. Could you please suggest where to look, to resolve this issue.
    Your inputs will be highly appreciated.

    Since we are in SRM 7.0 ECC 6.04 Ehp 4,  with PI 7.11 + ROS and no SUS.
    doent the system uses ESOA Service for PO replication.
    We did CCTR / CPPR scenarios too. Both are sucessful.
    Do we need to impl BADI PUR_SE_PO_INTERFACE_OUT_SELECT
    But thats for Service hierarchy and Service POs -  We dont have Service hierarchy or SUS in our SLD.
    IF PO replication also uses PI, what configuration do i need to do?

  • Creation of backend contract from SRM system?

    Dear Experts,
    I am bit confused with the scenario of creation of backend contract from SAP SRM system? It says in few cases, based on the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_Logsys', the system creates a backned contract directly in a backend ERP system. Why do we need when we have central contract?
    We can meet the same requirement through central contract where we will authorize only purchasing organizations of a backend system and block the contract for local sourcing in SRM?
    Secondly, How to find a contract / scheduling agreement created in a backend system when a central contract is distributed to the backend system?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hello Ranjan
    question on contracts?
    Note 1476307 - Importing parameter not filled in BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS
    in classic scenario , The Business wanted to create a contract from cockpit or via BID
    this BADI helps
    Symptom
    You have implemented BAdi BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS to control the system in which contract is created in following scenarios:
    1. Creation of contract from an accepted quote / bid.
    2. Creation of contract from a requisition in SOCO.
    In the method IF_EX_BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS~CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE of the BAdi implementation, importing parameter IT_ORG doesnot have any values.

  • Only for Material if Contract Exist - Create PO Automatic (ME59N)

    Dear Gurus,
    When the inventory planned converts a planned order (which comes from MRP output) to PR,  a validation should take place, whether a contract exist for the Material? If contract exist. Purchase order creation should be automated.
    How to achieve this requirement in Configuration settings, only for materials with contract existing?
    Please advice, we are not maintaining any Source list or Info record.
    In order to achieve the above business needs, how to start and how to complete this.
    Regards
    RS

    Dear gurus,
    I have made a contract and maintain source list in ME32K, then maintain Vendor & Material master as Auto PO.
    Now when i try to create PO through ME59N, the system is generating PO automatically. BUt the PO has a Free indicator ticked, which means PO with ZERO value.
    How to Untick the Free indicator, when a PO is generated in background through ME59N or ME59

  • Price is not Picking from Contract while making PO

    Hi Gurus,
    Value Contract for services is created, While making the Purchase Order the price is not picking.
    Note:-The Contract is in Valid Period only.
    Can any one tell me what reasons may be there.
    Regards,
    Prabhakaran M

    As a std procedure while creating PO price won't be picked from contract.  Rather you need to create a PO w.r.t the contract. In that case PO will take the same conditions stored in the contract.
    Else if you are working with sourcelist, then you need to define the contract as a source of supply.  In this case when you create PO system will pick Contract as source and contract price will appear in PO.

  • Passing data from one screen to another(web-dynpro) in SRM sourcing cockpit

    HI Experts,
    i am facing problem in passing data from one web-dynpro screen and assigning the data it to another web-dynpro screen.
    my requirement is that when ever user selects a contract in PROPOSE SOURCES OF SUPPLY screen popup and press only assign only button, the data of the contract should be copied to the shopping cart.
    i have already used the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, but unfortunately it was not working.
    so i tried to use the context, element and other web-dynpro fields to pass the data, i am able to pass the data from the popup to the second screen and able to assign it.
    but when ever i deselect the shoppping cart which has been assigned with the data of the popup and select another shopping cart the data of the above shopping cart is cgetting changed.
    i am unable to figure out the exact reason why this is happeing.i have written code in the ASSIGN ONLY button method to fetch the popup data and in the WDONMODIFYVIEW method of the second screen to assign the popup data to the shopping cart.
    i have tried to bind the elements using the BIND_TABLE, BIND_STRUCTURE, BIND_ELEMENT, BIND_ELEMENTS methods, but nothing is working.
    can anyone suggest me where i am making mistake and try to solve the issue.
    Thanks

  • Purchase info record and Contract are not reflected in SC

    Hi...
       while i am creating a shopping cart in SRM for a particular product... i am not able to find the Purchase info record or Contract in SC - Source of supply tab...

    Plz throw some lights on this...
    thx....

  • Check on open target quantity (contract/agreement)

    Hi
    We would like a check on open target quantity on the contracts assigned to a pur. req. when this is converted (ME58). If the open target quantity larger than pur. req. quantity then we want a new pur req. to be created for the next contract in the source list.
    Do any of you know if there is something standard we can use there?
    thanks!

    Hi
    Thanks for your answers!
    I can't use Quota arrangement, because I wish to use up the first contract from supplier 1 and then switch to contract for supplier 2. I do not wish to supply from both at the same time.
    Regarding the meassage about that contract is exceed will not work either because contracts are made by different organization.
    We want some automatic in case of If the open target quantity larger than pur. req. quantity that will recalculate the pur. req. to the remaining quatity of the contract and create new pur. req. to the next contract.
    I hoped that there was a standard solutionf for that.
