Contracts distributed to CCM

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions regarding contracts. I have created a contract in SRM 4.0 via sourcing. The item in the contract comes from a CCM 2.0 catalog. I have distributed this contract back to the catalog.
1. Should this then create a second item in the catalog ie. one is the original catalog item, the other item is from the contract catalog? At the moment it's creating a second line item of the same product but I just want to double check that this is meant to happen as I read somewhere that it shouldn't.
2. For some reason if I then try to add the contract catalog item into my shopping cart, I receive an error saying "Enter responsible employee". Has anyone come across this error and have a fix for it?
Thanks very much for your help.
Paula.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever distributed SRM contracts to CCM? I'd like to know how it's meant to work...
Thanks,
Paula.

Mapping Contract items to CCM Master Catalog

We have created a contract catalog in CCM which creates a two level schema, the top level being identified by the contract number, the sub level being contract_catalog_classification_schema. The one material item in the catalog is attached to the top level of the schema(the contract number). We cannot map this to our schema in the ccm master catalog, the assign category button is alway greyed out. Not sure what we are doing wrong and pretty new at this, can someone help out???
Thanks

Hi Serguei,
Do I need to map the contract Catalog and Master Catalog explicitly?? SAP documentation on this says:
"When you transfer a contract to SAP Catalog Content Management, the system compares the items in the contract with supplier catalogs and SRM product catalogs that already exist in SAP Catalog Authoring Tool. If an item in the contract is the same as an item in an existing supplier catalog or SRM product catalog, SAP Catalog Contract Management automatically:
1) Copies the additional values available in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog to the contract catalog
2) Maps the contract information for the item to the master catalog, if the corresponding item in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog has been assigned for mapping.
So, the mapping has to happen automatically.. isn't it?

Waheed.

SRM Contract Upload in CCM

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 with CCM 2.0 We have configured XI for uploading the product master data and contract upload using the Intergration scenarios MasterDataInclusion and UploadContract.
When we run the report bbp_ccm_transfer_catalog, the report executes successfully and also in SXMB_moni, it says the message has been processed succesfully, but when we check in CCM, there is no SRM Product catalog created.
also when we create a contract in SRM, and release it, the same is not getting uploaded in CCM. We have checked the option "Distribute to Catalog" while creating the contract and all relevant configurations are also done and working fine. In this also, it is showing that the message has been processed successfully, but no contract is there in CCM.
Please help,
Regards,
Puneet

Puneet,
Hi. I am responing re the product transfer....
With the transaction SXMB_moni - did you run this in SRM or XI. When you transfer the products this calls in XI, and XI calls back to CCM. I found that although our products transfered correctly to XI (SXMB_MONI was correct in SRM) our data didn't call back to CCM correctly (SXMB_MONI failed in XI) due to a locked user id/password error.
Cheers

Contract Management for CCM 1.0 items ? (Not in backend)

Hi guys,
I would like to enable Contract Management (Local & Global) in my SRM 4.0 sp8 environment. However, 90% of the catalog items in CCM (4,000 articles aprox) do not exist in the backend.
My very simple question is: Should I create all this 4000 items in the backend in order to enable contract management in SRM ?
Thanks for your valuable help guys !

Upload material and contract data from file in CCM 2.0

Hi guys,
This might be a difficult one!
We have the following situation in a Client:
We are upgrading a Requisitite catalog (working with BBP 2.0)
to a CCM 2.0 catalog.
In Requisite, one can upload material- and contract data from a file (it is standard funcionality) into the database.
We need to have the same kind of funcionality in CCM 2.0 because our client does not prefer to work with XI (which is the standard SAP solution in these cases).
How can we accomplish this? maybe with some additional ABAP coding!
Our client is not working with Vendor Catalogs but I´m trying to see if we can use a dummy vendor catalog to accomplish material upload in CCM2 form a CSV file.
Anyone had to face this situation before?
If so, please provide some clues how to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Aart

CCM Mapping and Upload

Hi Experts,
I am new to CCM and struggling to make this to work. We are using SRM 5 with CCM 2.0 (SAPK-20002INCCM). I have some questions that would appreciate your help.
1. I run program to transfer SRM Product master to CCM (BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG). I got the catalogue BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG created in CCM.
Do I need to run for Category Hierarchy- Product Subtype? I only ran for Category Hierarchy - Material group which doesn't include service master.
I did try to run for Product Subtype - SRV_SERV and system created Category SRV_SERV under Schema R3PRODSTYP. Now I don't know how to map this to the master catalogue.
2. If I would like to have my schema for Master Catalog as Product Groups (Material groups in ECC6). Is it possible or what is the normal way to implement? Could you also send me the sample file for CSV 2.0 to my email at [email protected] please?
3 Do we always need to use Supplier Catalogue? If I have contracts in SRM when I distribute to CCM, system created contract catalogue for each contract. How do we use them in CCM? Do I need to map to mater catalogue?
Looking forward to your kind support.
Cheers
SK

Hi SK,
First of all the report BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG creates a catalog namely SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG in CCM (CAT).
If you want to transfer product masters from EBP to CCM then choose Category Hierarchy in the above report.
Once you run the report with this (with product categories mentioned) the catalog created (SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG) in CCM-CAT with show you the total heirarchy with the selected matl groups filled with product masters.
For mapping with master catalog you need to create the same category names in master catalog -> schema -> create schema and then create category
Then in SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG -> mapping tab you can map the respective categories in two catalogs.
I will send CSV 2.0 sample to yr ID.
No supplier catalogs are not mandatory.
In fact in our site we are only using SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG.
I have not worked with contract catalog.

CCM in same client. advantages & drawbacks.

Hi everybody,
I am in a new implementation with CCM 2 as purchasing catalog, and I have a doubt. I have read the landscape options document and I understand when I should use CAT & CSE in different systems. But I don't know which are the reasons for deciding to work with SRM and CCM in the same or in differents clients. Some clear thinkings about this?
thanks

Hi
It is generally optional and depends on the complexity of your system landscape - Incase it is working fine in a one single client, then you don't need to go for multiple clients landscape.
Please refer to these links.

GOA distribution to CCM?

Hi,
We have a process where successful bids are turned into a global outline
agreements. GOA's are nicely distributed to the backend system (ECC), but
we also want to distribute the GOA information (contract number) into the
CCM. In GOA there is no such indicator as "distribute Contract to Catalaog"
(like the one in local contracts).
How is the distribution done in SRM 5.0 + CCM 2.0?
We have XI

Hi
1) You should configure XI to transfer Product Master and Contract from SRM to CCM. Please check the CCM Configuration Guide.
http://service.sap.com/ibc-srm
2) You can upload items from text file.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/index.htm
You can also use SRM-MDM Catalog with SRM 5.0.
CCM has CAT(Catalog Authering Tool) and CSE(Catalog Search Engine). If you design the CSE in other client or other server, XI is required for publishing.
Use the "Publish Locally" option in the IMG, Cross-Application components -> SAP Catalog Content Management -> SAP Catalog Authoring Tool -> Specify setting for Publishing Catalog. So the CAT and CSE are same client. You do not need a XI for publishing.
You can distribute the GOA to CCM Catalog also. So that you can see all the Contracts on the CCM Catalog.
If you use CCM catalog from R/3 PM to create PO you can get the GOA data along with the products.

ERP invoice with reference to SRM Basic Contract?

Hi
In SAP SRM you can create a shopping cart or a PO with reference to a SRM Basic Contract by setting the item number to 0 like: 4700000107/0
But with the new Ehp1 SAP states that ERP invoices can be created with reference to a SRM central contract (via SRM_SERVICE_PROC_1). But can you create the invoice with reference to contract item 0?
The idea is to have the non PO related invoices registrered on the basic contract in SRM along with the PO's. A basic contract can't be copied to ERP, as there is no lines on it, but is the ERP contract copy needed for this scenario?
So two questions:
- is the ERP contract copy from SRM needed to use the Ehp1 functionality of creating invoices with reference to a SRM contract?
- can the ERP invoice be created with reference to a basic SRM contract by giving the contract item as 0 or in another way?
BR
Jacob

Hello,
With SRM 70 EHP1 you can create ERP invoice against your SRM Central Contract distributed to ERP.
To enable this you need to do few settings in ERP, for the same you can refer to the config guides available at Service market place for SRM701 releases.
Configuring Contract Handling for Invoices : You use this procedure to configure contract handling for invoices in the SAP ERP system. You have activated the Procurement - SRM Integration 2 (LOG_MM_P2PSE_2) business function in the SAP ERP system.
Steps :
1. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Incoming Invoice -- Activate Direct Posting to Contracts , to allow direct references to contracts when creating invoices and parking documents.
2. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Invoice Block -- Set Tolerance Limits , to set the tolerance key for contracts (PC: Price variance for contract).
The feature is termed as Invoice Reconciliation here.

Rahul

Passing custom field in contract in SRM to contract in ECC

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6 (no EHP). We're planning to use central contract distributed with IDOCs. Our contract in ECC has custom field added in the header. We have tried and successfully pass the contract from SRM to ECC (using IDOC BLAORD03 and COND_A).
I know we can create custom field in contract in SRM, but how to pass the value in the custom field in SRM contract to custom field in ECC contract? Do we need to edit IDOC BLAORD03? Is it possible?
Best regards,

CCM Catalog Mass upload problem

Dear Experts,
Could you please help me to find an answer to the below issue?
We are doing a mass catalog upload in CCM 2.0 => we are uploading our CSV file as follows:
Supplier ID A => Supplier name A => Item details A
Supplier ID B => Supplier name B => Item details B
etc.
Usually, I give the first Supplier ID when creating the Supplier catalog.
The upload process is working fine, BUT...
When the catalog has been uploaded, from the Procurement Catalog side there is only the first "Supplier ID A" what's beeing uploaded to all of the items instead of all the other respective Supplier IDs.
Therefore we have to change the rest of the Supplier IDs by mass changing the respective Proc Cat.
Do you know how we could keep all the other Supplier IDs?
Thanks a lot - imre

SRM contracts cycle

Hello all, I am working with SRM 5.0 and SRM Server 550.
I want to know what is the behaviour of contracts in SRM in general.
1.- I create a GOA document in SRM, it is distribute to backend system (R/3). In this moment, which is the status of GOA in SRM? 2.- Is necessary to activate workflow process to release GOA automatically and then distribute to backend?
When the contract is on backend system and I change some parameters in the backend, is there some process to update the status or the parameters in GOA document in SRM? Is there some communication between the systems in this moment?
3.- I want to activate a non standard workflow process in backend system (R/3) for contracts distributed. How can I do that when backend contract is released then GOA contract in SRM change the status?
I want to know all standard cycle from GOA creation to final.
Thanks in advance
Rosa Rodríguez

what is the behaviour of contracts in SRM in general.
Q1.- I create a GOA document in SRM, it is distribute to backend system (R/3). In this moment, which is the status of GOA in SRM?
A1 :-RELEASED
2.- Is necessary to activate workflow process to release GOA automatically and then distribute to backend?
A2:- Upon business requirement. Yes every business need approval since BUYERS decision are not final
Q2aWhen the contract is on backend system and I change some parameters in the backend, is there some process to update the status or the parameters in GOA document in SRM? Is there some communication between the systems in this moment?
A2A :- No . you should not change any value in ME32K . no business allows this. you must speak to basis and pull everyone access to edit Purchasing contract. All edit/ massage / change happen only in GOA . evry changes in GOA versions will be created and distributed to backend sytem every time.
3.- I want to activate a non standard workflow process in backend system (R/3) for contracts distributed. How can I do that when backend contract is released then GOA contract in SRM change the status?
you can do mostly busineess needs approval on GOA approval.
RELEASED -status in SRM for good distributed GOA.

Contract Pricing Scales

All,
we are using SRM Version 5.0 and have had SRM Contracts working with CCM system, (not MDM), for some time but without using price scales.
We populate SRM contracts in CM by loading from a Procurement Catalog.
Price scales exist in the procurement catalog but when we bring the items into the Contract the price scale is not brought across and the item ends up with the base price.
I think there may be some config setting that we have missed.
Any suggestions on resolving this please?
Thanks to all in advance
Allen

Hi Allen,
in standard you cannot transfer the scales from CCM to SRM. From CCM the system transfer that price, which belongs to the quantity, due to the scale check is done on CCM side. There is no other possibility as to maintain the scales manually in the contract.

Upload of Contract Catalog

Hi,
Uploading of Contract Catalog to CCM failed because an initial upload was ongoing when it attempted to upload. Now, status of Contract is 'error' -- is there a way to re-upload the Contract Catalog to CCM?

Hi Jason,
I checked sxmb_moni in SRM and no log was found. The only log found was on the first time it was released, in SLG1 -- it couldnt start sending out the packages because of the initial upload ongoing. It reads: "Catalog locked....". It did around 50 tries, then ended in error.
The next time i re-released. No log found in both SLG1 and Sxmb_moni.
Kind Regards,
Margaret
