Contracts on Limit Items SRM 7

Hi,
We running SRM 7 with extended classic scenario and with ECC EHP 4.
I have received info from SAP that you can´t use contracts on limit items when using extended classic scenario, is there any workaround for using contracts on limit item?

Limit items on extended classic scenario.

Hi everybody.
We are working in SRM 4.0 with extended classic scenario.
We are testing limit items (not service items), but I can not understand the limit item functionality.
In SC, we can assign contracts form limit items. But when we create PO from the SC, there is not any relationship between PO and contract. Moreover when I create a PO (limit item) from null, I can not assign any contract (field is not available).
In the other hand, in SC (limit item), I can select Follow-Up Actions as Confirmation and Invoice or Invoice. If I select Confirmation and Invoice, when I create a PO, ECC return me a message error, because in ECC, good receives are not allowed for PO with limit item category.
So, I have some questions:
1. Can I use limit items in PO with contract reference?
2. If yes, how can I do it? If not, what is the tab contracts functionality in SC with limit items?
3. What is the functionality to allow confirmations in SC with limit items?
4. Is there any documentation about limit item functionality?
Thanks and regards.

Contract Release value is not updated with Limit item value

We have SRM 4.0 with ECS scenario.
Contract are created in SRM and replicated to ERP.
If we create PO with Service line and Limit line using contract in both of these line items, contract Release value is getting updated only with Service line item value.
But the contract Total value is the addition of Service and Limit value of PO.
Why Contract Release value is not getting updated with Limit item value. Please help as early as possible.

Hi Sandeep
Yes. there are various reasons .upon your contract incorrect status and linkage not establised / or more attachment in SRM GOA.
what type of contract are you using? GOA or CCTR
If it is GOA - which version of SRM and service pack ?are you in ?
If it is a GOA , BLAREL idoc might failed to post the release value in the SRM .
How contracts are created material / mat group ?
to fix or understand the issue, you need to recreate the issue.
what is the ERROR in BLAREL in SRM idoc monitoring ?

SRM 7.0 - Unconfirmed PO limit items not showing up when creating Invoice

Hi Guys,
For PO standard items, when creating an invoice and is unconfirmed, these items still show up in the invoice screen and the invoice gets created with the status 'Waiting for preceding document'. For unconfirmed limit items, these items do not show up at all in the creation of the invoice and displays an error. My question is how will I make the unconfirmed limit items scenario work just like the standard items scenario whereby instead of the unconfirmed limit items not showing up and generating an error, they will show up and have the invoice created with the status 'Waiting for preceding document'?
Thanks in advance!

Is this thread still valid? If not, please close the thread.
If so, as no response has been submitted, please rephrase your question and/or provide further information to describe your requirement.

JPY Currency issue in SRM 5 Limit Items

Hi
We are having an issue JPY Currency issue in SRM Limit Items (550 SP 13).
Basically the currencies like JPY, KWR where there are no decimals causes value to be multiplied by 100.
There are lot of notes and threads on JPY currency issues.
But I have not found one that helps fix SRM Limit Items.
Let me know if there is a note or thread that talks about it.
We are on SRM 550 SP 13.
Thank You

SC (SRM) = PO (BE) with limit item (Itm.Cat = B)

Dear all,
in SRM I create a SC with two items, the first item is quit normal (material, cost center assignment, etc). The second item is a copy of the first one, unit of measure is LE. Now when this SC is transfered into the BE I want the PO to contain a limit item ( item category = B). The customer is using the classic scenario and upgraded from SRM4.0 to SRM7.0.
What are the important flags/tables etc. in BADI BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK, method FILL_PO_INTERFACE.
Currently I'm filling the following parameters:
PO_SRV_ACCOUNT,
PO_LIMITS
zusätzliche Kontierungsinformationen für Serviceposition
      clear ls_po_srv_account.
      ls_po_srv_account-pckg_no    = ls_po_items-pckg_no.
      ls_po_srv_account-percentage = '100'.
      ls_po_srv_account-serial_no = '01'.
      append ls_po_srv_account to po_srv_account.
PO Limits
      ls_po_limits-limit     = ls_po_items-net_price.
      ls_po_limits-exp_value = ls_po_items-net_price.
      APPEND ls_po_limits TO po_limits.
The PO will be created in the backend with the two items, but the item category of them is blank (= normal item).
Does anyone of you have an idea what is missing?
Kind regards,
Thomas

Hello Laurent,
I don't know. I think this is something from former times when they had been running on SRM4.0 and they simply took over.
The UoM is LE and in the BE there should be an appropriate line item in the PO with category B (= Limit).
How do I define limit items in SRM?
Kind regards,
Thomas

SRM Local Purchase Order with both a standard line item and limit item...

In SRM is it standard that you can create a local purchase order from the sourcing cockpit that contains a mix of limit items and standard items?
I know this can be done in R/3.

Paul,
I am a functional/business person, and we are running SRM550 in extended classic, linking to ERP backed.
From our business point of view it makes little sense to mix a limit item with one or more standard catalog item. SAP standard SRM 550 actually stops our users from doing this.
For those who are not aware of the differences I will elaborate.
A standard item is either from a Free Text entry process with the process being completed by a professional purchaser or a catalog item either internal to SRM, or maybe from an external website.
Limit orders are value based and are mostly used for the payment of Utility bills, or for services. We don't use services at all.
In our business we use limit orders for an Electricity Bill for example.
When the user confirms a limit order the quantity should always be 1 and the user enters the value of the item.
The Invoice entry team then needs to match the Invoice to the GR line. It's at this point that if you have Limit items and standard items mixed our invoice entry team could run into problems.
We are aware that it is not recommended practice for Limit orders to have GR and if you can avoid this step then you should. Unfortunately our operating model insist on everything being confirmed and in the case of limit orders this can cause us invoice blocking issues.
Limit orders are normally set up to run for a full FY so the addition of standard catalog items to a limit order makes little or no business sense.
If a user added two limit items to a shopping cart for the same supplier our system would produce two PO's for the supplier to use.
We actually avoid transmitting Limit order details to our suppliers as this would indicate the maxiumum value they could invoice us for, businesses just don't do that. We just send them the PO number and description of the item. This provides them with a PO Ref number to puton their invoices.
As we are still running SRM 550 maybe someone with SRM 7 knowledge would care to expand on this analysis?
Hope this helps?
Allen
PS We don't use the Sourcing Cockpit, just read your earlier response

Deleting Limit Items on PO even though follow on documents exist

Dear SRM Experts
I am hoping someone can explain the below behaviour:
Where PO's have follows on documents i.e. confirmation and /or invoice you cannot delete PO's items on a PO. This makes sense.
However we also have PO's with Limit items(created via limit type shopping carts) and even though the PO's have been confirmed and invoiced we can still delete the items on the PO. Is this standard behavior or a bug?
Why then can you not delete normal items but can delete limit type items where follow on documents have been posted for a PO?
Thanks
Nishad.

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
Incase of Limit Items, it is a bug.
We have raised a similar issue with SAP some time back and still waiting for SAP to get back on this.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.

Goods Recipts for Limit item SC

Hi,
When we create shopping cart with limit item and choose the "confirmation and invoice option" during the Limit SC creation the backend PO is created with item category 'D'. The service PO is created, but there is no data updated in service tab at the item level, there is only line item created in item overview with the expected value as the net price and Qty as 1 PU. But without the line item in service tab at the item level we cannot do the planned service entry sheet.
Now with the current scenario when i try to do the confirmation in EBP, i have add description, QTY and value details and then i am able to post the document.The staus shows as document posted in backend but when i click to view the document, there is no document to be displalyed. The confirmation data is not getting updated in the follow on documents or in the purchase order history in R/3.
In R/3 i am not able to enter the service entry sheet for the corresponding PO, it says no line items in the PO. Thats because there is no line item in the service tab. I am not able to post the invoice since the GR based IV is checked in PO.
Now my question is whether this is the standard behaviour, cant we do service entry sheet for these kind of PO. How to get the line item detail in the service tab in item level. What is the advantage of this function in SRM if we cannot post service entry sheet.
Please suggest how to overcome this issue.
Regards
GGL

Hi Sanjeev,
I checked the ESSR table and the document is not getting updated. I found that there is an error meaasge occuring when i try to post the service entry sheet. The error is "Express document "Update was terminated" received from author" and when i check my inbox i see the below message

Error info Enter rate in GBP, i check the service entry sheet and the currency is maintained in GBP and all the other entries looks fine. I am not sure why i am getting this message.
Please let me know if this is related to any config or how to to rectify this.

Limit Item template

Hello,
I have an issue regarding limit items in SRM. By default, I have the following settings :
- "Account Assignment" = "Unknow"
- "Follow-Up Actions" = "Invoice Only"
I would like to change these default values to :
- "Account Assignment" = "Know"
- "Follow-Up Actions" = "Confirmation and Invoice"
And if possible hide them in the template. Do you know how I can proceed?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hello,
Here is the note explaining the follow-up actions for limit items:
Note 855140 - Shopping cart w/ limit item & 'Invoice only' follow-up actns
And the note allowing to change the default following action to "Confirmation and Invoice" by default:

Default Document Ctrl when creating limit item

Hi!
When I create a limit item using "Process purchase order" the check box "Confirm Performance of Service/Goods Receipt" in Follow-on document is checked by default when I have entered the Vendor. Is there a way so that only the check box "Invoice Expected" is checked by default?
Using Extended Classic and SRM 550
Sincerely
Anders Öhrling

Hi. Not 100% sure this will all work, but when you press the button to "add a limit item" a certain SY-UCOMM will be set, "ITMSEL_LIMIT".
You could use the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to set the flag only when SY-UCOMM = ITMSEL_LIMIT.
This way it should set it as default for new items but not change it for old items.
Regards,
Dave.

Addition of new field in the "Create limit item" shopping cart

Hello Gurus,
I have a request in my project to add the company code field to the basic data for the "create limit item" shopping cart.
Thanks

Hi Kedar
Here are the steps....
1. Create a Custom field in SRM and append it to SC table structures in SRM
2. Add this field to the Custom field config for meta data at Item level in IMG>SRM Server> Cross application basic settings> Extensionsand and field control> Configure field control --> Configure control of fields at item level
3. THen find the respective web dynpro application and component for the shopping cart portal UI screen where you want the field to appear. You can do this by right click on the screen area and then select More Field Help
4. Go to SE 80 and enhance the respective webdynpro view by adding the custom field to the Context of the VIew and then adding it to the layout of the view at respective location. After doing this create a binding between the layout field and the context.....
