Creation of multiple contracts in ERP backend from 1 GOA in SRM

Hello fellow SRM'ers, we are on SRM 5.5 and we have a scenario where we create a GOA in SRM and it get's created as a contract in the ERP backend system. This is working fine. Now our client would like to have multiple contracts created in the backend, one for each company when the GOA is saved. I found OSS note 646903, statement #2 that explains how to code the badi bbp_ctr, but is this all that is required to do this? It seems to me that the code in BBP_CTR will only create 1 contract/idoc. Can anyone tell me how we generate an idoc/contract that we want to create in ERP backend? Or is this how it's done?
Points will be rewarded for usefull answers. I have read most of the posts on this forum and have not found any answers yet.
Thanks,
Marty

Hi,
Please go through the below explanation from SAP documentation which says the no of contracts that would be created in the backend depends on
--If you activate grouping logic for locations in GOA from SPRO under cross aplication settings, items belonging to the same release-authorized purchasing organization, but different locations, can be grouped together into one backend contract. This requires a 1:1:1 relationship between an item, the release-authorized purchasing organization, and the location. This means that for each item, you can only assign one release-authorized purchasing organization, and one location, in order to release the GOA.
If you do not select this indicator to activate the grouping logic for location, a separate backend contract is created for each item belonging to the same release-authorized purchasing organization, but with different locations. Only items referring to the same release-authorized purchasing organization and location can be combined into one backend contract.---
So the bottomline is by default, when we distribute one separate contract is created for each location.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards,
RRK

ERP Backend release with SRM 7.0

Hello
Is there a requirement on the ERP backend release when implementing SRM 7.0?
Thanks!
Christa

Hello
Thanks for your reply, but what I meant, is that can SRM 7.0 be used together with ERP 2004, or does it have to be ECC 6.0 with EhP4?

Payment terms picked up incorrectly in ERP while posting MIRO on SRM PO's

Payment terms are picked up incorrectly in our ERP backend system for all SRM PO's and it generally defaults to "free for payment" standard payment term.
1) We have maintained our vendor master correctly - say NET 30 but it still defaults to "free for payment" when we are posting a MIRO invoice.
2) Baseline date is blank too.
3) We have not maintained BBPV_PTERM_LOCAL table either.
Please let me know if any OSS note or solution available on this?
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi,
remember that there are TWO payment terms fields on the vendor master.
One is used by POs and the other is used for postings that do not involve a PO.
You should check the payment terms on the company code data of the vendor and make sure that these are correct, the payment terms on the Purchasing Org data are NOT used by FI postings unless you are using MIRO with reference to a PO.

Multiple contract creation in ECC from a single GOA

Hi Experts,
I am working on a solution regarding to GOA in SRM - Contract in ECC creation and i am wondering about the following scenario:
Create 1 GOA in SRM 5.0 for a central/global purchasing organization and when the appropriate BADI going to transfer it into ECC, it creates contracts for all company codes.
At my current client they use GOA but until now they created 1 GOA for a specific p.org and the BADI transferred (and created) contract in ECC for the specific company code (they donu2019t have kind of central/global purch organization unit in ppoma). In the future they would like to create GOAs which are usable for all companies, but instead of creating (and changing) them manually (N GOA in SRM for N contract in ECC) they want to have an automatism.
Does any of you have any experience on this? That would be really good if you can share with me some high level overview about concept.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Attila

Hi,
Let me correct if i am right:
- Central Contract -> new concept of SRM 7.0. 1 contract which is visible and usable from ECC and SRM as well. (not available in SRM 5.0 - agree)
- GOA -> it exist in SRM 5.0 for sure! (we are currenlty using it for ECC procurement).
The solution what you are mentioned is good...but as you said only for SRM 70...we are in SRM 5.0 and we need solution for here. Do you have any idea?
Currently i am thinking about a new solution based on "standard" functionalities: if a GOA need to be created for mulitple company, it has to be populated in Header distribution (all company will have the same contract header). It item detail all the required information need to be poupulate in SRM (i.e.: item 1 for p.org1/comp.cod1; item 2 for p.org2/comp.cod2).
When this is done, the BADI need to check the informatoin in SRM GOA and create contract according to that -> in this case 1GOA is created, but the 2 items for totally different p.org/comp.code, the BADI needs to create 2 different contract in ECC (i would like to avoid using reference purchasing organization in ECC!
Thanks in advance!

Open Shopping Cart from ERP Backend

Hi,
we are on SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.0 as ERP Backend.
How can i open a shopping cart with the shopping cart number?. Can i open the shopping cart per URL?
We have the shopping cart number in ERP Backend.
Best regards,
Benjamin Herzig

Hi,
erp users should be able to open the shopping cart with one click from sap gui me53n.
At the moment, they have to copy the shopping cart number and then open the SAP Portal and search for the shopping cart. This is not very userfriendly.
Can i use any remote function in srm calling from the erp?
I´m surprised that nobody else needs such as feature!
Best regards,
Ben

Create PO at backend from SRM

Hi
I have below scenario to create PO at backend from SRM
1)SRM Shopping cart(assign contract number) ->Create PO at ERP
2)SRM Shopping cart ->RFx-> RFx Response -> Create PO at ERP.
Can you pls confirm below doubts.
1) Does the BAPI(BAPI_PO_CREATE1) is called for both above scenario?
2) Also I want to know how the attachment transfer is carried out from SRM to Backend.
I found note to implement BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW at SRM for backend transfer.
I implemented as follows including setting at ERP DC10,DC20,DC30.
method IF_EX_BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW~FILL_PO_INTERFACE1.
Enable transfer of attachments in classic scenario
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_STORAGE_CAT = 'ZDMS_CT_CT'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
endmethod.
But i could not understand the general flow how the file attachment at SRM Portal is transferred to ERP DMS.
can you please explain.
Regards
Chandra

Hi Masa
Thanks for your reply.
yes, we are working on SRM7.0 EHP4.0.
As you said, I can see in PI SXMB_MONI messages the PO is created in ERP backend.
But why its going thru ESOA? Why its not taking above BAPIs and RFC to transfer the PO datas?
Also again the attachment is missing in PO created. its not transferred in ESOA standard?
Addon possible to solve the problem?
For your information.
We transferred ERP PR file attachment as URL from ERP to SRM using BBP_TRANSFER program.
Now after attaching file in SRM portal at RFX ,how PO is transffered to ERP?
Pls guide me what should be done?

Multiple Contracts VBAK-VBPA-VBPA2

Firslty, ,I am new to this site so please tell me (politely) if I have posted in the wrong place !
My operation is to extract Quanity Contract data, to use outside of SAP.
For any given Ship-to/Material, report the Quanity Contract data.
I have identified my Quantity Contracts from VBAK, VBAP, VEDA.
I have joined my ContractPartners VBPA, VBPA2.
Taken into account those partners at header level, and those at line.
From this, I now have a report listing Ship-to, Material against related contract lines.
Problem is, I have multiple contract lines for some Ship-to/Materials.
I have checked ItemCategory, Rejected Contract Lines, Start/end dates.
Using Transaction VA43, I can see that it is not my SQL, but SAP itself recognises multiple contract lines.
However, looking into Document Flow, I can see that only 1 contract is being used for billing.
The missing link for me is this, given 'duplicate' contract lines, how does SAP determine which COntract/Line to use for billling ?
Hope someone can throw some light, or point me in the right direction ?
Many Thanks
Simon

Hi,
Try debugging the code and after the select query and sort just check the gt_sel table if it contains any duplicate entries, if it is so, then there is some problem in inner join and left outer join and left outer join takes all the entries from left hand tables and only selected entries from right hand table so if the right hand table contains 3 to 4 entries then the same records from the left hand table is repeated for 3 to 4 times due to which you feel that the records are repeated.
just check with the query and instead of using joins which is very costly statement try separating the query for each table and then using different internal tables you can collaborate the data into one single and avoid repetation.

Creation of service contract in background

Hello,
is there a function module or bapi to create and release an new service contract in background?
We plan to maintain service contracts in ERP. But we need in CRM a kind of mini contract for the SLA determination in the service request. Therefore we have the requirement to create and release this mini contract directly in background.
All the needed information like BP, Serviceproduct line item and object list will be available to feed such a FM or BAPI.
Thank you
Best regards
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
please try to use CRM_SRV_ORDER_API_CREATE.
When tracing the creation of a new contract there is also CL_CRM_1O_MAIN=>CREATE_ORDER, maybe this can be used.

Restrict PO creation for multiple plants for same company code

Hi Gurus,
We want to restrict PO creation for multiple plants in the same company code. Based on Standard SAP settings for Purchasing organization assignment with multiple Plant and multiple Plant assignment with single company code, this is happening. Is there a way that we can restrict by doing some customization change.
Any thoughts or ideas will be highly appreciating.
Thanks and Best regards,
Karun Kumar

Hi,
Said functionality is not available in SAP standard.
To avoid the same ,i can suggest implement release strategy for PO,and then higher authority / commercial team can check created PO,if multiple plants available in single po then they have the option of rejection for the same.
Or else check BADI-ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST,take the help from abapor and apply the restriction to select multiple plant in PO.
Hope this will resolve your query,
Thanks & Regards,

Create ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items

Hi ,
I want to create a ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items. Preferably SAP GUI.
This selection of data will be from an external file/ variants which will have only one row of data in it.
Firstly: I have to sort the external file having same PO Numbers in an order.Group them together.
Second: I have to create sales order for those many line items having same PO Number.
Best Regard
Taranum

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order
In case of any issues pls revert back

Idoc Generation after Purchase Order Creation through trading contract.

Hi All,
When a Purchase Order is created via trading contract, I need to generate an Idoc and pass details of the Purchase Order created to the Partner System.
Can anyone suggest any Function module or user exit which gets called while Purchase Order creation through trading contract, so that I can fill the Idoc with necessary details of the Purchase Order and send that to the Partner System?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tejas,
I do not know about Trading Contract but what all I can say it that Check if Change pointers are getting written Once the PO has been created, If "Yes" then probably you do not have to do anything for craetion of Purchanse Order. You can use RBDMIDOC Program to create IDOCs from change pointers.
Refer [this|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/12/83e03c19758e71e10000000a114084/content.htm] for more information on change pointers.

One order with reference to multiple contracts

Hi,
As we create one invoice(consolidated invoice) for multiple orders where condition is header data should be same for all the orders.In the same way can we create one order with reference to multiple contracts?
Please suggest.
Regards,
SATYA

Hi,
Thanks alot for the information.
Is this the only way to create one order for multiple contract? Why i am asking because in SAP we are creating contracts but the release order we are getting it uploaded from other software.I am in a service industry project where we do DP91(resource related billing) for all the contract.But in dp91 we can give only one contract at a time.
But we want to create order where multiple contract can be used .
And where in order we can see the contract number?
In the table it is visible as ref doc but not in the order.

SATYA
