Distributing source of supply assignment

Hi All,
We have a requirement as below:
We have 4 contracts with 4 vendors for a product at the same time. Now, user creates SC to order 1000 units of this product. We want that system automatically creates 4 POs (because there are 4 contracts) with 250 units (1000/4) for each PO. So, 1 contract is assigned to 1 PO. We're working on SRM 7.
Thanks,
Iqbal

Sachin is correct .Good idea.
You can use this function in both a manual process and an automated process as part of sourcing to generate purchase orders (POs). Quota arrangements allow you to define target percentages and distribute them between two or more purchasing contracts. A quota arrangement ensures that a contract is guaranteed both a minimum sales volume and a defined percentage of the total purchasing volume of a product category or product. A quota arrangement has the highest priority in the sourcing process.
During the validity period of a quota arrangement, there are two phases:
Fulfillment of guaranteed minimums
Before the system assigns contracts based on target percentages, the quota arrangement ensures that all guaranteed minimums of contracts participating in that quota arrangement are fulfilled. The sequence in which the guaranteed minimums are fulfilled is determined by the target percentages defined in the quota arrangement. Guaranteed minimums are defined in the contract.
Assignment of contracts based on target percentages
Once all of the guaranteed minimums of contracts participating in a quota arrangement have been fulfilled, the system continues to automatically assign contracts based on the target percentages defined in that quota arrangement. The winning contract is then determined by the relative difference between the actual release value and the target value of the quota arrangement.
Integration
You use this function in the following applications:
Contract Management
When you order a purchase order against a contract that is part of a quota arrangement, the system automatically updates the release values for each contract line item.
Sourcing
The system shows the winning contract for a quota arrangement in the manual sourcing process.
During manual sourcing, you can access quota arrangement details from the sourcing application.
Prerequisites
You can only create a quota arrangement if a product category or a product is saved in the system, and a contract is available so that you can assign target percentages for the quota arrangement.
Features
The system allows the source of supply to be selected automatically, based on the fulfillment of guaranteed minimums and target percentages defined in the quota arrangement.
A quota arrangement uses standard rules to determine the winning contract in the sourcing process. However, the system can redetermine a winning contract with your own logic if you implement a Business Add-In (BAdI) from Customizing. To access this BAdI in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management, choose SRM Server Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Sourcing Redetermination of the Contract to be Used (Quota Arrangement) .
Activities
To create a new arrangement, choose Strategic Purchasing Contract Management Create Documents Quota Arrangements .
You can change an existing quota arrangement, for example, by modifying the target percentages or adding further contracts (with or without a quota base quantity)
Caution
The contracts in a quota arrangement must have the same base unit of measure.
End of the caution.
Note
In the Quota Base Quantity column, you can enter a nominal released quantity for contracts joining an ongoing quota arrangement. This allows you to simulate participation of the new contract in the quota arrangement immediately. If you leave this field blank, the system assigns the new contract with all sourcing requirements, until it catches up with the other contracts participating in the quota arrangement.
End of the note.

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

Extreq Transfer with source of supply assigned

Dear all,
We are on SRM 7.0 PDP scenario.
Purchase Requisitions with Contracts assigned are being transferred to SRM. We expect these purchase requisitions with an assigned source of supply not to be transferred to SRM.
How can be solved?
Thanks
Ezequiel

Hi Eze
What error comes into slg1
so how you are correcting your Purchase request?
As manoj said is that PR is refering inforecord?
Symptom
You have a purchase requisition which is created from MRP. This purchase requisition has an info record and is already transferred to the SRM system. If we change the purchase requisition quantity later on, an error message "procurement profile cannot be changed" is raised and hence the changed PR cannot be transferred to SRM.
However, you would like to allow the purchase requisition change even if an info record is present.
Other terms
BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER 6Q204 6Q 204 Material Requirement Planning
Reason and Prerequisites
This is a special functionality implemented for the customer.
Solution
Implement the attached correction instructions to enable this functionality.
===
Note 1318245 - Changing the purchasing group for unreleased PReqs
Symptom
In ERP, you attempt to change the purchasing group of a purchase requisition in transaction ME52N. To do this, you enter a new value and confirm this by choosing "Enter". Under certain circumstances, this causes the system to issue an error message informing you that you cannot change the eprofile. When you confirm this error message, the purchasing group adopts its previous value again.
Reason and Prerequisites
The following prerequisites for this are known:
1) The purchase requisition is subject to a release strategy and was not released at the time you attempted to change the purchasing group.
2) In accordance with the attributes defined in Customizing (table T160ex), the combination of purchasing group and material group determines the system that is to process the purchase requisition. This error only occurs if changing the purchasing group results in a different processing system.
Solution
To elimnate this error, you have to implement the corrections contained in this note and perform the following manual corrections:
1) Call transaction SE11.
2) Enter the ETRANSSTAT domain and choose "Change".
3) Switch to the "Value range" tab.
4) Add the following fixed value to the existing fixed values:
Fixed value = 3
Short description (in English): Transfer conditions not fulfilled
5) Save and activate these changes.
reagrding inforecord issue:- I am not aware. but contracts assigned automatically to PR aftre running the report . I dont use inforecord.

Assign Source of Supply User Exit with Quota Arrangements in ME57 and ME56

Hi there,
We are using Quota Arrangements to define Vendor rebate levels and we have enabled User Exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 to provide a more informative popup to replace standard Source of Supply popup as need to display current allocation quantities and % allocation fulfiled.
This User Exit is invoked during Assign Source of Supply during PReq processing (More precisely during Assign Source of Supply in ME51n and Automatic Source of Supply in ME57 and ME56) which all works fine.
When used in ME51n and Source of Supply Assigned and PReq saved, the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is successfully updated with the relevant amount
When using ME56 or ME57 to Automatically Assign source of Supply via the PReq list, the User Exit is invoked correctly and on selecting Vendor and saving the PReq is update correctly, however the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is NOT updated with the relevant amount
I have searched SAP Notes and debuged with limited success but cannot find evidence as to why this difference is happening - I assume that it has something to do with User Exit but any advice gratefully received if anyone else has experienced this issue?
Ben

Hello Jerry,
source will be determine based on the following points:
Outline Agreement
Info record
Quota Arrangement
Source List

Assign Source of Supply at Header Level of SC for single Supplier

Hi Team,
We are in SRM7.0 and EHP4.
The requirement is : User is creating a SC for 50 line items to a single supplier. In SRM7.0 User not able to find the Button Assign Source of supply at Header Level. I know it is at item level and it is very painful from user point of you going to individual line item details and assiging the same Source of Supply 50 Times.
The design is Once Source of supply assigned. It leads to Auto PO after SC status changes to approved.
Please tell is there is a standard SRM7.0 Functionality to handle this requirement with out any BADI / Enahancement.
If not above, please tell how to enhace the same.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Masa,
As I Mentioned in my Initial thread. We are using Auto PO. Once the Shopping cart under go 2 step Approval Process. Once the status is completly approved, Auto PO is created.
Pre negotiated vendors for product commedities are available for the SC requestor to select and the list of supplier to Product commedities is available to requestor.
Request Process (SC) is mainly used from approval point and from analytics (reports) point.
1 st step approval - Finacial Approvers approve the SC.
2ns Step Approval - Buyer check the Price in SC as per Vendor Negotiated rate and Approves and Approved staus SC result in Auto PO to Vendor.
Business do not want change the above process and it is configured as per business and delivered. Only difficulty they are faceing is when creating SC for Same vendor with multiple line items. They need to go Individual Item details and assign the source of supply. It is pain full for them. If the SC is created for multiple line items to same vendor. They want to assign the vendor at header level of SC, Instead of going to Individual item and assign the vendor in SRM 7.0
Thanks

Sourcing and source of supply - when does it happen?

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell me how the sourcing / source of supply assignment works in standard classic scenario?
This is the situation;
Classic scenario.
Price and vendor (and maybe even info record nr) are known in the internal catalog.
Is the standard process (not sure if standard is the right word ) that you would transfer the price and vendor to the shopping cart? (price is needed for approval)
Or can you also source already in the SHC? And get the price directly from ECC info record?
Or is this sourcing done in the PO and not yet in the SHC?
Are there any best practices on this? (sourcing / assigning directly from backend can prevent difference between catalog price and change price in info recordu2026delta due to timing)
Any ideas or setups on how you did it could be helpful, so please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marius Hartman

Can anybody tell me how the sourcing / source of supply assignment works in standard classic scenario?
This is the situation;
Classic scenario.
Price and vendor (and maybe even info record nr) are known in the internal catalog.
Internal catalog is totally different. Sc can be created via catalog also.
nowadayas you can transfer info record to MADM and you can utilise be specific what is your internal catalog.
Q1:-Is the standard process (not sure if standard is the right word ) that you would transfer the price and vendor to the shopping cart? (price is needed for approval)
A1:- so this purchase inforecord price or contract price will not be considereed for sc approval process via internal goods and services.
Q2:- Or can you also source already in the SHC? And get the price directly from ECC info record?
A2:- while creating PO sc takes that proce from info record and creates a PO with info record/ contract price .while ordering cart , sc just takes material price.
Or is this sourcing done in the PO and not yet in the SHC?
PO will be created by the purchaser after assigning the vendor ,
Are there any best practices on this? (sourcing / assigning directly from backend can prevent difference between catalog price and change price in info recordu2026delta due to timing).
you can not change inforecord price in srm via sc.

Sourcing - Sources of supply.

Hello Experts
Could you all please tell what are the different source of supply can be used in classic, extended classic and standalone scenario.
Also let me know, what are the sources of supply can be replicated from the backends and their respective programs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Santosh,
In SRM source of supply will be assigned in shopping cart level, sourcing cockpit or in PO if a PO created directly without SC (possible only for a professional purchaser role) based on the implementation scenario here is the details information:
Extended classic Scenario:
Source of supply in SC:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
3. If SC is not soco relevant then after approval PO will be created in held status, where buyer can assign vendor
Sourcing cockpit:
1. Buyer can assign a vendor
2. Buyer can assign a contract
3. Buyer can create a RFx (bid / auction) with reference to SC and later that can be converted into a PO / contract
Sourcing in PO (In case PO is created directly)
Here buyer can assign a vendor
Buyer can enter vendor & contract if contract is available (should be created for same vendor / location & product category combination)
Classic Scenario:
SRM shopping cart:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
PR / PO in ECC:
1. If a supplier list is maintained then supplier / contract will be picked from the supplier list
2. Buyers can process the PR / PO and assign a source of supply
Standalone / Local scenario:
Same as Extended classic scenario (source of supply assignment)
Replication:
Except the local scenario: Vendor master data can be replicated / update from ECC to SRM using BBPGETVD / BBPUPVD programs
Contracts can be maintained in SRM (contract management) and same can be used as a source of supply in SRM / ECC (SRM 7.0 central contract) or separate contacts for SRM i.e. local contract & ECC i.e. GOA's (In case of SRM 5.0 version)
Also, you can import the contract from ECC to SRM via initial upload program.
Hope above information will provide an overview about the source assignment / replication process.
Regards,
Krish

How to del all info regarding source of supply from R3 reqs coming to SRM

Hello Experts,
We are trasfering requisitions from ECC to SRM.
By standard functionality, if a requisition comes with a source of supply assigned to it, and this requisition is sent to SRM, we have configured that a Shopping cart that has a SOS assigned should create an automatic PO.
However, these requisitions might have materials that already have a local contract in SRM. This is colliding with the SOS assigned previously in the Preq in ECC.
Is there a way to wipe out the SOS information from the requisitions coming from ECC?
Thanks!
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi. You could try BBP_SOS_BADI.
Alternatively, why not disable the souce of supply fields in ECC using field selection config?
That way users could not enter a source of supply in ECC.

Dave.

Source of supply in shopping cart

Hi everybody,
We are on SRM 5.0 (classic mode). When we create a shopping cart the system gets all the sources of supply from the backend system.
we need source of supply have to be suppressed all across any shopping cart other than catalog (like internal goods/services and describe requirment).In case of catalog,contract is assigned to the master catalog.
our requirement is in case of catalog items system should create a backend PO other than catalog items system need not to be find any source of supply from bakcend and it should alaways create backend PR only.
so i have activated sourcing via vendor list and did'nt create any vendor list at all. This ensure that no source of supply is assigned from the backend and also no source of supply assigned from the vendor list as well. so that in case of catalog, source of supply is assigned from catalog and its creating a backend purchase order but when i have changed the location or purchasing organization in shopping cart, system is reseting source of supply for the catalog items as well.
As a result for source of supply is cleaned for the catalog items also,
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Mani

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ? Please specify clearly, what you want to do ?
Incase i understand you correctly, you want to reset the Vendor details, coming from R/3 backend in the SRM side.
Have you tried implementing the Business Add-Ins to meet your requirement.
Try implementing the BADIs
<u>BBP_SOS_BADI
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK
BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS</u>
Note -> first read the standard docuementation provided by SAP, before implementing the BADI using SE18 Transaction.
Alternatively, check whether these SRM configuration settings, might help you out as well.
SRM SPRO Configuration settings
SPRO -> SRM -> Cross Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System(Purch reqs, Purchase orders, Reservations...........................)
For more details, refer to this link ->
Re: Setting to create Whether Pur. request or Purchase order in R/3 system
Hope it will help.

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

Assigning a Source of Supply in a Purchase Order....Please Help!!!!

Hello, Forum.
I am a student and my final SAP project is due tomorrow. One of the steps is to create a Purchase Order certain specifications. I have defined the needed purchase requisitions for the Purchase order, but I am having a problem Assigning A Source of Supply to my items. When I select the items and click the "Assign Source of Supply" Icon I get the error message that "Existing Sources Will be Lost." I have tried many different ways to assign sources of supply to these items and the option is either grayed out, gets, this error message, or simply nothing happens.
I cannot advance in my project without first completing this step and it is a huge portion of my grade. This is of utmost importance to me so if anyone can help me figure out how to bypass this problem and Assign Sources of Supply, or even what this error message means, you would really be doing me a great service.
Thank you so much,
John

Hi John,
I cannot test it now, but seems to me that the transaction me21n is not designed to run source
determination unless the purchase order is created in reference to apurchase requisition
( where source determination can be run ).
If a PO is directly created without reference to a requisition, the outline agreements specified in the source list have to be manually entered in the PO ( even if there is only one agreement ), otherwise the error message is issued...
Could you please check it
Regards,
Mauro

Assign Source of Supply for Services

Hi,
I understand that Materials has source list and the system can actually suggest possible vendors for the material via t-code ME25.
However, I am now dealing with services with service master defined and service conditions maintained. I can create PR via ME51 and assign source of supply but I can't do this for PO via ME25 as that is catered for materials only (even if I entered item category D, it shows as a material PO).
My question is, is there any default SAP transactions that allow me to create a service PO with the Assign source supply function? If no, what kind of enhancements can I look into to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In a normal PO there is no auto assignment of sources so I am not sure why you think that there might be for a services PO?
Remember that to create a PO, you have to specify the vendor first, so how can it assign a source automatically if you have to manually enter the source before you can do anything?
If you are creating a PO with reference to a requisition or contract, again there is no auto source allocation because the source is being taken from the requisition.
So you need to try to allocate the source to the requistion and not the PO

Assign source of supply in PR from SO

I have a PR that automatically created from SO.
I have already created outline agreement for each material in PO and created source list (with fix indicator) too.
But when I click "Assign source of supply" button in PR, system ask me to choose between outline agreement and info record.
If I create PR manually with the same materials, the outline agreement will be assigned immediately after I click "Assign source of supply" button.
Is there any master data or config that make these PRs act differently?
Thanks for your help.
Duangsamorn.

Hi Duang,
When you create the PR manually , guess that you are not selcting the source list check box ( tick
in the ME51N screen ),hope this should be the reason for the difference in behavior.
Please select the tick box when you create PR in ME51N, then the manual PR also will not auto select
the Vendor. Please test & confirm the behavior after check box selected.
