Document contains no items - Carry Out Sourcing From External Requirements

Hello Experts,
I have a problem in carrying-out sourcing in SRM 701 with external requirements come from ECC 6.0
I want to process the requirements into purchase order, everything is OK because I see the line item of requirement is there. But when I check the document, this error occurs
Back-End Error:Document contains no items
Back-End Error:Please enter items first
It seems SRM didn't bring the item displayed to the back-end so it keeps sending error message.
How could that happen when I can see the document clearly contains item?
Appreciate all the answers
Regards,
Ted

Hi Dinesh / Pradeep
Could you get a fix to this issue, we are facing the same error after we have successfully distributed the SRM Central Contract to ECC and then trying to fullfil the MRP generated PR that we used for sourcing
We are in the classic scenario and in the classic scenario, we cannot create a Purchase ORder in ECC from SRM, it only creates local SRM PO
Hence we are doing the following process steps for PDP with PM scenario
1) MRP Run
2) Push the PR as a Shopping Cart to SRM
3) Select the Shopping Cart and create RFx
4) Publish the RFx and Award the Vendor with the SRM Central Contract
5) Distribute the SRM Central Contract to a ECC contract
6) Use ME57 to turn the MRP PR to a ECC PO by assigning the Distributed backend contract as a source of supply in ECC
We are failing step 6
Your answer was below, but it did not end in a resolutuoin
Please let me know the resolution to this step
Regards
Tridip
Your earlier unfinished answer
" How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req. "
- this message is due to standard config we do in ECC for matl grp & pur grp for PR transfer in table T160EX
ECC books the combo of matl grp & pgrp for external system (SRM) and will not allow to process the PR in it.
a procurement profile is allotted in EBAN.
Don't think you can change the message type to Warning or info.

Part of a SC item carried out sourcing , another part can be sourcing too?

we used SRM 7.0.
part of a SC item carried out sourcing , another part can be sourcing too?
for example , SC item 01 which include 1000 pc A.
    1st, we create RFx reference item 01 with 600 pc A
    2ed, can we create another RFx with remaining 400pc A ??
regards
   claud

Hi Claud,,
Jay is absolutely right. You cant source the item even if you have left over quantities. Infact I was curious to try out your scenario and for me it did not work out like you mentioned. Once I created a PO for 60, I could not find the SC back in SOCO for the remaining 40. Wondering how you managed it.

PO Attachments using Carry Out Sourcing not transferred to Backend

Hi SDN Team,
I have an issue with PO Attachments using Carry Out Sourcing.
The version I am using is SRM 5.0 which is connected to SAP ECC 6.0.
The necessary configurations for attachments are made in ECC.
When I create a SC through the normal procedure, with PR and PO getting created, the Attachments are getting transferred to the backend ECC, with the following code in the BADI BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK, method FILL_PO_INTERFACE.
Code :
clear cv_attach_use_url.
cv_attach_transfer_active = 'X'.
cv_attach_be_doc_type = 'SRM'.
cv_attach_be_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
But, when I create a SC, then create a PO via Carry Out Sourcing, that is the direct PO without PR getting created, the attachments are not flowing to the backend system.
1. Now, is there any specific settings which needs to be made for PO Attachments using Carry out sourcing?
2. I am aware of the BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW", but even that is not helping me at the moment.
3. There are no entries created in the table BBP_PDATT too, also no document is created in CV02N tcode in ECC.
Since I am new to SRM, your valuable suggestions, would be of great help.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.
Best Regards,
Arun.

Please use program BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER to create PO in R/3.Let me know you face further problem.

Approved SHC not appearing in carry out sourcing

HI SRM Gurus,
In SRM Web, after the creation and apporval of shopping cart, the buyer checked the items in carry out sourcing (professional purchaser- Sourcing- carry out sourcing). In find tab, seacrh using extended seacrh and then filling out the shopping cart number. The items should show under requirements, but in our case the system did not behave normally as expected because only one of the three items appeared.
I have checked the items using transaction code: BBP_PD then in the table, the sourcing status is "Y" and not "X". Wherein "X" is the ideal status before doing sourcing.
In our company business process is:
1. create Shopping cart (requisitioner)
2. Approval (approvers)
3. Carry out sourcing (to bid invitation-rfi) (buyer)- were some items in shopping cart did not show
4. Process bid invitation (buyer)
5. Vendor quation (buyer)
6. so forth....
please help. What are the possible causes of this error and solution. Please
thanks in advance!

2.     Then I create for a new customer with model sales code
3.     I save the vehicle order in DBM.
4.     I go to VELO to create vehicle on Peugeot model sales code and create PO, good receipt and incoming invoice.
5.     Then I use action QDBM to enable vehicle to DBM.
6.     I assign the vehicle (DBM) to my vehicle order (created based on model).
7.     The assignment is successful; therefore I would like to do Good Movement (good issue). Error : Material document contains no items pop up.
8.     I have try with create VELO, assign QDM and create 3000 u2013 vehicle order, Good Movement able to perform.

Its doesn't work, system say still say that material document contains no items.

ng chong chuan

I am not sure but this coudl be reason.
You have created a vehicle but you have not created the purchase order and Goods Recipt for the Vehicle, means the VEHICLE IS NOT IN YOUR INVENTORY
First check whether the vehicle is in inventory or not, if not then not possible to do Goods issue.

The default value of purchasing group in "carry out Sourcing "

Dear , expert :
I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS!
I have two questions about the screen of "carry out Sourcing ":
1,How can set the default value of purchasing group ?Now the default is empty .
2.The purchaser can select many purchaser group here ,I want to know what controls this .in the group responsibility ?
Thanks!

Hi Alex
If there are more purchase group responsible for one product category. the end user (requestor) can select which purchase group before he order a cart.
so that sc goes to respective purchaser cockpit in the sc ?
if you have only one purchase group responsible . no probem
or
redistribute workload
you can distribute your cart to another purchaser
for eg. initailly ALEX is purchase group in the sc.
now you can transfer MASA purchase group via redistribution workload
so now the sc shows in the MASA cockpit with new purchase group as MASA instead of ALEX purchase group name

Customization to "Carry Out Sourcing" & "Process Purchase Order" Screens

Hi, we are using SRM 4.0 and wondering if following screen customizations are possible
<b>Carry Out Sourcing queue</b>
Is it possible to use some of the existing Fields/Area to show key information within the queue that are important to Buyers such as Total PR Value, Required Date, Comment Field (for Buyer to write notes or status)? The fields Category and Quantity are not that important to us than the other fields mentioned above.
<b>Process Purchase Order queue</b>
Is it possible to use some of the existing Fields/Area to show key information within the queue such as Requestor Name, Required Date, Comment Field (for Buyer to write notes/status)? These are more important to us than the Purchasing Org. and Purchasing Group fields.
The above requested fields will tremendously help the Buyer in managing the queue by making it easier to assign low value orders; by enbaling other Buyer/s to view cart status when covering for someone without drilling down per requisition/line. The comment field within the queue will help to immediately show why the order is on hold, etc.
I would be interested to know as well if you have any suggestions on how we can assign low value orders to junior buyers faster and more efficiently and if there is an automated way to do it.

Thanks - Here is the quick clarification. We are not using Sourcing Cockpit (eSourcing, Bidding) functionality in SRM. By "Carry Out Sourcing", I meant the area where Buyers look for workload and add approved requisitions to their work area. That is the screen we are trying to customize. Is there a template for that as well and is it easy to customize without breaking the code.
Also please advice on customizing "Process Purchase Order" screen.
Lastly, is there an option to autoamtically assign the Approved Shopping Cart to a Buyer based on the dollar amount?
Thanks in advance;
A

Find tab in the Carry out sourcing

Hi experts,
I'm working with the SRM Bidding Engine. In the Find tab in the Carry out sourcing menu there are two bottons:
a) Add to work area
b) Assign to me
Could you please explain what is the difference between these two options?
Thanks in advanced!!!
Mar

Hi Mar,
both buttons support two different things:
Add to work area needs to be pushed by everybody who wants to process a SC.
Everybody with the authorizations can put a visibile SC into his/her work area
and process the shopping cart; with the information given within the SC, like the
Purchasing Group.
Assign to me only changes the Purchasing Group (new screen follows), but does
not move the SC into the workarea for processing. It is only an assignment change,
to enable the assignment to a different purchaser and therefore enable the
SC to be visible to that purchaser.
Thanks,
Claudia

In SRM Portal, while doing carry out sourcing, unable to select "Create Draft" Button Choice.

Hi,
In SRM Portal, while doing carry out sourcing, we are unable to select option "CREATE DRAFT" Button choice. We have two users, one with standard role "/SAPSRM/ST_PURCHASER - SAP SRM: Strategic Purchaser" for whom Create draft is working fine. Another user who has the custom copied version of this role is not able to Create Draft since the button choice option is not opening for him.
Web dynpro component - /SAPSRM/WDC_DO_SOCO_GAF_2
View - V_AO_SOCO_GAF_2
Could you please help me to locate the code where this button choice is populated? What are the parameters that need to be checked in Roles to identify the reason for this wrong behaviour with custom role?
Regards,
Jeena

Hi,
Check entries in SM30 --> /SAPSRM/V_SOCO but, there should not be any issues here, as you are telling that it is working for Standard Role.
Please overwrite the Z role one more time, and ensure that you have given proper authorization in the Org Level of the Role and regenerate the profile. It should work.

How do I restore and carry out maintenance on external drives

Under OS9 I used to regularly carry out optimising and maintenance on my mac and external hard drives. Now that I'm on OSX, I can't use Norton Utilities - that doesn't seem to work at all. Techtool Pro doesn't seem to fix external hard drives connected by firewire. Neither does Diskwarrior. How do I do maintenance for my mac and my drives. I have an external LaCie 160GB porsche firewire drive - that seems to have stopped working but I can't carry out any serious diagnostics as I have nothing that seems to work - DiskUtility doesn't carry out a full test and comes back with errors. I also have a Formac Oxygen 160GB external drive connected by Firwire which has also recently stopped working (when I mean stopped working, I mean that the mac no longer sees all the files I have stored on the drive and asks me if I want to initialise the drive - to which I obviously say no). I need to access the files on these external drives but can't get the mac to do this. Any help?

Hi Naz,
Norton Utilities does not work with OS X -- in fact it often makes problems worse. I fear NU has corrupted your external drives' directory structures.
* Remove Norton: How to manually uninstall Norton SystemWorks for Macintosh 2.x.
* Boot from your install CD/DVD and run Disk Utility. Repair Disk for the external drives. If DU can't repair, you can attempt DiskWarrior (it DOES work on external drives).
Good luck; let us know how it goes.

Delete old external requirements from Sourcing cockpit

Hi,
Is there anything to delete the old External requirements and shopping carts from the Sourcing Cockpit (BBPSOCO01)????? Today i have 500 items in the bbpsoco01 then i want to delete the old requirements and complete requirements (with follow on document), but i don´t know how???
Thanks.

Hi Claudia,
When you enter the Carry out sourcing . To complete the shopping cart you need to click the Complete Item button that is present in the Actions section of sourcing cockpit screen. Once you click on that button the shopping cart will disappear and you wont be able to create a PO from that SC.
If you dont find the button on the sourcing cockpit search screen please refer this following note:
Note: 787785 Actions are missing in 'Find' tab.
Thanks,

Clearing Document has open items?

Hello,
we have delivered some goods to a customer some time ago. The delivery was invoiced but the invoice will not be paid by the customer. So I was not able to archive the FI document belonging to this invoice because it had an open item. The invoice itself was archived already since it it independent from its FI documents. A colleague carried out F-32 to clear the FI document to get rid of the open item and to archive it. This was successfull for the FI document of this invoice, but:
Using F-32 a clearing document was created. This also has an according FI document, that has an open item and cannot be archived.
How can I get rid of this kind of receiveable that will never be paid? I mean there must be a way to close it without any open item remaining and archiving all related documents.
Thanks

Hello,
yes yes, after clearing I can archive the FI documents of the invoice, the invoice itself I can also archive. But a clearing document is gererated, which I cannot archive because it has an open item. How to archive this clearing document now?
Thanks

Carry our Sourcing link not present in EP for SRM 7.0

Hi
We are using SRM 7.0. When we create a Shopping Cart then as per the configurations made it should be present in Purchaser's Sourcing cockpit for further action. However when we log in as Purchaser we do not see the "Carry Out Sourcing" link at all even though all the possible roles have been assigned to him in Portal. We get the Strategic Purchasing link but there isn't anything within it.
Can someone kindly give us a few leads to solve the issue.
