Doubts in PO's after a Bid invitation in Classic Scenario

Hello everyone,
I am working in SRM 5.0 in a classic scenario. I have a doubt, I do de following:
1. Create a PR in R/3
2. Replicate the PR in SRM as SC
3. Create a Bid invitation form the SC
4. Accept a Bid
5. Create a PO
In the 5th step, the PO is created in both system (SRM and R/3). Is this correct?
I though that only the PO is created in R/3.
Thanks
Ivá

Hi Ivan,
Pls see this thread which discusses abt the workaorunds for your requirement to create the PO in R/3 backend instead of locally in SRM.

PO Creation error after processing bid invitation

Hi Guys,
I need small help from you. I have created one bid invitation with out shopping cart. I had processed the bid invitation. Few vendors have submitted their bids. Purchaser had accepted those bid and approver had approved those bids. Now I have the option to "Generate PO" and "Create contract". If I click on Generate PO button I am getting an error that Purchase order has not been created.
I am unable to process further. Please help me. I have maintained PO number range in both the systems means in R/3 and SRM. Transaction types are also maintained in both the system. What else settings I need to configure?
if i click on "Create contract" buttion then I am able to create Contract in SRM system in held state. When this Purchasing contract will be copy to Backend system? once I chance the Contract status to release then this will be copied to backend?
My requirement is to create Purchase Order ?
Regards
Apparao a

Hi
Please provide your system version details.
In the bid invitation, the Follow-On Document field must contain the entry Purchase Order or Contract.
· In the case of bid invitations that are created manually, purchase orders are local only (product category is not relevant). In the case of direct material purchase orders, a copy (that cannot be changed) is created in the backend. Whether or not it concerns direct material needs to be stated in the item details in the bid invitation. You must specify the goods recipient and purchasing group. Also:
-> Outline levels can be displayed in a local purchase order
-> Bid invitation texts, bid texts, and documents are transferred to the purchase order (however not internal notes).
Also refer to this link for configuartion settings ->

Doubts in creation of PO for service PR in classic scenario

Hi everyone,
I'm working with SRM 5.5 in a classic scenario.
I have the following process:
1. A PR for services is created in ECC (Item Category "D")
2. The PR is transferred to SRM as SC
3. A bid invitation is created in sourcing cockpit
4. A bid is accepted
5. A PO is created.
In the 5th step the PO is created locally in SRM. Is this the standard behavior?? Why is not created in R/3?
Thanks,
Ivá

Bidding Engine in Classic Scenario

We are implementing SRM7 with Bidding Engine. According to this forum it is possible now to use Direct Procurement (Plan-Driven Procurement) in both Classic and Extended Classic scenario.
However, according to SAP, Bidding Engine can only be used in Extended Classic scenario - is this correct? Can someone please confirm as we are looking to use a Classic Scenario with Direct Procurement and Bidding Engine. Requirement is to have both Project procurement (requisitions from ERP) and shopping cart in SRM, going to Sourcing (RFQ/Bid), and creating the leading PO in ERP, not SRM.

Hello Monica
Bidding is possible both in Classic and Extended classic deployements
As of SRM7.0, you can directcly route the PRs (projects/MRP) from ECC to create a RFx in Bidding Engine. You will need activate the relevant SOA service and a BADI to be activated.
Following information may helps you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Implementing BaDI for RFQ Request SUITE Request
In order to use the SOA RFQRequestSUITERequest message, you have to
implement the BaDI named BBP_EBPXML_OUT_BADI. Please create a BaDI
implementation for the interface: REQUESTFORQUOTE with the following
code:
METHOD if_ex_bbp_ebpxml_out_badi~requestforquote.
use SOA system type to get the SOA interface
from bbp_function_map.
cv_system_type = 'ESASAPXML1'.
ENDMETHOD.

Item status of SC of subtype ER not updated after creating BDI invitation

Dear Experts,
Our process is that we push a PR from ECC that creates a SC of subtype ER in SRM.
In a Z program we based on some criterion we consolidate the line items of these SCs and create BID invitation for these.
After BID invitation is created for the SCs what should be the status of these SCs in BBP_PD?
In our system it is showing
HEADER          I1021              Created
HEADER          I1038              Completed
HEADER          I1106              Shopping Cart Ordered
HEADER          I1129              Approved
0000000001    I111                Item in transfer process             X
For ITEM the status is not updated to I1113 follow on documents created.
In the Z program we check if the SC Item has status I1113, if yes it means it is already processed for BID else process it for BID now. Since the SC item status is not updated properly same SCs are getting processed again .
How can we update the ITEM status for a SC of subtype ER after a BID invitation for the SC is created?
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hi Jay,
Forgot to mention we are on SRM4.0 .
I solved the issue by calling FM BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_DIRECT(passing item guid and status) and BBP_PDH_DIRECT_UPDATE (passing shopping cart guid) in sequence .
Now the item level status is updated correctly.
Thanks a lot,
Anubhav

The sender of the bid invitation

Hi gurus,
     Why the sender of the bid invitation to the suppliers turns to the approver after the bid invitation has been released. how to change to the creator of the bid invitation?
      I mean the email.
      thank you very much.

Hi wang,
There are two ways a bidder can receive / send his bid. One is via mail and the other by looging into portal using his own user i.d & password provided by the purchaser.
As mentioned by Yeu Sheng Teo the bidder gets a mail whenever a bid invitation is sent to him / her.
He then logs on to portal with his user i.d & password and selects the bid invitation and submits his bid which the purchaser can access using Process Bid Invitation link and the status against the particular bidder shows a bid submitted under Bidder / Bids tab.
You maintain the contact person for bidder / vendor using personal data tab in Manage Business Partners link.There you choose employee as contact person and maintain User i.d & password and communicate the same to vendor / bidder.
Hope this makes you more clear.
Award points for helpful answers.

Transfering several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid invitation

Good morning,
We are using Plan driven procurement and bidding with Extended classic
scenario (SRM 5.0).
Indicator IMG sourcing is
"Sourcing via automatic bid invitation for items without a source of
supply"
Is it possible to transfer several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid
invitation?
Thanks in advance.
Alexey

Thanks, i think it is possible whis IMG sourcing indicator:
"Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply"
If a source of supply is not assigned, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a bid invitation from several requirement items. If is unable to do so, this is recorded in the error log of the report.

Does classic scenario support for carryout Bidding process in SRM

Hi,
if carryout the bidding cycle for classic scenario once vendor is finalised this vendor belongs to SRM vendor only not for the R/3 vendor, for classic scenario PO will be created in R/3 not in SRM so in this case how system will allow to bring SRM vendor to R/3 in order to create the PO in R/3?
thanks in advance

As Bill mentioned, replicate vendor from ECC to SRM first. Then you can use the vendor for bidding in SRM. The PO still gets created in backend as it is classic scenario.

Querry on Bid Invitation processing and comparision

Hi

I would like to see all the line items which one bidder has sent to the purchaser .Because currently only first line item is only getting displayed.

Hi,
1. make sure email set up is done as per note 455140. To send e-mails after bid is published for the bid invitation transaction 'BID' attach relevant event schema. This will take care of sending mails whenver bid invitation is published or changed.
2. Provide the role BBP_EC_SUS_BIDDER to the bidders to enable them to see bid invitaions and send bids from SUS portal. For this you also need to enable SSO (single sign on) between EBP and SUS. Please refer the below link for further information.
sending RFQs from SRM EBP to SRM SUS
3. It is possible to down load the Bid invitation. Further update the mail id of the bidder with your id so that you can receive the bid invitation smartform. This you can take a print out and send it to bidders. You can make config setting in SPRO 'define actions for document output' to send the bid invitation smartform.
Hope this clarifies all your doubts here.

Bid Invitation (Notification and Output)

Hi Gurus,
I have no clue how to manage Output / Messages for Bid Invitations. I need the system to do the following:
1) Send email notification to Bidders in the bid invitation and also a notification when I make changes to the bid Invitation - How and where do I configure the message
2) Post a notification on a portal
3) Print the bid Invitation with all the attributes (to bidders who cannot respond electronicaly), so that the same can be posted to the vendor and then the purchase can perform surrogate bidding.

Abdul

Bid Invitation attributes and weighting function

Attributes are transferring to Weighting section. This did not haqppen in the past.
During bid invitation creation the dynamic attributes that are used are
automatically transferred to the weighting function. Along with this
there is a message that is displayed "Specify the parameters of
weighting function". This never happened in the past before
implementing ECC 6 Enhancement pack 5, SAP_BASIS Component: Support
Pack 7 for 7.02, and SAP Kernel: 720 patch 115.
I found note 1662288 but it is applicable to server 701 and 702. Our
server is 550.

Notification when Bid Invitation is Published

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 classic scenario.
We have a requirement to send an email to some specific users, when a bid invitation is published. I suppose, the email is triggered to vendors by default.
The specific users are determined from bid invitation document.
Is there any way to configure this via. Alert Management? I checked in Event Schemas but there is nothing for 'Bid Invitation Published'. Can we add this as an entry there?
What are the steps to activate this alert?
Anybody worked on Alert Management, please share the steps.
Any alternative ideas other than using Alert management are also welcome. (like we thought of writing code to send mail in DOC_SAVE badi, but we needed to verify whether Bid got published, as this badi is called before saving document).

Hi,
In define event schema for the business object 'BUS2200' there will on schema 'RFQ' defined in the standard. For the schema RFQ there is an event called PUBLISHED already available in the standard. Here if you do not make any entry tthe alerts will go as soon as bid is published. If you put a value say 1, alert will trigger after 1 hour from the bid publication.
If you still have any doubts, please upda the threa and do reward points for helpful answers.

NO quote for some line items in a Bid Invitation

Hello Experts,
We have implemented SRM 5.0/Bidding Engine.
For example, When we create bid invitation with 10 line items, and invited about 5 bidders to participate.
Please note each one of line item is having about 15 attributes which are all required. It is not an optional attribute.
If one of the bidder is not interested in bidding for about 3 line items and standard functionality is - the bidder will make submittied quantity field to zero, so it will be ignored for any further checks.
But this is functionality is not working in our production system.
Please help me to resolve this.
Vijay

Hi Vijay
I do not think it works the way you suggested.
If you make dynamic attr required, they will be required and making 'submitted quantity' as '0' will not change that.
Pl create a OSS message, if you feel strongly about it but I doubt you get a solution as it's not a bug.
Instead of using 'Required' field in Dynamic attributes, you may try to use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to control the required checks.
Best regards
Ramki
