EBP - SRM

Hi experts,
I am new to SRM Just started looking Help document. I have a basic doubt in SRM.Actually in help they said.
mySAP SRM is based on the following components:
        SAP Bidding Engine
        SAP Business Information Warehouse
        SAP Enterprise Buyer
        SAP Exchange Infrastructure
        Supplier Self-Services
        SAP Catalog Content Management
        SAP Enterprise Portal
I want to know does SRM server is called as SAP Enterprise Buyer or does it have a seperate server for SRM and it further interact with SAP Enterprise Buyer?
Rajesh

Hi
SAP Enterprise Buyer is the e-Procurement component of SRM suite. It is the mandatory central component. Remaining components can be activated or installed depending upon the requirements.
According to terminology, till SRM 3.0 version, it is tied to CRM suite. In this version central component (SAP enterprise buyer) is called as BBPCRM4.0(Logical name given to the EBP central component. You can check this in Tx SAINT)
From SRM4.0, SRM has its own relevant middleware structure (still same as CRM middleware). So once you have SRM4.0, you wont see any CRM structure in SPRO. SAP Enterprse buyer is termed as SRM Server 5.0 (logical name) for this.
lly, for SRM5.0 suite, SAP enterprise buyer is SRM server 5.5.

Purchase Order Acknowledgement to EBP ( SRM 3.0 ) - Error

When we try to post purchase order acknowledge / response to EBP ( SRM 3.0 ) from XI, we are getting the following error. Please suggest how can we overcome this issue.
<b>Error : Status - 50 : Status set to 50 during IDOC inbound processing ( IDOC Added )</b>
=============
Idoc Type - ORDERS05
System - SRM 3.0
System Id - EBD (Development)
Message Type - ORDRSP
Process Code - ME01 - ME_ORDRSP (Order Acknowledgment)
Requirement : Post the Purchase Order acknowledgment idoc into EBP ( SRM 3.0 ), source file is from Non R/3 system, XI maps the external file as standard idoc format ORDERS05.
Able to send the IDOC file to EBP system successfully. We are unable to process the inbound ORDRSP Idoc in EBP, but we are getting the following error message.
Error : Status - 50 : Status set to 50 during IDOC inbound processing ( IDOC Added )
Please how to overcome this issue or provide me the valid approch to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Giri

Hi Giri,
you made a mistake in your target format.
ORDERS05/ORDRSP Idoc type is used in R/3, not in SRM.
Depending on your scenario (PO in SRM or in R/3), you will send back the PO Response to SRM or R/3.
- in R/3 use IDOC ORDRSP
- in SRM use FM BBP_BC_POACKNOWLEDGMENT_ADD or similar (Look at provided SRM XI content, you will find the correct entry point in SRM.)

FORMS in SRM EBP & SRM SUS

Hi ,
Supplier want to print Invoice / PO from SUS or Buyer want to print PO from SRM -EBP itself...in this case ,can anyone confirm me, whether we need to "define and use" separte Forms/ Scripts for Purchasing documents like PO, Invoice ..etc in SRM EBP & SRM SUS , other than that we use in backend ECC system ?
Thank you in advance...
Regards
NAP

You must need to maintain a specific smart form for PO/Invoice Output in SRM.
Smartform/Script defined in ECC cann't be used for output in SRM.

Solved myself.

Http: 404 when starting 'manage user data' in EBP/SRM for the firs time.

We are customizing SRM 3.0 EBP 4.0 with SAPKU40005.
When we tried to create the first users we started to receive the following error 'http: 404 Page not Found' when starting 'manage user data'. (URL: http://[server]/sap/bc/bsp/bbpusermaint/!?client=400&language=EN&~logingroup=SPACE&addSession=1&parentBbpSession=SRP:[server]:0000.0005.d5ffd7b2.d87e
I've created the ADMIN user in the SU01 transaction. When logon in mySRM browser with this or any administrator user and try to 'manage user data' i get this error.
I've looked in the '(...)inetpub\wwwroot\sap' directory and didn't found any 'bc/bsp/...' directory.
Can someone please give me an hint ....
Tanks

Hello Carlos,
the BSP Framework you are now in has nothing to do with the ITS stuff like inetpub or wwwroot.
Get the docu for Web AS 6.20 and have a look into transaction SICF. There you can activate your application: follow the path sap/bc/bsp/bbpusermaint, right mouse click on the "node" and say activate.
This maybe solves your problem. But read a little bit of the doco on Internet Communication Framework (TX SICF) first.

Automatic PO creation - only for PRs based on catalog SRM/EBP items

Dear Experts,
i am facing the following question w.r.t. automatic PO creation:
Is it possible to have automatic PO creation in R/3 only for those purchase requisition items, that are based on shopping cart/EBP/SRM items that are from a third party punch out catalog?
The idea is, that the requisitioner on the SRM EBP side shops in a catalog. Once the the SC is approved and the purchase requisition is created in the R/3 system, automatically a PO should be created based on that PReq. This would save the time for the buyer, who do not need to pay attention to this document, because the purchase from the catalog guarantees the buyer, that the already pre-agreed conditions are getting applied.
But PReqs that are based on Free Text shopping cart EBP items must not be taken into account for the automatic PO creation.
Is there a way to distinguish between the catalog-based and the non-catalog based PReq positions?
Thank you.

Auto PO transaction ME59N comes with huge selection crieteria. If you can distinguish between catelog vs non catalog requisition then it very easy to set up variant to filter non catalog based requistion. you can also think about ehnacement of polulating text fields like Requisitioner or Requirement tracking number with unque idetifier in case of non catalog based PR then you can set variant to filter out those requistions..

EBP purchase order status is comming as blank from last 5 months

Hi,
Advance thanks for BW experts.
Here is the issue I am facing.
We are extracting shopping cart data from EBP(SRM) daily.
We are using Data source as '0BBP_TD_PO_1' in SRM.
In BW it is coming to ODS '0BBP_PO' for collecting data.
Info source we are using is '0BBP_PO_TD_1'.
The problem is EBP(SRM) Purchase order status coming as blank from last 5 months, we are using every thing standard objects, no routine, i checked in BW side. I found that purchase order status field coming as blank from SRM. It seems to some problem in extractor?.
If any one experts in SRM-BW please help me on this how to proceed?.
for more information PO status filed (InfoObject) in BW is -0bbp_PROPO

hi,
take a look sap oss note 827638
check also 824410,809118
827638
Symptom
Status is blank
Other terms
0BBP_TD_PO_1, PO extractor, I1016, Status rejected
Reason and Prerequisites
The rejected status is not considered while extraction
Solution
Got a mail from customer regarding all the possible statuses which is not populated while extraction.
Status   Populated or not ?

Outstanding Confirmations Outstanding Invoices
Transfer Failed                                    X
Confirmed by Vendor
Partly Confirmed by Vendor
Rejected by Vendor
Changes Transmitted Obviously we dont report on all these statuses in BW but release rejected might be an important status and BATA (customer no: 169433) needs this status to be extracted through the PO extractor. I am changing the extractor code for this status. In future we can enhance this note to take care of other statuses relevant for BW. For now other statuses seems to be not usufull for BW reporting.

How to display the smartform of a purchase order from EBP (its) into a BSP

Hello,
I'm trying to make a bsp which lists the purchase orders (PO) for a user, that is not a problem.
But I would like to open the smartform of a PO like in EBP (SRM) into my BSP.
In EBP with the ITS i use this function :
BBP_OUTPUT_PO_PREVIEW_SMART
I give in input of this function the GUID (number) of my PO and the name of smartform to use with.
I would like to reproduce this functionality in a BSP like on the ITS.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks a lot !
Francois

Indeed with the example of the bsp sf_webform_04 i can display my smartform !
I have two choices : HTML or PDF.
You only have to choose OTF for PDF or XSF for HTML !
Thanks a lot !

EBP - SUS integration

Hi experts,
I m new to SRM5.0. Can any one explain me abt EBP-SUS integration? Wt is the need of this integration? wt r the prerequisites to this? I m using EBP4.0 and SRM5.0.
Kindly help me on this.
Regards
Raaams.

hi,
in EBP -SUS scenario --> three systems are involved.
1) EBP(SRM) System ( CLIENT xxx)
2) SUS System ( CLIENT yyy)
3) XI System ( CLIENT zzz).
EBP(SRM) system client can be on the same server as SUS System client.
It is also possible to have these SRM (EBP) and SUS Clients on different servers.
It is also possible to have one client scenario ( EBP and SUS ) in the same client , But SAP Recommends this not to be used for productive use and to be used for demo purpose.
XI system is required to integrate SRM and SUS , this is to transfer documents ( in the form XML Messages ) from one system to another.
proxies are used in this scenario.

SRM Monitoring

Hello,
I have got the following error message in alert monitoring in RZ 20 tcode:
: Output error in purchase order 2000315948 for output medium FAX which is related with SRM monitoring, I have no idea about SRM monitoring.
Another kind of Output errors are about Print & mail related.
Please give me an idea how I should resolve this kind of error & what is the general procedure about SRM monitoring?
Thanks in advance,
Sandip

Hi,
In EBP(SRM) system, the output is maintained as default in the following menu path,
SRM server--> Cross application > Set output actions and output format> Define actions for doc.output which has action defintion and processing type for purchase order and other objects.
Based on this and based on the organization structure PRI for print this is determined for a document.
Best regards,
Sridhar

HR Data Synchronization (Org Unit, Position and Employee) to SRM

Hi All Expert,
Currently, I had replicate the HR data (Org Unit, Position and Employee) to SRM thru transaction PFAL.
Each time there is a new position or new employee, I have to run PFAL and run manually by include the new position number or new employee into the program to replicate to SRM.
Does SAP have any specifiy program or step which I have follow to allow such automation? Is there any variant that I could set?
How to trigger the new Org units which are created in HR to replicate to SRM without any manual input into selection field of Object ID during running the PFAL?
We are trying to achieve automation of synchronization between changes/new creation in HR to replicate to SRM.
Thank for your help.
