ECC - SRM - External Procurement Scenario

Hi SRM Gurus,
I have to transfer Purchase requisitions from SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP SRM 5.0
the account assignment of these Purchase requisitions is "U", but it makes the purchase requisitions not to be written in the table EPRTRANS, in addiction there are no BAdIs or custome exit available in which I can insert some code to resolve the problem, the only one Customer Exit (BBPK0001) is not called if account assigment category on PR is Unknown.
Do you have any ideas to help us?
TX in advance.
Bye

Hi
PDS (plan Driven scenario ) is not mandatory.. It depends on the requirements.

External Procurement Scenario - External Range for GOA in Sourcing Cockpit

Hi all,
I'm a question for you about Sorcing Cockpit.
I have the following scenario (SRM 5.0 - ECC 6.0):
1) PR created on ECC and trasnferred to SRM in SOCO
2) SC converted into a GOA and distributed to back end system
I want to allow Buyer, that use SOCO, to assign an external number to the contract (GOA) when convert SC into it.
TX in advance.
Bye.
Marco

Hi Marco,
I am not sure understanding your question.
Do you want to create a GOA in SRM based on the moved PR?
This is possible and working fine. What is the background of your
requirement using an external number range for GOA? Is that your
requirement?
Cheers,
Claudia

Plant Driven Procurement scenario in SRM Throgh XI.

We are doing plant driven procurement scenario in SRM through XI7.0
(ECC 6.0 (MM)- XI7.0 -SRM5.0 SUS)
1.we downloaded XI Content for SRM Server 5.5 SP 12.But we are unable
to find out SAP ECC 6.0 Software component Versions or Product version
in SAP XI 7.0 SLD.
Please, Suggest the solution to solve this problem.

Hi Prateek,
I am doing Plant driven procurement service enablement scenario by using XI 7.0, for this,
we are integrating MM & SRM SUS Through XI 7.0 (MM -- XI-- SRM SUS).
For doing this Scenario,
1. Downloaded XI Content for SRM
2. Imported XI Content into the IR
3.After importing, Plan_Driven_Procurement_SupplierEnablement Scenario was enabled.
Here, MM side SWCV is R/3 4.6 is available by default. but in my case i need to change to ECC 6.0(bcoz,currently we r using ECC 6.0 version )
In SLD, there is no ECC 6.0 version.
So, how to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

External requirement handling in SRM using classic scenario

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement in Classic scenario:
PRs for MRO / indirect materials generated in PM / PS of ERP will be transferred to SRM using WF interface for approval process.
Upon final approval in SRM, Follow-on document PO should be created in the back end.
The SC in SRM should have the status u201CApprovedu201D & u2018Follow-on Documentu2019 created.
My question is SRM standard will create a PO as follow-on doc after the SC is approved in SRM. How to control this creation of PO in SRM & only approval message should be transferred to back end ERP.
Pls provide any suggestions or inputs on technical settings / adjustments to be carried out.
Note that we cannot use PDP scenario as SRM will be used only for SC approval process.
Tks.

Thanks Muthu for the reply.
The doc flow in the link above shows that after SC is approved, it will be available in sourcing cockpit for further processing (i.e. RFX, PO etc) in SRM. Our requirement should not be allowed to create PO in SRM and it should be allowed only in back end ECC.
SRM is used to centralize the approval process where multiple back end systems are connected. (How ever, in future follow-on docs are also created in SRM).
Current Target steps:
1. Create PR from PM/PS in ECC (PR status will be "In release").
2. Transfer PR to SRM and SC will be created (SC status will be "In approval").
3. SC will be Approved / or Rejected in SRM. (PR status will be updated to Approved / or Rejected in ECC).
4. If approved, follow-on doc PO (manual or automatic) will be created in ECC. (SC status will be updated to EX: "PO cretaed")
When the SC is in the process of approval, user in ECC may add new items or make changes to PR from PM/PS. After these changes, the current approval WF for SC in SRM should be cancelled and new SC is created and so on...
Sophisticated message synchronization is required between ECC & SRM.
Is it possible to acheave the above solution (create PO only in back end system) using the steps mentioned in doc "5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770.pdf" with some modifications.
Forgot to mention the following system details:
ERP - ECC with EhP4
SRM - SRM 7.0
Thanks,

SRM - SAP/Procurement

Hello Guys
I am new with SRM and I have a work flow that work at the moment with the engineers creating a reservation that is checked by a warehouse material manager which according with the material availability triggers the procurement process creating a PR or just goods issue the material.
Is there any possibility that the SRM automatic would triggers the procurement process according with the material availability, remember that the reservation that the engineers raise it is allocated to a WBS element, and our stock is not valuated, which means the cost to the project comes from the PO.
If some one could send just the material that would explain some possibilities about the shopping cart triggering the warehouse management would be enough.
Thanks

Hi Carlos,
this is not possible alone within the SRM System.
Instead of this I would suggest the external requirement scenario.
You can do the MRP in the R/3 backend system, and send the purchase requisitions (depending on purchasing group or material group) with the external requirement scenario into the SRM system. This request will be sent into the sourcing coocpit as a shopping cart, which can be proceed by the sourcer (PO, Bid, Auction).
Kind regards,
Peter

Question on Self Service Procurement Scenario?

Hai friends
Self Service Procurement is used for automatic generation of PR and shop on Behalf of.
So how is SSP possible in creation of PR in extended Classic Scenario
Is SSP possible in Classic Scenario only? If its possible in all scenario then what is the use of Self Service Procurement
Regards
krishna

Hi Krishna,
SSP (Self Service Procurement) scenario is possible in both, Classic and Extended Classic Scenario's. In classic scenario, the follow-on doc. say PO created w.r..t SC will be created in backend system and in case of Extended Classic Scenario, the PO will be created in SRM and a copy will be posted to backend.
PR can be replicated from backend to SRM system in both the cases. It falls under Plan-driven procurement business scenario.
In extended classic scenario, if you want to replicate the PR to SRM, it can be listed in sourcing cockpit as an external requirement and ca be processed further to follow bidding process in SRM.
In classic scenario, you can configure to create a SC in SRM and transfer it to the backend system to create PR / PO as a follow-on document.
I hope this answers to your question.

Prashant

Price valuation with standard price in case of external procurement

Dear All,
I have the following scenario with my client.
All the materials will be valuated with price control S, whether procurement type is E or F. We don't have any problem if procurement type is E. But where as if procurement type is F and price control indicator is S, the system calculating the moving average price and as well as standard price is also updating for some materials. For some materials there are not moving average prices.
1. Can any one tell me when SAP calculates both moving average price and standard price? is there any setting to be done.(procurement type F and price control S)
2. there are differences between moving average price and standard price, ofcourse there may be a difference, but in some cases the difference is more and higher than the standard price, this may cause financial loss to the company. How can solve this.
full marks will be awarded.
thanks & regards,
Ramesh Balivada

Hi
Moving average is updated for External purchases although price control is standard price in all cases where there are movements in materials i.e., when they are purchases...
Check for the materials where there are no updation of moving average and externally procured materials, there might not be any purchases..
There would be no losses as even though it is calculating mov avg price, the stock, consumption is calculated with std price only.
Check both the cases where there are std prices and check for cases where there are both prices getting updated.

Suraj

Inactive External Procurement Relationship on a Trans Lane

Hello Experts,
I have a situation were a PIR record in ECC has been flagged for deletion for a particular Material/Vendor/Plant/Purch Org. combination. The problem appears in APO. After the PIR changes are processed through the CIF, the External Procurement Relationship on the Transportation Lane for all same Plant/same Vendor/same Material/different Purch Org. are marked as inactive.
Example. Vendor 123, Plant ABC, Material a1b2c3, Puchasing Org. 1000 is inactive in ECC (PIR marked for deletion) and APO.
Vendor 123, Plant ABC, Material a1b2c3, Purchasing Org, 2000 is also inactive in APO and should not be.
Is this situation were all the Plant/Vendor/Material/Purch Org. records are marked as inactive standard delivered functinality? This issue is preventing Work Orders from getting created in SNC.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff Hnatiak

Hi Jeff
Which version of SCM are you using? I am not sure about the specific behaviour in this case, but would tend to believe that this is not a standard one. Please try to do an intial transfer of the IM using RIMODINI and also share the selction for IM in CFM1.
Thanks,

Classic Scenarion with MM-SUS (SUS-ECC-SRM/EBP)

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are going for SRM Classic Scenario with MM-SUS . SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 (Ehp4).
Here ECC will be connected to SRM and SUS ,i..e SUS-ECC-SRM.
I learnt that Classic deployment supports MM-SUS scenario. It means that , every document created in ECC or SRM(EBP) need to replicate in other 2 systems. I have concerns about this replication in 2 another systems.
1. PO-S/C in SRM , creates classic PO in ECC Is this PO sends to SUS ?
2. Confirmation-Is Confirmation done in ECC/SUS/SRM replicates in another 2 systems ?
3. Invoice-Is Invoice done in ECC/SUS/SRM replicates in another 2 systems ?
Can anyone please confirm /suggest , whether this happens or not ?
Regards
NAP

I learnt that Classic deployment supports MM-SUS scenario. It means that , every document created in ECC or SRM(EBP) need to replicate in other 2 systems. I have concerns about this replication in 2 another systems. - EVERY DOCUMENT IS NOT CREATED IN 2 OTHER SYSTEMS. SRM PO GOES TO ECC AS CLASSIC PO. THIS CLASSIC PO IS SENT TO SUS WHERE IT CREATES A SALES ORDER FOR VENDOR. SO ITS NOT REALLY EVERY DOCUMENT IN TWO OTHER SYSTEMS
1. PO-S/C in SRM , creates classic PO in ECC Is this PO sends to SUS ? - ECC PO WILL BE SENT TO SUS. SRM-ECC INTERFACE REMAINS SAME HERE. THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SRM AND SUS
2. Confirmation-Is Confirmation done in ECC/SUS/SRM replicates in another 2 systems ? - CONFIRMATION CAN BE DONE EITHER IN SUS(RECOMMENDED), OR IN SRM, OR IN ECC. CONFIRMATION CREATED IN SRM AND SUS WILL RESULT IN CREATION OF GOODS MOVEMENT IN ECC. GOODS MOVEMENT CREATED IN ECC WILL BE ONLY UPDATED AS A KIND OF FOLLOW ON DOCUMENT IN SUS AND SRM
3. Invoice-Is Invoice done in ECC/SUS/SRM replicates in another 2 systems ? - INVOICECAN BE DONE EITHER IN SUS(RECOMMENDED), OR IN SRM, OR IN ECC. INVOICE CREATED IN SRM AND SUS WILL RESULT IN CREATION OF MM INVOICE IN ECC. INVOICE CREATED IN ECC WILL BE ONLY UPDATED AS A KIND OF FOLLOW ON DOCUMENT IN SUS AND SRM
I hope it clears your doubts....

Quota between inhouse Manufactured & external procured materials in APO

Hello All,
Scenario is like this:
I have semi-finished material. Suppose it is 'AX'. Now this 'AX' material I am manufacturing & procuring from external sources also. Material 'X' is APO material(MRP Type='X0'). Now I transferred MM scheduling agreement of same part in APO also through Integration Model, to get schedule lines as well as manufacturing orders after Heuristic run. When I checked in APO, MM scheduling agreement was transferred to APO but the Quota which I maintained in R/3 in MEQ1(% between in-house production & external procurement) was not in APO. Now in this case if I do the Heuristic run I got only Planned Orders(manufacturing orders), not any schedule lines against the MM Sch. Agreement. Now at this moment I was able to convert any planned order into MM Schedule line.
After this I created the quota in APO itself. After creating the quota I was able to get the planned orders as well as MM schedule lines based on maintained quota.
Regarding the above scenario I have some doubts. Please answer:
1. Is it a correct practice, what i did ?
2. I was very confused that when we maintains each Master Data of APO materials in R/3 why we need to create the same quota in APO also.
3. Is there any way to transfer this quota from R/3 to APO ? If yes please tell me the steps. This will save a lot of my stuff.
Thanks in Advance !

Hi,
1. Yes, as per the scenario mentioned and since the planning is taking place in APO, quota is needed to be maintained in APO itself.
2. This is because planning needs to input like proporational planning to to find out the right sources using quota and transportation lanes. But its master data intensive.
3. In other way, I would see no need of maintaining the quota in R3, instead you maintain the quota only on APO. (if I understand requirement correctly).
there is one way, you can avoid quota maintenance in APO. Here you need to use CIF user exit (APO outbound, C5) to modify the the procurement proposals of APO while getting transferred frm APO to R3 based on the quota maintained in the R3 side. This seems to be bit complex.
Hope this helps

About external procurement profile

Hi guys
can you tell me whats External procurement profile?
Does this profile does not allow to transfer PR to SRM using CPPR esoa.
I got below error when i click Transfer to central system button in CPPR screen.
PR xxxxx item xxxx has External procurement profile.
When i created PR in ME51N and released, its saved in EPRTRANS table.
and i could not see any xml created in SXMB_MONI tr-cd or using Service Sorucing request_out outbound.
I can see T160EX table has entries for Mat grp and pur group, should i have to check the MANUAL flag?
i swear it may affect the existing environment, bcoz we are using BBP_REQ-Transfer program to transfer now.
Note
I implemented BADI and activated linkages.
Pls advice how to debug this issue
Regards
Ckumar

issue resolved...i changed the manual flag in T160EX table.
Thanks

Service hierarchy for SRM-MDM catalogi scenario

Hello,
We tried setting up the 'new' SRM-MDM service hierarchy catalogi. I've looked over some sdn threads already and read the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/6b/7fb967f6cd4df0a5a9d5dec7e4aa72/frameset.htm. Both told me the service hierarchy should work in the SRM 'bidding/RFx' scenario. Since service hierarchy should work for RFx we continued trying setting it up but ran into the following problem:
Up on opening our service hierarchy catalogi it returns the following message 'Table is empty' and does not show us any items(mss hierarchy is enabled in the SRM-MDM UI configuration for this catalogi). If we change thé UI setting to 'products' the items do show-up in a 'flat' manner (without hierarchy).
- We've set up grouping in the SRM-MDM catalogi for these items
- We've set up an entry in the MSS hierarchy lookup table and assigned this entry some of the catalogi items
- We've not setup any MSS Hierarchy price
- We've setup the item types, the outline item is of type 'MSS header' the subtypes are of type 'Free Text' and the MSS hierarchy entry is of type 'MSS header' aswell.
- we've setup the hierarchy manually with testdata via the important manager (no pi/ix).
Could anybody confirm service hierarchy works in the RFx scenario (mss hierarchy enabled)? Is there something we've missed or are forgetting? Any other pointters are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hello Masa,
We have not loaded our service hierarchy catalogi items from ECC nor SRM. We've manually set-up test-date via the import manager and data manager tools. This, as long as you set it up correctly, should still work in my oppinion?
For the UI configuration the service (mss) is enabled causing the 'empty table' line to show up. If we would change it to 'product' the items would show but in a flat manner.
Do you have any other pointers . F.e. what the item types should be (subitems: free-text and header: mss-header) and what the role of the mss-hierachy and mss-pricing table are and what we should do with those? We've configured grouping (main item, component item, substitute item ..) to enable hierarchy is this correct?
Ps. What does 'MSS' stand for, what does it mean?
Kind regards,
Tim

What is external classic scenario?

Gurus,
What is external classic scenario? Is this the other name for Plan driven procurement OR something else? Please clarify
Thanks,
Sid

Hi Siddarth,
This scenario is an extension of the classic scenario. Whereas in the classic scenario, goods and services are processed in the backend system, in the extended classic scenario, the procurement process takes place locally in SAP Enterprise Buyer and a copy of the data is replicated to the backend system. Communication between Enterprise Buyer and the backend system is via RFC. The purchase order is created locally in Enterprise Buyer.
If the data in the shopping cart is insufficient to generate a complete purchase order, you can supplement the data manually in SAP Enterprise Buyer before it is transferred to the backend system. The purchase order in SAP Enterprise Buyer is the leading purchase order. From SAP Enterprise Buyer Release 4.0 with an SAP backend system Release 4.6, the complete purchase order is replicated to the backend. It is a read-only copy and supplies the reference needed for the creation of goods receipts, service entry sheets, and invoices in the backend system. The plant is the criterion used for splitting shopping cart items into different purchase orders. This is because the purchasing organization is determined in the backend system based on he basis of the plant. Goods receipts (confirmations) and invoices can be pre-entered in Enterprise Buyer.
The following takes place in the Enterprise Buyer system:
Search for scource of supply, pricing, tax determination, commitments are updated in the backend system, account assignment and budget check are performed against the backend system.
Data for the Business Information Warehouse is updated partly from Enterprise Buyer and partly from the backend system: Purchase order data is updated from Enterprise Buyer, goods receipt and invoice data is updated from the backend system.
This scenario suits customers:
     Who want their purchasing department to save time and money by using the streamlined purchasing functionality of SAP Enterprise Buyer
     Who want to use the full sourcing capabilities SAP Enterprise Buyer offers, yet who also want to be able to confirm and invoice direct materials
     Who want the flexibility of being able to pre-enter confirmations and invoices in SAP Enterprise Buyer
The extended classic scenario does not support purchase orders based on limit shopping carts or procurement card functions, as these require the invoice to be local.
Hope this helps you.
Please Reward Points if useful..

Sreenivas

In-house production with on-line publication and external procurement C5

Dear SAP Gurus,
I need to configure PPDS to immediate transfer in-house production orders but to have periodical transfer for external procurement, do you know how to do this?
Thanks and BR
Andre

Hi
Goto Spro-APO-supply chain Planning-PPDSGlobal setting-maintain global parameters and defaults-
Transfer to R/3 Inhouse Production- Always create transfer event
Transfer To R/3 External Procurement- Do not create transfer event.
To transfer external procurement periodicaly you can use /SAPAPO/RRP4 go to change mode and click on transfer order.
Have a small test from all angles before going ahead with this approch. As you need check whether changes to already transfered purchase requisition get transfered to ECC if not how you will identify such orders and send it to ECC.
May I know what is buisness reason for such requirement because I seen requirement to transfer inhouse production and external procurement only on conversion but heard of such requirement first time.

Santosh
