Error in e sourcing 7.0, RFx- Line Items

Hi Experts
We are implementing SAP e Sourcing 7.0. In order to get familiar with the new functionalities, I am trying to cretae a Rfx with dummy materials and vendors.In Line Items tab, it seems now we first have to add a group within which further materials could be added (free text or from material master ).
I have create a group lets say "Default" within which I am trying to add materials.My issue is whenever I try to add a material either free text or from material master by clicking on "Add" or "Add Material", I get the following error:
There is no default Unit of Measure defined for the category_is of \'No Dimension\'.
Anybody faced a similar error? what would be the possible reasons. Kindly advice.
Regards
Mudit Saini

Hi Vikram
I did take a look at Unit Category but I hadn't created "No Dimension" as one. Instead I had Dimensionless. So to resolve the issue I had to create No dimension as well
After assigning it to one of the unit of measure and making it the primary unit of measure for the same, I was able to resolve the issue but it is strange why there are two unit categoriesNo Dimension and Dimensionless which I think imply the same thing.
Moreover why No dimension category ID is sought in RFx while adding a material is also not clear. this doesn't happen in case of auctions and also in E Sourcing 5.1 we didn't have this precondition.
Anywz thanks for your reply

Hiding 'Add Material' button in RFX Line items tab

Hi,
We are in Sourcing 7, SP02
We want to hide the 'Add Material' button in the RFX line item screen.
I have tried searching all the system toolbars, but unable to find this toolbar/action id.
Would somebody be able to give me the action id that can be used to hide this from toolbar customization ?
Thanks & Regards,

I havent tested this myself but you might want to try this.

Error M8-688 - Creation of several vendor line items is not possible for document type RN.

Hello All,
We are using the Net Invoice Posting with document type RN(Invoice- Net). We are generating different vendor line items in the accounting document based on the withholding tax codes involved in the invoice posting. When it comes to net invoice posting system is giving an error message M8-688 - Creation of vendor line items is not possible for document type RN. Is there is any way to create multiple vendor items with net invoice posting? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Chandu.

I dont think that there is any way because it is a hardcoded error message.
      IF NOT t003-xnetb IS INITIAL.
        MESSAGE e688 WITH pi_rbkpv-blart.
      ENDIF.
SAP is checking the customizing for net/gross posting per document type in table T003
And if it is set up as net, then it is a hard error.

Need to add new field in Rfx Line Item Page

Hi
I want to add an new extended field in RFX line item page ( Rfx-> line item tab -> click on the pencil icon of any line items )
can anyone help me ?

Sudipta

Thanks Vikram for your help
I got the line in the foum ( referred by you )
You have to create a customized line item collection from scratch and hide the original one; this is possible (import and export can be included with this but will take some effort and change the reports).
can you please tell me how to create the customized line item collection ?

Error : Balancing field "Profit Center" in the line item 001 not filed

Hello
The said error have come under Customer credit memo process for retune of excess tax deduction on billing through T/code VF02. Our system had activated GL splitting. The document line item views are
Customer Cr xxxxx
To CS Tax return Dr xxxxx
the Tax GL a/c is Balance sheet. Both a/c s are not assigned with default Pctr.
If we are assign the tax g/l with default Pctr table then system have post doc. as properly.
But we would like to avoid the same. Because the Tax a/c is not specific Pctr related it is depend on
income / expense GL a/c .
Please advise how to solve this, if any enhancement is available then mentioned.
Regards
Avijit

Hi
What is the Document Splitting method you are using? Are you using your own created splitting method or SAP Std? If you are using your own, than in that case for Item Category of Tax on Sales/Purchase, add allowed Business Transaction as revenue also. You can find the same in IMG>Financial Accounting (New)>General Ledger Accounting (New)>Business Transactions>Document Splitting>Extended Document Splitting>Assign Item Category to Splitting Method.
If you are using the standard splitting method, system will not allow you to change the allowed business transaction. In that case, if you want profit center to derive from material, you need to open a new gl account and assign the same in VKOA. Thereafter, to this gl account assign the item category as Revenue. System will derive the Profit Center from material master.
In your presentation of final accounts, you can club the two accounts of Tax and Tax returns under one head.
If either of the two options do not work, than i guess assignment of a default profit center in FAGL3KEH is one option. If your plant is also your profit center, in such a case, you may also check if Plant is there in the accounting document generated by VF01/VF02 and thereafter write a substitution rule for populating the profit center

Reflection errors in Field Data Edit Scripting context(Line Item class)

Hello Experts,
I have a script that does some validation in the Field Data Edit Scripting context of the "Line Item" class, and I have "MATERIAL" as my target. when i try throwing an Application Exception in this context I get a reflection error message box instead of the message I have passed to the Application Exception constructor.
your help will be greatly appreciated.
kind regards,

One thing to be aware of is that no matter how you choose to construct your exception in field, field data edit and collection scripts, the attribute is always set to the be the taget field/collection. Have you noticed that? The script designers made things that way. What's going on here is that the exception raised in the Interprer is caught by the Script Manager and rethrown with the script target as the attribute and your raised exception as the exception.
One other thing I would point out is that scripts set to execute on the Collection Member Lifecycle event tend to be poor performers. You can get a faster result if you edit whole collection and chain the errors onto one ChainException. I can only speculate as to why, but I have seen major improvements in complex scripts if I iterate the whole collection, versus implementing a collection memeber lifecycle validate event. This is counter-intuitive, but there it is.
Finally, exceptions raised in Collection Lifecycle Events that interupt the overall save process in the prescence of parent document Lifecycle Validation events can result in partially saved data. I observed this issue a few years back and it may be resolved now. The only member lifecycle event I use is Created, to lock, default, etc.
So, for your particular problem, you may want to rethink your strategy and see if you can get things to work for you bypassing that reflection issue. If you still can't raise the exception on MATERIAL, maybe you can raise it on another field, because another advantage of this approach is that you have full control to raise any error on any field on the Line Items.

E Sourcing 7.0: Formula Pricing and Line Item Formula

Hi
I am currently working on e sourcing 7.0. Here there are new features provided in Rfx->Line Item setup called Formula Prcing and Line Item Formula
I was trying to use Line Item Formula feature to provide pricing formula for line items.I chose pricing structure as Formula Prcing and tried to advance the phase of Rfx, System gave an error that I need to create unit price formula if I choose Formula Pricing.But once I create unit price formula it makes the Line Item Formula redundant.
Moreover the problem with unit price formula is Unit Price field is only available with Line Item Formula.It doesnot allow me to create an effective unit price formula beacuse of limitations of field at exposure.
Has anybody used this feature? Kindly help me understand
Regards
Shobha
Edited by: Shobha M Narayanaswamy on Aug 12, 2011 11:02 AM

Hi Shobha,
I hope members who have used this feature chime in. I am only playing with Formula Pricing because we are evaluating these as well.
I was not able to use the standard fields when using Formula Pricing.
I am retracting what I said in the last post, apologies, I made a mistake in the supplier response.
From what I understand now:
If you want to have sub components of the unit price (or more important, any other calculations for unit price), you should choose "Formula Pricing" under Pricing Structure. E.g., my company asks for supplier's manufacturing costs, their purchased parts cost etc all of which contribute to make up the unit price. In this example, I created Supplier Entered Attributes for Manufacturing Cost and Purchased Parts Cost and added a Unit Price formula which was the sum of both. In addition, I created a Supplier Entered Attribute for "Freight Cost" which is not really a part of the unit price, but is an additional cost. In Line Item Formulas, I added 2 formulae, just for example.
Total Freight Cost = Quantity * Freight Cost (Supplier Entered Attribute)
Total Calculated Cost = Total Freight Cost + (UnitPrice(IncoTerm) * Quantity)
Part 1 - Quantity = 10, Manufacturing Cost = 5, Purchased Part Cost = 5, Freight = 3
Part 2 - Quantity = 10, Manufacturing Cost = 6, Purchased Part Cost = 6, Freight = 3
System correctly calculated
Part 1 Unit Price = 10
Part 1 Unit Price = 12
Part 1 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 3 = 30
Part 2 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 3 = 30
Sum=60
Part 1 Total Calculated Cost = 30 + (10*10) = 130
Part 2 Total Calculated Cost = 30 + (10*12) = 150
Sum = 280
If you do not need the sub-components of the Unit Price, we can leave the pricing structure at Unit Price. I did that for an RFX, and also added the same 2 formulae in Line Item Formulas as above. This worked fine for me.
Part 1 - Quantity = 10, Unit Price = 3, Freight = 5
Part 2 - Quantity = 10, Unit Price = 3, Freight = 5
System correctly calculated:
Part 1 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 5 = 50
Part 2 Total Freight Cost = 10 * 5 = 50
Sum=100
Part 1 Total Calculated Cost = 50 + (10*3) = 80
Part 2 Total Calculated Cost = 50 + (10*3) = 80
Sum = 160
Both the above scenarios work fine for me.
The only open item is, I could not find a way to get these added to the Total Cost and Total Price listed on the "RFX Responses tab". I don't think it is possible to do that. I think you have to view these in the "Formula View" of the respective supplier proposal.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

Problem accessing RFx Response Line Item - Item Specification Group

Hi There,
How does one access the BUYER_SPEC_GROUP collection on the Rfx Line Item Response (ID 772) object? I've read other posts where people are having difficulty but I wasn't clear on their approach. I think I'm accessing the BUYER_SPEC_GROUP collection correctly, and in fact I can see the correct size(); however, when I iterate over the collection I get a null object reference.
I appreciate any help - I've been stumped for days
My code is as follows (output is documented as comments), and I'm triggering on the RFX Response Save:
displayName = doc.getDisplayName();
log.setLogMessage("***** display name: " + displayName);
Logger.info(log);
// correctly returns the RFX Response display name
// get line item collection
lineItemCollectionMetaData = doc.getCollectionMetadata("COLLN_LINEITEM");
log.setLogMessage("***** lineItemCollectionMetaData : " + lineItemCollectionMetaData );
Logger.info(log);
// returns com.sap.odp.api.ibean.common.AbsIBean$ IBeanCollectionMd@68f2f4c3
lineItemCollectionName = lineItemCollectionMetaData.getCollectionLogicalName();
log.setLogMessage("***** line item collection name: " + lineItemCollectionName);
Logger.info(log);
// returns COLLN_LINEITEM
lineItemCollectionValue = lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc);
log.setLogMessage("***** line item collection size: " + lineItemCollectionValue.size());
Logger.info(log);
// correctly returns the size (I've tested with single and multiple line items)
try{
     log.setLogMessage("***** get(doc) returns " + lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc));
     Logger.info(log);
        // returns com.sap.odp.doc.iapi.IapiLocator$@2f81a09d
     LIIterator = lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc).iterator();
     log.setLogMessage("***** LIIterator returns " + LIIterator );
     Logger.info(log);
        // returns com.sap.odp.api.ibean.common.AbsCollection$BeanIterator@6757bbc8
     while(LIIterator.hasNext()){
          LICollectionBean = (Object) LIIterator.next();
          if(null != LICollectionBean){
                        // never makes it here
               log.setLogMessage("***** LI Collection Bean:" + LICollectionBean);
               Logger.info(log);
          else     {
                        // always returns the following:
               log.setLogMessage("***** LI Collection Bean is NULL");
               Logger.info(log);
catch (Exception e) {
     log.setLogMessage("***** ERROR " + e);
     Logger.info(log);

Error 'Enter GL Account' while posting and invoice line item in MIRO

Hello Gurus,
I am facing a rather wierd issue.
While posting a PO invoice in Tcode MIRO, its asking to enter the GL account in line items. Everytime I am entering the GL account and pressing the enter key, it wipes off the GL account clean and gives the same error 'Enter GL account'.
It seems like this error is happening at the very first line item of the invoice. System is able to accept the GL account in 2,3,4th lines. If I delete the first line item, whatever is the first line item in that screen adapts the issue.
Any help would be great as I have no clue what to do.
Thanks

Problem with Sourcing for multiple line items SRM 7.0

Dear All,
We are in SRM 7.0, extended classic scenerio,
For sourcing we have selected config "Sourcing is carried out for items without a Assigned source of supply" for all sytems and all product categories
Our requirement is Catalog items should not go to sourcing, Item with and without assigned source of supply both should go to sourcing and external requirements SC should go to sourcing.
We have done coding in BADI "DOC SAVE BADI" and "BBP_SRC_DETERMINE" method DETERMINE_SOURCING.
Now we create SC with line items only using Catalog it is working fine, SC not going to sorcing,
Create SCfor line items with assigned source of supply only it is working fine, SC going to sourcing,
and Create SCfor line items without assigned source of supply only it is working fine, SC going to sourcing,
But problem is with the combination of all items i.e. Catalog, with and w/o assigned source of supply in one SC
Assigned source of supply item is not appearing in Sourcing cockpit, and some time catalog items also available for sourcing.
Please help
Thanks in Advance
Vikas
Edited by: VIKAS CHINCHORE on Oct 4, 2011 11:53 AM
Any luck?

Hi
Please revisit your logic wriiten in this method
DETERMINE_SOURCING
Are you checking here sc has item or sc has supplier or not ( fixed supplier) in the logic? it must be item check.
As per sap standard , catalog item / fixed source of supply assigned will not venture to cockpit (Sourcing is carried out for items without a Assigned source of supply)

Error display line items

Hi Gurus,

Diagnosis
You have determined that displaying line items is not to be possible for G/L account 41000010 in company code 1000.
Procedure
It is presumably a clearing account (incoming check account, GR/IR clearing account) which has its own reports for analysis.

Hi,
Intally GOTO FS00 and tick the line item display and then GOTO SE38 and give program RFSEPA01 and execute .
then GIVE co code and GL account number

Hide field in Line Item collection on RFx

Hi All,
I am currently trying to implement what seemed like an easy customization. However, it has proven to not be so easy.
I am trying to hide the SELLSIDE_QTY_EDIT on RFx Line Items.
I created a page customization on rfx.rfxdoc.ui.buyside.default
and put hidden to True for SELLSIDE_QTY_EDIT. However, the field remained visible as part of the Line_Items collection.
To test that I had the page customization created correctly, I tried to hide the Line_Items collection altogether. This worked.
Is there something different with the fields contained within the Line_Items collection that prevents me from hiding them? Or is there another route I can take to hide it. I did notice that the RFx Line_Items collection has multiple view options (Basic View, Cost/Savings View, and ERP View) could this be a factor in the page customization not working?
Thanks.
Edited by: Greg Stewart on Jan 28, 2010 5:05 PM

Add the name of the collection to the field. Try LINE_ITEMS.SELLSIDE_QTY_EDIT

Blank Line Item for Rfx Response with Limit Item

Hi All,
I have a problem in rfx response for limit item. When creating RFx for limit item, I am using display limit as 'Available to Bid On' and using short text in RFx line item (not using product code). But when bidder creating rfx response, all field in line item is blank (no short text, product category, currency, etc) and bidder need to click on details to see item data. Is this a standard?FYI I'am using SRM 7.0 with extended classic scenario.
I already try display limit as 'Accept or Reject Possible' but the problem still persists.
Rgds,
Aleluya.

Hello Aleluya,
As per standard system behaviour you user should be able to see these details in the Item overview screen itself. There is no need to navigate to the details of the same to view them.
Only to enter price bidder needs to go details of the limit item.
Have you done any custom changes for the reported scenario here or you are using the standard feature.
Best Regards,
Rahul
