Esource- Contract Generation

Hi Experts:
I am trying to configure/install the Contract Generation part of the "SAP E-Sourcing 5.1 SP02" and the installation guide has a step which says "Once the prerequisites have been met, simply run the install program
WordServiceInstaller.msi." . I am unable to find "WordServiceInstaller.msi". The download media does not have it. Please guide me where to get this.

Thanks Ankush. That did the trick for me.
After the installation and running through almost all the steps of the installation I am getting the following error:
Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

E-Sourcing and Contract Generation

Hi Gurus,
Can we implement E-Sourcing application only now and Contract Generation next year?
Or do we have to have the initial setup from hardware perspective completed now?
Thanks
JS

Hi JS,
Typically Contract Generation is recommended to be running on a seperate dedicated server.
As you might be aware its MS Word or MS Office service running on the server.
You can certainly include in your hardware design now and install the MSI or the executable provided along with ESOURCING software at a later time. There are certain system properties that needs to be set up or turned on at the time of installing the word service.

Problem finding WordService for Contract Generation in SAP E-Sourcing5.1

Hi,
I'm currently deploying Contract Generation Web Service in SAP E-Sourcing5.1/CLM 2.0 SP02. The problem is that I can't find WordService software which is mandatory for adding XML Schema in MS Word. In the instGuide it says that the installer is on the distribution media but we downloaded the packages on the SWDC. I know that in SAP E-Sourcing 5.0, WordService was in the patch C but for the release 5.1 I have no information. Do you know which SP or Patch contains WordService?
Thanks in advance.
Additional query : I'm currently adding a KM/TREX server for index clauses and agreements documents. Are the "draft" documents visible in the Esourcing repository (In KM Content Management and also in CLM Content Search)?
Julien NORMAND

OK, I'm going to find a MS Word 2003 Pro.
For the windows update, I was just updating my OS, so rebooting and so on.
I test to modify the prefixe of the repository in the KM but now I can't access to the data source of my indexes (java exception). I think the "/" is mandatory, It's written in the label ... In TREX admin tool, I see my KM indexes, and I try to parameter again the scheduling of the queue. I schedule it every 5 minutes.
Now I have to reboot the system that the modification of the repository take effect. After I modify the scheduling of the indexing for every data source (like you said).
Thanks for all.

Error In Contract Generation

Hello Experts
We are getting an error in the contract generation process in SAP Sourcing system. The error message is coming as "Your request has failed because of an unexpected error. Contact the system administrator".
We checked the logs in FCI directory of Word Service and found the below error:

We had checked that the Word Service is up and no other process is listening on the Port 80 or 445 it is configured on. We are using NW 7.3 SP08 and Sourcing Version 9.0 SP15.

How do we enable Variable Substitution during Contract Generation

Hello experts,
I am working with the Contract Generation Variable Library and according to some of the Help documents, it is possible on the Contract Tokens to override the default values during Contract Generation.
I am not sure why, but on our system, this function doesnt seem to work.
So for eg, if my token "Valid From" picks up the value from the system, it becomes non-editable.
Effective Date | <%Agreement.EffectiveDate%> | 26-08-10
I would like to override the value 26-08-10 before the Document is generated.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this problem before and found a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

I kept searching through MSDN and found a page that describes SqlPackage.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx). This page says that SQLCMD variables
can be specified on the command line.
"SqlPackage.exe initiates the
actions specified using the parameters, properties, and SQLCMD variables specified on the command line."
The page does not describe the syntax for specifying SQLCMD variables nor whether values specified on the command line overwrite any values in the .dacpac file. Can somebody confirm that specifying SQLCMD variable values on the command line will overwrite
any values included in the .dacpac at build-time?

Problem in Contract Generation

Hi All,
I am facing problem with E-Sourcing application.
when we upload any word document in system it gave below error.
There is problem with contract generation web service.
But contract generation web sevice is working fine.
When searched for this got following troubleshooting steps ( which are basic steps)
Steps for troubleshooting:
1. Log into the "System" login for the specific customer.
2. Go to System Properties.
3. Look for the property called "contractgen.serviceurl".
4. Copy the whole URL in this property (ends in asmx)
5. Open a new browser and paste the URL from step 4.
This should open a WordService page. If you get a page not found error, then the service needs to be restarted.
My WordService page is opening. Hence no help here.
Next step is only to Create CSS message to SAP.
But before that if anyone had encounterd this problem before then please let me know how to proceed here.
Also when restarted WebLogic server, in C:/fci/logs we can fingd one error as follows.
Startting word service instance.....

Implementing Auto Contract Generation/Negotiation and Execution

Would love to hear from anyone that has implemented auto contract generation/negotiation and execution. Were there any lessons learned you could share during implementation? Were there things you found out - too late? Are you seeing adoption? How long did the implementation take? Pain points along the road? Things you would do differently? We are getting ready to take this trip ourselves and I have a feeling it will not be smooth sailing.

Hello Sravan
Your message isn't clear fo me
If you used import for new master data you can use automatic key generation ability for inbound port
The another way:
You can create special key field in MDM and
create simple workflow which fire when ADD record.
That worklflow call assignment which fill key field

Contract Generation question: Formatting, Numbering of clauses, variables

Hi!
I am trying to create a Contract Document Template (for Contract Generation) with Variables
I created some Variable Collections, but when I link them to the Contract Template, they add on with a different formatting altogether, which is neither like the placeholder in the template nor like the template attached to the variable.
My variable configuration was of the type Paragraph.
If anyone has any helpful tips on formatting Contract Document Templates, it would be most appreciated.
Also, how do I ensure that numbering of sections and clauses is sequentially made in the final Contract.
Regards,
Reshma

I was able to fix the problem by making some word document format changes.
Please ignore this question.

Reshma

Contract Generation Localized Resouces ( SAP e-Sourcing 5.1)

Hi,
I am new to this community and was really motivated to put up my posts after seeing the responses on other questions.
While uploading a contract in a master agreement, the contract document type (Contract, Amendment and Addendum) is given as drop down list. I want to create a localized resource for the contract document type (Contract, Amendment and Addendum) since i couldn't find it in the system. Following are my doubt.
1. While creating localized resources, for other languages in the system "Value" field has been greyed out. (For eg if i want to provide the german translation of "Contract" in the system i.e "Vertragsdokument", i am not able to do it, only the value override field is active)
2. If i provide the translation, would it automatically reflect in the system or do i need to assign this manually.
I have system administrator rights and the localized resource is not defined for those values in the system.

Hi,
I dont think you need to go the Localized resource route for accomplishing this requirement.
Simply goto Setup --> Document Setup and pull up the Contract document types under contract documents. Here you will see the available contract doc types available in your system. if you want to rename Contract to Vertragsdokument, then just edit and rename the Name field to Vertragsdokument.
Additionally if you want more contract doc types available to the user, just click on the Create button and populate the fields for new contract doc types to be created.
I am assuming this is what you want to achieve.
Hope this helps,
Vikram Shukla

Error while Generating Clause/section/contract template

Hi,
When I try to generate clauses, sections or contract document template, at the time of uploading the .doc file, the system is throwing an error like, "There is a problem with contract generation web service. Please contact your system administrator." How do I solve this error? I am using SAP Sourcing 7.0
Thanks and Regards,

Hi
This is a common error that mainly happen when the call to contract gen service is not resolved. Plz check whether your contract gen web service link http://<hostname>:<port>/WordService/wordservice.asmx is up or not.
Also restart the contract gen server and check once

GOA distribution to several contracts in r/3 not working

Hi,
I have a problem with GOA distribution to backend. I would like to obtain the situation when I have 2 items in GOA, in Distribution I have also two inputs (both for the same purchasing organization, but locations are different) and the GOA is distributed to R/3 to 2 different contracts - one for the first location and first item and the second contract for second item and location. I'm not able to get that working right.
Typically, does the SRM generate 2 different numbers for to r/3 contracts that were distributed from GOA?
I have GOA number 5600000150 and no matter how many items and locations (in Distribution) I indicate, there is always only one contract in r/3 is being created. When I indicate for instance 2 purchasing organizations in Distribution, there's only one contract in r/3 created for that first one.
Please help if you know what can be wrong.

Hi
Definitely, seems to be a bug in the system.

Contract Gen Not working

Hi
We are facing problem with Contract Generation service .
While checking the log file , we found the below-

Hi ,
Not sure the exceptoin message in the logs posted here is very relevant to the scenario explained. Please check to see any other errors/exceptoins in the logs and post it here..
btw, were you able to access the wordservice url (http://.../wordservice.asmx) from the web-browser? Are both CLM & wordservice in the same domain or are there any firewalls in between? Do you have more than one installation of wordservice? if yes, try to point to the other and try isolating the problem...
Thanks,

Product-ID mandatory in RFQ and Contract

Hi SRM-gurus. Is Product-ID (material master) mandatory in order to create Quotations and Contracts from Sourcing? Also, can you create backend contract without material master and/or item category "W", or are there any limitations related to contract generation from Sourcing to ERP?`
brgs ziggy

Hi Jain
1) Suggest you to replicate materials. Refer Blog by Marcin /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
2) If you want to create contract in ECC from sourcing (or RFx), you need to implement BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS. Check the sample implementation at https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS-CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE (if there is any problem with this link, goto SRM Wiki section in SDN)
3) You need to follow 'Contract Management Scenario' and 'Plan Driven Procurement' config, if you have Solution manager.
If you do not have solution manager, use 'Sourcing Config Guide' given in https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/Configuration+Guides (or service.sap.com/ibc-srm).
Best regards
Ramki

Problem in Contract update SRM

Hi experts,
I'am trying tlo update a contract using the FM :   'BBP_PD_CTR_UPDATE' . I use the folowing logic :
   * Lock contract
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_LOCK'
      EXPORTING
        i_header_guid = l_header_updated-guid.
*Update
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_UPDATE'
      EXPORTING
        i_park                  = 'X'
        i_header                = l_header_updated
        iv_with_change_approval = ' '
        it_conditions           = lt_conditionsu
      TABLES
        i_item                  = wt_item2
        e_messages              = lt_message.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_SAVE'
      EXPORTING
        iv_header_guid = l_header_updated-guid.
    " Unlock contract
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_CTR_UNLOCK'
      EXPORTING
        i_header_guid = l_header_updated-guid.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
The contract is updated correctly but the problem is the statut of the contract in the portal was changed from 'Realesed' to ' Approved'.
Any Idea,
best regards
