External requirements

Hello SRM folks,
We are on SRM Server 5.5 with ECC 6.0 classic scenario. We have external requirements ( Purchase requisition in ECC) coming to SRM sourcing. In SRM we are creating GOA (Using SRM becuase of document builder) and distributing contract o backend ECC.
We are able able to create PO with reference to contract in ECC. But we want to reference purchase req (Because to carry all the accounting details to PO as SRM GOA does not passes accouting information to ECC contract) along with contract. When we create PO with refereence to contract and purchase req in ECC we get the following error message
Purchase requisition 10000601 00001 can only be ordered in system SRDCLNT301
Message no. 6Q 202, 6Q 203
Could you please suggest -
How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req.
OR
How can we pass the accounting information from SRM shopping cart to GOA to ECC to contract.
Thanks

Hi Dinesh / Pradeep
Could you get a fix to this issue, we are facing the same error after we have successfully distributed the SRM Central Contract to ECC and then trying to fullfil the MRP generated PR that we used for sourcing
We are in the classic scenario and in the classic scenario, we cannot create a Purchase ORder in ECC from SRM, it only creates local SRM PO
Hence we are doing the following process steps for PDP with PM scenario
1) MRP Run
2) Push the PR as a Shopping Cart to SRM
3) Select the Shopping Cart and create RFx
4) Publish the RFx and Award the Vendor with the SRM Central Contract
5) Distribute the SRM Central Contract to a ECC contract
6) Use ME57 to turn the MRP PR to a ECC PO by assigning the Distributed backend contract as a source of supply in ECC
We are failing step 6
Your answer was below, but it did not end in a resolutuoin
Please let me know the resolution to this step

" How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req. "
- this message is due to standard config we do in ECC for matl grp & pur grp for PR transfer in table T160EX
ECC books the combo of matl grp & pgrp for external system (SRM) and will not allow to process the PR in it.
a procurement profile is allotted in EBAN.
Don't think you can change the message type to Warning or info.

External requirement from non SAP system created in SRM 7.0 Extended Classi

Hello SRM Gurus:
Has anyone created an external requirement using XI ExternalRequirement_Create_In (http://sap.com/xi/EBP). We are getting a E001 "No company code could be determined for backend for product##". I traced the error to FM 'BAPI_SCEC_CREATE' in class "CL_BBPX_EXTERNAL_REQUIREMENT". What I found is that it check the attributes for BUK and updates a table with the backend EEC system. Then it checks if any of the entries match our external non SAP system in our external requirement and since it is a non SAP system none do. Then it sets a return error code.
I configured our non SAP system in the SLD and in SPRO under "Define System Landscape" as a non SAP system.
We are running external classic scenario. We just want to created a shopping cart from an external non SAP system. Source the shopping cart in SRM and create the PO in SRM/ECC. We are not using a product master but creating "describe requirement" in our external system. Our product categories are replicated from ECC and the same codes used in our external non SAP planning system.
If I change the external planning system to the ECC backend system, the external requirement is created in SRM but when I source it and convert it to a PO, it returns a backend error that the external requirement number does not exist in ECC. Therefore it appears all of our data from our external system is correct with the exception of how to deternine the backend company code
According to SAP this should be possible using XI.
Has anyone been successful doing this or can you please advise any OSS notes or documentation explaining how to do this. Please advise if you need additikonal info.
Thanks in advance.

MRP at storage location level with external requirements

HI,
We have to have reorder point planning at storage location level. Also we need to consider external requirements.
When I am setting storage location MRP indicator as 2 and putting Reorder point and replenishment quantity, then after running MRP it only considers the replenishment quantity but it doesnot consideer any external requirements.
Help me out how to configure the requirement?
Regards
Sukant

Hi,
I think your question is answered by Sarita Doddi.
If you have several storage location for your plant, you cannot plan for them separately unless you assign them to a separate MRP area.
If a storage location (alone) is assigned to an MRP area, it means you wan to plan for it separately. If several storage locations are assigned to an MRP area (or let's say to a plant), it means you want to plan using all of them - and you cannot choose only one and plan for it (you can exclude a SLoc from planning w/o assigning it to MRP area).
So, planning is not SLoc wise, it goes MRP area wise.

Planning with Re-order point considering external requirements(MRP type V1)

Dear all,
We are working for a scenario as mentioned below,
We procure some marterial from our vendors, stock it and then sell to other customers.
Here we want to use Re order point planning considering external requirements , i.e. MRP type V1.
We have maintained following master data
MRP type = V1
Re order point quantity
Lot size = HB
Maximum stock level
Planned delivery time.
We have also created source list,Info record and scheduling agreement
We also maintained setting of schedule agreement in source list as 2 (Record relevant to MRP schedule lines generated automatically)
By doing above mentioned things when we run MRP we are getting schedule lines generated through MRP, for the lot size arrived by considering re order level,max. stock level etc.
My requirement is the schedule line that is coming through MRP should get firmed up, whcih is not happening currently.
Pl. guide as what other setting is required for getting firmed schedule lines.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi
Automatic firming of Schedule lines only possible with the settings of Planning time Fence (PTF) in MRP-1 view with MRP type which allows firming . With Standard MRP type V1 it is not possible.
As per my idea , better to create new MRP type in SPRO by copying V1 settings and give Firming type as 1 additionally. Use this new MRP type in the MRP-1 view and give Planning Time Fence say 30.
When u run MRP then the requirements falling within the PTF get firmed Automatically.
Pl try and revert back

Document contains no items - Carry Out Sourcing From External Requirements

Hello Experts,
I have a problem in carrying-out sourcing in SRM 701 with external requirements come from ECC 6.0
I want to process the requirements into purchase order, everything is OK because I see the line item of requirement is there. But when I check the document, this error occurs
Back-End Error:Document contains no items
Back-End Error:Please enter items first
It seems SRM didn't bring the item displayed to the back-end so it keeps sending error message.
How could that happen when I can see the document clearly contains item?
Appreciate all the answers

External requirements from ERP to SRM with ExtendedClassic scenario for PPS

Hi all,
We are having SRM 7.01 system with ERP ehp4, and we have to do PPS ( Public sector Procurement) as part of our implementation,for that we need to activate Extended classic Scenario.
My question is whether we can have external requirements ( Material PR and Service PR) from ERP can be processed in the srm system.
Please help.
Regards,
Raju

Hi
We can use either the CPPR functionality which requires PI/XI to be in place or maintaining the T160PR and T160EX tables in ECC and running the report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER to push the PR's into SRM. In SRM we have to maintain the entry channel to bring the PR's into SOCO.

External requirment number (PR #) in backend Service PO

Dear All,
We are implementing classic scenario with simplified pricing on SRM4.0 and ECC6.0 as backend.
During strategic sourcing scenario i.e. for Bid Invitation out of external requirement (PR transferred from R/3 to SRM ),when we trigger a PO system doesn't populate the Purchase requisition number in backend PO for service items.
In case of material items system populates PR number in backend PO.
Please throw some light on how to get the PR number populated in the service PO.
Kindly write back.
Regards,
Nilesh Swami

Hi. Just configure the same types for Req and PO in the backend, that is the easiest solution.

Dave.

What are external requirements in re-order planning?

Hi,
I read in SAP help that "sales orders, dependent requirements, reservations and so on..." are external requirements.
Is the demand from a production order considered external requirement?
Also what are dependent requirements here? & what kind of reservations are considered a part of external requirements?
Sincerely,
Puja

Hi,
In reorder point planning normally only stock is taken into consideration, meaning that replenishment is initiated when stock falls below the reorder point, and replenishment lot size is either a fixed quantity or up to a maximum stock level.
In some cases you may want to take into consideration also additional requirements; demand from production orders is a reservation, thus taken into account.

mario

External Requirements and local Product Categories

Hi all,
please could you assist:
We are running SRM 7 with several ECC backends in ECS.
We would like to transfer ext. requirement from one backend to SRM (via BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER).
No problems so far.
Prerequisites:
Product categories should only be maintained local in SRM (no r3MATCLASS).
Idea for Solution:
Use of BADI PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2 and BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to use the internal product category for replicated materials and for the Inbound external requirements
Questions:
If we now transfer an external requirement from ECC to SRM (including a product), how does SRM behave (STANDARD)?
Is it mandatory to obtain the replicated product in SRM including the backend product category?
That would mean, we have to replicate the product categories from ECC as well and could not map the incoming requirements to "our" SRM interlanl product categories?
Any experience concerning standard SRM checks for external requirements?
Thanks and best regards
Andreas

Problem solved
We have just mantained local product categories.
Replicated products (from ERP) are automatically switched to these local categories

External requirements coming with info records

External requirements to SRM

Hi All,
Any idea on how we can achieve processing of external requirements to SAP SRM from Legacy if we are not considering SAP XI or SAP BC.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Hi,
Get the legacy requirement and text file and post the file entry using the FM BAPI_SCEC_CREATE to create the external requirement into the SRM SC?

CUF fiedls and external requirements

I am currently working on the external requirements proxy to bring legacy requirements into SRM.
I have done the mapping in XI to add the custom fields to the proxy structure:
   <ExternalRequirementItem>
   <UserDefinedExtension>
     <Name>ZSRM_REVLEVEL</Name>
     <Value>001</Value>
   </UserDefinedExtension>
   </ExternalRequirementItem>
The value is not passing. In the web I can see the field and add a value and the value passes to the sourcing cockpit.
I have been doing work in BBP_CUF_BADI_2, but as I said I can see the field, input a value and pass it, so I don't think this is an issue.
Has anyone run into this issue or have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bill

William,
I am attempting to re-generate the ExternalRequirementCreateIn proxy in SRM to include the additional data on the interface in XI. I am running into an issue and am hoping you might be able to help.
I am able to re-generate the proxy. It did require me to register several objects and structures, but once I did this the proxy did generate.
When I try to activate it I get the following error "The used object, STRU PRXCTRL, is not visible." This stops the proxy from activating.
Can you suggest anything to get around this or have you run into anything similar to this in the past?
Thanks for the help,
Bill Davis

Delete old external requirements from Sourcing cockpit

Hi,
Is there anything to delete the old External requirements and shopping carts from the Sourcing Cockpit (BBPSOCO01)????? Today i have 500 items in the bbpsoco01 then i want to delete the old requirements and complete requirements (with follow on document), but i don´t know how???
Thanks.

Hi Claudia,
When you enter the Carry out sourcing . To complete the shopping cart you need to click the Complete Item button that is present in the Actions section of sourcing cockpit screen. Once you click on that button the shopping cart will disappear and you wont be able to create a PO from that SC.
If you dont find the button on the sourcing cockpit search screen please refer this following note:
Note: 787785 Actions are missing in 'Find' tab.
Thanks,
Pradeep
