GOA as source of supply

Hello all,
We are using the extended classic scenario and have successfully distributed GOA to create contract in the R/3 backend .
Is it possible to use this contract which has been created in R/3 as as a source of supply in the Shopping Cart transaction in SRM? What setting do I have to maintain in case it is possible to use GOA as source of suppliy in Shopping Cart?
Also in SRM GOA transcation we can distribute GOA to backend based on each unique combination of Porg,Plant and Document Type.
What setting needs to be done if I want to distribute GOA based on Porg,Company Code and Document Type.
Is it possible to Distribute GOA to MDM catalog...I dont see any option in GOA transcation though its there for SRM Local contract.
Regards

Hi Ajith,
A GOA (unlike a process contract) is not a source of supply and hence cannot be distributed to catalogs. This is because what you have in a catalog can be a source of supply but GOA cannot be.
Its the same reason why a GOA cannot be used in a SC as source of supply.

GOA as SOS (Source Of Supply) in extended classic scenario

Hi,
I understand that when I create a SC in EBP, GOA can't be a SOS in "Extended Classic Scenario (SRM 5.0)". If I want to make GOA as SOS, how do I do it ?
I have searched the forums and found that the below BADIs can be used.
BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE
BBP_CTR_INIT_UP
BBP_CTR_MAIL_BADI
BBP_CTR_MASS_BADI
Now I am looking for someone who has done this scenario and please explain how did you do it ?
With regards,
Pranav

Hi,
I had a former project where I modified SRM standard source so that I can use GOA as source of supply in extended classic scenario. In Standard, as you know, SAP doesn't allow to use GOA as SOS in extended classic. In extended classic, we have to use local SRM contract as SOS. In my case, it was SRM 3.0.
Cheers.

GOA not picked up as source of supply in R/3 when converting PR to PO

Hi
We are currently using SRM 5.0 extended classic scenario. Here we are using Global outline agreements which will get replicated to backend R/3 system and can be used as source of supply while converting a Purchase requisition to Purchase order. The aim is to use Global outline agreements instead of Info records which will be more flexible.
Once MRP run is done, based on requirement Purchase requisitions are created. Using ME57 we convert the PRs to Purchase orders by assigning source of supply. At this point I would expect the GOA to be picked up,whcih is created against this product. But this is not happening as of now.
Please let me know if there is configuration or prerequisites that need to be done for this.
Also when I am trying to assign the GOA manually in PR, it is throwing the error as 'Item category of contract does not match with Item category in PR', even though both has Item category as 'Standard'.

Hi
GOA is not source of supply Indeed.
whatever you have distributed the GOA as a Purchasing contract is a real source of supply.
if the contract is available in ECC , then it is a valid source of supply for your purchase request.
Can you use the same contract for any other manual / PM /PS purchase request?
Are you assigning same material contract to your purchase request ?
the problem is for only MRP PRs or all PRs.

Sources of supply giving wrong results.

Dear experts,
We are using SRM 4.0 ,server 500.
When creating a shopping cart, and checking the proposed sources of supply for a particular product, we get a list of more than 20 contracts. (correct)
When we directly want to create a PO we only get 6 contracts for the same product? Does anybody know what can be the reason for this behavior?
Kind Regards,
Tom

Tom,
A few things to check:
1. Is the config setting to control the source list via AVL maintained?
2. If not then all the contracts for that material or product category will show up in the shopping cart as the source list.
3. Have all the contracts (GOA ) created in SRM exists in R/3 or you do not have any contarcts in SRM at all.
4. In this case have you mainatined any AVLs with backend contracts.
Hope this helps.

Sourcing - Sources of supply.

Hello Experts
Could you all please tell what are the different source of supply can be used in classic, extended classic and standalone scenario.
Also let me know, what are the sources of supply can be replicated from the backends and their respective programs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Santosh,
In SRM source of supply will be assigned in shopping cart level, sourcing cockpit or in PO if a PO created directly without SC (possible only for a professional purchaser role) based on the implementation scenario here is the details information:
Extended classic Scenario:
Source of supply in SC:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
3. If SC is not soco relevant then after approval PO will be created in held status, where buyer can assign vendor
Sourcing cockpit:
1. Buyer can assign a vendor
2. Buyer can assign a contract
3. Buyer can create a RFx (bid / auction) with reference to SC and later that can be converted into a PO / contract
Sourcing in PO (In case PO is created directly)
Here buyer can assign a vendor
Buyer can enter vendor & contract if contract is available (should be created for same vendor / location & product category combination)
Classic Scenario:
SRM shopping cart:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
PR / PO in ECC:
1. If a supplier list is maintained then supplier / contract will be picked from the supplier list
2. Buyers can process the PR / PO and assign a source of supply
Standalone / Local scenario:
Same as Extended classic scenario (source of supply assignment)
Replication:
Except the local scenario: Vendor master data can be replicated / update from ECC to SRM using BBPGETVD / BBPUPVD programs
Contracts can be maintained in SRM (contract management) and same can be used as a source of supply in SRM / ECC (SRM 7.0 central contract) or separate contacts for SRM i.e. local contract & ECC i.e. GOA's (In case of SRM 5.0 version)
Also, you can import the contract from ECC to SRM via initial upload program.
Hope above information will provide an overview about the source assignment / replication process.
Regards,
Krish

Hi Nitin,
there seems to be an issue with the xml in the request body.
As an approach, you could try to send two separate requests, in order to check if the creation of the parent entity works and then use the specified link and check if the creation of the child entity works with the given xml. This could help to clarify which part of the xml is actually rejected
I've copied below the xml of a deep insert that works for me.
It is the request body of a POST request sent to the BusinessPartnerCollection of the service ZGWSAMPLE_SRV that can be found here:
https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZGWSAMPLE_SRV?sap-ds-debug=true
Hope it helps a bit.

Costing Run Error: No Valid Source of Supply

Hi Experts,
   I am new to Costing,
    While executing Costing Run for a matrial ABC in plant XXX with a Costing Run 111, I get an error No valid source of supply could be found
but when I run the Costing Run for Same material for sam plant with different Costing Run It gets executed properly.
I have read the thread related to it where it is giving reference to note 713111, 499699 and 422926 but there is no check for Source List in Material master.
Regards,
Rajdeep Rane.
Edited by: Rajdeep Rane on Jul 24, 2008 1:30 PM

Rajdeep
Use OKKN as Jigar says.
Select the costing variant that you are using and then click on "valuation variant"
Look at the tab for subcontract - this will show what the costing variant is useing to creat cost estimates with.
Your options for subcontracting are:
2 Effective Price from Quotation Without Fixed Costs
3 Net Quotation Price
4 Gross Quotation Price
5 Effective Price from Quotation
6 Effective Price from Purchase Order Without Fixed Costs
7 Net Purchase Order Price
8 Gross Purchase Order Price
9 Effective Price from Purchase Order
If your material has a Special Procuremnet key 30 - then one of these strategies has to be used.

Error 'No valid source context supplied' for getEntity / getEntitySet call

Hi All
we have configured our ECC system with IW_BEP and Gateway as standalone system. We have developed the Gateway Services using SEGW in backend ECC system and have registered these services on Gateway system.
However when we are executing getEntity or getEntitySet methods in Browser or Gateway Client, the call is failing with error message 'No valid source context supplied.'
I checked the error log for this issue and it says Deserialization of XML failed via transformation ''. Can you guys suggest what could be the issue with this error? Is this due to in-correct configuration? In our Gateway system, we have created System-Alias for ECC system with both check-boxes for Local GW & For Local App as unticked. The RFC destination underlying this System alias is working fine.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Deepak Salokhe

Hello Deepak,
OK thanks for sharing the info regarding Key.
Can u try checking why its failing in method /IWBEP/CL_MGW_REMOTE_HANDLER-->REQUEST_PROCESS ?
Only way is to debug Deepak. Since error is not specific we nned to debug in these kind of cases and try to know y its failing. This might help and we may get some info which will help fixing things.
This problem is only happening for this particular service ? or its happening for all the services ?
Check this first. If its happening for rest of the services then problem is something else with the GW/BE components only. If not then its service specific.
Can u try regenerating objects again and check ?
Regards,
Ashwin

Contract Source of Supply Not Populating in SC

Hello:
We are in a classic scenario of SRM 5.0 and the source of supply in the SC is not populating (either from an existing local contract or backend contract). Our expected result is to see the contract(s) associated with that material under the "source of supply" grouping.
- Side note: When creating a local contract in SRM, we get a dialog box with the error message "ordering party could not be determined" Not sure if this is related to the big issue, but it looks like an org structure error and we can't figure out the related attribute.
Can you help shed some light on the situation?
Much appreciation,
Edgar

Error when creating a source of supply list via me01 and/otr me05

Dear expert,
We use SAP R/3 4.6c release.
I'm trying to create a source of supply that uses a contract.
I get an error message 'Object does not exist'.
When I look at the details of this messsage I see it is
Message OL 826
Diagnosis :
You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2053 with the key
0000000000001026311990. No instance of this kind exists.
I have checked SW01 and regenerated the object type BUS2053. The generated object looks ok, but when I test it it still comes up with the same error message.
What did I forget?

HI ,
This is a program error .
Implement Note 683767.
According ti this note it will solve the following problem which is similar to your problem
"When you try to maintain a source list using Transaction ME01, the system generates a termination message with number OL826 'You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2053 with the key. No instance of this kind exists'. "
Hope it helps you .

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

SRM 4.0: Source of Supplier not copying in line item on Shopping Cart

We are using SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup and currently experiencing a problem with the source of supplier not being copied on line items. The user stated that when copying a line items in a shopping cart the source of supplier is not copying to the new line. It happens sometimes but not everytime the client uses the line copy option.
It was initially thought that based on the amount of the line item (>=$25,000) that would cause the source of supplier (vendor) not to copy to the new line item but it has been verified by client that is not the case. If anyone has seen this issue and know of what the root cause could be please let me know.
Thanks

Yann,
Actually this is occurring when the user is creating a shopping cart from scratch. He added a line item either from catalog or free text, sources the item and then uses the copy function to copy the line item. When the client does this the item is copied but the vendor disappears from the 2nd line item and client has to add it again.
So that OSS notes doesn't apply unless I'm missing something.

Assigning a Source of Supply in a Purchase Order....Please Help!!!!

Hello, Forum.
I am a student and my final SAP project is due tomorrow. One of the steps is to create a Purchase Order certain specifications. I have defined the needed purchase requisitions for the Purchase order, but I am having a problem Assigning A Source of Supply to my items. When I select the items and click the "Assign Source of Supply" Icon I get the error message that "Existing Sources Will be Lost." I have tried many different ways to assign sources of supply to these items and the option is either grayed out, gets, this error message, or simply nothing happens.
I cannot advance in my project without first completing this step and it is a huge portion of my grade. This is of utmost importance to me so if anyone can help me figure out how to bypass this problem and Assign Sources of Supply, or even what this error message means, you would really be doing me a great service.
Thank you so much,
John

Hi John,
I cannot test it now, but seems to me that the transaction me21n is not designed to run source
determination unless the purchase order is created in reference to apurchase requisition
( where source determination can be run ).
If a PO is directly created without reference to a requisition, the outline agreements specified in the source list have to be manually entered in the PO ( even if there is only one agreement ), otherwise the error message is issued...
Could you please check it
Regards,
Mauro
