GOA versus Contract on SRM

Hi All,
We are on SRM 5.0 Server 5.5 and 2 back-ends systems: 4.6c and 4.7
According to our scenario we have following situation basing on categories
1) GOA created on SRM and replication after approval to back-ends: no Shopping cart will be created in SRM for these categories.
2) GOA created on SRM and approval + Shopping Cart created with reference to GOA always on SRM. GOA should also be replicated to back-end.
According to the above scenario we have some questions:
a) Is it possible to use the Global outline agreement as a source for making on SRM shopping cart? Looking to SAP documentation seems that the GOA cannot be used as source document for Purchase order creation...
b) If GOA is not suitable which contract should we use: local contract? Is it possible to replicated local contract to the back-end? Can you advice some BAdI to do it?
Thanks in advance
#Bill J.

Hi Bill,
In extended Classic Scenario you can create GOA and replicate them in the back end but you cannot use them as source a source.
Otherwise you can use local contract as a source but you can not replicate them in the back-end system.
Check Badi
BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE
BBP_CTR_INIT_UP
BBP_CTR_MAIL_BADI
BBP_CTR_MASS_BADI
Hope it helps
Best regards

Distributing Central Contract from SRM to ECC

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 in backend (no EHP). We're setting up a central contract with IDOCs. From what I read we have made the configuration:
in SRM:
- Assign attribute CT_PROC_TY = CCTR
- Connfigure new condition type PB00 which is the same with ECC price for contract
- activate the BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS and coding it so for contract it will always go to backend (in method CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE)
- I have activated BADI BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE but writing no code, as there no need for me to do mapping
in ECC:
- Activate inbound IDOC type BLAORD and COND_A and assign it to the logical system of SRM
Then I create the contract in SRM. but:
1. When creating contract, in item overview, i cannot tick 'distribution' indicator. Not sure what is the function
2. In item detail, tab distribution, I cannot put create release-purchasing org. Even when using search help it is not giving any value
Actually dont really understand the usefull of the indicator above, so I let it be empty, then I release the contract
The contract then not appear in ECC. I have checked SMQ1/SMQ2 nothing. Even in WE05 in ECC nothing. The only thing I see is in SLG1 where I see error triggered by user WF-BATCH with message "No recipient found"
Do i miss something in here? Any help will be very appreciated.

Hi Josh,
Central contract is only possible in SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 EHP 4. You can use local contracts or GOA.

How can I transfer contract in SRM to ECC?

Hi Experts,
How can I transfer contract in SRm to ECC, and then we can do subsequent process, such as PO reference contract.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!

Hi Jock,
Are you trying to transfer local SRM contract to ECC system?.
GOA can distribute to backend system as a process contracts and scheduling agreement right?
local process contract only for SRM system right ? you can not push local contract to backend .
However you can bring backend ECC contract to SRM .
what is your business requirement ? which version are you working on?
since SRM2007 purhase contracts and GOA 's are merged to form a single central contract which is available for sourcing localy in srm and can also be distributed to different backend ECC systems.

GOA as contract and schedul agrem

Hi esperts
I am in SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.7, I need to distribute GOA as contract and schedul agreement, so I have created in SRM 2 types of GOA ZMK and ZLP and created in backend the same document types ZLP for schedul agreement and ZMK to contract, IIf I create a GOA ZMK or ZLP in SRM and try to distribute I have an error ERROR DEFINING DOCUMENT TYPE IN BACKEND, but no IDOC is created.
I have done a text with document type GCTR in SRM and backend and if I create a GOA type GCTR and choose in DISTRIBUTION tab SCHED AGREEM, IDOCS are created in R/3 but if I choose CONTRACT I have the same error ERROR DEFINING DOCUMENT TYPE IN BACKEND.
Any help will be welcome.
Thanks
Nilson

Hi Sushil Kumar
It's not my case.
I have created 3 document typesin SRM and R/3.
ZLP in SRM and R/3
ZWK in SRM and R/3
ZMK in SRM and R/3
When I create a GOA in SRM with type ZLP and set Sched Agreem in distribution tab the IDOS are created in R/3.
When I create a a GOA IN SRM with type ZWK and set Contract in distribution tab I have the error ERROR DETERMINING DOCUMENT TYPE
Why the erro occur only with Contract and no with schedul agreement?
Thanks
Nilson

Upload ECC Contracts to SRM

Hi Experts ,
Can anyone please confirm me, exactly in which situation , we upload ECC Contracts to SRM..by report BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD ?
We are deploying Classic scenario with ECC6 (EHP4) with SRM7.0.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
NAP

Initial Upload of Central Contracts and Scheduling Agreements from SAP ERP to SAP SRM. This is just help aid report
You can use program BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD to upload contracts and scheduling agreements from an SAP ERP system to an SAP SRM system. Depending on the settings you make, contracts and scheduling agreements are then uploaded from the SAP ERP system to the SAP SRM system as a central contract. Generally, this initial upload is a one-time activity performed at the time of installation in the SAP SRM back-end system. For more information, see the program documentation.
Situation could be Some backend contracts wanted to use in Extended classic scenario . so Manual effort is reduced to create a Local contract. so that SAP gave option to reutilise the contract rather than creating from scratch.
After you transfer a contract from backend to SRM , you must make them inactive other wise this contract will be active at both systems.
now SAP recently developed some migration reports to convert GOA into CCTR .
If you are upgrading from an earlier release of SRM / support package of ERP and you are already using SRM Globals Outline Agreements (GOAs) as source of supply in ERP you need to convert the replicated GOAs in ERP to replicated Central Contracts. Please refer to the program documentation of report MMBSI_CONTRACT_MIGRATION. For converting the GOAs created the lower releases in SRM to Central Contract in SRM 7.0 system please use the report /SAPSRM/MIGRATE_GOA_TO_CC. These reports have to be executed saperately in both the systems. The preferred sequence would be to run the migration report in SRM first to convert GOA to CC and then run the migration report in ERP. Running the report in ERP presupposes that the system connectivity regardings SOA services between ERP and SRM has been set up completely.

Error in Releasing Contracts in SRM-Error Log for user WF-BATCH

Hi,
When we are releasing contracts in SRM, an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message :
"Recipient not found
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 4530EA86C23B007700000000B0000023 and object_id= 4400000238"(Where 4400000238 is our contract no)
Also our contract is not being transported to CCM even though all the relevant configurations have been done in XI.
Is this because of the error log?? What is the issue??
Any Useful answers would be suitably rewarded..
Regards,
Puneet

Hello Puneet,
Please check whether u have released that contract or not.
if u need to release purchase order from the contract, it needs to be released first.
from ur problme statement, it seems u haven't released that contract.

Creation of backend contract from SRM system?

Dear Experts,
I am bit confused with the scenario of creation of backend contract from SAP SRM system? It says in few cases, based on the BAdi 'BBP_DETERMINE_Logsys', the system creates a backned contract directly in a backend ERP system. Why do we need when we have central contract?
We can meet the same requirement through central contract where we will authorize only purchasing organizations of a backend system and block the contract for local sourcing in SRM?
Secondly, How to find a contract / scheduling agreement created in a backend system when a central contract is distributed to the backend system?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hello Ranjan
question on contracts?
Note 1476307 - Importing parameter not filled in BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS
in classic scenario , The Business wanted to create a contract from cockpit or via BID
this BADI helps
Symptom
You have implemented BAdi BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS to control the system in which contract is created in following scenarios:
1. Creation of contract from an accepted quote / bid.
2. Creation of contract from a requisition in SOCO.
In the method IF_EX_BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS~CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE of the BAdi implementation, importing parameter IT_ORG doesnot have any values.
Other terms
Backend contract
Reason and Prerequisites
some business wants to create a backend contract from SRM . see some Dinesh Powale / Claude threads for more understanding.

Contract from srm to SAP R/3

I made a account assigned pr(with cost centre) in SAP R/3, then i transferred it to SRM, and made a bid in SRM, after all I selected one bid and triggered a contract in SRM so that contract gets made in SAP r/3.
Now the contract automatically picks account assignment as "U" while account assignment is mandatory for that material so it does not make a contract and gives error that account assignemnt mandatory for that material.
Basically account assignemnt data is not being picked up when i transfer pr feom R/3 to SRM.
So when I make a contract it also does not get transferred from SRM to R/3.
Pls. help and guide.
Thanks

Hi Nacho.
Sorry the bad news, but account is not transfers from SRM to ECC or from ECC to SRM in contracts.
The Contracts goes between systems via IDOCs (BLAREL)
As you can see in transaction WE60, IDOC BLAREL02 has not account data.

HI
Need to do following
1. Keep conidtion types in ECC & SRM same for contract.
2. Also Add message types BLAORD & COND_A manually in ECC in WE20.
Then only it works

SRM MDM Catalog - Transfer Contracts from SRM - XI - MDM

Hi,
We are implementing SRM MDM Catalog1.0 with SRM 5.0 & ECC 6.0.
We have already configured XI content for MDM Catalog.
We have also done the basic settings for transferring contracts from srm to XI (including Backend System & Check box in Contracts for transfer to catalog).
But when i run the report SRMMDM_CTR_TRANSFER, the log tells me that contracts transfer has been initialized, but I cant see any XML message in SXMB_MONI
Can someone pls help and tell me why is that happening??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jasmeet

Hi Mausam,
yes we have a SRM system from which we want are going to be sending Contracts, Prod Id's, Product Categories, Suppliers List etc from SRM to MDM using XI.
We have the Pre delivered content for XI from which we have set up the Interfaces etc.
This mapping between SRM-XI-MDM works pretty fine if i try to send Products or suppliers from SRM. I can see the IDOCs being generated. But when i run the report for Contracts, I cant see any IDOC in SXMB_MONI in SRM which is my source system.
So hence my question..... Is there some other way by which Contracts are transferred and if so then how and where can I see it.
Regards,
Jasmeet

Passing custom field in contract in SRM to contract in ECC

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6 (no EHP). We're planning to use central contract distributed with IDOCs. Our contract in ECC has custom field added in the header. We have tried and successfully pass the contract from SRM to ECC (using IDOC BLAORD03 and COND_A).
I know we can create custom field in contract in SRM, but how to pass the value in the custom field in SRM contract to custom field in ECC contract? Do we need to edit IDOC BLAORD03? Is it possible?
Best regards,
Yosea

Hi,
Does anyone know the answer?

Upload Contracts in SRM

Hi Guys,
When trying to upload the contracts data in SRM using the following process.
1. Contract Management -- > Upload contracts -- > Upload
We are inputting the file from the existing contract using the download option. After doing this i am facing an error called,
The file cannot be read.
Please help me in this issue. And please proved any file templete for it. Or do i need to modify the download flat file as it already contains the Document number and the GUI id.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohit.

Hi Mohit,
If you want to upload R/3 contracts to SRM you can run the below mentioned report using SA38 and can upload the contracts in SRM.
<b>BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD</b>
However any changes made in the contracts in R/3 after the upload will not get updated in SRM.
The otherway is to publish contracts as catalogs using XI.
Hope this resolves your query. Clarifications are welcome.
Assign points for suitable answers.
Rgds,
Teja
