Benefits of implementing Central Contracts in SRM 7.

Dear Experts,
Picture the following:
- Classic Scenario.
- One ECC 6 EHP 4 Back end.
I'm currently exploring the benefits of implementing Central Contracts against using only Purchasing Contracts in ECC and replicating them to SRM for use in the Shopping Carts.
So my question is why would you implement central contracts in SRM instead of just replicating these contracts from ECC? What benefits would you get out of having central contracts in place against having only Purchasing Contracts in ECC?
Thanks for your input.

adding to Manju one point .
- Procurement department(PURCHASER) can use web interface to create / manage contracts rather GUI interface and quick contract creation / maintenance
- Approval mechanism simplified with less efforts.
- Different ways to create a contract from SRM
Copy an existing contract
Use an existing template
Upload an external file
Upload a contract from the catalog

1.You can use this business process to access SAP SRM contract features, such as contract hierarchies, discount across contract hierarchies, and grouping logic, when determining source of supply in SAP ERP.
2.You can create a central contract in SAP SRM, and it can then be used as source of supply in both SAP SRM and SAP ERP. Relevant data is sent to SAP ERP for a source of supply determination, and a specific type of contract or scheduling agreement can be created there.
3.While determining a source of supply, you can access central contracts directly.
4.The price is determined in SAP SRM before the SAP ERP purchase order (PO) is sent to the supplier.
5.You can create and change central contracts and renegotiate existing contracts directly with a supplier, or through the creation of an RFx. You can automatically assign a contract as a source of supply, or it can be listed as one of numerous potential source of supply contracts. A strategic purchaser can create a contract whenever they anticipate a long-term relationship with a supplier.
6.Contract management enables purchasers from various parts of the company at different locations to take advantage of the terms of globally-negotiated contracts for specific product categories. You can provide users with specific levels of authorization to contracts, and you can categorize documents as confidential.
6.You can distribute central contracts to release-authorized purchasing organizations, and these organizations can then use them as source of supply in the appropriate SAP ERP system. Hierarchies can be used to organize, structure, display, and search for contracts.
7.If you use SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP BI), you can view various consolidated reports of contract management. For example, you can view aggregated value released against all contracts in a contract hierarchy.

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.

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

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.
Josh

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