RFI, RFQ and RFI Process in SAP Bidding Engine

Hi All,
can anyone help me with the following from an SAP point of view, I know how the business process works for each
1. How does the RFI scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
2. How does the RFP scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
3. Does the cFolders collabortation allow back and forth processing between supplier and purchasing team to enable the supplier to post questions that need answering as part of an RFP process?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
1. How does the RFI scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
In SRM, you can use the same bid invitations for RFI and RFQ. The process is same. Price can be kept optional in RFI. In the first round of bidding i.e. RFI, yuo can specify dynamic attributes and weighting feature to gather the information from bidders and evaluate respnses.
For accepted bidders from the first round, you can create a follow-on bid invitation for RFQ. Here you can track the history of preceding documents.
The other way is to create two different transaction types for RFI and RFQ. Ensure that you select "No price" option for Indicator: "Detailed Price Info to be Entered in Bid" in the transaction type definitation.
2. How does the RFP scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
Pls follow below URL for more details on biding process:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/61/c3833cfa3dbc2ce10000000a114027/frameset.htm
3. Does the cFolders collabortation allow back and forth processing between supplier and purchasing team to enable the supplier to post questions that need answering as part of an RFP process?
Yes. It does allow sharing and processing of documents in C-folders during bidding between purchasers and bidders. For scenario details pls follow below link:

ABAP transformation to XML for sap chart engine with internal table

Hello.
I am new to the SAP chart engine, XML and transformations so please be patient with me from an ABAP-program I am trying to call a Z-transformation and attach an internal table with two columns. In the ST program I want to loop through the table and for each row insert the two values from the table in the XML.
In an ABAP-program I have an internal table containing datacoordinates for a scattered chart.
The table looks like this:
DATA: BEGIN OF coordinate,
            x_value TYPE f,
            y_value TYPE f,
           END OF coordinate,
           polygon_data LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF coordinate with header line.
As a prototype I just add a few coordinates like this:
polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '8'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '1400'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '10'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
    polygon_data-x_value = '700'.
    polygon_data-y_value = '3'.
    APPEND polygon_data.
I have created a Z-transformation and I call it like this (I also have a separate transformation for all the customizing generated with SAP chart designer but that one works fine):
DATA: data_xml TYPE xstring.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
      SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data
      RESULT XML data_xml.
Since I am trying to create a scattered chart I need to insert an X and Y value for each coordinate.In the manual SAP Chart engine - XML format description it looks like this:
<ChartData>
<Series>
<Point>
<Value type="x">1</Value>
<Value type="y">1</Value>
</Point>
<Point>
<Value type="x">2</Value>
<Value type="y">2</Value>
</Point>
My ST-program that I cannot get to work looks like below. How can I loop through my internal table and get the X and thy Y value for each row in my internal table?
BR Tommy (Sweden)
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="POLYGON_DATA"/>
<tt:template>
<ChartData>
<Series>
<tt:loop ref=".POLYGON_DATA">
   <Point>
     <Value type="x"><tt:copy ref=".POLYGON_DATA.X_VALUE"/></Value>
     <Value type="y"><tt:copy ref=".POLYGON_DATA.Y_VALUE"/></Value>
   </Point>
   </tt:loop>
</Series>
</ChartData>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>

Hello again.
I found the solution and would like to share it with the forum, maybe it could help someone.
My first error was in the call transformation statement:
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_ce_tables2xml
      SOURCE polygon_data = polygon_data [] <----
Do not forget these
      RESULT XML data_xml.
I also had an error in the ST program, it should look like this:
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="POLYGON_DATA"/>
<tt:template>
<ChartData>
<Series>
<tt:loop ref=".POLYGON_DATA">
   <Point>
     <Value type="x"><tt:value ref="$ref.X_VALUE"/></Value>
     <Value type="y"><tt:value ref="$ref.Y_VALUE"/></Value>
   </Point>
   </tt:loop>
</Series>
</ChartData>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>

Integrating SAP Java Connector with SAP XI

Hi XI experts
We are about to integrate our SAP ERP2004 system with a new WMS system. The vendors of the WMS system normally integrates with ERP directly through SAP Java Connector, but we would like to put SAP XI between the two systems so we have good way of monitoring the messages beeing sent.
I would like to make a synchronous test scenario where we send a ARTMAS idoc from SAP to XI which sends it to the WMS. After WMS system receives the ARTMAS Idoc it sends an acknowledgement back to XI which passes it on to SAP.
The integration would then look like this:
SAP ERP <-> SAP XI <-> WMS (Jco)
Is this scenario possible? And if so, how would you suggest to set it up?
I was thinking of using the RFC adapter to connect to the Java Connector of WMS, but am not sure if this is the right approach or how it should be set up.
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Chris

I have made a setup like this:
SAP <-> XI <-> WMS
The Scenario is like this:
SAP sends an ARTMAS03 idoc to XI which maps it directly to the same ARTMAS03 idoc structure (need a few changes in the future so thats why im not using IDOC tunnelling) then it uses a RFC receiver adapter to connect to our SAP gateway, where the WMS is registrered through JCO.
When I first sent the idoc, i got a "RfcAFWException: failed to read funtionname from XML document: missing namespace declaration(2)" then after reading Q23 in note 730870, I used the RFCNormalizer xslt to change the namespace to a "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:fuctions" instead of the "urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages". The error is now "functiontemplate from repository was <null>".
As far as i can see the error is because the metadata repository defined in the RFC adapter cant find the function module that normally would be in the root of a RFC-XML. But I dont know how I can send an Idoc through the rfc adapter to the gateway then. Anyone got some ideas?
Thanks
Chris

SAP Mobile Engine with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Java Trial Version ?

Hi, I would like to know if I can use the SAP Mobile Engine on the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Java Trial Version that you can download form SDN or in other words if I can configure a test system with the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ABAP SP12 and SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Java Trial Version ?
I figure out that I can Develop some BAPI Wrappers on the ABAP Trial Stack but I can't enter on the SAP Mobile Engine in the JAVA stack, so is there any way ?
Thanks.
Matias.

Integration SAP Media (MSD) with MM in ECC 6.0

Hello
Today in my company we are in SAP R3 4.7 and we have a problem that the module MSD don't have conection with modulo MM, for example, today we can't control the material in MSD.
We will planning upgrade for ECC 6.0 and I want know if the problem will be resolved? Can I integrate MSD whit MM in ECC 6.0?
Thanks.
Marcela

Hi Marcela,
In 4.7 and ECC 6 you can integrate MM with MSD. You can create Media specific materials in MSD and use it for sales order processes. Media Family material type MD01, Media Product - material type MD02 and Media Issue - type MD03. You can create media Family as the higher level component and media product in the next level and media issue as the lowest level in product synchronization. In the media issue or in media product you can add the required views for integration, thru IMG activity.
The transaction codes are:
JP21 - Media Family Creation
JP22 - Change
JP23 - Display
JP24 - Media product creation
JP25 - Change
JP26 - Display
JP27 - Media Issue creation
JP28 - Change
JP29 - Display.
By using JP27 you can create a template issue and generate media issues in mass by using the transaction JPMG0. It will generate the issues based on the frequency and calendar maintained in the media family.

Suresh

Problem during installation of Integration (SAP BO 2007) with CLUSTER

I've a problem during the installation of SAP BO Integration version 2007 SP00 PL15.
The InstallShield Wizard make a test to connection to SQL Server database SBO-COMMON and the test have a negative result:
"Unable to connect to database; verify database server name and that database is started".
I've alredy installed the integration without problem on a normal server, but this problem is on a cluster.
More information of the system are:
- Windows enterprise 2003 SP1 (2 server cluster fail over)
- SQL Server 2005 SP2 (cluster)
It seems that it can't find the SQL on the cluster.
Thanks and help me!

dear Teun,
Is important to know well SQL Server 2005.
Go to Programs->MS SQL Server 2005-> Configuration tools-> SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Into the window, select: SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration -> Protocols for MSSQLSERVER > TCP/IP
Here, you must set the IP address of your server (Ex. 192.168.0.55), not Dynamics Address.
In the "all" instance, specify the Dynamic port 1433.
Now, you can install Integration without problems (is not necessary set the node name in tha installation wizard, because the system is not able to select it)
Regards
Flavio

SAP Bidding Engine. How to cancel/block processes

Hi,
I would appreciate somebody to explain with detail the procedure to cancel/block certain shopping documents during the bidding process.
I am refering to a bidding process when the following documents are related:
1- Shopping basket
2- Auction
3- Supplier offer
4- Order
2 cases:
1- Delete/cancel processes only keepig the Shoping Basket "alive" so it can be re-processed
2- Delete/cancel each document (whole process, 4 documents)
It would be very helpful if anyody could send me any documentation bidding related.
Your quick answer would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Nuria
Edited by: nuria ventura on Jun 7, 2008 4:40 PM

Hi,
You can delete the Published Bid Invitation in the change mode only before the bid end date and time.
Once the end date was reached and the bid was opened then there is no point in deleting the bid and you don't get that option even in the change mode.

ATTACHMENTS in the SAP Bidding Engine SRM 5.0

Hi,
When a purchaser processes a bid invitation he has the menu DOCUMENTS in the header option.
Inside the DOCUMENTS option he can attach documents. When the purchaser attaches a document there are several options activated, some of them are: Check-in, Check-out, Check in New Version, Terminate Check-Out.
As I have seen, check-out is used to save a copy of the attached document and check-in is used to subsitute the content of the attachment.
But can anydody explain the option: TERMINATE CHECK-OUT?
Thanks in advanced,
Mar

Hi Naveen,
Thanks for your message but I still don't understand the when is the button TERMINATE CHECK OUT useful.
As I explained in my previous message I found this button entering to the system as a purchaser. When the purchaser processes a bid invitation he has the menu DOCUMENTS in the header option.
Inside the DOCUMENTS option he can attach documents. When the purchaser attaches a document there are several options activated, some of them are: Check-in, Check-out, Check in New Version, Terminate Check-Out.
As I have seen, check-out is used to save a copy of the attached document and check-in is used to subsitute the content of the attachment.
But when after doing the Check-Out the purchaser presses on Terminate Check out nothing seems to happen.
So, can anydody explain the option: TERMINATE CHECK-OUT?
Thanks in advanced

Supplier Collaboration with SRM Bidding Engine

Hi All,
I'm looking at the SAP BIdding Engine with regards to supplier collaboration in the bidding process, my undertsanding is that SUS can be used for a single point of access for suppliers to submit their bids. I also understand that cFolders can be used to allow true collaboration in the bidding process i.e. review of bid, submit prices etc.
I have four questions around these scenarios
1. For collaboration in the sourcing process which is superior cFolders integration or SUS?
2. What is the advantages of SUS over cFolders in the sourcing process.
3. Could you use both products?
4. Can cFolders be used to pose questions from the supplier? i.e. a true sourcing process would usually be:
RFI > Supplier Info response > RFQ > Supplier pricing response
Cheers
Chris

1. Both has diff purposes. C-folder purpose is information exchange in terms of drgs, attachments, discussion etc.
so kind of technical exchange
whereas SUS forms common window for suppliers for collaberating with buyer co. for BI they can submit the price & conditions.
So kind of commercial exchange.
Superiority depends on the perspective
2. SUS you can use for odercollaberation also
i.e. for PO/SA from MM or EBP ,suppliers can
send responce
send ASN
post confirmation
post invoice
3. Yes

Integrating SAP with Sharepoint 2010

Hello All,
I need some information regarding integrating SAP R/3 with Sharepoint 2010. I am aware of BCS solutions to connect SAP BSP/WebDynpro/Portal enabled processes to Sharepoint. However, I would like to whether we can call an SAP Transaction directly from Sharepoint without developing BSP pages or WebDynpro?
Can we achieve something on Sharepoint 2010 like ITS does on SAP Portal? If yes, how to do that?
Thanks,
Anil

Hi Anil,
with Duet Enterprise you can bring RFC or WebServices that are available in your backend system into SharePoint 2010. So if your transaction consits of several RFCs that are called in the background -- you can do that. Depending on the transaction you might also have to develop the value help functionalities and stuff like that.
You can checkout the videos on the [Duet Enterprise Summit|http://www.duetenterprisesummit.com] site where some customers talk about what they have developed during the ramp-up..
However, if you want to bring ITS / SharePoint Web-SAP-GUI functionality into SharePoint this will be pretty complicated...
Regards,
Holger.

Bidding Engine in Classic Scenario

We are implementing SRM7 with Bidding Engine. According to this forum it is possible now to use Direct Procurement (Plan-Driven Procurement) in both Classic and Extended Classic scenario.
However, according to SAP, Bidding Engine can only be used in Extended Classic scenario - is this correct? Can someone please confirm as we are looking to use a Classic Scenario with Direct Procurement and Bidding Engine. Requirement is to have both Project procurement (requisitions from ERP) and shopping cart in SRM, going to Sourcing (RFQ/Bid), and creating the leading PO in ERP, not SRM.

Hello Monica
Bidding is possible both in Classic and Extended classic deployements
As of SRM7.0, you can directcly route the PRs (projects/MRP) from ECC to create a RFx in Bidding Engine. You will need activate the relevant SOA service and a BADI to be activated.
Following information may helps you
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Implementing BaDI for RFQ Request SUITE Request
In order to use the SOA RFQRequestSUITERequest message, you have to
implement the BaDI named BBP_EBPXML_OUT_BADI. Please create a BaDI
implementation for the interface: REQUESTFORQUOTE with the following
code:
METHOD if_ex_bbp_ebpxml_out_badi~requestforquote.
use SOA system type to get the SOA interface
from bbp_function_map.
cv_system_type = 'ESASAPXML1'.

Bidding process in SRM WITHOUT bidding engine

I need to create a bidding process in SRM. I know it is similar to RFQ. I dont need a live auction scenario where we need a bidding engine.
Is it possible to create a bid invitation, accept bids, compare bids completely in SRM and then accept the best bid and convert into PO or contract WITHOUT a bidding engine. (similar to an RFC-quotation process in R/3). If so can anyone please explain the process.
Regards

If you read the master guide for SRM 5.0 for diff business scenario it will say
SAP® Supplier Relationship Management Server 5.5 (SAP SRM Server 5.5)
(based on SAP® Web Application Server 7.00, comprises SAP® Enterprise Buyer, SAP® Bidding Engine and Supplier Self-Services)
means SRM server is the central componnt which comprises bidding engine also
you don't need any seperate software component (like CCM) for bidding.
It Is possible to create a bid invitation, accept bids, compare bids completely in SRM and then accept the best bid and convert into PO or contract with SRM server.
You need to have correct roles for internal users
purchaser (.... stal_operational_purchaser)
and external users
bidders (... stal_bidder)
what you may need extra is SAP LICENCE for usage of this functionality on PROD system ( not dev)
