IProcurement - "mass upload" for non-catalog request

I want to find a way to do a "mass upload" when creating a non-catalog request.
Some back ground; I am not A DBA or a software developer; I am an engineering manager. I work for a large company and have responsibilities for creating Purchase Requisitions. I work from vendor quotes that contain many lines items, and always do non-catalog request because I often get special pricing or simply have non-catalog items. There are several fields on the requisition web page that need to be populated and it's quite cumbersome and time consuming to copy and paste 6 different data fields for 50+ line items. Since these are fields on a web page that correlate to some back end database there must be a way to populate them more quickly and easily, with an upload template, or via an API.
It is very, very difficult to find the proper internal resources to help me address this problem, and when I do find the right people I'm pretty sure I'll be told "it can't be done" I don't believe it can't be done. It may be difficult, it may require some work, it may require some development efforts, but from a purely technical point of view, populating multiple data fields with minimal user input is certainly doable. I want to be armed with solutions when I finally find the right people at my company. So, anybody out there figure this one out already? Once I do I'll be glad to share but hoping it's a know and fixed issue.
Thanks!!

You are looking for the requisitions Open Interface.
Get this PDF from the documentation for release 11* and read chapter 6, it will guide you through the import process.
*For some reason this document is not available for newer releases (11i, 12), so you would rely on Metalink to look for notes.

Exchange Rate Date is not Upating for non-catalog request types in iProc

Hi,
The Exchnge rate date is not updating for some non-catalog request types in iprocurement (11.5.10.2 version) and this happening only for some request types only.
can any one help what could be the reason.

Hi Venkat
i suggest you to go thru the dev guide ..... but to answer your question i would say....
**** It looks like "Define Information Template" form only accepts Independent Value Sets and not table based Value Sets (thatinvolve SQL statements).
Well in OAF to display a dropdown list all you need is a query .. so one can write a query to extract the values from a independent value set .... but the same is not possible with table type value set instead you can use the same query used to define the table type value set .
You can create a LOV (one with flash light) even with a independent value set ....
To create a LOV you need a View Object(query which will fetch valid records) and a Public Region (to display)
if you ahve these then you can achive the requirement thru personalization
if the VO and Region are not present then you have to create them .......
Once you are thru the dev guide please go thru the link below which shows adding a lov to an existing page thru personalization....

IProcurement Non Catalog Request Type Field

Greetings to All,
Currently, having an issue in iProcurement. Under Shop-Non Catalog Request, there is an option to have "Request Type" field to be available.
This field and LOV is not showing up.
Per iProcurement Implementation Guide Release 11i Part No. A85361-05 December 2004
Specifically:
Section 4-52
Page 158
This is section describing "Setting Up Non-Catalog Request Templates"
There is a 'Request Type' dropdown at the top of the page, just above 'Item Type'
Request Type is not coming about.
Is there a smart form setup / preference or a Profile Option value that controls this feature.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are right Mr. CK..
If you check stores --> Smart Form --> Personalize "Default Item Information", you will find ${oa.NonCatalogRequestVO.IsTemplateBased} inside the personlization form.. It indicates "Request Type" is dependant on a template i.e. non-catalog request template.
Thanks for your answer.. Indeed it is helpful.

There is no item number field available in non catalog request screen

Hi,
I need help in understanding how the Contract purchase agreement works with i-procurement.
1. created contract purchase agreement
2. Setup the item
3. Setup the price list for the item
4. Setup the ASL for the item and referenced the CPA number in source document region.
5. Created Sourcing rule for the item.
I have no issues in defaulting sourcing information (supplier name, site name, source document number) when creating a requisition in core apps forms but how to setup the same feature in i-procurement? I selected non catalog request type but I don't see item number field available.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
First we need to know which version you are in - 11i or R12.
Also, non-catalog request is not used for the requisitions with Inventory Item.
Just search for the Item number or description in the iProcurement and see whether the search result shows your item.
Internal Item number field will show the Oracle Item number.
Thanks,
PS.

PO Partial confirmation Quantity not updated for non-catalog items in SRM

Hi Experts,
Partial Confirmation plus Partial Rejection from Ariba(Suppliers network) could not be processed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a purchase order.
2) Confirm some part of the quauntity and reject the balance part in Ariba.
3) Open the link in SRM and click Copy push button.
4) Click on Process PO and check PO, the PO is not updated with the changes done in Ariba
Expected Result:
PO should update the changes done in Ariba.
Here when part quantity is confirmed and part is rejected at Ariba, its sending a POR but SRM is not updating anything for non-catalog items when POR is copied onto PO.But where as in the Catalog items partially confirmed POR is copied onto PO.
kindly give your valuable inputs to poceed furthur.

Hi,
I'm not clear you issue. Is it SC -> PR(backend) -> PO(backend) classic scenario ? or You just created a PO in backend system?
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 will update SC follow-on doc information from backend.

ISA Server 2006 + Average response time for Non Cached requests = performance issues?!?!?!

All,
I am in a predicament with internet browsing speeds...We have a 3rd party look after our line and internet facing f/w so I cant troubleshoot them, so at the moment Im looking at ISA as the potential bottleneck - we have a fairly standard environment:
Internal > Local Host > Perimiter n/work > Firewall > Internet
I have been running custom reports on the ISA server to see what data can be collected - I have noticed that "Average response time for non cached requests" (traffic by time of day) can be as high as 76 seconds!!!!!! Cached hits are between .5
and 2 seconds.
I have also coonfigured a connectivity verifier which is also flagging slow connectivity, massively over the >5000ms and also reporting "cant resolve server name on occassions- and this is configured for
www.Microsoft.com --- DNS ???!?!, however I have looked through DNS (no obvious errors / config issues) which I can see
I have run the BPA on ISA server to ensure its Health - - connectivity verifier errors flagged timeouts to microsoft.com as expected...
Can anyone advise any obvious areas to investigate as Im struggling! - as always the 3rd party have told us the internet pipe is fine :O

Problem resolved.
DNS forwarders have been changed on the ISA server / DNS and this has improved lookup speed considerably.
thanks all :)

Defaulting Suggested Buyer on Non-Catalog request

I'd like to know how I can default the suggested buyer (line delivery details) for non-catalog items. These items are not associated with a requisition template, are not in inventory, and we do not want to key off of categories. We would like the default buyer to always default to the same one user.
I attempted to personalize the page by adding the default user name into the initial value of "Message Lov Input: Suggested Buyer", but that does not seem to be working. I was hoping that would override al logic in the system and force her name.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne
<P>

Manual created PO not showing up in the shopping cart for non-catalog scena

In non-catalog scenario within SRM, the shopping cart shows the purchase requisition and not the manual created PO after
running the program BBP_GET_STATUS_2. Do I need to run the program CLEAN_REQREQ_UP to retrieve the manual created PO on ECC 6.0 after BBP_GET_STATUS_2? What is the selection criteria for both of these programs?
Thanks
Chris Htizke

Hi,
I'm not clear you issue. Is it SC -> PR(backend) -> PO(backend) classic scenario ? or You just created a PO in backend system?
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 will update SC follow-on doc information from backend.

IP - Fox Code - Planning Function -How to do a mass upload for filters ?

Hello Guys,
I have a question regarding executing a planning function.
I have a planning function with filters
Profit center
Sales Order no
Line Item No
Fiscal Period/Year
From Indicator
To Indicator
This planning function is ideally used to change few records where the user enter a sales order no and line item no, profit center and all above parameters. It works fine.
But one user has a requirement where he has to do a mass update. I have to do it in batch or mass update for example about 100 line items
Sales Order   Line Item
100                 10
100                 20
200                10
300                30
300                40
plus the profit center , from indicator and to indicator.It will be very tedious for the user to enter the values and it can't work . because it will take more time time to execute the planning function for each sales order and line item.
How to create the filter for above values. I will be getting a excel spreadsheet. I can ask the user to give in the above format like
sales order, line item, profit center, from indicator, to indicator,Fiscalyear/period.
Then I have to upload the excel spreadsheet to create the filter values and then execute the planning function.
We are using the Integrated Planning tool and planning function is in fox code.
Can you guys throw some pointers how to achieve the above solution.Thanks
Senthil

Hello Senthil,
There is a standard functionality of file upload ,which can be used in your scenario.
You can give the hyperlink directly to user either in WAD or excel where in that link user can select the varaible values for profit center ,sales order no etc for upload and at the back of this functionality you will be using the file upload planning function to load the data.
Can check the link below for more details:-

Mass upload for employee photos (IT0002)

Hi I would like to do a mass upload of employee pics to R/3 . I have tried the FM, ARCHIV_CREATE_FILE and it was uploaded successfully but I'm unable to specify the infotype. which for my case I would need it to be in IT0002.
I've tried the BDC program
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/erphcm/add%2bemployee%2bphoto%2bon%2binfotype%2b0002
But the pics are still not appearing.
Anyone has this issue befofe?

yes. I have tried to upload it manually and it is working. But when I run the program it doesn't work. Could it be the path that I need to specify? Because the client uses IXOS software(links with the 4.6c) to upload the pics and doc. I'm not sure is this the reason it is not working.
