Issue in navigating to cfolder from Bid Invitation in the specific instanc.

Hi,
We have an issue in cfolder, when we navigate from Bid Invitation after creation of instance for cfolder through the link in "Document" view..
Instead of opening directly into the specific instance of Bid Invitation in the cfolder, system open ups in u201CHome Menuu201D in the "Competitive "Scenariou201D with all the List of Bid Invitation instance visible in the cfolder.
The user have to search the Bid Invitation Instance in cfolderr to upload the documents. Whereas we require that the system should navigate directly into the Bid Invitation Instance of cfolder.
Kindly help me in resolving the issue, have I missed some config. in the cfolder .
With Regards
Manoj

There are a couple of things you should change.
First of all, you do not need a Proxy Service with Email transport. A Proxy Service with email transport is created to receive an email from a SMTP server, which is why it is one way only (you wont be sending a message response to SMTP server for an email received from it).
Your requirement is to send out an email from OSB, you will only need a Business Service with email transport for that.
You can call this business service from your main proxy using a Publish Action and set the subject field by adding Transport Headers in the Publish Action.
Main Proxy-->Email BS
If however, you want to have a common proxy in between to set the subject(may be so you can have that logic at one place and call it from multiple proxy services?), then you can create a Proxy Service with LOCAL transport. In this proxy service invoke the Email Business Service using a Publish Action and set the subject field by adding transport header. You can invoke this local proxy from your main proxy.
Main Proxy-->Local Common Proxy-->Email BS

Fill the custom fields of backend PO from bid invitation

Hi all,
From bid invitation I am generating a purchase order. A PO is getting created in the backend. But when I save the PO in the backend it gives an error because a custom field (created in both backend PO and bid invitation) is mandatory for creating a PO is not filled. I have to map the Z field created in bid invitation to the custom field in backend. But in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK there is no information regarding the quotation or bid invitation. Is there any way to get the bid or bid invitation details like bid guid or bid invitation guid or any other field which related the PO to bid in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK?

Asha

Standard process for PO creation from Bid Invitation or Bid

Hi everybody,
I would like to know what is the standard process to create local Purchase Order (i mean in a extended classic scenario) from Bid Invitation or Quotation.
In the current process, Bid Invitation are created form Shopping Cart using Sourcing Cockpit. Then, Purchaser will send its Bid to supplier (by publishing Bid Invitation) using BBP_BID_INV transaction.
Then, supplier will submit its Bid.
At this step, what it is the standard process (does it exist ?) to create a Purchase Order linked to this Bid ?
The need is to have a PO as follow-on document to Bid.
Thank you to clarify this point.
Regards.
Laurent Burtaire.

Hi,
After the bids are submitted and when the bid invitation opening date arrives, there will be a map for you to compare the bids received.
To see this map, go to BBP_BID_INV transaction and the map will be there when you search your document.
When you click on this map, you will find one column for each of the companies that sent quotations.
You can click on the company's name and then you need to click on button 'Accept', in order to accept the company's quotation.
Then you click on 'Refresh'.
Then you click on 'Create Purchase Order' or 'Create Contract'.
In order for that to happen, you must have defined number ranges and document types for bid invitation, quotation and purchase order.
Let me know if it helped.
Regards,
Henrique

To be able to create a live auction from Bid invitation ,
you should first have a LAC 2.0 installed on your server.
Also, a RCF connection should be maintained between this component and EBP system with type HTTP Ext.

PO from Bid Invitation Contains Faulty account assignment

Hi All-
We are working on SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario SP6. Currently we are facing the following issue:
Process Steps:
1.) Create a Shopping cart with one line item and account assignment.
2.) Shopping cart goes to the sourcing cockpit
3.) The Buyer adds a new Line item to the Bid Invitation and publishes it
4.) Vendor Quotation comes in and Buyer Accepts it
5.) Buyer tries to create a PO out of the accepted Bid.
6.) PO Checked - No Error Found and the PO is ordered.
7.) In the PO transfer to R/3, the following errors occur
a.) " Purchase Order Item 0002 still contains fault ac assignments"
b.) " Purchase Order 820000XX : Enter Commodity Code"
These Errors can be found in RZ20 as a backend application error in the Purchase Order section.
Has anyone faced a similar problem, if yes, do you know what the fix or OSS Note is? Or is there something that i am missing?
Please throw some light !
Thanks,
Sundeep

Generate PO from Bid Invitation

Hi Team,
After receiving and Accepting Bid, I click on Generate PO. This will automatically generates the PO and a PO output will be created.
Here is the question: I do not want the PO to be automatically generated. After the Generate PO button is clicked, I want the PO to be in a Hold state in either BI or in Process PO.
How to accomplish this?
Thanks

Hi Anita,
This might be possible only for local PO via BADI. When a PO is created from a quote, it calls the same flow(Similar kind of classes which gets called from BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER) as we create from SC.
CL_BBP_SC_TRANSFER has the subclass related to sourcing which gets called. It calls create_local_po method. You can check the badis available(should be BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI~BBP_PO_CHANGE) deep inside which gets called in this flow.
Ideally, in SRM POs are created in held status if one of the mandatory criteria like vendor etc is missing. May be you manipulate the same in the BBP_PO_CHANGE method of BBP_DOC_CHANGE badi.
thanks,
Ashwin

Send e-mail to Vendors when Close Bid Invitation

I have a issue with SRM.
In Process BID Invitation, when the Bid is close by the button action "Close", Is possible to send an e-mail to the selected vendors, advising them about the closure of the BID invitation? Can I do this thru any BADI or another solution?
I think that in Auction, when I CLOSE them, an email is send to the vendors. Am I correct about this?
Can anyone please tell me how I can solve this problem?
This problem can be the Configuration? Is a SRM Problem or ABAP Problem?
Modaration Please, if this question is an incorrect forum, check and move to the appropriate.

Bid Invitation and Bid Links From cFolders to SRM

Hello Guys:
Currently I have configured the SRM and cFolder integration and everything is working fine, the exception are the links that are automatically generated by the system to go from the collaboration room back to the SRM system.
1.- If I click the Bid Invitation link (the one on the upper left corner) the link that is generated has this format:
http://<Host Name>:<Port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/bbpstart?BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=49A9E5D51768482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
I Think this link is correct, but the new window opens SRM in the bbpstart transaction instead of the Bid Invitation the link is referring to.
2.- When a Bidder creates a Bid in SRM and creates its corresponding Bid in cFolders, the system creates a link automatically a link in cFolders to the Bid in SRM. the link has the following value:
BBP_CFOLDER/!?GV_DISPLAY_GUID=499CE2E1526D482AE1000000C0A84F11&sap-client=100
But when I try to open the link I receive a "Error Business Server Page (BSP)" Error in a new window. I tried to look for DUMPS but nothing is generated in SRM.
The SRM and the cFolders are on the same instance.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem??
Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

Transfering several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid invitation

Good morning,
We are using Plan driven procurement and bidding with Extended classic
scenario (SRM 5.0).
Indicator IMG sourcing is
"Sourcing via automatic bid invitation for items without a source of
supply"
Is it possible to transfer several PR's from R3 to one SRM bid
invitation?
Thanks in advance.
Alexey

Thanks, i think it is possible whis IMG sourcing indicator:
"Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply"
If a source of supply is not assigned, the report Automatic Grouping of Requirements for POs and Bid Invitations automatically attempts to create a bid invitation from several requirement items. If is unable to do so, this is recorded in the error log of the report.

Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequ

Hi everybody
"Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequuences"
When I create a bid invitation from a previous template, from the template search results (Icon_create SAPLBBP_BID_INV 1010) my bid is published but then stay in the model search and the status is wating for approval. But no workflow started in BBP_PD.
If I use the same template for creating a new bid from the detail using the create bid invitation button, the bid invitation is created correctly.
I have configured the two events for the BUS2200 object and both of them have an initial condition.
It seems that the two actions trigger different events or something like that
Does anybody why it is occurring this and how I could link the workflow without approval for this case.
Thanks

Bidder Not able to filter Bid Invitations with custom fields

Dear Community,
Need some ABAP help.
Know many experts are in our community.
We have added 3 custom fields to the Bid Invitation and Bid header
Coded Badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2 for them to appear in the Search criteria for Find Bid Invitation for both the logins(purchaser and bidder).
The custom fields now appear in the Extended search for both.
These custom fields extract values from custom tables.
But we found that the search criteria seems to be filtering Bid Invitations only in the Process Bid Invitation screen(Find Bid Invitation) of the purchaser login.
Template: bbp_bid_inv/99/saplbbp_bid_inv_1010.html
And NOT filtering Bid Invitations in the Process Bid screen(Find Bid Invitations and Auctions) of the Bidder login.
bbp_quot/99/saplbbp_quot_ui_its_1010.html
The ABAPer has already incuded the custom fields in structures INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID and INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_QUOT,
What is required in addition so that the search criteria will work in the Bidder login as well??
Thanks in Advance,
Dinesh
(Will appreciate with points)

Thanks, Disha.
We have alreday activated BBP_WF_LIST
and tried some code in method
BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO
but did not help us.
Can you suggest any specific code to try?
You are right for template modification for values of this custom fields.
If we do that Bidder CAN filter the BI correctly with these values of custom fields.
But customer does not want that way because in future the values would be changing.
and so it would be an additional task to correct templates.
Also they have to redo these changes with every upgrade.
So we are fetching the values from custom tables for these custom fields.
Would like to again draw the attention towards purchaser's search with these custom fields.
Why purchaser can search correctly with these custom fields fetching values from custom tables?
Can we debug or take any hint from there?
Any futher thoughts?
