Item mapping during SRM Contract Distribution

Hi All,
When I distribute Central Contract from SRM to ECC How do I do product mapping?
Eg - My product ID in SRM and ECC is different and while distributing contract to ECC, I would need to map SRM product to ECC product.
I checked FM BBP_PRODUCT_MAP is for the purpose of product mapping thru SAP Content Integrator.
SAP Content Integrator is a part of MDM where the mappings are maintained.
But in SRM 7.0 the Content integrator FMs like /SAPMCI/GET_CONTENT seems obsolete.
Any idea how the product mappings is achieved in SRM 7.0.
Thanks,
Rohith

Hi Andrew,
What error message are you getting when distributing the contract to ECC?

SRM Contract Distribution Error

Dear All,
Our ERP system 6 EHP 4,And we active the LOG_MM_P2PSE_1,And SRM 7.0,Now we used "Set Up Synchronous Service",Didn't use PI,We according sap notes:1268821 configure the Central Contract Management,Now when we create the Central Contract Management and Distribution it,Then the system have a error "Back-end data could not be read ",Who can help me?

Hi Bill
Note 1268336 - Synchronous peer-to peer Services Configuration

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

SRM MDM Catalog - SRM OCI mapping relevant for Contract Catalogs

Hi,
According to the scenario we would like to implement, the contract items are distibuted to a catalog and later on they are recalled within other contracts. In this case to do OCI mapping in SRM (customizing activity?) is still relevant? Is this activity necessary for all catalogs internal or external?
Is this what is enabling to dispaly the catalog within SRM transaction like Process Contracts for all type of catalogs?
Thank you in advance,
Edited by: Gaia K. on Nov 18, 2008 6:16 PM

Hi,
Thanks for your input,
I did unmapping between OCI fields and MDM fields at OCI Mapping and but i have selected unmapped fields at all Views.
Now when i login and checked at my catalog side, i can able to see the data for that fields, which i have unmapped at OCI Mapping.
My question is :
1) Why this fields are getting values , when i Unmapped at OCI mapping Level?
2) If this fields are getting values at catalog irrespective of mapping/unmapping at OCI Mapping level, then what is the actual use of OCI mapping?
3) where exactly adding of Custom fields at OCI side is helpful?
Your solution will be rewarded in points
Thanks

SRM 7 Contract Distribution not possible in PPS - is it true ?

Hi SRM Gurus,
I gather that the SRM 7.0 Central Contract are not distributed to ECC 6.04 in PPS environment.
( Ours is SRM 7.0 ECC 6.0 Enhp 4 with PI 7.11 on PPS - ECS.)
Correct me if i am wrong.
If so, is there any other way to distribute Central Contract to ECC . Even it its partial distribution.
Thogh, I hv config for CCTR following the SNote 1268821. To start the problem, the Distribution button on the header of the contract is disabled. CCTR tran type configured both in SRM and ECC.
Kindly share your thoughts.

Hello,
You can try reverting the note 1354971, to get an assign distribution button active at item level.
Interfaces(XML) which are used to transfered the central contract are not extended to all the fields related to PPS functionality. Eg. Guaranteed Minimum.
These fields will not be transfered to backend and other process like release value updation to the backend contract has limitation as PPS funcalities can be used only in extended classic scenario.
So we have a limitation and also this functionality will not be supported in PPS.
Nevertheless, you can enable this funcationality and use with the limitation.
You will have to handle this through custom meta data handle where you need to create dynamic class and method and maitain in the customizing table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HC. You can enable the Assign distribution button and link in the dynamic class.
You can check the configuration in the standard meta table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HD for reference.

Re: SRM 7 Contract Distribution not possible in PPS

Central Contract Distribution - line items creates many contract in the BE

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are in SRM 7 ECC 6 Ehp 4 PPS. Ext Classic.
First of all, CCTR - Central Contract can't be distributed as per SAP for PPS impl.
But we have a workaround.
We made snote 1354971 read with 1423994 implemented. Made the process work.
Means Assign distribution on the item level was enabled and Distribution reached BE.
But when we have multiple line items in the Central Contract, and we assign distribution, it creates one contract per line item in the Backend which is really absurd. Which means if you have 100 line items, its creating 100 contracts. When we do the call-off against this central contract, we have multiple contracts.
Gurus, Can you guys throw some light on this entire issue.
with regards,
Freemind

We are having nearly exactly your scenario and CCTR works fine with 1 distributed contract containing multiple items. Check if all the items are distributed to the same purchasing org and location. If all is the same, debug BBP_PD_CTR_TRANSFER with your SRM contract GUID to see when and how multiple contracts get created in ECC.

Warning on Item price during contract and PO creation

Hi Experts,
When I create a contract, I put a material with mat. code and expect the system takes the standard price in the accounting tab of the material master.
1/ Is there a way the system picks up the price auto. from the material master ?
i.e. syst. warning during contract creation when I put the mat. code : +Effective price is 0.00, material price is 10.00 +
I do not understand why the syst. gives me this message (I have a standard price of 100 in MM and I put a net price of 100 during contract creation)
2/ During PO creation, the syst. picks up the item price from the contract but I receive this message :
Effective price is 100.00, material price is 10.00
Again, I do not understand how the syst. indicates the mat. price at 10 (while I put 100 in MM and 100 in contract item level).
Could anyone helps on this topic?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Any inputs will be much appreciated. Thanks

SRM 7.0 Central Contract- Distribution to backend failure

Hello experts,
We are implementing SRM 7.0 Central contracts scenario with PI.
The Contracts get created and Released but the problem is that the Distribution to backend fails. The Status in BBP_PD shows 'Distribution Incorrect' and the RZ20 gives an error 'Backend data cannot be read'.
We checked all the configuration settings (including the PI settings) and everything seems to be in order.
Would appreciate if someone could throw some light on the potential cause of the problem.
Thanks
Raman.

Message must have created . check all SRM outbound transactions .but PI could not catch them.
Note 1284369 - User attributes check in Contract distribution via services - what is your SP level in SRM 700.
The sap stratergy in earlier version
table in ECC BBPD_CTR_IDOCREF with message 019-This will result in setting the GOA status to 'Distribution Incorrect'.
so SAP might have tried the same way in CCTR as well, Once message are created and this message number like IDOC number updated in ECC table for the further refrence .so like wise SRM trying to communicate the same to ECC but it would have failed.
do you remeber when GOA idoc fails this table we will have reference number and reprocessing idoc.
like any reference of your input must register in one ECC table but there may have this table or some other reference table.

Hi experts,
image the folowing situation:

SAP SRM Contracts Vs SAP CLM Contract

Hi SAP Gurus,
Can you guys please tell me the difference between SAP SRM Contracts and SAP CLM Contracts.
In which factors SAP CLM serves better than SAP SRM??
Why SAP CLM came into existence when we have SRM Contracts? What are the draw back and what is not achieved with SRM Contracts?
Thanks in Advance

Hello Sanjay
There are many differences, SAP CLM Contract run in Sourcing and SAP SRM Contracts run in SRM.
Advantages CLM Contracts:
- Establish a contract as a result of a project
- build the draft agreement from a template
-   - Create your own folder structure to organize your contract attachments
    - Transfer quickly attachments between the different folders
-   - Download easily multiple attachments with a single click
- Administrator can create new customer fields (extensions) and customer tables (extension collections) for all      master agreements or specific master agreements
     - New customer fields are immediately available in the UI and as a search parameters
      - All is done via configuration, therefore no upgrade issues
     - Generation of contract document out of master agreement
     - Template Library with approved legal contract templates for quick contract generation
     - Possibility to provide end user with flexibility to modify the provided content from the template during contract creation
      - Adjust contract by adding or removing of clauses and sections to the content provided by the selected contract template
      - Multiple content options (alternative clause content) available to provide end user with controlled flexibility
      - Automated transfer of master agreement meta data into generated contact document
      - Creation and transfer of line item table into contract document
-     - Creation of a unique barcode on the contract header
      - Contract negotiation with clause changes in MS Word are tracked in the contract repository
      - Change of meta data like Agreement Effective Date in MS Word possible and transfer back to master agreement in repository
      - etc
The are the possibility to integrate CLM contract to SRM Contracts

SRM Contracts

Is there any table(s) from which I can download the contracts?
I use the Download Contract button to download to Excel but the Unit of Measurement (field between Product Type and Price in Item Data) is missing during downloads using the single contract download or bulk download. I checkup the notes but none of them pertain to this problem.
Is there any workaround to accomplish this hence the question about can I directly access and table and download.
We are on SRM 5.0.
Thanks

Hi
Please go through these pointers and links as well.
Refer to Function module - BBP_PD_CTR_CREATE / BBP_PD_CTR_CHANGE
Tcode BBP_PD is a wealth of knowledge. you need to select proper object type from the drop down and enter the relevant Object number and execute.On the next screen in the details double click on each separate node and it will take you to table and display the records, There are vaiorus object type like Shopping cart, PO Contract, Bid etc.

CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION CCTR Vs GOA

Hi All
Learnt that SAP has some improvement on DISTRIBUTION for CCTR contract ? Can any one explain how it is Indeed helps compare to GOA.
In GOA --> in the Header it self we go to distribute Porg, plant , Doc Type and Release value.
How new enhanced CCTR Contract Distribution works. I believe seperate folder for DISTRIBUTION in CCTR.
what steps needs to be followed on simple and comlex distribution?.
Muthu

Hi Muthu,
From what i know, CCTR can be referenced and used both in SRM and ECC, wheras, GOA can be used IN ECC only (after it is created and distributed from SRM).
Pricing would be controlled from SRM.
You need to activate Business Function, set the appropriate doc types and condition types in ECC.
CCTR Distribution / qty usage updates works using PI while GOA uses IDOCs.
Additional fields for say CCTR number / item number appear in ECC after Business function activation. You also need to add the workflow user in the Org structure (Local POrg/Pgrp).
Not sure on the Simple and Complex scenarios though.

DTW Sort Error - after mapping during import

I got the "Sort Error - after mapping during import" message in DTW. (version 8.8)
I would like to import warehouse info for items.
My itemcodes are fix 15 character numbers, like this: 10204150020011

Dear All
Please give correct and complete information
i have tested every kind of combination;
- recreate the template with the dtw for Items = i have UDF's
- ADD the column RecordKey !!! unbelievable that we have to do this
- i have entered a nr 1 in it (even when we had already 850 items in the database)
(and of course the hints of Gordon - columns as text, start with basic... - and use CSV format)
now at last i can import the record line

'Add Approver' is inactive for SRM contracts

Dear colleagues,
We have deal with SRM 5.5. The point is that the button 'Add Approver' is inactive for 'Approval Preview'.
This issue regarding SRM contracts. Does anybody know how to activate usage of "add approver" during approvement of a contract.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Grygoriy
P/S
I've had a look at notice 'ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled' by N M Poojari ( ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled), unfortunately, author didn't point to solution of his problem. So, I'll appreciate more detailed plan of actions.

Thanks, Siobhan, for your reply.
However, the problem was caused by my attempt to to do the following steps with a wrong WF (instead standart workflow for contracts (WS14000148) we use Z-flow) :
PFTC -> Select workflow template -> workflow you are using -> Display -> Additional data ->
Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button
'General Task'. -> The problem is solved
Yours faithfully,
Grygoriy Gavrylyuk

SRM Contract management personalization

Dear SRM Gurus,
We are currently implementing the CM for SRM 7.0 in standalone scenario.
Here I got two questions about the personalization:
1. How is it possible to remove the catalog links in the "add item" button dropdown menu? In the Dynpro for this button there are no catalog mentioned, just the Product category and Normal Item type. So I guess the catalog menu is added somewhere else.
2. Is it possible to customize the content of the "send email" possibility when viewing an submited contract?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Michal

Hi,
1. As for the "add item" button we need to remove the catalog links, not the Product category item type and for contract, not the SC.
yes , you can remove the catalog link
2. Could you please provide the IMG Path where the Email content can be modified?
This is the Std Content .check with your technical team (or) workflow person .There will be a std template
