During Auction Creation, In Basic data tab, we have the option to create "User defined biding rules" at Auction rules.
How to create these user defined bidding rules. what are the configuration settings needed. If there any document available to define bidding rules please forward to my E-Mail id:

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dinesh,
Thanks for your quick response. Your document helps to how to create an live auction. But my requirement is different.we can create auction with different rules. SAP has provided 4 rules .
1. Overall Best Bid - English Auction
2. Best Bid From Each Bidder - Blind Bidding Rank-Only
3. Best Bid From Each Company - Company Best Bid
4. User defined bidding rules - Customer specific
While creation of bid you can choose any one of these options. for first 3 options SAP has provide some ruling.
But for 4th one customer has to define the rules while bidding.
My requirement is to define rules for bidding.
How to define these rules and where to define these rules so that if I select the 4th option while creating the live auction these rules will effect in live auction.
Regards,
Apparao A

Live Auction bids not copied to EBP at end of auction

Dear All,
We are working in SRM 5.0 with LAC 2.0. We are on support pack 8. The problem we are facing is:
Bids are created via the Live Auction applet but after the auction ended,
the bids cannot be seen on the EBP system.
We also tried sap note 811180 but couldn't succeed.
Please let me know the solution.
Thanks

Hi
The report REPORT BBP_LA_CREATE_QUOTATION needs to be changed manually.
Are you using Service Pack - SP09 ??
Please see the SAP OSS Note 811180 for more details.
Take help of ABAP person to ensure that this SAP OSS Note is applied correctly.
Otherwise, Incase it does not helps, Please create a Customer OSS messge with SAP for faster resolution of this problem.
Do let me know.

Live auction Bidder/Bids ---- Find bidder, add bidder not populating

Hi SRM gurus,
Our live auction we created an auction from Shop--> Sourcing and when to try to add the bidder thru. tab --> Bidder/Bids --> Find --
we could see the list of the vendors but if we select the transfer then the required vendor is not populated.
Any suggestions/oss notes relevant for the same.
Kindly suggest.
Reg.,
Sridhar

Hi,
Our SRM component version is 400, and SRM server 500
Our LAC component is 2.0
Using the option T Code : BBP_AUCTION using GUI we added using F4 help and we could add directly few of the vendors( two vendors we cant add i dont know y) and created an auction and published. If so I dont see any reason why it is not possible for the same bidders in webbrowser.
Any thoughts now ?
The whole process is working for bid invitation for the same vendors though.

Surrogate bidding in SRM Live auction

Hi,
While doing surrogate bidding in SRM live auction, system gives following error,
"You are not authorised to display the auction"
What settings are required in customisation to bid in live auction on the behalf of supplier?
Thanks a ton
Regards,
NB

Proxy bidding enables the system to automatically bid on a bidders behalf, promoting competitive bidding by allowing bidders to more easily monitor the auction, since it is not necessary for them to enter bids manually.
ARE YOU WITHIN THESE PREREQUISITES?
a.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled for auctions that use the overall best bid validation.
b.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled if bid decrements greater than zero have been defined on all line items.
c.) Proxy bidding is not available in auctions with lots.
When proxy bidding is enabled, bidders submit a minimum bid to indicate the lowest they are willing to submit for a line item. The system then acts as a proxy agent and rapidly bids on line items on the bidders behalf during the auction, placing bids according to bidding parameters such as next valid bid, bid decrement, and reserve price to maintain the bidders leading position in an active auction until the auction ends or the minimum bid is reached.

What is the difference between live auction and bid invitation

hi friends
what is the difference between live auction and bid invitation
thanks
regards
vinaykrishna

Source SAP.
BI including Price and non-price variables but LAC Bidding is based on price only.
BI - Longer response time for Bidders (from days to week) but Bidding short bidding windows (Hours).
BI - Bidders sees no information on competitors' bid but in LAC Rank,Best Bid , and next bid can be displayed on real time
BI-Well suited for large variety of goods and services , including ram waterials, services and projects but LAC More suited for commodities or goods and services with standard attributes that vary only slightly from supplier to supplier.
BI -Sourcing is based on value propositions (.eg. High Quality ,fast deliveries) rather than price but LAC market dynamics of auctions work best when buyer/seller relationship is loosele- coupled.

User-Defined Bidding Rule in Auction

Hi ,
Has anyone used the User_Defined Bidding Rule in Auctions ? We could not find enough documentation on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sukumar

Hi,
There is no standard functionality to achieve this. I can suggest a way using 3 KF.
KF1 - This should have a disagg type 'P' and based on KF Sales Order.
KF2 - This should have a disagg type 'P' and based on prop ref KF.
KF3 - This will be the sum of KF1 & KF2. This should have disagg type 'N' - No Calculation.
Load KF1 with Sales Order value or the Planned Demand whichever is lesser in your example this will have a value of 100. Load this at the highest level, so that it disaggregates based on the Sales Order at the detailed level.
KF2 = Planned Demand - Sales Order. Load this also at the highest level so that it disaggregates based on the Prop Ref factors you will have defined.
KF3 = KF1 + KF2. We should do this at the detailed level so that disaggregation from KF1 and KF2 is carried forward into this. All of these functions can be achieved thru macros available in the Planning books.
Based on the freq of change, you can decide to run it in background once a day or make it a at Save macro in the planning books.
I am confident this will serve your purpose.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks
Mani

Live Auction has been installed, but doesn't work

Hi experts!
I've got a lot of errors - LAC doesn't work - Need your help!
1: (SmokeTest):
Make sure the Live Auction initiator's applet JAR file has been properly deployed. This file should be located at H:\usr\sap\SRN\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.srm.la\servlet_jsp\srm\root\srm\nullsrmlaInitiator5.10.0.jar.
If you are accessing this page outside of the firewall and via a web dispatcher or reverse proxy, then make sure you can download the JAR file using the "Download" button below. Alternatively, you can try accessing this page inside the firewall to verify that the JAR file is deployed properly.

I cannot explain it other than to tell you the current recommendations are to keep java turned off and there are no other posts like yours that claim they need it on (at least that I have seen). Also I have it off on my system and flash plays with no problems in all the sites I go to (modulo some buffering problems sometimes with certain hi-res videos on only youtube).
Did you install the latests flash player downloaded directly from the adobe site?
Maybe you have a flash storage or cookie problem. Those can be cleared and deleted with the Flash Player system preferences.
It's your decision on whether you want to take your chances with Java on rather than find the root of the problem. If you do that then at a minimum make sure you have latest apple java updates, I recommend you install and learn about Little Snitch, and use OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).

SRM Live Auction Applet

Hello SRM Experts,
We having SRM 5.0 classic scenario and LAC WPS 5.0. I created a Live Auction and the status are Ready, Aktiv, Published and Complete. I have also a LA session number, but when I use the Link "Live Auction" in AUC/BID Screen I got following Applet error message.
+Service cannot be reached
What has happened?
URL http://bitb72.sap.bitgv.de:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/_accessibility=0 call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
Note
The termination occurred in system B72 with error code 404 and for the reason Not found.
The selected virtual host was 0 .
What can I do?
Please select a valid URL.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.
ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-c:000-u:SAPSYS-l:E-i:bitb72_B72_00-v:0-s:404-r:Notfound
HTTP 404 - Not found
Your SAP Internet Communication Framework Team+
In the next step I was using the Live Auction Applet Smoke Test. After enter the Auc session number and the purchaser`s user name and password the message "Auction cannot be viewed in current status" appears in Pop-Up Window.
When I enter the Bidder´s user name and passwort the message "Your are not authorized to display the auction" appears in Pop-Up Window.
The Roles are like following:
Purchaser:
SAP_BBP_STAL_OPERAT_PURCHASER
SAP_EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE
SAP_EC_BBP_OP_PURCHASER
Bidder:
SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER
SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER
I have no idea what the issue is. The smoke test looks fine all tests are on green light. Maybe there is a problem with vendor-BP-Bidder Relationship.
Thank you very much for your answer in advance.
Kind Regards
Axel

Live Auction Link not correct

Hi All,
We have Live Auction setup with SRM 7.0 EHP2. When we click Live Action button from Auction Overview Screen, it takes us correctly to our company url link (http://myjabilstg.corp.jabil.org/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl%3A%2F%2Faf4e4b.....) where as if we get into Display Auction and click Live Action button there it takes us to SRM Server link (http://sapsrqci.corp.jabil.org:8001/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAxMCZkPW1pbg==)/bc/bsp/sapsrm/bsp_java_...) how can we make the later same as the former? Appreciate your time. Thanks!

Hi Sam
Thank you for the response. I have noticed if i select bidding system to be "external bidding system" then the auction is sent to SUS via PI , message "AuctionSRMReplicationRequest_Out" to create the auction in SUS. I am now facing the issue that the "Partner 0000000815 not found" this business partner belongs to the operation purchaser in SRM.
How do we transfer users from SRM to SUS keeping the same business partner ?
A lot of threads refer to the following note " 1523906" but i can download as it is not released. Does anyone have the note downloaded ?
Thanks
Lebo

Live Auction Error

Hi Guys,
We are using SRM 5.0. I have some problem while conducting the live auction.
1. During creation of live auction creation, System is not allowing to give decimal value in multipliers field of factor tab where we assign factor to bidder. It is taking only integer; means system is taking 16% only. But it needs to take 16.32%. Client wants to enter in decimal values.
2. During live auction, Bidder is able to submit zero value. I want to restrict him from entering low valued price bid. If bidder has submitted less than 30 % of total bid System should prompt error message.
Regards,
Apparao A

Hi Atul,
Thanks for you reply. I have check the configuration setting for Currency key and exchange rates. But nothing was changed.
Please tell me one thing that in your system are you able to give decimal values at multiflier field in the factor during live auction?

Apparao. A
