Making catalog free text item editable

Hi Guys,
We are working wirh SRM 7.0, SP09 for extended classic scenario. One of our requirement to make the catalog free text item editable was achieved by a solution as suggested in below thread.
Editing of catalog transfered item in SC
This solution helped to make the free text catalog item editable in SC for the requester.
I observed that once SC is submitted and send for completion approval, the approver is no longer able to edit the free text of the catalog item. We want to allow the purchaser to edit the free text description, product category and price.
Can anyone sugegst some approach? Your inputs will be highly regarded.
Thanks & regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant ,
To make the filed editable  you need set the meta data in completion workflow
you need set the meta data for field .
Thanks & Regards

  • Intercompany Exchange of NLAG materials or free text items

    Hi,
    in my company we have set up the intercompany procurement process according to the SAP standard. Means when one company places a PO with another group company (different comp code) a delivery is created against this PO. Now the companies want to start procuring either NLAG materials or free text items which leads to an error message ME124 "Material not subj. to inventory mgmt. in plant" for NLAG or error 06806 "Procurement w/o material from vendor with plant assignment not defined".
    Any ideas how to overcome this?
    Regards,
    St

    Hello Stefan Teckenbr,
    Please do the above necessary customization
    Go into IMG > Logistics general > material master > Basic Settings > material type > Define Attributes of Material Types
    Select your material type and click Quantity/Value update.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank,

  • Free text and catalog items

    Hello SRM Experts
    How can I implemnt this requirement ?
    A Purchase Requisition has been uploaded from backend into SRM and a Shopping Card will be
    generated.
    The Purchase Requisition will be generated automatically if you create an Plant Maintance Order.
    After Approval Process within SRM is the following action is desired.
    If the generated Shopping Card has catalog items than choose or call in the BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE
    BADI the class CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_470 for creating a purchase order
    else choose in case of free text items CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_RQ_CRT_470 (update the Purchase Requistion inside)
    in order to update the Purchase Requistion in the backend.
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi. How's this:
    1 - Implement BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS  method DETERMINE_LOGSYS -
    2 - Loop at ITEM_DATA
    3 - If ITEM_DATA-CATALOGID is not initial then ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM = Backend R/3 / ECC system
    4 - If ITEM_DATA-CATALOGID is initial then ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM = SRM system
    At this point if your shopping cart item is from a catalogue then you will get a backend PO. If it is a free text item you will get a local SRM PO.
    5 - Now implement BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_PO_CHANGE. This will only get called when a local PO is created or changed.
    6 - In BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI Call function BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE destination R/3 / ECC backend to update your requisition.
    7 - Also in  BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI Loop at ET_ITEM and set ET_ITEM-DEL_IND to 'X'.
    Basically you have created a dummy SRM PO and used the PO change BADI to change the requisition, and also to delete the dummy PO.

    Hi,
    If you are using Application Controlled workflow then the starting conditions for each workflow are defined in transaction SWB_COND.
    The attribute &_EVT_OBJECT.EXISTFREETEXTLINEITEM& ( &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Free entry exists& ) can be used to to distinguish between free text items and catalog items. In this transaction you can search for the other attributes you wish to use in the start conditions. You can also see the list of attributes via transaction SWO1. Enter Object/Interface Type = BUS2121. Hit display and expand the attributes menu.
    Kind regards,

  • Free text capital procurement

    Hi,
    We are using SRM 7 ECS.  We are procuring material for direct procurement also from SRM. The way to do this is to enter a material in SC and tick mark the u201Corder as direct materialu201D, so that it becomes as direct procurement.
    1st Question is that can we procure free text for direct procurement, i.e we want the user to procure free text and order as direct material. Is this possible?
    We have also made a custom tick-mark field in the SC screen header. If user checks this header field, then the u201Corder as direct materialu201D check-mark field in all the line items gets ticked. In other words this header field merely ticks mark the u201Corder as direct materialu201D field in SC line item.
    Now if user  procures free text , and ticks this custom field at header , u201Corder as direct materialu201D field gets ticked mark at line item level. When this goes to completion buyer, the free text field is greyed out, and the buyer is unable to replace the free text with material. Are we doing something wrong here? If everything is correct in the above process, can we make the free text field editable by the completion buyer?

    Hi Sumendra,
    Just enabling the check box for 'Order as a direct material' wont suffice.
    If you think logically, free text items are usually non stock items (procured against cost centers for example). Whereas direct materials are procured for stock consumption.
    Hence you can use 'Order as a direct material' for only those materials which you have replicated into SRM from ECC.

  • Free Text Shopping cart WorkFlow

    Hi,
    I have to know if a shopping cart was created from a Free text item or from catalog before the WF starts (in a check funtion module).
    Is there any way to know if the shopping cart was created from free text or catalog?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As per my understanding, you want to make decision, if it is Free text you need to start one work flow, else another workflow.
    This check you can do it in Starting conditions of the workflow. SWB_COND (Transaction).
    Go to SWB_COND, choose business object BUS2121, it will display all work flows which are event linkage activated.
    Now go to specific workflow which you need to start if it is Free text Shopping cart, if the condition is true workflow will start.
    If starting conditions are complex, suggest you to create new attribute and use the same in starting conditions.
    Hope this will be helpful, all the best.

  • GR based IV to be checked for free text requirement

    Hi All,
    Is there any option that if we create shopping carts for free text requirement,GR based IV should be checked automatically in purchase order created for that shopping cart.Or will this get replicated depending on vendor master we select.Please suggest.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    As of standard, this setting in PO would come from Vendor master only. But in case you want this to happen for all free text items, then you can use the doc change badi as suggested by Masa. You should use the po change method to pass this indicator.

  • Purchasing group for free text SC

    Hi everyone,
    We have a requirement to change the purchasing group for free text & catalog SC's. We are using SRM 7.0. Normal procedure is to select the material from catalog, purchasing group is selected  & once it is approved a PO is created.
    But, now the requirement is that if a user is selecting a catalog material, then the selection of purchasing group should be restricted as per the business.
    And if the SC is being created from Free text, then the purchaser's selection should be restricted to very few options in drop down.
    Is it possible? I was thinking if the selection of purchasers could be restricted  using BADI: BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI or BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI. But, there is no option for differentiation based on SC created using Catalog & SC's created from free text.
    Can anyone please help me with this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bhakti

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for reply.
    @Muthu: I explored the tables, but the only difference I could find between the catalog & free text SC materails is that the product id is missing for free text SC. Based on this I am unsure if any BADI can be used. Kindly let me know, if the BADI's can be called on this criteria.
    @ Virendra: I doubt if that, that can be solution, since the product cataegory for free text cannot be fixed. It will depend on user requirement.
    Pls help me to define the purcahsing groups for free text SC's.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Classic Scenario and free text

    Hi,
    Scenario : Classic (No sourcing cockpit in SRM)
    As for the free text item, I want to assign 'fixed' vendor to create a PO in back-end. How do I do it ?
    Thanks
    Pranav

    Hi
    You will have to work with partner function 00000039 which is the prefered vendor to move into the partner function 00000019.
    In the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI we provide the business partner data
    through the IT_PARTNER interface table. the prefered vendor or desired
    vendor has partner type 39, the regular supplier will have partner
    type 19. a switch from 39 to 19 .

  • Free text workflow

    Hello all,
    Standard workflow for the free text (describe requirement) is that shopping cart is going to the purchaser and than to requestor manager to approval.
    Is it possible to reverse that? I would like that such shopping cart is going to manager as first and that to purchaser.
    TIA
    Gordan

    Hello Gordan,
    This is my understanding for standard completion workflow. WS14000044.
    1. Employee create a SC with free text item
    2. Completion workflow starts, Purchaser updates the item
    3. Employee accept the changes
    If you do not need completion workflow, you can just use 2step approval and assign purchaser(ASBPURLIST) to 2nd approver. WS10000031.
    or
    If you need 2 steps completion workflow, copy the WS14000044 and add 2nd task.
    Assign ASBMANAGER to 1st task and ASBPURLIST to 2nd task.
    Regards,

  • Automatic PO creation - only for PRs based on catalog SRM/EBP items

    Dear Experts,
    i am facing the following question w.r.t. automatic PO creation:
    Is it possible to have automatic PO creation in R/3 only for those purchase requisition items, that are based on shopping cart/EBP/SRM items that are from a third party punch out catalog?
    The idea is, that the requisitioner on the SRM EBP side shops in a catalog. Once the the SC is approved and the purchase requisition is created in the R/3 system, automatically a PO should be created based on that PReq. This would save the time for the buyer, who do not need to pay attention to this document, because the purchase from the catalog guarantees the buyer, that the already pre-agreed conditions are getting applied.
    But PReqs that are based on Free Text shopping cart EBP items must not be taken into account for the automatic PO creation.
    Is there a way to distinguish between the catalog-based and the non-catalog based PReq positions?
    Thank you.

    Auto PO transaction ME59N comes with huge selection crieteria. If you can distinguish between catelog vs non catalog requisition then it very easy to set up variant to filter non catalog based requistion. you can also think about ehnacement of polulating text fields like Requisitioner or Requirement tracking number  with unque idetifier  in case of non catalog based PR then you can set variant to filter out those requistions..

  • Chart and text items are not synchron

    hi all,
    i am a newbie in apex 4.0.
    i have two regions. the first shows a chart, based on pl/sql-code. second shows text items for possible filter an the current statement of the chart.
    when user clicks on a bar in the chart then
    1. i set the the first text item as filter,
    2. a pl/sql-code runs, build a sql statement, assign the sql statement string to the second text item and
    3. returns the statement for the chart.
    it works fine. the chart refresh. and the data i can see are correct.
    but the text items in the other region doesn't refresh.
    when i press "refresh"-button at browser level everything is fine. chart and text items fits together.
    what can I do to refresh all regions when the chart changes the sql-statment / User clicks?
    Is there any way to read out the current statement of a chart?
    thx in advance

    Bernd: the reason I asked about views is that you don't have any error messages. This might indicate that (a) you have no items in the view, or (b) there's something wrong with view-role-user assignment.
    To check for (a), please go to the published procurement catalog, and go to Views tab. Check that your View is Active. Click on your View ID link to display view details. You should see a list of characteristics assigned to your view in Assign Characteristics sub-tab (the list should not be blank!). Go to Assign Items sub-tab. Navigate in your schema to find items that are supposed to be assigned to your view. You should see "Yes" in the "Assigned" column for those products. If you don't, then you simply don't have any items in your view.
    Another thing I'd like you to check: when the user calls your procurement catalog for search, do you see the name of the catalog displayed just below the drop-down "Select Categories Hierarchically"?
    Cheers,
    Serguei
