Hi,
Q no 1:
Sourcing Cockpit is an area from where you can source the requirements..There are two ways by which sourcing can be done.
1. The Purchase requisiton created from ECC 6.0 can be pushed to SRM for Sourcing . Either direct material with Part no or
Service requirement without part number
2. The shopping cart created in SRM can be converted to sourcing.
once the requirments are flown from ECC 6.0 and SRM . in the SRM server in sourcing node--click Carry our sourcing.
you can get all the requirements.
From this you can convert it to Purchase order,contract,Auction. Bid invitation.
Q. no 2 :Business Rule Framework.(BRF)
This is related to Workflow .From SRM 7.0 this workflow is called Process controlled workflow. Only by simple rules the
Workflow for Approval process for P.O ,Contract,Bid invitation can be done.
If you are SAP ABAP person they you can confugure this .Normally ABAP person will do this.. Please go to S ID and get the
details there for Business rule framework
Just check in this forum in Search you can get more details and notes

Search for member name in WebForms and Business Rules - 11.1.2.1

Hi,
Client has a hierarchy with two parents (Owned and Managed) within a dimension. The 'Managed' parent is no longer valid. Thus they want to eliminate it and move it's children under the 'Owned' member. However there could be ramifications in Business Rules and/or WebForms. Is there a way to search all Business Rules and WebForms for 'Managed' to see which Business Rules and/or WebForms would be affected?
Or is best way to extract all the WebForms and Business Rules to xml files via LCM and then write custom script to search the files? Not sure if this functionality is already there or not.
They are on 11.1.2.1

I don't think "Show Usage" picks up Business Rules that are in the Calculation Manger.
Also check the Member Formulas - easiest to do in the EAS (view the Outline, and the member formulas are displayed. Otherwise, in Planning, you would need to go into each member individually, and that would take forever). And if you're using Partitions or MRAs, you should check them, too.
I'm assuming you're doing all of this in a copy of the application, and not on a "live" app, right? So you can make the change and then validate the Business Rules and Outline, and the error messages will tell you where "Managed" was being used.

Currency Converion and Business Rule questions

Hi all,
I am new to BPC and would appreciate if you can help me answer few of my questions. I was going through how to documents on currency conversion and Business Rules.
1. The Flow in Currency Conversion and Business Rules different?
2. Can Currency conversion be done without defining the Currency Rules?
3. In Business Rules Detail there is a cloumn for Sign. How should one determine what sign should go for a given account?
Thanks,
Diksha.

Venkatesh,
It seems like you are using Company as your Entity type dimension.
Try to change your code to look like this
*RUN_PROGRAM CURR_CONVERSION
     CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
     SELECT(%CURRENCY_SET_ID%,"[ID]",CURRENCY,"CURRENCY_TYPE='R'")
     TID_RA = %TIME_SET%
     RATEENTITY = GLOBAL
    OTHER = [COMPANY=%COMPANY_SET%]
*ENDRUN_PROGRAM

Business Logic and Business Rules

Hi,
I have a very basic question. If we develop a new screen on top of ECC using Webdynpro ABAP to replace a ECC default screen, say for an example, ME51n screen for purchase requisition to be replaced by a custom screen developed in ABAP Webdynpro, then how do we incorporate the inbuild business logic and the business rules of me51n in to this new screen developed in ABAP Webdynpro? In short, how do we incorporate business logic and rules in to ABAP Webdynpro application?
do we have to code all the logic from scratch or we can use existing logic? If we can, how.
Thank you for your help.

When a sequence is created in planning and business rules added to it, can

When a sequence is created in planning and business rules added to it, can be seen in planning and on task lists. However when further rules added, the sequence disappears from planning and from task list and can no longer be seen

The security on each business rule will affect whether the sequence is visible - the underlying rules determine whether you see the sequence. If just one is not right the sequence will not be visible. Check the security - or add the rules to a project and assign project level security...

Regarding Business Rule Framework

Hi,
Could u please explain the process of Business Rule Framework(BRF)
and how to create this Business Rule Framework(BRF)
explain with step by step process.

Hi,
To have a BRF object, you should have BRF Application Class.
to do this -
1. go to tcode - BRFAPL01, create one.
2. then go to tcode BRF- create object with the same name as Application class.
3. Now run the program CRM_BRF_COPY_IMPL_CLASSES , and give your brf object name which you created in above steps.
4. now your BRF object is created with standard implementation classes.
5. Go to tcode BRF, in All Groups folder, you can now create actions, events, rules using the standard implementation classes.
6. If you want to create your own implementation classes, go to tcode BRFIMC01 and create new ones.

BRF (Business Rules Framework)

Hi all,
Anybody knows what is the scope of BRF (Business Rules Framework) and for what is used for? Advantages and disadvantages?
I already read the information in help.sap.com But is very technically and unclearly for me.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,
Here is just a detailed info for your questions
BRF - is an event-controlled runtime environment for processing rules.
The BRF also contains a maintenance environment in which a rule administrator can edit and configure BRF objects.
The BRF is object-oriented and therefore offers appropriate enhancement mechanisms that are modification-free and upgrade-independent.
Advantages
        Easy implementation and configuration of rules with minimal coding
        Easy maintenance of rules as there is not much coding involved
        Easy extension in order to support application specific data

For POs its based on Purchasing Hierarchy
Please let me know how to handle dynamic approvals for SC and PO.
Also please let me know how to handle the opens SCs and POs and their migration,switch back to application controlled if things doesn't work fine.
Thanks in advance

Business rule framework

Hi gurus,
I would like to know some details on BRF - Business Rule Framework...is it a technical stuff of functional..
expecting answers

Here is a brief description on BRF...
TheBRF isa Runtime and Maintenance Environment for the Processing, Implementation and Configuration of Technical and Business Rules.
An SAP Application using BRF raises BRF-Events
&#56256;&#56451;To eachBRF-Event, a number of Rules can be assigned.
&#56256;&#56451;A Rule works like: If<booleanExpression> then<Actions>
&#56256;&#56451;An Expression is an object that returns a result.
&#56256;&#56451;Expressions may be nested.
&#56256;&#56451;Usually, the result type is primitive (C, N, B, I, ...)
&#56256;&#56451;An Action is an object, that acts on another(usually non-BRF) object.
&#56256;&#56451;Actions may use Expressions as Parameters.
Events may be considered the entrypoint/gateway to Rule Evaluation and Execution in BRF
&#56256;&#56452;Events are implemented at specific points within a business processe.g.: when a document is stored, when a payment is transferred etc.
&#56256;&#56452;An Event is associated with one or more rules which wil be executed when the Event is triggered
&#56256;&#56452;Triggering an Event can be done via coding
&#56256;&#56452;Events can define the context:
&#56256;&#56452;E.g. crm event contextcrmt_brf_event_contex
BRF Expressions
&#56256;&#56452;Expressions are BRF objects that return a definite result
&#56256;&#56452;Boolean Expressions form the IF part of the Rule
&#56256;&#56452;Expressions can be e.g. of the following types:
    Constant
    Fieldof a Structure(DataSource)
    BooleanThree-operandArithmetic
    SAP Formula(as usedin BADI implementations)
BRF Actions
&#56256;&#56452;Actions are BRF objects that start some activity as part of Rule Execution
&#56256;&#56452;They form the THEN part of the Rule
&#56256;&#56452;Standard BRF Actions can be of the following types:
   ExecuteFunctionModule / Method
&#56256;&#56452;Actions are usually application specific.
For example, some Actions in FS are:Start Workflow/RaiseBOR-Event Status change Trigger BRF Event Message into the CRM Log
BRF Rulesets
Definition of Rule Set:The rule set concept offers the option of grouping rules that are connected in the business sense, but distributed over several events, and then activatingor deactivating them jointly.
