SRM - Datasource for Purchase Order Response

Hi All,
Is there any standard data source exists for Purchase Order Response in SRM?
Since Purchase Order and Purchase Order Documents are different, we require to instal separate data source for POR Document.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks,
Anil

Found that there is no standard data source for POR Documents, which needs to be extracted with generic extractor.
Delta will be populated by the FM 'BBP_BI_DELTA_UPDATE' in SRM, which wont support POR object type.

External number range for purchase order response?

Hi all,
is it possible to use an external number range when creating purchase order responses (BUS2209, PCO, POR) manually?
If I transfer the POR from an external system like SUS via XML, can I use an external number range?
I'm using SRM 4.0 (EBP 5.0) in standalone scenario with Business Connector 4.7 as XML interface.
Any help is appreciated,
Karsten

Hi
No need to maintian Internal number range.. Yes you need to use an external number range
Only the PO, RQ & RS are sync and therefore must correspond with the R/3 number ranges.
The rest, Shop Cart (SC), Local PO (EBP), Confirmation, Invoice, Bid Inv and Bid, aren't synced and can be assigned to any number range. (FYI- using ECS)

What is inbound XML message type and idoc type in Purchase Order response

Hi ,
We are on SRM 7 ECS , support pack SAPKIBKV08.
We have a process in which vendor will send a Purchase Order response which will be
converted to XML format by a middleware. This XML message will come to
SRM and post a POR. I want to do the EDI mapping for this XML message,
but there is no message type and idoc type in SRM for Purchase Order
response. How do I map my message type in SRM to the vendor sent fields
in middleware .
Please advise
Rgds
Sumendra

Hi,
You can process with XML without IDoc.
Vendor-> (XML) -> PI -> (XML) -> SRM.
Please check PurchaseOrderConfirmation_In in namespace "http://sap.com/xi/SRM/Procurement/Global".

Number ranges for purchase order in SUS- why?

Dear Gurus,
In SPRO settings, I have seen the option for defining the number range for purchase order in supplier self service system. similarly, there is an option for defining the number range for purchase order response.
Why do we need to define the number range for purchase order and its response in SUS system? In SUS system, the purchasing documents from SRM and MM system create corresponding Sales Order and its follow-on document. So, we need to define the number range for sales order not purchase order.
In spro documents, it says you need to define the number range only if you create purchase order locally in SUS.
What does it mean?
regards,
Ranjan

Hi Ranjan,
Unfortunately in SUS, Sales orders are referred to as Purchase orders only. Hence any PO with a number say 450000000 that comes into SUS will have a corresponding number in SUS as 19000000.
Sam has already explained the PO response part.

Nikhil

No event raised for BUS2209 Purchase order response

Hi Folks,
Have any of you experiensed that the SAVED event for POR is not raised?
I checked the event trace ( No restrictions) and there is no entry after the POR is saved.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I save a POR that is manually entered via transaction BBPPCO02 "Enter Purchase Order Response " and it has a variance as the message says, "position 1 price outside tolerance limit"
If I test the start condition i SWB_PROCUREMENT I get a TRUE on both WS14500019 and WS14500007.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

URGENT:Approval of purchase order

At present approval of purchase order is done based on order value.. but how to approve PO based on ITEM CATEGORY?

Go in Purchasing Super User responsibility and follow the path Setup: Approvals: Approval Groups. In the Approval Groups form you choose "Item Category Range" as value, put an amount limit and indicate low and high values for purchasing category. You put all this in either an existing or a new approval group and then assign this group to some HR position in Approval Assignments.
Hope this helps

Purchase Order Response Not able to do by the Supplier from SUS

Hi Experts,
During sometimes, the supplier is not in a position to make POR from SUS.
After selecting the PO from Supplier side, when they are trying to do POR they are not able to either select Confirm (tick mark) or reject (X mark) from their screen which means always those buttons are in greyed mode or no action like Green or Red respectively. What could be the reason ? However, they can see the Send button.
Please provide me the input to do investigation.
Thanks
Rajesh K

Hi Rajesh,
   If you are not able to respond for PO from SUS then you have to activate the workflow WS14500001.. Here some more workflows you can check for POR
Workflows
You can configure the following workflows for the purchase order response:
·        (WS14500001)
Automatic transfer of purchase order response data into the purchase order. The system carries out a comparison during the data transfer (background processing). If the quantity, price, and delivery date variances transmitted by the vendor are within the tolerance limits set in Customizing, and no other variances are transmitted, then the data transfer of the first inbound POR occurs automatically.
This workflow is relevant for XML receipt or manual entry with subsequent approval.
·        (WS14500019)
If POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed of this via a work item. As a purchaser, you can decide for each item whether you wish to transfer the data into the purchase order or not.
·        (WS14500007)
If POR data differs from that in the purchase order, you can be informed of this via e-mail (with the number of the purchase order).
·        (WS14500017)
Monitoring receipt of the purchase order response:
If the flag Purchase order response expected is set in the purchase order, and if by a certain time a purchase order response has not been received for all items in a purchase order, then you can be informed of this via a work item.
SAP WON'T DELIVER ANY WF TEMPLATE WITH NUMBER RANGE OF '9' BECAUSE 99% CUSTOMER USE NUMBER RANGE 9' FOR CUSTOM WORKFLOW..

SRM 7.0: Purchase Order Response (BUS2209) functionality, workflow

Hello,
We're trying to configure the purchase order response (BUS2209) functionality. We have configured the BUS2209 document types and numberranges and maintained the 'purchase order response expected' marker for certain vendors. We therefore expected to be able to post a POR via the Purchasing:PO powl however the 'create POR manually' and other 'POR actions' are greyed out. Has anybody been able to post BUS2209 documents in an SRM 7.0 system?
Also if we look at: IMG -> SAP SRM -> SRM SERVER -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Business Workflow -> Define Process Levels -
No BUS2209 object is list, no workflow can be maintained (you can't add anything manually either). We have activated the Process Controlled Workflow for all business objects.
Any help and input is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I did two things:
1) I activated the start conditions for the three POR workflows as supplied by SAP. I still think this has nothing to do with the problem, but you never know.. The setting is located in the IMG under Workflow -> Application-controlled wfl, or similar (I don't have access to the system right now).
2) I created a tolerance group Zxxx with tolerance key PR; I used 'limit as percentage' of 5% in both upper and lower limit. I assigned the key Zxxx to the attribute TOG of a user (with the role /SAPSRM/OP_PURCHASER) in PPOMA_BBP.
This caused the options to be enabled. I then successfully created a PO response manually for a PO, which in turn caused a change version of the PO to be created. This change version had to be approved in order for the changes in the POR to be valid.

We are running the availability check for Purchase orders and the user group is wondering if there is a standard Missing Parts report in SAP similiar to transaction CO24 for Purchase Orders so that they can view all of the Purchase orders with missing parts.
As a side note, we are using subcontracting purchase orders.

didn't get a response.
