Optimizer not picking preferred vendor out of multiple contracts

We need to use outline agreements in APO. We are doing the following:
CIFing the outline agreement(s) to APO
T-lane(s) created from Vendor to destination location
Running Optimizer
Purchase requisitions created with suitable source of supply.
Problem:
If there are more than single vendors for a material , there is a preferred vendor that needs to be picked by the system. We set the t-lane priorities acc. to preferred vendor and it works fine with heuristic. But for optimizer, we are not able to determine a method for the system to determine the preferred vendor and pick it during optimizer run.
Could you please share your thoughts or best practices regarding above.
Thanks.

Thanks Umesh..
I tried with transportation cost and it is working fine... but then how do we be sure that optimizer would work as expected because it tries to find an optimal solution with minimum
overall cost (that includes all the costs).
Plz advise.
Regards,
Shweta

Thanks & regards,
Sasi

Dear Sir,
I am also face same problem.
AIM : I want to display manufacture name in good receipt.
I done : I have create one charecteristic for manufacture and in this charecteristic i have assign field of manufacture name which is maintain in vendor partner role. Then i have maintain one batch class RM_class and it assign to material.But when i want to display manufacture name in good receipt it is not display.
Analysis : The field of manufacture name is not saved in any table it is use in structure. so field of manucture is not caintain any value so it can't display any valve in good receipt.
Solution: If you give name of manufactue in CT04(charecteristic of manufacture) and this charecteristic assign to class(RM_class) then this class is assign to material.Than when you create good receipt and select manufacture name it will display at the time of batch determination and also when you want to dispaly mateiral list by manufacture you can see it with help of BMBC.
If you have any other idea please explan me.

Vendor will not be automatically populated in the pricing stuctures. You will have to use exit USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK in program MV45AFZZ to fill the pricing communication structure.

Select Preferred Vendor in Describe Requirement not working

Dear all
We are in SRM4.0, Classic Scenario, R/3 4.6c backend
When I create a Describe Requirement and then go to Source of Supply tab to propose a preferred vendor, I am able to search for a vendor (valid for my POrg), to select one but it is not transferred to my SC. Why?
I had the impression that it was working in the past but I am not sure and I don't what I changed to cause the problem
Thanks for your help
RD

RD-
This does seem very strange and it does work in a standard system. Given this it seems that you ought to look for any changes you have made recently - in particular have you done anything in the document change badi that might be causing the source to be lost?
Have you tried the scenario running bbpsc01 in gui mode - does the issue persist in that case? If so check out HTML template changes?
Just my thoughts on your potential problem area.

Prefered vendor not displayed for shopping cart

Hi,
We have PDP scenario, SC's originated from R/3 purchase requisitions,
Issue details:
1. P.req was created with desired vendor and transfered to SRM and corresponding shopping cart is available in SOCO.
2. User created Held PO for corresponding SC.
3. When user checking monitor shopping cart then preffered vendor not displayed in source of supply tab.
When i checking BBP_PD for shopping cart, i found there is Disable flag(X) has been set for NO inbox selection partner.
what could be it mean, and more ever this changs has been originated via RFC user.how it was getting RFC user
Please advice me....

Venkateshwar
SC is generally sent to SOCO only when sourcing has to be carried out for the SC. IN this case you are hving a desired vendor in the SC and then you are creating a pO for the same. Although you have a Vendor in the PO that does not mean that SC will also have same vendor as preferred vendor in SC after you created the PO....

Multiple Preferred Vendors in Source of Supply -Shopping cart

Hi SRM Gurus,
While Creating Shopping Cart, the requestor need to assign multiple (more than one) preferred vendors as Sources of Supply.
I could able to choose only one preferred vendor. How can we choose, more than one preferred vendor.
Thanks in advance,
Ramkumar

Hi
SRM does not allows this functionality to have multiple fixed vendors for a single line item.
There can be multiple preffered vendors displayed in the search results. But at a time, only one vendor can be assigned to a line item as a fixed vendor.
In SRM system, even if you programmatically using BADI - BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, try to assign more than one vendors to aline item, you cannot order that shopping cart further.
<b>So, not possible.</b>
Hope this will help.

Add UDF in ITM2 - Items - Multiple Preferred Vendors

Hi Experts,
Can any one help me in creating UDF in ITM2 - Items - Multiple Preferred Vendors Table?
Requirement is, a given item can have different vendors with different Quantity per Packaging UoM, Items per Purchase Unit
Packaging UoM (Purchasing), Lead Time, Order Multiples etc.,
Or is there any other accomplishments other than UDT & UDF.
Advance Thanks

Hi Gordon,
I hope ITM2 - Items - Multiple Preferred Vendors not a UDT, which captures Vendors Codes in Purchasing Tab of Item Master Data.
Version : SAP Business One 8.81 (8.81.315) PL: 07
The requirement in brief: Our client deal with many items generally purchased from different vendors. So there are chances that one item can be purchased from different vendors. The information like Packaging UoM, Items per Purchase Unit, Packaging UoM (Purchasing), Lead Time, Order Multiples etc vary from Vendor to Vendor because of Country of Origin.
In Purchase Order Document Entry screen the user needs all the above mentioned information in Row Level for their data entry with respect to Vendor Code + Item No. selected.
Hope you can understand now. Pl help us.
Thanks.

Vendor account not picked in F110 payment run

Hi Sap Experts,
i have assigned two payment methods to vendor master X,Y,which i do payment run for X for currency USD all the documents are picked for payment and when i run another payment run same time for Y for currency INR its not picking up in payment run even all the open item s are due,
could help me to solve the issue
Laxmi

Hi,
Delete the current proposal of the payment run. Enter parameters once again. In Free selection tab restrict the currency to INR field. Run the proposal once again. If it still does pick up line items, check the following things
1. Parameters of the first payment run. Did you restrict the payment run only for the first payment method
2. Also see the dates entered in parameter tab of both runs

Automatic Payment program not picking vendors

Hi
On Monday,user run F110, some vendors are not picked up for payment. When I've checked this vendor master data payment terms 60 days (Net due date from Doc.date) is mentioned. These vendors fall in to due next 06/22/2008.But they are in open items only. The payment method is assigned correctly, no changes were done for past 3/4 months.
My doubt is Why these are not picked for payment when they are in Open Item in this payment run ?
Can any one tell me when will these vendors can be picked up for payment ? Do they complete the total period as per payment terms assignement ?
Regards
Madan

Hi
I've checked the next p/date, it is 06/19/2008 which is less than due date (06/22/2008).
Is it the reason for not picking ? If I want this vendor to be picked up for payment, Shall I run this once again by giving more than due date like 06/24/2008 ?
I've checked other vendors also, they fall under due date and got picked up.
I appreciate your kind response and will award you the points soon..

System is not picking bank out going account in TBB1

Hi All,
I am facing the problem in TBB1 accounting entries, system is picking the bank main account (From House bank/account id assigned GL) Not picking Bank out going account from account determination
Example:
Accounting entry at the time of TBB1: (Term start)
Wrong entry
Dr. Fixed Term Deposit GL account
Cr. Bank Main account (Which is assigned in House bank/account ID)
Correct accounting entry should be like this:
Dr. Fixed Term Deposit GL account
Cr. Bank out going account
I have checked the Payment configuration but still not able to identify the issue
Thank in advance for your help and support
Regards,
MS

Hi Ravi,
I was going through your reply.
I needed some clarity on my understanding please confirm it.
Suppose Bank Account is : 113150 ( Created in FS00)
Bank Clearing Account for Treasury Clearing purpose is 114150 (not yet created in FS00)
Bank Clearing for non treasury clearing purpose is 112150 (created in FS00)
in my account determination of TRM I have maintained masking as ++++++4+++
then in this case when posting happens Account picked up will be 114150 based on my House Bank detail in payment tab.
Although 114150 is not created in FS00 and not maintained in T042Y in FBZP. and system will throw error.
Am I right?
Please confirm the understanding.
