Output Contract / GOA

Dear all,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 and using the Contract Management Scenario. For Global Outline Agreements there is also a Push Button for "Output" available. By clicking currently the message "Output could not be created - Inform System Admin".
Does anyone know what settings are needed to be able to Output Global Outline Agreements from SRM?
Looking forward to your insights!
Thanks,
Claudia

Hi Kristoffer,
looking on the Header data there is a link "Output Logs".
It is an overview also called "Search Results". There is nothing what I can select.
I do not know, what is needed to get the Output Function working - is that only available in Extended Classic Scenario? Specific settings needed in SRM as well on the vendor record?
Thanks in advance,
Claudia

Some question about the renegotiation function in SRM Contract (GOA)

Hi All Expert,
We are on SRM 5/4.6, there is a question about the renegotiation function in SRM GOA.
Can we renegotiate the price for some parts in the GOA items with this function ( e.g. Only renegotiate one item in the contract) ?
Will the item price updated automatically after the renegotiation?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Wendrin

Hi Sanjeev,
Many thanks for your help.
One more question, if I add a new item when we renegotiation, will it be transfered to contract and create a new item after that?
Thanks and best regards
Wendrin

Produc category contracts (GOA

Hi,
We have item category field in the GOA we can select product category over there. What is the use of it. Please advise.

hI friend
ok. understood . can you check product type as 02 in crmd_orderadm_i table for that item. system should not send any UOm data and i think something wrong data going to ecc or wrong validation is happening in ecc for contract data.
as you might be correct. we are not transfering any uom to backend via product category contract.
note1:-
in srm by default item category is NORMAl and when you entered as product category , target qty /uom and target value
but sap realised later and validating product id verification

GOA distribution to R3 - Tax Code for ERS vendors

Hi all,
Having an issue with GOA distribution to R3 for evaluated receipt settlement vendors. For ERS vendors, tax code is a required field. There is not a tax code field in the GOA and this is not being passed in any iDoc segment I can find. My current tax configuration is calculate tax in backend, i have maintained tax codes I0.U1, I1 with U1 set as default. As shopping carts are transferred from R3 they are assigned U1 as expected and PO's generated in the BE from these external requirements are getting the U1 as expected. The problem is with contracts and scheduling agreements. Everything is fine unless the vendor has the ERS indicator set. Tax code becomes a required field.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've' researched SDN and everything talks about shopping carts and PO's, which is working for us. I cant find any info on the contract distribution. I've investigated the BADI's associated with tax calculation in SRM but I'm not sure these meet the requirement for ERS vendors.
Am I missing configuration? Is one of the tax badi's the way to go? Any information is appreciated.

Text Box in DOCUMENTS Tab when creating a Contract

Hi
I'm using SRM 5 , when creating a Contract(GOA), the minute you select the Documents Tab , the text box for internal note is already open, and it fills up the top portion of the screen. This does not allow you to save( or to put your contract either on hold, or to Release.) You cannot select any of those options as the text box covers the entire top area, the only option available is to click on "back to inital screen".
When you select this option you loose all your work,and it takes you to the initial screen.
I cannot find the note which has to be applied , please assist.
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly review the following note:

Free goods , contract, creating order

Hello SAP Prof,
1. what is the diff b/w Free goods and Bonus buy?
2. What is Rental Contract and service contract?
3. How can we create our own order ,
( we can copy std order.) But plz tell me how to create order with copy controls in detail.

Hi Rajesh
Free goods are considered to be merchandise, moveable belongings or personal property. Free goods are those which economists are not interested in because in free goods doe not offer the opportunity for creating a cost for usage. The best example of free goods is air because there is no scarity of air. Economists are interested only in goods, which can be manipulated to create cost for useage. Free goods are plentiful, you have as much as you want without a chance for future cost to society.
A bonus buy refers to any product manufactured or otherwise made available for purchase at a lower cost for a certain period of time. A bonus buy can relate to food, cars, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank loans or almost any product you can think of.
Examples of Bonus buys are: Buy one and get one free, 20% original price, 15% Reduced Mortgage today.
SERVICE CONTRACT:
A service contract is an arrangement between a service provider and service recipient and is characterized by a separate lease and service contract term. The lease usually ranges from 22 to 27 years while the service contract ranges from 13 to 18 years in length. The combination of the lease and service contract terms is typically 80% of the useful life of the asset. While the equity return is based on the overall term, depreciation occurs over 125% of the lease term only which differs from a pickle structure where depreciation occurs over the entire deal term. The participants in this type of transaction are the service provider or lessor, service recipient or lessee, operator, and customer. Typically, a service contract is used with assets such as gas, water, and power distribution networks and generation facilities. However, they can also be applied to real estate and securitization transactions.
A service contract is considered a property lease under section 7701(e) of the IRS Code if certain requirements hold. These requirements are divided into general and special criteria groups. Section 7701(e) outlines six criteria in the general case which indicate when a service contract should actually be classified as a lease:
If the service recipient is in physical possession of the property
If the service recipient controls the property
If the service recipient has a significant economic interest in the property
If the service provider has no economic risk in the contract
If the service provider does not provide services to a third party
If the contract price does not substantially exceed the rental value of the property
To obtain classification as a service contract, the first two rules essentially require a management contract so that the service provider maintains control of the property. The service recipient is allowed to retain an interest in the land underlying the asset via a ground lease without being considered in physical possession of the property. However, they will not be able to mandate how the property is maintained, operated, or improved. There are five rules to consider which determine significant economic interest in a property:
If the property is utilized by a service recipient for most of its useful life
If the service recipient bears the risk of a decline in value of the property
If the service recipient shares the reward for an increase in value of the property
If the service recipient receives a portion of savings in operating costs
If the service recipient bears the risk of damage or loss of the property
To be considered a service contract, the fourth general rule requires the service provider to bear the risk of reduced receipts or increased expenses as the result of non-performance under the contract. An exception to this rule is a provision which allows for an output contract to remain in force during short shut-downs of a facility. To resemble a service contract, the fifth rule states that services must be provided to someone other than the service recipient. For example, a purchaser of power should allow sales to customers and not use all of it for themselves. The last rule states that the total contract price should substantially exceed the value of the property to be classified as a service contract. Thus, if the contract price is derived mostly from recovery of costs of the property or there is a separation between use and service charges of the property, then the contract will resemble a lease.
An important item to note is that not all six requirements need to be satisfied to be considered a service contract. Section 7701(e) does not weight any of the criteria but simply allows for a contract either resembling a lease or a service contract. This would imply that a simple majority of criteria is necessary for classification.
Section 7701(e)(3) provides special rules for determining whether a contract is a service contract. These special rules apply only to the following types of facilities: qualified solid waste disposal, cogeneration, alternative energy, and water treatment works. The following four special rules replace the general rules for the above facility types and indicate when a service contract should actually be classified as a lease:
If the service recipient operates the facility
If the service recipient risks a significant financial loss when there is non-performance under the contract
If the service recipient risks a significant financial gain when operating costs are less that the standards of performance under the contract
If the service recipient has a purchase option or is required to buy all or part of the facility at a fixed price other than the fair market value
There are three main differences between the special and general rules. The first one is that with the special rules, lower operating costs cannot be passed on to the service recipient. Secondly, the risk of temporary shut down of the facility can be shared by the service recipient. Lastly, all costs and benefits due to changes in the law can be passed on to the service recipient.
Service contracts have less tax downside and less financial risk as well as more even returns over time. Also, the contract must be carefully structured to qualify as a service contract. While it is easier to qualify under the special rules, there are many fewer available facilities. The main tax benefit for classification as a service contract is the allowance for depreciation over 125% of the lease term rather than 125% of the combined lease and service contract terms.
RENTAL CONTRACT
A rental agreement is a contract, usually written, between the owner of a property and a renter who desires to have temporary possession of the property. As a minimum, the agreement identifies the parties, the property, the term of the rental, and the amount of rent for the term. The owner of the property may be referred to as the lessor and the renter as the lessee.

Output of Global Outline Agreements

Dear all,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 and using the Contract Management Scenario. For Global Outline Agreements there is also a Push Button for "Output" available. By clicking currently the message "Output could not be created - Inform System Admin".
Does anyone know what settings are needed to be able to Output Global Outline Agreements from SRM?
Looking forward to your insights!
Thanks,
Claudia

Hi Kristoffer,
thanks for reply!
I am not able to select a medium. Via the "Output Preview" a PDF File is shown. By clicking on the OutPut Button I would expect to get an entry into transaction "Output Contract" from where the contract could be printed. But I am not getting that far. What do I miss?
Many thanks for further input!
Kind regards,
Claudia

How to change Contract Status to Release from Held

Hello SRM Guru,
We are on SRM 5.0. In our production system we have some contract (GOA) which were not automatically trasnferring to backend when we release it (After approval). They are in held status only so we transfer them by FM BBP_pd_CTR_Transfer. But in SRM still the GOA status is held. Could you please suggets how (any table) can I schange contract (GOA) status from held to release manully.
Thanks,

Hi
You can manually change the status of contract from held to released status using FM 'CRM_STATUS_UPDATE'. Enter your status parameters in structure JEST_INS and execute the FM.

SRM 7 Contract Distribution not possible in PPS

Hi all,
We're on SRM 7 / ECC6 EHP3, and activated PPS. I have been told that for PPS the distribution is not supported completely, and hence the functionality is disabled, NOTE 1354971.
My problem is, since we have activated the PPS functionality in all the landscapes we have at present. I can not switch PPS off or refer to another system without the PPS. By reverting the note 1354971, i have only managed to get an assign distribution button active at item level. I would have assumed, the contract/GOA should be able to be distributed at header level. Consider a contract with 1000 items.
Can please someone tell me what is the process for distributing a contract completely. Not just selective items.
Moreover, this does not work, when i have outline items/sub items in the contract.
Regards
Ali

Dear Ali,
Interfaces(XML) which are used to transfered the central contract are not extended to all the fields related to PPS functionality. Eg. Guaranteed Minimum.
These fields will not be transfered to backend and other process like release value updation to the backend contract has limitation as PPS funcalities can be used only in extended classic scenario.
So we have a limitation and also this functionality will not be supported in PPS.
As it was a bug , we have corrected this through the note 1354971.
Nevertheless, you can enable this funcationality and use with the limitation.
You will have to handle this through custom meta data handle where you need to create dynamic class and method and maitain in the customizing table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HC. You can enable the Assign distribution button and link in the dynamic class.
You can check the configuration in the standard meta table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HD for reference.
I hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Lisa

Reports for Contracts - via SQVI or SQ01 -

Dear Gurus
Is it possible to get the following information relating to contracts from either a Quickviewer or Abap Query (fingers crossed) - OR - will I need to have an abap report written for me ??
Selection criteria = sales org, SP, SH, Contract type, Validity period, Material
output =Contract type, number, item, plant, PO no, material number, material description,UOM, target qty and either 'open/remaining qty - or- ordered qty'
The last bit is the most important, and is the bit I am struggling on at present
Many thanks for your help and guidance
Tony

Hi Tony,
You may have to go for Query option in order to club various fields and get contract details;
Else you have another option, use VA45 to list the contracts.

Syed Nasir
