Prefered Vendor Serach Help

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in using the prefered vendor search help.
When I create a SC and go to sources of supply serach help and on click on start I get few BP numbers.
The problem comes when on selecting on any BP numbers (hyperlink)...it does not transfer to SOS screen ,prefered vendor field
Kindly Suggest what could be the problem .
Regards
Bidyut

Hello,
You can verify if note 1391524 helps you.
In this case, an External Service Staff- Order has been inserted in the cart and assigning a vendor via search help does not work.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

How to change Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor in SC - SRM-5.0

SRM Experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 and PI-7.0.
We are using classic scenario in SRM. When user selects the vendor with Outline agreement in SOS tab then SC creates PO in backend system because it has Fixed Vendor otherwise SC creates PR in the backend system.
We have a new requirement in SRM to create PO instead of PR in the backend system if Purchasing Org=5xxx and total value of SC is less than USD 5XXX and Vendor is a Preferred Vendor in the SC.
Do I need to use the Check Document BADI to check the total value of the SC and to check whether it is a Preferred Vendor and then in the Change Document BADI, change the value from Preferred Vendor to the Fixed Vendor before SC is saved?
OR someone has any other suggestions on this?
Which BADI is called first Check Document or Change Document before saving the SC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Atul/Disha,
I sent you my code and problem in detail at your email address.
Here is the requirement for Changing Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor. We are on SRM 5.0 and using classic scenario. I am new to SRM world. I also checked the note- 962474 in our system and it has been applied. We upgraded to SRM 5.0 in Oct-07.
1.     My client has customization for sources of supply tab. It shows the vendor information in SOS tab based Product category, Plant and Purchasing group selected in the SC. If SC contains Vendor with Outline agreement then SC creates PO in the backend system. So in Change BADI logic for new enhancement of converting Preferred vendor into Fixed Vendor should not change anything in the SC using Outline agreement.
2.     We have created Custom table-zsrm_fix_vend with fields, purchasing group, company code, currency and total value.
3.     We need to convert the preferred vendor into fixed vendor
    if the SCs 1st line item purchasing group = zsrm_fix_vend-ekorg and
             SCs 1st line item company code = zsrm_fix_vend-bukrs     and
           SCs currency = zsrm_fix_vend-currency                   and
           SCs Total value less than(<)zsrm_fix_vend-totalvalue.
My testing results and problems
1.     When I create a new SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PO in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
2.     When I create a new SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is NOT changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PR in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
3.     When I use Outline agreement in the SC, it is creating PO in the backend so change BADI logic is not affecting this existing functionality which is good.
4.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the greater value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the fixed vendor to the preferred vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
5.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the lessser value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the preferred vendor to the fixed vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
6.     When I copy the SC with Outline Agreement and change the amount it works all the time it is not affected by the change document BADI which is good.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Millions thanks to you!

'Preferred Vendor' and 'Vendor' in Purchase Order Partner Overview screen

Hello All,
Please can you provide me with some assistance to the following issue we have on our SRM 5.0 system......here goes.....
In 'Define Sourcing for Product Categories config' , we have set the value to 'Sourcing is never carried out'. Now, when we manually assign a Supplier to the Cart and have it automatically converted to a Purchase Order, the Purchase Order is created but only in Held Status as only the 'Preferred Vendor' in the PO Partner Overview screen is populated with the other 'Vendor' field remaining blank and requiring manual intervention by our users
Please can someone explain how we are able make the system to always have the 'Vendor' field populated, therefore not needing any manual intervention.
Your help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Steve Walsh Jnr

Hi
Implement the following method , in which you will force prefer vendor
to fixed vendor for all applicable sc.
IF_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI~BBP_SC_change.
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 should create a po instead of
incomplete po.

Convert preferred vendor to fixed vendor

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a preferred vendor to fixed vender using BAdI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
I use the following coding:
LS_HEADER           = ES_HEADER.
LT_ITEM[]           = ET_ITEM[].

LT_PARTNER[]        = ET_PARTNER[].
LT_ORGDATA[]        = ET_ORGDATA[].
LT_HCF[]            = ET_HCF[].
LT_ICF[]            = ET_ICF[].
if sy-tcode = 'BBPSC08'.          "Completion Workflow

    loop at et_item into ls_item.

Maybe anybody can help.

Preferred Vendors for Product Category

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0, Classic Scenario.
My client wants a list of preferred suppliers that need to be maintained for a product category. So that whenever the requester selects the product category, he should get the list of preferred vendors for that product category.
Thanks
Ron

Hi,
How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

Automatic Workload Distribution (category + preferred vendor)

Dear Experts,
My current client needs to automatically distribute Shopping Carts and External Requirements based on a combination of product category and preferred vendor. Do you know any BADI or any possible way to do this without modifying the code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
You can try BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED.

Shopping Cart Split and Preferred Vendor

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5, in Extended Classic Scenario.
I add a service item in my Shopping Cart by using the describe requirement in transaction BBPSC03, I assign a Preferred Vendor to this item and I duplicate it by using the Copy button.
When I order the Shopping Cart, this gives me 2 Purchase Orders? I don't understand why because the 2 items are identical. Is there something in the customizing which has to be set up? I would like to have only one Purchase Order created if items are identical.
Thanks for your help,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
The preferred vendor is not the assigned vendor. SO the vendor needs to be assigned during the sourcing.
As far as splitting is concerned check whether any BADI is active like BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI where split criteria is maintained.
Please check the related thread and the OSS notes mentioned in it for better understanding of the issue.
Re: SCs split into multiple POs, duplicate POs and PO items in reverse c/ to SC
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving the issue.

Automatic PO with preferred vendor

Hi all.
We Have SRM 5.0 ECS
I need to generate an automatic PO from a SC, this contains like source of supply the Preferred Vendor and price, in this type of purchase I do not use contracts
This is possible?

Hi Raul,
As it is clear from your statement that you are not using Contracts and you are talking about Free Form text Shopping Carts where you can enter Prefferred Vendor. You need to implement Doc Change BAdI to convert this preferred Vendor to fixed Vendor so that after approval Shopping Cart creates a PO.
Here is the sample code we had implemented for the very same purpose
BAdI BBP_DOC_CHANGE
METHOD if_ex_bbp_doc_change_badi~bbp_sc_change.
data: ls_partner type BBP_PDS_PARTNER.
loop at et_partner into ls_partner.
    if ls_partner-partner_fct = '00000039'. "Preferred vendor
      ls_partner-partner_fct = '00000019'. "Fixed vendor
      modify et_partner from ls_partner.
   endif.
endloop.
ENDMETHOD.
Thanks

Global Preferred Vendor

Currently in my database I have about 3000 items that all come from the same vendor is there any way to do a global preferred vendor change instead of going to each item and typing in the vendors BP code?.
All items are under the same item group name

Go to Administration--> Data Import/Export --> Import Data -->Import from Excel --> Data Type --> Item
Select Columns Item Code,Item Group,Preferred Vendor.
Enter datas in excel sheet as per selected columns SAP Item code,Item Group number,Preferred Vendor(ie., Card Code)
Find item group number from query
SELECT T0.ItmsGrpCod, T0.ItmsGrpNam FROM OITB T0
If u already created item master,Tick mark Update existing object only.
After filling in excel sheet,Save it in text tab delimited format.Close excel sheet,
Click Ok.This will import/update item master.

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.

Preferred Vendor Message

We are using SRM 7.0. I have a user that is getting the following error message when they are trying to order their cart:
Enter no more than one partner of type Preferred Vendor
I see the vendor on the line item. But, when I look in the SRM GUI under BBP_PD, the preferred vendor is listed twice. I have tried to replicate the issue but I'm not exactly sure what the user may be doing. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this message would be appearing and how to fix it?
We have a program that enters the preferred vendor on the other lines if there are multiple lines so that the user does not have to enter it each time. But, I have not heard of this issue from any other users.

On the initial screen in BBP_PD, the partner section shows the following:
0000000001 00000039       Preferred Vendor               47C3756071100CCEE100000080F91715
0000000001 00000039       Preferred Vendor               47C3756071100CCEE100000080F91715
I checked both entries and notice the following difference between them:
MAINPARTNER                                                                                Main Partner (For Ambiguous Partner Functions)               (''=Incorrect)
For the second entry, there is an X for MAINPARTNER, where X is = true.
For the other lines on the cart, preferred vendor only shows up once on the initial screen, and the mainpartner has X in the field.
Not sure if this helps or not.

Preferred Vendor

Hi All,
I am trying to set some of the Vendors as preferred Vendor for a Product category. Could you please help me how to do this? Whats the t-code for this?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards

Hello,
To be clear...
As written by Muthuraman, vendor list gives fixed vendors for product categories.
You want to have a preferred vendor for a list of product categories. So, there is no transaction to answer to your request.
One alternative, is to use vendor list and then implement BAdI i mentioned.
Regards.
Laurent.
