Preferred Supplier/Supplier in Shopping Cart

Hi,
I am working on SRM 7.0 Classic scenario. I have a question about te difference between Preferred Supplier/Supplier in Shopping Cart. We are not maintaining any Vendore Lists. Both options lead to select a supplier but only in Supplier option there is also a button named Assign Supplier. Even when I assign supplier it is still not considered as a fixed supplier (PO is not created in ECC). In this case what is the difference with choosing a preferred supplier or just supplier and assigning it?
Thank you in advance,
Asli

Hi,
When you use a Preferred Vendor/Supplier and the product category is set for sourcing then this SC will still go to the sourcing cockpit. The preferred vendor is looked at like a suggestion to the Purchaser. Then when the Purchaser sources this SC in the sourcing cockpit they can fully assign this vendor or choose a different one.
When you choose the source of supply in the shopping cart as a vendor with a contract, eg a Full vendor then this SC will not go to sourcing. A PO will be created for this SC as the follow-on document.
I hope this help,
Kind Regards,
Lisa

Hello Lisa,
We have the exact problem described above and applied 1656774 but did not resolve the issue. You indicated that there is a prerequisite. And wow do we find out the prerequisites?
While apply the following errror was being noticed
Syntax error
Class /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_DOM_SOSCO_GAF2, Method REFRESH_ROWS
FORMAL parameter “IV_NO_EXTN_FIELDS” does not exist.
Detail
Erros Description Formal parameter “IV_NO_EXTN_FIELDS” does not exist

Okay – this is an update – The fix would work but you want to make sure that 1576240 has to be first implemented and then only you can implement 1656774. The issue is resolved.

Automatic Po creation from shopping cart

Dear All,
I found that this issue has been discussed many time, but all the messages are talking about split criteria.
When I create a shopping cart with mulitple items (all the items are just copy of first item...... no question of split criteria) and without vendor, one held PO gets automatically created for each item once the shopping cart has been approved.
As vendor is not there in the shopping cart, it is creating held POs. But one Po is getting created for one item.
Recently we connected our development and sandbox system to new upgraded backend systems (4.6c to ECC 6). After that only, this issue is occuring in both the SRM systems. I am not sure how far upgrade is relevant to this issue. But before that, once the shopping cart has been approved, it will go to "Carryout sourcing" and buyer will assign a vendor and create one PO for all the items. Po will get replicated to backend system (extended classic). This is happening in our production system now.
While connecting to a new system, I am not sure whether I have missed out any settings. Or the issue is with ECC 6 upgrade.
Could you please help me asap as we are approaching the go-live date?
Thanks,
Arun

Masa,
There is no source of supply in the shopping cart. Beacuse of that held PO is getting created.
But my question is, it should not even create the PO. Once the shopping cart has been approved, it should go to carry out sourcing where buyer will assign the vendor and creates the PO.
Now, it is directly creating the PO.
Thanks,
Arun

Error during creation of shopping cart

Hi All,
I am creating a shopping cart on behalf of user. Initially, vendor was not coming up. Then i saw, in the user organisation str. pur grp is not maintained. I maintained the same and now the vendor list is coming up but when i select the vendor, the following error comes:
System Error: Sources of Supply (SAPLBBP_SC_APP) (Item test-elizabeth )
System Error: Sources ofSupply (SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS) (Item test-elizabeth )
Please choose a vendor from the approved list (Item test-elizabeth )
i checked for the user consistency, it is ok. then i checked for the contract of the vendor with the product category, it is also valid. the vendor is also not blocked. i dont understand why the error is coming up.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
do you use vendor list?
Please see the F4 help of the vendor list customizing:
Define Sourcing via Vendor List Only
Use
In this activity, you can define that source of supply determination for shopping carts or limit shopping carts created by an employee is carried out exclusively via the vendor list. Otherwise, the system considers all available sources of supply.
This Customizing setting does not affect purchase orders.
In addition, a search help for sources of supply is provided for limit shopping carts. If you use this IMG activity to define that source of supply determination is carried out exclusively via the vendor list, only one search help is provided for the vendor list. In other cases, a general vendor search help is provided.

Peter

BR,
sss

Hi
It happens due to there is no valid source of supply in the shopping cart or as well as no configuration on Sourcing.
ask user to assign valid source of supply like contract / inforecord in the source of supply folder in the shopping card. then PO will be created after approving the shopping cart.

FM/Badi for simulating shopping cart conversion

Hi Folks,
Pls suggest me a relevant Function module or BADI which we can use to simulate the Shopping cart conversion to PR in SRM 5.0 Classic scenario before save it. It is required to capture the errors when shopping cart is trying to convert it into PR in ECC after approval in advance.
Please advice whether it is feasible.
Regards
TGB

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/Howtoanalyzethefollow-ondocumentdetermination
why PR is geting created
what about the settings in Define backend objects?
or
what about source of supply in the shopping cart - Fixed vendor?
Re: SRM 7.0: Classic Scenario no PO is created only PR is generated

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.

Is it possible to make Supplier field Mandatory in Shopping Cart (SRM7.0)?

Hi Experts,
We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.
We are only using Shopping Cart functionality and most of the Material and services will have Contract & Pur. Info Records in ECC B/E system.
in SRM, if any Product don't have any SoS , then user can assign Supplier code and Price manually in S/C and Classic PO creates automatically. But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it.
If there is NO any SoS ( ECC Contract or Pur Info Record) exist , then user MUST have to enter Supplier code & price manually and so we want to set the fields SUPPLIER & PRICE MANDATORY.
Is it Possible ? if yes , then how this can be done ?
Thanks

But if User missed to enter Supplier code then, in that case we neither want to sent the S/C to the Sourcing Cockpit nor want to create ECC PR from it. - If the REQUESTIONER enter prefered vendor - it can create only PR IF NO SOURCING . if REQUESTIOTIONER selected fixed vendor - Then PO created .
here you are giving more control to REQUISITIONER department than Purchasing department.

you can validate any field to make mandatory...and spit error by doc check BADI.

Though business allows REQUISITIONER wants to create PO directly from the shopping cart without BUYER intervention and WITHOUT Fixed vendor . no issues . Asimple logic to change preferred vendor 39 to fixed vendor 19 logic by doc change badi
so whenever REQUESTIONER assign a preffered vendor it can create a Purchase order.
Assigning source of supply decision is very critical to business . Business wants always it should be competetive best price.
Hope you understand ..

SRM 4.0: Source of Supplier not copying in line item on Shopping Cart

We are using SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup and currently experiencing a problem with the source of supplier not being copied on line items. The user stated that when copying a line items in a shopping cart the source of supplier is not copying to the new line. It happens sometimes but not everytime the client uses the line copy option.
It was initially thought that based on the amount of the line item (>=$25,000) that would cause the source of supplier (vendor) not to copy to the new line item but it has been verified by client that is not the case. If anyone has seen this issue and know of what the root cause could be please let me know.
Thanks

Yann,
Actually this is occurring when the user is creating a shopping cart from scratch. He added a line item either from catalog or free text, sources the item and then uses the copy function to copy the line item. When the client does this the item is copied but the vendor disappears from the 2nd line item and client has to add it again.
So that OSS notes doesn't apply unless I'm missing something.

Hi all,
We would like to a add a new custom field in 'Source of supply/Service Agents' section of shpping cart item level. Could anyone let us know in which structure do we need to add a field to show up on the shopping cart screen?
When we append a structure with that one field in BBP_PDS_SC_ITEM_ICU and BBPS_CUF_ITEM, it is showing up in 'basic data' but we want that in 'source of supply/service agents' area of the item.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Duplicate Shopping Cart line items - Supplier doesnt get copied ?

Hi,
we are on SRM7 extended classic scenario and while we use the "Duplicate" option to copy the existing line items in a shopping cart then the supplier doesn't get copied to new line item, field remains blank? is it a standard behaviour?
what are the steps needed to make this happen ? appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Maverick

Hi
In SRM , if you copy the line item all item data must copy including suppliers.
step by step tell us
like
1 create a shopping cart describe requirement
2. manually assigned a source of supply - assigned a vendor
3. copy the line item into another one
4. in the latest line item supplier was not copied.
The behavior of copying/pasting or duplicating items in a SC is different depending on the status of the SC
Note 1137292 - Inconsistency when duplicating items
