Problems with bid invitations

We have implemented SRM 5.0 classic scenario
Our Shopping carts are ever transfered to R/3 System as a purchase requisitions.
I would like to know step by step how can create a purchase order or a contract in R/3 starting on a bid invitation selecting a quotation (without starting from a shopping cart).
Thanks in advance,
Horacio Miranda

Hi Miranda,
within a classic environment, there needs to be a Shopping Cart or a R/3 Req in order to be able to generate a PO from a Bid Invitation. Logically there needs to be a demand for which a Sourcing Event is done to have a working process. No purchaser is supposed to make sourcing events just for fun.
Starting a Bid Invitation from scratch in a classic scenario, makes only a local (SRM) PO possible.
For a contract it is a different story. By implementing Badi BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE you can tell the system to directly create the contract in SRM. Make all the settings for contract management scenario (doc type, number range in SRM and in R/3, follow on doc settings for BID, Badi BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE, etc.) and a contract can be created directly in R/3.
Cheers,
Claudia

Problem with bid invitation attachment

When I put an attachment at headerlevel on the bid invitation, I also found it on item level. This also happens whith vendor text and internal note.
So there's no difference between attachment on header and item level. The same for the texts.
Do you why this is happening ?
Thanks in advanced !
Caroline

Can you please also advise what format the attachment is in, eg: pdf, mp3, jpg etc?

Problem with the invitations that my ical sends

When recipients to my ical invitation receive their email, they are unable to add the invite to their calendar apps and the attachment doesn't work. Sometimes when they try to open the attachment, it even crashes their outlook.
I sent an invite to myself to test and I got this in the body of the email:

I would like to chime in on this issue, becaue at my company, we are having the same problem. Here is more detail:
I work for a small analytical consulting firm in Northern Virginia. We have about 80 employees, and we are a dual-platform company. Two of our three managing partners are huge Mac fans, and our head IT guy is also a die-hard Mac user, so the company goes out of its way to support Mac users. Employees are offered a choice as to whether or not they want to use a Mac or a PC when they start work here. We have about 20 Mac users, and it seems like the percentage of Mac employees has been growing over the past year.
Almost all of us who use Macs use Mail instead of Entourage. We do not operate an Exchange server (too expensive), so instead our e-mail system is an IMAP server. This arrangement works great most of the time -- most of the Mac users use Mail, the Windows users all use Outlook. One annoying problem we frequently run into, however, is meeting invitations. If a Windows user schedules a meeting from their Outlook, and sends out the meeting invitation via e-mail, everyone can get it no problem - Mac and Windows users.
However, if a Mac user tries to schedule a meeting in their copy of iCal, and send out the meeting invitation vial e-mail, Mac users can get it just fine, but the Windows users just get an e-mail with a .ics file attached that they cannot open. Interestingly enough, if the same Mac user sends the invitations out from within Entourage, the Windows users can open it just fine. This sets up the ridiculous situation whereby we Mac users are forced to use Entourage whenever we want to set up a meeting, then go back to Mail/iCal. Its crazy and frustrating to have to go back and forth between two separate e-mail programs. We also use a program called XC Connect to share calendars and task lists, and it is dog slow with Entourage, so that is why most of us prefer to stay away from it.
From what I can gather, the problem stems from the fact that Microsoft did not implement the official iCal file standard correctly. I'm sure Apple's position is "Why should we deviate from the accepted standard just to play nicely with Outlook? The problem is on there end -- let them fix it." I can understand that position, but it really doesn't help us folks in the real world who are banging our heads against this problem every day.
This seems like an ideal problem for some enterprising shareware developer to solve. I've heard that it may be possible to write an AppleScript that would automatically re-format the .ics invitation before sending it out to make it compatible, but have not been able to find any such AppleScript on the web. However, the best solution would probably be an actual plug-in for the Mail program to build the functionality into Mail itself.
Surely there is a solution to this problem that does not involve switching to Entourage?
Can any one help?

Process Bid Invitation status problem

Hi Experts,
I am working on SRM Standalone.
I have a problem in bid invitation.
In Process Bid Invitation
1.I have accepted the bid by using 'Check Bid' option.
2.While i was checking the 'Bid status' it is showing as 'Awaiting approval' even though bid was accepted.
Kindly suggest me why exactly this is happing.
Regards,
Chandu.

Hi Chandu,
I feel that you must be using SRM 5.0 system.
Please use SAP Note 962488 and follow the function module they have provided to correct this issue.
This problem is occuring due to workflow definition.
To check this problem go to transaction PFTC
Task Type WS Workflow template
Task 79000003
go inside transaction,click on workflow builder and you will get status message as Workflow definition is not in version 0000.
You may require some basis or abap person help to fix this.

Vendor not able to see bid invitations created one day before

Hi friends,
We are workig with SRM5.0 SP08. I have observed that vendors are not able to see bid invitations processed one day before.
Could you pls suggest the probable reason, if anybody has come across similar problem? Bid invitation version is active and can be seen with purchasers login.
Your responses will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Marcin,
all these bid invitation statuses are not closed. its published only. The problem is bidder is not able to see bid invitations with dates in the past.
Dinesh,
Ur right. There is also problem with search functionality. In fact I can display list of bid invitations only if I am not giving any search criteria.

Bid Invitation confirmation Text

Hi,
I am working on SRM 5.0
I got a problem at bid invitation approvals for Non-Catalog items.
Once Non-Catalog SC approves by all approvers then buyer is going to add the bidders.
After adding the bidders it is going for approval to concerned approver. for this mail also sending to bid approver.
When bid approver is login into SRM front-end and click on Approve button. It is asking for confirmation with Yes & No buttons without any text above these Yes No buttons.
Is it standard one or tell me where exactly this text was maintained and how can we check & modify.
Regards,
Chandu
Edited by: Chandu Valluri on Oct 8, 2008 12:54 AM

Hi,
This is not my solution.
Let me explain clearly
1. After SC created, Buyer will add Bidders.
2. Click on approval preview.
3. It will be showing one concerned approver for Ex: ( MGR1)
4. A mail will be sending to MGR1.
5. After that MGR1 should log in and clicked on " approve all items " button.
6. In the next screen it is asking final confirmation with YES/NO buttons.
Here my requirement is " I need to be displayed a text above these buttons(YES/NO) ".
So, Where do i need to do that, I mean where it is maintianing.
Please do the needful...!
I will be very much grateful to you..!

Chandu

Sending documents for Bid Invitation

Hi All,
What type of documents can we send with Bid Invitation? What are the advantages using cFolders with Bid Invitations.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Foll are the settings reqd:
--.define a LS for cFolders( you have to duplicate SRM LS if it is on the same server)
-->define an RFC destination for this system (even if same as SRM)
-->define a backend system of type cFolders in SRM SPRO
-->activate SICF cFolders service (with external alias)
Normally the collaboration area should be displayed in document tab in the Bid inv screen.

Bidder Not able to filter Bid Invitations with custom fields

Dear Community,
Need some ABAP help.
Know many experts are in our community.
We have added 3 custom fields to the Bid Invitation and Bid header
Coded Badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2 for them to appear in the Search criteria for Find Bid Invitation for both the logins(purchaser and bidder).
The custom fields now appear in the Extended search for both.
These custom fields extract values from custom tables.
But we found that the search criteria seems to be filtering Bid Invitations only in the Process Bid Invitation screen(Find Bid Invitation) of the purchaser login.
Template: bbp_bid_inv/99/saplbbp_bid_inv_1010.html
And NOT filtering Bid Invitations in the Process Bid screen(Find Bid Invitations and Auctions) of the Bidder login.
bbp_quot/99/saplbbp_quot_ui_its_1010.html
The ABAPer has already incuded the custom fields in structures INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID and INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_QUOT,
What is required in addition so that the search criteria will work in the Bidder login as well??
Thanks in Advance,
Dinesh
(Will appreciate with points)

Thanks, Disha.
We have alreday activated BBP_WF_LIST
and tried some code in method
BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO
but did not help us.
Can you suggest any specific code to try?
You are right for template modification for values of this custom fields.
If we do that Bidder CAN filter the BI correctly with these values of custom fields.
But customer does not want that way because in future the values would be changing.
and so it would be an additional task to correct templates.
Also they have to redo these changes with every upgrade.
So we are fetching the values from custom tables for these custom fields.
Would like to again draw the attention towards purchaser's search with these custom fields.
Why purchaser can search correctly with these custom fields fetching values from custom tables?
Can we debug or take any hint from there?
Any futher thoughts?

Already raised an OSS for this issue.

Problem in creating follow-on document (RFQ) for a bid invitation.

Hi Experts,
We have an issue while creating follow-on document(RFQ) for a bid invitation.
Process is as follows :
We have a bid invitation and sent it to two vendors. After this, created two responses one is accepted and another one is rejected.
Now the accepted bid is ready to "Create follow-on Document(RFQ)". But when we do this, the bid with rejected vendor also including in the follow-on document. This should not be the case.
The follow-on document should include only the accepted bid, but not the rejected bid.
Could anyone tell me how to achieve this ?
Thank you very much in advance.

As far as I understand, what you described is the standard behavior. ALL undeleted vendors are copied over to the follow-on RFQ regardless if their bids have been rejected or not. What you can do is to implement BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for BUS2200 and explicitly remove the vendors which created rejected bids. Make use of the header field "copy_of_guid" to identify the originated RFQ.
