Hi,
I think landscape of your Dev system is different than your Quality system. You need to put an entry of fully qualified domain name in the table I have mentioned.
The entry in the table should look like :-
MANDT         <client name>
SORT KEY      010
PROTOCOL      HTTP
APPLICATN     *
FOR DOMAIN
HOST          <fully qualified domain name>
PORT          80
If you are using a web dispatcher or reverse proxy server in your landscape, then there should also be an entry for http header.
Thanks

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.

PO Creation error after processing bid invitation

Hi Guys,
I need small help from you. I have created one bid invitation with out shopping cart. I had processed the bid invitation. Few vendors have submitted their bids. Purchaser had accepted those bid and approver had approved those bids. Now I have the option to "Generate PO" and "Create contract".

I am unable to process further. Please help me. I have maintained PO number range in both the systems means in R/3 and SRM. Transaction types are also maintained in both the system. What else settings I need to configure?
if i click on "Create contract" buttion then I am able to create Contract in SRM system in held state. When this Purchasing contract will be copy to Backend system? once I chance the Contract status to release then this will be copied to backend?
My requirement is to create Purchase Order ?
Regards

Hi
Please provide your system version details.
In the bid invitation, the Follow-On Document field must contain the entry Purchase Order or Contract.
· In the case of bid invitations that are created manually, purchase orders are local only (product category is not relevant). In the case of direct material purchase orders, a copy (that cannot be changed) is created in the backend. Whether or not it concerns direct material needs to be stated in the item details in the bid invitation. You must specify the goods recipient and purchasing group. Also:
-> Outline levels can be displayed in a local purchase order
-> Bid invitation texts, bid texts, and documents are transferred to the purchase order (however not internal notes).
Also refer to this link for configuartion settings ->

In [Process Bid Invitation], How to customize button[Output Preview]

Hi,Guys
Now, I need to display the window created by my own SMARTFORM,while I push the button [Output Preview] .
How to customize?
Thank you.

Hi,
Create your own smartform via trx SMARTFORM.
Then implement BADI BBP_CHG_SF_BID to switch from the standard smartform
calling to the custom one. Just specify the custom smartform name in the BADI
and activate the BADI.
Please ensure, this Standard Smartform - BBP_BIDINV_BID gets called here.... Depending on your SRM System version
Please try this Sample code.
codemethod IF_EX_BBP_CHANGE_SF_BID~CHANGE_SMARTFORM .
IF SMARTFORM = 'BBP_BIDINV_BID'. " Standard Smartform
SMARTFORM = 'ZBBP_BIDINV_BID'. " Call your Customer Smart form
endmethod.[/code]

Product category comes blank IN BID INVITATION process of SRM

Hi Gurus,
   We are using the SRM Ssystem to process BID invitation.In this it uses the R3MMEXTRACT to get the product catalog information.The Information is fetched from R/3 using the RFC BBP_CATEGORY_GET_GUID.
The data which is fetched from R/3 is then transferred to SRM.but when the data is transfrred for some particular material groups the Product category comes blank.This happens in the case where the material group exists in two or more systems and the the function module is not able to identify from which system it is has to fetch the data.
Can anybody please help me with this.
this code is implemnted in the class ZCL_IM_CATALOG_CONTENT which is the class implemnted for BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
DETERMINE THE LOGICAL SYSTEM FOR THE ITEMS
LOOP AT catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content.
    MOVE wa_catalog_content-cust_field3 TO ls_logical_system.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT et_sc_item_data INTO wa_et_sc_item_data.
    READ TABLE catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content

      wa_et_sc_item_data-category_id = lv_matgroup.
cAN ANYBODY HELP ME IN THIS,...

Hi there,
If you have 2 backends, is there any way you can find out which backend this is supposed to be coming from?
FUNCTION com_category_get_guid
    FUNCTION com_category_get_guid_ol
ELSE.
-------logsys is unknown -> read all categories with this ID------
You could have a look through the code and possibly debug it and see
                FUNCTION com_category_get_guid_db.
                        FORM get_guid_by_id_multisys
table COMM_CATEGORY
Hope this helps.

Standard process for PO creation from Bid Invitation or Bid

Hi everybody,
I would like to know what is the standard process to create local Purchase Order (i mean in a extended classic scenario) from Bid Invitation or Quotation.
In the current process, Bid Invitation are created form Shopping Cart using Sourcing Cockpit. Then, Purchaser will send its Bid to supplier (by publishing Bid Invitation) using BBP_BID_INV transaction.
Then, supplier will submit its Bid.
At this step, what it is the standard process (does it exist ?) to create a Purchase Order linked to this Bid ?
The need is to have a PO as follow-on document to Bid.
Thank you to clarify this point.
Regards.
Laurent Burtaire.

Hi,
After the bids are submitted and when the bid invitation opening date arrives, there will be a map for you to compare the bids received.
To see this map, go to BBP_BID_INV transaction and the map will be there when you search your document.
When you click on this map, you will find one column for each of the companies that sent quotations.
You can click on the company's name and then you need to click on button 'Accept', in order to accept the company's quotation.
Then you click on 'Refresh'.
Then you click on 'Create Purchase Order' or 'Create Contract'.
In order for that to happen, you must have defined number ranges and document types for bid invitation, quotation and purchase order.
Let me know if it helped.
Regards,
Henrique

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?

Send e-mail to Vendors when Close Bid Invitation

I have a issue with SRM.
In Process BID Invitation, when the Bid is close by the button action "Close", Is possible to send an e-mail to the selected vendors, advising them about the closure of the BID invitation? Can I do this thru any BADI or another solution?
I think that in Auction, when I CLOSE them, an email is send to the vendors. Am I correct about this?
Can anyone please tell me how I can solve this problem?
This problem can be the Configuration? Is a SRM Problem or ABAP Problem?
Modaration Please, if this question is an incorrect forum, check and move to the appropriate.

BID invitation publishing authorisation

Hi,
When we select " Process Bid invitation" in EBP, we have find button through which we can filter the Bid invitations and open the same. But it lists even the Bid invitations which i am not authorised.
For ex.
Bid invitations created by "P1" purchasing group are Bid1, Bid2 & Bid3.
Bid invitations cerated by "P2" purchasing group are Bid 11, Bid12 & Bid13.
P1 purchaser can open the Bid invitations (Bid11,Bid12 & Bid13)created by P2 and can publish. Is there any control in org.structure or it is only through authorisation objects.
There is a selection criteria "My Bid invitations". But it can be used to open only my bid invitations not restricting others to open my bids.
Regards,
Prasanna

go to PFCG
Create a new role for Example ZBR01_EC_BBP_OP_RM1
BR01 is a plant
RM1 is a pruchase group
and go to authorisation and display authorisation data . then go to organisational levels and maintain purchase group , purchase organisation.

The sender of the bid invitation

Hi gurus,
     Why the sender of the bid invitation to the suppliers turns to the approver after the bid invitation has been released. how to change to the creator of the bid invitation?
      I mean the email.
      thank you very much.

Hi wang,
There are two ways a bidder can receive / send his bid. One is via mail and the other by looging into portal using his own user i.d & password provided by the purchaser.
As mentioned by Yeu Sheng Teo the bidder gets a mail whenever a bid invitation is sent to him / her.
He then logs on to portal with his user i.d & password and selects the bid invitation and submits his bid which the purchaser can access using Process Bid Invitation link and the status against the particular bidder shows a bid submitted under Bidder / Bids tab.
You maintain the contact person for bidder / vendor using personal data tab in Manage Business Partners link.There you choose employee as contact person and maintain User i.d & password and communicate the same to vendor / bidder.
Hope this makes you more clear.
Award points for helpful answers.

Using BBP_CUF_BADI to display custom screen in bid Invitation

Hello Everyone,
I have a requirement of enhancing Process Bid Invitation, adding customer fields.
I hv added the fields but I want to change the layout of added customer screen.
I tried to implement BBP_CUF_BADI, but it doesnt seem to work.It still shows the field one below the other.
I hv also read notes 458591 and 672960.
I would like to hv step by step instructions of steps to be followed.
Thanks in advance for the help. Please revert ASAP.
Regards,
Kunal

Hello, BBP_CUF_BADI is used to handle the vizualization of the customer fields, i.e. with BBP_CUF_BADI you can decide if you want a field to be displayed and if it has the read-only attribute, customer fields are displayed using a table control, the layout of the customer fields is rendered using a template that expands the line of the control table and map those fields with a name-value logic.
If you want to customize the layout of the screen you will have to rewrite the templates contained in the internet service BBPCUF.
Regards, Luciano.

Process Bid as Substitute---Contact Person Mandatory?

Dear Experts,
Our customer won't like to use SUS to process Bid but they need to use 'Bid Invitation' as RFQ. It seems the purchaser need to use function 'process bid as Substitute' to matintain the quotation. My question is:
1、Is purchaser have to use function 'process bid as Substitute' ? Any other way to maintain the quotation?
2、If purchaser have to use function 'process bid as Substitute' , is contact person mandatory for each bidder? We have to mass create contact person for every protential bidder?
Many thanks.

Hi Darcy,
There are two transactions to submit surrogate bids and are below:
To do this, the purchaser goes into the transaction Process Bid as Substitute, searches for a contact person and creates the bid for the bid invitation in question.
1) BBP_QUOT_BOB - Process Surrogate Bid
Here you have to select the contact person of a bidder first for submitting a surrogate bid
The purchaser can also bid as substitute within an existing bid invitation by using the Bid as Substitute functions provided in the bidder list
2)BBP_BID_INV - Process Bid Invitation
Here you have to navigate to
Header Data -> Bidders / Bids
-> Here for all bidders with contact person and who have permitted surrogate bidding, you click "Create Quotation for Bidder" button at the right hand side.
Hope this is clear. But a contact person is required in both cases.
Regards
Kathirvel
