Process followon docs in SRM

Hi friends,
SRM provides a functionality of allowing bidders to add items in a bid. This can be done by purchaser during RFQ preparation by marking a check box "Allow bidders to add items".
Now when the bidder adds items in the bid and we want to post the PO in backend (extended classic scenario), how does it work for new items?
I think we will have to create master records for all these newly added items, if does not exist in R/3 backend.
If its a free text item, then do we need to create material master in SRM / R/3 backend?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Prashant

Hi Nikhil,
you can get all these information on link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/61/c3833cfa3dbc2ce10000000a114027/frameset.htm
Free text purchase will be done using some meterial group and you can create follow on document using those free text items.you donot material master as such.
I donot have any idea about how you have configured your tax and other stuff in backend system.
But I donot think,you require to have material master if BID is with free text.

  • Process Level Config in SRM 7.0 workflow

    Hi,
    I am implementing Process-controlled workflow in SRM 7.0 for the first time. We have identified some 5 levels of approver depending on the total shopping Cart value.
    1. >= $XXX; Product Category manager (based on UNSPSC code at item level)
    2. >= $x,xxx: Line manager
    3. >= $xx,xxx; Cost Center manager (based on cost center)
    and so on ..
    As per my understanding,
    First we need to create following Filter values for RESP_RESOLVER_NAME:
    ZSC_PRODUCTCAT_MANAGER
    RR_MANAGER
    ZSC_COSTCTR_MANAGER
    Then, based on these filter the following BAdi implementations will be called to get responsible approver list:
    ZSRE_BD_SC_PRO_MGR
    /SAPSRM/BD_WF_SC_RR_MANAGER
    ZSRE_BD_SC_CCR_MGR
    and the process level may have the following entries for BUS2121, Zevalution ID & Zprocess schema:
    Level #     Level Type     Evaluation ID     Responsibility Resolver Name                     Task ID     Decision Type
    100     Approval     ZEV_SC_001     ZSC_PRODUCTCAT_MANAGER     40007953     4
    150     Approval     ZEV_SC_002     RR_MANAGER     40007953     4
    200     Approval     ZEV_SC_003     ZSC_COSTCTR_MANAGER     40007953     4
    999 automatic
    Create the custom events & expressions:
    Evaluation ID                          Expression                          SAP formula builder
    ZEV_SC_001     ZE_SC_LEVEL_001     Total Shopping Cart value exceeds $ XXX
    ZEV_SC_002     ZE_SC_LEVEL_002     Total Shopping Cart value exceeds $ X,XXX
    ZEV_SC_003     ZE_SC_LEVEL_003     Total Shopping Cart value exceeds $ XX,XXX
    Question:
    Am I going in the correct way..or
    Can we do it using SAP standard events, expressions or spending limit approver badi implementation with only one process level for RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER, using some custom tables for Product Cat manger/Cost Center manager list.

    Hi all,
    I have a client requirement like below,
    A PO is in ordered status and if some one chages the PO value and if the changed value is more than 1000 Euros then the PO has to go through the approval process else it should go for an automatic approval.
    Can any of you please guide me how to acheive this functionality.
    Just for reference I am giving some details :
    I have created an Eval Id (ZEVAL, this is the event), and this event linked to a expression(ZDET_SCHEMA: Function module for determining the schema), and I have 2 process levels for the schema
    1 Level will have folowing details:
    Level # Level Type Evaluation ID Responsibility Resolver Name Task ID Decision Type
    100        Approval       ZE_PO_EXE                      ZE_PO_APP 40007953 4
    and the evalutio id ZE_PO_EXE  points to an expression(ZDET_PO_CALC Function module) ZDET_PO_CALC Function module will have the actual manipulation for calculating the price change and passes a result 'X' or space , if 'X' level 100 will get excecuted else level 2 will be executed.
    2 Level will have an automatic approval
    But some how this is not working as per the requirement.
    Any info will be highly apreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    hi,
    There is the standard process
    1)Order type( RE) VA01
    2)Delivery( LR)Vl01n with reference to return order
    i)if the movement is 651then system will not generate accounting document upon doing Post goods Receipt ,the stock will be in the return location
    then you use movement type 453 to get the stock in UN restricted
    ii)if the movement type 653 the system generates accounting document and stock posts in unrestricted use
    3)With reference to Delivery raise Credit memo (RE) with transaction VF01

  • What is the purpose of using  credit process sales  doc type?

    what is the purpose of using  credit process sales  doc type?

    hi,
    A transaction that reduces Amounts Receivable from a customer is a credit memo.
    Credit memo request is a sales document used in complaints processing to request a credit memo for a customer. If the price calculated for the customer is too high, for example, because the wrong scale prices were used or a discount was forgotten, you can create a credit memo request. The credit memo request is blocked for further processing so that it can be checked. If the request is approved, you can remove the block. The system uses the credit memo request to create a credit memo.

  • Importation process of goods in SRM

    Hi Guys,
    Could you give a clue on how to perform importation process of goods in SRM system?
    Thanks !!

    Hi Nick
    Always have one approval path for one schema. If there are approvers which are a part of multiple approval paths, reuse the expressions and agent determination for those process levels in each schema.
    1. Have a Function Module expression created for your Process Schema Evaluation and determine any one schema based on SC data.
    2. For Process steps within each schema in your 11 scenarios(I Guess you ve 11 different approval paths), use BRF Expressions which are always TRUE for steps which will always be there in the process levels. For any other evaluation for having any other process level triggered, write separate FM Expression.
    Keep things simple. I dont recommend using one process schema and making it very complex at process levels. Differentiate it at the top , determine process schema and have process levels within each process schema. It will result in easy implementation and maintenance efforts.

  • N-step approval process for PO in SRM 7

    Here are a couple of questions I have regarding N-Step approval configuration for PO in SRM 7 Process Controlled Workflow:
    1) It's our business requirement that the last-change person of the PO is defined as the first approver in the chain. I tested with RR_EMPLOYEE and a hard-coded user BP number (my own), but got error "Strategy RR_EMPLOYEE did not determine any approver". Changing to any other user's BP number worked. So I am guessing the buyer himself can not be an approver. Since this is a business requirement, we wouldn't mind developing enhancement to work around this restriction. If you could point me to the place where this is checked, that would help me.
    2) I have set up the process level configuration as such:
    100     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001     PO  approval level 1     RR_EMPLOYEE     Specify Employee for Approval
    200     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_002     PO  approval level 2     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
    300     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_003     PO  approval level 3     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
    The corresponding expressions are simply checking against the PO total value, such as -
    0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 0 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 1,000
    0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 1,000 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 25,000
    0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 25,000
    But when I checked the Approver list with a PO with total value > 50,000, only the first level is triggered and listed. And once approved, the PO went into "Ordered" status. But it should have gone through 3 levels of approval. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out what might have been wrongly defined in my configuration.
    Thanks!

    SAP recently released the consultant OSS note to handle this issue.. when the release the SRM 7.0 , SC requestor or PO creator ( Buyer ) cant be in the approval list.. later on they release a OSS note to handle this issue.. 1551561\

  • Batch process cwk docs to open in pages?

    Hello, asking I hope a simple question: does anyone know how or have a script to ask Mac OS 4.11 to open .cwk documents into Pages '09 as a batch processing action?  I need a bunch of files from a workshop my sister did many years ago (still on her G3 iMac running Panther I think) - they are sooo old they are from Appleworks.  It would be great if there was a fast way to open AND save them at once. We have set her computer to open all cwk docs in Pages '09 but that is as far as our expertise extends. BTW, she can also transfer and open them on her new MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 - we just started with Tiger since it was closer in age to the G3.

  • SC approved, but doesn't create followon doc and NO error in transfer

    Hi,
    I am getting this strange issue. My cart is approved and i am expecting follow on PO doc to be created.
    However no PO is created and strangely when i checked there is no error related to Error in Transfer too.
    checked monitors and no info there on this sc.
    How come SC is not even resulted in error in transmission?
    Appreciate your inputs/clues.
    Thanks
    Krish

    Everyone,
    Thanks for your replies.
    There is no issue logged in ST22 and also no alerts found in ST22. Checked BBP_PD too. It shows as approved. thats it.
    Dinesh,
    All my settings are working fine. The issue is i am having this problem only with very few shopping carts. Rest of them working fine and createing followon documents. If not, they are showing up as error in transfer and can see the log in RZ20.
    But with this cart, i don't see any alert in RZ20. There is no entry found in BBP_Document_tab also.
    I tried to run Get_Status program and it this SC is showing as not transferred and then i tried to run REQREQ also..but its not working.
    So i am wondering what could be the reason for not being transferred to backend.
    Appreciate any inputs/clues.
    Thanks

  • Very Urgent----Followon Docs after Auctions...

    Hi SRM Gurus,
    We are using SRM 5.0 with LAC. I am able to create aucitons and publish them and the bidders are able to submit their bids online.
    But iam not able to see the bids, when i click that auctions under "Process Auctions". Similarly when we click the Bidder/Bids in the header, the "Bid Status"coloum is empty.
    Can anyone help, Am i missing any config steps or should it come automatically?
    Thanks,
    Bert.

    Hi Bert,
    to access supplier bids, you have to wait for the end of the auction.
    At that time only the supplier bids will be "finalized" and available from "Process Auctions".

  • SRM Master data - Starters(New employee) and leavers(existing employee) process and updates to SRM system

    Hi Team,
    What is the process when New employee Join the Organization and how it updates to SRM System?
    What is the process when existing employee Leaves the Organization and how it updates to SRM System?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rameshwar.

    Hi Rameshwar,
    The process and approach may differ organization to organization.
    However, let me tell you what process we follow -
    1.     Whenever the New employee or User joins organization it is automatically updated in the Idm (Identity management system). Hope you are aware of this application.
    2.     The User who wants access to SRM as the end user will apply for the specified roles (Portal roles for Portal access & SAP roles for shopping) through Idm. The Idm is connected to the SRM system and whenever there is a addition / change/ update in Idm it will also update the SRM system.
    3.     Only for SAP Approver roles we have WORKFLOW setup in Idm.So that the user is created in the SRM system with specified approver roles only after approval is completed in Idm.
    For Requester role there is normal workflow.
    4. Once it is approved, the user is created in the SRM system and we can check in SU01D
    5.     This is User creation centrally. However, if you have admin access you can also directly create in SRM using SU01 transaction.
    6.     Once the user is created with specified roles, we need to manually put the user in PPOMA orgnaization strcuture.
    7.    Same procedure is followed when the employee is left the organization.
    8. Throught IDm we remove all the authorization to SRM. however the user gets deleted in SRM but the Assignment still remains in the PPOMA. Which the consultant has to delete it manually.
    9. Hope this process helps you in some way.
    Thanks.
    From RBEI,
    Snehal

  • Need help on processing XML doc using Java store procedure

    I am currently working on project to read, parse XML document and store data in XML document into database columns. I use JAVA API-OracleXMLSave in my java store procedure to do it, which use URL of XML doc to read, parse doc and store the data to database columns. My java store procedure works fine when XML doc is saved in server, but got "ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
    oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: No such file or directory" if XML doc is in client's PC instead of in server. I think the problem comes from the URL that created using OracleXMLSave
    --createURL(fileName) based on the filename. what will be the filename if XML document located in Client PC like C:\myprojects\xmldoc.xml?
    Thank you in advance if anyone can give some hints.

  • Back and Forth Logic in process-controlled (BRF) workflows in SRM 7.0

    Hi all,
    I am using the process-controlled workflow in SRM 7.0.
    The approval itself works ok, but now I am trying to set up the back-and-forth functionality (similar to how it worked for the Badi in SRM 5.0) as default:
    This is what happens:
    Requester creates shopping cart.
    Shopping cart goes for approval.
    Approver rejects SC.
    Back at the requester the SC can only be displayed, but not changed.
    As far as I can tell this happens for any kind of decision set (as long as all items are rejected).
    This is what I am trying to set up.:
    Once the SC is back at the requester, he can either accept the rejection OR change the SC and 're-order' it ie send it back to approver again.
    I know if the requester checks the flag 'Work Item to Requester at Process End' this can be done, but I need the system to have this functionality automatically without setting a flag manually.
    I really appreciate any suggestions on this issue.
    Cheers
    Ulrike

    Dear Masa,
    thanks for your helpful answer. I have an better idea now, but I am still not quite able to set it up.
    I have applied note 1296209.
    When i tried to set up this step I did the following:
    level type of that step I used 'Approval with completion'.
    Created Expression of type SAP Formula Interpreter, with return type Boolean, and use formula:
    0V_WF_CURRENT_DECISI = 'REJECTED'
    linked the evaluation id to above expression.
    Task id for the step is: 40007994 - Accept Decision / Adjust Document
    When i do this and create a SC, my system dumps after clicking on describe requirement::
      The following error text was processed in the system SR7 :  The method could not be found at dynamic call.
    The error occurred on the application server SAP01_SR7_07 and in the work process 1 .
    The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
    The ABAP call stack was:
          Method: CALL_RFW of program /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTEXT====CP
          Function: /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000 of program /SAPSRM/SAPLWF_BRF_DATA
          Method: PROCESS_SPECIFIC of program CL_CALL_FUNC_METHOD_BRF=======CP
          Method: IF_RULE_COMPONENT_BRF~PROCESS of program CL_EXPRESSION_BASE_BRF========CP

          Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============CP
          Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============CP
    What I don't understand about your explanation is what you mean by "Acceptance by Contact person". I don't have that option anywhere in my BRF? Is that supposed to show up under Resp. Resolver Name (like RR_MANAGER)?
    Also where did you add that step in Process level configuration? I have 2 approval steps (just approval, without completion) and then i wanted to enter this step after those levels before the automatic system decision.  But i wasn't able as the system doesn't allow you to add a completion step after a 'normal' approval step.
    Cheers for your help
