Process Improvement for Shopping Cart

I would like to have the availability to contact customer service regarding a recommended process improvement for Verizon customers.  I have been a loyal Verizon since 2003, but my most recent experience is enough to drive me straight into the arms of T-Mobile and take them up on their offer to buy me out of all 6 contract agreements on my Verizon account.
I recently attempted to upgrade my device online.  It was a relatively seamless process until I reached the end and got to the shopping cart.  I elected to pick my phone up in the nearest store but to do so you have to pay online with a credit or debit card.  You do not have the option to bill your account or pay in the store.  As it turns out, the billing zip code that is associated with your credit card MUST match the service address zip code on your Verizon account.  I am an identity theft victim and because of this all of my mail goes to a Post Office Box for security reasons.  I obviously do not live in a Post Office Box, so my service address will never match the zip code on my billing address.
I am keenly aware that this is probably done for security reasons.  Verizon doesn't want people obtaining a compromised account and sending a phone just anywhere.  However, I was not opting to have anything shipped to me.  I was picking up in the store so it should not matter what my billing zip code is.
The part that was most frustrating was the customer service individuals that I spoke with suggested things like (1) I should contact my bank and all of my bank statements and credit/debit card statements come to my house or (2) update my Verizon service address to the physical address of the Post Office even though I don't live there.  When I was told to do option 2 listed above, I was told I had to log out of my account for the change to take effect and then re-log back in only to lose my entire order.  All of this just to place an order and pick it up in a store.  All I needed to do was just pay for my phone.
I next gave up and went in to the store.  After an hour of waiting and trying to figure out where the problem was, the Verizon store couldn't take the coupon code that the customer service person had given me online.  Translation - after all of this frustration with a dead-end result, I learned I was going to have to pay about $100 more for my phone.  I walked away.
I went back online and the only option I had was to go back to square one and re-order online and this time, elect to have the phone shipped and billed to my account.  I chose overnight shipping and just learned that the phone was shipped UPS ground and will be delivered after 5 days.
Needless to say, this has all been extremely disappointing and the most frustrating part is that it is all avoidable with a simple programming change.  All of this was totally unnecessary.  As an identity theft victim, I will NEVER have my mail delivered to the mailbox in my neighborhood.  Does Verizon really want to offer that as a suggestion for people who want to buy a phone?  Do they want to be responsible for the results?  With identity theft being the fastest growing crime in America, somehow I just don't see that as a viable solution.  There are many, many people just like me who don't have the same physical and billing addresses.
Finally, I will leave you with this question... Have you ever had this much trouble placing an order and paying for that order online?  If I went to a store and purchased a phone in the store, would Verizon's payment processor care that the billing address on my credit card was different from the physical address where I live?  NO!  Companies are typically ready to take your money!  It shouldn't be this hard to just pay someone for a phone.
If anyone can point me in the direction of how to make sure someone from Verizon Corporate is aware of this problem and that this is taken under consideration for future enhancements/changes to their eCommerce system it would be much appreciated.

Hi,
  I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1?  For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

  • Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

    Hi,
    We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
    1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
    2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
    3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
    contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
    4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
    4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
    table based on material group. For that we have first created a
    Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
    We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
    the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
    5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
    the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
    reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
    6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
    level is not getting called.
    7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
    automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
    the carts are getting rejected.
    Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
    implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
    are missing?

  • Wrong approver for shopping cart

    Hi Friends,
    I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
    One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant  and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
    The SC's basic data contains the responsibility  of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
    Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Volkoale,
                    I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
    In my case, there is one  cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
    Cheers,

    Hi Sanjay/Vadim,
    We are also having a simialr issue..
    for SRM server 500 SAPKIBKS08...
    R/3 4.7
    "But this issue comes up only in the Test system and works fine with the Dev sys.." Double checked all the config steps and looks alike..
    We are using the classic scenario RFx process to create a backend PO from the bidding engine after the bid is accepted..
    it alwayz throws up the error SC/ Local Error..
    : Error during determn of backend follow-on doc. for shopping cart 0010000103 / 0000000001....
    we just started debugging from the web by breaking it at META_BAPI_DISPATCH and still looking into it..
    but in the mean while just want to know if this is more a config issue or and RFC connection issue..
    could you forward me any OSS notes if any regarding this issue..
    thanks in advance..

  • N-step WF for shopping carts

    Is there a N-step WF for shopping carts which can be used in SRM 5.0 ?
    The WF is driven by product category and not spending limits.
    Or do we have to develop a custom WF ?
    Thanks

    Separate Determination Method for List of Approvers via BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI in WS14000133:
    In WS14000109 the approvers are determined dependent on the total value of the SC and on the approval limits of the managers.
    However, if you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
    You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
    For more details, see the IMG:
    Supplier Relationship Management  ®  SRM Server  ®  Business Add-Ins for Enterprise Buyer (BAdIs)  ®  SAP Business Workflow  ®  Determination of Approvers for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow.
    Go through the documentation of the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. It will give you a fair idea on how to about the logic you want.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Deadline monitoring for Shopping Cart

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on SRM 7.0 process controlled workflows.
    Activated the deadline monitoring for shopping cart but I am getting the below error:
    Work item 000000073752: Object /SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER method TRIGGER_EVENT cannot be execute
    Please help to solve this.
    Thanks,
    Sangeeta

    Hello,
    To find the cause you will need to debug:
    For testing you can call  the method
    /SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER -> TRIGGER_EVENT
    Take the following parameters from the document wfl log:
    IV_DOCUMENT_GUID IV_DOCUMENT_GUID
    IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE
    IV_EVENT IV_EVENT
    IV_EVENT_SUB_CATEGORY
    IV_WORKITEM_ID
    IV_DOCUMENT_ID
    Before to start debugging, set a beark point in CL_BBP_MESSAGE_CREATE -> execute
    Here you can find why the alert method is not been able to be executed.
    Probably you are passing some wrong parameter.. Do you use Badis BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF or BBP_ALERT.. try to deactivate these Badis and retest.
    Thanks,

  • New document type for shopping cart /PO

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created a new transaction type ZSHC for Shopping carts in SRM. I have given it a new  number range.
    while creating a shopping cart , how do i ensure that my shopping carts get created with this transaction type?
    is there any attribute which controls this ?
    Regards,
    Mangesh

    Thanks Shrini for your response.
    BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW" does not exist in SRM 4.0. The corresponds BADI in SRM 4.0 is "BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK".
    The documentation of this BADI says that it can be used to change all data TRANSFERRED TO THE BACKEND SYSTEM to create a purchase order.
    I would want the document type to be selected when the PO is created in SRM and not when SRM transfers the PO to the backend. Because in that case I fear that SRM can have one doucment type and R/3 would end up having different document type for same PO.
    I will activate the BADI and keep the thread posted.
    Thanks
    Venkatesh

  • Check status for Shopping Cart to include F-53 postings

    Dear SRM GURUS
    we are following a classic scenarios and SRM version 4.0 where in we create a shopping cart in SRM and a  purchase Req is created in backend and based on that we create a Purchase Order and do a Goods receipts and Invoice Booking in MIRO in R3.
    When we check the status of shopping cart we are able to view all in SRM check status for shopping cart.
    Now my requiremnt is that when after MIRO in R/3 we run F-53  for payement to vendor.
    Whether this can be displayed in the shopping cart check status that as to when actual payement was made to the vendor through F-53.

  • Prefered vendor not displayed for shopping cart

    Hi,
    We have PDP scenario, SC's originated from R/3 purchase requisitions,
    Issue details:
    1. P.req was created with desired vendor and transfered to SRM and corresponding shopping cart is available in SOCO.
    2. User created Held PO for corresponding SC.
    3. When user checking monitor shopping cart then preffered vendor not displayed in source of supply tab.
    When i checking BBP_PD for shopping cart, i found there is Disable flag(X) has been set for NO inbox selection partner.
    what could be it mean, and more ever this changs has been originated via RFC user.how it was getting RFC user
    Please advice me....

    Venkateshwar
    SC is generally sent to SOCO only when sourcing has to be carried out for the SC. IN this case you are hving a desired vendor in the SC and then you are creating a pO for the same. Although you have a Vendor in the PO that does not mean that SC will also have same vendor as preferred vendor in SC after you created the PO....

  • CFolder Integration for Shopping Cart

    Experts,
    Can we have cFolder integration for Shopping Carts?
    (For example, in single part RFx, in header notes and attachments tab, we see Collaboration -> create/assign/delete buttons).
    If YES:
    what we have to do to achieve this?
    If NO:
    why we cannot see cFolder for SC? Is it because of the reason that, if at an integration has to exist, it should be at item level for SC, and this is always at header level in RFx?
    Details:  SRM7.0 SP07; ECS; PPS.
