Procurement Card Workflow in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts,
Please advise / suggest on how to implement Procurement Card (P-card) workflow through Process Controlled WF in SRM 7.0.
I don't find any object type for P-card in "Define Process Levels". I believe workflow templates 10000093 & 10000100 are for application controlled WF (SRM 5).
Any idea will be helpful.
Note: We are in SAP SRM 7.0 (SRM_SERVER Release 700)
Regards,
Bijaya Achary

Hi Masa,
Thanks for your response.
As I understand, when a bank statement comes to SRM through IDoc, the workflow template 10000093 will be triggered. Inside this WF template, the standard task TS 10007947 is executed with Rule 10000136 "Role Resolution for P-Card Charges" and function module BBP_PC_WFAGENTS.
Please advise if my understanding is correct.
Also, please let me where i can get more info for P-Card WF.
P-card process
how to trigger P-Card WF.
how to do custom role resolution.. etc

Procurement Card functionality in SRM

Hi,
I am looking into implementing Procurement card functionality in SRM. I remember something about P cards in SRM only work in the standalone scenario but is this still correct. What are the limitations of the procurement card solution within SRM that I should be aware of before deciding on the SRM option or looking at a third party application.
Thanks for any help.

How can I firce procurement Card settlement in SRM 7.0?

Hello,
We are moving from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0, and I would like to understand if there is a way to force items to be settled to a procurement card in 7.0 (using an external cataog aggregator). Currently, in 5.0, we have a "P" appended to the end of a product category when they come from the catalog if they are forced to be settled to a procurement card. This means we also have to maintain all product categories twice (once with a P and once without) in COMM_HIERARCHY. we have a BADI in place to force the pro card selection if the product category ends with a "P".
Is there an easier way in SRM 7.0? We want to replice PO's back to ECC but do not want to have to maintain all product categories twice in both environments!
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Eric

Masa,
Can you please provide more details on this for me? Is the "Customer Field" the supplier, because we would like to be able to have different settlement methods for each supplier in some cases, because it will be possible to procure items from a supplier for MRO items and settle them to a work order and cost center, while still procuring from that same supplier for non maintenance items that will be paid for with a procurement card.
Thanks - Eric

Capture of bids for procurement and workflow in SRM

Dear Gurus,
I am new to SAP. I would like to ask which functionality in SRM can do the following:
1. Capture bids for procurement
2. Use workflow to automate the evaluation and approval of the bids received (Matching bid price against budgeted cost)
3. Use workflow to support the automatic routing of all submissions and evaluations for approvals in respect of u201CApproval to Negotiateu201D and u201CApproval to Awardu201D.
4. Segregate bids that meet or are lower than the budgeted cost from those that are in excess, marking the latter in different colour
5. Capture of all data, especially from the lowest bidder

Hi,
All the functionalities are there in the SAP Bidding Engine(Strategic sourcing)

Ganesh

Un-blocking Procurement Card Settlement generated AP Invoices

Hi there,
We have implemented the Procurement Card solution in SRM 5.0 with an ECC 6.0 back-end system.
The process flow looks (pretty standard) like this:
1. User purchases goods with charge card
2. Card statement loaded to SRM
3. Invoices created (one per card) in back-end (credit vendor account and debit a payment card clearing account). Invoices have payment block of 'x' applied automatically.
4. Simultaneously work items sent to user (nominated on the card master data) to reconcile the purchases to the correct GL / Cost Centre (if default not acceptable)
5. Once reconciled, GL postings sent to back-end to debit the GL / Cost Centre and credit the payment card clearing account
6. Carefully designed clearing program run will clear the payment card clearing account
Our issue is that we have quite a high number of charge card users and hence a high number of invoices generated every time we load the statement. Each one of these invoices is blocked for payment automatically and therefore we have a manual process to follow to unblock these invoices for payment.
Is there an automated unblocking process upon reconcilliation that we are missing?
Thanks
Matt

Hello.
It seems that the usual process is to pay the vendor (card provider) by Direct Debit. In which case, it is practical that the invoices remain blocked so that you do not end up paying the vendor twice (via DD and via your own payment program). The invoice will be cleared off against the DD payment on the vendor account once the bank statement has been uploaded into SAP.
Cheers
Matt

Procurement Card Requisition to Payment flow

I need to know how to match Supplier Pcard Invoice to be paid to Card issuer with POs that were created for supplier.
Logically I have divided the Pcard Procurement to Payment flow:
Parties: Buyer, Vendor, Procurement Card Issuer
* Punchout Pcard Requisition to Toucheless Purchase Order
* Purchase Order Transmission to Vendor with Pcard information
* Vendor payment collection from Card Issuer on daily basis(This is out side of Oracle eBS or Buyer's system)
* Vendor to send Pcard statement for Payment to Buyer
* Buyer to reconcile Pcard statement with PO History Feed
* Import Invoice to be paid to Card issuer
My question is, how to traceable POs paid from Invoice data, as the invoice will be created for card issuer as supplier so that they are paid whereas the POs were created for vendor who was enable with Procurement Card.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Darshan

Payment Card Vs Procurement Card

Hi Experts,
I know that 'Procurement card' can be given as a payment method in External requirement / Purchase order in SRM. The same can be cnfigured under SPRO-->Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM server --> Procurement Card.
However, I am not clear the 'Payment card' functionality under SPRO-->Cross Application components --> Payment Cards.
Is both are same? If so why both are referring to two diffent configuration settings.
If not, what is the functionality of Payment Card and where we can use in SRM transactions.
Vasu

Hi,
Procurement card is a type of Payment card.
Check this out please :
Card used for cash-free payment in a variety of business transactions, from buying goods at a local store or over the Internet, to procuring goods and services on behalf of a company.
The main payment card categories involved in payment card processing in the SAP environment are:
Credit cards
Used for purchasing goods and services with regular billing, usually with extended credit.
Customer cards
Used by customers to buy goods and services from a specific merchant or group of merchants.
Debit cards
Used as a means of cashless payment. The cardholder's bank account is debited instantly.
Procurement cards
Issued on behalf of companies to employees for purchasing items up to a given amount.
Walking cards
Issued on behalf of companies to employees for purchasing a wide range of goods and services for company travel.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/93/745309546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
The payment card functions in Sales and Distribution (SD) allow for sales involving these categories of cards, with the exception of walking cards, which are supported by Human Resources (HR), and debit cards, which are supported by Retail (SAP Retail) using point of sale (POS).
Best regards,
Sridhar

Use of Procurement Card w/e-Business Suite (11.5.9)

Our company has made the decision to start using P Card. The company that we get the card from provides their own web-hosted application that allows for on-line review and approval routing of charges as well as reporting.
In my mind, this approach eliminates the need for us to use the "Procurement Card Management" functionality available under the Payables module of e-Business Suite 11i.
Can anyone provide a list of pros/cons to using card company's application vs. Oracle's functionality? Successes/failures?
Upon final approval of the credit card bill, we would also download files from the card provider's application into either Payables or General Ledger to record the spend. If we decide to download to Payables, we could load the transactions at the individual supplier level (as zero dollar invoices so as not to "double-up" on liability), thereby allowing us to record the actual spend at the supplier level.
Again, pros/cons to doing this? Guidance? Good idea/bad idea?, etc.
Any responses are most welcome! Thank you!

The Workflow Status monitor diagram is loaded using Applet that runs on JInitiator in E-Business Suite. There was an issue when loading the status monitor using SSL (HTTPS) and it was resolved and a patch is available on Metalink.
Please enable Java Console and load the status monitor. This will give the complete log of loading status monitor. This could help identify what the issue is and search in Metalink for hits.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

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: GET_RESULT of program CL_EXPRESSION_POOL_BRF========CP
      Method: IF_EXPRESSION_BRF~GET_SUBEXPRESSION of program CL_EXPRESSION_BASE_BRF========CP
      Method: IF_FOEV_CONNECTOR~EVALUATE of program CL_FORMULA_BRF================CP
      Method: EVALUATE of program CL_FOEV_FORMULA===============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
Ulrike
