Produc category contracts (GOA

Hi,
We have item category field in the GOA we can select product category over there. What is the use of it. Please advise.

hI friend
ok. understood . can you check product type as 02 in crmd_orderadm_i table for that item. system should not send any UOm data and i think something wrong data going to ecc or wrong validation is happening in ecc for contract data.
as you might be correct. we are not transfering any uom to backend via product category contract.
note1:-
in srm by default item category is NORMAl and when you entered as product category , target qty /uom and target value
but sap realised later and validating product id verification
SAP Note 1355685 - Distribution incorrect on distribution
without product id

Product Category Contracts

Hi,
I have a few questions on Contracts in SRM
If I select Normal line type, the system requires Product, unit price, target quantity/value for auto sourcing of the shopping carts
but if I select Item Category of the line as Product Category, there is no unit price, product, so how do these contracts work in sourcing of the shopping carts? and how are these type of contract useful?
On the contract header, there is a "Basic Contract" field, what does it mean and when I select it, this contract is showing up for all the unsourced shopping carts? so what is the real use of this field?
Thanks,
CS

Hi CS
As per standard for material grouo contract , release quantity will not be displayed.
PRODUCT CATEGORY TURNS INTO ITEM CATEGORY W IN ECC IF YOU DISTRIBUTE GOA TO ECC
Item Category W (Material Group)
Item category W allows you to enter a material group without entering the value or quantity of the contract item. Item category W is for value contracts only.
Consider a contract for cable. The contract covers every type of cable on the vendor's price list. The exact type of cable is known only at the time a specific cable is ordered.
Instead of entering an item for every type of cable the vendor is able to supply, you could enter item category W and the material group (say, CABLE). The short text would indicate that the contract item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor.
Each release order issued against this contract would then specify the actual type and quantity of cable (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 spool) as well as the price.
How Do You Use Item Category W?
When you create the contract item, enter the item category W, the short text, and the material group. You do not enter a price or conditions for the item. However, it is possible to specify conditions in the document header. For example, you can enter a discount in the header conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all Pos relating to the contract. The discount is automatically taken into account when the release order is created.
You can enter a material number in the contract release order. The corresponding material master record must be assigned to the same material group specified in the referenced contract item. If the release order does not have a material number, then it must contain a valid account assignment, such as a cost center.
Basic Contract
If you set this indicator, the contract only has header information and conditions and no line items. Basic contracts cannot be distributed to the catalog.

Some question about the renegotiation function in SRM Contract (GOA)

Hi All Expert,
We are on SRM 5/4.6, there is a question about the renegotiation function in SRM GOA.
Can we renegotiate the price for some parts in the GOA items with this function ( e.g. Only renegotiate one item in the contract) ?
Will the item price updated automatically after the renegotiation?
Many thanks in advance!!!
Wendrin

Hi Sanjeev,
Many thanks for your help.
One more question, if I add a new item when we renegotiation, will it be transfered to contract and create a new item after that?
Thanks and best regards
Wendrin

SRM product category contract using MDM retrurns contract with item 0

We are using SRM 5 with MDM catalog 7.1 using Ext classic scenario.
We've created more than 1 SRM contract for the same product category in SRM, eg. 2 contracts both for prod category STATIONERY with 2 different vendors (eg. vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1 and vendor 2456 contract 44000999 item 1). In the MDM catalog we reference 1 of these contracts/items, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1.
When we select this item from MDM catalog it pulls in the vendor and the contract number, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330, but the contract item is shown as item 0 (contract 44000330 / 0).
If however, we have only one contract for a product category, eg. TRAINING and we enter this contract/item in MDM, when we select that item from the catalog it copies the vendor and the contract along with the correct contract item number, eg. contract 44000661 / 1.
Any ideas why it is doing this? Cannot find any SAP notes or other postings on SDN with this problem.
Thanks
Neil

Thanks.
The issue is when we have more than one contract for the same product category. Both or only one of those contracts might be assigned to items in the MDM catalog. The catalog has the correct contract, AND the correct item number against the catalog item.eg. contract 123456 / item 1
If there is only one contract then there is no problem and the correct contract AND item number is copied back into the shopping cart, eg. 123456 / 1. Only when there is more than one contract for the product category does MDM pass back contract item 0 eg. 123456 / 0
We're not loading via XI. We're loading from a spreadsheet.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

How Product category contract replicate from SRM to ECC?

HI, dear experts:
     I work with SRM 7.0.   I have reliazed that contract with product ID replicated to ECC , it is a standar way.   But the contract without Product ID ,only product category and description    cann't be replicated to ECC.    why?   how I do ?
    Please tell me ,thanks very much.
Jesse.

Hi, Muthu
I made e some change in ECC . and the error info is "Combination item category W /account assignment category U not defined" in BD87 .
     item category 'W' is material group in ECC.
how will i do ?
   thank you
Hi, Muthu
     I made the setting in ECC to permit 'Combination item category W /account assignment category U', and the contract can reach the ECC.    in ECC, the contract item category is 'W' (material group).      actually, in ECC ,material group contract can be created wihtout 'W'.    the MM consultant also don't except 'W' as item category, should as empty.   Will I do some change in SRM . how to do ?
thank you again
Hi, Muthu
     By testing, I found the situation:
    when creating contract, in item, if I select Item Category as 'Product Category' , then I can't input 'Product ID' ,'Unit', 'Price', etc.   I can only input main info such as 'Target Quantity' 'Target Value' etc.
     when the contract is generated in ECC.     the item category is 'W' , Target Quantity is empty, Price is empty, the Target value that is input in SRM    is disapeared,   in other words, this kind of contract don't have price (value) .
      is it normal?
      my business expect it is like with product ID. can this be realized?
detail 'W' can be known from url:

What is the diff bet XI and Business connector, backend contracts & Goa?

hi friends
what is the diff bet XI and Business connector ,diff bet backend contracts and goa
i know that XI(for new customers) and business connector for existing customers
do u think xi and Business Connector perform the same task
Regards
Vinny

Hi Vinny,
As Khan told, business connector is old technolgy and it has almost same functionlities like in XI.
both are mainly used for converts idoc's into xml format....
GOA: Global outline agreemnts mainly used when srm is having multiple backend systems. with reference to GOA , we can create local contracts in backend systems ...

Category Contract and Pricing

Hello,
I am in the development phase on a SRM project using SRM 5.0 EXC Self Service. I am struggeling with contracts and pricing.
We have set up a contract with a discount of 20% on the product group (as we do not use products, only descriptions) "office supplies".
When I create a shopping cart for an item I enter description, quantity, price and category. When I press add to shopping cart, my price disappears. When I go to source of supply, I can see my contract, but it also say price is 0 here.
I expected that when I entered my price, it would deduct 20% of it and not set it to zero.
Can someone please enlighten me about this?
rgds
GAR

Hello Atul,
Thank you for your reply.
I am a bit new to contracts, but what I want to set up is that I want ie. 20% off on all products belonging to product catetegory 002. Due to that, I enter an item in my contract with item category "product category", target value and discount.
As this is valid for a product category, I cannot enter a base price in the contract?

Output Contract / GOA

Dear all,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 and using the Contract Management Scenario. For Global Outline Agreements there is also a Push Button for "Output" available. By clicking currently the message "Output could not be created - Inform System Admin".
Does anyone know what settings are needed to be able to Output Global Outline Agreements from SRM?
Looking forward to your insights!
Thanks,
Claudia

Hi Kristoffer,
looking on the Header data there is a link "Output Logs".
It is an overview also called "Search Results". There is nothing what I can select.
I do not know, what is needed to get the Output Function working - is that only available in Extended Classic Scenario? Specific settings needed in SRM as well on the vendor record?
Thanks in advance,
Claudia

Error when creatig a contract - GOA

    The exception 'CX_BBP_PD_ABORT' was raised, but it was not caught anywhere

    Since exceptions represent error situations and this error was not

Hi,
Please check the following:
The following table entry may be needed:

Also please check note:

GOA Distribution SRM 5.0-ECC 6.0 - Account Category & Multiple Distribution

Hi everyboby,
I'm trying to distribute a GOA, or better I have distributed a GOA to ECC, but I have a problem 2 problems:
1.) account category on the idoc BLAORD (inbound in ECC) is always U (Unknown). Instead I want that account category is blank (my back end contract has to have item category W (material group) and account category "blank", in this way i can create a release order with item category standard and account category "blank", for direct material). How can I assign Account Category to GOA? It must be possible,I think me, do it with standard customizing, without any BAdI!!!
2.) I want to distribute GOA to several plant on the same backend system, but obviously the contract number is the same and therefore on ECC back end only one contract is created. Is it possible to do this distribution without custom implementation like BAdIs?
Thanks in advance.
Bye!!!

Hi Marco,
1. the account assignment is U only for text items. In case material record driven line items are transferred, the account category is blank, like you expect.
2. A GOA can only be distributed for each Backend System, and within one document is create for each combination of POrg and CompCode. This only works when you have POrgs arranged within Company Codes and not accross Company Codes. If the later is the case, only one document is created.
More than one document is only possible via development by programming method MODIFY_DATA_CTR of BAdI BBP_CTR in R/3.
Thanks,
Claudia

GOA distribution to R3 - Tax Code for ERS vendors

Hi all,
Having an issue with GOA distribution to R3 for evaluated receipt settlement vendors. For ERS vendors, tax code is a required field. There is not a tax code field in the GOA and this is not being passed in any iDoc segment I can find. My current tax configuration is calculate tax in backend, i have maintained tax codes I0.U1, I1 with U1 set as default. As shopping carts are transferred from R3 they are assigned U1 as expected and PO's generated in the BE from these external requirements are getting the U1 as expected. The problem is with contracts and scheduling agreements. Everything is fine unless the vendor has the ERS indicator set. Tax code becomes a required field.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've' researched SDN and everything talks about shopping carts and PO's, which is working for us. I cant find any info on the contract distribution. I've investigated the BADI's associated with tax calculation in SRM but I'm not sure these meet the requirement for ERS vendors.
Am I missing configuration? Is one of the tax badi's the way to go? Any information is appreciated.

Text Box in DOCUMENTS Tab when creating a Contract

Hi
I'm using SRM 5 , when creating a Contract(GOA), the minute you select the Documents Tab , the text box for internal note is already open, and it fills up the top portion of the screen. This does not allow you to save( or to put your contract either on hold, or to Release.) You cannot select any of those options as the text box covers the entire top area, the only option available is to click on "back to inital screen".
When you select this option you loose all your work,and it takes you to the initial screen.
I cannot find the note which has to be applied , please assist.
Thanks

Hi,
Kindly review the following note:

SRM and Inventory with a Contract

Using ECC 6, SRM 7(Extended Classic)
Contracts maintained in backend and replicated into SRM.
Inventory Contract created in a 'bulk' fashion - e.g. - without a specific Material.
Contract is setup in ECC with an Item Category of 'M' (Material Unknown) and an Account Assignment Category of blank.
If using ECC we then raise a Purchase Order - this works fine.
When replicating the Contract into SRM it fails error is 'BL001' - Item type error.
General Scenario - We have a contract for numerous goods (Clothing) , so we enter one (1) line in the Contract. We can't define a specific material on the Contract as the goods required vary ecah Shoppnig Cart - e.g. - Shirt Blue Size 10 on 1 SC, then next day may be Trousers Grey Long - whatever. All of the various types of clothing are covered under one (1) Contract.
We can;t specify a particular Material on the Contract because the SC (and subsequent PO) will validate against the Contract Material. This all works fine in SRM and it seems that our problem is the inability to replicate teh contract into SRM since it does not recognise the 'M' Item Type category.
Any guidance appreciated.
Thanks.
Gerry Steer

Hello Gerry
I dont know the answer but i am telling the fact of SRM
SRM has three Item types
Material
Product category
Services
but i understand you use this report BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD program to transfer all ECC contract to SRM as a repository upon your business rule,
SAP SRM dont have idea how material unknown M item category mapped in SRM
as of i know there is no option in SRM for this MATERIAL UNKNOWN item type .
SERVICE - AVAILABLE IN SRM
MATERIAL - KNOWN MATERIAL AVAILABLE IN SRM
MATERIAL GROUP - Available in SRM
Please kindly report to SAP via OSS message , i think this unknown material mapping must be done as equivalent to ECC or some alternative like product category contract.
