Product category mandatory in the shopping cart ?

Hi everybody,
We are studying shopping carts functionalities in SRM in activating ECS.
We are not using articles, but only product categories. We would like to know if the product category is necessary mandatory in the shopping cart? Indeed, if the shopping cart is related to a simple customer need, the information of the product category is not always known by the requester. He would fill only the description of the request.
Thank you for your help,
Vin

Vinna,
Product category (Material Grops) is mandatory for any shopping cart creation, However in SRM some of the basic configuration setting is based on product category only. Mainly the G/L account is mapped with product categories which is important for account validation in the shopping cart.
Kind Regards,
NMK

BAPI_SCEC_CREATE - how to get the shopping cart to go to our workflow

Dear experts,
When a shopping cart is created using BAPI_SCEC_CREATE, it will get approved automatically. We want the shopping cart to go through our approval workflow. Is there any way to achieve this? I saw threads on similar question but there's no solution. It seems to be related to Sourcing relevant indicator (SOURCE_REL_IND) in table BBP_PDIGP. I've tried executing BAPI_SCEC_CREATE followed by BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT and then BBP_PDIGP_DB_DIRECT_UPDATE to reset the SOURCE_REL_IND. However, it didn't work.
Does anyone know how to get the shopping cart created by BAPI_SCEC_CREATE to go to a workflow?
Thanks,
Lara

Hello Lara,
When a shopping cart is created using BAPI_SCEC_CREATE, it will get approved automatically. We want the shopping cart to go through our approval workflow. Is there any way to achieve this?
Have a look at SRM article below:
[Enable SRM Workflow for External Purchase Requisitions|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770]
It seems to be related to Sourcing relevant indicator (SOURCE_REL_IND) in table BBP_PDIGP.
Check your customizing:
(in SRM 7.0) SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Sourcing > Define Sourcing for Product Categories
Depending on product category you used when creating your SC, its items are relevant or not for Sourcing.
Regards.
Laurent.

Decision point that will atomatically distribute the shopping cart

Hello,
We intend to work with Extended classic scenario.
In the EBP system we should have a decision point that will atomatically distribute each
shopping cart to the next step according.
the parameters: according the product category, value and organizational structure.
We want the system to decide what should be the next step for the shopping cart:
Transferred to the R/3 as a requisition
Transferred to the R/3 as a purchase order
Transferred to a purchase order in the SRM system
Wait for a purchasing group to be transferred to a purchase order in the SRM system
What is your recommendation?
Thanks

Zion,
yes it sounds logic to use Purch Group assignment.
But then you could control PO access by purch group authorization object, instead of using BADI BBP_WF_LIST.
If you have the correct purch group in your PFCG profile, you can access or modify the PO.
You would then have to maintain as many PFCG purchaser profiles than you have purch groups...
If this represent to much workload, then use BADI BBP_WF_LIST to check PO purch group against connected user's purch group.
You could also implement directly all your logic in BADI BBP_WF_LIST (control access to PO doc if employee/proc dep/contract user) but this would be really time and performance consumming. So it is better to compute a PO header "key" to control acces, that could be the purch group.
PS: if you use purch group to control PO access, this requires that each employee is defined in a purch group ! So you may have to combine purch group and other criteria in BADI BBP_WF_LIST.

Items in the shopping cart appear with different price than in the catalog

Hi All,
We are running SRM 5.0 (Classic Scenario) with external catalogues.
After selecting items from the external catalogue and transferring them to the shopping cart, the items appear with different price(the problem exists in the productive system)
The strange thing is that there is no dependence or sequence between the differences. For example, in one shopping cart, one item is with correct price, the price of the other item is not correct (when I click on the icon which is showing item details in the catalogue, the price is different than the one in the shopping cart). Sometimes the difference is significant, sometimes not - if the item price in the catalogue is 22.34 EUR, in the shopping cart is 21.22EUR or if the item is 45.62EUR in the shopping cart is 45.60 EUR. There is no logic.
I tried to create a shopping cart in the support system, with the same items from this catalogue, and they are sent back in SRM with the correct prices.
I traced all OCI parameters, sent from the supplier catalogue, and everything is correct.
At the example given below the price in the shopping cart ordered in the productive system is 69.00CZK, and after that during the test the correct price of 73.870CZK has appeared.
NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION==Durable-KeyClip-keytag%2C+black
NEW_ITEM-MATNR==
NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP==
NEW_ITEM-QUANTITY==10
NEW_ITEM-UNIT==EA
NEW_ITEM-PRICE==73.870
NEW_ITEM-PRICEUNIT==1
NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY==CZK
NEW_ITEM-NEW_ITEM-LEADTIME==1
NEW_ITEM-VENDOR==
NEW_ITEM-VENDORMAT==0176%2F1957001
NEW_ITEM-MANUFACTCODE==
NEW_ITEM-MANUFACTMAT==
NEW_ITEM-CONTRACT==
NEW_ITEM-CONTRACT_ITEM==
NEW_ITEM-SERVICE==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_QUOTE_ID==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_QUOTE_ITEM==
NEW_ITEM-EXT_PRODUCT_ID==23109
NEW_ITEM-EXT_SCHEMA_TYPE==UNSPSC
NEW_ITEM-EXT_CATEGORY_ID==55121504
NEW_ITEM-LONGTEXT_1%3A132==Durable-KeyClip%0D%0Akeytag%2Cblack%0D%0A%0D%0A6pc
I checked the error log in SLG1 for BBP_OCI, and no error message exists. In my opinion the problem can be in supplier system, because otherwise all items will be with wrong price. And at the moment, there are shopping carts in which all items are with the correct price!
It is not something in the user profile, because in one shopping cart created by one user some items are correct, some of them not.
I also checked with the supplier, they said that they haven't change the price, recently.
Has somebody of you met this problem?
In the IMG-> Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.) I have set all parameters for the standard call structure: the URL of the supplier, our company ID and password for their catalogue.
In the Detail view for the catalogue, the following parameters are set
u201CAdditional functions in the product catalogueu201D field:
-     Display product data again in the catalogue
-     Validate product data from SAP Enterprise Buyer
-     Find supply sources
u201CTechnical Settingsu201D field
- Use Error Log
Thanks,
Desi

That means that we are not maintaining material numbers in SRM, so there are no predefined price or info records for that materials in R/3 system, or in SRM.
In the set up of external catalogues, validation of the price is set. Which means that, if a new shopping cart is created from already existing one, and meanwhile, a change of the price is done by the supplier in the catalogue, the new item price will be adopted in the shopping cart.
No prices are maintained in the SRM system, everything is from the supplier catalogue.

Company code not showing in the shopping cart list

Hello,
Can anyone please help me with this?
Currently we are on SRM 5.0 with extended and connected to one backend system. Everything works good. Now we are trying to connect another backend system to SRM. The situation is that we have made the same copy of our backend and using it as another backend system. Both backends will have the same product categories, purchasing organization. We are using BADI to determine the backend system based on company code. When I change the company code backend system for the user in org strcuture, the same company code do not show up in the shopping cart list while creating.
We have made most of the org structure changes, but still I am not able to find the exact reason why the company code is not coming in the list. Can anyone please help?
Thank you
Kishore

Hi Kishore
Whaever you have inherited in the Attribute BUK or Function tab , you can receive that comapany code in the shopping cart.
all sc value comes from Org structure.
run bbp_check_consitency for your user SC.
however now your landacape is equivalent to two ECC and one SRM systems.

With WBS element unable to create the Shopping cart

Hi,
With WBS element unable to create the Shopping cart
Problem description:
Shiopping cart >Item detail > Account assignment
A/c assignment category " WBS element", Assignment no (some no,eg 1000-2 ).System picks the G/L account and business area,unable to create the shopping cart.Getting error message that
"The account assignment objects are defined for different business areas "
Did i missed anything ,please
Thanks
Hareesha

Hi Hareesha,
As Sreedhar has rightly said the issue is definitely with the correctness of the data.
Check the assignment of WBS to the proper business area which you are using to create the shopping cart.Check your org. structure and attributes and their assignments once again.
Neverthless some OSS notes for your reference if in case you can not able to make P.Os or the SC's / P.Os are not getting transfered to back end R/3.
Note 727897 - WBS element conversion in extended classic scenario
Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end
Even after validating the data if the problem still persists please explain it clearly with the errors for further help.

Adding an asterix(*) in the standard field in the shopping cart screen.

Hi all,
In the Delivery address of the shopping cart screen, I need to add (*) in a field text, saying that it is mandatory field.
So, I need information that can help me change the standard field text, to add(*) in prefix. can you please help me find the information to add the same.
Regards,
Abhinay.

Hi Abhinay,
if you are in SRM 7.0 , then you can do it through the below configuration else you will have to modify the relevant HTML template.
SPRO->IMG->SAP Supplier relationship managemnet->SRM Server->Cross Application basic setings->extension and Field control(personalization)-> configure field control->configure control of field of substructure->Metadata for Fields of Substructures and Table-Like Enhancements
In your case if this is delivery address field , then choose Bus. object set type as 07 , Business object as BUS2121 , set level as Item , set subtype as 00000027.
you have to finnd the field name and select that and make the option as Field Visisble, Fiels enable 'Field required' tick.
As far as i know it will make a red asterick in the screen but you will have to write that check in DOC_CHECK_BADI to throw error message.
Thanks

Error in the Shopping Cart view

In the shopping cart view, the list is showing shopping carts that are completed even though the queries are set to not show completed shopping carts. There is no way to make the completed ones go away and only show active ones.
Under the "Status" column these are shown as "approved". Are they not going from approved to "completed" or some other such category even though goods receipts have been done.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Karina

Hi,
In standard, the "last" status at shopping cart header is the approved one (I1129). Shopping cart does not behaves like purchase order or RFX, where you can complete the document and the header status will assume it.
You can check the current shopping cart status at header level in BBP_PD transaction.
After shopping cart is ordered, it will go to approval and afterwards it will assume the approved status, which is the last one at heder level.
I hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

How to select Vendor information as per the line item of the shopping cart

SRM ABAPers,
I want to create a custom report and needs to produce SC's item details with vendor's information.
So I want to select the vendor information(including the partner function- 00000019 or 00000039) as per the line item of the shopping cart, which SRM table can give me this information?
Thank you!
MP

Hi,
To get the SC item details,you an use the FM 'BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL".
Also to get the vendor details,you can use the FM "BBP_PARTNER_GET_PURCH_DATA_NEW".

Getting error while creating the Shopping cart.

Hi ,
I am getting error while creating the Shopping cart.
a.Error in account assignment for item 1 (Item Testing SC )
b.Duplicates of Cost Centre T10063 are defined in SRM (Item Testing SC )
Kindly provide the solutions.
Thanks,
Dev

Try the following in the ERP backend system:
Standard Hierarchy Inconsistencies
Issue: one Cost Center is repeating in more than one node in Cost Center Standard Hierarchy.
Update from SAP Global support, the following was the email received:
in transaction KSH3 please run both the ambiguity and completeness check(Menu -> Extras -> Check and Help functions).
If you think that your standard hierarchy is inconsistent you can check that as following:
Run transaction Extras -> Hierarchy - Master data -> Test. The result shows you if there are in consistencies. If that is the case run also Extras -> Hierarchy - Master data -> Comparison.
Alternatively, you can run the report 'RKCORRH1' (TN SE38).
Run both the Hierarchy->Master data->test and the
Hierarchy->Master data->comparison.
As stated above inconsistency message showed after Test. Run the comparison and you get a similar message.
Once the above two are run, again when you go to test, the inconsistency disappears.

Error while transferring the Shopping cart to ECC system

Hi,
I am getting the below error in classic scenario, while trying to transfer the shopping cart created in SRM (v 4.0) system to ECC (v5.0) system.
"06313 Material differs from material & from t he info record"
I have a valid inforecord in ECC for the material and vendor entered in shopping cart.
Please help me to find out what could be the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
Its difficult to tell what is the issue exactly with the information provided by you but neverthless check the following observations :
1. Did you refer the correct info. record while creating shopping cart for that item ?
2. Check for the detailed description of error in Application Monitor using RZ20 txn. and also in SLG1 for any error logs.
Also check in BBP_PD for the status.
3. Also try to craete a P.R and P.O in R/3 for that material by referring that info record. This is one of the best ways of trouble shooting as you can nail down the issue thats causing this error.
Please check for the above observations and get back to us for further help.
Award points for helpful answers.

How to show purchasing group members in the item data of the shopping cart?

Dear Experts,
for s shopping cart in SRM 7.0 CS, i have the following business requirement:
In the item data tab of the line item details, the drop down field for Purchasing group is there. Right to this field, there is also a link called "Show members".
If i go on this link, than a small table opens that obviously is there to contain such additional information about the purchasers like name, telephone nummber or extension.
Currently, this small table does not contain any of this additional information for any of the used purchasing groups.
Can you please help me understand, how and where i can maintain this information in the sytem, so it shows in the shopping cart?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
thank you very much for the answer.
Actually, the question is not how to create the organizational unit of purchasing group in the PPOMA. This is all done. I just would like to understand, whether there is somewhere a place where i can maintain the name and maybe also the phone number of the buyer himself.
Thus, i would hope to see these details (i.e. the name and the phone number) in that small table that opens up if i click on the "Show members" link that is situated right to the purchasing group field in the "Item data" tab of the details of the line item.
Thank you.
