Purchasing catalogs in ECC 6.0
Hi,
Integration of purchasing catalogs in ECC 6.0
Can someone help me in the documentation of configuration for ME51N and ME21N.
Thanks,
Seshadri
Native R/3 does not support punchout from the PReq. I know SAP has added the ability to punch-out from ECC6.0, but there are limitations on what it supports. Also, just adding a Catalog button to the PReq (ME51n) transaction is not very useful for end users. The fact is that the GUI is just too hard for your average user, so most companies using R/3 or ECC do not really support an end user self serve model.
So, we developed a new solution that works with R/3 or ECC. It is an awesome looking Adboe Flex/Flash based UI and is a presentation layer. It supports internally hosted catalogs, vendor hosted, buying on behalf of, etc. The solution does not require any new hardware, software, etc.

Attachment transfer issue from Shopping cart to Purchase req in ECC
Hello,
How are you all. Need your expert advise..
We are trying to achieve functionality where documents which are attached on shopping cart get transfer into Purchase req in ECC (Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0). For this we have done following config / enhancements:
- Activated BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW" in SRM with following code for attachment;
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
- Created new document type ECC with t.code DC30 for SRM and assigned the object links for EBAN table.
After performing above task we are able to see Link of the attachment into Purchase req in ECC with document number (i.e. the one we assigned while defining document type in DC30) but not able to open the document in ECC.
Could you please let us know if there is any settings which we have missed for actually opening documents in ECC?
Thank you
RiteshIssue as reported Please let me know why the docs are not uploaded to SRm succesfully .
I am facing the below weird issue .
Easy shopping >Shop> eHiring catalog
Click Transfer to SRM
Now click on the button ‘Details’ and open the tab ‘Notes and attachments’
All attchments are names after the 1st attachment and all have the same file type
Basically you have lost all you attachments here, except 1 (when you click on the link, all links refer to the same document, so not just cosmetic). This is a problem.
When you order this shopping cart and search for it and open it again, the attachment tab is even completely empty, so now all attachments are lost.
Something like this, but less severe, happens in the process a bit further.
- Approve the shopping cart with the applicable approver
- Log in as Hiring desk:
Still no original attachments (like job descriptions).
Now click button ‘responses and awards’
Click tab ‘Items’ and fill out price ‘40’ euro
Click notes and attachment tab
I added 5 attachments
As can be seen here, the docx becomes an xlsx again, but it looks like it just takes over the 1st file type that was uploaded, it can also be the other way around (xlsx becomes docx) when the 1st uploaded attachment is a document.
But in this case, when you click on the link, it will open the right file with the right program, so over here it looks like it is just cosmetic. -
Material/service master catalog upload (ECC-CCM)
SRM have 2 possible scenarios to upload the material master data to CCM:
1- Upload material master data from ECC to SRM and, after, from SRM to CCM.
2- Upload material master data directly from ECC to SRM.
Does anybody know the name of the transaction or report in ECC to upload the material/service master catalog directly to CCM?
Best regards,
Cristiano SoaresHi All-
I have about 3 tricky questions concerning CCM-ECC Integration
1.) Does anybody have any idea on how to upload Material and Service master from ECC 6.0 directly into the CCM 2.0 system. Is there any standard program like we have in SRM called as BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG. I
2.) Also are there any complications or is it possble to integrate CCM 2.0 directly from ME51n? I am aware that PM and PS out-of-the-box can be directly integrated to CCM. Is there a similar way to achieve this functionality. If yes can anybody give me some pointers on this.
3.) Are there any complications involved with uploading service masters and interfacing CCM to EBP or ECC and directly using the service master from CCM to create a Shopping cart (CCM-EBP) or a purchase requisition (CCM-ECC).
I hope some one can throw some light on these questions.
Suitable points will be rewarded for helpfull answers !!
Thanks,

Link between Service Order / Confirmation in CRM and Purchase Order in ECC
Hi all,
Does anyone knows what the possible link is between a Service Order / Service Order Confirmation in CRM and a Purchase Order in ECC ? I heard that this could be found somewhere in the document flow of a Service Order ....
How do we get the Purchase Order number from ECC in the Document flow section of an Service Order in CRM ?
We need the PO number somehow to be able to create a Goods Received document in ECC from CRM.
BR,
AbjuhHello Abjuh,
As of CRM 4.0 (with Service Industry extensions), you can automatically create ECC Purchase Orders from a CRM service order.
It is possible to track the status of the individual service order items with the document flow.
Please refer to the SAP Help for more information.

Transfer purchase requsition from ecc to apo
Hello,
When creating purchase requirements in ECC, they are not transferred to APO although there is model integration. If I activate again the model, the pur req are trasnferred.
In CCR
It gives the error 181 in Schedule line does not exist in APO
Schedule line does not exist in APO
Message no. /SAPAPO/CIF181
And the Queue is not bloqued, and the model is active.
ThanksHi Fernando,
Based on the information given, it seems there is problem in
activation.
1) Check is there more than one model activated for purchase
requisitons
2) Check the master data (purchasing view) has been
maintained for those items in R/3 level
3) Check distribution definition is maintained in APO
customisation
4) I have a query in which, in general PR transfer will be
from APO to R/3, in your case it is reverse, is there any
business requirement?
5) Check transfer to SNP orders to OLTP system in APO
customisation

2. Under Entry Channel we create Local Purchasing Organization.
3. Under Loc Purchasing Org we created Local Purchasing Group with
- attribute BUK as backend company code
- attribute BSA as backend PR type (NB)
- this group is responsible for Entry channel procurement (setting in Function tab)
4. Under Loc Purchasing Group we assigned RFC user which is same defined as RFC user in both EBP and ECC client.
- attribute DP_PROC_TY defined as backend ECC PO type (NB)
5. Attribute CUR define for entry Channel.
6. Remote connection established with the same user defined under Organization Unit
7. Remote user has profile sap_all and sap_new authorization.
8. Material group, Material Type and Vendors are replicated from backend system.

Finally transfer Purchase Requisition from ECC to EBP via report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER. Further the outbound Queue fails with status ANORETRY. Also the log displayed the error Application aborted due to serious problems
SLG1 in EBP issues stop message Document type for determined backend system missing and warning message Grant 1111 does not exist.

Pushing Purchase Requisition from ECC to SRM via XI in PPS
Dear Experts,
Environment SRM 7.0 ECC 6.0 ep4 and PPS 33.0
We are having an issue with pushing the Purchase Requisitions from ECC to SRM 7.0 via XI using the SOA. There is an Application error on the receiving side in SRM (Faulty exchange Data) when pushing the PR from XI to SRM using the inbound interface Purchasing RequestERPSourcing_In. The outbound interface from ECC to Xi PurchasingRequest_ERPSourcing_Out is working fine without any errors.
Please let me know if any one has similiar issues in a PPS public sector implementation and any resolutions?
Thanks in advance for the help,
ScottHI ,
If you have the xml in srm having status "Transfer to external application" then you can use the Forward Error Handling (FEH) concept in SOA. If you have done the required configuration for FEH and use transaction /n/SAPPO/PPO2 in SRM you will be able to see the actual error why xml is failing. Also rememeber to change the value for field Mode of postprocessing Order to 0 in the screen you get after running tranaction /n/SAPPO/PPO2
To configure FEH refer note: 1270081
Hope this helps.
Regards
Sam

Hi,
We are using Punchout catalogs through ECC sytem, how do i monitor incoming log foe Punchout in ECC 6.0? Normally in SRM if i go to SLG1 i should be able to see all the parameters which are passed from Catalog to SRM system, i cant do the same in ECC, i dont get any log for Punchout Catalog.
Am i looking at a wrong place?
Please let me know
thanks
ronnieHi Ronnie,
unfortunately the option you are looking for is not exists in R/3, only in SRM.
Please keep in mind that calling Catalog from Preq or PO has several limitations. this is one of them.

Hi All,
there is a way to use the SRM catalog from ECC system?
Can I buy items from ECC system selecting them from SRM catalog?
Thanks in advance.
Antonio.Hi Antonio,
If I have understood your question correctly - you are looking out to buy products within ECC system using SRM system
If this is the case, you can do 2 things-
1. You can replicate all ECC products to SRM and buy them from standard SRM shopping cart functionality; wherein a search functionality would be avaialable to find out a perticular replicated backend product. Regarding maintenance of prices for these products- you can use 'interlinkages' withing SRM. You can maintain separate price of different vendors for a same product using interlinkages.
2. I am not sure about CCM but if SAP MDM is in your scope along with SRM, then you can replicate all ECC products as standard catalogs items to MDM from ECC. This would require XI as a middileware. Once replicated you can use these catalogs from buying purpose withing SRM
Hope this helps you.

Subcontracting Purchase Order from ECC sent to APO creates a Plnd Order
Subcontracting Purchase Order from ECC sent to APO creates a Plnd Order with the same Purchase Order# in APO.
We want to influence the source of supply for this internally APO created planned order.
For this, I would like to know what user exit can be used, I have already looked at
(1) BADI: SOURCE DETERMINATION
(2) CIF INBOUND EXTERNAL PROCUREMENT on APO side.
Any other user exits or has someone worked on this scenario.
Thanks
Kumarsources of supply for planned orders can be changed with the following BADI method:
Definition name /SAPAPO/RRP_SRC_EXIT
method RRP_USEX_SOURCE_FILTER -

Qualificatio catalog in ECC-6.0
Hi, Ananatha,
Thanks for your prompt response regarding my posted querries related to LOP 1/2 day and Payroll.
I have to implement PD also here, in this i have configured Appraisal System and Training & Event management. Now Qualification Catalog is to be configured next. My doubt that is it mandatory to configure Qualification catalog if i have to implement Appraisal system and trg & Event management.
If it is required then do you have any Document containing steps of customizing the qualfication cat in ECC-6.0.
Thanks and regds

How to access more than one catalog from ECC
We use the catalogs in SRM from ECC, ME21N. But we are only able to access one catalog. Is there any way to access different catalogs for the users. We have set up different catalogs in customizing but are not able to selcet them.
At the moment we have one for each country, and would like to be able to select among theese, not create one big one? I have heard of an ad-on from SAP is this correct? Any advice on further readings or suggestions to solutions on this problem?
Regards
IvarHi Ivar,
We are also having almost same requirement for multiple catalogs.Can you please let me know how to proceed further on this.
Right now we are able to config only 1 catalog and its working but we need two more to be added.

Use more than one Catalog from ECC 6
At the configuration point in ECC 6 Materials Management ... Web Services: ID and Description I can describe more than one catalog URL address , but the user see in transaction ME21N or ME51N only that catalog with the default flag.
Is it possible to use more than one catalog by these SAP standard functionality?Hi Markus,
no!
Unfortunatly, it is just posible to use ONE catalogue. At the beginning of development there was kept open the posibilitiy to make posible the use several catalogues in a later state. That`s mainly the reason why more than one can be entered in customizing. But the functionality of using more than one was never developed later on.
