Purchasing group determination in Shopping cart

Hi All,
when I am creating Shopping cart and choose Free Text Describe what you want and then I find that Purchasing group filed at item data tab is not available.
But when I am selecting select goods/service and choose Product Id then shopping cart is determining back end purchasing group and purchasing group field is shown at Item data tab.
why SC is not showing Purchasing group field for free text items.
Can any one has this similar issue in your system.
I am on SRM7.01 Extended classic scenario.
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
If I choose the one material for the same product category in SC , it is picking back end purchasing group.
But If i am choosing free text item and selects the same product category , Purchasing group field, it self is not showing in SC.
I wonder, if I create a Local purchase group, and create a free Text SC for the same product categoy, it is picking local Purchaing group.

Purchasing group determination

Hello,
We are using the extended classic scenario but we need to activate the classic scenario in the badi BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI because we want to create reservation in R/3.
Now we have a problem with the purchasing group in the shopping cart, the system always determine the purc gr from R/3.
We need to obtain the purch grup from R/3 in case the system creates a reservation and in other case (no reservation) from SRM.
We have tried to modify it in the badi BBP_PGRP_FIND but this is not possible because the creation of reservation depends of the request quantity. Also we try to change it on BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI but we get sometimes an error message about the purchasing organization differs from target system
Thanks in advance, Juan Manuel

Hello Juan
BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP this is std fm determines purchase grp upon responsible product category.
BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI - helps or BBP_PGRP_FIND to determine reponsible purchase group in a sc.
but this badi controls follow on documents need to created
bbp_target_objtype i.e overriding the 'Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)' i believe you must do with this target badi. correct me i were wrong.

Hi
product category are directly related to purchase group. depends upon the settings in the organisation structure , the system determines which purchase group is responsible for procuring this product category.
so back track your product category and purchase group link and this purchase group is made a link with purchase organisation. since product category responsiblity is a mandatory in srm.
Can you update here . where your user was positioned in org structure?
hope that you made a link between purch organ with purchase group?
po1
--> pg1
and moreover check following settings. are you try to procure via describe (spl request)?
Purchase group - responsibilty tab what are the product category you mentioned?
have you maintain Organisation responsibility under the responsibility tab?.
still you find difficulty ?

Purchaser wants to print Shopping Cart Output

We have a requirement where in a Purchaser wants to print Shopping Cart. Currently only in Shopping Cart status, a shopper can print this using the print icon. How can get this icon for a purchaser who can print this document? Is there a way I can add the Print icon in Sourcing area or other areas within Strategic Purchaser role?

Hi Anita,
Which SRM version are you working??If on SRM 5.0 or lower ,see this related thread.It discusses about including the print option in transaction "MONITOR SHOPPING CART".You can try something similar with SOURCING or any other transaction in your case.
Re: Can you print shopping cart from BBP_MON_SC?

Shopping cart Purchasing group determination

Hi All,
I have created Org structure like this
Backend pur.organsiation> purchasing group(Back end)>buyer1
department1-->user1
Buyer1 is responsible for department1
When user1 is creating shopping cart , I found in shopping cart purchasing group field is not showing.
Later I have created Local pur org and Local Purchasing group and Buyer4 assigned to it.
When I create a SC , now purchasing group field is showing with only one buyer i.e Buyer4.
we are on SRM 7 EHP1 and Extended classic scenario.
Is this standard behaviour that SC only shows Purchasing groups of local Purchase org.
Thanks
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.
For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

Group itens from shopping cart into one PO

Hi experts
I am using SRM 5.5, extendeed classic scenario, I am using automatic grouping, my problem is I need that several shopping carts creates just one PO if the requestor are the same.
What BDI can I use ?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi Nilson,
For Grouping shopping carts to create either P.Os or BID invitations there is no need to use a BADI. You have to execute the report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED using SA38 transaction.
You can specify your criteria in that like group all SCs from a particular P.Org, P.Group, Product Category, Product etc.You can schedule a back ground job for this at particular intervals so that it automatically groups all the SCs as per the specified criteria and create either P.Os or BID invitations as per your requirement.
Also in SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Sourcing specify your sourcing criteria as Auto grouping etc etc.
A single P.O is only created when the vendor is same for all the items that are being sourced otherwise different P.Os will be created for different vendors.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Create a Purchase Order from a Shop Cart where Stock is held

A customer requires a shop cart user (Requestor) to decide that they would like to go to straight to Purchase Order for a Stocked Item rather than a reservation being created and stock being transferred from a remote storage location. The customer would like the Requstor to still have the Shop Cart availability subscreen in order to check stock but also be able to enter account (cost) assignment details within the shop cart.
Customer is on SRM_SERVER 550 SP14 with ERP ECC6 SP18.
I would appreciate if somebody could share their thoughts and ideas.
Regards, Kyle.

Kyle,
We are on SRM 550 as well and although we haven't implemented any stores business process in SRM we did look into it in some detail.
If your store uses R/3 or ERP MRP processes then there is not a lot of advantage in transferring the stock replenishment to SRM, you just introduce more steps into what is already a fairly intensive process. If you do not use MRP then transferring stock replenishment to SRM may be the way to go depending on your line of business.
Basic process for using SRM with stores materials would be as follows.
1. Transfer Material codes from the back end system to SRM - needs to be done regularly especially if you are creating new materials all the time.
2. Make the store a business partner so that stock reservations process can be completed.
3. Put materials in an internal catalog and make the catalog only available to users who require goods from the store via the stock reservations process.
4. Also put the materials in another catalog where the source of supply is the external vendor who will deliver the goods to the stores for stock replenishment.
5. Only make this stock replenishment catalog available to users who are responsible for re-stocking the store.
You may already know that stores stock is normally held against a balance sheet account and not a cost center account so stores stock does not require a cost assignment unless you are generating a stock reservation for consumption against a cost center/order.
If you wanted to make both sources available to user i.e. store and external you would only have to make both catalogs available to them.
Hope these thoughts help

Prevent Purchase Order creation without shopping cart

We have implemented SRM 5.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
Is it possible to prevent purchase orders to be created for this scenario if there is no preceding document in the form of a shopping cart?

Hi Marinda,
The only ways to have a PO without SC is to create a PO from scratch from BBP_POC transaction.
you just have to control thsi through authorizations in PFCG.
Kind regards,

Wrong Agent Determination in Shopping cart Workflow

Hi All,
I am having problem in shopping cart workflow.
If we create shopping cart with 15 or more line items then Approval is going to wrong line item cost object owner. However if we create shopping cart with 14 line items then it showing correct financial Approver. Even we raised one more shopping cart with value similar to 15 line items shopping cart and it also going to correct Approver.

After 2 days of debugging i found where is the problem. I am explaing this below.
First i created 2 Shopping cart. First one has 14 Line item which shows correct Agent.
                                              2nd one has 15 Line item which shows wrong Agent.
        CALL METHOD l_o_pdo_sc->get_item_detail
          EXPORTING
            iv_item_guid = l_r_item_guid->guid
          IMPORTING
            et_item      = l_i_item_i
            et_account   = l_i_account_i
*MOD-002:Begin
            et_limit     =   l_i_limit_i.
        APPEND LINES OF: l_i_limit_i TO l_i_limit.
        APPEND LINES OF: l_i_item_i TO l_i_item,
                                       l_i_account_i TO l_i_account.
Case for First SC.
l_i_account_i has value of Line Items. First line item suppose 1L.
After appending the l_i_account(2nd itab) has also first .line item 1L.
Case for 2nd one.
l_i_account has value of Line Items. First line item 1L.
But after appending the l_i_account has no first line item 1L.
Please give some solution to this problem.

Use HR Structure for Agent Determination in Shopping Cart Workflow SRM7.0

We are implementing a Shopping Cart Approval Workflow in SRM 7.0. The process is that the Requester creates a Shopping Cart and an approval process will take effect.
The approvers will come from an HR structure wherein the direct superior (or supervisor) is the first approver. The second approver is the direct superior of the first approver; and so on, until the Shopping Cart is approved. A maximum of 7 approvals can be done in a Shopping Cart document.
I would like to ask the following:
1. How can I achieve this in our WF? I tried to implement BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER but I was not able to activate it (there are other active implementations for this in Shopping Cart).
2. If there are other suggestions on how to accomplish this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Masa.
We created 2 custom expression for our requirement and copied FM /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001 to put values on those expressions. Then, on our BRF we compared these 2 expressions. After putting the Eval. ID on the process level configurations, we were able to see in SLG1 that the fields are populated correctly. However, we just put constant values on the custom expressions so we can proceed with testing.
There is one problem in terms of populating the other custom expression. This expression is for the Level of the Manager. I understand that this custom expression is populated before RR_MANAGER_OF_MANAGER. I would like to understand how to get the next approver in the copy of FM /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001. In this way, I can get the Manager Level from table HRP5581 and use this to compare with the Release Strategy. If this will not work, is there a way to get the work item ID for the WF so I could get the previous approver then get the superior of the that previous approver and then get the Manager Level from there?
Currently, only the GUID and Object Type is populated in the FM. Can I reuse some of the fields from other expressions so I can achieve my requirement?
Thank you very much for your help.

Vendor Responsibility for Purchasing Groups

Hi experts!
We should assign vendor responsibility for purchasing groups, what means depending on which vendor / source-of-supply is selected in the shopping cart the correct purchasing group is assigned.
Do you have any idea how to handle this in SAP standard?
Can we use a BADI to help out?
Many thanks for your ideas.
Best regards,
Corinne

Purchase Group Default

Hello All,
Standard SRM has this functionality to default a purchase group based on product category and organization ID. Is it possible to default the purchase group in the shopping cart for ERP material numbers when shopped from Interna Materials/Services.
I assume this funtionality is present in SAP ERP.
We are in SRM 7.0 ERP 6.0 EHP4
Regards
Sathya

HI
It should work. Try this at your end:
1. Check the Material group(Prod Category ) of the internal material you are using in your Shopping cart
2. Assign the product category in the product responsibility of the purchase group you want to default, in the organization structure. The user department should also be there in org responsibility of the respective purchase group

How to supress field "purchasing Group" in Shopping cart

Hello,
I would like to know what is the easiest way to change the status of the field "purchasing group" in the chopping cart to "visible". In the standard, this field is "modifiable".
We want to have this field visible when we are creating a shopping cart
Thanks for any clues.
Aart

Hi Aart,
Try using the BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI.
Method BBP_SC_UI_CTRL.
Use the fieldname and try hiding it by setting parameter CV_INPUT_READY = ' '
CASE IV_FIELDNAME.
WHEN 'fieldname'.
CV_INVISIBLE = ' '.
CV_INPUT_READY = ' '.
ENDCASE.
Thanks,
Pradeep

How to determine the purchasing group using BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND

Hello Friends
We use SRM Server 5.5 (Classic scenario).
As you know that, purchasing group has the responsible product categories in PPOMA_BBP, when user creates the shopping cart to determine the purchasing group.
In our case, we should determine the purchasing group using other criteria.
MM side is OK to determine the purchasing group using specific criteria.
Because Material Master has the purch. Group information.
In case of SRM, we should develop the logic using BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI.
But Im not sure how to use this badi.
We want to determine the purchasing group based on the following logic.
If described shopping cart without product ID
Do Standard purchasing group determination logic.
Else
Assign the purch group from MARC- EKGRP (Purchasing Group)
Is it possible to determine above the logic?
If yes, Could you give me some information?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH

Thank you for your answer.
I found the way to develop the our logic using BADI: bbp_pgrp_find.
But Im not sure the following logic is correct.
To differentiate described req. or product id req, We check the E_ITEM PRODUCT using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.
IF E_ITEM PRODUCT is blank, Read the category ID to find the purchasing group.
To find the purch. Group, we can use FM: BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP.
Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA Category _ID
Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
ELSE
CALL the customer function to read the R/3 purchasing group from MARC- EKGRP
Search the HRT5500-TABNR using purchasing group from R/3.
Search the HRP5500 OBJID using HRT5500-TABNR
Call the FM: BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA PROC_GROUP OBJID
Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
Thank you
Best Regards
