Hi,
1. make sure email set up is done as per note 455140. To send e-mails after bid is published for the bid invitation transaction 'BID' attach relevant event schema. This will take care of sending mails whenver bid invitation is published or changed.
2. Provide the role BBP_EC_SUS_BIDDER to the bidders to enable them to see bid invitaions and send bids from SUS portal. For this you also need to enable SSO (single sign on) between EBP and SUS. Please refer the below link for further information.
sending RFQs from SRM EBP to SRM SUS
3. It is possible to down load the Bid invitation. Further update the mail id of the bidder with your id so that you can receive the bid invitation smartform. This you can take a print out and send it to bidders. You can make config setting in SPRO 'define actions for document output' to send the bid invitation smartform.
Hope this clarifies all your doubts here.

Bid Invitation (Notification and Output)

Hi Gurus,
I have no clue how to manage Output / Messages for Bid Invitations. I need the system to do the following:
1) Send email notification to Bidders in the bid invitation and also a notification when I make changes to the bid Invitation - How and where do I configure the message
2) Post a notification on a portal
3) Print the bid Invitation with all the attributes (to bidders who cannot respond electronicaly), so that the same can be posted to the vendor and then the purchase can perform surrogate bidding.

Product category comes blank IN BID INVITATION process of SRM

Hi Gurus,
   We are using the SRM Ssystem to process BID invitation.In this it uses the R3MMEXTRACT to get the product catalog information.The Information is fetched from R/3 using the RFC BBP_CATEGORY_GET_GUID.
The data which is fetched from R/3 is then transferred to SRM.but when the data is transfrred for some particular material groups the Product category comes blank.This happens in the case where the material group exists in two or more systems and the the function module is not able to identify from which system it is has to fetch the data.
Can anybody please help me with this.
this code is implemnted in the class ZCL_IM_CATALOG_CONTENT which is the class implemnted for BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
DETERMINE THE LOGICAL SYSTEM FOR THE ITEMS
LOOP AT catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content.
    MOVE wa_catalog_content-cust_field3 TO ls_logical_system.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT et_sc_item_data INTO wa_et_sc_item_data.
    READ TABLE catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content
          WITH KEY line = wa_et_sc_item_data-number_int.
    lv_matgroup = wa_catalog_content-matgroup.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

      wa_et_sc_item_data-category = lv_category_guid.
      wa_et_sc_item_data-category_id = lv_matgroup.
cAN ANYBODY HELP ME IN THIS,...

Hi there,
If you have 2 backends, is there any way you can find out which backend this is supposed to be coming from?
FUNCTION com_category_get_guid
    FUNCTION com_category_get_guid_ol
ELSE.
-------logsys is unknown -> read all categories with this ID------
You could have a look through the code and possibly debug it and see
                FUNCTION com_category_get_guid_db.
                        FORM get_guid_by_id_multisys
table COMM_CATEGORY
Hope this helps.

BID invitation URL and Portal

Hello,
Implementing ECS SRM 5.0
When you publish bid invitations, the URL in vendor e-mail points to the ITS. However, we use the portal and due to that, my request is if it is possible to change the URL to the portal URL.
This should not be done in the EXT_ITS attibute in the vendor hierarchy as this is for the ITS, nor in the service.
What is the recommended way to do this?

hi,
Try using the BADI "'BBP_SUS_MAIL_DESCR'" to change the email contents to contain the EP url.
related notes:
Note 837179 - SUS3.0: Possible changes for e-mail-notification
Note 738370 - E-mail notification: Composite SAP note
The ITS details are however picked up based on the value of the paramater "EXT_ITS ".

Bid Invitation attributes and weighting function

Attributes are transferring to Weighting section. This did not haqppen in the past.
During bid invitation creation the dynamic attributes that are used are
automatically transferred to the weighting function. Along with this
there is a message that is displayed "Specify the parameters of
weighting function". This never happened in the past before
implementing ECC 6 Enhancement pack 5, SAP_BASIS Component: Support
Pack 7 for 7.02, and SAP Kernel: 720 patch 115.
I found note 1662288 but it is applicable to server 701 and 702. Our
server is 550.

Bid Invitation - Technical and Economic offer

Dear consultants,
The process to determine the winner bids in my client is the following:
The bidders are asked to send two envelopes, one with the Technical solution and another one with the Economic offer.
Once the End date for bidding is reached, the technical solutions of each vendor are opened and it is defined which of them are OK or not to continue in the process. Until this point the prices must not be known by the purchasers or anyone in the company.
For those that are OK, the Economical Enveolope are open and the winner bid is defined by price.
Can you suggest me a way to implement it? Is any standard funcionality?
Thanks
Ezequiel

Standard process for PO creation from Bid Invitation or Bid

Hi everybody,
I would like to know what is the standard process to create local Purchase Order (i mean in a extended classic scenario) from Bid Invitation or Quotation.
In the current process, Bid Invitation are created form Shopping Cart using Sourcing Cockpit. Then, Purchaser will send its Bid to supplier (by publishing Bid Invitation) using BBP_BID_INV transaction.
Then, supplier will submit its Bid.
At this step, what it is the standard process (does it exist ?) to create a Purchase Order linked to this Bid ?
The need is to have a PO as follow-on document to Bid.
Thank you to clarify this point.
Regards.
Laurent Burtaire.

Hi,
After the bids are submitted and when the bid invitation opening date arrives, there will be a map for you to compare the bids received.
To see this map, go to BBP_BID_INV transaction and the map will be there when you search your document.
When you click on this map, you will find one column for each of the companies that sent quotations.
You can click on the company's name and then you need to click on button 'Accept', in order to accept the company's quotation.
Then you click on 'Refresh'.
Then you click on 'Create Purchase Order' or 'Create Contract'.
In order for that to happen, you must have defined number ranges and document types for bid invitation, quotation and purchase order.
Let me know if it helped.
Regards,
Henrique

Bid invitations output

Hi experts
I would like to know if bid invitations (restrict and public) can be sent to SUS via XML?
I configurated it but when I save the bid the syssten not send it to SUS but the log is sent with success, when I go to SUS as supplier bider I can't see bid invitation.
Concening output by e-mail with URL for reply, where I can set this URL, I tested and the e-mails are sent but the URL is wrong, no access possoble>
Thanks
Nilson

Hello Nilson,
Bid invitations are stored in the SRM-EBP and not sent to SRM-SUS. You can configure 3 types of logon access to Bid.
A. With SAP NetWeaver Portal
B: SUS is the logon interface for supplier and SRM-SUS has a menu like "Process Bid" which is liked to SRM-EBP. When user select the menu Single Sign On works to SRM-EBP.
C: Usually PO handing and Bid handling person are different in supplier side. In this case you can provide 2 different logon interface for SRM-EBP and SRM-SUS.
The URL in the email is generated based on EXT_ITS attributes in the PPOMA_BBP. You can also change the URL by BADI BBP_CHANGE_URL.

Vendor not able to see bid invitations created one day before

Hi friends,
We are workig with SRM5.0 SP08. I have observed that vendors are not able to see bid invitations processed one day before.
Could you pls suggest the probable reason, if anybody has come across similar problem? Bid invitation version is active and can be seen with purchasers login.
Your responses will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Marcin,
all these bid invitation statuses are not closed. its published only. The problem is bidder is not able to see bid invitations with dates in the past.
Dinesh,
Ur right. There is also problem with search functionality. In fact I can display list of bid invitations only if I am not giving any search criteria.

The sender of the bid invitation

Hi gurus,
     Why the sender of the bid invitation to the suppliers turns to the approver after the bid invitation has been released. how to change to the creator of the bid invitation?
      I mean the email.
      thank you very much.

Hi wang,
There are two ways a bidder can receive / send his bid. One is via mail and the other by looging into portal using his own user i.d & password provided by the purchaser.
As mentioned by Yeu Sheng Teo the bidder gets a mail whenever a bid invitation is sent to him / her.
He then logs on to portal with his user i.d & password and selects the bid invitation and submits his bid which the purchaser can access using Process Bid Invitation link and the status against the particular bidder shows a bid submitted under Bidder / Bids tab.
You maintain the contact person for bidder / vendor using personal data tab in Manage Business Partners link.There you choose employee as contact person and maintain User i.d & password and communicate the same to vendor / bidder.
Hope this makes you more clear.
Award points for helpful answers.

Bid Invitation history (associated Shopping cart)

Hi
I am trying to figure out the tables where a BID invitation's history is maintained. Basically i am trying to link a particular BID invitation number with the shopping cart number it is associated with.
Can someone tell me which table/function can help me find the link between BID invitation and shopping cart.
Thanks
Nagender

Hi
<b>Try BBP_PD transaction -> Best transaction for finding details of any type of document in SRM.
It will give all the tables involved in this case.
It by default works for BUS2121 -> shopping cart
and change the Business object type from BUS2121 (shopping cart) to the Bid (BUS2001* -> not sure chk it out)
and then give your Bid invitation number and execute it. On the next screen, it will display at least one line, and on the line when you click, you can see all the details of that document. Even the back-end document details as well.</b>
Let me know incase you face any issues.
Hope this will help.

Upload SRM Bid Invitations

Hi,
We are trying to upload the bid invitations( downloaded and modified the price) in SRM 5.0 system, we are not able to upload the changes back into system.( Not getting any error messages, when uploaded into system)
Any documentation around uploading the SRM documents and any special configuration required for this.
Thank you
Sreedhar Vetcha

Hi Sreedhar Vetcha,
this functionality is not quite comfortable, but it works. You need to use the indicator U (update), D (delete), A (add) to adjust the document per line.
Have a look into notes 790860, 734060 and 812884 as well 734936 how to use that feature.

PO Creation error after processing bid invitation

Hi Guys,
I need small help from you. I have created one bid invitation with out shopping cart. I had processed the bid invitation. Few vendors have submitted their bids. Purchaser had accepted those bid and approver had approved those bids. Now I have the option to "Generate PO" and "Create contract". If I click on Generate PO button I am getting an error that Purchase order has not been created.
I am unable to process further. Please help me. I have maintained PO number range in both the systems means in R/3 and SRM. Transaction types are also maintained in both the system. What else settings I need to configure?
if i click on "Create contract" buttion then I am able to create Contract in SRM system in held state. When this Purchasing contract will be copy to Backend system? once I chance the Contract status to release then this will be copied to backend?
My requirement is to create Purchase Order ?
Regards
Apparao a

Hi
Please provide your system version details.
In the bid invitation, the Follow-On Document field must contain the entry Purchase Order or Contract.
· In the case of bid invitations that are created manually, purchase orders are local only (product category is not relevant). In the case of direct material purchase orders, a copy (that cannot be changed) is created in the backend. Whether or not it concerns direct material needs to be stated in the item details in the bid invitation. You must specify the goods recipient and purchasing group. Also:
-> Outline levels can be displayed in a local purchase order
-> Bid invitation texts, bid texts, and documents are transferred to the purchase order (however not internal notes).
Also refer to this link for configuartion settings ->

Process Bid Invitation attachments are not displaying

hi

here i am not able to view my attachments.when i click on change button and add new document then i can see my old attachments along with the new one. please help me if any one have faces this earlier...

Hi,
I think landscape of your Dev system is different than your Quality system. You need to put an entry of fully qualified domain name in the table I have mentioned.
The entry in the table should look like :-
MANDT         <client name>
SORT KEY      010
PROTOCOL      HTTP
APPLICATN     *
FOR DOMAIN
HOST          <fully qualified domain name>
PORT          80
If you are using a web dispatcher or reverse proxy server in your landscape, then there should also be an entry for http header.
Thanks
