Querry regarding Roles in SRM

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me the creation of roles in SRM.
Currently we have role called Z_EBP_OPERA_PURCH_10000
which means the spend limit of that role is 10000 euros. This way we have multiple roles for different spend limits.
Now I have to create a new role with spending limit of 30000 euros. In this case can I copy the existing role i.e from the above one and name it as Z_EBP_OPERA_PURCH_30000. will this is going to work?
Or additionally do I have to do anything other settings in the system so that the new role works for 30000.
2 .Also creation of any new role is Job of whom SRM Functional consultant or will it be a job of Security and Administartion team.
Because what I feel is SRM functional consultant can only assign the roles which are there available in the search list and new roles has to be created by a S&A am I rt?
Please suggest me on the above 2 queries
Regards
Sairam

Hi Sai,
1. The creation of the role should work, but don't forget to change the spending limit in the role.
2. The depends on the internal functionning. this is different for every project. Your analyse is not wrong but you should ask this question to some project managers.

Laurent.

Urgent Querry regarding SRM to R/3 PO Creation

Hi All,
I have one requirement where in PO is created in SRM (using Extended Classic Scenario) and the same PO is reflected in R/3 thru RFC.
My requirement is related to pricing i have maintained a condition record for a condition type for eg : ZBRK is the condition type. In R/3 for condition type ZBRK i have maintained condition record. I need to populate the condition record when PO from SRM gets created in R/3.
Is it possible?
Points will be rewarded.

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
See these SAP OSS Notes, which might help ->
Note 907271 - Upload: New condition when you update the item
Note 859049 - SRM 5.0: Restrictions for uploading and downloading
You can try to use BBPECS_PO_OUT_BADI to transfer this condition type to ECC.However, please check that the condition type from SRM do not apply again in ECC else your original price will be recalculated twice both in SRM and ECC..._
Using VMC cache when you modify the PO price schema.
Thus, you have to reset the buffer of the VMC to "activate" your modifications.

Create a new role in SRM 7.0 and Portal

Dear All,
We are using SRM 7.0 with Portal. We created a maintenance table in SRM. This table must be maintained from time to time by the key users. But they want to maintain in from Portal, not from SRM.
When i was using SRM 4.0, it was simple, i was creating a new role from PFCG and assigning the table to the role. Then i was be able to see and maintain it from web. But it is not that simple now in Portal side. Because i created a new role and assigned the table to that role in SRM, but nothing happened in Portal side.
Can anyone advise me the steps ? How am i going to show and maintain this table in portal ?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Hi,can you share your solution with me. I have the same question but not smart as you.
Thanks in advance.

PM Querry regarding old materials

hi everybody
i have a querry regarding how old items are handled in PM . example in our old company we use to maintain a scrap ledger where we use to account our old items (materials/complete eqpts while replacing with new eqpts) etc we use to take into account as iron/copper/brass scrap etc and once they reach a certain level in scrap store we use to go for auction.
How is this part handled in PM?
regards
pushpa

I would recommend Create a New material Type , Once the Item becomes old Transfer all the Inventory to new material type. This way you can manage the Inventory for both the new and old and new materials.Once your old materials reaches certain Inventory , that material can be sold of and the revenues can be credited to Inventory.
I hope this answers your query

Mapping SRM Portal roles with SRM backend roles

Using ABAP as UME when we create a user in SRM backend and assign backend roles, then corresponding portal roles should also get assigned to the
user so that portal roles are not to be assigned separately by portal admin.
Currently for the requirement I followed the following steps:
1. To SAPJSF user in SRM backend assigned roles SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATIONand SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION_RO.
2. Created a RFC SPML of type 'G'.
3. Activated UME-SPML connection in SPRO.
4. Then in PFCG for the role personalization assigned PCD path of portalrole.
But I am not able to achieve the requirement through the aforesaid steps.
Please Guide.
Regards,
Gagandeep.

If you are using ABAP persistency for UME your ABAP roles should appear in the UME as groups. Just assign the portal roles you need to your ABAP roles/groups. Thats it,
cheers

Direct Posting to Contracts and Business roles in SRM

Hi guys,
We have SRM 7 and ECC 6.0.
Please consider the following business scenario:
Invoice creation in SRM against ERP contract that has been previously replicated to SRM;
No PO or GR involved in this process;
Possibility to have one contract to vendor A, and the corresponding invoices for different vendors.
Considering this we thought about the following solution:
Activate Direct Posting to Contracts functionality in ERP;
Contract, supplier and materials / services replication to SRM, through PI;
Allow different partners in the contract, using partner role “Invoicing party” (RS), so that it would be possible to post an invoice to vendor B, with reference to a contract with vendor A.
Questions:
Reporting – as far as I know it’s only possible to run analyses for vendors, which in our case would be vendor A, assigned to the contract. However, we will need to have information about the invoices posted to the other business partners that are assigned to that contract. Do you have any idea if there is any standard approach for this?
Contract and business roles replication to SRM – does the contract and the assigned business roles could be replicated to SRM or is it required any specific customizing in SRM for this to be possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AN

Hi,
For direct posting to G/L in MIRO, follow the path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts > Here Activate "Dir.posting to G/L acct = active" and save.
MIRO - It will show additional Tab as "GL Account" along with "Reference"

Customized Role in SRM

Hi ALL
I have a requirement from the client as below -
We have some PO's in R/3 4.6c with a specific document type ZDM which are basically Ariba PO's replicated into R/3 before making Ariba obsolete and switching on to SRM 5.0.
In SRM we need to do the confirmation from these ZDM PO's, ie we need to create a new role and assign it to the users who are responsible for the confirmation of these PO's (doc type ZDM) and not any other document types.
Currently we have a central goods recepient role who are able to goods receipt all PO's irrespective of the document type. To restrict some of the users to do a goods receipt of the document type ZDM we need to do some enhancements.
Any help on the approach how to solution this will be highly appreciated. Please do let me know if you need any other details or clarification.
Thanks in advance.
Sachin Rao

Hi Masa
Thank you for your reply. I had tried the transaction type, but when i try to create a new transaction type ZDM I am unable to find the number range which i need to assign as objects in the internal and external number range field.
In R/3 it is maintained as DM 690000000 to 699999999.
Can you please advise.
Thanks and Regards
Sachin

Difference between SECRETARY & EMPLOYEE Roles in SRM

Hi Experts;
We are using SRM 7, classic scenario
What is the difference between the below 2 roles? I made role copmarison and found some differences but I am not sure which role to be assigned to which user.
SSS_SAPSRM_SECRETARY
SSS_SAPSRM_EMPLOYEE
Thanks

HI,
The role /SAPSRM/SECRETARY is an additional function specific role similar to /SAPSRM/MANAGER for example. These function specific roles include only authorization for the specific topics needed for this function. Beside this roles all users will also need the /SAPSRM/EMPLOYEE role to be assigned to them. This role contains all necessary authorizations for creating shoping cart und must be assigned to all employees who are intended to use the shopping cart functionality.

Guilherme.

Transport of User Roles in SRM

We are using SRM 4.0 with 3 systems (Development, Quality, Production)
We have created roles where we use Authorization Limitations on
Purchasing Org. level. To limit this we need to enter the ObjectID of
the Purchasing Org. from the organizational structure (ppoma_bbp).
The problem is the the ObjectID is added to the purchasing org. in each
system when the organizational structure is created. So the ObjectID of
purchasing Org. XXXX is not the same on the development system, the
quality or the Production system.
So the authorization needs to maintained directly on each system.
Is there another way to do this?
Or is it possible use the name of the purchasing org. instead of the
ObjectID is the authorization?

Anders,
this would be quite hard to achieve I assume. The org.Mngmnt. has a very complex data model - although you might be able to enter a name into the corresponding field (type string probably), there might be checks within the Org.Mngmnt. SRM Org.Mngmnt consists of BC/HR-(you could say)layers and on top of this SRM is built with its own logic. Let's assume that you will switch off/modify the checks in a way that you can maintain a name instead a number on Org.Mngmnt. -- you still have to check, whether your new value can be stored in all the tables holding the SRM transactional data. I think at this point you would run into hard problems...
Only option I see is to live with the 'wrong numbers' in the non-productive systems -- then, each time when this wrong value is passed into a backend document, you have to replace the Purch.Org.ID with correct for the corresponding backend in a BADI <filling the right values from a routing table>.
But there might be many pitfalls - eg. depending on the technical deployment scenario etc. etc. To be honest... I don't see this as a viable solution. Maybe somebody else has an idea.

Please help me regarding role upload ?

Hi All,
installed CRM business package in portal. took CUA as user base. now assigning of users to roles is a concern for me.
i.e. CRM 4.0 and BW 3.5 already comes with some predefined roles for portal, for ex : PCCCAMPAIGNMANAGER*
I assigned an user X in CRM and BW system and I want the same user assignment to be used in portal. so I used "Role upload". i.e. I uploaded CRM user to role assignments to Portal, so I got that under migrated content --> sap component systems --> name of crm system --> under that my role (PCCCAMPAIGNMANAGER).
Now I added the portal role com.sap.***.CampaignManager (portal specific) to this role by "Add role to role". so now when the user logs in, he will be able to see the worksets assigned.
please note that we didnt do any user to role assignments in portal.
so all the users assigned to this role in crm and doing manual "role upload" can login into portal and view the worksets.
portal role consists of iviews from both crm and bw. but now we just had the users assigned to role in crm mapped to role in portal, but what about bw iviews?
i.e. what happens when i assign user x,y,z for this role in CRM and only users x,y in BW, so in portal x,y,z will be assigned to the respective role as we took only crm-portal user to role assignments. then the user Z will get an error obiviously for bw iviews, so how to ensure that CRM and BW roles are in sync with roles in portal.
is there some concept of role mapping or something like that to solve my problem?
sorry if my question is not clear, but hope that you can help me in this regard
Thank you

could some one please help me regarding this..
I am in very urgent need..
Thank you

Regarding role of business analyst

Apart from SAP implementation,,
If u consider software development services , How a SAP professional can do a job of business analyst??
I mean to ask, what would be the job profile?
I am SAP Business one fresher, Kindly guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
Role of a business analyst is depends on your client what they want to fulfill through you. What reponsibilities to be fulfilled by you, what output expecting from an business analyst during SAP implementation purely depends on clients decision.
In general, you can find many useful hints from web on role of a business analyst during SAP ERP implementaion. Please find below an extract information which I found and most commonly match with all clients.

Regarding role resolution using evaluation paths in workflow

hi all,
Could anybody guide me on the steps needed to configure role resolution using evaluation paths in workflow. IF u could provide me with a sample it would be great.
Thanks in advance,
steve

Hi Steve,
Why dont you check the Standard rule 168. I am sure, that will give you some idea of Agent Determination. I mean, please refer the SWX_GET_MANGER function module.
In this,you can see RH_STRUC_GET is the function module that determines the required Agent/related Org Object using the Evaluation path(see the parameter - ACT_WEGID), here they have used SAP_TAGT.
I hope this helps.

Roles are assiened to this ID.And this bidder is added in live auction.Now when we log in with this user id to participate in live auction following error is coming.
"structure 01 US 6267 A208 : No agent found"
requesting to give solution or how to maintain exact relation between vendor & contact person.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
While creating business partner using "Manage Business Partners" link in SRM portal under Personal Data tab, the user data for employee is maintained and the Employee is the contact person check box need to be checked.
You can create another employee for the bidder / vendor by using "Employee for Business Partner" option using Manage Business Partners link in SRM portal.
Hope this helps in resolving your query. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.
