RFx response; Add item options

Hi all,
Do you know how to enable the options:
- Add Alternative Item
- Add Substitute Item
- Add Suppelment Item
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,
When you created the RFx, please make sure to select the option "Allow RFx Response Modification".
This allows the bidders to provide supplement, substitute or alternative items to line items in an RFx.
Please let us know if this helps you.
Regards,
Wendy

Problem accessing RFx Response Line Item - Item Specification Group

Hi There,
How does one access the BUYER_SPEC_GROUP collection on the Rfx Line Item Response (ID 772) object? I've read other posts where people are having difficulty but I wasn't clear on their approach. I think I'm accessing the BUYER_SPEC_GROUP collection correctly, and in fact I can see the correct size(); however, when I iterate over the collection I get a null object reference.
I appreciate any help - I've been stumped for days
My code is as follows (output is documented as comments), and I'm triggering on the RFX Response Save:
displayName = doc.getDisplayName();
log.setLogMessage("***** display name: " + displayName);
Logger.info(log);
// correctly returns the RFX Response display name
// get line item collection
lineItemCollectionMetaData = doc.getCollectionMetadata("COLLN_LINEITEM");
log.setLogMessage("***** lineItemCollectionMetaData : " + lineItemCollectionMetaData );
Logger.info(log);
// returns com.sap.odp.api.ibean.common.AbsIBean$ IBeanCollectionMd@68f2f4c3
lineItemCollectionName = lineItemCollectionMetaData.getCollectionLogicalName();
log.setLogMessage("***** line item collection name: " + lineItemCollectionName);
Logger.info(log);
// returns COLLN_LINEITEM
lineItemCollectionValue = lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc);
log.setLogMessage("***** line item collection size: " + lineItemCollectionValue.size());
Logger.info(log);
// correctly returns the size (I've tested with single and multiple line items)
try{
     log.setLogMessage("***** get(doc) returns " + lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc));
     Logger.info(log);
        // returns com.sap.odp.doc.iapi.IapiLocator$@2f81a09d
     LIIterator = lineItemCollectionMetaData.get(doc).iterator();
     log.setLogMessage("***** LIIterator returns " + LIIterator );
     Logger.info(log);
        // returns com.sap.odp.api.ibean.common.AbsCollection$BeanIterator@6757bbc8
     while(LIIterator.hasNext()){
          LICollectionBean = (Object) LIIterator.next();
          if(null != LICollectionBean){
                        // never makes it here
               log.setLogMessage("***** LI Collection Bean:" + LICollectionBean);
               Logger.info(log);
          else     {
                        // always returns the following:
               log.setLogMessage("***** LI Collection Bean is NULL");
               Logger.info(log);
catch (Exception e) {
     log.setLogMessage("***** ERROR " + e);
     Logger.info(log);

How to customize the default add item in a content area

Hi!! I want to know what can I do to introduce a file in a content area, but I don't want to use the default page that portal use. I want to customize the add item option, the same that I have done with the folders. The problem that I have is that I need the user to have the file on his/her pc, and the api add_item needs the file on unix, where de DB is installed.
If anyone has any idea, please help me.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your reply, but maybe i didn't describe my problem clear. My problem for the combobox is that once the combobox has a selected value, then there is no way to clear it in the UI even I remove all the items in its ValidValues. From the user interface, the selected value still stays there but actually this combobox is empty and does not have any items. My question is how can I remove the current selected item in the combobox.
Thanks,
Lan

The RFX before upgrade does not allow me to add items from catalog

hello gurus
I have a problem with the RFX, we did an upgrade to SRM7.0 from SRM5.0.
The RFX that existed before upgrade in the server does not allow me to add new items from catalog.
each RFx I created after the upgrade works fine.
My client needs to work with the RFx still open, add items and make bids.
I have reviewed the upgrade guide and found nothing regarding an update of purchasing documents.
I have
SRM 7.0 SPS03 EHP1
MDM 7.1 SP06
MDM catalog 3.0SP10

in SRM 5.0 the system was MDM catalog. Actually, after the upgrade , i have SRM7.01 with MDM catalog.
i donn´t know if it is about version, SP or compatability issue, but i believe the upgrade not affect the purchaser documents.
Those look as locked to modify. on tap Position, the buttom ADD LINE, only i can see Position, not anymore option like MDM catalog, free text.
it is a big problem, because the client has documents opened. i need to resolve this issue. Actually i am working in a sandbox system, but i afraid to have the same problem in PRD system after upgrade.

How to add HTTP Header Response X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN from OWA published via Forefront TMG 2010 to stop Clickjacking

How to add HTTP Header Response X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN from OWA published via Forefront TMG 2010 to stop Clickjacking. I have put the IIS setting X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN on my Internal CAS Server. However as the OWA page is published through
Forefront TMG 2010, the iFrame tag is not blocked when the page is first opened. Only when you login with your credentials to the OWA page inside the frame and the page reaches IIS on the Internal CAS it gets blocked. I want to block it in the first
instance when it is opened from TMG.

Hi,
Thank you for the post.
To modify the http header, please refer to this blog:

Item info gets blanked while creating RFx response

Hi,
I am facing a strange issue while creating the RFx response (SRM 7.0).
when I try to create a Bid, the item info (required quantity and Unit) gets blanked and this fields are blocked.
Did any one faced any similar issue. Any possible solutions.
Regards,
Francisco Salvado

Hi,
This subject is widely discussed in SDN, you could have searched SDN before posting this thread.
As you do not have info record, then tax code defaulted in the Purchase order by maintaining condition record only with your material (may be with other criteria)which you said item number 10.More details on default tax code, check link:
Default Tax code in P.O
Also check link for SDN rules

Blank Line Item for Rfx Response with Limit Item

Hi All,
I have a problem in rfx response for limit item. When creating RFx for limit item, I am using display limit as 'Available to Bid On' and using short text in RFx line item (not using product code). But when bidder creating rfx response, all field in line item is blank (no short text, product category, currency, etc) and bidder need to click on details to see item data. Is this a standard?FYI I'am using SRM 7.0 with extended classic scenario.
I already try display limit as 'Accept or Reject Possible' but the problem still persists.
Rgds,
Aleluya.

Hello Aleluya,
As per standard system behaviour you user should be able to see these details in the Item overview screen itself. There is no need to navigate to the details of the same to view them.
Only to enter price bidder needs to go details of the limit item.
Have you done any custom changes for the reported scenario here or you are using the standard feature.
Best Regards,
Rahul

RFx Response Required for All Items

Hi Team
Kindly we use SRM 7 EHP1 with business scenario ( Extend Classic Scenario )
IN Restricted RFx Item level there are checkbox ( RFx Response Required for All Items )
We use it but does not work I do not know why ? any help from you ?

Can you be more specific on behavior of system and why you feel the functionality is not working.

Rfx Response - Un-Qouted items

Dear All;
We are using SRM7.0
In RFx response , how the bidder indicates that he is not quoting for certain items. Currently, when we leave the price as zero, the system considers it as free item.
Thanks

Dear HARSHB;
Thanks for your reply.
We are using SRM7 where our system's behavior is totally opposite of what you are syaing.
In our system, while creating RFx response, if we leave the price as zero for any item, the system will display a message Saying:
Line 0001: '0' in the price field means that you are offering the item for free
Line 0002: '0' in the price field means that you are offering the item for free
Line 0003: '0' in the price field means that you are offering the item for free.
for quoted qty, unlike what you said, the system accepts the quoted qty to be changed to zero and in this case, it is not giving the above message i.e. it will not consider it as free item but in price comparison it will show the price of un-quoted items as ??? (3 question marks).
I don't know what is the system standard.
Regards

RFx Response Item Conditions tab hidden

Hi Experts,
We are upgrading to SAP SRM 7.0 and we came across this issue.The Tab Conditions which is visible in RFx at item level is not visible in RFx response (Item Level). Related Web dynpro component: /SAPSRM/WDC_DOFC_QTE_I_D. When seen in SE80 --> Layout, the tab is visible but in portal this is not appearing. I checked the portal i-views and it does not seem to be a problem there. Can you please give some inputs on how to procede with this?
Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
thanks for the suggestions. The problem was in config side and I followed the instructions in the Note 1270412 - Item Level fields become invisible to resolve it.
Thanks,

After approver reject RFx response(QUOT), is that possible tho open back?

Hi Gurus,
We are now implementing SRM 7 EHp 1 and with workflow in RFx creation and evaluation. During RFx evaluation, once the approval reject the quotation and the status will turn into REJECTED. Is there anyway to open back the quotation in order leave it as rejected.
There is few scenario we facing at the moment.
1. 5 lines item. Bidder A been partial award 3 items and Bidder B partial award 2 item. Both quotation route to approval in awaiting approver status. If approval reject bidder A quotation and put a remark to purchaser that bidder B should get the full award (5 items). Is that possible to handle by the system?
2. 5 lines item. Bidder A been partial award 3 items and Bidder B partial award 2 item. Both quotation route to approval in awaiting approver status. The approval reject bidder A and accept bidder B. Could system handle the 3 items back to the sourcing cockpit?
Best regards,
Wind

Hello Wind,
Kindly refer to the thread Re: Quotation in Release Rejected Status, how does the purchaser can review it? , to solve your issue here.
As per the standard functionality delivered with SRM 701, purchaser user should be allowed to view the details for the Rejected RFx response and he also he will be provided with the Undo Reject option to re-submit the response for approval to the purchasing manager.
Hope this helps you.
Best Regards,

RFx response

Hi Experts,
SRM 7 EHP 1
ECC 6 EHP 5
PPS scenario
We have created a RFx and the bidder is able to view the RFx details in the worklist. However the option of providing bidder price details at line item level is inactive. All necessary number ranges, transaction types for QUOT have been maintained. Switch for Adaptable RFx Response Handling is also active.
Please provide pointers.
Thanks & Regards,
Amish

Hello,
Kindly ensure that you are using the correct role here.
With SRM 701 , you should use the new bidder role i.e. /SAPSRM/BIDDER_EHP1 .
Also follow the Sap note 1270412 : Item Level fields become invisible.
Reported issue here generally happens due to refresh of Metadata table entries.
Hope this will help you to resolve the error.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Enter the Product ID in contract which come from the RFx response

Dear, experts:
I work in SRM 7.0 SP09 ,
In my scenairo ,the document flow PR -RFx -Contract (SRM)-Contract (ECC).Sometimes ,the use cant make sure the number of the product .because the number of the product Id has relationship with the price .So the user create the PR with the product description in ECC ,and do the sourcing in SRM .After Rfx ,you user will create contract reference the RFX response .You know ,at this monment ,the number of the product ID is defined .But the user cann't enter the product ID in the contract .
yes ,I guess this maybe the SAP standard .Any body has the suggestions about it ? thanks .
BestRegards !
alex !

understand alex
free text must be converted as product category in the Material Type rather than MATERIAL when you turn to Bid Invitation from the shopping cart .
This was a bug the above behavior . i do remember the type SHOULD be COCO in the BBP_PD.
i raised one oss message long back regarding this behavior and SAP has changed this behavior in the following correction note
so like wise sc to BI - needs to be corrected by SAP notes.( I think me and Tim SChuflin discused in some thread ) since you could not change since the system internally behaves like Product category item type
Note 1440426 - Wrong Itemtype selected when GOA created from SC
Symptom
Purchaser creates Global Outline Agreement ( GOA ) from Shopping Cart with the following steps.
1. Create a free text shopping cart.
2. Shopping cart items will be available in sourcing cockpit for processing.
3. Purchaser creates a GOA from sourcing cockpit with 'Create Contract' option.
4. GOA will be created with items. All the items are created with NORMAL category instead of product category although the product ID is not maintained.
Eventually i tell you one point
when you convert free text to RFX and item type must be PRODUCT CATEGORY rather than Material so that you should not think of to enter a material.
when you convert product id to RFX and item type should be MATERIAL.
Hope you understand the behaviors.
so there is a flaw in the existing system ( i believe after you convert into BI and you may manually change into product category from MATERIAL but sytem should do but purchaser should not do this activities).
p.s Are you having the same behavior for SRM originated shopping cart free text or only for external free text item

RFX Response Header : Fill Display Fields on Header Level

Hi Gurus,
There is a requirement at the client place to add the Display only field for RFx Response Header. Based on this required I have done the following activities.
1. From 'Define Customer Display Fields on Header Level' in SPRO i have appended the ZFIELD in the Response header structure.
2. From 'Configure Control for Fields on Header Level' in SPRO i have made it visible true.
3. From 'Fill Display Fields on Header Level' SPRO i have Enhanced the /SAPSRM/BD_PDO_FE_FILL_HEADER with implementation. And have given required filter criteria. In the implementation Class it has the return parameter as CS_HEADER_DATA. Where i could fill the my ZFIELD.
The field is now displaying in the SRM portal. But the problem is that the ZFIELD is not being filled with any value, even though i supplied it.
Is there any step that is missing to set the value?
Regards,
Hobs

Hi,
The main technique is to do your calculations in PAI of the screen for additional data B for the line item but as you said it is accessed only when you goto-> item -> additional dataB
So you can do one more thing...do the calculation in PAI/PBO of the screen first and in userexit_save_document_prepare recalculate again and overwrite the old ones(or calculate for only the ones which are initial in the item) ..so if he goes to additional data B screen you give the user what he wants and if he doesn't userexit_save_document_prepare takes care of it
user can go to additional dataB only a line item at a time so the chance that he takes all the line items one by one is less(for huge number of line items)..so you just calculate and overwrite the fields in the in the userexit if the field value is empty...or you can recalculate for all the cases and overwrite just in case there may be a problem....
in the screen of the additional dataB
Write logic for calculating the field values
so in the userexit you write like
if the fields are initial..
calculate
else
*already calculated from the screen because user has viewed it
endif.
So you are safe that user can see what he wants and you can reassure that the value will be calculated and stored on the SAVE from user exit
Please check,revert
