SAP SRM 7.0 CS - Automated Creation of Confirmations

Dear Experts,
in SRM 7.0 CS, i am facing the following question with respect to the creation of confirmations in SRM.
In our process, once the R/3 PO is created for the shopping cart,  the requisitioner needs to create the confirmation in SRM. Thus, the GR is automatically done in R/3 and the three way match can happen at the time of Invoice Posting.
Is there any possibility, to automate the creation of confirmations in SRM, for items that are below a certain value?
The idea is, to spare the requisitioners from the manual creation of confirmations for low value items.
Thank you very much for any ideas

Hi Iftekhar,
thank you very much for the quick answer. Just for my understanding:
- is your idea usable for Classic Scenario that i have in place? I mean, the PO itself we can not steer/influence from SRM, because it is created in R/3. Or were you pointing to the usage of the BAdis with Extended Classic?
- Or is it possible to steer/change the SRM EBP Shopping Cart with the BAdis you have mentioned (within Classic Scenario), in order to influence whether the PO will be created with the GR flag or not in R/3?
- Or do you mean that i need to go on the R/3 side and use the BAdis there and thus steer/influence the PO at the time of its creation in R/3?
Thank you very much for the clarification,
Regards,
Dima

  • Technical Help on creation of an Object in SAP SRM 4.0

    Being on SAP SRM 4.0, we currently have a requirement for creation of Need Definition( Basically a build up for the contract ). Need being collected from the Backend systems need to be validated and approved by Buyers & Lead Buyers in the SRM system.
    Technically, this task is broken down to below tasks.
    1) Creation of need definition screen - Basically a template where a need can be created with Items, Sub Items and other related information
    2) Selection Screen for Buyers and Lead Buyers - This enables the the Buyers to select the Need Definition assigned to them based on the status. 
    3) Report - List of all the Need Definition( Item and Sub Item)satisfying the selection of step 2. with the possibility to navigate to the Need Definition screen ( Step 1) upon selection.
    Now the question is,
    what technology is recommended for the above Tasks? We thought it would be BSP but do you guys have any suggestions...
    Do we have any issues in displaying the report in BSP? please let me know
    Remember we are version 4.0 of SRM.
    Thanks in Advance..
    Mohan.

    Even though I don't have much knowledge on BSP, it should be a good option. Since SAP has used BSP to develop new screens in SRM 5.0.

  • SAP SRM Contracts Vs SAP CLM Contract

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can you guys please tell me the difference between SAP SRM Contracts and SAP CLM Contracts.
    In which factors SAP CLM serves better than SAP SRM??
    Why SAP CLM came into existence when we have SRM Contracts? What are the draw back and what is not achieved with SRM Contracts?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hello Sanjay
    There are many differences, SAP CLM Contract run in Sourcing and SAP SRM Contracts run in SRM.
    Advantages CLM Contracts:
    - Establish a contract as a result of a project
    - build the draft agreement from a template
    -   - Create your own folder structure to organize your contract attachments
        - Transfer quickly attachments between the different folders
    -   - Download easily multiple attachments with a single click
    - Administrator can create new customer fields (extensions) and customer tables (extension collections) for all      master agreements or specific master agreements
         - New customer fields are immediately available in the UI and as a search parameters 
          - All is done via configuration, therefore no upgrade issues
         - Generation of contract document out of master agreement
         - Template Library with approved legal contract templates for quick contract generation
         -  Possibility to provide end user with flexibility to modify the provided content from the template during contract creation
          - Adjust contract by adding or removing of clauses and sections to the content provided by the selected contract template
          - Multiple content options (alternative clause content) available to provide end user with controlled flexibility
          - Automated transfer of master agreement meta data into generated contact document
          - Creation and transfer of line item table into contract document
    -     - Creation of a unique barcode on the contract header
          - Contract negotiation with clause changes in MS Word are tracked in the contract repository
          - Change of meta data like Agreement Effective Date in MS Word possible and transfer back to master agreement in repository
          - etc
    The are the possibility to integrate CLM contract to SRM Contracts

  • SAP EP 6.0 SP12 Integration with SAP SRM 4.0

    Hi Buddys,
    When I am trying to create system in SAP EP for the backend SAP SRM Server using SAP Wizard in SAP EP, and testing the connection with test connection option, test is always failing.
    In system creation wizard (SAP system for dedicated application server), values for connector, user managemnet have been maintained as mentioned in How to guides for SAP EP and alias for system has been created.
    SAP EP has been installed with option to use SAP Backend SRM Server for Users.After SAP EP Installation, all SAP users in back end SAP SRM can be seen in SAP EP.
    Software versions:
    SAP EP :  EP 6.0 SP12
    SAP J2EE Engine : J2EE engine 6.4 SP13
    O/S : Windows 2003 Server
    SAP SRM : SRM 4.0 on SAP WAS 6.4
    Your help in this regard is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Prasad

    Hi Venkat,
    When you create a system choose "SAP system using dedicated application server".
    The minimum parameters for creating the system are
    application host
    Logical System Name -
    Logon method - UIDPW
    SAP System ID
    SAP CLIENT
    SAP System Number
    server port
    System NAme
    System type - SAP_R3
    user mapping type - admin, user
    Create an alias, specify the userid and password for the system in Personalization and then do the test for the connection.
    Even then if it fails you can go to Sys Admin--> Support --> Sap Application --> SAP Transaction
    choose the system, specify the tcode, specify the gui type and hit go. If you execute the transaction code then the connection is OK.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,

  • Establishing a connection between SAP SRM and MM

    Dear All,
    I am working  for a multi-national company  and now we are thinking to implement SAP SRM  but I have some questions about  communication between SAP MM and SRM. Firstly I want  so share with you our as-is status and then my doubts and question that I have.
    In our case we have two different locationed organizations which are using different version of SAP system and SAP MM. In this  two sap system mostly codes are  and descriptions are different for  all materials and  now we want  gather all data and we want to have  one global code system and (local code also will remain). I mean we want  to call same materials with one global unique code instead of two different codes. We  are thinking to implement  something like coding center that will take local master data from local organization then will assign global code, update table then  with somehow will update SAP SRM.
    For example:
    We have local  master data on R/3 is maintained manually by local user and net item is created locally each country by local user.Coding center will be aware of new creation by mail, automatically. Coding center will update table (adding a new row for each new item) on translator (tool for assigning global code for materials) assign to each new item a global code and category and in this way SRM will be updated automatically based on translator.
    I am thinking to develeop a tool (excel,access… etc.) that will take new item creation manually or auto from local organization  then will assign a global code and category then will update SAP SRM automatically
    Regarding to  tool I have some questions:
    1)     which are the standard communication channel between R/3 and SRM or How  they can speak with each other ?
    2)     Is there any standart batch file (BI or BAPI)  to be able to perform this.Is it possible to develop tool using excel or access …etc. which will manage coding task.
    3)     When we are trasferring for the first time Master Data from MM to SRM is there any standard transaction?
    4)     how the two MD are aligned (i.e. what if a new item is created or modified on MM)?
    5)     standard program (transaction) for aligning  available ?
    6)     ) how this process can be triggered (scheduled using SAP scheduler, event or user driven)
    7)     Where the translator  (tool) should be (R/3 local, SRM, BW, other) --> Enrichment table
    8)     How we can build the communication transaction?
    Thank you very much
    Any comments and answers will appreciated and rewarded

    Hi,
    Have you considered using CCM. You generally use an industry standard code (perhaps UNSPSC) in CCM as your vendors would all have different number (similar to your scenario). CCM is a plug-in to SRM, supplied by SAP.
    The authoring tool is where you can enrich your catalogue, and have approval dependant on rules that you setup. In your case you would possibly have a catalogue per locationed organisation (or R/3 system). These would then be mapped to a master catalogue, and assigned to users as views. This tool is a BSP on SRM. You could also upload these catalogues from Excel (as a CSV) or through XI as XML. We use the automatic transfer of materials from R3 and then there is a report in SRM to feed that through to the catalogue.
    The only thing that needs to be thought through is how you feed the selected catalogue item back to the differing R3 systems, but this shouldn't be a stumbling point.
    Cheers

  • Does SAP SRM support accelarated service procurement?

    Dear Guru's ,
    Can you comment on if SAP SRM supports accelerated service procurement ? My client follows the below business process time to time:
    While requiring to perform emergency services (which are also not high valued service), they directly create service entry sheet entering the service performed and create invoice against it in their existing MM system. They donot go for purchase creation and approval process as the effort does not justify the value of the transaction.
    Now, since they are going for SAP SRM system, they want to transfer the accelerated service procurement process to SRM system as well.
    Does SAP SRM support this business process i.e. creation of service entry sheet or confirmation without any reference to Purchase Order? I donot have any system to check it from myside..
    Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi
    In Std SRM - GR is always is done with reference to Purchase Order
    Therefore it is not possible to post GR or Services without any PO

  • SAP SRM - Purchasing Org Structure

    Hi,
    Pls can anybody let me know, how do we assign a user as a buyer to more than one purchasing group.
    I had used to the attribute "Is Purchaser of" to assign the position of the user to one purchasing group. but
    I could not assign to more than one purchasing group. Even If I do the assignment , system deletes the old assignment.
    We have HR integartion of employees into the SRM Org, So I cannot assign a user under the purchasing group through staff assignment view.
    Right now we are controlling through authrizations, though which during sourcing, shopping carts pertaining to the purchasing group alone is getting displayed. But this has limitations, during direct pruchaser order creation, the default attributes are that of the user and not of the purchasing group.
    Hope I had conveyed the issue, pls help me on the solutioning part..
    Regards
    harish

    Hi Mei,
    Thanks for the answers,
    As you say, I think we need to have doc change badi implemented for PO to determine the right attributes.
    But the point is, if the same user happens to be a purchaser of two P.Organizations
    say germany and US, the attributes right from currency till locations and everything vary.
    For this I thought of creating 2 additionals positions apart from the base position of the user and use "Is purchaser of" attribute to assign those positions under the respective purchasing organization.
    Pls confirm If my thinking and approach are the right , as I am not too sure about it.
    And why SAP SRM has not provided the functionailty as standard as these sought of scenario's are so common.

  • SAP SRM IDOC'S BDOC'S and BAPI'S clarification

    Hi,
    please clarify the following points:
    1) For a particular object say Shopping cart, how to asscertain whether it uses IDOC, BDOC, BAPI. Is there any defined process/method to know which mode of transfer to the other system i.e backend.
    2) Are BDOC'S relevant only to SAP CRM or for SAP SRM also.
    maximum points would be rewarded.
    regards,
    IGA.

    difficult to answer your first point , as each type of document is created in backend in different way, but i know few ,
    in classic scenario --> backend documents are created directly in R/3
    and there following BAPI is used
    1) BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for PO creation
    2) BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE for PR creation.
    in extended classic scenarion --> replication of documents happens using FM --> BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC
    you can refer to the function module  --> and investigate how documents are created in this case.., if you have implemented extended classic scenario
    2 ) regarding your second question ,  i have seen BDOCS only during the replication of master data from R/3 to SRM.
    that is the replication of product categories , products.
    i dont think BDOCS are used anywhere in SRM , i have not seen them being used for creation of documents...
    hope this helps..

    Hi,
    yes, Karsten is correct. Just some background:
    "User Mapping not fully available.." finally means that user mapping is configured to use strong encryption, but the main crypto key for user mapping is missing. Usually, that's because "SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit" and/or "JCE policy files for unlimited strength encryption" are not installed (or the server hasn't be restarted afterwards). The note will most likely help

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Yayati Ekbote

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

    Thanks for responding. Yes, all the backend config are in place since I am able to successfully run an equivalent RFC (BBP_PD_SC_GETLIST) and another RFC named BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL from SE37. The problem seems to be something very specific to the ES. May I request you to run this ES at your end (if possible) and let me know the result possibly with the input and output message similar to the one I pasted in the origincal question.

  • Integrating with SAP SRM 4.0

    Hi all,
    I'm currently involved in an e-procurement project that will have to integrate SAP SRM 4.0 with the EAI solution of our company (webMethods).
    As I don't know much about SRM 4.0 technology, I'd like to know the standard way of integration with SRM 4.0:
    - Is SRM 4.0 capable of exposing IDocs?
    - Is SRM 4.0 capable of invoking BAPIs?
    - If so, how can a Purchase Order put into the arguments of the BAPI?
    - Is SRM 4.0 compelled to talk with XML messages (particularly SOAP XI) or are IDocs and BAPIs a suitable solution?
    - Is SRM 4.0 standard output xCBL?
    - Can SRM 4.0 expose and invoke Web Services natively?
    In other words, I'd like to know whether we are obliged to use the XI Content of SRM 4.0 in order to integrate with webMethods. We have already done integration with R/3 4.6 and we used IDocs with the SAP Adapter. We would like to capitalize on our previous experience and save us from having to assess the feasibility of an integration with SRM via XI.
    Thank you in advance for all your answers.
    Regards,
    /ML

    Hi Marcel,
       Underlying technology is WAS (Web Application Server) which is an enhanced version of the middleware BASIS technology used by 46C. XI is a replacement for messaging platforms like webmethods, so if you are using webmethods with SAP adaptor you don't need to use XI because you are already using a messaging platform. Only reason you may want to use XI would be if you can build upon the XI content available to you. If you are not interested in the XI content then go ahead and use webmethods using SAP adaptor to connect to SRM. I don't see any problem in that.
