Shop vicariously through me!!!

There are quite a few of these "what should I buy?" posts and everyone seems to love giving their opinions so consider this:
I'm in Japan and I'll be here at least another year. I live in a tiny apartment with a tiny desk, my Logic use has outgrown my PBG4 and I'm tired of being hamstrung by this tiny screen.
My first instinct is to buy a Mac Pro and one of those big Dell/BenQ multi-input displays. That way Logic is all set for horsepower and display size and I can even watch movies and play Gran Turismo on a nice big screen. Trouble is, this all has to go home (USA) someday. Putting a mac pro and a 24" display through baggage on a plane makes me nervous and I wonder if shipping it is very cost-effective and/or safe.
An imac would be a more streamlined solution and it should suffice for Logic but it's probably only a little easier to ship home and then I wouldn't have the display input options I could get with a third-party display.
I could get a MB/MBP and a big external display but then I'd worry about outgrowing the hardware again and I'm not really sure all that will fit on my desk.
Any suggestions?

You can only use this BADI for customer defined fields. It will not allow you to change standard fields.

Creation of shopping cart through HTTP request

Hello all, I am trying to create a shopping cart through a HTTP request.
The URL I am managing is the same that the one that the Web Service BBPSC01 uses.
Using the following code I cannot connect to the server in background, the error "This browser is not supported" is launched.
In addition to this, I can open the URL successfully via R/3 when executing online.
Help very appreciated!
Thanks.

Creating several shopping carts through interfaces

Hello all, I have the following requeriment and I want to know if this is possible.
The requeriment is to have an interface that calls the creation of a shopping cart in SRM, so many times as data will be inside a file. The interface will be in another R/3 system.
I have thought to call the service BBPSC01 with some parameters, each time that needed, is this possible?
How can I do this?
Is there a BAPI that emulate the shopping cart creation process?
Any suggestion, pleasE?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Check below FM
1- BBP_PD_SC_CREATE
2- BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL
Hope this will solve your problem

Create Shopping cart (or PO) in SRM/EBP from a flat file

Hi all
I am looking for a function module or BAPI or any program that i can use to create shopping cart in SRM from a flat file.
Is there a way to set up a break point in ITS transactions that are used to create shopping carts through portal? Can we debug HTML templates?
If any one knows how to do any of those please let me know.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sreenivas

Hi,
You would get better response for your question from
Internet Transaction Server (ITS)
Regarding your question about break point. yes it can be done.

Purchase Order not created for a Shopping Cart

We have a few Shopping Carts created in SRM which did not transmit as PO to our backend R/3 system. This happened because our R/3 system went down for a couple of hours and the Shopping Carts were created during this time. We tried to submit these Shopping Carts through the Application monitor later and the SRM system gave a message "Processed Successfully". However, POs for these Shopping Carts were not created and the Shopping Carts have a status of "Item in transfer process".
The Shopping Carts have already got a PO number assigned to them through the SRM system. However these PO's have not been created in the backend R/3 system
We are struggling to find the failed RFC calls with the help of BASIS so that we can possibly reprocess them. Alternatively we are also looking for a way to retrigger the PO creation for these Shopping Carts.
I need ideas to resolve this issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Susmit

Not sure if you received an answer or not, but this is what we have had to do in the past:
1. Run BBP_PD for the shopping cart to see what the purchase requisition number will be on the backend system. The requisition number will still be provided even if it fails to transfer to the backend.
2. Run FM BBP_PD_SC_RESUBMIT. The object key field will be the requisition number; the object ID field will be the shopping cart number.
Hope this helps.

Shopping Cart needs to be Held Status when created from Upload Program

Hi All,
Shopping Cart is created from Custom Upload Program. In Upload Program, we used BBP_PD_SC_CREATE, BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE, BBP_PD_SC_SAVE and BBP_PD_SC_COMMIT.
Once the Shopping Cart is created from this upload program, I want ot put Shopping Cart as Helad Status.
I exported the parameter I_PARK as 'X' in BBP_PD_SC_CREATE and BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. But it is not working i.e., the SRM system is not keeping the Shopping Cart as Held Status.
Scenario:
I am uploading the Shopping Cart Items (Shopping Cart creation) on behalf of my manager. My manager has to approve Shopping Cart.
If shopping cart is created maually and Shopping cart value is within the spending limit, work flow is not triggered approval proceess. If I am creating shopping cart behalf of some one, I am adding the approver manually while creating.
When ever we create shopping cart through custom upload program, the shopping cart needs to be approved by the Requestor (my manager, to cross check shopping cart items). So I want to park the Shopping Cart and I want to add Approver as my manager.
Please suggest me or guide me to get the solution for my issue.
Thanks,
Sudarsan

Error on shopping cart : "No purchasing group exists"

Hi,
While the user tries to add items to shopping cart through portal, he is getting error "No purchasing group exists" which stops the user from saving the shopping cart.
We have checked org structure where all the necessary configuration is existing. Please suggest what could be the reason for the error.
Thanks in advance.
Tejas Jani

Hello Tejas,
System is not able to determine the PGrp. 3 things are important for determining PGrp
a. Organization Unit
b. Product category
c. Logical System
To check whether its a data issue or system issue. Best way is to update one of the PGrp
1. Ensure in function tab PGrp is flagged & assigned to backend PGrp
2. Maintain Responsibility tab Product responsibility as * & Organization responsibility as highest node in Org structure.
Now, create a new shopping cart. It should pick this PGrp. If not, check if you have implemented BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI in system.
Hope this helps.

Approval Preview not displayed in Shopping cart

Hi,
On creating shopping carts through Plan Driven procurement, we are changing the cart status from the default "Ordered/Approved" to "Awaiting approval". The approvers are displayed in BBP_PD for this Shopping Cart, however the same is not visible in SRM portal.
We have also refreshed all the templates, but the Approval tab and Overview link, is not displayed in shopping cart.
We are on SRM 5.0, 5.5 server, Extended Classic scenario with SP 17 and have implemented N-step approval work flow BADI to determine approvers based on the cost center entered in shopping cart.
Kindly provide inputs to have approvers displayed in SRM portal.
Thanks,
KB

Hi,
SAP does not provide the standard solution for triggering the WF from external system ( ECC )... any document create outside the SRM, system will automatically put the status to approved... even 0-Level wont trigger... you can activate the nstep workflow by following step by step help...

Creating PO in SRM through external interface

Is there a way to create a PO in SRM through an external interface without creating a shopping cart? I see that we can create a shopping cart through BBP_PD_SC_CREATE_EXTERNAL. But we need to create a PO in the SRM system without the shopping cart. Is this possible? It's neither the classic nor extended classic nor the standalone SRM scenarios that all have the shopping cart generate the PO. Is there a way to create the PO without the shopping cart? Is there a BAPI to do this?
Right now, we generate an XI ABAP server proxy which allows us to push the PO information from an external system through XI into SRM, but we do not know what SRM function we need to invoke.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I can give you the technical example of how to create a PO. You can get the sample logic of creating PO's from the program MBT_PO_MASS_CREATE.

Order shop paper - default setting - can be restricted to planning plant

Hi,
We define Shop papers, through transaction code OIDF. Next we assign the shop papers for Order types through OIDG. Here, there is no restriction to Planning Plant.
Is there any possibility, to make setting to restrict for Planning plant to print shop papers.
For example,
We have Planning plant 1000 and 2000.
We have Shop papers Z001, Z002 and Z003
We have order types, PM01, AND PM02.
Here we made setting in OIDG,
Doc type   Paper    Selection
PM01        Z001          X
PM01        Z002          X
PM01
Z003
PM02        Z001
PM02        Z002
PM02        Z003,         X
I think this is the possibility in SAP.
Here we need to restrict with Planning Plant,
Planning Plant    Doc type         Paper          Selection
1000                    PM01              Z001            X
1000                    PM01              Z002            X
1000
   PM01
Z003
1000                    PM02              Z001
1000                    PM02              Z002
1000                    PM02               Z003           X
2000                     PM01              Z001           X
2000                     PM01              Z002
2000                     PM02              Z001            X
2000                     PM02              Z002            X
2000                     PM02              Z003            X
Is this any possibility to restrict the default printing of shop papers with respect to Planning Plant with Order type.
Please provide your suggestions.
Raja

Raja ,
Have you tried the the User Specific Print Control values (OID3).
Switch-on the PM-Specific fields which opens the Plant field. Then make settings as required making sure the User field is "*".

Has anyone set up a Paypal account that is shared with another non-BC website or eBay shop

I am needing to set up Paypal on a 2nd site for 2 separate clients. Both new sites are on the BC platform using the standard Paypal options in eCommerce thus requiring me to set in the website preferences in Paypal the return url address.
My issue is that one of these clients has another website taking Paypal payments and the other client has an eBay shop paying through Paypal.
I am trying to understand how I can set up the BC sites payment gateway in view of the fact that we need to set the return URL address in the Payal preferences which of course is no good for the other sites sharing this same Paypal account.
Has anyone done anything similar and if so can you tell me how I should go about it preferebly without having to create an additional Paypal account.
BC support could not help out and advised contacting Paypal who were quick to tell me it is all in the email acocunt I use until I expalined we use the API setting a return URL. I am now searching for a practical solution.
Many thanks.

In the paid partner form there was a reference to setting up the PayPal std gateway saying that the PayPal Customer Id must not only be the primary email on your Paypal accunt but it went further to state that this email accunt must be yru admin account email address of your website... This is the first time I have ever heard this. Is this really so.
In reference to my original question... does the email address we enter into PayPal Customer Id have to really be the primary or can you use one of the alternate email addesses becasue advice form PayPpal is just to provide one of the emails set up in Paypal.
UPDATE 4 July:
After spending several hours on the Paypal customer service merry-go-round over 2 days I have been finally advised that becasue BC requires the Paypal preferences to set the return URL back to the BC website we can't share the Paypal account across multiple websites. Obviously paypal have not heard of the concept of profiles where you could set preferences against the 8 individual email accounts you are allowed to set up and use for otehr payment processing.
A word for the wise before you rush in to set up an additional Paypal business account - there are some rules you must follow:
Your Paypal accounts must be in different names (real names not the email address)
You can't use the same bank account or credit card across any 2 Paypal accounts
You can't share email addresses between Paypal accounts
Other than that - it's simple...
The above is the situation with Paypal standard business accounts - If anyone has better information please share
