Shopping cart approvers are picked from ECC

Hi Experts,
we are working in SRM 5.0,
our approvers are maintained in ECC and the logic is built to pick the approvers .
please advise on the below queries.
1. we are unable to view the approvers in approval preview before the SC is ordered , can see approvers in approval preview only when the SC is ordered and workflow is triggerred.
2. SC at item level i:e, item 1 & 2 created using CC AAA & item 3 & 4 created using BBB.
what workflow to be activated and any BADI to used to achieve this.
we are new to Application controlled workflow. its really urgent.
Rgs,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Escalation piece you also need to put in BADI which Konstantin Anikeev mentioned above. How exactly you are determining from ECC? Are you using the HR hierarchy to determine approver? If so then you can easily determine escalation piece based on the Chart of Authority of HR.
Hope this help.
Thank you
Ritesh

SRM table where shopping cart approvers are kept

Hello,
in which table are approvers for a shopping cart stored? I need to technically change an approver for a particular shopping cart such that when the user logs in, he sees the new approver and the new approver has the shopping cart to approve in his list.
thx

Hi
Your question is not clear, but I can suggest you one thing you can substitute the approver technically in SRM GUI / Or in SRM portal.

Change the purchasing group of shopping cart created in SRM from PR in ECC

Dear All,
When a PR is created in ECC and transferred to SRM using program BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER, the purchasing group does not get assigned correctly in the SC created in SRM.
I tried implementing Badi BBP_BADI_EXTREQ_OUT to resolve the same.
But it is not working.
I've passed the value 'O' to the field PROC_GROUP_OT and the puchasing group value to the field PROC_GROUP_ID of the parameter ORG_IMP. But I'm not sure wat value has to be passed to the field PARENT_GUID of the same parameter and tried passing the PR number once and the item number once to it.
But none of it is found to be giving the expected results.
The purchasing group found in the SC in SRM is different from that given in the PR in ECC.
The code that i've written in the Badi implementation is as follows.
move transtab_imp to ls_transtab.
ls_org_imp-PROC_GROUP_OT = 'O'.
ls_org_imp-proc_group_id = ls_transtab-eban-ekgrp.
read table item_imp into ls_item_imp with key item_number = ls_transtab-eban-bnfpo.
if sy-subrc = 0.
ls_org_imp-parent_guid = ls_item_imp-item_guid.
endif.
APPEND ls_org_imp to org_imp.
Can anyone help me to resolve the issue??
Thanks,
Kayal

Attachment transfer issue from Shopping cart to Purchase req in ECC

Hello,
How are you all. Need your expert advise..
We are trying to achieve functionality where documents which are attached on shopping cart get transfer into Purchase req in ECC (Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0). For this we have done following config / enhancements:
- Activated BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW" in SRM with following code for attachment;
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
- Created new document type ECC with t.code DC30 for SRM and assigned the object links for EBAN table.
After performing above task we are able to see Link of the attachment into Purchase req in ECC with document number (i.e. the one we assigned while defining document type in DC30) but not able to open the document in ECC.
Could you please let us know if there is any settings which we have missed for actually opening documents in ECC?
Thank you
Ritesh

Issue as reported Please let me know why the docs are not uploaded to SRm succesfully .
I am facing the below weird issue .
Easy shopping >Shop> eHiring catalog
Click Transfer to SRM
Now click on the button ‘Details’ and open the tab ‘Notes and attachments’
All attchments are names after the 1st attachment and all have the same file type
Basically you have lost all you attachments here, except 1 (when you click on the link, all links refer to the same document, so not just cosmetic). This is a problem.
When you order this shopping cart and search for it and open it again, the attachment tab is even completely empty, so now all attachments are lost.
Something like this, but less severe, happens in the process a bit further.
- Approve the shopping cart with the applicable approver
- Log in as Hiring desk:
Still no original attachments (like job descriptions).
Now click button ‘responses and awards’
Click tab ‘Items’ and fill out price ‘40’ euro
Click notes and attachment tab
I added 5 attachments
As can be seen here, the docx becomes an xlsx again, but it looks like it just takes over the 1st file type that was uploaded, it can also be the other way around (xlsx becomes docx) when the 1st uploaded attachment is a document.
But in this case, when you click on the link, it will open the right file with the right program, so over here it looks like it is just cosmetic.

Shopping Cart is not Picking Pricing from Inforecord.

Dear All Guru's,
Kindly help me in this matter , as i m creating a Shopping Cart and I have also created an INFORECORD for the material which m using in this Shopping Cart.Here in INFORECORD i had maintained SCALES in Pricing PB00 ( Gross Price ) , it is maintained as for Qty 1 the Price will be 500 EUR & for Qty 16 the Price will be 450 EUR.
As the Shopping Cart is created for Qty 16 , but even then the Price being picked is 500 EUR , But as per Scale Pricing the Price
picked should be 450 EUR as per Qty 16.
I m using this Scale Scenario first time in Shopping Cart , pl. guide me that is it really Possible to fetch Scale Pricing from INFORECORD to Shopping cart?

Thanx in advance.

Hello,
As far as I know, the standard behaviour about which price should be displayed in the SRM shopping cart when you have an assigned info record to the cart is that the price would not be fetched from the backend to the EBP system.
In SRM, the SC shows the product price and not the info record one (as you have assigned the product to the SC).
You can use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to fill the info record price during the shopping cart creation.
However, as your shopping cart takes the info record price, perhaps this behaviour has changed in new release.
Question 6 of FAQ note 550071 refers to this topic.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Shopping cart not getting released from sourcing cockpit

Hi,
Am trying to release a shopping cart from sourcing, but it's not getting released. Mentioned below are the methods I've tried and area'a which I verified for possible error. The major challenge is it's not throwing any error message. Your inputs & guidance are really helpful & appreciated.
- Moved the SC to workarea in sourcing cockpit and tried creating PO - Failed w/o any error.
- Verified in backend BBP_PD - No error message
- verified in rz20 - No error message.
- Attributes used in SC - Verfied all the major values such as Vendor, account assignment, basic data etc - No issues.
- Tried creating PO creation in backend w/o posting it - able to create PO with same data.
Thanks & Regards
Aswini

Hi
Check it up any errors in the web application monitor. you must get some error message..
update us what was the error message. did you assign the vendor before you create a vendor in the sourcing cockpit?
are sc again goes back to worklist?

SRM – Shopping Cart approvers in parallel

Hi all,
I’m looking for a function to get all approvers of my shopping cart during the creation. I want to get them all for a WorkFlow approval in parallel and not in sequential.
Actually, I implemented a Badi (/SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER) for agent determination in the WF. It works fine to determine the good agent but … only one. If I add others agents, they’ll be in sequential approval.
Do you know how I can change the level of approval from sequential to parallel? And during the creation of a shopping cart, how get all approvers?
Thanks by advance and sorry for my English

Hi,
From SRM 701 it is possible to have parallel approval process with the feature Parallel Approval with Overlapping Responsibility
activate the Customizing switch Parallel Approval with Overlapping Responsibility (SRM_701_APF_IN_PARALLEL) in Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under:SRM Server -Cross-Application Basic Settings-Business Workflow -Activate Parallel Approval with Overlapping Responsibility

WS14000133 Shopping Cart approvers can be modified.

Hi SRM Gurus,
I'm currently working with SRM_SERVER 500(SAPKIBKS09) release, we are using Approval Shopping Cart n-Level (BADI) workflow. Today we discovered that the requester is able to change any approvers that are propose by system. How can we restrict this functionality !?
Cheers,
Raphaë

Hi,
The service for the Approval Preview is "BBP_PREVIEW".The corresponding templates to be modified are "SAPLBBP_PDH_WFL_1000(for graphic view)" and "SAPLBBP_PDH_WFL_1100(For table view)".
 we have removed the ADD APPROVER button at our place and the foll code does that:
In "SAPLBBP_PDH_WFL_1000".
`BBPGroupBegin()`
`if ((WF_SCENARIO == "SC") || (WF_SCENARIO == "CF") || (WF_SCENARIO == "IV") ||
 (WF_SCENARIO == "RT") || (WF_SCENARIO == "CM") || (WF_SCENARIO == "PO"))`
`BBPButtonBegin()`
 `if ((GV_ADD_APPROVER_DISABLED == "X") || (GV_IS_VIEW_ITEM_LEVEL == "X"))`
 `BBPDisabledButton(BUTTON_ADD_REVIEWER.label)`
 `BBPButtonSpace()`
 `BBPDisabledButton(BUTTON_ADD_APPROVER.label)`
 `else`
 `BBPButton(BUTTON_ADD_REVIEWER.okcode, BUTTON_ADD_REVIEWER.label)`
 `BBPButtonSpace()`

`end`
In "SAPLBBP_PDH_WFL_1100":
 `end`
`BBPButtonEnd()`
`BBPVSpace()`
`BBPVSPACE()`.
 If you need to disable the button,use,
`BBPDisabledButton(BUTTON_ADD_APPROVER.label)` instead of commenting the line for the ADD APPROVER button.
HTH.

Wrong Price in Shopping Cart after PR Changed in ECC

Hi All,
I'm using SRM extended classic scenario, and i have the following scenario:
1. Create PR in ECC using material assigned to contract (contract exist both in SRM and ECC) with quantity 8 PC. This PR document type didn't use release strategy.
2. Transfer PR ECC to SRM using BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER
3. SC created in SRM with quantity 8 PC and already assigned to the same contract
4. Run report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED to create PO with contract (test mode)
5. No error message when simulate create PO
6. Change PR quantity to 4 PC in ECC
7. Run BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER in ECC
8. Shopping cart quantity updated to 4 PC in SRM, but ITEM PRICE BECAME ZERO
9. Run report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED to create PO with contract (test mode)
10. Got error message 'Enter the price or deselect the 'Invoice Expected' indicator
When I change PR in ECC, I only change the quantity, not the valuation price. Why the price is changed to zero in shopping cart?
Does anyone here ever face the same problem?

problem solved. I've raised oss message and got note 1451988

Shopping Cart Approvers for changed shopping carts

Hi
We're currently working on a patching process and are having problems with shopping cart approvals
We have a 2 stage approval for carts over £75K
The scenario that is not working is
The approver 1, approves the cart
Then approver 2 rejects the cart
The shopper then changes the cart by increasing the value
The workflow should resend the cart back to approver 1 but it sends the cart to approver 2
What changes need to be done to send the cart back to the original approver ?

For for n-Level Approval Shopping Cart sub workflow( 14000134 ) the workitem status is set in the container element APPROVE_OR_REJECT when Sc is rejected it is set other than Zero and when is approved it is set to ZERO check in the workflow log whether this conatiner element is getting populated or not.

Hi Raju,
Base on my test in excel 2013, it works fine.
Create a new excel file and save as xls
Add data (data validation for dropdownlist)
What’s the version of your excel? Could you reproduce that issue in a new file? You may share the sample file on the OneDrive.

Completed shopping carts again reapearing in the sourcing cockpit

Hi,
We are facing a problem for the sopurcing cockpit. There are some shopping carts which are created from the catalogs and after approval purchase orders are getting created without any problems.
Next day these shopping carts are coming into the sourcing cockpit. This is happeneing only for a perticular company code whose corresponding backend R/3 resides on a differetent box.
My question is if the report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 is run and during that time if the backend R/3 is not available what will be the result. Can this cause the shopping carts to reappear into the sourcing cockpit.
We are on SRM 5.
Thanks and Regards
Manoj Upadhyay

Hi,
maybe the two notes
SRM: 1134786
Backend: 1123548
help. They include most of the relevant notes with corrections for BBP_GET_STATUS_2.

Hide navigation area from Shopping Cart window

Hi All,
We are facing a strange issue in Shopping Cart Page..
From the POWL screen when we are clicking on "Display" button it is opening com.sap.pct.srm.core.iv_shopprof iview in a new window. But all the navigation are still showing in the page.
We set Launch in New Window property as Display in Separate Headerless Portal Window but still it is showing navigation area in the scree.
Can any one tell me how to hide navigation area from the screen.
Regards,
Sambaran Chakraborty

Hi Yatin,
Thanks for your reply.
I just find a easy way to solve this issue. I changed the Launch in New Window property to Display in Separate Window and it works.
But now i am facing the same problem for Purchasing iview under Operational Purchaser role. All links in that BI report (Purchasing iview) are opening in a new window with navigation area.
I am not able to apply the same above idea in this case, as for all BI links there is no such specific iview present, they are jsut a application links coming from backend.
Can you provide some input on this..?
Regards
Sambaran

Shopping cart delivery address not transferred to ECC PR

Hi Forum,
We recently upgraded from SRM 701 to 713 and to ECC EHP6. After upgrade the SC Delivery address is not getting transferred to back end PR instead the PR shows Plant address as delivery address. As per this wiki article
Shopping Cart Delivery Address transfer from SRM to ECC - Supplier Relationship Management - SCN Wiki
the standard behavior is that SRM Delivery address should be transferred to PR but to our OSS SAP replied that standard behavior is opposite i.e.
PR Takes Plant address as delivery address as default.
Response from SAP:
Please see that the standard fields of EMLIF and LBLKZ are not
available in BAPI structures. This is the standard functionality of
BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE.
If you are using a release newer than Release 4.7 , which I believe
you are , you can use BAPI_PR_CREATE instead. However , this is not
possible using BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE.
I am sorry that I do not have a better answer for you at this time but
the behavior that you are experiencing is standard SAP system design.
Q1. What is the standard behavior - SC Delivery address is transferred to PR or Plant address is used in PR?
Q2. What are the changes required to transfer SC Delivery address to back end PR?
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hello Anubhav,
Its unfortunate that SAP has not tested the transfer of Delivery Address from Shopping cart to ECC Requisition.
SRM uses BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE which is deprecated in the newer releases of ECC. This is why the Delivery address is no longer transferred to ECC.
Check this note:2132886 - BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE - Delivery address is not updated
Interestingly I found another note in SRM area which asks customers to themselves implement a call to BAPI_PR_CREATE to fix such issues.
Check note:2108097 - Shopping cart transfer to ECC fails when using BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE
We have an upcoming Go Live with SRM 7.13/ECC 6.17 and I just noticed that Delivery address from Cart is not transferred to ECC Requisition.
I have to rush an urgent change due to this.
I dont know what else data is not being transferred without detailed testing.
Thanks,
Sushil.

Open Shopping Cart from ERP Backend

Hi,
we are on SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.0 as ERP Backend.
How can i open a shopping cart with the shopping cart number?. Can i open the shopping cart per URL?
We have the shopping cart number in ERP Backend.
Best regards,
Benjamin Herzig

Hi,
erp users should be able to open the shopping cart with one click from sap gui me53n.
At the moment, they have to copy the shopping cart number and then open the SAP Portal and search for the shopping cart. This is not very userfriendly.
Can i use any remote function in srm calling from the erp?
I´m surprised that nobody else needs such as feature!
Best regards,
Ben
