Shopping Cart change by approver is not updating in approval preview screen

We are using SRM 4.0 in ECS and have been noticing a problem with the approval preview on the shopping cart when the shopping cart is changed or rejected by one of the added approvers.
The shopping cart was created with multiple line items for materials and when the shopping cart was ordered it workflowed to the 1st approver that was added. He noticed that a price was wrong on one of the line items of the shopping and proceeded to change it and then approved the SC. The approval preview screen in the SC shows that it was approved but the preview does not show that it was forwarded to the next approver listed on the preview screen. However checking in the backend I'm showing the SC sitting in the inbox of the next approver stating: Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part. Please check.
Why isn't the approval preview updating when the SC is rejected or changed?

hi,
This behaviour of the system is as follows , when the first approvers makes the changes and then approves the cart , it will go to the requestor of the shopping cart , and wether the workflow should restart --->
depends on the security level of the approver who is changing the cart -->
you can find the security level of the approver --> in the transaction SU01 ---> persononalization tab ---> key bbp_wfl_security
and the text you have mentioned --->
Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part
this is for the requestor of the cart ---> this is mail which specifies that the first approver has partially approved the cart.

How do I create a new shopping cart in the SRM system (not portal)

Hi,
I'm working on a test landscape with Purchase request WF. I want to create a new shopping cart from the SAP system, not from the portal, and this purchase request should go to a manager approval.
I've been told that I need a SRM system.
Could you please tell me what the transaction for creating new shopping cart is? Could you also explain me what to do with this transaction or point to a doc I can learn from?
Thanks

it is called planned driven procurement scenario in SRM
ECC box
1. create a Purchase request
2. Approve the Purchase request
3. now check EPRTRANS table . you might have Purchase request number ( if you have already set up done in ECC system for Plan driven procurement)
4. Run BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER job
SRM Box..
5. Now you can see your shopping cart for this purchase request (External requirement) in the sourcing cockpit.

I did 2 times but system is automatically changing status . We are unable to get the details in log also.
Any one can help why system is automatically changing and log is not updating .

Hi,
It may be the case that some of the SharePoint timer jobs were not created when the PWA was provisioned.
Try to re-provision the PWA instance and see if that would help (edit the PWA instance in SharePoint Central Admin without changing anything)

Workflow applet in approval preview (shopping cart) changed in SRM 5.0

Hi,
we have upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0.
The approval preview in the shopping cart transactions (f.e. BBPSC03) now shows only the approval state (in grahpic mode), not the step description from the workflow definition.
In EBP 3.0 was showed the step description.
How can we change the applet output ?

Changes in shopping cart at run time doesn't reflect at approval level.

Hello experts,
I have created a shopping cart upto 4 levels based on immediate manager, category id, cost center and last manager (who will approve/reject ). It is working good so far. At 3rd level (cost center) I added a formula ( Overall value > 5.000 ). It means when overall value is greater than 5000 then only cost center is going to be displayed. It works when overall value goes above 5000. But before finishing shopping cart if user changes quantity, makes it less than previously entered (which affects overall value less than 5000 ) then at 3rd level it shows approval. This is not correct. As value goes below 5000 it should not show 3rd level approver. Where I should chnge the code ? Is there anything workng there ? Please advise. Thank you.
Best regards.

Hello Sam.
Thank you for your reply. Issue has been resolved now. It was portal issue.
Yes I am using process controlled workflow.
Best regards.

Shopping cart changes

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 and I need to know if I can change shopping cart values if the shopping cart is approved. Can I change some values in standard mode?
Thanks in advance

Yes. BUYERs can process the Purchase order since they have a good relation with vendor .their communication is fast.
cancellation of Purchase order , you need to justify the vendor why you ahve ordered and later not taken the material.
> When you write buyer are you refering to person that creates purchase order manually in backend no?
or if the REQUESTER have access to delete the purchase order ,they can do it. but eventually this information must convey to the Vendor /supplier.
> And as finally, can we create from two different shopping carts, only one purchase order? or update one purchase order that was created in backend from SRM?
Yes two different shopping cart can create a one Purchase order from the cockpit if the vendor and purchase group is same.
for example sc item 1 MM 10003456 - purchase group -ROSA and 1 MM 10003455 - purchase group -ROSA
and BUYER canassig a vendor code and put the price and create ONE PO for two shopping cart.

Shopping cart change issue

Hi All,
I am stuck in one issue.
The issue is that when user create a shopping cart and during approval the approver changes the location on the shopping cart the system drops the vendor from the shopping cart and the shopping cart gets approved without the vendor and converts into a PO without the vendor. The PO stays in the held state until user manually populate a vendor in the PO.
We are using extended classic scenario.

Saurav

Saved Shopping Cart Display/Edit functions are not working

Hello SRM experts,
The problem that I have is that the buttons like Display, Edit, etc are not working on a saved Shopping Cart. What is the best way to debug this problem? How would I find out what methods are being called on the SRM system or if some entries are missing in some table for BUS2121?
We are on SRM 7.0 PPS SPS 5, Portal 7.01 SPS 5.0.
Thanks,
Mani

Hi Mani,
We are also facing a similar issue. Our protocol is HTTP throughout but still the issue persists.
Can you shed some light on any other config that you changed?

Shopping Cart Changes before saving

Hello ,
I want to change the Logical/Target System of the Shopping Cart before I can save the shopping cart on some condition. Can any one suggest me how can this be done. Any standard program that needs to be changed...
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You can use the badi "BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS".
Read the documentation below:
BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS
code
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS to define your own criteria for determining the backend system / company code. You use this BAdI to determine the source system for
Shopping cart items
In the standard system, the backend system is determined using the product category Define Backend Systems. The backend System is placed in the field ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM. Then the system calls the Business Add-In BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS.
The company code is put in the field ITEM_DATA-BC_CO_CODE. Then the system calls the Business Add-In BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS.
Contracts
In the standard system, the system creates contracts locally from Sourcing and SAP Bidding Engine You can use this BAdI to determine a backend system.
Example
Shopping Cart:
Backend system A is determined for product category OFFICEMATERIAL. You also want to consider the vendor and purchasing organization fields during determination of the backend system. The purchase order is to be created in backend system B for the vendor OFFICE1 and purchasing organization 0001. You overwrite the field ITEM_DATA-LOGICAL_SYSTEM with B.
Contract:
The local system used by the standard system to create contracts is XYZ4711. In the field CV_LOGSYS, you enter the logical system ABC0815 that links to a backend system. In this way, contracts are created in the backend system.
Standard settings
The BAdI provides the following methods:
-> DETERMINE_LOGSYS
-> CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE
Activities
Implement this BAdI if you want to define a target system that is different from the standard system.[/code]
Sample code for BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS BADI
codemethod IF_EX_BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS~DETERMINE_LOGSYS.
data: w_acct_data type enriched_acct_data.
data: w_acct_icom type BBP_PDS_ACC_ICOM.
data: w_et_messages type BBP_TMESSAGES_BADI.
data: re_obj(40).
data: imkey(8).
field-symbols: <waItem> type bbp_oci_enritem.
field-symbols: <waAcct> type bbp_oci_enracct.
field-symbols: <f1> type any.
if not acct_data[] is initial.
loop at item_data assigning <waItem>.
loop at acct_data assigning <waAcct> where line = <waitem>-line.
check <waAcct>-acc_cat = 'RE'.
if not <waAcct>-acc_str is initial.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_RE_ACCT_ASSGN'
EXPORTING
ACC_STR = <waAcct>-ACC_STR
BUKRS = <waItem>-BE_CO_CODE
IMPORTING
RE_OBJ = RE_OBJ
IMKEY = IMKEY
TABLES
BBP_RETURN = w_et_messages.
endif.
if not imkey is initial and w_et_messages[] is initial.
move imkey to <waAcct>-rl_esk_key.
move re_obj to <waAcct>-acc_str.
modify acct_data from <waAcct>.
endif.
endloop.

Sale Order change BAPI - Storage loc not updated

Hi Everybody,
Iam using "BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE", to change the sale order items.
First iam calling above bapi with switch B, for new pricing & then second time for material change.
When i change any material number, it is getting updated correctly.
But the storage location, even though iam passing in the bapi it is not updated, & is blank - updation flag is also passed.
When i execute sale order change again it is updated - ie, for any material change for first bapi call, storage loc is not updated - for 2nd bapi call storage loc is updation - for same input in both the cases.
Is there any way to update the storage loc is first call of sales order change bapi.
Below is the parameters iam passing in bapi :
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      SALESDOCUMENT      = LS_SALESDOCUMENT
      ORDER_HEADER_IN    = LT_HEADER_IN
      ORDER_HEADER_INX   = LT_HEADER_X
    TABLES
      RETURN                            = LT_RETURN
      ORDER_ITEM_IN               = LT_ITEMS
      ORDER_ITEM_INX             = LT_ITEM_X

      ORDER_CFGS_REFINST   = LT_CUREF
      SCHEDULE_LINES            = LT_SCHEDULE_L
      SCHEDULE_LINESX         = LT_SCHEDULE_X
      ORDER_TEXT                   = LT_TEXT
      CONDITIONS_IN                = LT_CONDITION_L

Shopping Cart creation through describe requirement not working.

Dear All,
         We are in to technical upgrade of SRM 4.0 to 5.0 (CS). With SRM 5.0 we have ECC6 as a backend system.
         On SRM 5.0, we could successfully create SC from Internal Goods/Services & against that shopping cart a PO gets created in backend. But when we try to create shopping cart from describe requirement the system throws following error messages,
1.     Enter company code
2.     No logical system for FI maintained. Inform system admin.
3.     Error in account assignment for item 1
4.     Error in partner transfer
5.     Not possible to calculate tax
Plz, help to solve this error.

Vivek

Hi
Try to clear one by one error
What is the company code in BAsic data of SC?
Run a report BBP_CHECK_CONSISTENCY for that user for sc.
Howerver verify these following configuration.

Why does Lightroom not update all my previews after a batch change?

Hi!
I imported more 2,000 pictures. Then I did one batch change (adjusting the curve (tonality) by Lightroom).
But it looks like, only on the page, I actually see, the previews are updated.
If go to the next page of 24 pictures. At first I see the old preview. Then the CPU and hard drive activity is increasing and picture by picture the preview is updated. So I've to wait 15 seconds, until I can decide, if the settings of the pictures are a good start or not. And then I've to page again and wait 15 seconds
I expect, that Lightroom does it:
in background
in parallel and not only one picture by picture (15 seconds are cause by sequencially processing; I've an Intel i7 with 4 cores and 3.6 GHz, it's not the slowest machine, but Lightroom only use up to 25% of my whole CPU resources :-( )
Sorry, but I do not understand, how I should be able to handle a mass of pictures, if I have to page and wait always.
Is there any magic shurtcut, command, setting, to enforce such an auto update?
Thanks a lot!

Dunno whether this would offer sufficient improvement or not:
It doesn't automate preview generation, but does give a button (2 actually) for quick-building of previews.
OttoMate
PS - Adobe did provide a function in Lr5.2 SDK for building previews, unfortunately the fine print taketh away too much of what the big print giveth (e.g. doesn't work in develop module), so not viable for auto-preview generation, yet.

Could you please suggest me how to eliminate the error.
Points will be rewarded.
Edited by: imam uddin on Jul 18, 2008 2:48 PM

Hi
It's recommended to have the same Tax related configuration data replicated in SRM system from R/3 as well.
I don't recommeded you to go with Hard-coding of tax codes.
We have faced similar issues with Delivery address and we have to solve it using our custom logic inside the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK BADIs.
Anyways, send the detailed business requirements to my mail which are already having with you. )
I will definitely help you out.
Please refer to following threads as well.
