Shopping cart, Purchase Order

Hi all
In a classic Secnario:
I created shopping cart. I approved as manager when it was waiting for approval. But when I come back, it is showing only approved. Since after approval it should create Purchase Requestion/ Purchase Order.
Any light will be helpful.
rao

hi,
Goto trascn CHECK STATUS and go in tht item details.There click on the FOLLOW ON DOCUMENTS link.If the PO is created,you will find it in the graphical display the details about the PO (follow on document) which is created in the R/3 backend.Also see if the job/program "CLEAN_REQREQ_UP " is running because of which the status is updated in SRM once the PO is created in the R/3 system.

Buyer of shopping cart, purchase order and contract

Hi
I wanted to ask about buyers. Are buyers usually a purchasing group/organisation? I am not sure if my thinking is right but wouldn't a buyer of a shopping cart and purchase order be the same. And a buyer of a contract would or can be different to the shopping cart because a contract is a source of supply and is probably linked to many purchasing groups/organizations.
Is this reasoning right? Buyers are different to approvers too isn't it? Please could someone explain this to me?
Kind regards

Hi Deepa,
Are buyers usually a purchasing group/organisation?
Ideally each buyer should ahve a unique purchasing group. In thsi case we can say that each buyer is a purchasing group. However, in some companies, its a possiblity of sharing a purchasing group. In that case multiple buyer users will be assigned to purchasing groups in the SRM organizational structure.
buyer of a shopping cart and purchase order be the same.
Normally, if a PO is created w.r.t. SC, the purchasing group is copied. So its the same. However we can change the purchasing groups in sourcing cockpit using workload reassignment option or direcly in the PO/contract document.
So we can say that its necessary to have PO/contract purchasing group same as that in SC.

Shopping cart Purchasing group determination

Hi All,
I have created Org structure like this
Backend pur.organsiation> purchasing group(Back end)>buyer1
department1-->user1
Buyer1 is responsible for department1
When user1 is creating shopping cart , I found in shopping cart purchasing group field is not showing.
Later I have created Local pur org and Local Purchasing group and Buyer4 assigned to it.
When I create a SC , now purchasing group field is showing with only one buyer i.e Buyer4.
we are on SRM 7 EHP1 and Extended classic scenario.
Is this standard behaviour that SC only shows Purchasing groups of local Purchase org.
Thanks
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.
For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

FM for approver list BEFORE shopping cart is ordered? DOC_CHECK_BADI

Is there a function module that can be called from DOC_CHECK_BADI to return the approver list as it shows in the approval preview? This will be before any workflow is created, since the shopping cart has not been ordered yet.

Hello,
Definitly not an easy thing to do.
You have to consider at least 3 cases:
- No workflow instance nor buffered (SC creation, approval preview not called)
- Buffered workflow (approval preview has been called)
- Wf instance exist (Hold or ordered Shopping cart).
In all cases the function BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVAL_SIMULATE will give you the correct information if you call it with the correct parameters.
I think you already check the form simulate_approval_pbo of fg bbp_pdh_wfl. You should try to reproduce this logic and need to retrieve first some global variable from this program (gv_buffer_wfdkey, gv_check_status, etc.) with memory import/export of dynamic call (if possible).

Procure item for inventory in Shopping cart as Order as Direct Material

Hello Experts,
When i procure a an item for inventory click u201COrder as Direct Materialu201D and then the system would not ask for an account assignment,
1.) where i can do this setting
2.) the actual problem am facing is "SC is created but PO goes to status Saved and when i see PO i can see the error and this is "Backend error : enter account assignment category".
Please let me know on this....i hope this will also be a great learning for me towards a journey of become masters in SRM like all of you
Smriti

yes. for order as direct account assignment folder disappear.
Ordering a direct material means ordering a product that will be received into stock.
You have to press the Order as Direct Material button in the item detail view.
Selecting Order as Direct Material replaces the goods recipient with the plant you
are ordering for and removes the Account Assignment information. The plants and
storage locations are defined in the organizational structure in the extended attributes
Locations and Storage Locations. After ordering the material as a direct material, you
cannot change back to indirect; so, in case of a mistake, you have to delete this item.
If you have a valid and definite source of supply, such as a contract, this will be used.
Items without a source of supply will have to be completed by the purchaser in
sourcing transaction or in the worklist of incomplete purchase orders. The complete
purchase order will then be replicated to the back end system. Changes to the purchase
order is only possible in Enterprise Buyer, which is the leading system for this process.
Any changes made in Enterprise Buyer are transferred to the back end.

Shopping Cart getting ordered even with Custom Validation Errors

Hi,
We have implemented the BBP_ITEM_CHECK_BADI, and it;s working fine, when we are Checking the SHC. It's showing the error message.
Functionality: When user has selected REJECT, and he orders, to it shud raise an error mesage that plz enter the reason of rejection.
But it's nto working when we r clicking on ORDER, it is getting successfully processed.
Thanks & Regards.
Vaibhav Goel.

Hey,
It's not a custom field.
One Update:
Gurus, I got one strange thing...I removed the check of Current State (whether Rejected/Approved) from the ITEM_CHECK badi, and found that it was working perfectly fine i.e. when we have selected the Approve Radiobutton and click on ORDER, then it's raising our custom error message and is stopping the porcesssing.
But when we are selecting the Reject Radiobutton, it's not working the same. It's saying SHC processedd successfully.
Is this some standard functionality that it bypasses all the error messages when r rejecting a SHC or something... or any config needs to be done for this ?
Please let us know.
Thanks & Regards,
Vaibhav Goel.

Shopping Cart Purchasing Group

We are using the classic Scenario in SRM7.02 ECC6.04
Upon replicating purchase requisitions, direct purchase requisitions are assigned to the purchasing group of the Entry channel and
requisitions with account assignment K are assigned to the correct purchasing groups. Can somebody please assist me with why some requisitions is assigned to the entry channel and some to the correct organizational units.

Hi Nikhil,
I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.
For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

Cost center not committed on shopping cart, for account assign cat "Asset"

Hello,
We are implementing extended classic scenario in SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 backend.
While creating a shopping cart in SRM, in the cost assignment tab when we select an account assignment category as Asset", and then try to enter a value in the cost center in the basic details of cost assignment, it is not getting committed to shopping cart screen. The cost center field value is lost when we move to the next screen for ordering the shopping cart. For the asset related purchases, we are using main account assignment category as "asset" and it also requires cost center, because while the asset master record is being created in R/3 for these items,it requires the cost center. We also using internal order. So for the account assignment category "Asset", the other account assignment fields that can be entered are cost center, internal order and one custom field called "project code".
We have created this user-defined field in the cost assignment tab in the shopping cart, purchase order and confirmation documents in SRM in accordance with the OSS note 672960. We have implemented BBP_CUF_BADI_2 & BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for the shopping cart object.
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Krupa

thanks Ramakrishna and Yann for your prompt reply..
Ramakrisha,
I know that for assets, SC requires asset number and G/L is automatically derived from the corresponding asset class from the backend. In our case, we are putting dummy asset number in shopping cart and this asset number exists in R/3. But we are not generating asset creation during shopping cart creation but we are doing it during the PO creation in doc change badi. During this asset generation you also need cost center on the asset record. So we have added cost center field for Asset account assignment category and I can see it in the details of account assignment. But when I enter this cost center on shopping cart, it doesnot get committed, it disappears when I order the shopping cart.
Does anybody have any clue why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Krupa

Close a shopping cart having partial delivery

Hi,
How can I close a shopping cart which is partially delivered ?
Ex: I have mentioned quantiy 100 PC in shopping cart, a received 70 PC and invoice 70 PC against the shopping cart purchase order. As we don't expect any more material to be received against the shopping cart, i would like to close the shopping cart.
How can I achive the above ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
1. If the shoppgin carte is created and is waiting for approval
Option is: Reject the Shoppoing via approval / or you can delete the shopping cart from check status if you are the requister
2. If the shopping cart is approved
A. In case the porduct category is sourcing relevant then in sourcing buyer can selecting complegted indicator without assigning source of supply. Then automatically SC will goes to completed status without any follow on document
B. In case if the cart is from catalog / source is assigned then PO will be created automatically once the SC is approved. Buyer can delete the PO then sytem will allow you to deleted the SC from checkc status.
regards,
krish

Backend Info Record data transfered to Shopping Cart

We are using extended classic scenario, SRM 4.0 SRM Server 5.0.
In our backend R/3 system we have standard info records created with material #, vendor, price UOM etc. I would like to show the vendor, price, uom (from the backend info record)in the Source of Supply section of a shopping cart after entering the material # (product # in SRM language). Also transfer the price and vendor to the shopping cart if desired. Has anyone found a BADI or some other method to do this???
We do not use valuated materials so EPP_Get_Backend prices does not work for us.
Thanks in advance

Change shopping cart

Hello all, I am confusing in a point, I have this issue:
I have a shopping cart with 1 item and 2 approvers
First approver reject the SC
Creator of shopping cart can change this shopping cart after the approver reject it?
When the shopping cart can be changed?
Thanks
Rosa

Hi ,
Whether the SC requester can change the SC or not is determined by the parameter "BBP_WFL_SECURITY" under the personlization tab in trascn PFCG for the SC creator role(e.g. EMPLOYEE role).
When the Approver rejects the SC,the witem is sent back to the requester informing him that the Sc has been rejected by the 1st approver and if he has the authorisation(based on the parameter BBP_WFL_SECURITY) to chnage the SC,he can change the SC and resend it for approval.Then the Sc will be again sent to the 1st approver for approval and the cycle continues.
To change the SC,the SC creator will be able to see a CHANGE button on the Screen to make the changes and resend the SC for approval.in order to get the change button, the parameter setting level should be atleast "Low".
See the foll details on security level:
Security Levels
Each user in the SRM system can have a Security Level.
The Security Level predicts how a workflow will react when a change has been made to a business docuement. I.e. A Shopping Cart, Purchase Order etc.
There are 5 different values for the BBP_WFL_SECURITY and there are several ways to check the security levels.
Checking the Security Level of a user
Here I discuss two ways to check the BBP_WFL_SECURITY of a user. The first is by using the Business Object Builder and the second is by using User Maintenance.
1) Business Object Builder: SWO1
Logon with a user who is authorized to access transaction SWO1 Business Object Builder.
Enter the Business Object for a SRM User BUS4101 and press 'Test'. Now press the 'Instance' button to give us the ability to examine the user. Enter the user name of the user and execute. Now we can see many of the attributes that are associated with this user. The Security level of the user is available here. The value is the BBP_WFL_SECURITY for the instanced user.
2) User Maintenance: SU01
Logon with a user who is authorized to access transaction SU01 User Maintenance.
Enter the 'Username' of the user. You can now see much of the data that is associated with this user. To check the users security level we must navigate to the 'Personalization Tab'. Now Double-Click on the object key 'BBP_WFL_SECURITY'.
Security Level Definition
As mentioned above, there are 5 different Security Level values that can be assigned to a user, each of which will have a different effect on a workflow when the associated business document has been changed. These range from 0-4 and they can be maintained for each user in User Maintenance (SU01 -> Personalization Tab -> BBP_WFL_SECURITY), provided the user you have logged on with has the ability to make changes to these settings.
Please note that if the customer has an active implementation of the BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI, it is possible that the BBP_WFL_SECURITY settings in the database can be overridden.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY = 4 High
If the user who changes the purchasing document has their security level set to 'High', the workflow will never restart after the change has taken place. No restart flag has been set in BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_RESTART. Again, as mentioned above, the BADI can override these settings.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY = 3 Medium
If the user who changes the purchasing document has their security level set to 'Medium', the workflow will re-evaluate the starting conditions of the workflow. If the change made to the document means that the starting conditions of a new workflow are satisfied, then the new workflow will be called and replace the old workflow. The existing workflow will be terminated.
If, however, no other starting conditions have been satisfied, then the workflow will continue. Again, as mentioned above, the BADI can override these settings.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY = 2 Low
If the user who changes the purchasing document has their security level set to 'Low', then the workflow will always restart after the change has been made. The restart flag in function module BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_RESTART will be flagged. Again, as mentioned above, the BADI can override these settings.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY = 1 None
Here the user does not have a security setting and changes to the document at not possible. Again, as mentioned above, the BADI can override these settings.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY = 0 Not Defined
When the setting is '0', however, the value is INITIAL. Again, as mentioned above, the BADI can override these settings.
It is wise to note that depending on the business document there are differences in how changes will effect a workflow! Please see the function module BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_RESTART to see these exactly!
Workflow Security BADI
Occasionally, the business requirements of a company necessitate the ability to override the workflow security settings of users. In this case, function module BBP_PDH_WFL_SECLEVEL_GET checks if an active implementation of the BAdI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI exists. If it does, then the logic contained in the BAdI will determine what security level is required. If not, then the value will be taken from the database as normal. These can be used specifically to determine whether a purchasing document can be changed during approval and also to determine how the workflow should behave when a change to the purchasing document has taken place.

Can't access account, shopping cart. Can't purchase or access downloads!!

This has been going on since Jan 12 1000 Eastern Standard time.
I can tell from the other discussions that I'm not the only one.
I can access the store, browse the different sections (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc), I can't listen to sample clips of music.
But when ever I try to access my account, view shopping cart, purchases media, or check for downloads I get the striped bar & the notice "Accessing iTunes Store". But that's it, the bar just keeps cycling for minutes on end without connecting.
Back on Jan 12th I got on error message stating that I was almost out of memory. But I have nearly 40GB free on my Laptop HD and on my external HD (where my library is located) I have a spare 260GB. At the time, no other applications were running so it couldn't have been the RAM load.
Anyone else having similar problems connecting? This is getting unbelievably frustrating. I've been an iTunes customer for nearly two years with almost no problems. Do they realize that with this problem in place they're effectively losing a customer by shutting me out?

I got on to ask the same question, in my particular situation, I have been unable for three weeks to choose a song in the iTunes store and send it to my Shopping Cart. The response, which didn't have a number was, "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Having been stopped by this note for three weeks has been quite frustrating. After reading the string, I thought I was going to have to dump a lot of my Shopping Cart (that I use like a Wish List).
Now my Shopping Cart seems to be finally unstuck. This is what I had to do, and it may not work for everybody. I went to the Shopping Cart (after taking screen shots of it in the event I had to fully dump it) and purchased a couple of songs stored there. I also deleted a couple of selections that were apparently no longer available. Then I went back to the iTunes Store, went to the song I've been wanting to send to the Shopping Cart for three weeks, clicked on it and this time, it went to the Shopping Cart without seeing the "y'all come back later" roadblock. I quickly purchased it too.
I don't know if this is a permanent fix, or if I'll have to try it again next time it gets stuck, but maybe it will work for you.

Officejet 8600 missing parts of online shopping cart orders I receive

My new networked Officejet 8600 is selectively printing parts of an online shopping cart whose orders I print out. The order shows perfectly in the 'preview screen" but certain parts of the order, such as the city, are blank spaces.
Also, when testing other online pages, they come out fine. Don't know what to do! Please help. The shopping cart company blames the printer.

I found and corrected the issue.
A BADI Enhancement Spot ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST was implemented. The Method IF_EX_ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST~PROCESS_ITEM was modified within this Implementation. The focus of this upodate was to Modify the ROUTE information within the SHIPPING information in the PO Update Process (PTV Internal Table within ABAP SAPLMEPO). Unfortunately, the ultimate update of this internal table destroyed the UPDKZ indicator, which signifies when the EKPV record is to be created ('I') or updated ('U'). The update ultimately did not create the EKPV record.
Once this METHOD and the above SAP Enhancement (MM06E005 - EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 - ZXM06U43) were corrected, an STO Modification (creation of a new Item) ALWAYS creates a Shipping Tab (EKPV record).

Automatic Output of Purchase Order

Dear Experts,
I have Extended Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 (SP-14)
Shopping cart is ordered to create purchase order and PO created is approved automatically. The requirement is to trigger output automatically upon po approval.
If I trigger the output manually it is processed successfully. We are not using standard PO form but a customised smart form.
I have done following configuration -
Under : Set Output Actions and Output Format--->Define Actions for Document Output
Processing Time: Processing when saving document
Processing time not permitted: Immediate Processing
Determination Technology: Determination Using Conditions that Can Be Transported
Within 'Condition-Dependent Document Output' - 'Schedule conditiona and Start Condition is maintained'
Could you please advise if I am missing any step?
Best Regards,
Amit Patil

Hi
BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF
Change Forms for Document Output
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF to override the Smart Forms that are defined in the activity Define Actions for Document Output.
This BAdI serves as an alternative to the IMG activity Condition-Dependent Document Output.
Note that no Smart Forms are used for output via XML.
Standard settings
The following parameters are available in the method CHANGE_FORMS. Depending on the input parameters, you can define other Smart Forms to output the document type.
Importing
IV_GUID
Globally Unique Identifier of the document.
IV_MEDIUM
Output medium found for this document according to Define Actions for Document Output (print: PRN, fax: FAX, e-mail: MAI, XML: MET).
IS_PARTNER
Business partner to whom the document is sent.
IV_OBJECT_TYPE
Business transaction type.
Changing
CV_SMARTFORM
Smart Form used to output the document.
E-mail output
Smart Form with which the document is added to the e-mail in the form
of a PDF attachment.
Note:
Note that the BAdI with this parameter overrides the parameter form name (technical name of the Smart FormBBP_PO for example) irrespective of the defined determination technology (SRM: Purchase Order Output Determination, for example).

Procure-to-Pay Scenario. Create Purchase Order

Hello Experts: I have a question regarding the Procure-to-Pay scenario and the Create PO functionality.
we are in SRM 7.0, Classic Scenario and we try to implement the Procure-to-Pay functionality as it is described in OSS note 1263876 "SAP SRM: Configuration of Procure-to-Pay Scenario".
Our idea is to transfer Purchase Requisitions from ECC6 to SRM using the CPPR application. But we will also take advantage of the integration with MM provided with this scenario.
If you are familiar with this, you will already know that, using the harmonized role for operational purchaser (ERP/SRM) an end user can create Purchase Orders in the backend. Our question is related to this functionality.
Using this role, the buyer can select Purchasing Documents under the detailed navigation area and, from there, he will have access to create Shopping carts, Purchase requisitions, Purchase Orders and Purchase order responses.
If we select Create Purchase Order, the application "Purchase Order: New" gets opened. Here we have to select the system where we want to create the new PO: either SRM or ECC6. Our first question is: As we are running a Classic scenario, why are we asked to select between SRM and ECC6?. It should be only ECC6, shouldn't be?
In any case, the SRM systems gets selected by default when we open "Purchase Order: New" appl. and bellow this field, you can see the PO types customized in SRM. If we change the system to ECC6 we see the following: "Number of purchase order types: 0" . So, no PO types are available. this is the second question: why do we have 0 PO types to be created when we select the ECC6 system? is there a missing customizing where we have to define which document types are vaialable to create POs in ECC6 from SRM Portal?.
To summarize: only ECC6 should be proposed as system to create POs (as we are running a Classic Scenario) and there should be ECC6 PO types available to create such POs in the ECC6.
Can you please tell us what is still missing in our configuration? Any help will be more than welcome
Many thanks in advance for your valuable help
Best regards
Valentí

The purpose of MRP run is to make sure that you always have enough stock.
An order to cost center will not increase stock.
Means: MRP is not able to create requisitions for cost center consumption. If you change a requisition created by MRP to be ordered to a cost center, then the next MRP run will create a new requisition to stock.
