SNP Heuristics not recognizing Source of Supply ( TL or Quota )

Hello,
I am running SNP Heurisitics and it is not recognizing transportation lane and just proposing Purchase requisition without a source of supply.
A simple supply chain looks like this:
MAT1 at LOCNO1 sourced from VENDOR1.
Transportation lane VENDOR1 --> LOCNO1.
Inbound Quota for location Locno1 partnered location being vendor1.
I have demand of 1000 units and SNP Heurisitics proposes 1000 purchase requisitions ( AG ).
I run SNP Heurisitics or SNP Optimizer but both solutions do not recognize the source of Supply ( TL or Inbound ).
However when I run CTM, CTM recognizes the transportation lane ( source of supply ) and creates a SNP PREQ ( EA).
Can someone help to see what I am missing. Thank you.
regards,
Najam

Aparna,
Thanks for the reply. Validity dates are okay and the procurement type is set external procurement ( F ). However, I do not have external procurement relationship. Just using a transportation lane created manually.
regards,
Najam

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic

Hi All
i have read many SAP Press books and materials but no where officially mentioned INFORECORD as source of supply but we could use INFORECORD as source of supply in the classic. Why SAP did not agree inforecord is a valid source of supply in any of the officical books.What could have stopped to write this point.Dfinetly some good meaning is there. Why SAP SRM definitions are missing.
for eg.by martin murray and srm materials.etc..
appreciate your thoughts..

Hi Muthu,
It's a good question. Indeed, I also couldn't find any documentation in the SAPhelp about the inforecord.
We call the backend system in the plugin function B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI at the line:

Zipfile not recognizing source

i have a wierd problem. my very simple app sometimes recognizes a .zip file and sometimes throws an unknown source error. the error seems to occur when the zip file was originally created on a mac-- although stuffit can recognize and open these files without any problem. furthermore, when i open one of these files, then rezip it on my windows box, java recognizes the file.
most of the time this does nothing, correctly. other times, it will not recognize the file. i run this with the file in the same directory, and with the same name, so i'm pretty sure it's not a file not found issue.
here's the code:
import java.util.*;
import java.util.zip.*;
public class tester {
public static void main (String[] args) {
new tester().tester1(args[0]);
public void tester1 (String zipName) {
try{
ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(zipName);
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
the error:
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)

Compressor not recognizing source resolution?

I'm having some problems with Compressor, whenever I import H.264 (1920-1080) to transcode to Apple pro res 422, Compressor only recognize the source as 720-480 I've tried different files but the same result? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks Dylan

There's nothing wrong with your QuickTime files. The problem is that Compressor uses a service called Qmaster to do its processing, and the link between the two is quite fragile.
First of all, go to the Compressor menu at the top of the screen and select Reset Background Processing. If that doesn't work, try this:

R/3 Contracts Do Not Show as Source of Supply in SRM/EBP

We are implementing SRM4.0 connecting to a backend R/3 Enterprise (470) instance in a classic mode. "Standard" functionality should allow us to see backend R/3 contracts (by material group) when in the source of supply tab in the SRM shopping cart. None appear. We want to be able to select the backend material group contracts from the source of supply tab - this was standard in previous versions (of SRM/EBP).
Did we miss a new configuration setting? Is anyone aware of a potential "fix" for this? (All RFCs, etc work fine). We are not interested in replicating the R/3 contracts to SRM.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.....Kyle

Sources of Supply

Hi
I am using function module 'BBP_EXTREQ_INBOUND' to create shopping carts in an ABAP program. It works well and the shopping cart is created.
My question is when you go into the SRM Portal and check the data everything is populated ecept the section under "Sources of Supply / Service Agents "
It comes back with 'No vendor assigned' even though you can specify a vendor in the function module in the table 'I_BUP' I have done this, the vendor shows in the other relevant tabs but not in Sources of Supply.
Does anyone know how to update the the Sources of Supply via this fucntion module or by any other?
Thanks.

Hi,
Which SRM version are you working on??
Have a look at these notes:
Note 682192 - BBP_EXTREQ_INBOUND: Dump when adding a vendor
Note 688609 - External requirement deletes vendor in contract

Source of Supply Error?

Hi,
I am currently experiencing the following problem: (We are running SRM 5)
I replicate vendors from the R/3 system to SRM via BBPGETVD trans code.
I select the correct Object ID (for the Vendor Org structure I created in PPOCV_BBP)
I check that the Vendors have been replicated (They appear in Vendor Org structure PPOMV_BBP)
BUT these newly replicated Vendors do not appear in the Source of Supplier when I try to assign them when creating a Shopping Cart?? Its strange cos the previous batch of vendors I replicated worked fine and appear in the Source of Supply??
Ive also run the business partner check transaction: BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE and checked that the Org units are synchronized. I have green lights for everything.
Ive checked that the replicated vendor is mapped to the correct Purchasing Org, Manually in the Frontend (with Admin user via Manage Business Partners) and
via the Backend with trans code BBP_UPDATE PORG. The vendor is assigned to the correct Purch Org.
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Source of supply (info record) in Shopping cart-extended classic

Hi experts,
We are on SRM 7.0.
We have changes from classic scenario to extended classic scenario, and after this a problem has come up?
When I create s a shopping cart for a product number, I have to allocate the vendor manually. If I activate the source of supply tab, I can't se the info record for the product number, which are created in the back-end.
I the classic scenarion is was working as this:
1. Create a shopping cart
2. Go to the tab 'source of supply'
3. Choose the vendor from different info records created in the back-end.
4. order the shopping cart
In the extended classic it is working as this:
1. Create a shopping cart
2. Go to the tab 'source of supply'
3. There are NO info record to choose from, even though I have created different info records in the back-end. I have to search for the vendor, and can't se any info record number. By this I can't get the right vendor assigned to the shopping cart???

Why do I got "Source of supply reset"???

Hello,
We are on SRM 5.00 SP12 on classic scenario.
When we want to create a Catalog Shopping cart from a copy of an old one I got the message "Source of supply reset. Assign a new one, if necessary" and my Source of supply is reset. This is only for some supplier. Do you know where does the error can come from?
thanks for help!

GOA as source of supply

Hello all,
We are using the extended classic scenario and have successfully distributed GOA to create contract in the R/3 backend .
Is it possible to use this contract which has been created in R/3 as as a source of supply in the Shopping Cart transaction in SRM? What setting do I have to maintain in case it is possible to use GOA as source of suppliy in Shopping Cart?
Also in SRM GOA transcation we can distribute GOA to backend based on each unique combination of Porg,Plant and Document Type.
What setting needs to be done if I want to distribute GOA based on Porg,Company Code and Document Type.
Is it possible to Distribute GOA to MDM catalog...I dont see any option in GOA transcation though its there for SRM Local contract.
Regards

Hi Ajith,
A GOA (unlike a process contract) is not a source of supply and hence cannot be distributed to catalogs. This is because what you have in a catalog can be a source of supply but GOA cannot be.
Its the same reason why a GOA cannot be used in a SC as source of supply.

SNP Heuristics is not picking up contracts as source of supply

Hi Experts,
I have a strange situation here. I have integrated a vendor contract with APO, which has created an external procurement relationship and a valid transportation lane. When I create a receipt element manually through /n/sapapo/rrp3, the source of supply is determined rightly to this vendor and receipt is created.....but when I run location SNP heuristics interactively, system generates receipt element without any reference to this source of supply. Expectation is creation of receipt element with reference to vendor and contract...
System release is SCM 5.1 with ECC 6
Am I missing something?....please let me have your inputs...
Thanks and regards,
Raghav

Hi Aparna,
Thank you for your response.
I have checked the note, but it is applicable till SCM 500 SP 13. Our's is SCM 5.1 and this is inclusive I suppose. As per the SAP SCM standard documentation, external procurement relationship between vendor and receiving plant can be created through following 3 docuements:
1. Purchase infor record
2. Scheduling agreement
3. Contracts
Additionally, as per documentation, even source list between plant and vendors can be integrated by enabling the same through R/3 transaction 'CIFPUCUST01'.
I have worked with first two and SNP considers these for source determination. When I tried to integrate the contract, though it is creating TL between 'vendor --> receiving plant' and an active external procurement relationship, SNP is not found considering this for source determination. When I tried to use the source list for creating TL and esternal procurement relationship, the same is not creating any.
What type of contracts can be used for SNP planning and what else required to be done for integrating source list? I have enabled source list in R/3 material master. Source list is maintained as 'MRP relevant' in R/3.
Thanks and regards,
Raghav

Report to redetermine SNP Source of supply

We configured Planned Order integration model to show up R/3 planned orders as SNP Planned orders in APO. However when the planners on R/3 side intervene the orders in terms of some of the fields, it passes on to APO as a planned order without source of supply. This is due to the design, the PPM information is manually maintained in APO and is out of sync with the information in R/3 side. The system thus chooses to keep a blank source of supply for the orders rather than redetermining the source of supply in APO. From some of my recollections, I understand that there are ways to run a report in APO that redetermines source of supply for planned orders with blank source. Can someone pass on this report information to me ? (We do not want to run user exits/BADIs to do this determination, and rather would prefer a standard report)

It is by design that PPM is not synced. There are tens of resources in R/3 side which we have summarized and kept as a "aggregate" resource data in APO manually. So there is no point in deleting APO orders and re-CIFing. It is by design that the orders come into APO without source of supply. Some of these orders are NOT solver dependent and is manully managed by planners in R/3 side. So we do not want to run the solver to change that data. We just want the PPM to be picked up in APO so that we can correctly load the resources.
If anyone has a Z program for this, it will be great if it can shared.

SNP Network Heuristic - Purchase Requistion planned w/out source of supply

Dear Experts,
We have a T-lane setup from the source location A to destination B for a particular material. However, when running SNP Network heuristic, it generated SNP Purchase Requisition with out a source of supply. Can you please help me understand what would caused this?
Thank you so much for your input.
Tom.

Hi Satyajit,
My situation is we have two T-Lanes:
Tlane 1 - Source A Destination B
T lane 2 - Source B Destination A
I believe that in Network heuristic system does not allow any recursive T lane as it fails to determine low level code resulting no propagation of demand to next level. This resulted in no source of supply.
Can you please confirm if that is the limit of Network Heuristic? Our business scenario required to have recursive Tlane, is there a way to get Network Heuristic to work correct? How to setup low level code?
Thanks for all your help.
Tom

Source of supply () not in source list (27423/0010) despite source list req

Hello,
We have soon upgrading APO in 7.0 version.
We have a SAP R/3 in 4.7 version.
APO created Purchase Requirements in SAP R3 with two kind of processes :
- Heuristics
- Deployment
In SAP R3 we have several database to maintain in order to affect correctly these Purchase Requirements to the good plant and the good scheduling agreement :
- info record
- scheduling agreement
- source list in wich we attached the number of the scheduling agreement
When we manage the heuristic, there is no problem .The Purchase Requirements are send via the C5 transaction.
When we manage the deplyment, we have the message "Source of supply () not in source list (27423/0010) despite source list req" - The purchase requirements of the deployment are sent directly to SAP R3.
I tried to compare the database of a OK item and a NOK item but I can'tfound something different.
Have you ever had this kind of problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jingco,
I guess you have the PIR( Pur.Info record maintained ) in R/3 and CIFed to generate the Ext. Procurement relationship.
Please check that the Source of Suppy in Source list (ME01) is same as maintained in PIR.
revert back if still it doesn't help.

Source of supply not in source list despite source list req.

I'm getting a log message "Source of supply (5300001019) not in source list (WCA0027/1001) despite source list req." when we run the SNP production planning (cdpsb0).
we are using APO and created an external procurement relationship based on the source list in ECC. i tested with 2 setups: with check and without check on the material master - purchasing (source list). I'm getting the same error.
whatelse should i check?
