SOURCE_REL_IND : shopping cart not appearing in the sourcing cockpit

Gurus,
Few of the shopping carts after deleting the follow-on PO doesn't appear back in the sourcing cockpit. Furthermore, I found the SOURCE_REL_IND set to blank in table BBP_PDIGP.
Since this is happening at random, not sure if I can forcefully push the cart into the sourcing cockpit using any FM.
Thank you.
PS : I tried FM : BBP_PDIGP_DB_DIRECT_UPDATE, but the next run of BBP_GET_STATUS_2 is revoking it back to space.

Hello Ricardo
SUB:- CLASSIC SOURCING ...
assume that my buyer is incharge of the sc
1.requestor creates a sc and buyer also create a PO from the cockpit.
2. later business decides some thing wrong so buyer deletes the same PO

The Shopping cart not appearing in the sourcing cockpit of the buyer

Hi
We are using Extended Classic Scenario. The SC was created in SRM and then after approval was send to a central buyer for sourcing. The central buyer redistributes the same to the respective Buyer based on the purchasing group. However the SC doesnt appear in the sourcing cockpit of the actual buyer and when I see the details of the SC item in BBP_PD, I see that the Sourcing Relevant Indicator is marked 'Y' which means Sourcing is already completed. But nowhere a supplier has been added to the SC by anyone and it also doesnt reflect in the BBP_PD.
Any idea how and why the indicator has the status 'Y' and how can I make the SC appear in the sourcing cockpit of the buyer.

Hi Manoj,
If the SC is directly converted into a P.O (either ordered / held status) please check the Sourcing settings in SPRO.
SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Sourcing > Define sourcing for product categories
Check whether sourcing always carried out was maintained for the required product category. The P.O will get directly created in case the setting is " Sourcing never carried out".
Please check this and let me know if this is the case.

Shopping cart not appearing in users sourcing cockpit for completion

Hi
A user cannot see his shopping carts in his sourcing cockpit in his worklist. He finds them with the find tab but he cannot mark them as complete. The completion check box column is not there. However another colleague can find these shooping carts and the completiong column is there. Why this occur?
Does it have anything to do with where the user is placed in the org. struture? Please advise.
Kind regards

Hi,
seems that the requirement is assigned to a different Pgroup. Therefore one user does see it, and the other one not. When you adjust the assignment in the Org Model, the user will see the requirement.
Check the responsibility and assignment of your Pgroups.
Cheers,
Claudia

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.
Best regards,

Should the vendor in the Shopping Cart be updated from the Sourcing Cockpit

Hi All,
hopefully an easy question for someone to answer.
When a vendor is assigned in the Sourcing Cockpit and the Purchase Order is created should the vendor be updated in the linked shopping cart?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
All questions are welcome irrespective of the criticality so you are free to ask anything related to SRM.
The vendor will not get updated in the shopping cart if you assign a vendor at the time of sourcing while creating a P.O. The same can be checked out by selecting the Source of supply / service agents link in the check status for a particular shopping cart.
The source of supply field will only be populated when you assign the vendor at the shopping cart level and not during the P.O creation.
Hope this will make you clear.

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

Shopping Cart not appearing in Sourcing Cockpit

Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Sourcing -> Define Sourcing for Product Categories
In this config. we have maintained Sourcing as 3. sourcing carried out for items without Assd. source of supply also we tried with 2. Sourcing always carried out.
Yet the shopping cart does not appear in the sourcing cockpit .. a PR is created automatically and SOURCE_REL_IND is set to blank.
Is there any other config. that we are missing for cart to appear in sourcing cockpit.

Hi Saurav,
I had a similar problem and solved in the following way.
Please check the settings maintained in
Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)
- Remove the entries from this table.
- Recreate the entries from F4 Search Help only and do not type.
- Do not maintain wild Cards in two columns ( Purchasing Group or Material Group) At least one entry should exists.
- Test it again with creating new SC.

Shopping carts not appearing int eh worklist of the buyer

Shopping carts that are created by the user are not appearing in the buyer Worklist if he is not assigned to that product category.
Please advice,I need the shopping cart appearing in the worklist of the buyer even if he is not assigned to that product category.

Hi
Under that purchase group any buyers are assigned - check it up
for eg.
001 - product category - ABC -Purchase group - John - Purchaser
in the PPOMA purchase group ABC - responsible product category is 001 and under ABC purchase Group - Assigend John
now John might receive sc if you dont assign any sosurce of supply / if you did sourcing configuration
update here what are the seetings are existed in define sourceing.

My camera does not appear in the source list on 9.2.3

after updating my camera software, my camera no longer appears in the source list on iphoto '11. I am running version 9.2.3 of iphoto on a MacBook (OS X 10.6.8). I'm not sure how to revert to the previous verson befor the update. Any ideas?

Since you do not tell us any information about the actual problem except that it does not work a couple of things to try are generally the problem - make sure the camera is set to mass storage mode - that is what iPhoto expencts - and once you get your photos safely off the card (image capture maybe or if it moiunts to the desktop the finder) use the camera to reformat it

My ipod does not appear in the source pane

I must have done a big mistake as I have got a windows computer at home but plugged my ipod on my mac computer at work. From that day my ipod got empty. I thought going home and plugging it bac in my laptop the problem would it be fixed, but hasn't worked. I have tried any step available from thesupport site. Install and unistall everything about 100 times. The message that keeps appearing when I plug my ipod nano on my computer is: "ITUNES NO PUEDE LEER EL CONTENIDO DEL "IPOD DE XXX". HAGA CLICK EN RESTAURAR PARA RESTAURAR LOS AJUSTES DE FÁBRICA DEL IPOD", which it means I should restore to the factory setting, but once I tried to do it, on one of the steps takes from granteed that my Ipod appears on the soure pane of ITUNES, which it does not ever happen. I have found my Ipod file on the windows system and followed all the steps on that issue, but there has not been any kind of result. I have tried the menu in my ipod to restore it from itself but does not work..well, I have tried anything available from the advices from apple(have spent more than 4 hours on it) but can't get my ITUNES to recognice anything. By the way, I have aslo uninstalled my IPOD and with the CDroom, tryied to installed the whole thing again,..but nothinggg. GOt I tunes version 7. Any advice will be very helpful as I cannot stand going to work on the bus for an hour without my music...and Cannot afford another IPOD at the mo..
Thanks in advanced.

I have a very similar problem but I have done the 5 Rs and more---multiple times--and my iPOD and iTunes are just stuck in an endless cycle of Restore and Restart but rather than showing up in the source panel so I can put my music back on, the icon appears and tells me to restore again. I did everything including checking my USB ports etc. in My Computer and my iPOD refuses to get out of this cycle when iTUNES does bother to recognize it. Any suggestions other than the 5 Rs---because they are doing absolutely nothing.

Shopping cart not emitted to the right manager cause change unit

Hi guys,
We did a shopping cart , unfortunately the manager assigned is not the good one , the status is 'Awaiting approval' ,the requester is not linked to the same unit of the manager's one.
We would like to redirect his shopping cart towards the good manager linked at least to a different unit.
The requester has changed unit.
Is it possible for a given manager not related directly to the requester to redirect the shopping cart he is not the recipient to another manager in his own workplace.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
                   Best regards Mahmoud

Hi Mahmoud,
If you are using a BAdI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI then incase if your workflow doesn't find any approver, you can append APPROVAL_ADMINISTRATORS table.
In this way, you are direct your SC to administator's approval.
Your code will like this -
<i><b>IF approval_table[] IS INITIAL.
if no approver found because send sc to default administrator
ls_approver-approval_index = actual_approval_index.
          ls_approver-approval_agent = 'USMAHMOUD'.
          ls_approver-name = 'Mahmoud Mahmoudi'.
          APPEND ls_approver TO approval_administrators.
        ENDIF.
ENDIF.</b></i>
Please reward few points, if you find this useful.
Regards.

SC not in the sourcing cockpit after the follow-on document is deleted

HI,
    In sourcing cockpit , I created a contract by SC , but I deleted the contract , the SC didn't appear in sourcing cockpit. the SOURCE_REL_IND still is 'Y',    I have no way to create new contract by the SC .
   I don't know if it is the standard functionatity, It seem to be not reasonable.
Please tell me the solution that SC can be back to sourcing cockpit automatiocally.
even if I carry out the BBP_GET_STATUS_2. it still don't work.
   Thanks a lot.
Jesse

Hi
the rule is below
sc created 2 qty -- PO created 2 qty -PO deleted - now order quantity and PO quantity difference is there so now SC comes to cockpit and this shopping cart item needs to sourced and PO needs be created.
i did not test below scenario.
SC CREATED - contract or Bid invitation created and now Contract / bid invitation deleted and now you are expecting this sc item comes to cockpit.
Note 1068497 - BBPSC04: Incorrect status for items completed in sourcing
Symptom
You create a shopping cart which is sent to sourcing cockpit. You create a follow-on document. For eg: Bid invitation. You delete the same and complete the item in sourcing. The status of the item in check status is shown as 'Approved' instead of 'Cannot be ordered'.
As per the above note sap rule, even though Bid Invitation deleted and reference shopping cart must venture to cockpit to create another follow on document.in your case SOURCE_REL_IND = Y instead of X. What is the item status of sc after contract / po deleted?

MiniTOC does not appear in translated source file

RoboHelp 8.0.2
WebHelp Output
I added a miniTOC placeholder to three of my topics. This is the first time I am using the placeholder.
The English WebHelp project was sent for translation to French Canadian. I received the source project and noticed that the placeholder does not appear in the source file. Therefore, when I compile the output the miniTOC does not appear.
The translation company is using the latest version of RoboHelp, but I am not sure what tool they use to translate.
I have no clue how to resolve this issue. Sample code and screens are listed below.

The Shuffle can only be linked to one computer at a time if you want to use the Shuffle on a different computer you must allow Itunes to restore the Shuffle and than you can use it. Sorry there's really no good way around this besides going third party.

Ipod Nano does not appear in Itunes source

Hi all
I have an Ipod Nano and an Ibook, however when i plug my Nano into my Ibook it will not appear in the source menu in Itunes, but the nano does appear on my desktop. I am using Itunes Version 1.1.2, do i need to up grade my Itunes before it will recognise my Nano? If so which version of Itunes will i be able to install onto an Ibook g3 500mhzx running on OSX 10.1.5?

Your version of Mac OS X is too old to use an iPod nano as anything other than an external flash drive; the compatible iPods with your configuration are the first through fourth generation full-size models and the original iPod mini. You need at least Mac OS X 10.3 before an iPod nano will show up in iTunes.
All compatible iPods must be connected through FireWire for use with iTunes in Mac OS X 10.15 regardless of the presence of USB connectivity on the iPod. iPods which require an USB connection are not compatible with your version of Mac OS X.

Shopping cart (not a u201Climitu201D) can not be found in Sourcing Area!!

Issue:
Shopping cart (not a u201Climitu201D) can not be found in Sourcing Area to create a new PO, if the associated PO has been deleted directly at Header level.
But, shopping carts (not a u201Climitu201D) can be found in Sourcing Area to create a new PO, if the associated Pos have been deleted at Line Item level first and Header level next.
Hence, POs can not be deleted at Header Level directly, but only at line item level first and header level next.

Hello Uma,
If PO is deleted at header level then SC can be found in sourcing cockpit only if for a SC
1. SOURCE_REL_IND = X in table BBP_PDIGP and
2. Quantity should not be completely consumed by the PO in table BBP_PDIGP.
Check these 2 parameters for your SC in BBP_PD.
When we delete PO at header level SC quantity is consumed by the PO and thats the reason it will not appear in sourcing cockpit.
You can also go through the logic in report CLEAN_REQREQ_UP, you will find these details. This report decides whether SC should appear in Sourcing cockpit.
Thanks,
Shital Nimje
