Source of supply for Service Purchase request. ESM

Source of supply for Service request.
In the customizing for external source of supply, I am making the customizing at client level
SPRO (IMG) -> Materials Management -> External Services Management ->
Source Determination and Default Values -> for Client
In Source determination I have checked the customizing to consider
A. Material group at item level
B. And I am also selecting one of the 3 below at service level.
1.     All service
2.     At least one service
3.     No search at service level
Issue is, the source list I get in ME51N for a given purchase request item is considering only the material group customizing.
I do not see any change in the source list out of making change in the customizing at service level(Customizing B above).
So, is there any other customizing or other case which determines the list.
In short , I am getting same result in the source list irrespective of the customizing I do at service level (Customizing B above).

Hello David,
System assign only one supplier for one PR and even with the quota arrangement also if you have multiple proposals then the system assign the same supplier for all the proposals this is standard behavior you can add this to ideas forum.
kindly submit it to SAP via the SAP Idea Forum.
- Open the Help on the too right of the system.
- Click "Make SAP Business ByDesign better", it
will lead you to the idea forum.
- Submit your new feature in the forum. SAP will review your
new feature requests form customers or partners and plan it in the future
releases after valuation.

Assign Source of Supply for Services

Hi,
I understand that Materials has source list and the system can actually suggest possible vendors for the material via t-code ME25.
However, I am now dealing with services with service master defined and service conditions maintained. I can create PR via ME51 and assign source of supply but I can't do this for PO via ME25 as that is catered for materials only (even if I entered item category D, it shows as a material PO).
My question is, is there any default SAP transactions that allow me to create a service PO with the Assign source supply function? If no, what kind of enhancements can I look into to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In a normal PO there is no auto assignment of sources so I am not sure why you think that there might be for a services PO?
Remember that to create a PO, you have to specify the vendor first, so how can it assign a source automatically if you have to manually enter the source before you can do anything?
If you are creating a PO with reference to a requisition or contract, again there is no auto source allocation because the source is being taken from the requisition.
So you need to try to allocate the source to the requistion and not the PO

Sources of supply for product

Hi all
Why can i remove assigned vendor in the shopping cart (Sources of supply for product/Service Agent) when i choose a product from the "Internal Good/services" way, but i can´t remove it when i choose it from the SRM-MDM Catalog way???? the thing is that we have a contract for this product but in different ways we can remove and another way we can not...
We dont know if this is a bug... or what.
Obviously we are testing with the same product.
Note: we are using SRM 5.0. (SRM_PLUS - SAPKIBK012; SRM_SERVER - SAPKIBKT12; ST-PI - SAPKITLQI5); SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP03 Patch01.
Plase help.

Hi Jose,
the catalog consists the agreed price list of the products with one specific vendor, therefore neither the vendor can be removed nor the price can be changed.
This is the standard behavior.

How can I obtain the source of supply for a material?

Hi experts,
I have this issue,
I need to change the source of supply for a material in transaction ME51N and in MRP. This new source of supply is the source of supply of another material, related to the material we are creating the Purchase Requisition with a Z table. In ohter words, If the material of the PurchReq is in a Z table, we change it´s source of supply with the source of supply of another material.
For this I am using the BADi MD_MODIFY_SOURCE, here we can change the CH_LIFNR changing parameter. But I don´t Know how to get the source of supply of the other material.
Is there any BAPI or function module for doing this?
Could I do it by classic SELECTs to some standar tables? If I can, which tables should I select from?
Thank you very much and kind regards
Ibai

No source of supply for item in allocation table

I'm having trouble finding a valid source of supply automatically for an article in an allocation table item.
In the item overview of the allocation table, I have entered two plants. The system can find a source of supply for plant A automatically, but not for plant B. For plant B I have to do a manually source of supply determination.
I have checked the article master for the article for both plants and they are the same. Also the plant master is the same for both.
An purchasing info record exists for the article/vendor/purchasing organization.
Please advice.

Hello,
Please check whether you have Supply Source field correctly maintained for article/plant level view for the second plant.
Thanks,

BAPI for assing source of supply for purchase requisitions

Hi,
can any one let me know if there is any bapi or function module to assing source of supply for purchase requisitions.
Points will be given
regards,
siva prasad.

Define fixed indicator in the source of supply , and set the source list usage of MRP to "1 "
Below is help from sap:
==================================================================
Determining the Source of Supply via the Source List
The system first checks whether a quota arrangement has been maintained for the material, which has a validity period that covers the requirements date of the purchase requisition.
It then checks whether only one entry exists in the source list that is relevant to MRP. The indicator for source list usage must therefore be set for a particular vendor so that purchase requisitions and delivery schedules, which are created during the planning run, are automatically assigned to this vendor. In the case of a delivery schedule, you must also have maintained a scheduling agreement for this entry.
If you have maintained all the entries correctly, the system creates a purchase requisition with the source of supply that is recorded in the source list.

Error 'No valid source context supplied' for getEntity / getEntitySet call

Hi All
we have configured our ECC system with IW_BEP and Gateway as standalone system. We have developed the Gateway Services using SEGW in backend ECC system and have registered these services on Gateway system.
However when we are executing getEntity or getEntitySet methods in Browser or Gateway Client, the call is failing with error message 'No valid source context supplied.'
I checked the error log for this issue and it says Deserialization of XML failed via transformation ''. Can you guys suggest what could be the issue with this error? Is this due to in-correct configuration? In our Gateway system, we have created System-Alias for ECC system with both check-boxes for Local GW & For Local App as unticked. The RFC destination underlying this System alias is working fine.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Deepak Salokhe

Hello Deepak,
OK thanks for sharing the info regarding Key.
Can u try checking why its failing in method /IWBEP/CL_MGW_REMOTE_HANDLER-->REQUEST_PROCESS ?
Only way is to debug Deepak. Since error is not specific we nned to debug in these kind of cases and try to know y its failing. This might help and we may get some info which will help fixing things.
This problem is only happening for this particular service ? or its happening for all the services ?
Check this first. If its happening for rest of the services then problem is something else with the GW/BE components only. If not then its service specific.
Can u try regenerating objects again and check ?

Contract automatically set as source of supply for PR/PO

Hello MM experts,
I am thinking about implementing the following scenario and I have 4 questions
PM service order that creates a Purchase requisition automatically.
I will have in the system a MM contract for that material / vendor / plant
It is possible in SAP that the contract is set automatically as a source of supply in the automatically created purchase requisition?
If it’s not possible in the PR it’s is possible at the time of PO creation?
What configuration is needed in the system for this?
It is possible to automatically create a PO from a PR with no steps for the user?
Thanks a lot for your valuable help and regards.

Dear,
Here you need to consider two parameters.
Contract : Its an yearly or monthly contract with a desired vendor on Quantity(Quantity Contract) or Value(Value contract) based.
But if you are creating a service P.R using maintenance order for that particular maintenance service.Here system considers the account assignment as "F".
If you want to capture the service cost of contract,
Create an AMC for the services of that vendor and create P.O with account assignment as "U-Unknown". At the time of service required by maintenance department, They will create a maintenance order and do service entry with respect to "Maintenance Order". So actual cost will update in maintenance order.
You can create a "Automatic P.O "with respect to P.R as our friend Jurgen said for supply.This can be done by activating the check box in material master of "Purchasing" view.
You have an option of assigning the agreement in 'Maintenance Order"At the time of creating a P.R through it.But If your contract "Account assignment" and P.R "Account assignment" Creating through maintenance order will be different.So system will populate an error message as" Account assignment in agreement and Requisition incompatible"

Source of supply for material

Hi! Is it possible to have the supplier defaulted based on the inforecord when I enter a material number in the shopping cart? If possible, is there a difference between classic and extended classic in this case?
Regards
SF

Hi SF
Inforecord only available for classic as aource of supply
not for extended classic scenario.
Classic:- Info record / ECC contract / vendor list
ECS:- Local contract / vendor list or bring ECC contract to SRM via report and lock the backend contract.
Vendor(new supplier list) list dont support local contract . it supports only ECC contract .
Thanks

Source of Supply for SNP Planned Order

Hi All,
I have a situation where we are feeding SNP planned orders using /sapapo/lcin (Time series to Order Network). When we use this transaction SNP planned orders are created in SNP but PDS is not attached to such orders. I would like to know how can I get PDSs attached to SNP planned orders created?
Regards,
Harshil Desai

Thanks for reply Nandha,
PDS is active & Valid also SNP planned order indicator is set. Just to clarify that planned orders are not created by SNP. We are creating planned orders using /sapapo/lcin (Time series to Order Network) transaction.

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)
waht is the settings you maintained for your product category / purchase group - external procurement .
the above setting determines your follow on documents in the backend systems.
as discuused in the thread are you using any BADI ?

Source of Supply

Hi everybody,
We are on SRM 5.0 (classic mode). When we create a described requirement the system gets all the sources of supply from the backend system. If there are many sources of supply the system does not assign any one source of supply automatically. However if there is only one source of supply the system automatically assigns the source of supply. Is there a way to not have the system assign the souce of supply to the shopping basket (when there is only one source of supply available)? This should happen only for described requirements shopping basket.
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Venkat

Venkat,
<b>Currently we are using punchout. Unless we create a info record it does not create a PO in the backend system. Is there some thing we have to do for punchouts?</b>
You dont need to get PIR and contracts for the creation of PO's from punchout catalogs. The configuration step SPRO>SRM SERVER> MASTER DATA> DEFINE EXTERNAL WEB SERVICES will let you assign the BP number for the catalog. This will be transferred to SRM shopping cart as a partner function 19 from the OCI.
Select a business type product catalog for the new Web Service and confirm your selection with Enter. Once you do that the next page will ask you for additional info liek teh BP number for source of supply. This step will automatically ensure the transfer of the source of supply to SRM as a fixed vendor and enable the PO creation.
If this is satisfied with this step, then you can suppress the source of supply with my workaround solution only for describe requirement. '
Also i have a business question for you. If you want to suppress the source of supply of a product category only in the describe requirement, it really doesnt make sense as in the internal goods you use the source of supply for the same product category.
If your business driver is creation of the follow on document on the basis of the shopping cart (describe requirement or internal goods/services), then i guess for the same product category you need to find a distinguishing criteria between the two and use a BADI to force changing the partner function from 19 to 39 (preferred vendor). This will create a PR for describe requirement.
Hope info helps !!
Please assign points if answer is usefull !!
