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

Hi Nitin,
there seems to be an issue with the xml in the request body.
As an approach, you could try to send two separate requests, in order to check if the creation of the parent entity works and then use the specified link and check if the creation of the child entity works with the given xml. This could help to clarify which part of the xml is actually rejected
I've copied below the xml of a deep insert that works for me.
It is the request body of a POST request sent to the BusinessPartnerCollection of the service ZGWSAMPLE_SRV that can be found here:
https://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZGWSAMPLE_SRV?sap-ds-debug=true
Hope it helps a bit.

Costing Run Error: No Valid Source of Supply

Hi Experts,
   I am new to Costing,
    While executing Costing Run for a matrial ABC in plant XXX with a Costing Run 111, I get an error No valid source of supply could be found
but when I run the Costing Run for Same material for sam plant with different Costing Run It gets executed properly.
I have read the thread related to it where it is giving reference to note 713111, 499699 and 422926 but there is no check for Source List in Material master.
Regards,
Rajdeep Rane.

Rajdeep
Use OKKN as Jigar says.
Select the costing variant that you are using and then click on "valuation variant"
Look at the tab for subcontract - this will show what the costing variant is useing to creat cost estimates with.
Your options for subcontracting are:
2 Effective Price from Quotation Without Fixed Costs
3 Net Quotation Price
4 Gross Quotation Price
5 Effective Price from Quotation
6 Effective Price from Purchase Order Without Fixed Costs
7 Net Purchase Order Price
8 Gross Purchase Order Price
9 Effective Price from Purchase Order
If your material has a Special Procuremnet key 30 - then one of these strategies has to be used.

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 ?

Ashwin

Contract Source of Supply Not Populating in SC

Hello:
We are in a classic scenario of SRM 5.0 and the source of supply in the SC is not populating (either from an existing local contract or backend contract). Our expected result is to see the contract(s) associated with that material under the "source of supply" grouping.
- Side note: When creating a local contract in SRM, we get a dialog box with the error message "ordering party could not be determined" Not sure if this is related to the big issue, but it looks like an org structure error and we can't figure out the related attribute.
Can you help shed some light on the situation?
Much appreciation,
Edgar

Error when creating a source of supply list via me01 and/otr me05

Dear expert,
We use SAP R/3 4.6c release.
I'm trying to create a source of supply that uses a contract.
I get an error message 'Object does not exist'.
When I look at the details of this messsage I see it is
Message OL 826
Diagnosis :
You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2053 with the key
0000000000001026311990. No instance of this kind exists.
I have checked SW01 and regenerated the object type BUS2053. The generated object looks ok, but when I test it it still comes up with the same error message.
What did I forget?

HI ,
This is a program error .
Implement Note 683767.
According ti this note it will solve the following problem which is similar to your problem
"When you try to maintain a source list using Transaction ME01, the system generates a termination message with number OL826 'You tried to create an instance of the object type BUS2053 with the key. No instance of this kind exists'. "
Hope it helps you .

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

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

SRM 4.0: Source of Supplier not copying in line item on Shopping Cart

We are using SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup and currently experiencing a problem with the source of supplier not being copied on line items. The user stated that when copying a line items in a shopping cart the source of supplier is not copying to the new line. It happens sometimes but not everytime the client uses the line copy option.
It was initially thought that based on the amount of the line item (>=$25,000) that would cause the source of supplier (vendor) not to copy to the new line item but it has been verified by client that is not the case. If anyone has seen this issue and know of what the root cause could be please let me know.
Thanks

Yann,
Actually this is occurring when the user is creating a shopping cart from scratch. He added a line item either from catalog or free text, sources the item and then uses the copy function to copy the line item. When the client does this the item is copied but the vendor disappears from the 2nd line item and client has to add it again.
So that OSS notes doesn't apply unless I'm missing something.

Assigning a Source of Supply in a Purchase Order....Please Help!!!!

Hello, Forum.
I am a student and my final SAP project is due tomorrow. One of the steps is to create a Purchase Order certain specifications. I have defined the needed purchase requisitions for the Purchase order, but I am having a problem Assigning A Source of Supply to my items. When I select the items and click the "Assign Source of Supply" Icon I get the error message that "Existing Sources Will be Lost." I have tried many different ways to assign sources of supply to these items and the option is either grayed out, gets, this error message, or simply nothing happens.
I cannot advance in my project without first completing this step and it is a huge portion of my grade. This is of utmost importance to me so if anyone can help me figure out how to bypass this problem and Assign Sources of Supply, or even what this error message means, you would really be doing me a great service.
Thank you so much,
John

Hi John,
I cannot test it now, but seems to me that the transaction me21n is not designed to run source
determination unless the purchase order is created in reference to apurchase requisition
( where source determination can be run ).
If a PO is directly created without reference to a requisition, the outline agreements specified in the source list have to be manually entered in the PO ( even if there is only one agreement ), otherwise the error message is issued...
Could you please check it
Regards,
Mauro

ME57-sources of supply

In ME57 t-code ,for a material ,several purchase requisitions r displayed ,on selection ,a pop window appears to select a vondor from many sources of supply options.
my report is to get only PR's which has a single vendor for automatic assignment to PO.
i need to fix GET EBAN event.
Can anyone help me regarding this.
Regards.

HI Surya,
Source of supply is nothing but automatic determination of vendor or list of possible vendors for that particular product ir product category...
Whenever you are doing Shop then you can find one tab "source of supply tab"..here you can find automatic source of suppply if already maintained.
These we will maintain in process vendor list t-code...
Thanks

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"

Pardhu
