SRM 5.0: CLEAN_REQREQ_UP, BBP_REQEQ_TRANSFER and Webmonitor

Question

Hi SDN,
we are on SRM 5.0 SP15. Classic Scenario with MM Backend.
We have some issues with the webmoitoring. We have the clean job clean_reqreq_up running in 10 minutes intervals. Also we have bbp_get_status_2 every 20 minutes.
Quite often we have red traffic lights in the webmonitor because users in the backend run transaction MB1A - Material withdrawal (referred to reservations) this leads to SM12 locks. So if now somebody sends a shopping cart from SRM with the same material, we get the backend applic. error: material locked by user xy.
But even if the users leaves MB1A withdrawal transaction and in SM12 we can see in the backend, that the lock disappears, still the shopping carts keeps hanging in srm. Only via manual action we can transfer the shopping cart posions again. Before the users gets an error during transmission in the status view.
In SPRO we have set SPOOL_LEAD_INTERVALL and SPOOL_MAX_RETRY. hel.spa.com says we have to delete SPRO entries if we have the clean job running - is that so? look at:

I also noticed, that I can transfer shopping carts manaully vis FM BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER. When calling afterwards clean_reqreq_up, I get the status view on srm side ok and then I can see there follow on documents. Still the webmonitor does not react and remains red.
Can somebody spread some light on this?
kind regards,
matthias

Answer 1

Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations,
You perform this step only if you create your Materials Management documents in a backend system.
You specify the documents that are to be created in the backend system for a requirement coverage request.
The following documents can be created:
Purchase requisition
Purchase order
Reservation
You enter a product category (such as office supplies, or hardware) and/or an organizational unit. The organizational unit contains the purchasing group that is responsible for procuring products in this category.
You can enter the product category generically, such as Office*.
Note
The backend system is determined  using the product category in the requirement coverage request item. The item also contains the organizatinal unit.
You can use the Business Add-In BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE if you wish to implement a different logic for creating documents in the backend system.
Example
If purchasing group 01 wants to procure materials from the category Raw Materials, a reservation is to be created every time.
If materials in the category PC are to be procured, a purchase requisition is to be created every time.
Activities
1. Enter the organizational unit and/or the category.
2. Enter a source system.
3. Choose the procurement type.
Reservation if stock is available, otherwise external procurement
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management and sufficient stock quantity is available in the warehouse on the requested date.
Always reservation for materials subject to inventory management
The system creates a reservation if the material is subject to inventory management, irrespective of whether stock is available.you knew tis ver well.
