SRM 7.0 Central Contracts Excel upload

Hello All,
We are implementing SRM7.0 implementing Central Contracts ,want to use the Contract upload function using the excel file , not able to see the button or link to do the same .
Am i missing something.
Pl. help.
Cheers,

Hello Jay,
I would like to import central contract to SRM 7.0 via excel file. When I click the import button after edit functionality and choose the file path from the computer and push the upload, button, I got an error message saying File type of specified file C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Contract.xls not supported . Therefore, the excel file cannot be imported to the SRM system. When I also try to import tablimited format of .txt files, I got same error message and unfortunately I cannot achieve central contracts to be imported. How can I solve this issue? Should I check some customizing settings or something?
Many thanks for your guidence,

SRM 7.0 Central Contract- Distribution to backend failure

Hello experts,
We are implementing SRM 7.0 Central contracts scenario with PI.
The Contracts get created and Released but the problem is that the Distribution to backend fails. The Status in BBP_PD shows 'Distribution Incorrect' and the RZ20 gives an error 'Backend data cannot be read'.
We checked all the configuration settings (including the PI settings) and everything seems to be in order.
Would appreciate if someone could throw some light on the potential cause of the problem.
Thanks
Raman.

Message must have created . check all SRM outbound transactions .but PI could not catch them.
Note 1284369 - User attributes check in Contract distribution via services - what is your SP level in SRM 700.
The sap stratergy in earlier version
table in ECC BBPD_CTR_IDOCREF with message 019-This will result in setting the GOA status to 'Distribution Incorrect'.
so SAP might have tried the same way in CCTR as well, Once message are created and this message number like IDOC number updated in ECC table for the further refrence .so like wise SRM trying to communicate the same to ECC but it would have failed.
do you remeber when GOA idoc fails this table we will have reference number and reprocessing idoc.
like any reference of your input must register in one ECC table but there may have this table or some other reference table.
/SAPSRM/CL_CH_SOA_MAP_CTR_OUT CLASS DO SOME trick and see what is happening here

SRM 7.0 Central Contracts Migration from ECC existing contracts

Hi colleagues
We are facing the implementation of SRM 7.0 in a client who has ECC installed and we have a doubt with contract migration
We are considering using SRM Central Contracts in order to get them replicated on ECC
All the contracts "alive" that exist in ECC should be created on SRM as central Contracts. The problem is that when you create a SRM central contract the system will replicate it to ECC ... in that case we will have the same contract twice on ECC
Does anybody face this situation?
I figure out that if at the moment we are creating SRM central contracts we turn off XI/PI the system would not replicate the contract to ECC but I think it would return an error without creating the contract on SRM... and even if we managed to create the central contracts in SRM without replicating them to ECC we would have the problem that both contracts wouldn´t be linked
We can´t consider the solution to be creating those contracts on SRM as SRM local contracts because we need to follow contract cicle in SRM after migration
Could anybody help me out with these?
Thanks
Regards

Hello,
You can upload contracts from ECC to SRM using report BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD in SRM.
If you want take care of document type mappings/ Condition type mappings, use badi BBP_CTR_INIT_UP in SRM.

SRM 7.01 Central Contract: Email Notification when contract is distributed

Dear all,
I lwould like to know if it exists a standard functionality for distribution notification and how it is customizable.
The scenario:
I create my central contract in SRM and i would like to be able to send email alert to the back end user (Local Contract Manager for example) when the contract has been distributed correctly. Does the user need to be is the SRM Organisational Structure?
Can i use the event schema like expiring contract notifications?
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Jennifer

The first interface that try to get out from SRM was " PurchasingContractERPRequest_Out_V1", thus based on this interface we made the configuration on PI. So, after pressing button " create contract" on srm if we execute tx SXI_MONITOR in SRM we found the interface " PurchasingContractERPRequest_Out_V1" and in the backend system ( ECC) at tv SXI_MONITOR we found interface PurchasingContractERPRequest_In_V1 for this contract with black and white flag ( processed successfully) but no contract created in ECC not even SRM.
Anyway we have checked that inbound proxy is executed but we dont see any contract created
Is this the right Interface? We are missing something?
Best regads and thanks again for your help!

SRM 7.0 Central Contract-For Centralized Purchasing Scenario

Hello Experts
Is it possible to set up a corporate (read Centralized) Purchasing strategy, where in One Central purchasing organization creates and manages Central contracts for various Plants assigned to different company codes using SRM 7.0 with ECC Backend?
Tried to set this scenario up by assigning Purchase organization directly to Plants (in ECC) but the Contracts were failing during replication in ECC.
Any inputs on this are appreciated.
Thanks
Raman.
Note: Contracts went through successfully in ECC after assigning the Purchasing organization to Company code.

Hi,
Please check this.
SPRO -> Enterprise structure -> Assignment ->
Logistics - General -> Assign Plant to company code.
Assign plant to company code
In the IMG activity "Assignment Plant - Company Code" you assign each plant to a company code.
A plant can only belong to one company code.
Note
Complete functionality of the system can only be ensured if the plants assigned to a company code are only those situated in the same country as the company code.
It is therefore recommended that you also create a company code for each country in which a plant is situated.
Examples
Only then are tax postings created when transferring stock between plants in different countries.
The taxation procedure and Intrastat declaration are supported only for the country of the company code.
Requirements
Before you can assign plants to company codes, you must define the valuation control.
You may change the valuation control in the production system only after contacting your SAP consultant. Changes may cause inconsistencies in documents.
Actions
Assign your plants to company codes.
Regards,
Masa

Central Contract/Purchasing Contract

Hi All,
What is the difference between Central contract and Purchasing contract in SRM 7.0
Also , can we dispaly the central contract in ECC using the transaction code Me33k .
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi,
Purhasing contracts are contracts created in SRM only and never accesed in ERP system. This contract can be used as source of supply in SRM only.
Central contracts are the contracts created in SRM and then distributed to ERP system and YES you can access this contract with me33k. Here the SRM contract and ERP distributed contracts will have the same document number. This contract can be used as source of supply in both ERP and SRM system.
Please note that SRM central contract is the main document where you can make changes and the same contract is displayed in ERP with minimal data.

Sam

Benefits of implementing Central Contracts in SRM 7.

Dear Experts,
Picture the following:
- Classic Scenario.
- One ECC 6 EHP 4 Back end.
I'm currently exploring the benefits of implementing Central Contracts against using only Purchasing Contracts in ECC and replicating them to SRM for use in the Shopping Carts.
So my question is why would you implement central contracts in SRM instead of just replicating these contracts from ECC? What benefits would you get out of having central contracts in place against having only Purchasing Contracts in ECC?
Thanks for your input.

adding to Manju one point .
- Procurement department(PURCHASER) can use web interface to create / manage contracts rather GUI interface and quick contract creation / maintenance
- Approval mechanism simplified with less efforts.
- Different ways to create a contract from SRM
Copy an existing contract
Use an existing template
Upload an external file
Upload a contract from the catalog
Muthuraman
1.You can use this business process to access SAP SRM contract features, such as contract hierarchies, discount across contract hierarchies, and grouping logic, when determining source of supply in SAP ERP.
2.You can create a central contract in SAP SRM, and it can then be used as source of supply in both SAP SRM and SAP ERP. Relevant data is sent to SAP ERP for a source of supply determination, and a specific type of contract or scheduling agreement can be created there.
3.While determining a source of supply, you can access central contracts directly.
4.The price is determined in SAP SRM before the SAP ERP purchase order (PO) is sent to the supplier.
5.You can create and change central contracts and renegotiate existing contracts directly with a supplier, or through the creation of an RFx. You can automatically assign a contract as a source of supply, or it can be listed as one of numerous potential source of supply contracts. A strategic purchaser can create a contract whenever they anticipate a long-term relationship with a supplier.
6.Contract management enables purchasers from various parts of the company at different locations to take advantage of the terms of globally-negotiated contracts for specific product categories. You can provide users with specific levels of authorization to contracts, and you can categorize documents as confidential.
6.You can distribute central contracts to release-authorized purchasing organizations, and these organizations can then use them as source of supply in the appropriate SAP ERP system. Hierarchies can be used to organize, structure, display, and search for contracts.
7.If you use SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP BI), you can view various consolidated reports of contract management. For example, you can view aggregated value released against all contracts in a contract hierarchy.

Badis for PO and Central Contract in SRM 7.0 in classic

Hi everyone,
I need you help. We are working in a implementation of SRM7.0 with ECC 6.0 Ehp 4 in a classic scenario. We want to know which badis we can use in order to change the purchasing group of the PO an Central Contract when their are transfered to ECC.
BR,
Ivá

Hi Muthu,
We are wondering if it is posible the following:
- An user wants to create PO form SRM. This PO in SRM has the Purchasing group XXX, but (for any reason) we need when this PO is send to ECC, the system changes the purchasing group to YYY.

Central Contract SRM

I have an issue, when I create central contract in SRM. The Select System is empty. No values is there on the screen.
Even though I try to create contract I have the error message "No customizing entry for SRDCLNT600 in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST"
We have SRM 7.0 , ECC 6.0 EHP4.

Lya

Hi,
Are you just setting up the system or has it been working already ?
Pl check your "Define Backend Systems" set-up in IMG. There might be some problem here.

SRM, MDM, ECC integration for central contract management.

Hi there,
I am questioned by a client with respect to the possibility of the following scenario -
1. There are several SAP back end systems in place.
2. SRM 7.0 will be implemented as single sourcing system.
3. The SAP back end systems carry different material master codes for the same material and this will remain the same and no cleaning effort to have a unique code across all systems is going to be done.
4. If we use MDM in the mix - will it be possible for the SRM system to act as a central contracting solution and create a central contract with the unique material code in MDM.
5. On distribution of this contract across to individual SAP back end system the back end should map the MDM code to correct material code in that respective system.
Any insights with respect to if this is possible with some enhancements or not at all possible will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Shantanu Joshi

Distributing Central Contract from SRM to ECC

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 in backend (no EHP). We're setting up a central contract with IDOCs. From what I read we have made the configuration:
in SRM:
- Assign attribute CT_PROC_TY = CCTR
- Connfigure new condition type PB00 which is the same with ECC price for contract
- activate the BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS and coding it so for contract it will always go to backend (in method CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE)
- I have activated BADI BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE but writing no code, as there no need for me to do mapping
in ECC:
- Activate inbound IDOC type BLAORD and COND_A and assign it to the logical system of SRM
Then I create the contract in SRM. but:
1. When creating contract, in item overview, i cannot tick 'distribution' indicator. Not sure what is the function
2. In item detail, tab distribution, I cannot put create release-purchasing org. Even when using search help it is not giving any value
Actually dont really understand the usefull of the indicator above, so I let it be empty, then I release the contract
The contract then not appear in ECC. I have checked SMQ1/SMQ2 nothing. Even in WE05 in ECC nothing. The only thing I see is in SLG1 where I see error triggered by user WF-BATCH with message "No recipient found"
Do i miss something in here? Any help will be very appreciated.
Josh

Hi Josh,
Central contract is only possible in SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 EHP 4. You can use local contracts or GOA.

Badis for Central Contract Replication from SRM to ECC

hi
experts
i am working on a scenario of replicating the central contract from SRM 0.7 to ECC via XI/PI
let me know what are the Badis to be implemented in ECC for the Same
looking forward for your reply

Hi,
You do not need any Badi in ECC to distribute central contract to your backend system.
if your ECC system is on ECC 6.0 enpk 4.0 or more,
you can directly distribute your central contract from SRM to ECC system using standard ESOA services.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

SRM 7.0 Call offs against Central contracts

Hello,
We are implementing Central contracts in extended classic scenario.We found that when call offs are done in srm by creating a PO in SRM with central contract as Source of supply, the Central contract fields in PO Line item does not get populated when the PO is transferred to ECC.Nor does the Release value get updated against the Backend contract (as seen in ME33K) though the release value is getting in SRM Central Contract document.This makes the release values in ECC Contract document out of sync with the value in SRM contract document.
Has any one faced this issue? Is this because of a missed setting or Is this a bug or is this the way it works?
Thanks
RamanAK.

Hi
give more details of the CCTR contract USAGE in the existing landscape
i could remember the PCTR behaviors in the ECS mode..
Actually contract information will not be transfered in the PO line when replicate to ECC since this contract is local.
the release values are available only in SRM front end ( total value of contract as well as each line of contract vs PO released).
Did you distribute the contract to backend system as well ?
so now your contract is available for both system
i.e ECS - shopping cart - SRM
and ECC purchase request as well - ECC
Are you enjoying the contract in the both systems?
Earlier GOA release values are updated in SRM via BLAREL idoc technology
but now adays in CCTR interfaces
PurchaseorderErpcontractReleaseNotificationOut - ECC
PurchaseorderErpcontractReleaseNotificationin - SRM
The release value synchronisation continous challenges to the BUYER .
So please clarify with SAP how SRM PO release value and ECC PO release value sync in the ECC purchasing contract.
dOUBLE CHECK
PurchaseorderErpcontractReleaseNotificationOut - ECC
PurchaseorderErpcontractReleaseNotificationin - SRM
