SRM and DMS linkage

Hi SAP Gurus,
Hi SAP Gurus,
1) How will we link DMS content server to the SRM server, like we do with SAP R/3 and content server.
the senario is the vendor has to see the documents stored in DMS along with other details in SRM
and reply suitably,
right now SRM is using a concept called C-folder to communicate with vendors,
2) is C-folders similar like WEB-DMS,
3)  if for 1000s of vendor to access the documents of DMS these vendors should have SAP User ID and Password ?
Thanks in Advance,
Kumar K

Hi Kumar,
If the requirement is dat vendor wants to see documents stored in DMS along with other other details in SRM then you can go for object linking.
in DMS u can select or create a object for SRM which creates integration with SRM and then vice-versa u can see the documents in DMS or from SRM.
Yes..now SRM is using concept of c-Folders for communicating with vendors,since c-Folders has functionality of maintaining public and private collaboration scenarios so c-Folders is being used to communicate between Suppliers and Vendors.
c-Folders is not like webDMS, it is a separate application for which the link can be created from portal itself.
in c-Folders user ID and password can be created which need not have any licenses.
Thank You,
Manoj
Pl. reward if useful.

  • SRM and DMS Content server Linkage

    Hi Every one,
    have any one worked in DMS and SRM integration please provide some details how to integrate  DMS Content Server and SRM,
    also SRM is also using a concept of C-folders and it is expected to link the documents stored in Content server to be retrived by C-Folder users
    Please throw some light on this Integration
    Thanks and regards
    Kumar K

    Hi,
    You will require SAP SRM - cFolder component for SRM bidding engine. For the content server you will require 2 content servers one for DMS and second for cFolders in DMZ zone provided you are working in DMZ zone for cFolders and this component is not directly installed over SAP application server.
    The cFolders content server is optional but recommended.

  • SRM and SAP DMS Content server integration.

    Hi Sap Gurus,
    We are having a requirement to maintain the External documents (relating to Shopping Cart and POs) of SRM in the DMS content server,
    is this possible? if so what is the methord that should be used to connect SRM and DMS Content server.
    please eloborate.
    also we would love to make use of DMS funtionality for maintaining documents in SRM, which i tought is not at all possible as we could not run any of the DMS Transaction in SRM like CV01N /2 /3/ 4, is there any way to integrate DMS and SRM.
    Points Awaiting for usefull answers.
    Thanks and Kind Regards

    Hi Priya,
    If i understand your question correctly you want to transfer documents which are attached at the shopping cart level in SRM to flow in to ECC at PR or PO level? If that the case following steps require to have documents flow into ECC.
    SRM Side:
    Implement BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW (If you are on classic scenario i.e. Shopping cart to PR creation) or BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW (For extended classic) with following code:
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
    cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
    cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
    ECC Side:
    -Create new document type for SRM with T.code DC10. Following parameters need to be set for that
    a.     Check Use KPro
    b.     Check Version Assignment
    c.     Check Change Docs
    d.     Assign Internal number range as u201C02u201D and external number range as u201C01u201D
    e.     Select Number Exit u201CMCDOKZNRu201D
    f.     Version number increment u201C1u201D
    g.     File Size u201C10000000u201D
    -     Assign following Object links to the new created document type u201CSRMu201D.
    a.     Type as u201CSRMu201D
    b.     Object as u201CEBANu201D and u201CEKPOu201D respectively
    c.     Object description as u201CPurchase req. itemu201D and u201CPurchase order itemu201D respectively
    d.     Screen number u201C247u201D for EBAN and u201C248u201D for EKPO.
    - Request basis to verify DC30 transaction code that all the necessary document type are allowed to x'fer (i.e. .doc, .xls , .jpg etc)
    With this setting we were able to successfully transfer document from SRM side to ECC side.
    Thanks

  • Internal use flag of attachment in SRM and ERP

    Hi
    In SRM RFx bid document, when i attach file and checked internal flag for the attachment,
    how does it behave in ERP system? does ERP has option for internal use?
    Currently i using Content server and storing file attachment in Document type SRM.
    Where can i confirm the internal flag is checked for the document in ERP.
    Looks like SRM has internal use option and ERP does not have internal use option at DMS screen CV01n
    or document screen
    Pls advice
    Regards
    Chandra

    Where can i confirm the internal flag is checked for the document in ERP.
    As far as I understand, ECC RFQ does not have attachment capability. Where would you want the RFx in SRM and its attachments to flow in ECC?
    If you are talking about follow-on documents of an SRM RFx, such as PO/CTR to be replicated in ECC, then no, ECC attachment does not have "internal" flag. Such flag is only in SRM to indicate the visibility of an attachment to the purchasing company and vendors. If "internal" is set, the document is invisible to the vendors/suppliers.

  • Link SRM and back-end in a query

    hi experts,
    i'm doing a query in SRM 4.0 with a back-end ECC 6.0.
    This query includes some TABLES/VIEWS of SRM and others of ECC 6.0 (MM module). Pay attention: i know how is possible to link the views between them, i need to know how to connect two system (SRM and ECC6.0 - MM module) in the same query.
    thanks a lot
    ab

    Hi,
    thank you for your response. This query is developed with tool SQ01, and his scope is to get data from R/3 tables (Eban,Ekko,Ekpo,Lfa1) and SRM tables (BBP_PDView_IAP,BBP_PDView_ACC,...), for view shopping cart state on SRM, and its relative Purchase Order on MM.
    Can you make me an example for RFC-enabled function modules (Business APIs) ?
    thanks a lot

  • PO with status "Deleted" in SRM and status "Awaiting Approval" in BW

    Hi,
    Report Purchase Order status ( 0BBP_PO_Q007) on ODS 0BBP_PO shows status "Awaiting Approval" for Purchase Orders that have status "Deleted" in the SRM source system.
    Any idea about an appropriate OSS note or other work around solution?
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    1) The PO data can be extracted from SRM or R/3 . But the advantage of extracting data from R/3 is that you have lot many other data while compared to SRM system . In case u are having SRM and Sap R/3 or ECC as your backend system , it is always better to  extract PO data from R/3 or ECC. In case your backend system is going to be other than SAP system , probably we can think of extracting data from SRM.
    2) GR and invoice data always have to be pulled from R/3 system
    3) Shopping cat details exist only in SRM and the details has to be extracted only from SRM .
    Suggest to extract 1) shopping cart from SRM  2) PO,GR and Invoice from SAP R/3 or ECC.
    Hope above clarifies your questions

  • Business Partner from SRM and CRM in BW

    Gurus,
    We are implementing both CRM and SRM this summer. Both make extensive use of Business Partner (0BPARTNER) which is causing headaches. CRM sends "customers" to BW via Business Partner and SRM sends vendors, purchasers and other stuff to BW via Business Partner. Unfortunately, the values of the keys of vendors clash with the value of the keys of customers. For example, Acme Suppliers could be numbered vendor 100 in SRM and Charles Customer could be numbered customer 100 in CRM. Last one loaded to Business Partner in BW wins.
    I have three solutions so far:
    1. Compund 0BPARTNER with source system in BW and lfow downstream to all infoproviders.
    2. Create a separate object such as ZBPARTNER and load all SRM entities to this characteristic.
    3. Force each subsystem to change their number ranges. I suspect that is what SAP's Master Data Maintenance does, but I have no experience with this tool.
    Has anyone faced this dilemma before? Am I missing something?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Customer and Vendor are two seperate business entities and deliver seperate business function.
    Both of them should be staged seperately. You may have seperate objects for Customer and Vendor. (0CUSTOMER & 0VENDOR).
    I agree that both are business partners but functions are different so should be treated as seperate antity.
    I hope it will help.
    Thanks,
    S

  • PO Vendor not matching between SRM and R/3

    Hi Gurus.. I'm facing a problem with a PO.. as the Subject says, what is happening is that when I look in SRM/SRM Portal for the PO it has a vendor and in R/3 has another...
    In bbp_pd i found this about partner:
    the first line, fixed vendor, which is in blue, corresponds to the CORRECT vendor..
    the second line, preferred vendor, which is in red, corresponds to the incorrect vendor (the one in R/3)
    think that the problem might be related to something with this config.. but not sure or how to solve the problem...
    any idea?? thanks!

    Hi
    Do you have different settings for Fixed and Preferred vendors in ECC and SRM......
    It seems your preferred vendor is a Fixed Vendor in ECC and thats the reason the vendor is changed in ECC.
    I will recommend this analysis option to you:
    1. Activate the Test data recording for the BAPI which is creating the PO in ECC. You can follow the procedure defined in OSS Note 539978 - Automatic generation of BAPI test data directory.
    2. Create your document(Same data with fixed and preferred vendor) in SRM and approve the same so that system sends the data to ECC for creation of PO there.
    3. The activation in Step 1 will result in creation of a data record in Test data directory of the BAPI in ECC (instead of creating the PO there).
    4. Check the data in the test directory, to see which vendor has been sent by SRM. If the directory has correct vendor(on lines of SRM), then execute the data in debug mode and see why it is being changed in ECC while PO is created there
    5. If the test directory has incorrect Vendor then check your SRM driver FMs or BADIs which could be changing the data before sending it to the ECC System

  • SRM and Inventory with a Contract

    Using ECC 6, SRM 7(Extended Classic)
    Contracts maintained in backend and replicated into SRM.
    Inventory Contract created in a 'bulk' fashion - e.g. - without a specific Material.
    Contract is setup in ECC with an Item Category of 'M' (Material Unknown) and an Account Assignment Category of blank.
    If using ECC we then raise a Purchase Order - this works fine.
    When replicating the Contract into SRM it fails error is 'BL001' - Item type error.
    General Scenario - We have a contract for numerous goods (Clothing) , so we enter one (1) line in the Contract. We can't define a specific material on the Contract as the goods required vary ecah Shoppnig Cart - e.g. - Shirt Blue Size 10 on 1 SC, then next day may be Trousers Grey Long - whatever. All of the various types of clothing are covered under one (1) Contract.
    We can;t specify a particular Material on the Contract because the SC (and subsequent PO) will validate against the Contract Material. This all works fine in SRM and it seems that our problem is the inability to replicate teh contract into SRM since it does not recognise the 'M' Item Type category.
    Any guidance appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Gerry Steer

    Hello Gerry
    I dont know the answer but i am telling the fact of SRM
    SRM has three Item types
    Material
    Product category
    Services
    but i understand you use this report BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD program to transfer all ECC contract to SRM as a repository upon your business rule,
    SAP SRM dont have idea how material unknown M item category mapped in SRM
    as of i know there is no option in SRM for this MATERIAL UNKNOWN item type .
    SERVICE - AVAILABLE IN SRM
    MATERIAL - KNOWN MATERIAL AVAILABLE IN SRM
    MATERIAL GROUP - Available in SRM
    Please kindly report to SAP via OSS message  , i think this unknown material mapping must be done as equivalent to ECC or some alternative like product category contract.

  • SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

    Dear all,
    my question is:
    We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
    We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
    Then detailled question is:
    Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
    Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
    Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
    Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
    Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
    Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
    IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
    Thanks in avance

    Hello RD,
    That's a good question.
    You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
    But..
    Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
    - reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
    - mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
    CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
    So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
    But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
    You will find everywhere this piece of code:
      Call ECI
        CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
          TABLES
            it_input          = lt_mapping_in
            et_output         = lt_mapping_out
          EXCEPTIONS
            logsys_not_found  = 1
            driver_not_found  = 2
            product_not_found = 3
            internal_error    = 4
            OTHERS            = 5.
    So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
    I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
    - Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
    - Distribute this product into SRM.
    - Maintain contracts on those products.
    - Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
    - Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
    For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
    For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
    https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
    For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
    https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

  • XI content for SRM and CCM scenario - mapping

    Hi All,
    We are using the standard business content for integrating SRM with CCM to update contract information from SRM to CCM. Both SRM and CCM are on the same system.
    The configuration scenario used is MasterDataInclusionInCatalogOnWAS700 which is in the name space SAP CATALOG CONT.MGMT. 2.0_700 , http://sap.com/xi/CCM/CAT.
    There are 2 interfaces being referred by this scenario: CatalogUpdateNotification_Out and this CatalogUpdateNotification_In and both the interfaces are pointing to the same meesage type CatalogTransmission but they are in different name spaces.
    Once the scenario was configured there was no interface mapping available in the standard business content to map the above 2 interfaces.
    SAP SRM SERVER 5.5
    CatalogUpdateNotification_Out
    CatalogTransmission
    http://sap.com/xi/EBP
    SAP CATALOG CONT.MGMT. 2.0_700 ,
    CatalogUpdateNotification_In
    CatalogTransmission
    http://sap.com/xi/CCM/CAT
    Is this the normal case and we need to develop our own mapping or is the standard content not imported correctly?
    The service pack details are as follows:
    PI 7.0 SP level 14
    XI content
    u2022 SAP BASIS 7.00 - SP 14
    u2022 SAP CATALOG CONT.MGMT. 2.0_700 - SP 12
    u2022 SAP SRM SERVER 5.5 - SP 11
    u2022 SAP ABA 7.00 - SP 14
    Thanks,
    Shravan

    ditto, anybody received a response from SAP with regards to this problem?
    As suggested above, we could build our own mapping in XI but this would obviously be a modification to SAP standard which we would prefer to avoid.
    Regards, Kyle.
    OK Received a response from SAP dated Oct. 9, 2008
    I assume that you have installed NW 7.00 SP14 (or higher).
    Within earlier versions the mapping from XML to ABAP was to lax.
    The XML message was processed witout regarding the name of the root
    element. This was fixed with SP14.
    When you call an interface the XML message must match with the type
    defined in the WSDL used for proxy generation.
    Either the message or the WSDL used to generate the proxy seems to be
    wrong here.
    Here is a work around should solve this problem until we make available in a standard note soon.
    I will do it internally to our development team but I am sorry that i can not tell now when the note will be ready.

  • Tax calculation in SRM and passing onto R/3 PO

    Hi,
    We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP07 and R/3 4.7 backend.
    1. We have a requirement wherein we want the tax determination to happen in SRM. Basically there is no logic for determining the tax codes, but the user himself selects it per line item when creating the cart.
    2. We want this to be transferred to the backend PO line item. The tax codes in SRM and R/3 are identical.
    Can this be achieved by standard configuration?
    I checked that there are 4 choices for tax calculation in SRM
    No tax calculation
    Tax calculation occurs in backend
    Customer specific implementation'
    Tax calc occurs via external system
    tax calc occurs via TTE
    I am not sure which one we should be selecting (currently its no tax calc). I am also not sure if the tax code which is selected in SRM will be passed onto R/3 Or should this be mapped in the BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW Badi?
    The option thro development is to provide a custom field where users can enter the tax code/choose from a list and then map it to the tax code(TAX_CODE - MWSKZ) field in badi BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW. But we would prefer to stick to the standard options if they are feasible.
    Any pointers to this would be very helpful.
    Regards,
    Srivatsan

    Hi,
    If you have a classic scenario where the PO is created in the backend only the standard configurations will work for this.
    1) Determine System for Tax Calculation--- R/3 Tax calculation occurs in backend.
    Tax calculation occurs in the Backend System
    Tax calculation occurs via RFC in the backend system in Financial Accounting. If an external system is connected to the backend system (Vertex or Taxware, for example), this is automatically called from the backend system.
    2) Enter tax code :
    As you mentioned use the same key and also the description here. Make the zero tax as No tax and make it as default also ( which is safer for all users).
    With these two config steps you will get an F4 help in the for all the tax codes defined whereas the system will suggest the zero tax as the default.
    The other config steps are optional where you can have tax codes for you product category. Please do configurations in these steps only if required.
    This SC tax code will be there in the PO created from SRM provided if you have entry for this in FTXP in the R3 system.
    As far as we have configured you dont need BADI for this standard Tax calculations.
    If the invoice is made in R3 with reference to this PO then this tax code can be changed.
    Best regards,
    Sridhar.
