SRM Bussiness Process

Dear SRM Experts,
We are trying to implement this bussines process.
1-Create a PR in R3 (Direct and Indirect materials)
2-Transfer them to SRM, with PDP
3-Create a Bid Invitation with reference to this PR (we belive that the PR maintains the same number as in R3)
4- Vendor enters the price
5- Create the PO in SRM,transfer it to R3 and end the Bussines Process in R3.
Is it correct using the classic scenario?
Thanks for the Information!

Hi
Procedure as per points 1,2,3 are correct.
4. Send Bid invitation to vendor. vendor submit price. Purchaser accepts/reject the Bid.
5. Initiate PO create process in SRM for the accepted Bid. But actually the PO gets created in Backend system in classic scenario. Batch job update the value(backend PO) in SRM document history.
Do reward points if helpful.
Regards
Jagadish

Hi Karthikeyan,
 Bussiness process in BW menas.. nothing but just extracting the source data from the client systems... and store in in efficient way.. and finally generate the Reports..(in BEx or Web)
.. for implementing the any SAP project means.. the following steps we need to follow..
ASAP Methodology,....Five Phases of ASAP methodlogy.
Phase 1: Project Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The Business Blueprint document represents the business process requirements of the company. It is the agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System.
Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope).
Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
Phase 5: Go Live & Support - The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.
Handling Tickets means..
 when you are in supporting project that time.. you wil get Tickets(noting but problem issues)
based on priorities..(Level 1 , Leval 2, level 3..0)seperate tool i wil be there for receiving the tickets,...
you need to give the solution.. and solve those tickets....

Support bussiness process in sd?

i want information about Support bussiness process in sd?

What the job responsibilites would be for the Support Consultant? If the Consultant is working in Offshore Support, How the business interaction would be there between the Consultant and Customer? How the Customer Queries were handled successfully sitting from his location.
Job responsibility of a Support consultants is to handle routine tickets, which can be incident (routine problems), change tickets (need configuration change, therefore a change request), normally a support consultant can only advice a change but can't do it , because there is always a change advisory board on client end to evaluate and implement the adviced change.
Business intercation between users and customer can be through mail box utilities, outlook, even telecons and some companies also allow chat.
Usually the customer provides with the number of the document and client/company code and other necessary info. about the process which is facing problem, the consultant tracks the project by logging in to development server and search out for causes, the solution is then sent to user, maybe with snapshot if required.
For those people who asks for for tickets:
1. Tickets are normally raised by end user and carry a priority.
2. Those who are asking SAP gurus to tell them about tickets, pls note that most of the problems except for the basic questions discussed in this group are the tickets themselves, tickets are nothing but the routine incidents the SAP consultants get, if you regularly read the mails in the group you will soon start recognizing tickets.
And the most important thing "Believe in yourself and God, as there is always somebody there to help you".

What is your bussiness process in sd?

what is your bussiness process in sd?

dear srinivas,
business process is nothing but how our clints business runs
it depends on Company to Company
in SAP we will call it AS IS mean clints present business process
for Ex: in some pharma companies they will send the invoice before delivery, once they get the payment then they will delivery the goods
for this we will configure in SAP as per the clints business requirement, we will call it TOBE
hope it clear now
rewards if it helps

Complexity of using N-step BADI in SRM 7using Process controlled Workflow.

Hi,
Just as a big thought,
I have a Shopping Cart requirement, Here i am asked to develop a Custom workflow for SRM 7.0.
And the client is looking for us to use Process Control Workflows i.e(BRF integrated one).
I need to understand the complexity of using a N-step BADI.
How would be the complexity level if I use a N step BADI( ie Multiple approval levels on Line Item Based).
Kindly tell me the complexity of Using it and if any one has come across some requirement like this, then explain me that how did you face the situation.
Expecting an Earliest Response.
Thanks,
Shanky

Hi,
Is your project SRM 7.0 implementation project then you have to go for Process Controlled Workflow and if your project is upgrade then you can still go with Application Controlled Workflow but down line this has to switch to Process Controlled Workflow.

ECC 6.0 AP vs SRM Invoice processing

My client has implemented SRM on it's own instance and is in the process of implementing ECC 6.3 on it's own instance. The question being debated is where to house SRM's Invoice Processing.
My recommendation is to keep all financial process in the ECC instance. Does anyone know if there is an SAP recommendation for this scenario?

The choice depends on your scenarios/requirements - classic, extended, or decoupled. It makes no difference in FI module, the payment cycle will be the same. If invoice is entered in SRM, data is passed to ECC via BADI/BAPI's.
The pro's and cons are available in SAP SRM documentation and SAP Press book 'The Consultant´s Guide to SAP SRM'.

SRM error 'process time remaining' for Rfx

The simultaneous opening of the RFxs were performed. But it was not possible to open the offers as the system was showing ' process time remaining'. At that time the times remaining for the 3 RFxs was shown around 4 hours 30 minutes. The offers were tried to open next day. Again the system was showing ' process time remaining', but the time remaining for the 3 RFxs are shown about 2 hours .Please suggest .

Simultaneous Logon at RFx Response Opening
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm702/helpdata/EN/38/37aa392d61407089454548b98355a8/content.htm
Also as far as I am aware, by default, simultaneous logon is only available for RFXs with two-envelope RFX responses. The following is a detailed explanation of the process from 1 of my colleagues:
Two-Envelope response opening process:
01. Buyer creates a RFx/Bid invitation with the transaction type that
    is configured for two envelope bidding.
02. Enter the mandatory datas: submission deadline, bidders, items,
    permissions for technical/price/tender fee opening, etc
03. Publish RFx.
04. Login with bidder and "Participate" to receive emails.
05. If tender fee is requested, then pay tender fee with bidder user.
06. Create a Response with bidder user and submit.
07. Now you have to wait till the submission deadline has been passed
    to give the chance for the other bidders to participate in the RFx
    process.
08. After the submission deadline has been passed the buyer has to
    "Initiate Price/Technical RFx Response Opening" for a certain given
    time (which can be set earlier.)
09. A new window will pop up to start the simultaneous logon.
10. Provide password and hit the approve button.
11. The pop up window will display Technical Opener's name.
    We can see the time remaining to perform the Technical opening
12. In the next step, we will have to login to perform the technical
    opening. Do NOT close this window or do NOT logoff from the portal.
    If you think you will require more time to perform the technical
    opening you can extend this time. This will give additional minutes
    to perform the opening.
13. To perform technical opening:
    Login to WTS or open a new session of Internet Explorer and login
    to Portal. At this point in time, you will have two sessions:
    - one on your local computer
    - and one in WTS/New session
14. Open the rfx and click on Open technical rfx response.
15. The Technical Opener/Reviewer now authenticates himself/herself by
    entering the password. After it hit "Approve" button.
16. In the next step you will receive a message:
    "User approval successful"
17. The Simultaneous Logon and opening of technical/price RFx response
    is now performed.
18. Hit on Close button to close the pop up.
19. Hit on Close to close the RFx screen.
20. You have to wait till the Response opening time has been passed.
21. After the time has been passed the Response can be opened.
If the document changes in the meantime and if it needs approval (no
automatic approval is configured) then you have approve the documents
in the process with a given user.
I hope that this helps.
Kind regards,
Conor

Bussiness Process, Integration Process, cc-BPM, BPM

Hello Everybody!!! Please help me!
1) In XI, Business Process = Integration Process = cc-BPM = BPM ??? Are these four the same thing?
2) Please tell me if I'm wrong: we have two types of message exchange in XI, stateless (through simple message exchange) and (ii) statefull (with BPM). There is no other type, ok?
thank you

Bussiness process of Inter company sales and why we suggest Inter company

Dear All SD Gurus,
I want to Know the business procees of inter company sales and why we suggest inter company sales to clint?.
Because in Third party sales also vendor delivers the goods to customer so why we need to go for Inter company.I want know the Major defferences between them.
Please Help
Regards
S Kumar

Dear Sandeep
1) Inter Company Transfer
We should not call the inter company transfer as sales. The proper way to account for these transfers is to treat them as consignment sales.
Why?
1) You do not recognize income until the stock is actually sold to the end user (ie retailer, wholesaler).
2) You minizime your taxable income.
2) Third Party Sales
In third-party order processing, your company does not deliver the items requested by a customer. Instead, you pass the order along to a third-party vendor who then ships the goods directly to the customer and bills you. A sales order may consist partly or wholly of third-party items. Occasionally, you may need to let a vendor deliver items you would normally deliver yourself.
Thanks

N-step approval process for PO in SRM 7

Here are a couple of questions I have regarding N-Step approval configuration for PO in SRM 7 Process Controlled Workflow:
1) It's our business requirement that the last-change person of the PO is defined as the first approver in the chain. I tested with RR_EMPLOYEE and a hard-coded user BP number (my own), but got error "Strategy RR_EMPLOYEE did not determine any approver". Changing to any other user's BP number worked. So I am guessing the buyer himself can not be an approver. Since this is a business requirement, we wouldn't mind developing enhancement to work around this restriction. If you could point me to the place where this is checked, that would help me.
2) I have set up the process level configuration as such:
100 ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001 PO approval level 1 RR_EMPLOYEE Specify Employee for Approval
200 ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_002 PO approval level 2 RR_MANAGER Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
300 ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_003 PO approval level 3 RR_MANAGER Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
The corresponding expressions are simply checking against the PO total value, such as -
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 0 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 1,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 1,000 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 25,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 25,000
But when I checked the Approver list with a PO with total value > 50,000, only the first level is triggered and listed. And once approved, the PO went into "Ordered" status. But it should have gone through 3 levels of approval. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out what might have been wrongly defined in my configuration.
Thanks!

SAP recently released the consultant OSS note to handle this issue.. when the release the SRM 7.0 , SC requestor or PO creator ( Buyer ) cant be in the approval list.. later on they release a OSS note to handle this issue.. 1551561\
2) I have set up the process level configuration as such:
100 ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001 PO approval level 1 RR_EMPLOYEE Specify Employee for Approval
200 ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_002 PO approval level 2 RR_MANAGER Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval

But it should have gone through 3 levels of approval. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out what might have been wrongly defined in my configuration.
once you implement the OSS note Q1, you can build the custom RR resolver to handle this issue with in one process level.. but you have to implement the process level BADI as well.. please refer /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_PO badi for more details
