SRM CCM Contracts in a Held Status

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can advise what we need to do as two of our main contracts appeared to have 'locked up' and gone into a held status. We are currently using CCM SRM 5.0.
When going into change the contracts, the release button is greyed out and the error message we receive is 'No purchasing group exists'. However, the contracts do have a valid purchasing group assigned.
At the time they went into a held status we were trying to add items/remove items etc for one and re-activate an item on the other.
Since they have gone into a held status, changes have been made to other contracts successfully, but no-one is able to bring these contracts out of the held status.
Any suggestions on what we can do would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Lisa

Hi,
This is due to change version exists in Contract. To cross check please have a look on BBP_PD with appropriate contract object type. You have to close the change version by putting X mark against document closed in the table BBP_PDHGP or
try with selecting DELETE button from the Process Contract screen. It will ask popup for you to accept that change version will be deleted. Please accept so that the contract will be automatically changed to RELEASED. I hope the above information is very useful to you.
Thanks

Contract getting into HELD status even after clicking Release button.

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding Contracts. We have a contract and trying to extend the validity date. Once "Release" button is clicked the Contract is getting into "HELD" status which is incorrect. Correct status should be "Released" status.
We have not implemented any approval workflow for contracts. Please can anyone provide any solution or pointers to resolve this issue.
We are on SRM 5.0, ECS.
Thanks

Passing CUF fields from SRM to ECC 6.0 and PO in Held status

Hi All,
We are upgarding from SRM 5.0 to SRM 5.5 ( New system ) and 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
We have implemented classic scenario. All the codes (BADIs) have been copied to the new systems. We are facing two issues here
1. CUF fields are not being passed to ECC 6.0
2. PO in ECC 6.0 is in held status.
Regarding issue No.1, the CUF coding is in BADI BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK and I hope I dont have to do anything at R/3 end as it will be taken care of.
Adding header details
wa_ct_po_extension-structure = 'BAPI_TE_PO_HEADER'.
WRITE po_number TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1.
WRITE x_sc_item-zz_moc_rating TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+10(1).
WRITE x_sc_item-zz_insurance TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+11(2).
WRITE x_sc_item-zz_sr_offshore TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+13(2).
WRITE x_sc_item-zz_sr_onshore TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+15(2).
WRITE x_sc_item-zz_os_indem TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+17(2).
WRITE x_sc_item-zzreqno TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+48(10).
WRITE l_newvalue TO wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+75(17).
APPEND wa_ct_po_extension TO ct_po_extension.
clear wa_ct_po_extension.
Item Fields to EKPO
loop at po_items into x_po_items.
wa_ct_po_extension-structure = 'BAPI_TE_PO_ITEMS'.
write x_po_items-po_item to wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1.
write x_sc_item-zzreqno to wa_ct_po_extension-valuepart1+5(10).
append wa_ct_po_extension to ct_po_extension.
endloop.
Do let me know, if anything further has to be done.
Point 2. PO is in held status, any thoughts on this.
Thanks and Regards,

PO in held status with price zero

Hi Gurus,
Here is an interesting challenge and perhaps a learning curve for us , as in my project we are facing a strange issue with Automatic PO creation from SC !
The SC is created by choosing an item having product category , vendor , price and contract combination from MDM catalog and is fully approved. On approval the Automatic PO is created without going to Sourcing cockpit. (with the Sourcing setting).
But surprisingly the PO is with ZERO value and goes in held status !! On clicking the Check button , following is the error message which crops up :
Enter the price or set the 'Invoice Expected' indicator (Item 1)
The invoice expected indicator is already set as observed in the Item data -> Follow-on-documents tab of PO.
This behavior is happening only for the new company code configured with new currency both in R/3 and SRM system, however all other company codes are currently working fine with Automatic PO process. So what exactly is missing for this company code ?
And interestingly if the SC(without MDM) -> Sourcing cockpit -> PO process is carried out the PO is in Ordered status without any errors !
We are in ECC 6.0, SRM 5.0 and MDM Catalogue 5.5 environment.
Kindly give your suggestions , if any further questions please revert back.
Thanks and Regards,
Vikas Mehta

Hi,
1 )Please check for the P.O created from SC with MDM catalgog. The price will be zero in the catlaogue itself.
check the company code for the creator in PPOSA_BBP --attributes the company code is assigned (or) not
2) For the SC created without MDM is free text .you have created using"Describe requriement" ..It will go to the sourcing
cockpit because for this SC there is no souce and source has to be assigned . For this config settings to be done. This is
STD SRM functionality

Purchase Order in Held status

Hi -
We are using extended classic scenario - PO created both in SRM and backend ECC. We configured one level approval for shooping cart. Shopping cart is getting created and approved by the next level approver. However after the shopping cart is approved, PO is created in SRM with held status and backend ECC PO is not created at all. We checked workflow settings and other configs etc. - everything looks great. Can someone throw some light on this issue ?
Thanks
SK

Hi
What is your source of supply ? how did you assign a vendor to the shopping card for creating purchase order?
can you tell me in bbp_pd what is the partner function existing .i think you may not have partner function 19. you may have 39 only.
are you using any BADI to change the partner function?
waht is the value of po existing in currency and item price and total value of PO?
can you create po for other sc ? are you facing this problem for only this po?
check any lock in sm12 t code/ sm58 any logs.
is anybody is holding the PO check via SM04 .
account assignment is active
for eg.cost center which you refered is inactive in the backend.

Shopping Cart needs to be Held Status when created from Upload Program

Hi All,
Shopping Cart is created from Custom Upload Program. In Upload Program, we used BBP_PD_SC_CREATE, BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE, BBP_PD_SC_SAVE and BBP_PD_SC_COMMIT.
Once the Shopping Cart is created from this upload program, I want ot put Shopping Cart as Helad Status.
I exported the parameter I_PARK as 'X' in BBP_PD_SC_CREATE and BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. But it is not working i.e., the SRM system is not keeping the Shopping Cart as Held Status.
Scenario:
I am uploading the Shopping Cart Items (Shopping Cart creation) on behalf of my manager. My manager has to approve Shopping Cart.
If shopping cart is created maually and Shopping cart value is within the spending limit, work flow is not triggered approval proceess. If I am creating shopping cart behalf of some one, I am adding the approver manually while creating.
When ever we create shopping cart through custom upload program, the shopping cart needs to be approved by the Requestor (my manager, to cross check shopping cart items). So I want to park the Shopping Cart and I want to add Approver as my manager.
Please suggest me or guide me to get the solution for my issue.
Thanks,
Sudarsan

SRM Local Contracts - Price Conditions

Hi,
We are trying to extract the price conditions from the SRM Local Contract line items, with the Condition Type, Valid From, Valid To, Amount, Price Unit, Unit. This is to allow us to track the changes in contract prices.
If you have any experience of this, or know which SRM tables we need to be extracting from it would be greatly appreciated! We already have the Contract Header and Line information from CRMD_ORDERADM_H, CRMD_ORDERADM_I, BBP_PDHGP and BBP_PDIGP. Where are the conditions stored? And are there any extractors planned for this in the future? It would be very useful standard content.
Thanks.

ERP invoice with reference to SRM Basic Contract?

Hi
In SAP SRM you can create a shopping cart or a PO with reference to a SRM Basic Contract by setting the item number to 0 like: 4700000107/0
But with the new Ehp1 SAP states that ERP invoices can be created with reference to a SRM central contract (via SRM_SERVICE_PROC_1). But can you create the invoice with reference to contract item 0?
The idea is to have the non PO related invoices registrered on the basic contract in SRM along with the PO's. A basic contract can't be copied to ERP, as there is no lines on it, but is the ERP contract copy needed for this scenario?
So two questions:
- is the ERP contract copy from SRM needed to use the Ehp1 functionality of creating invoices with reference to a SRM contract?
- can the ERP invoice be created with reference to a basic SRM contract by giving the contract item as 0 or in another way?
BR
Jacob

Hello,
With SRM 70 EHP1 you can create ERP invoice against your SRM Central Contract distributed to ERP.
To enable this you need to do few settings in ERP, for the same you can refer to the config guides available at Service market place for SRM701 releases.
Configuring Contract Handling for Invoices : You use this procedure to configure contract handling for invoices in the SAP ERP system. You have activated the Procurement - SRM Integration 2 (LOG_MM_P2PSE_2) business function in the SAP ERP system.
Steps :
1. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Incoming Invoice -- Activate Direct Posting to Contracts , to allow direct references to contracts when creating invoices and parking documents.
2. In Customizing for SAP ERP, perform the activity under : Materials Management -- Logistics Invoice Verification -- Invoice Block -- Set Tolerance Limits , to set the tolerance key for contracts (PC: Price variance for contract).
The feature is termed as Invoice Reconciliation here.

Rahul

Purchase order with HELD status

Hi,
After approval of shopping cart all my purchase order are created with held status.
When controlling the purchase order i have the error message "Select a location to which a plant has been assigned"
Could anyone please give some explanation.
Thanks

Hi
Hope it would not allow to order a cart since you don thave a plant details?
check it up. If Po created check why plant details are not copied into your PO.

Purchase order with decimal values in held status.

Hello, i have a SC. The quantity is decimal for the line item.When it was approved, the PO got a 'held' status.How do i release the PO and what can i do in order to accept decimal values in my SC ?

Hello,
Are you sure this is not a workflow issue? If it is held, someone either placed it in hold status or something like that. Since, there was nothing to suspect an application error, I don't think the decimals is your issue. If you feel that it is, have you checked OSS.
More information would be helpful....

BAPI to post GR based invoices in Held status

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone was aware of a BAPI that can be used to post goods receipt based invoices in SAP with a held status. I have reviewed the available BAPIs for posting MM and FI documents in SAP and can't seem to find any information on how to make the available BAPIs post an invoice with a 'HELD' status.
Thank you.

SRM 7 Contract Distribution not possible in PPS - is it true ?

Hi SRM Gurus,
I gather that the SRM 7.0 Central Contract are not distributed to ECC 6.04 in PPS environment.
( Ours is SRM 7.0 ECC 6.0 Enhp 4 with PI 7.11 on PPS - ECS.)
Correct me if i am wrong.
If so, is there any other way to distribute Central Contract to ECC . Even it its partial distribution.
Thogh, I hv config for CCTR following the SNote 1268821. To start the problem, the Distribution button on the header of the contract is disabled. CCTR tran type configured both in SRM and ECC.
Kindly share your thoughts.

Hello,
You can try reverting the note 1354971, to get an assign distribution button active at item level.
Interfaces(XML) which are used to transfered the central contract are not extended to all the fields related to PPS functionality. Eg. Guaranteed Minimum.
These fields will not be transfered to backend and other process like release value updation to the backend contract has limitation as PPS funcalities can be used only in extended classic scenario.
So we have a limitation and also this functionality will not be supported in PPS.
Nevertheless, you can enable this funcationality and use with the limitation.
You will have to handle this through custom meta data handle where you need to create dynamic class and method and maitain in the customizing table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HC. You can enable the Assign distribution button and link in the dynamic class.
You can check the configuration in the standard meta table /SAPSRM/V_MDA_HD for reference.

SRM Central Contract Management with Service Hierarchy

Hello Gurus !
Is it possible to use the export/import functionality (with the business function SRM_CONT_IMPR_2) for changing/adding the service hierarchies in SRM Central Contract? I see the SAP note that the hierarchies are not supported for Purchase Order.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
it's not supported for contracts either.
