SRM Central Contract

Hi,
We have created successfully Central contracts and distributed to ECC 6.0. I have created Central contract for central purchasing org A as 45xxxxxx and distributed contract for purchasing org B as 54xxxxxx
I have created purchase order for purchasing org B in SRM. Can I use distributed contract for purchasing org B in SRM?
Do I have always go for PO creation for purchasing Org A in SRM?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravikumar,
You donot need to distribute back your ECC contract to SRM system.
The concept of central contract is to use one contract to be used across system landscape.
You can assign local purchasing organization as well as backend purchasing organization to a central contract for distribution. For backend purchasing orgs, the system will create individual contracts for the backend porg. Any consumption of backend contract will keep the central contract in sync. For local SRM porg, it will not create separate contract. It can directly use the central contract in SRM.
So, the answer to your question is big yes. However, it will be relevant only if you are working with extended classic scenario. In classic scneario, the local contract will not be populated for consumption.
I hope, it helps you.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

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.

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

Central contract functionality in SRM 7.0?

Dear Experts,
I would like to have few clarifications about central contract functionality in SRM 7.0.
As per understanding, from SRM 7.0, there is no two separate documents like local contract and GOA (global outline agreement--contract for backend ERP systems). Now, SRM have only one document -Central contract to be used in sourcing for various backend systems as well as the SRM system itself.
Now, my question is as below:
Since the central contract is released into various backend ERP systems, do the backend requisitions needed to be transferred to SRM system to use the central contract as a source of supply . or the backend requisitions can be assigned to the central contract in the ERP system systems itself (without sending it to SRM system ) and released to suppliers?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi,
From ERP 6.0 EhP4, ERP transactions can look at SRM central contracts.

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 701 - Central Contract via XI, no backend ECC contract created

Hi All,
We are trying to implement the SRM Central Contract Management scenario in SRM701 and ECC 604 using XI/PI and we are finding that the XML message is getting generated OK, passed through XI/PI OK and is successfully processed in ECC, however, no backend contract is created. The SRM number range against the ECC contract document is incrementing every time we send a message but no data is getting committed to the tables. I have seen a few threads on here with others having experienced a similar problem, however, I can't anywhere see what the resolution was.
We are pretty sure all the config is correct as we have tried changing the entry in BBP_BACKEND_DEST for SYS_TYPE to ERP_2.0 and passed the data successfully via RFC and IDOC, but we are not having any success when the SYS_TYPE is ERP_4.0 and using XI.
Please can anyone out there help?!
Thanks a lot...

Hi prashant
I never tried service . but you can see this below symptom for you.I extensively worked on Material contracts.
Are you creating contract from Process contract or Via RFQ
Note 1272305 - Total value wrongly calculated in Contract Service lines
Symptom
We create a Service contract in the R/3 Backend from RFQ. During the transfer we calculate the gross price based on the quantity,price and price unit. (ie) The field ESLL-BRTWR is filled with following formula in the idoc processing. ls_e1edc20-BRTWR
= ( is_item-price * is_item-quantity ) / is_item-price_unit.
AS total value of the service lines is calculated based on the field NETWR which is passed as blank from SRM, during recalculation total value when we change the gross price of one of the service lines in r/3, it is required to fill this field
till PI values are brought correctly till posting to ECC. ?
Note 1123292 - Net Price wrongly calculated in plug-in MAP_BLAORD_SERVICES
my experience in GOA
Note:-
2 set stream of DATA comes from SRM as BLOARD and COND_A ..
Even some times when we reprocess failed IDOCS in BD87 in ECC ( comes contract data from SRM as GOA and failed due to some data validation in ECC). now data issue was fixed at Material master level. and
if we forget to reprocess COND_A - BLOARD creates a successfull GOA but net price shows as ZERO for each material and when you post the COND_A data and correct price will be updated in ECC contract. so kindly check price data reaches or not not or price calculation failed in ECC.

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.

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.

Central contract notification e-mail

Hello experts,
I'm trying to implement the e-mail notification when an SRM central contract is getting closer to the date when it will expire.
I've setup the Define Event Schema with all four options available there:
1. EXTERNAL
2. NOTIFIC
3. OUTPUT
4. TASK
After this I've run the program BBP_CONTRACT_CHECK and the output of this program is:
Contract
Message
Message type
4600000004
Contract expires in 8 days
EXTERNAL
4600000004
Contract expires in 8 days
NOTIFIC
4600000004
Contract expires in 8 days
NOTIFIC
4600000004
Contract expires in 8 days
OUTPUT
4600000004
Contract expires in 8 days
TASK
My problem now is that there is no e-mail in SOST and nothing get sent to any of the users.
I've checked the users and they all have the e-mail address maintained both in BP and in SU01.
I think I'm missing one configuration step on this one.
What do you think?

We upgraded to a different build, and now this problem is fixed!

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.

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,

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
