SRM Contract management personalization

Dear SRM Gurus,
We are currently implementing the CM for SRM 7.0 in standalone scenario.
Here I got two questions about the personalization:
1. How is it possible to remove the catalog links in the "add item" button dropdown menu? In the Dynpro for this button there are no catalog mentioned, just the Product category and Normal Item type. So I guess the catalog menu is added somewhere else.
2. Is it possible to customize the content of the "send email" possibility when viewing an submited contract?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Michal

Hi,
1. As for the "add item" button we need to remove the catalog links, not the Product category item type and for contract, not the SC.
yes , you can remove the catalog link
2. Could you please provide the IMG Path where the Email content can be modified?
This is the Std Content .check with your technical team (or) workflow person .There will be a std template
Dear Sir/Madam,
A new Purchasing Contract has been negotiated between our company and test2. You can find a link to the Purchasing
Contract below.
Kind regards,

SRM - Contract management - product category - SRM 5.0

Hello,
The product category was set as mandatory field in the contract management.
By creating a contract or modifying an existing one, a product category must be selected.
When I'm connected in English, i can use product category search function, and all the product category are populated.
I'm so able to select a product category in the contract
But when I'm connected in French, it is impossible to use the search function because no values are populated.
I already check the transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, but English and French are already set.
Thank you for help.

1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC.

SRM Contract Management

Dear All,
Few clarification on SRM contracts pls:
SRM 5.0:
In SRM 5.0 we can create Local contract and GOA.Local can be used only in SRM and cannot be distributed to backend system.GOA can be distributed as contracts or scheduling agreements to backend.Pls correct me if am wrong.
Also how system decides whether GOA will be distributed as contracts or scheduling agreement.
Also, in SRM 5.0 can we directly create a contract in backend system from the bidding engine.
SRM 7.0:
GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
Thanks,
Venky

SRM-Contract Management-Switching off Warning Message

Hello Experts,
We would like switch it off message " contract can not be used : Target value XXXX exceeds contract value XXXX"
I have noticed this message is triggering from BBP_PD 560 and 561. I have switched off in maintaince view BBPV_PDMSG and as well as message control in SPRO but still I am getting warning message during PO creation.
We don't want to get warning message during PO creation even though contract value exceeded.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your quick resopnse. I had tried as per your suggestion.
Based on the message which I am getting and find that this message is trigeering from bbp_pd 560 and 561. Can you please confirm whether it is triggering from there or any different message.
Thanks
Ravi

Benefits SRM contracts compared to MM contracts

Hello,
As I'm pretty new in the SAP world (just passed my EBP 5.0 certifcation), I hope someone can help me with the following:
What are the benefits and differences of SRM contract management compared to contract management in MM?
Many thanks!
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
EBP contracts are used extensively in the sourcing application. When price determination comes into picture, these are selected first. This can also be used during requesting temp labor. All the MM function are available, release orders can be created. Release doc is saved. One imp thing is, you have a chance to work with version controls that can also be linked to workflow and can also be compared at any time to find the status.
Alert events can be triggered from BW via workflow..
Also you have a chance to work with GOA.
Any many more...
Let me know if you need more info..
BTW MM sourcing is very limited. Very difficult to trace the overrun.

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management

We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very much

Hi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

SRM Contract alert management Workflow - WS10400022 Agents determination

Hi Experts,
I am trying to implement Alert management for SRM Contracts that are expired/ or the threshold is exceeded.
All the necessary configs are done and the event linkage is also done for the workflow Template WS10400022.
The task used in this workflow TS10407926, for agent determination, used the expression &Agents_0001.Agents&
This container value is neither passed from the event linkage binding.
Can anyone explain how this agent determination is done for this workflow?
Your replies are very much appreciated
Cheers,
Prem.

Hello,
OK, i did not see the event linkage between event and workflow...
Currently, &Agents_0001.Agents& is not populated with data coming from the event:
Event is managed by BBP_EV_API_EVENTS_SAVE function modul, and inside this FM by CL_BBP_EVENTS class.
Maybe you should open an OSS message and check all OSS notes dealing with BBP_CONTRACT_CHECK report.
Regards.
Laurent.

SRM 7 - Centralised Contract Management SAP XI inbound/outbound interfaces

Hi there,
We are busy implementing SRM 7 and I would like to get "centralised contract management" working between SRM 7 and the ECC backend/s (via SAP PI).
Could you please let me know what the correct SAP PI CONTENT to load is? And what the correct service interfaces I need to use for this scenario as well as what "software component version" and "namespace" I can find them in?
Any guide on the details of this specific scenario?
Thanks for the help, much appreciated

Setup Central Contract Management SRM 7.01 with differing release versions

Hello experts,
OSS note 1268821 explains how to configure the central contract management between a SRM 7.0 and an ERP 6.04. So far so good, but how should it be handled if there are differing release versions such as ERP 6.04 and ERP 6.03? I guess that a technical split (xml services/ ALE distribution) is necessary?
Assuming that there are some backends with differing release versions and in some cases with differing master data (not supported by central master data client) would you always go via PI? Independent of release version, technology and master data.
Could you give some further detailed informations how to configure such a scenario? What has to be done to transfer existing contracts from an ERP 6.04 into SRM CM component (migration concept)?
Thanks!!!
KR Thorsten

Hi Thorsten
The minimal ECC version is 6.0 EHP4, Central Contracts require certain business functions in ECC to be activated and as these are included within ECC EHP4 you won't have these available in lower version. Therefore you won't be able to operate central contracts in such an ECC system.
You would either have to go with patching these systems or go with GOA's for these systems.
Operating central contracts via PI or SOA i believe provide almost similar functionality. SOA however requires an SRM EHP1 system and ECC EHP5 back-end to operate whilst central contracts configured via PI can be operated onwards from an SRM 7.0 and EHP4 system.
I can't help you on your migration issue, maybe someone else can.
Kind regards,
Tim

SRM 7.0 / ERP 6.04: Config. of Central Contract Management

Hello,
I want to configure the newly introduced integrated Procure-to-Pay Scenario Central Contract Management.
I found SAP Note number 1268821 where all tasks are described in order to implement the previous scenario.
For correct implementation, business function "Purchasing - SAP SRM Integration" (LOG_MM_P2PSE_1) activation is required in the ERP Systems.
When I run SFW5 t-code in order to activate the previous business function, SAP system gives an alert message.
What are the consequences of this business function activation ??
Thank you
Michele

Hi Michele,
I don't think there will be any consequences, we had certain warning messages aswell when we activated the business functions in ECC 6. Reading the warning messages we could conclude it wasn't any serious problem.
Details on functionalities included in a business function can be viewed here: [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04_sp/helpdata/en/42/fbded750e61febe10000000a422035/frameset.htm] -> Business Functions (SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0) -> Business Functions in SAP ERP -> Logistics -> Materials Management -> Procurement - SRM Integration

ERP release for Central Contract Management with SRM 7.0 EhP 1

Hi all,
i would like to have clarification with ERP and SRM release combinations regarding SRM 7.0 EhP1.
Indeed, the "Software Component Matrix for SAP SRM 7.0 EHP1", for Operational Contract Management, tells 'EHP 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 required'.
Moreover, in RKT dealing with SRM EhP1 delta overview, ERP 6.0 with EhP5 is mandatory for an upgrade to SRM7.01.
Nevertheless, i would like to have confirmation regarding this point.
We do not want to use PI to execute the Enterprise Services for CCM. So, we intend to switch BF SRM_WSRM_1 on.
But on the ERP side (EhP5), the only BF dealing with Contract Management is LOG_MM_P2PSE_2 which description is about Service Procurement (and more exactly for item hierarchies).
Does it mean we can use SRM 7.01 with ERP 6.0 EhP4 and without PI but only if we do not use Central Contracts with service hierarchies ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hi Laurent,
Yes.
When Central contract was designed in SRM 7.0 with ERP EhP4, it was designed with no service hierarchy. But in SRM 7.01 Central contral was enhanced to handle service hierarchy and it works with ERP EhP5. The problem is when we have SRM 7.01 and ERP EhP4. To handle this complication SRM 7.01 was designed to send flat service lines to EhP4 and lower release even though Central contract in SRM has service hierarchy. So while transfering to ERP EhP4 system in standard, all outlines are not consider for transfer and only service lines (Functional items) are transferred to ERP. To do so user needs to maintain the backend destination information of the connected backend system in table BBP_BACKEND_DEST via SM30 transaction with correct system type (for EhP4 system it will be ERP_4.0 and for EhP5 ERP_5.0). SAP Standard program checks this while XML generation for transfer and if system type is ERP_4.0 system it removes all outlines from temp table before generating the XML data. When it is done, ERP has only service lines in its XML and it does the manupulation to create the replication of central contract.
Master Guide (Including Upgrade Information) - SAP SRM 7.01 states:
"The use of SAP NetWeaver PI is optional but it is required for outbound XML-based messaging or for connecting non-SAP planning or execution systems."
So service hierarchy is possible in SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 but only with PI. For other CCM functionalities, SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.04 without PI works fine.

Christian Zeuch

SRM addon with Contract Management

SRM Gurus,
We are in the verge of installing SAP SRM system. Our main focus will be on :
1. SSP
2. Contract Management
3. Catalog Management
Please clarify what are the pros and cons of using SRM as ADD-on or SRM as seperate instrance.
If we can use contract management with SRM addon as a leading contract system without creating them in ECC6.0
Kaushik

The SRM AddOn is targeting on customers that are aiming on a simple procurement scenario, do not yet use mySAP SRM, are using only one Backend (ECC) system and aim to install SRM with a low TCO.
The following scenarios are released within the SRM AddOn:
Service Procurement (local deployment)
Self-Service Procurement (classic deployment)
SUS in connection with both scenarios mentioned above
Catalog Content Management
This also includes:
operational usage of contracts (e.g. for the assignment of sources of supply)
RFP - as far as known from the Temporary Labor scenario
Please be aware that the following deployment and migration constraints apply:
ERP 2005 with SRM as an add-on does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement
Upgrade or migration from an existing SRM system to ERP 2005 with SRM as an add-on is not supported.
SAP does not offer migration paths from an SRM AddOn deployment to a deployment with a standalone SRM system.
The extended classic deployment is not supported.
The SRM as an add-on is only supported in the release combination ERP 6.0 and SRM 5.0. Other release combinations are not supported. Also future SRM releases will not run as an add-on on ERP 6.0

Price and condition in Contract management SRM 7 version

Dear supporters,
We work SRM server 550,
We use the contract management.
In SRM 5 SEREVER 550 if you use condition in contract item the price donu2019t present in the lines items and the system present the words "see conditions".
We consider the upgrading to SRM 7 end we need to know if in this VER' the Contracts present the item price when you using condition in item line.
Thanks
Isiaki

Hi
the price has more than one prices and you have to click see conditions and see
orSRM tables;-
1)       Take the GUID from CRMD_ORDERADM_I table
2)       And input that GUID to /1CN/CBPSAP016 table
ECC tables: -
1)       A016 (Input GOA number and item number)
2)       You will get KNUMH numbers
3)       Enter KNUMH numbers in KONP table
4)       You wil get all the pricing condition details

SRM one client Contract Management

Dear Experts,
Can we create contracts in SRM one client and distribute them to our ECC system.
Because I seached on service marketplace and no where its mentioned that Contract mangement is possible in SRM one client.
Sourcing is possible that I have checked the functionality. Please reply
Thanks
Ankit Jain

Hi Ivy,
Yes Correct nothing mentioned in the configuration guide or any other document.
But I checked System nodes no where I found that contract management is possible in SRM one client.
Also Note 963000 doesn't say anything about it.
Below link also says its not possible so I am confused even Roles doesn't have Contract Menu

Using SRM for carrier and freight forwarder contract management

Hi,
Does it make sense to use SRM to manage contracts from carriers and freight forwarder? Has anybody done that? The documentation I read makes me think SRM is oriented towards manufacturers.
Do you recommend any other solution for this situation?
Any comments are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Prakash,
