SRM contract Status change

Hi ,
Can any one help me out to change the status of a contract.
I was contracted a contract  using ppb_pd_ctr_create. I want to change the status of the contract to close or delete.. is there any function module available to do the same?
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh basavaraj.

what is the behaviour of contracts in SRM in general.
Q1.- I create a GOA document in SRM, it is distribute to backend system (R/3). In this moment, which is the status of GOA in SRM?
A1 :-RELEASED
2.- Is necessary to activate workflow process to release GOA automatically and then distribute to backend?
A2:- Upon business requirement. Yes every business need approval since BUYERS decision are not final
Q2aWhen the contract is on backend system and I change some parameters in the backend, is there some process to update the status or the parameters in GOA document in SRM? Is there some communication between the systems in this moment?
A2A :- No . you should not change any value in ME32K . no business allows this. you must speak to basis and pull everyone access to edit Purchasing contract. All edit/ massage / change happen only in GOA . evry changes in GOA versions will be created and distributed to backend sytem every time.
3.- I want to activate a non standard workflow process in backend system (R/3) for contracts distributed. How can I do that when backend contract is released then GOA contract in SRM change the status?
you can do mostly busineess needs approval on GOA approval.
RELEASED -status in SRM for good distributed GOA.

  • Contract Mass change enhancement in SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts,
    We are using SRM 7.0 & implementing new Contract mass change functionality for header P.Org. & P. Group data. I have created a Web Dynpro Component (with View similar to /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_AO_CT_MC_D), & implemeted a BADI /SAPSRM/CTR_MC_BADI & added an entry in Table BBPV_CTR_MASSOP.
    After selecting the change method i am getting the error "View O_V_PURCH does not exist in the component YWDC_UI_AO_CTR". Actually, O_V_PURCH is an outbound plug of the WEb Dynpro Component. I am not sure why this eror is coming.
    Could you please help me out in this. That will be a great help.
    FYI - I am using Operational Contract Configuration document as reference.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Vishnu

    Hi Azad,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked that the outbound plug is linked to the Window correctly. I do not understand why the plug is considered as a view.(as per the error message"
    Thanks & Best Regards,

  • Change vendor in SRM contract.

    Dear All,
         I have a general query related to SRM contracts.  Once the SRM contract is created and released.  Will I be now able
    to change the vendor if so what is the impact.  When I go into the contract in change mode it anyway do not let us change the vendor.  So what is the best followed practice is such a case.  Or is it better just to delete the contract and create a new contract with the required vendor ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    yes. Jay i s correct .best is to create  a new CONTRACT.
    Jay suggested is good. CLOSE the existing GOA and create a New contract .
    fyi ..
    but one concept is available in SRM. Changing Suppliers in Central Contracts
    NOVATIONYou can transfer some or all central contracts and purchase orders from one supplier to another in the case of a merger or buyout. This is known as novation. In addition to changing the number of a supplier in a contract, you can define a new validity period for the contract. The system recalculates the validity period for the old supplier.
    Note
    You can also use this function to search for central contracts with a particular supplier.
    End of the note.

  • SRM contract in awaiting approval state

    Hi Gurus,
    We are facing an issue where srm contract is approved via a n step badi workflow. But even after completion of workflow the document remains in awaiting approval state.
    The step which sets the document status to released status is called in background step in workflow.
    If we examine the workflow logs they indicate the successful execution of this release step without any error.
    However document is not released.
    On further investigation we found that if the business partners who are present in active version and who have got expired at the time of creation of change version causes this to happnen.
    Presently we have a workaround by which we replace the expired business partner with a new business partner in active version and then release the change version.
    However to develop a permanent fix we are not able to replicate this scenario in our system.
    Kindly provide your guidance on this issue.
    Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit
    you have a root cause of this problem
    On further investigation we found that if the business partners who are present in active version and who have got expired at the time of creation of change version causes this to happnen.
    for testing purpose you can delete this test user or ask basis person to inactivate this user .
    1. create a GOA by test user19 buyer1)
    2. Approve a GOA by test manager1
    3. now delete user1 or inactivate the user1 id BY CHANGING THE VALIDIDTY DATE OF THE USER .
    4. revise the GOA by user2 (buyer2) and approve it . will you recreate the same /
    RELEASED AT TOP BUT CHANGE VERSION AWAITING FOR APPROVAL IN THE APPROVAL PREVIEW.
    if your analysis is true. it is your wonderful investigation.

  • What are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?

    Hi friends
    what are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?
    Regards
    Raj Kumar

    Process Flow
    The mass change process consists of four steps. You navigate between these steps by choosing the Next and Back buttons located at the bottom right-hand corner of the screens.
           1.      Search for contracts
    You search for and select the contracts or the contract hierarchy that you want to change.
    Contracts that have the status Closed cannot be changed.
           2.      Define mass changes
    You specify the changes you want to make.
    You make changes at header data level and at item data level by choosing the relevant change methods. A green tick appears next to each change parameter so that you can see where changes are already active.
    Once you enter this step, the documents you have selected to be changed are locked so that other users cannot make changes to them until you are finished with this process.
           3.      Simulate mass changes
    Here you can perform a trial run of your mass changes. This simulation step is optional.
    We recommend that you perform this step so that you can check how the change methods you have chosen will be processed by the system.
    You receive status messages about the change methods for each contract and can quickly see whether any errors arise in connection with the proposed changes at this stage. From this step, it is easier for you to go back and correct the error than after applying the changes.
    Background processing
    The system processes the changes in the background.
    If there are a large number of contracts to be processed, this step could take some time to complete. In this case, you can leave the transaction so that you can, for example, carry out other tasks in the meantime.
    The system sends you an e-mail once the simulation step is complete. The e-mail contains a link to the relevant screen in the application so that you can return to it when it is convenient for you to do so. If you have left the SRM application, you can only return via this link.
    Here you can see the status of the changes and, if necessary, you can correct any errors by going back to the Define mass changes step.
    The messages that you receive in the simulation step are not confirmation that a change has been performed. They simulate the messages you get after you apply the changes. You must complete the final step of the mass change process and apply the changes before they take effect.
           4.      Carry out mass changes
    Here you apply the changes to the contracts.
    You cannot reverse this step, which is why we advise you to perform the simulation step beforehand.

  • Two load errors for a standard SRM Contract ODS

    We've just installed standard business content for SRM Contract ODS.  The standard InfoSource we installed is 0BBP_TD_CONTR_1.   Two loading errors occur:
    1st error:
    No return value <> 0 allowed in update routines in transfer mode     
    Diagnosis
    The return code was set to <> 0 in routine 'r0063_0SR_TARGVDC ', but the corresponding data field is updated with MOVE. You therefore can not prevent the update of a single data field for certain key values.
    System Response
    The load process is terminated.
    Procedure
    When you update with MOVE, you do not have to update all the data records. In this case you should use a start routine in the update rules in which you delete the data records that you do not want to update from    table DATA_PACKAGE. Set the return code for all routines affecting a data field that is updated with MOVE to 0 (also the corresponding key field routines).
    Procedure for System Administration
    2nd error:
    Error converting currency to standard currency (see long text!)     RSBCTBBP     
    Diagnosis
    Record number 1 : Error during currency conversion to standard currency.
    The currency JPY of field 0OUTAGTARGT could not be determined.
    Procedure
        Possible causes are listed below:
        - Could not find currency tables RSCURTRT or TCURR
        - Could not determine conversion date
        - Could not find an exchange rate for currency JPY in table TCURR
        Check the erroneous data record, currency unit, and date.If all data is
        available, check whether the standard currency was created correctly.
    You can change it in transaction <rscur> by changing the settings for InfoObject 0SR_DEFCUR.
    Furthermore, the global settings must be transferred from the source system in order to get the currency keys of the currencies (maintained for currency JPY in table TCURR). Use transaction <rsa1> to transfer the global settings. Select 'Source Systems' and choose the entry 'Transfer Global Settings' for the respective source system.
    Note: we've transfer the global settings at currency from our SRM source system already, but we still get the same error msgs.
    Any idea/solution?
    Thanks

    Hello All,
    As I have already mentioned the condition types in SRM are identically matched to ERP condition type hence the data is flowing correctly and even the idoc has the z-condition type Z123.The IDOC in backend ERP has status 53.
    On trial and error method we did unchecked the manual indicator check in the pricing schema for the relevant condition type and because of that now the Z-condiiton type can be seen in the backend ERP contract.
    If the indicator was checked, this means that this condition can be maintained only manually (directly in the transaction
    ME32K in ECC) and nothing can be transfer from other source.
    Note: If the same condition type is being used in more than one pricing procedure then ensure that the check bok is unchecked for agianst the relevant condition type.
    Thanks,
    Yatin

  • Updating SRM contracts from R/3 to SRM....

    Hi all,
    I am working in SRM, my requirement is to update the SRM contracts from R/3 to SRM and if any changes happen in R/3 contracts (previously updated contracts to SRM) then it should replicate those changes in SRM contracts also.
    I found the program BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD (This program can be used to upload contracts from ERP to SRM. A separate contract in SRM would be created for each successfully transferred ERP contract.)
    My question is, so if any changes happen in R/3 contracts it should update SRM contracts also.
    Please let me know the solution how to solve this?
    Highly appreciated any kind of help..
    Thanks
    Rajesh.

    Hi Rajesh,
    I think that your scenario is very risky as there is no master system for contract : one time it is srm and after it can be r/3 !
    Besides this comment, you can search the forum and find some threads for contract replication in both ways (but no activated in the same time...)
    Kind regards,
    Yann

  • A question about Droid pre-order and contract status

    Hi,
    I preorded the droid from best buy the first day preorders were available. The person who handled my order didn't mention problems with my current contract status. My 2yr contract isn't up till 4/2010, and from reading here, it seems that best buy doesn't do the 1yr early upgrades.
    So when I go down to best buy on friday to attempt to pick up my phone what are gonna be my options?
    $599 retail price, or nothing? And so, will they refund my $50?
    Would they do the 1yr and $369 price, if they consider I put in over one year on my current contract and consider it a $1yr? (I read someone say this would be an option)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Who does best buy sell phones to if they don't offer upgrades? Just new customers and people with expired accounts?
    Can someone explain this post to me? http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=13177342&postcount=32
    According to the guy that posted that, he was orginally denied, like has been said here. but then the looked it up and told him they'd honor the 1yr early upgrade.
    To me, it just doesn't make much sense to not honor what verizon does.. cause you'd be losing lots of business. Anyone who is up for NE2, and denied honoring it by BB will just go to the verizon store, or order it online via verizons website. Anyone 1 year into their 2 year contract who is denied the 1yr early upgrade that verizon offers, and who doesn't care much about waiting for their $100-$50 NE2 discount will again be forced to buy elsewhere cause BB turns them away.
    I'm not trying to make threats that BB needs to change. Just trying to draw attention to something that makes no sense to lots of customers. And would like someone to actually look into this again, since it seems to vary from store to store, clerk to clerk.

  • 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.

  • SAP SRM Contracts Vs SAP CLM Contract

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can you guys please tell me the difference between SAP SRM Contracts and SAP CLM Contracts.
    In which factors SAP CLM serves better than SAP SRM??
    Why SAP CLM came into existence when we have SRM Contracts? What are the draw back and what is not achieved with SRM Contracts?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hello Sanjay
    There are many differences, SAP CLM Contract run in Sourcing and SAP SRM Contracts run in SRM.
    Advantages CLM Contracts:
    - Establish a contract as a result of a project
    - build the draft agreement from a template
    -   - Create your own folder structure to organize your contract attachments
        - Transfer quickly attachments between the different folders
    -   - Download easily multiple attachments with a single click
    - Administrator can create new customer fields (extensions) and customer tables (extension collections) for all      master agreements or specific master agreements
         - New customer fields are immediately available in the UI and as a search parameters 
          - All is done via configuration, therefore no upgrade issues
         - Generation of contract document out of master agreement
         - Template Library with approved legal contract templates for quick contract generation
         -  Possibility to provide end user with flexibility to modify the provided content from the template during contract creation
          - Adjust contract by adding or removing of clauses and sections to the content provided by the selected contract template
          - Multiple content options (alternative clause content) available to provide end user with controlled flexibility
          - Automated transfer of master agreement meta data into generated contact document
          - Creation and transfer of line item table into contract document
    -     - Creation of a unique barcode on the contract header
          - Contract negotiation with clause changes in MS Word are tracked in the contract repository
          - Change of meta data like Agreement Effective Date in MS Word possible and transfer back to master agreement in repository
          - etc
    The are the possibility to integrate CLM contract to SRM Contracts

  • Contract status expired instead of awaiting approval

    Hi Experts,
    We are getting contract status "Expired" instead of Awaiting Approval. After contract is approved, we get correct status "Released". Please advise what could be the cause.
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hello,
    Actually, system behaves in the following way:
    - A shopping cart is created and goes to approval;
    - Approver rejects the cart and the workitem is send back to requester inbox in order to accept the rejection or change the cart and resubmit it to approbation;
    - If requester checks the cart (Inbox or BBPSC04), its header status will be "In your inbox";
    - If someone (administrator, for example), checks the cart via BBP_MON_SC transaction (Monitor Shopping Cart) before the requester acceptance/changes, the shopping cart status will be "Awaiting approval", since the cart is still in approbation process.
    I hope this information helps.
    Kind regards,
