SRM Contract Upload in CCM

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 with CCM 2.0 We have configured XI for uploading the product master data and contract upload using the Intergration scenarios MasterDataInclusion and UploadContract.
When we run the report bbp_ccm_transfer_catalog, the report executes successfully and also in SXMB_moni, it says the message has been processed succesfully, but when we check in CCM, there is no SRM Product catalog created.
also when we create a contract in SRM, and release it, the same is not getting uploaded in CCM. We have checked the option "Distribute to Catalog" while creating the contract and all relevant configurations are also done and working fine. In this also, it is showing that the message has been processed successfully, but no contract is there in CCM.
Please help,
Regards,
Puneet

Puneet,
Hi. I am responing re the product transfer....
With the transaction SXMB_moni - did you run this in SRM or XI. When you transfer the products this calls in XI, and XI calls back to CCM. I found that although our products transfered correctly to XI (SXMB_MONI was correct in SRM) our data didn't call back to CCM correctly (SXMB_MONI failed in XI) due to a locked user id/password error.
Cheers

SRM contract upload and price tolerance during upload/simulation

Hi
have anyone made/is it possible to create a tolerance to SRM GOA upload.
So, during upload there is simulation and messages after upload, so, I guess
it is possible to create tolerance (using badi?) that if price is fx. 10% more than old price, then item would not be loaded.
This would be very useful when dealing with several thousand lines contracts.
Manual check would be very difficult ?
I guess there is badi( at least where this kind of functionality could be implemented. At least during upload there is lot of check possibilities

No entry was generated in Master catalog after contract upload by PI...

We use CCM 2.0 as percurment catalog in SRM 7.0 server.
1.I finish the basic configuration and tranfer the product catalog to the CCM.
2.Then I do the mapping of product cat to master cat.
3.I finished the PI scenarios for upload contract.
4.When I publish a contract in the potral, I check the PI monitor is fine.
5.I check the CCM log more,but there is a warning message 'No original catalog item found for contract catalog item 1'.
6.The contract upload successfully and it occurs in the ccm cataloags.
7.The log showed that
19.09.2010 16:09:01 (CET): Starting mapping
19.09.2010 16:09:01 (CET): Starting mapping analysis for catalog 4400000049 -> /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG
19.09.2010 16:09:04 (CET): Mapping completed for catalog /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG
19.09.2010 16:09:04 (CET): Mapping completed for catalog 4400000049
But unfortunately,there is no entry in the master catalog for this contract.
Could you give me some suggestion?
Much appreciated~~~

Looks like the catalog was unable to be enriched from existing data - does this contract item exist in the SRM product catalog or a supplier catalog for enrichment to take place?

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

SRM Contract Catalog - Creation

Hi,
I am working with a customer on SRM 5.5 /CCM 2.0.
We need to have product and contract catalogs in our system.
1) Do we necessarily need to have CCM on another client?
2) We have initialized CCM with the /ccm/ccm_initialize report. After we run the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG report SRM Product Catalog gets created. How does the SRM Contract catalog get created? Is there a separate report for that?
4) Do we necessarily need XI for my scenario?
Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated. [and rewarded, ofcourse :-)]
Thanks and Regards,
Waheed

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Couple of associated queries.
1) XI configured and the business scenario MasterDataInclusion set up.
Yes, it is set up for us.
2)A logical system entry for CCM defined as a backend system with type Cataloge.
We have CCM on the same client as the SRM EBP. So, we have already defined this client logical system as Local B2B. I cannot define the same logical system again as type CATALOG. So, should I create a dummy entry for this CCM backend system.. without any client assignment that is?
3)We dont have a supplier catalogue scenario. Only Product & Contract Catalogues.
When I executed the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG first time a SRM Product Catalog got created. Is the contract catalogue expected to be created then itslef?
Because, after we release our contracts there is no contract creation/updation happening in the CCM. Is the contract catalogue expectd to be created the first time we release any catalogue with the tick on?
Everytime we release a conract an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message
"Recepient not found.
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 70D3DB446F7CEC36E10000000A0000E8 and object_id= 5000000213" [5000000213 is our contract number"
Is this relevant to my problem? What is the issue here?
Thanks a lot again for your patience.

Waheed

SRM Contract Catalog - Creation without XI - is that possible?

Hi,
I am working with a customer on SRM 4.0 / CCM 2.0 / Business Connector 4.7 ( standalone scenario ).
We need to have contract catalogs in our system.
So I read the post from Waheed Mohammad with similar request, but the different is, that I don´t have XI and I do not know what the business scenario "MasterDataInclusion" is
Does anybody know, if SRM Contract Catalog Creation works with Business Connector 4.7 too?!
And what settings have to be done?!
Would be glad, if someone could give me a hint.
Thanks and Regards,
J.H.

Hello Jason,
thanks, I suspect it !
Do you know if it is possible with Business Connector 4.7 ?!

SRM Contracts

Is there any table(s) from which I can download the contracts?
I use the Download Contract button to download to Excel but the Unit of Measurement (field between Product Type and Price in Item Data) is missing during downloads using the single contract download or bulk download. I checkup the notes but none of them pertain to this problem.
Is there any workaround to accomplish this hence the question about can I directly access and table and download.
We are on SRM 5.0.
Thanks

Hi
Please go through these pointers and links as well.
Refer to Function module - BBP_PD_CTR_CREATE / BBP_PD_CTR_CHANGE
Tcode BBP_PD is a wealth of knowledge. you need to select proper object type from the drop down and enter the relevant Object number and execute.On the next screen in the details double click on each separate node and it will take you to table and display the records, There are vaiorus object type like Shopping cart, PO Contract, Bid etc.

Mapping Contract items to CCM Master Catalog

We have created a contract catalog in CCM which creates a two level schema, the top level being identified by the contract number, the sub level being contract_catalog_classification_schema. The one material item in the catalog is attached to the top level of the schema(the contract number). We cannot map this to our schema in the ccm master catalog, the assign category button is alway greyed out. Not sure what we are doing wrong and pretty new at this, can someone help out???
Thanks

Hi Serguei,
Do I need to map the contract Catalog and Master Catalog explicitly?? SAP documentation on this says:
"When you transfer a contract to SAP Catalog Content Management, the system compares the items in the contract with supplier catalogs and SRM product catalogs that already exist in SAP Catalog Authoring Tool. If an item in the contract is the same as an item in an existing supplier catalog or SRM product catalog, SAP Catalog Contract Management automatically:
1) Copies the additional values available in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog to the contract catalog
2) Maps the contract information for the item to the master catalog, if the corresponding item in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog has been assigned for mapping.
So, the mapping has to happen automatically.. isn't it?
Regards,
Waheed.

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.
Prerequisites
You are assigned to one of the roles in the following table:
Roles Role Name
Portal Role

SAP_EC_BBP_ADMINISTRATOR
Activities
In the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) system, choose Central Contract Management Change Suppliers in Contracts (transaction BBP_CTR_01).
Enter the number of the old supplier, the number of the new supplier, and other required data, and choose Execute.
The system displays all contracts with the number of the old supplier.
Select the contracts in which you want to replace the number of the old supplier with the number of the new supplier.
Note
If you want to simulate the changes, be sure to select Test Run.

Contracts distributed to CCM

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions regarding contracts. I have created a contract in SRM 4.0 via sourcing. The item in the contract comes from a CCM 2.0 catalog. I have distributed this contract back to the catalog.
1. Should this then create a second item in the catalog ie. one is the original catalog item, the other item is from the contract catalog? At the moment it's creating a second line item of the same product but I just want to double check that this is meant to happen as I read somewhere that it shouldn't.
2. For some reason if I then try to add the contract catalog item into my shopping cart, I receive an error saying "Enter responsible employee". Has anyone come across this error and have a fix for it?
Thanks very much for your help.
Paula.

Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever distributed SRM contracts to CCM? I'd like to know how it's meant to work...
Thanks,
Paula.

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

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 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.

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

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.
