ECC 6.0 AP vs SRM Invoice processing

My client has implemented SRM on it's own instance and is in the process of implementing ECC 6.3 on it's own instance. The question being debated is where to house SRM's Invoice Processing.
My recommendation is to keep all financial process in the ECC instance. Does anyone know if there is an SAP recommendation for this scenario?

The choice depends on your scenarios/requirements - classic, extended, or decoupled. It makes no difference in FI module, the payment cycle will be the same. If invoice is entered in SRM, data is passed to ECC via BADI/BAPI's.
The pro's and cons are available in SAP SRM documentation and SAP Press book 'The Consultant´s Guide to SAP SRM'.

SRM Item Categories for Consignment, S/Contracting and STO

Hello All
We have a requirement centralize the bulk of procurement activities from ERP to SRM, but this includes making provision for Sub-Contracting, Consignment Stock and Stock Transfer Orders.
The thing is that requisitions with the Item Categories 'K', 'L' and 'U' are not made available to SRM (EBAN-EPROFILE remains blank).
Has anybody out there had a requirement for these types of procurement to be handled in SRM and, if so, what approach was followed?
Thanks for any input
Regards
Dave

Hi Dave
SAP dont support this functionality since there is no inventory stuffs handled by SRM
Only you can try enhancement but SAP will not support this functionlity if you implemented this.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/Documentation-BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW-CreatePOin+backend
from thread extracted
In MAP_ITEMS (LBBP_PDMAPF01) you can find this coding:
LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third.
In your case, we enter this coding with the following:
i_be_items[1]-item_cat = 7 -> Stock Transfer
I would suggest that you try a modification here:
LOOP AT i_be_items WHERE ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_mat OR
ITEM_CAT EQ c_item_cat_third OR
ITEM_CAT EQ 7. " Modification for Stock Transfer
if you want to create a STO w.r.t Shoping cart for a stock materials, you can do it by enhancement in classic scenario.

BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW

Hello,
I have a problem in order to implement this Badi : BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW
IF_EX_BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW~FILL_RQ_INTERFACE,
I must value fields custom on the eban from SRM.
someone has an example ??

Hi
Please see some sample pieces on BADI's
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/srm/documentation and go to sample BADI's
Using Business Add-In BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW you can change all the data that is transferred to the backend system for generation of a requirement. This includes, for example, item data, account assignment data, and texts. You can access all the shopping cart data in the method FILL_RQ_INTERFACE for generation of the backend reservation via the BAPI BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE.

Purchase Requisition in Backend System
Using Business Add-In BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW you can change all the data that is transferred to the backend system for generation of a requirement. This includes, for example, item data, account assignment data, and texts. You can access all the shopping cart data in the method FILL_RQ_INTERFACEfor generation of the backend reservation via the BAPI BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE.
Standard settings
The settings for this BAdI override those of BAdI Grouping of Shopping Cart Items for Follow-on Documents (BBP_BS_GROUP_BE). BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW is called up following call-up of BBP_BS_GROUP_BE and shortly before the documents are created in the backend.
Recommendation
If you use BAdI Group Shopping Cart Items to Follow-on Documents in order to determine number ranges, assign numbers, or to group requirements, SAP recommends that you do not overwrite this data with BBP_BS_GROUP_BE.

SRM Beginner documentation & demo progam

Hello,
I am new to SRM and require as much information as as I can possible get. Is it possible to email me some documentation I can read through?
Are there any sides for Demo Version on the Internet available to get an idea about the program?
I basically need to understand the advantages/ disadvantages to other esourcing programs (for example Ariba).
Many thanks in advance.
Atanod
My email ad is [email protected]

Hi,
As far as I know about ARIBA SRM it's for E procurement and reverse auction functionality.
But SAP SRM is basically enhancement of SAP mjaterials management. It offers diff business scenarios viz.
1. Self service procurement- self procurement of low cost items by employees reliving purchasers for more imp works.
2. Service procurement - Scenario specialized for services.
3. Plan driven procurement - scenario where external demands can be worked in EBP sourcing or PO/SA can be sent to suppliers and they can confirm.
4. Strategic Sourcing - New suppliers can be registered. Bidding can be done with suppliers. Live auction is possible.
5. Catalog content management - Suppliers catalogs can be uploaded and managed. Supplier's sites can be accessed for procurement.
6. Spend analysis - BIW can be integrated with SRM for very powerful reporting.
Also, there are newer submodules coming viz. MDM, PLM, C folders in SAP SRM
But you need to know about the SAP SRM infrastructure scenarios and SAP technical objects how they work.
Functionality wise both may be same but when it come to the customization you need to know about the technical things in SAP SRM.
Ariba is core SRM (E-Procurement and E Sourcing) vendor, and they are in top 2 or 3 in SRM Market. Ariba's spend anlysis capability is its major strength, where as SAP SRM, integration is its major strength.
Please refer this link, (comparison by Aberdeen group)
http://www.ariba.com/learningcenter/view_page.cfm?asset_id=325
and also, you can search in Google, Forrester report for E sourcing vendors, you may get nice information.
Sent you some useful docs.

Hi,
I have found a PDF called SRM40_CG_SSP.pdf but this is an old document, we are on ITS 7.00. Is there new documentation about the configuration of SRM?
We need to upload attachments from SRM portal and we want to view/edit them in ECC but we cannot transfer them at all, we see the order but are not able to see the attachments. We've set all the settings found on SDN:
SRM Side:
Created implementation ZECA_DMS_CLASSIC for BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW and implementation ZECA_DMS_EXT_CLASSIC for BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW with following code for method FILL_RQ_INTERFACE and method FILL_RQ_INTERFACE and method FILL_RQ_INTERFACE1:
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
ECC Side:
- Create new document type for SRM with T.code DC10. Following parameters need to be set for that
a. Check Use KPro
b. Enter 1 in the number assignment field
c. Assign Internal number range as u201C02u201D
d. Select Number Exit u201CMCDOKZNRu201D
e. Version number increment u201C1u201D
- Assign following Object links to the new created document type u201CSRMu201D.
a. Type as u201CSRMu201D
b. Object as u201CEBANu201D and u201CEKPOu201D respectively
c. Object description as u201CPurchase req. itemu201D and u201CPurchase order itemu201D respectively
d. Screen number u201C247u201D for EBAN and u201C248u201D for EKPO.

BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI - Documentation and LOF (Vendor List) in SRM

Hello experts,
Someone would have details of how to use the badi BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI?
Currently I am with the extended classic scenario and need to activate the classical simultaneously.
Does anyone have any information on how the LOF (Vendor List) in SRM?
Thanks,
Pedro

In BADI BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI you can change standard behaviour
from classic to extended classic. System change from classsic to ext.
classic.
I suggest you to set in customizing "use classic scenario" (without
BADI) customice classic scenario check it and when works ok,
use BADI to use extended as usual except for reservations.

Creation of multiple contracts in ERP backend from 1 GOA in SRM

Hello fellow SRM'ers, we are on SRM 5.5 and we have a scenario where we create a GOA in SRM and it get's created as a contract in the ERP backend system. This is working fine. Now our client would like to have multiple contracts created in the backend, one for each company when the GOA is saved. I found OSS note 646903, statement #2 that explains how to code the badi bbp_ctr, but is this all that is required to do this? It seems to me that the code in BBP_CTR will only create 1 contract/idoc. Can anyone tell me how we generate an idoc/contract that we want to create in ERP backend? Or is this how it's done?
Points will be rewarded for usefull answers. I have read most of the posts on this forum and have not found any answers yet.
Thanks,
Marty

Hi,
Please go through the below explanation from SAP documentation which says the no of contracts that would be created in the backend depends on
--If you activate grouping logic for locations in GOA from SPRO under cross aplication settings, items belonging to the same release-authorized purchasing organization, but different locations, can be grouped together into one backend contract. This requires a 1:1:1 relationship between an item, the release-authorized purchasing organization, and the location. This means that for each item, you can only assign one release-authorized purchasing organization, and one location, in order to release the GOA.
If you do not select this indicator to activate the grouping logic for location, a separate backend contract is created for each item belonging to the same release-authorized purchasing organization, but with different locations. Only items referring to the same release-authorized purchasing organization and location can be combined into one backend contract.---
So the bottomline is by default, when we distribute one separate contract is created for each location.
Hope this clarifies.

RRK

SSO - integrated ITS - SRM 5(EBP)

Hi all,
I am just wondering if we need Java stack in order to set up Single sign on for SRM/EBP shopping cart (bbpstart).
We are on SRM Server 5.5 with integrated ITS. We don't have Portal. We currently have SSO implemented on all Gui interfaces for all SAP systems via Active directory.
What is the correct documentation for my case?
Thanks a lot and looking forward to hearing from any good instruction,
Kev

Hi,
If your password field is already pre filled with some value due to which you are unable to enter the password then you need to maintain the foll parameers in RZ10:
The foll tasks need to carried out preferably by a BASIS person after which you need to restart the SRM server for changes to be effective:-
1.Select the instance profile in RZ10 and goto Extended maintainence.
2.login/create_sso2_ticket = 2
login/accept_sso2_ticket = 1
Also check if the values for the SRM server are properly maintained in the table TWPURLSVR.
HTH.
