SRM resets source of supply

Hello,
Does anyone know how to lock source of supply during edit of Product Category or Purchasing Group? In many cases a Requisitioner does not know the correct product category so when a Buyer updates this field we would like the supplier to remain assigned.
Thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom,
I have understood from your requirement that you donot want preferred evndor to be deleted when Buyer changes say product category or price.
For achieving this functionality, we have implemented BADI_DOC_CHANGE_BADI . Wherein if the pre specified paramters say product category is changed the deletion indicator is set to blank and as a consequence the vendor is kept in the item.
Thanks

Source of supply in shopping cart

Hi everybody,
We are on SRM 5.0 (classic mode). When we create a shopping cart the system gets all the sources of supply from the backend system.
we need source of supply have to be suppressed all across any shopping cart other than catalog (like internal goods/services and describe requirment).In case of catalog,contract is assigned to the master catalog.
our requirement is in case of catalog items system should create a backend PO other than catalog items system need not to be find any source of supply from bakcend and it should alaways create backend PR only.
so i have activated sourcing via vendor list and did'nt create any vendor list at all. This ensure that no source of supply is assigned from the backend and also no source of supply assigned from the vendor list as well. so that in case of catalog, source of supply is assigned from catalog and its creating a backend purchase order but when i have changed the location or purchasing organization in shopping cart, system is reseting source of supply for the catalog items as well.
As a result for source of supply is cleaned for the catalog items also,
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ? Please specify clearly, what you want to do ?
Incase i understand you correctly, you want to reset the Vendor details, coming from R/3 backend in the SRM side.
Have you tried implementing the Business Add-Ins to meet your requirement.
Try implementing the BADIs
BBP_SOS_BADI
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK
BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS
Note -> first read the standard docuementation provided by SAP, before implementing the BADI using SE18 Transaction.
Alternatively, check whether these SRM configuration settings, might help you out as well.
SRM SPRO Configuration settings
SPRO -> SRM -> Cross Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System(Purch reqs, Purchase orders, Reservations...........................)

Why do I got "Source of supply reset"???

Hello,
We are on SRM 5.00 SP12 on classic scenario.
When we want to create a Catalog Shopping cart from a copy of an old one I got the message "Source of supply reset. Assign a new one, if necessary" and my Source of supply is reset. This is only for some supplier. Do you know where does the error can come from?
thanks for help!

Hi,
Refer the foll OSS note for solution:

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)
waht is the settings you maintained for your product category / purchase group - external procurement .
the above setting determines your follow on documents in the backend systems.
as discuused in the thread are you using any BADI ?

SRM 4.0: Source of Supplier not copying in line item on Shopping Cart

We are using SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup and currently experiencing a problem with the source of supplier not being copied on line items. The user stated that when copying a line items in a shopping cart the source of supplier is not copying to the new line. It happens sometimes but not everytime the client uses the line copy option.
It was initially thought that based on the amount of the line item (>=$25,000) that would cause the source of supplier (vendor) not to copy to the new line item but it has been verified by client that is not the case. If anyone has seen this issue and know of what the root cause could be please let me know.
Thanks

Yann,
Actually this is occurring when the user is creating a shopping cart from scratch. He added a line item either from catalog or free text, sources the item and then uses the copy function to copy the line item. When the client does this the item is copied but the vendor disappears from the 2nd line item and client has to add it again.
So that OSS notes doesn't apply unless I'm missing something.

What is the significance of Interlinkage as Source of Supply in SRM ?

Dear all,
When we send across a external requirement to SRM, then during the creation of shopping cart, it tries to determine a unique source of supply. It searches for available contracts , interlinkages and vendor lists.
My question is what is meaning of interlinakge? This has the details of Vendor + Product + Price.
Is this same as Purchasing Info record?
How is an interlinkage created in SRM?
Please provide links or clarification on significance of interlinakge.
Useful note for reference is 521458.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Srivatsa

Yes. you are correct
An interlinkage is a relationship in SAP SRM between a vendor and a product
used to specify a price. but note is very pld ..
It is also one of the source of supplies in SRM like contract , vendor list , inforecord.
in sc cockpit propose source of supply and you may get interlinkage if you maintained.

SRM 7 automatically assign source of supply in SOCO

Hi guru,
I'm working with SRM 7.0 extended classic scenario and i have to transfer external requirements from backend SAP into SRM Sourcing Cockpit. In the SOCO I have to determine automatically the source of supply and the price.
I read that in the SOCo the sources relevant are:
1. contract
2. interlinkage
3. vendor list ( there isn't information of price)
Could you please explain me how it works this functionality, and the priority in the determination of supply and price?
Have you documentation about ?
Thank in advance
L.

Hello,
If there is only one source of supply available (it does not matter if it is contract or info record), system will assign it automatically.
If there is more than one, you can press "proposed sources of supply" button and SRM will show all available sources of supply.
Price will be taken from sources of supply in any case.

Ricardo

Sources of Supply in SRM ?

Hi friends
Sources of Supply in SRM
How is automatic determination of sources of supply
priorities of sources of supply
Regards
Surya

HI Surya,
Source of supply is nothing but automatic determination of vendor or list of possible vendors for that particular product ir product category...
Whenever you are doing Shop then you can find one tab "source of supply tab"..here you can find automatic source of suppply if already maintained.
These we will maintain in process vendor list t-code...

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic

Hi All
i have read many SAP Press books and materials but no where officially mentioned INFORECORD as source of supply but we could use INFORECORD as source of supply in the classic. Why SAP did not agree inforecord is a valid source of supply in any of the officical books.What could have stopped to write this point.Dfinetly some good meaning is there. Why SAP SRM definitions are missing.
for eg.by martin murray and srm materials.etc..

R/3 Contracts Do Not Show as Source of Supply in SRM/EBP

We are implementing SRM4.0 connecting to a backend R/3 Enterprise (470) instance in a classic mode. "Standard" functionality should allow us to see backend R/3 contracts (by material group) when in the source of supply tab in the SRM shopping cart. None appear. We want to be able to select the backend material group contracts from the source of supply tab - this was standard in previous versions (of SRM/EBP).
Did we miss a new configuration setting? Is anyone aware of a potential "fix" for this? (All RFCs, etc work fine). We are not interested in replicating the R/3 contracts to SRM.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.....Kyle

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic

How to del all info regarding source of supply from R3 reqs coming to SRM

Hello Experts,
We are trasfering requisitions from ECC to SRM.
By standard functionality, if a requisition comes with a source of supply assigned to it, and this requisition is sent to SRM, we have configured that a Shopping cart that has a SOS assigned should create an automatic PO.
However, these requisitions might have materials that already have a local contract in SRM. This is colliding with the SOS assigned previously in the Preq in ECC.
Is there a way to wipe out the SOS information from the requisitions coming from ECC?
Thanks!
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi. You could try BBP_SOS_BADI.
Alternatively, why not disable the souce of supply fields in ECC using field selection config?
That way users could not enter a source of supply in ECC.

Dave.

Source of Supply Error?

Hi,
I am currently experiencing the following problem: (We are running SRM 5)
I replicate vendors from the R/3 system to SRM via BBPGETVD trans code.
I select the correct Object ID (for the Vendor Org structure I created in PPOCV_BBP)
I check that the Vendors have been replicated (They appear in Vendor Org structure PPOMV_BBP)
BUT these newly replicated Vendors do not appear in the Source of Supplier when I try to assign them when creating a Shopping Cart?? Its strange cos the previous batch of vendors I replicated worked fine and appear in the Source of Supply??
Ive also run the business partner check transaction: BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE and checked that the Org units are synchronized. I have green lights for everything.
Ive checked that the replicated vendor is mapped to the correct Purchasing Org, Manually in the Frontend (with Admin user via Manage Business Partners) and
via the Backend with trans code BBP_UPDATE PORG. The vendor is assigned to the correct Purch Org.
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.
