SRM Supplier Qualification vs. Supplier LifeCycle Management

Hi,
Is there a comparison of functionalities between SRM Supplier Qualification and Supplier LifeCycle Management?
The requirement is just for qualifying suppliers via standard qualification process - but may require customer specific survey forms, workflows and evaluation.
Why SLC if a client already has SRM?
Please let me know if anyone has a comparison document.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dennis Phyo

Hi Dennis,
Did you find any comparison matrix / document?
I am looking for something similar.
Thanks,

SRM 7.0 EHP2 Supplier Qualification Process

Dear experts,
i customized the registration of suppliers via wda_e_suco_sreg, WebDynPro.
The process:
1. Potential supplier obtained a link to the self registration questionaire
2. Potential Supplier fills out the questionaire and push the button <send>
3. Potential Supplier receives an email
4. Potential supplier is saved as Business Partner in SRM in table but000
and now i get stuck.
Can someone explain me how to configure the next steps:
supplier preselection
supplier Transfer (from SRM to ERP Backend)
data Transfer from ERP to supplier self-Services
supplier enablement
Thank you in anticipation,
Daniel

Daniele,
it could be due to multiple purchasing org. assignment to the suppliers.

Supplier Qualification with ERP

Dear experts,
I've set up the supplier qualification process. So fas so good.
I'm able to accept a supplier in "Supplier Preselection"
I want to transfer this supplier to the ECC system next but the transaction to do so is not there.
I have assigned the Role: /SAPSRM/SUS_ROS_PROCESSOR to my user and I can only see the transaction Pre-Select Supplier
According to the documentation the following transactions should be included to the workset for this role:
Transfer Supplier
Preselect Suppliers
Supplier Monitor
But I can not see the transactions Transfer Supplier and Supplier Monitor.
Am I missing something?

Hello Nikhil,
Thanks for your reply.
The Strategic Purchaser role is also assigned.
I may be wrong but isn't the scenario you are describing Supplier Qualification with SRM server?
Look at the following link. There you can see a second scenario called Supplier Qualification with ERP.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/45/efc057348a3112e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
THat scenario describes a process where you can transfer the supplier manually to the ERP system through XI.
Indeed there is a new functionality in EhP1 to automatically transfer the accepted supplier to ECC.
Also check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/f4/1b962bda07450b9076bb66a7d42fa7/frameset.htm
Here you can see the worksets for this role.
I'm a bit confused and hope you can help me out.
Kind regards

E1 8.12 Supplier Split Percentages, Supplier Relationship Management, VMI

Three things:
#1 We are trying to locate E1 users, version 8.10 or higher, that have figured out how to split demand between two or more suppliers without using the out-of-the-box supplier split percentage / supplier release scheduling functionality. We do not want to split each order, in very simple terms we want to be able to indicate a percent split between two suppliers and have the system send a given percent of orders to supplier A and a given percent of orders to supplier B - and have all setup and reporting work appropriately. Or, if someone has done an enhancement along these lines we would like to talk with you.
#2 Also, we would like to talk with manufacturing companies currently using the Supplier Relationship Management portal (also known as Supplier Self Service) for versions 8.10 or higher - we are on 8.12. We are interested in using the module but want to talk with some current users about their experience i.e., what are they doing for invoicing, how did they overcome multiple supplier numbers, ease of configurability, etc.,
#3 - Would love to talk with anyone doing vendor managed inventory or consigned inventory in E1 8.10 or higher.
Thanks - Tom Madden - [email protected]

Supplier number and Supplier name

i want to extract supplier number and supplier name based on company code, this requirement impacts both SRM system and R/3 system, i don't know from where should i fetch supplier number, is it from SRM or R/3 ? and how? i know the question is very abstract , can anyone please help me on this?

Hello,
All the master data resides in the R/3 system but not in the SRM system. So, if you are building the application to fetch the Supplier Number & Name, then you need to build the same in the R/3 system.
Hope this helps.

Change supplier type in supplier portal

Hi all,
anyone knows if it is possible to let the supplier change his supplier type (in the supplier portal)?
I managed to find a security right for the supplier / supplier manager profile but this didn't seem to work.
Thanks,
Bram

Hi Vikram,
the vendors can be active in multiple sectors (e.g. TAXI, TOWING SERVICE, HOTEL, ...). For each sector, we will be creating a supplier type since some fields need to be visible/hidden based on the supplier type.
Sometimes, a vendor can also be active in multiple sectors (e.g. towing service and taxi). For these vendors, we will be creating combination types, i.e. supplier type 'taxi_towing' for example.
Let's assume a vendor has been created as a taxi but he has decided to start a new service (towing serices), we want him to be able to change his supplier type manually from taxi to taxi_towing. This will automatically show some new fields which he can fill in.
I know it's a little bit complicated but we have no other way of doing it.

What/Where is the Value Lifecycle Manager (VLM)

What/Where is the Value Lifecycle Manager (VLM)
I was just reviewing an ASUG presentation from Soledad Alvarado Ganzhorn of SAP NetWeaver Product Management at SAP Labs. It describes a value lifecycle manager tool that includes:
&#56256;&#56457;Value Discovery content includes: Interview Questions, Pain Points, Best Practices, Solution Enablers, Value Drivers & KPI's, and Data Requests
&#56256;&#56457; A Knowledge Management Platform Retrieve and Enter content
&#56256;&#56457; A Highly Flexible and Customizable Business Case Building and Reporting Platform
&#56256;&#56457; Used by Value Engineers, Solution Engineers, ISG, Partners and others
Is anyone aware if SAP is using this tool already? Will customers get access to it? This sounds like a replacement for the business case builder which I haven't seen either. It would be nice if customers had access to these sorts of discovery tools. Since we don't utilize SAP consulting, we are often not able to access this content as we initiate new initiatives. It would be nice to have access as it seems like we are internally selling their software for them.

The tool is available. It is at the following URL:
https://sapvalueengineering.com/VLM2/client.page
SAP has nominated select Partners that have access to the tool. You can probably check with the SAP partner relationship manager in your organization to see if you have access to this tool.

LifeCycle Manager: The kind 'Note' does not exist in the CMS

Hi there,
I'm trying to promote a Crystal Report from one relatively fresh XI 3.1 environment to another fresh XI 3.1 environment (TEST to PROD) using LifeCycle Manager, and for this report, which has no dependencies, I get the following error when I do a Test Promote or actual Promote:
Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed, Promotion Status=Failure : com.businessobjects.lcm.utilities.LCMException: com.businessobjects.sdk.biar.exception.XSDException$UnknownKindException: The kind 'Note' does not exist in the CMS. (FWM 04030)
Has anyone encountered anything similar to this? I can't find any InfoObject that logically relates to the type/kind 'Note'. Perhaps it has to do with discussions?
Thanks,
Allan

Hi,
Can you try promoting it with the security option enabled.
Based on the error condition it seems that the discussion plugin does not exist in the destination system.

We want to use MOPZ and additionally the Software Lifecycle Manager functionality which is available as of SP15 of SSM. Where can i find documentation about this functionality? We have the problem if i call transaction /TMWFLOW/MOPZCA that the Web Services for SLM are not available. Which Web Services? I have created a http connection to the SLM server (Java stack) like the description in the help of IMG.
How can i connect a software repository to MOPZ/SLM ?

SSL Certificate for Software LifeCycle Management

Dear Friends,
We have Solution Manger 70 with EhancementPack 1 (Java 7.01 SP4). Trying to configure the Software LifeCycle Management and I am stuck at the first stage i.e. generating SSL SSL Certificate.
Here is what I have done and please let me know on how to proceed...
- Installed SAP Cryptographic libraries, all the necessary Profile parameters and activated HTTPS...
- STRUSTSSO2 --> Created SSL Server PSE
- Generated the Certificate Requests for the SSL Server PSE
- Copied the Certificate Request.
- Opened the https://service.sap.com/tcs site
- Requested for SSL Test Server Certificate by pasting the Copied the Certificate Request and generated the certificate response in a "PKCS # 7 Certificate Chain" format.
- Copied the Generated Imported Certficate from SAP Trust center Site, and Imported the Certificate response for SSL Server using STRUSTSSO2.
What else I am missing here?????????
How to generate the Import Certifcate in a crt file format for SSL client (Anonymous or Standard) PSE's?????????
Kindly help me with these issue ASAP.
Thank you,
Nikee

Users are prompted to accept the certificate from the WLC because the clients do not have a trusted root certificate for the certificate that is installed on the WLC. The SSL certificate on the WLC is not in the list of certificates that the client system trusts. There are two ways to stop the generation of this web-browser security alert popup window:
a) Use the self-signed SSL certificate on the WLC and configure the client stations to accept the certificate
b) Generate a CSR and install a certificate that is signed by a source (a third-party CA) for which the clients already have the trusted root certificates installed.

Supplier collaboration and Supplier registration

Hello ,
Has any worked on supplier collaboration and Supplier registration scenarios .
I need some documents on the above topics.
It would be of great help if some one could send these documents on this .
Regards
Jassi

Hi Jaspinder,
As per ur last mail query.
The Supplier Collaboration and Supplier Registration these two scenarios are comes in the picture when ur talking with Supplier or involving Supplier for the decision making process.
1) For Supplier Collaboration we need to configure PDP with SI and Service Procurement and CCM.
2) For Supplier Registration comes under Strategic Sourcing scenario.
You will get the configuration guide for the same at the Service market place.
Please award the points if it helps u in resolving the issue.

Certificate lifecycle management

Hi,
I am using Root and SubCA on 2012 server. I would like to have certificates monitored and do cert lifecycle management. I do see we have various vendors like venafi but would want to know if we can use any cost effective solution to achieve same without
using any 3rd party vendor.
Thanks

In the box you are limited to things like scripts or Powershell tools you may write. But more recently, Certificate Lifecycle Notifications became available. Honestly it leverages existing tools and technology and isnt a new product per-se, but provides
guidance on how to do some notifications. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14250.certificate-services-lifecycle-notifications.aspx
If you are looking for something more comprehensive, I would recommend you check out CMS from CSS-Security at: http://www.css-security.com/areas-of-expertise/certificate-management-system-cms/
