SRM SUS: Can supplier create PO?

Hi Experts.
SRM 7.0.
I have a scenario where we wish to allow some suppliers the opportunity of creating purchase orders via the portal - we are implementing SRM-SUS, and the standard scenario is that a PO is created in our backend, and the supplier can then access this via the portal. Now, is there any way that the supplier through the portal is able to create a PO, that will then get transfered to my backend? I believe I read somewhere that this could be possible, perhaps when using contracts that the vendor could then access through the portal etc.
Any comments on this? Basically: Does SRM-SUS support a functionality where the supplier creates the PO in the portal?

Hi Dennis
Buyer(Purchaser) always creates a Puchase order in SRM or ECC . Supplier only should accept or reject the PO and supplier can send ASN /GR/Invoice and it will be validated in our ECC or EBP systems

Hi,
In SRM SUS ( Supplier self service)
1) Is it possible that Supplier/Vendors can able to create purchase orders himself
2) Can Supplier/vendors able to access cataloges
3)Can supplier create confirmation himself for both goods , as i knows it is possible for service confimations
Thx
Jai

Hi Jairaj,
In SRM SUS ( Supplier self service)
1) Is it possible that Supplier/Vendors can able to create purchase orders himself
No. The Vendors change can accept or reject PO Lines and change the price.
They can create POR.
2) Can Supplier/vendors able to access cataloges
No.
3)Can supplier create confirmation himself for both goods , as i knows it is possible for service confimations
The vendors can create Service entry sheet in SRM 7.0.
The vendors can create ASN for materials.

Differences b/w ICH & SRM SUS

Hi SAP experts,
I would like to know the differences between SRM SUS & SCM ICH. Both are supplier collaboration systems bundled in two different solutions.
To my knowledge the only difference is, the inventory levels are seen in case of SCM ICH , but whereas in SRM SUS its not possible.
Experts please throw some light on this.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Hi
Please go through this ->
SAP Inventory Collaboration Hub (ICH)

ICH is the supplier collaboration element covering tigher collaboration processes,
like forecasting, kanban, order management; it supports the production process,
but for e.g. does not cover invoicing. it is different than SUS, which focus
on small suppliers without any systems inhouse and only offers order managmt.
It depends on the environment, if you need SUS or / and ICH.
In longterm the SUS functionalities are planned to be integrated into ICH forming
a new product called Supply Network Collaboration offering all collaborative
processes. - ICH is part of the SCM Suite as well found under Collaboratio Suite
- Installed on a separate Box; from SCM perspective it also makes sense to
separate APO and ICH; nevertheless SCM is a one client environment, like BW
- Documents are available via SCM and Solution Manager; search in the
Marketplace
Please find some info "ICH" in the SAP Service Marketplace. ICH is Inventory Collaboration Hub, Supplier Managed Inventory.

SRM SUS
SRM SUS can and should be used for Indirect material procurement. mySAP SRM provides a fantastic solution for transferring Purchase Orders from EBP to SUS for indirect materials and service items.
If you wish to integrate MM-SUS (which is primarily intended for direct materials) then you will have to use Classic Scenario. But then you will lose all Sourcing functionality in SRM.
ICH/SNC is intended for direct materials only. It does not support free text items or items bought for cost centers.
The ICH Purchase Order process is also intended for small suppliers - this is not a difference between ICH and SUS.
But ICH is only intended for purchase orders with a material.
Therefore the scenario is a deciding factor.
For indirect materials you are probably doing some purchase orders without materials, and these purchase orders can not be handled within ICH.
If you have only purchase orders with material items ICH can definitely be considered - and it is the tool for the future. A drawback of ICH is the master data complexity and this should be considered/evaluated before choosing ICH.

SRM SUS Supplier operating in more countries?

Hi all.
SRM SUS 7.0
We are implementing SRM SUS, and my question is quite simple: A vendor that in ECC has more than 1 purchasing organization, how can I distinguish among those in SUS so that not all contact persons are receiving the PO?
I would expect to simply use either the purchasing org or company code, but the organizational setup for SUS is so limited, that the EKORG og BUK are not even considered.
Supplier ABC operates in EKORG 1 and 2; with 1 overall SAP vendor number. That's standard. In SUS the supplier is created in the PPOMV_BBP with no respect to BUK, and EKORG is not even a parameter/an attribute you can use while creating the vendor org units. When the supplier is replicated to SUS, it is created in PPOMV_BBP. Then you create a contact person in SUS to let SRM know who to send the PO for this vendor number to. However, the contact person does - again - not take either BUK or EKORG into consideration.
I can only see that if you use SAP ECC with 1 overall vendor number for multiple purchasing organizations, then SUS will not be able to distinguish and send the "New PO in SUS" info to the right contact persons, since there seem to be no organizational setup for SRM SUS...
I hope I am overlooking something simple, so any input is valid!

Hi Sam.
Thanks for the input. However, what you state is not accurate for our scenario at least. In MN04 we simply control the output conditions in ECC - however, for our MM-SUS implementation given our current ECC/SRM releases, we use XML out from ECC and into SRM again; not regular output conditions.
And my issue is still the following:
Functional scenario:
Supplier called ABC operationg in 2 countries but with 1 overall vendor number
Contact Person 1 created for vendor; this is in pur org 200
Contact Person 2 created for vendor; this is in pur org 300
Contact 1 should only see POs in pur org 200 in SUS; Contact 2 should only see POs in pur org 300 in SUS.
In ECC, this would be vendor ABC and create him in the 2 different pur orgs; no problem. In SUS, however, the vendor master (or BP) does not use the purchasing org in any case. And when creating the contact person in SUS for the overall vendor ABC, there is no org maintenance either. Therefore, all POs from ECC to SUS will be sent to both contact 1 and 2 because SUS does not seem to know how to handle 1 vendor number with multiple purchasing organizations.
This sounds strange to me! Any other input?

Supplier Self Service (SRM-SUS)

Hi All,
does anyone have or no of a definite list of which SRM-SUS fucntionality is available in
Extended Classic Scenario
Classic Scenario
Standalone
What I'm trying to find out is which scenarios the following are available in:
PO exchange from EBP to SUS
Catalogue Content Management via SUS
Supplier Goods Receipting via SUS
Supplier Invoice Receupting via SUS
Cheers
Chris

please refer to the follwoing
·        The classic scenario
The shopping cart is created and approved in SAP Enterprise Buyer. The remainder of the procurement process takes place in the backend ERP system(s) and all other follow-on documents, such the purchase order, goods receipt/service entry sheet and invoice, are located there. With SAP Supplier Self-Services, you have partial supplier involvement for the operational procurement business scenarios when buying materials. There is no support for services.
·        The extended classic scenario
The shopping cart is created in SAP Enterprise Buyer. The purchase order and follow-on documents are also created there and then replicated to the backend system. The purchase order in SAP Enterprise Buyer is the leading purchase order and cannot be changed in the backend system. Goods receipts and invoices can be pre-entered in SAP Enterprise Buyer or entered directly in the backend system. With SAP Supplier Self-Services, you have partial supplier involvement for all your operational procurement scenarios. In these scenarios, you have supplier involvement for the purchase order and the purchase order response.
·        The standalone scenario
The shopping cart and purchase order are processed directly in SAP Enterprise Buyer. You have no materials management functions in your ERP system and, instead, use those in SAP Enterprise Buyer for all procurement processes. The final invoice is sent to a backend accounting system. With SAP Supplier Self-Services, you have complete supplier involvement for all your operational procurement scenarios

Hi
Please try this ->
Check whether the roles delivered by SAP meet your requirements. If not, you can create new roles and assign transactions to them. We recommend that you copy standard roles and tailor them to your requirements.
All users assigned to a respective role are then allowed to carry out the transactions. If required, you can refine the authorization check on the tab page Authorizations.
Standard SAP Single-roles
SAP_EC_SUS_ADMIN_PURCHASER (for purchasing administrators - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_BIDDER (for bidders - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_DISPATCHER (for dispatchers - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_INVOICER (for invoicers - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_ORDER_PROCESSOR (for order processors - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_MANAGER (for managers - SAP Supplier Self-Services)
SAP_EC_SUS_SERVICE_AGENT (for service agents - SAP Supplier Self-Services)

If you want to use SAP Supplier Self-Services, proceed as follows:
1. Select one of the following single roles:
SAP_EC_SUS_ADMIN_PURCHASER

SAP_EC_SUS_SERVICE_AGENT
SAP_EC_SUS_SERVICE_MANAGER
2. Choose Change Roles.
3. Choose the Personalization tab page.
Note: The personalization applies to all roles, meaning the user can also create his own roles, for example copying the delivered SAP SUS roles. He can tailor these roles to his requirements by changing the SUS-specific attributes (BBP_SUS_ROLE_ATTRIBUTES).
1. Select the entry BBP_SUS_ROLE_ATTRIBUTES (SUS-specific role attributes).
2. Choose Change values.
A dialog box for maintaining SUS-specific roles appears.
3. If required, perform the following steps:
If the role should be displayed in the SUS User Management (UM) and should be able to be assigned to the relevant user by the supplier administrator, set the indicator to display the role in SUS UM.
If the user should be displayed as a service agent for the purchaser, set the Service agent indicator.
If you want to define the user as an SRM administrator, set the SRM administrator indicator. The user is then authorized to change all supplier data.
If want to assign the role SUS administrator automatically to the user during registration, set the SUS administratorindicator.
Sets the relevant indicators if you want users to receive the following notifications: Notification If Purchase Order Not Opened, Notification If Purchase Order Response Is Missing, Notification If ASN Is Missing, Notification If ConfirmationIs Missing, Notification If Invoice Is Missing,

At least i did it.
The solution was in the transaction BUPA_TAXNUMTYPE. Here you can define wether you want to check the duplicated TAXNUMBERS or not. After applying some patches we think the value of the entry corresponding to our country, changed. So we put the value to OFF and everything worked fine again.
Thank you.

SRM-SUS Scenerio Replicating company code and suppliers to SUS via XI

We have configured SRM-SUS scenario. We have SRM and SUS on the same system but different clients. We have configured extended classic scenario. We are on SRM 2007 with SP5
Issue:
When I execute transaction BBP_SP_COMP_INI I get no errors. I check SXMB_MONI in my SUS client and it has processed correctly. However it does not update table BBP_SUS_BPCMPMAP. I check SLG1 in SRM and SUS and get messages that data replicated.
When I execute transaction BBP_SP_SUPP_INI to move the SRM suppliers to SUS I check SXMB_MONI and everything processed correctly. However, when I check table VENMAP there are no entries.
I then create a PO and send to SUS. I get the following error:
Error in an XI interface: No partner found for partner number VNDR_ACCT_ Program: SAPLBBP_BD_VALUE_MAPPING; Include: LBBP_BD_VALUE_MAPPINGF11; Line: 436
When we debug the proxy it is trying to validate our SRM company code (VNDR_ACCT) in table BBP_SUS_BPCMPMAP which is empty.
It appears that SUS is not allowing the creation of external partners. Does SRM to SUS transfers utilize the BP number range table which distinguishes external and internal BPs which is used when replicating suppliers between ECC and SRM.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue before?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Joe

Hello Nikhil:
I think my issue is that the XI proxys' are not being updated in SUS. It appears to me that it is similar to when you are executing BBPGETVD between ECC and SUS (MM-SUS) and the BP number range in SUS is not set to accept external BPs.
So, When I execute BBP_SP_SUPP_INI and send SRM suppliers to SUS how does it know the VG5XXXXXXX. When I replicate BBPGETVD I tell the VG5XXXXXXXX. I did configure the "Managing Business Partners" SUS configuration but we are not using supplier registration so I do not have URL for UM or Notification. I did update the "Central Vendor Group" , "Default Purchase Org", and "Currency". Does XI use this setting to know where to assign the vendors or is there another piece of configuration I missed?
What I did to create the entry in table BBP_SUS_BPCMPMAP is I executed transaction BBP_SUS_BP_ADM and entered in the "Company Code" field the BP from my SRM system assigned to my ECC backend company code . In the log sys field I entered the log sys of my SRM cleint. I then completed the other required fields. In the end it created the following entry:
101 4CF3AE33A6036B71E10000000AF8EF08 ERACLNT100 0001 0000000018
Client 100 is SRM and 101 is SUS.
I am able to configure SUS for MM_SUS and replicate suppliers and company code from ECC to SUS. However, this does not use XI. For thois reason I think my issue is a missing piece of config to tell XI where to create external business partners?
When I check the payload of my SRM PO it does not show the company code but uses BP 18 which is the SRM BP for my backend company code. When I check BBP_PD for this PO in SRM it has my company code as "BE CO_ CODE"
Do you have any more suggestions?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Joe

Does SRM SUS support contract negotiation from supplier point of view?

Dear experts,
could you please share your view on whether SRM sus support contract handling? can a supplier monitor contract fulfillment or potential expiry of a contract from SRM SUS side? can supplier take part in contract re negotiation from SUS side?
As far as I know, SRM 7.01 supports scheduling agreement release in SRM SUS.
Your thoughts will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Dear Sam,
Thanks for the reply. Then, can we enable our suppliers to monitor contract from Supplier Portal in the SRM server itself like the way Suppliers can participate in the bidding in the SRM server? Any thoughts or input will be highly appreciated as my client wants to enable suppliers to monitor expiry of the contracts from their side.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Creating custom field in ASN screen of SRM SUS

Hi,
Our requirment is as follows
A custom defined field is to be created in the ASN screen under the Delivery Information block (under the field Bill of Ladding)
As in the normal scenario of ASN the shipment notification is sent to R/3 through XI. Now this new custom field is also to be sent to R/3 through XI in the normal way. This field carries a alphanumerical value
Could someone help us in this regard, how to create this new field in SRM and map it to XI
System Details:
SRM SERVER 5.5
SRM 5.0
XI 7.0
Regards,
Solai

Dear Solai
For addind new fields in SRM-SUS scenarios
First add an field in the inbound delivery in R3 tables
Second map the same in XI in the adapter engine in the mappping process
third add field at the table level in SRM also refer note 672960 where it is refering the INCL_EEW_* structures .
Secndly modify the template which is dispayed on the SUS portal .

SUS: Vendor not created in SRM with partner function 19

Hi,
I am using SRM 5.0 MM-SUS scenario. The issue is related to vendor migration from ERP and updation in SRM.
When i migrate a vendor with account group VEND from ERP then in SRM the vendor is properly created and a corresponding entry is updated in table CRMD_PARTNER. The vendor is alotted partner function 19.
However when i migrate a vendor with acount group VEIN from ERP the in SRM vendor is getting created and is updated in vendor organisation but its entry in table CRMD_PARTNER is missing.
Does this mean that only account group VEND is considered as vendor in SRM and thus assigned partner function 19 and gets a entry in mentioned table.
Request your inputs.
Regards,
Ashish

Vendor data is maintained in table CRMD_PARTNER only when transactional documents exist for the vendor.

Where can I create Partner Role type (TSW003-supplier) for TSW

HI IS OIL Expertise,
Where can I create Partner Role type (TSW003-supplier) for TSW?
Because while creating partner role @T Code: O4TQ @ Role Assignment” TSW003-supplier” not available on drop-down list.
please do needful on this.
Thanks
Chandra

Hello Chandrasekhar
As you know that Partner Role is -
"The master data record of a partner role is used to define a business partner. The partner role includes information about the activities that the business partner can carry out and where the business partner carries out these activities. Stock-holding objects, such as plants and storage locations can also be defined as partner roles."
According to your screen shot and question, you want to define the TSW003 which only shown when you enter Vendor code in initial screen i.e. O4TQ.
Thanks

Change the standard XI content for SRM SUS scenario

Hello everyone,
I am implementing the "Plan driven procurement with supplier integration" scenario which integrates the SAP R/3 and SRM-SUS.
I have imported the standard XI content available on service market place for the scenario.
Now i have to modify the scenario. I have to add some additional fields in the inbound message for purchase order request.
The proxy classes for these interfaces were already created in the SRM system.
So now after changing the message type what all things i shd take care of e.g like creating the proxy newly etc.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Nawale

Hi Shabarish,
Thanks for your reply, but i have a couple of more questions.
1.I can find a function module called from the method present in the proxy class generated.
METHOD ii_bbpx1_preq_request_in~execute_asynchronous.
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_SAPXML1_EXTREQU_UPDATE_IN'
EXPORTING
is_purchreq_request = input.
ENDMETHOD.
so since i am changing the purchase order request do i have to do any changes in the function module as well.
In the function module Proxy Structures are mapped to the API Structures and then the API is called using BBP_API_EXTREQU_UPDATE function module.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Nawale

SRM SUS using PI in Extended Classic Scenario

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are in SRM 5.0 ,extended classic scenrio and plan to implement SUS for PO create/Change,PO response and
ASN.We plan to use PI for this integration and as per Note 573383 our IT team plans to use two different client
(one for EBP) and other for SUS.Does anyone have a config guide for this scenario??
In this scenario what all configuration are to be done on SRM(EBP) side??Do I need to configure PO/PO response and ASN number ranges for SUS?
Do I need to create a new vendor org structure in SUS client so that I can replicate SRM/EBP vendor to SUS??
What all settings are to be done on PI side.
Any help/documentation in this direction would be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Priya

few answers to your questions
1) what is the release of SRM you want to work with?
2) services in SUS is not available as standard , and will be provided by SAP as consulting up on request.
3) for hardware requirements , please refer to the master guide for the srm release you will be working on -->
and also you can refer to the software component matrix in master guide --> to see if any component is mandatory..
4) XI and MDM as far as i know is mandatory for SRM 6.0 and above , But in SRM 5.0 , XI is compulsory.
5) so xi is mandatory in anyway in SUS as different systems are involved and therefore is required for routing the documents correctly.
6) time for installation again depends on your supplier base , and your level of expertise.
7) it is not always recommended to compare between two different systems , R/3 and SUS are different and so functionality will not be the same
8) but as far as i know R/3 is stronger functioanlly..
