Custom field in Create Bid Invitation..

Hi,
I have to add a custome field in the 'Create Bid Invitation - Find bid invitation - Extended Search screen. has anyone done this same scenario.
john.

hi,
I dont think you can add custom field at the item overview level.
There is nothing in standard for CUF in item overview.
CUF are available in Header/item basic data, accounting and search screens, but nothing in item overview.
The only workaround which i can see is to modify the HTML page in the Internet Service .
You can try to use some standard field which stores the information you want to display (instead oc creating a custom field).e.g.If you want to display the Product CAtegory in addition to its description on the item overview screen(Table control),then you will have to find out the std field which stores the Prod category value.
If the standard populates that field with the info you require you'll not have to populate it yourself: so check it.
Be careful to add this column as the last column in the Table control, as the template refers to column numbers for existing data.
Then change the template in order to manage the field display in the different cases (selection and display).
DO NOT COPY STANDARD PROGRAM, or you will loose modification tracking during upgrade or SP applications.
Be careful. The same HTML templates of the Internet Service are (shared) used for all the users. So be very sure in making changes to the standard HTML template and publishing those changes. Incase of shortdumps here, you need to go through each line in the Service to see the cause of the error(which might be as silly as missing a comma, bracket, period after a line). SAP dump analysis is not much help here.

Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequ

Hi everybody
"Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequuences"
When I create a bid invitation from a previous template, from the template search results (Icon_create SAPLBBP_BID_INV 1010) my bid is published but then stay in the model search and the status is wating for approval. But no workflow started in BBP_PD.
If I use the same template for creating a new bid from the detail using the create bid invitation button, the bid invitation is created correctly.
I have configured the two events for the BUS2200 object and both of them have an initial condition.
It seems that the two actions trigger different events or something like that
Does anybody why it is occurring this and how I could link the workflow without approval for this case.
Thanks

Error when create bid invitation (Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid)

Dear All ,
We have issue in our PDP scenario, when creating a bid invitation from a PR (from R/3), an error occured with message" Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid".
I already raise an oss message and the reply is because the system take different company code that's not active in R/3 system. Its because TAXD procedure is assign to country DE (German) and company 0001 country is "DE".
BE_STGE_LOC 9114

We wonder how the system assign company code 0001 with plant 7008, since in R/3 Plant 7008 is assign to company code 8008.
The company code 0001 is not active in our R/3 system.
And also its not happen for all document , so just for several document, and not just in this plant (7008).
The OSS reply also mention that the company chages is because this badi

======================================================
Assign the appropriate company code and modify the ET_ITEM table
ls_item-be_co_code = ls_locmap-company_code.
MODIFY et_item FROM ls_item.

But we already use this badi for several years, and we're not sure that this badi id the root cause,and until now there still no solution for this issue.
Please kindly advise.

Hi SG,
In SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Cross Application Basic Settings > Tax Calculation
1.Determine system for tax caluclation : Choose either no tax calculation or Tax calculation occurs in back end.
2. Enter Tax code : Mention Tax indicator as I0 and tax description Zero Tax, Check the No Tax check box and make it default based on your requirement.
Please follow the above steps based on your requirement which will definitely resolve your issue.
This issue comes when the tax calculation happens in the SRM system and the tax code I0 is not defined in tax procedure TAXD.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Download the Step By Step Guide to Create a Tree in Forms

hi,
I have developed a sample form for Tree Item. Anybody who doesn't know how to create a Tree Item in form can visit the page and download the step by step guide from there. There is a sample form, sample table data, one document describing the whole process and pictures which is a step by step guide.
Please Note: The document there is from Oracle. I didn't change anything in it. I just developed the form by going through the step from the document.
Please visit this site

Thank you

Thanks for your comment. I think it's always good to share the stuff this way instead of informing the people like "hey, I have this stuff. mail me if anybody wants", which I think is not the good way as you mentioned.

Step by step guide to create a RFC connection and data transfer

hi
could i get a step by step guide to transfer/read data from SAP and legacy system using the concept of RFC.
Regards
Shiva

hi
Here are the steps.
SM59 Transaction is used for Connection Establishment with Destination.
When you establish a connection to a client through a destination, the HTTP connection must first be entered in transaction SM59.
There are two types of HTTP connection in transaction SM59: Call transaction SM59 to display the different RFC destinations.
The HTTP connection to the external server (connection type G) and the HTTP connection to the R/3 system (connection type H) are different only in their logon procedures. Their technical settings are the same. To display the technical settings, double-click a connection.
You can choose from three tabs. Under Technical Settings, you can specify the following:
· Target Host: The host to which you want to connect.
Note that if you are using HTTPS as a protocol, you have to specify the full host name (with domain).
· Service No.: Here, you specify the port. The destination host must of course be configured in such a way that the specified port understands the corresponding protocol (HTTP or HTTPS). See Parameterizing the ICM and the ICM Server Cache.
· Path Prefix: At the time when the connection to this destination is initiated, the system inserts this sub-path before ~request_uri.
· HTTP Proxy Options: Here, you can configure a proxy for HTTP connections: You can determine the proxy host and service, as well as users and passwords for the HTTP connection.
The tab page Logon/Security will be different depending on whether you have selected a HTTP connection to an external server (connection type G) or a HTTP connection to an R/3 system (connection type H).
HTTP Connection to an External Server (Connection Type G)
Choose the connection you want to use. You can choose from the following logon procedures:
· No Logon: The server program does not request a user or password.
· Basic Authentication: The server program requests a user and password. Basic Authentication is a standard HTTP method for authenticating users. When a user logs on to the target system, he or she provides a user ID and password as authentication. This information is then sent in a header variable as a Base 64-encoded string to the server, through the HTTP connection.
· SSL Client Certificate: If you use client certificates for authentication, the client authentication is performed through the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. In this case, you must also select the SSL Client PSE of the SAP Web AS that contains the relevant certificate for the authentication. The target system must handle the issuer of the SAP Web AS client certificate as a trusted system.
Under Logon/Security, you can also activate SSL to ensure that HTTPS is the protocol used (if you select SSL, make sure that the correct port is entered under Technical Settings). In the security transaction STRUST you can determine which type of SSL client is used. (Getting Started with the Trust Manager, Trust Manager).
The field Authorization for Destination has been implemented as an additional level of protection. We recommend that you specify a user and password for the RFC destination.
HTTP Connection to an R/3 System (Connection Type H)
Here, you can specify more settings for authentication in the target system.
The settings under Technical Settings and Special Options are the same as for connection type G. Under Logon/Security, the connection type H has additional logon procedures. As with external servers, you can activate and deactivate SSL and specify an authorization.
Because the target system is an SAP system, you can set the client and language for the logon as well as the user name and password. If you check Current User, you have to specify the password.
The following authentication procedures are available: Basic Authentication, SAP Standard, and SAP Trusted System, and SSL Client Certificate.
· HTTP Basic Authentication: Logon with user and password
· SAP Standard: This procedure uses an RFC logon procedure. The RFC Single Sign-On (SSO) procedure is valid within the one system. The same SAP user (client, language, and user name) is used for logon.
· SAP Trusted System: Trusted RFC logon to a different SAP system (see Trusted System: Maintaining Trust Relationships Between SAP Systems)).
· SSL Client Certificate: The SSL protocol enables you to use client certificates for the logon.
Type G/H (SM59)
Timeout:
When sending a HTTP request, you can use this parameter to specify the maximum response time for the connection.
HTTP Setting:
You can use the HTTP version to specify the protocol version of the HTTP request (HTTP 1.0 or 1.1).
Compression:
You can use this option to activate the gzip compression for the request body. This can only be activated in HTTP Version 1.1.
Compressed Response:
In the standard setting, the SAP Web Application Server sends the Accept Encoding field as a header field with the value gzip, if the application server can handle this compression. This notifies the partner that the caller can handle gzip decompression, and that the partner can send compressed data. If you want to prevent a compressed response being sent, choose the option No.
HTTP Cookie:
You can use this option to control the way received cookies are handled.
You can specify the following for cookies:
· Accept them automatically
· Reject them automatically
· Accept or reject them in a prompt
· Use a handler for the event IF_HTTP_CLIENT~EVENTKIND_HANDLE_COOKIE to process the cookies in the program.
· In the next section, you can read about the parallelization of requests.

Hi Yogi,
In your sceanario if you are looking to build either Enity or Application service then create it and test that service from "Service Browser". Once your service is working as per your reqyurements then we have to options to bring it into the Portal:
1. Generate Web Service for you Service (Entity or Application).
2. Consume that Web Service in WebDynpro application using Model concepts.
3. Deploy your WebDynpro Application into your portal Server.
4. Create a WebDynpro iView for your application and assign it any where you want.
OR
1. Generate WebDynpro model for your CAF application.
2. Create a public part for you application webdynpro project of your CAF application.
3. Create a new WebDynpro DC and use the Models generated for your CAF application.
4. Deploy your WebDynpro Application into your portal Server.
5. Create a WebDynpro iView for your application and assign it any where you want.
If you can give your complete scenario then that would be more helpful for any one to provide best answer which is approapriate for you.
Thanks,
Uday.

BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE - Bid Invitation Create - External System

There appears to be a SRM function and BAPI that can be used to create Bid invitation programmatically. They are: BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
Questions :
1. Is the BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE used if creating Bid Invitations from an external systems (i.e. ECC 5.0)?
2. If BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is not for this purpose, is BBP_PD_BID_CREATE the correct one to use?
3. For both BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE and BBP_PD_BID_CREATE when creating a Bid Invitation (the GUIDs are not yet created) the Item Long Text structure does not have item number included. It has the Item GUID but during a create you donu2019t know what it is.    Is the following the correct process for using this BAPI/function and if not, please correct?
Create the Bid Invitation:
     1. Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE   (do not provide the item long text or delivery schedule information)
     2. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT
Call the BAPI again with the GUIs returned in the E_ structures to update item long text and delivery schedules:
     3.   Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE    with known GUIs for the items or is there a different function to call for the change to add additional long texts to each item
     4. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT

Requirement has probably long gone and potentially you've resolved the problem but for the benefit of others;
In order to differentiate between Header and Item data within structure I_BID_TEXT you need to use field PARENT_GUID. The value here is not necessarily the parent of the BID Invitation but the parent of the text i.e. header or item.
for example;
I_BID_HEADER_CUST
PARENT_GUID
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C
I_BID_ITEMS
ITEM_GUID.............................................PARENT_GUID......................................ITEM_NUMBER
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C 0000000001
I_BID_TEXT
PARENT_GUID......................................TEXT..TEXT_LINE
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   HTXT   testing bidder text      -> Header Bidder Text
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   testing internal note   -> Header Internal Note

Create and Send Bid Invitation

Hello,
Newbie here, so thanks in advance for any help. We are in design phase and trying to figure out what's feasible or not. We want to automatically create a bid (RFQ) from an approved SC item. We then want to send this bid (RFQ) to our middleware (egate). Here are my questions:
(1) Can I create a bid in SAP EBP from the SC item, without setting up the Bidding Engine?
(2) Is creation of bid in SAP EBP, the same concept in R/3 backend, that is, I can view it via ME43 and it's stored in EKKO?
(3) Found several FM, what is the diference between BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE? Which one should I use for our purpose in (1) above?
(4) Then, there is the BADI, BBP_CREAT_RFQ_IN_DPE...this seems to be a user-exit connected with the Bidding engine, allowing the developer to change the bid?
(5) How can I send the bid (RFQ) automatically to the middleware within SAP EBP in XML format? Is this feature available in one of the FM in (3) above?
Thank you.
Regards,
Irene

Hi Irene Yu,
Good Quesitons. I will try to answer what i can.
1. You can create a Bid Inv in SAP EBP from the SC item. You do not set up Bidding Engine separately. It is part of EBP, you just need to enable the Sourcing/Bidding transactions, Assign Roles and Authorizations.
It is LAC, SUS, CCM, those are setup separately.
2. Creation of bid in SAP EBP, One part of RFQ functions, as the same concept in R/3 backend, but have much features than what you do in R/3.
3. The diference between BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
BBP_PD_BID_CREATE is used as parf of Bidding Functions, not an interface.
BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is an interface. You are trying to create Bid Invitation from external system, you should consider this interface.
4. Yes, there is the BADI, BBP_CREAT_RFQ_IN_DPE...this seems to be a user-exit connected with the Bidding engine, allowing the developer to change the bid inviatation in the background, Like other Doc Change Methods in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
5. How can I send the bid (RFQ) automatically to the middleware within SAP EBP in XML format? Is this feature available in one of the FM in (3) above? - I am sorry i do not understand this question.

Jay
