Substitute functionality in SRM

Hi ppl,
When we go to the approval tab, we have an option to add substittutes. When we click on substitute button there is a substitution type - Passive and Active.
My user wants only the Passive option to appear. They donot want to use Active option.
Please let me know if there is any possible solution for this.
Regards,
Dawood.

Hi,
Goto transaction SE80 and then Internet services.There enter the service name "BBPAPPROVAL".Under that service,you will find many HTML templates of which you need to make changes in the template "saplbw02_1328.html ".Look out for code for the links passive and active substitute.Take help of technical person from your team to make the necessary changes in the HTML template.Also activate and publish the ITS service again(after you make the changes) to see the new changes on the screen.
HTH.

  • Some question about the renegotiation function in SRM Contract (GOA)

    Hi All Expert,
    We are on SRM 5/4.6,  there is a question about the renegotiation function in SRM GOA.
    Can we renegotiate the price for some parts in the GOA items with this function ( e.g. Only renegotiate one item in the contract) ?
    Will the item price updated automatically after the renegotiation?
    Many thanks in advance!!!
        Wendrin

    Hi Sanjeev,
    Many thanks for your help.
    One more question, if I add a new item when we renegotiation, will it be transfered to contract and create a new item after that?
    Thanks and best regards

  • SUBSTITUTE Function and Quotation Marks

    How do you substitute another character for a quotation mark in a string using the SUBSTITUTE function? I want to change a string such as 12"x12"x2" to read 12x12x2. I have read the User Guide and the Formulas and Functions User Guide, but I cannot find a way to 'escape' the quotation mark so that it is interpreted literally. I tried the tilde, but that did not work either; and smart quotes is turned off. My UNIX skills are rusty. Is this possible in Numbers '09?

    Thank you very much! I had tried 3 quotes, but did not think to try 4 quotes; nor did I think of Googling an Excel solution. The logic of why this works escapes me, but it DOES work and I will have to remember this tip as well as how you found the solution. Again, thank you for providing a solution.

  • Mass approval functionality for SRM work items

    Hi,
    We want to implement mass approval functionality for SRM workflow, so that any user is able to approve/reject multiple requests at one go through UWL.
    Please guide if it is possible to implement this functinality for task id TS40007952.
    Regards,
    Avantika

    Hi Avantika,
    The mass approval functionality can be implemented for simple workflow items which have decisions to complete the work item. (User Decision Type)
    In SAP Business Workflow, user can define a task as a decision task by assigning DECISION as the underlying business object type. The task definition allows user to create two or more decision options to complete the task.
    The idea is to simply create a custom view/subview for the UWL item and configure it according to your needs.
    Have a look at this blog:
    Mass/Batch Processing of Work items in UWL
    and also check the documentation:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4e/72112bc9ea484196f2a5fdc68f5f5f/frameset.htm
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Substitute Function in Excel: Replace text with instance number in BO

    Hi,
    I have a column where data is merged from three other columns each text separated by "-". Ex: Services - Phoneline - New Customer.
    What I wanted to do is to just get the last text which is "New Customer" separated. I used "Length(<columnValue>)-Length(Replace(<columnValue),"-",""))" to get the number of instances of "-" in the text as it varies from 1 to 3.
    I use to do it in excel using substitute function where I have the facillity to use the character instance number. I don't know how to do this in Business objects.
    Please help...

    Good troubleshooting techniques.  Unless someone gets lucky with a wild guess, I suspect we cannot help without having the workbook to see the situation for ourselves.
    You can upload an example Excel file (devoid of any private data) that demonstrates the problem to a file-sharing website.
    Then post the "shared", "public" or "view-only" link (aka URL; http://...) in a response here.
    The following is a list of some free file-sharing websites; or use your own.

    I suspect that the problem has to do with either a mismatch in spacing or the presence of non-breaking spaces (HTML &nbsp) or other non-printing characters, notwithstanding your efforts to eliminate that possibility with your copy-and-paste experiments.

  • Central contract functionality in SRM 7.0?

    Dear Experts,
    I would like to have few clarifications about central contract functionality in SRM 7.0.
    As per understanding, from SRM 7.0, there is no two separate documents like local contract and GOA (global outline agreement--contract for backend ERP systems). Now, SRM have only one document -Central contract to be used in sourcing for various backend systems as well as the SRM system itself.
    Now, my question is as below:
    Since the central contract is released into various backend ERP systems, do the backend requisitions needed to be transferred to SRM system to use the central contract as a source of supply . or the backend requisitions can be assigned to the central contract in the ERP system systems itself (without sending it to SRM system ) and released to suppliers?
    Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

  • Partner Functions in SRM 4.0

    Hello All
    Is it Possible to have Partner functions implemented in SRM 4.0 ( EBP 5.0).
    We are using Extended classic scenario.
    Currently The Invoicing Parties are not being Replicated to SRM.
    When the Vendor presents invoice, the Remit to Address is usually different.
    So the A/P processor has to search with the address and Vendor Name,
    to find the correct Invoicing Party.
    Also Is there any change in ECC side, which can help the A/P processor to find the Invoicing Party with Ease.
    Any configuration in ECC, which can make this happen?
    Regards
    Kedar

    Hello All
    I went through a document by Kathirvel Balakrishnan posted in SDN articles, which provides step by step process
    for setting up vendor defined partner functions in SRM 5.5.
    I checked in our system that , some of the config steps mentioned in that document were not available.
    For e.g. "Define Partner Schema' was missing in our system.
    Hence we cannot carry out those settings.
    Even if we could, the sourcing cockpit in SRM doesn't provide the functionality to change the PO details except for a few basic things like Vendor, Price etc.
    I am looking for a definitive answer, whether partners can be implemented and sent thru SRM documents in extended classic scenario in SRM 4.0
    Regards

  • Invoice Functionality in SRM 4.0 Vs SRM 5.0

    We are evaluating the Invoice functionality in SRM 4.0. I know SAP has released Invoice Management System for SRM 5.0 but this can also be used for SRM 4.0. I wanted to know if there are any shortcomings in SRM 4.0 invoice functionality. Has anyone used SRM 4.0 for invoices? Any issues using it?... Any input is appreciated.

    Hi
    You may go thru the link given below, It will provide ultimate details on functionality and configuration with screen shots.
    http://www.ficoexpertonline.com/archive/Volume%2003%20(2004)/Issue%2005%20(May)/V3I5A1.cfm?session=
    However we have done one thing more than this that we have customized same number range in EBP for local Invoice. So when you have to trace any document you will find same number for Local invoice in EBP and in R/3 MM (LIV)and FI (Accounting Doc for MM)invoice.

  • Workaround for unsupported Excel Substitute() function?

    I have a cell being analyzed which stores user input and after a button is clicked i need to analyze the text in that cell and replace every carriage return "char(10)" with the string "%0D".  Excel's Substitute() function can do this in one shot for me, but it is not supported within Xcelsius.  I have tried the Replace() function but this only swaps the first occurance and does not fix all of them if multiples exist.
    I realize this can likely be done using an external script or .aspx but I was curious if it's possible to achieve this within the internal spreadsheet itself?  What I have done is copied the Replace() formula into 5 cells, each one referencing the cell before it in hopes that there are never more than 5 carriage returns that need to be replaced, but I was wondering if there's a more efficient/automatic way to do this.
    Considered posting this in an Excel forums but I have a feeling I would get a solution that involves another unsupported function.  Thanks for any help/answers.

    I don't know of any way to do this using only supported Excel formulas. The only ways I can think of would involve macros or an array formula.
    However if this is still relating to the email link you were enquiring about I have 2 possible solutions / workarounds.
    Solution 1:
    1. Inputbox for user suggestion with Destination cell set to A1
    2. A2 Contains the formula ="mailto:xATx.com?subject=Any Subject&body="&A1
    3. URL Button links to cell A2 as the URL ensuring that "Encode URL" is checked
    The above solution works correctly for me keeping all line breaks as they are typed. The "Encode URL" setting appears to be the key. This is using Xcelsius 2008 with Fix pack 3.3.
    Solution 2:
    A lot more complicated workaround more than a solution. This does effectively perform the same as the Substitute Function. I'll try to explain but without being able to attach an example my explanation may not make a great deal of sense.
    1. A1 is the Destination for the user input or cell containing text with line breaks
    2. Create an "input text area" object, check "enable HTML formatting" and set the default text as &lt;BR&gt;. Set the destination cell as A2 and check "insert data on load". Hide this item behind something so that it cannot be seen.
    3. Create a push button which copies the value from cell A1 to cell A3
    4. In cell A4 put the formula =NOT(ISERROR(FIND(A2,A3))) This returns TRUE if there are line breaks in the input text
    5. In cell A5 put the formula =IF(A4,REPLACE(A3,FIND(A2,A3),1,"%0D"),IF(A3="","",A3))  This replaces the first line break with %0D if appropriate
    6. Create a combo box component. Set the labels as cell A5, set the insertion type to label, set the destination to A3. Uncheck "Clear destination when no item is selected". Next on the behaviour tab set selected item type to Label and Item to Cell A5. This now copies the results of the formula back to Cell A3 if it changes.
    7. If you now input any text in the input box and click on the push button both cells A3 and A5 will replace all occurrences of CHAR(10) with "%0D"
    Personally I think this workaround may be a little tricky to get working exactly as you like... but it 'should' work.
    I should note that this can be used as a substitute replacement by ignoring step 2 and instead typing the text to be replaced in cell A2 and the formula in cell A5 should be =IF(A4,REPLACE(A3,FIND(A2,A3),len(A2),"%0D"),IF(A3="","",A3)) where %0D is the text to replace with.
    Hope this helps and makes sense,
    Paul

  • Availability Functionality in SRM 5.0

    Hi all,
    Can any body tell me more about the "Availability functionality" in SRM 5.0? What is the corresponding function module in SRM?
    Also, the settings that needs to be done in R/3 backend system.
    Your replies will be awarded.

    Hi Azad,
    If you could tell me what are all settings that needs to be in R/3 backend system then it would be helpful.

  • Approval Substitution Functionality in SRM portal.

    Hi All,
    We need to activate approval substitution scenario with respect to PO and shopping cart. But the standard workflow seems to be having an issue with validation. It doesn't validate the substitute and accept any substitute irrespective of its PO value limit. We developed a function module which checks the PO value limit for the substitute with respect to the approver. But the problem is we could not link the function module to the portal as we are unaware of BHTML code and the process of implementing it.
    Our requirement is to have the validation in portal and not in the SRM system. The client recommended us to go for a change in the ITS object of approval BBPAPPROVAL. We are also not sure about modifying ITS object.
    Would request you to kindly give us suggestions about proceeding in this scenario. Also if you have some standard codes kindly send us across.
    Regards,
    Koushik

    Hi Koushik,
    I assume you are creating the "Inbox Substitution" from portal.
    Goto SE80 - Select Function Group - and give BW02. In that you have screens - go to 1382 screen.
    Goto Module 1328_handle_action.
    Goto Perform 1328_Handle_Substitution.
    Goto Perform d1328_find_deputies.
         This is the sap standard code which gives list of users based on the search criteria when we create substitution in portal.
    gt_deputies is the standard internal table which stores the user list.
    I have used "Enhancement Operations" and created a custom code to delete the users from gt_deputies who are having less than the approval limit of the user who is trying to create the substitute.
    So the final gt_deputies table will have only the users who are having approval limit more than the user who is creating the substitute.
    Basically, the code written in enhancement gets executed after the standard sap code is executed. In this way we are not modifying the standard code but restrict the output list of the sap table using our enhanced code.
    I am not aware of the ITS object specified by your client.
    Regards,
    PR.

  • Partner function in SRM and R3

    hi  Experts,
    we are having SRM 7.0.(ECS).we have a requirement as mentioned below.
    We maintain multiple Ordering adress(OA),IP in R3 for a vendor master.When we replicate this vendor ro SRM.we dont ahve this data copied to BP in SRM?
    But we have a provision of definfing New partner fucntion and Partner schema in SRM.Can we link these partner functions with the ones in R3? If we configure the parnter functions and partner schema in SRM ,then we replciate vendors . At this time will the partner functions be transferred?
    How can we use the partner function facility in SRM?
    please send us your valuable points.
    regards
    subhash

    Hi Subhash,
    Business Process is as follow:                                                                               
    1. In ECC vendor has Ordering Partner, using standard functionalities        
    2. When a user is creating a Scheduling Agreement in ECC using these         
    vendors, the system is proposing the list of Ordering Address to be          
    selected                                                                     
    3. We replicate the Vendor Master Data from ECC to SRM                       
    4. In the replication the relationship between Vendor and Ordering           
    Address is lost, but these are creating as two separated BP                  
    5. When the user creates a contract in SRM using one of this vendor,         
    there is no proposal about the Ordering Address, only way is insert          
    manually in the Partners TAB in Header (but no search help is provided,      
    all the vendor are shown).                                                   
    In SRM we do not have the option of selecting the Invoicing party or      
    Ordering address for a Purchase Order. This works only in R/3.                                                                               
    So the idea of maintaning the invoicing parties relationship for a        
    vendor does not have a neccessity.In SRM each of these Invocing parties   
    are replicated as BP and you can select the respective BP in the PO       
    depending on your preference for the invoicing party.      
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew
