Substitute functionlity SRM 7

Hi all,
We are on SRM 7.0.1.
I ahve few questions regarding te team purchasing functinality:
Is it same as the SUBSTITUTE functionality in SRM 5?
If we need to maintain substiututes for approvers of shoppign cart,can we do it in SRM 7 through report RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE?
Also through team prucahsing,can I ony process the cart or can I also approve the cart as a team purchasing member?

Hi
Team Purchasing Functionality is for GR substitute and not for approval of Shopping Cart
Thanks

  • Approver set a Substitute in SRM 7.0

    Hi experts,
    we use the process controlled n-level workflow with setting output limit and approval limit (extended attriibutes) and assigned the slapprover (attributes). The workflow find all approver step by step up the organizational hierarchy and works fine.
    If an approver likes to go on holiday he can set a substitute approver. If I execute function: Manage Substitution Rules and create a substitution rule I can select and assign each user in the system. In this case I assigned an employee of th approvers department - 1 level down the hierarchy -  as the substitute.
    1. Our Business Requirement
    It should not be possible to select and assign an user as a substitute approver who is assigned down the organizational hierarchy of the approver.
    2. Substitute creates a shopping cart
    As described in (1) the approver is the first manager of the substitute. If I create a shopping cart with the substitute user the shopping cart goes into approval and the system determines the original approver who setted the subsitute and is on holiday.
    Kind Regards

    Hi Salavat,
    I have done the same.
    I can see the entries in the DB table, but on the screen of the quotation I always see an empty table. I have checked everything 1000 time... no change - very frustrating.
    Do you have found a solution for this meanwhile?

  • How SRM Substitute in UWL can be sc and Po seperatly insted of Standard ALL

    we are using Universal work list in SRM 7.01
    As per Requirement Manage Substitution need document wise like Shopping cart. .when we activated the shopping cart specific Substitution Rule only Shopping cart Tasks should be Shared to Nomine. Not other tasks PO,GR,invoice....etc .Standard supports All Tasks. How can this possible?

    Hello,
    put a break-point inside RH_INBOX_VIEW_CREATE function module.
    Here, you will see WI for excluded agents are deleted for substitutes. You could here add your own logic to exclude substitute(s) for tasks not linked to business object BUS2121.
    You will also have to manage to not send approval mail to substitutes. For these, use RECIPIENTS_GET method from BBP_OFFLINE_APP_BADI BAdI definition name.

  • SRM Active Substitute and Approval Email

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone could help with an issue I have for SRM Approvals.  I have Two shopping carts set up that have had an approval email sent to a user.  This user though is not on site so I have set up and Active substitute for the User.
    I now need to restart the Approval workflow for the two shopping carts which should in theory send out approval emails to the User in question but to their substitute as well.
    Does anyone know how I can do this within SRM I am completely stuck - any help would be appreciated
    Regards

    Hi,
    There are several solutions. I think forwarding the workitem is easy one.
    1. Administrator forwards the workitem in SWIA transaction
    2. Set passive substitute by admin. Program RMPS_SET_SUBSTITUTE. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8d/25f558454311d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    3. Implement offline approval
    4. Model deadline handling

  • Substitute via UWL in SRM Portal

    Hi gurus,
    We have an requirement with the SRM portal
    When a user tries to set up a substitute via UWL,  if the user trying to create a substitute has an approval role in SRM, the portal will only allow it if the user they want to assign is also an approver in SRM.
    Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

    I don't think there is a std way.

  • 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.

  • Sy-tcode No Longer Exist in SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts,
    Right now we are doing a Upgrade from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0.
    In SRM 4.0 there is lot of code written with system variables like sy-tcode & sy-ucomm.
    I could do workaround of some system variables. But for
    If sy-tcode EQ 'BBPSOCO001' i could not found any replacement so that it can work with SRM 7.0 as it is.
    Can you suggest how i can replace If sy-tcode EQ 'BBPSOCO001'  with SRM 7.0 compatible code.
    Best Regards
    Puneet

    Note 1334202 - How to get current action ID and transaction group
    some work around by SAP in the above note.
    Within the ITS UI technology used in older SRM releases, system control variables like SY-TCODE and SY-UCOMM were used in customer BAdI implementations to retrieve information of the environment of the BAdI call.
    Since WebDynpro technology has in contrast to the SAPGUI technology no access to theses system variables, this Note describes a workaround to substitute the usage of these variables.

  • Rejection of Shopping Cart created as shop on behalf in SRM

    I have an issue regarding shop on behalf in SRM
    A shopping cart is created as shop on behalf and needs approval from a manager. If the manager rejects it, then the shopping cart is returned to the user that has been shopped on behalf of – not the user who did the shop on behalf. Is there a way to change this?

  • Reg. CIN related excise capture for a SRM PO and goods receipt in R/3.

    Hello Gurus,
    We are on SRM 4.0 and have extended classic scenario.
    For Country India Roll out, we want to capture excise manually in R/3 once an SRM Goods confirmation from an SRM PO is posted to R/3 system as a goods receipt.
    We also tried manually capturing the excise for a goods receipt in R/3
    created from a SRM goods confirmation BUT
    "BUT in R/3 ECC system, Even if we capture the Excise manually, it is not getting offset during invoice posting."
    Can you assist us in how can we do this from R/3 itself.
    I mean to say if for a SRM PO we do goods confirmation in SRM and once that is replicated to R/3 system, now if we capture the excise manually in R/3 ECC system then as of now it is not getting offset during invoice posting, how to resolve this issue, request you to kindly assist and detail us on how we can successfully capture excise and do invoicing correctly for a SRM PO (Extended Classic Scenario) and SRM confirmation in R/3 system itself.

    Hi,
    Vendor Sub range functionlity is mainly used for alternative Partner data control likes multiple currencies, purchasing data, FOB,Min order values and partners data.
    In your case you have maintained different locations for a vendor using the vendor sub range. Based on the line item vice system received the locations in MIGO. Any have your order will send to single main vendor. VSR allow different purchasing and partner data controls not different vendor.  Once you have chose the VSR code in PO item vice FOB locations changed.
    Thanks,

  • Central substitution  in SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts,
    Is Central substitution  possible in SRM 7.0?
    For Example I am administrator and I want to add a  person for substitution to any user.
    When yes,  where can I do it?
    Best Regards,
    Evgeny.

    Hi Muthu,
    What do you mean?:
    1. Admin can set a rule for his UWL workitemlist aswell, so yes the admin can set substitutes/forwarding for his incomming workitems.
    2. Can the admin also set approval substitute rules? -> He can't via any SRM transactions, maybe via the UWL administrator a rule can be set for someone other then his own user
    Kind regards,

  • Item text and item note are not transfering from SRM to ECC on to PR

    Hello Expers!!!
    Due to some requirement we added some logic in BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW to print the used ID of the shopping cart creator on PR under item text requisitioner tab. but after moving these changes to production the item text(Vendor text) and item note(internal note) which are maintained in the shopping cart are not printing on the Purchase requisition under item text and item note tabs. these two texts were printing correctly before moving our changes.
    please suggest me how this item note and item text will print on PR. Is it a standard functionlity in SRM 5.0?
    is this because of move over changes?
    suggest me to resolve the issue....
    thanks in advance...

  • Display approval substitutes in approval preview

    Hi,
    we have the following scenarion in SRM 4.0:
    1.
    Approver A assigns Approver B as an active substitute
    Approver A assigns Approver C as a passive substitute
    2.
    Requsitioner creates a Shopping Cart where Approver A is the approver.
    3.
    Requsitioner enters approval preview and Approver A is displayed as approving manager
    Questions is:
    Is there any way of displaying that Approver B is setup as an active substitute and that
    Approver C is a passive substitute?
    There is a function module BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVAL_SIMULATE where approvers are saved to a table et_adhoc_agents
    Perhaps this table could be "looped" through and for each approver, add a line if there exist any substitutes.
    I heard about a function module that retrieves substitutes when provided a userid, is this any FM like this?
    Possible other solutions?
    I have a feeling that this might be solved by using standard SAP functionality, perhaps someone knows anything about this?
    Thanks for all future help!
    Kind regards,
    Teodor

    Hi,
    There is one Function Module which is used for retrieveing the substitutes available for a specific user.
    this is not SRM Function module , but is used in SRM.
    FM is
    RH_SUBSTITUTIONS_GET
    ---> with import parameters
    USER_TYPE                       US           
    USER_NAME                          
    SEARCH_DATE                    
    ACT_PLVAR                                    
    READ_ONLY_ACTIVE                X            
    USER_TYPE IS ALWAYS   US
    USER_NAME IS INPUT FOR THE USER
    SEARCH_DATE IS THE DATE ( EACH SUBSTITUTE WILL HAVE START DATE AND END DATE).
    READ_ONLY_ACTIVE = X RETRIEVES ONLY ACTIVE APPROVERS AND
    READ_ONLY_ACTIVE = EMPTY RETRIEVES BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE APPROVERS ON GIVEN DATE.
    >
    THIS FM YOU HAVE TO USE WHEN THE APPROVAL PREVIEW IS SHOWN IN SRM.

  • Workflow applet in approval preview (shopping cart) changed in SRM 5.0

    Hi,
    we have upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0.
    The approval preview in the shopping cart transactions (f.e. BBPSC03) now shows only the approval state (in grahpic mode), not the step description from the workflow definition.
