Supplier collaboration within CLM

Hi All,
One of the stages of a contract within CLM is "open for supplier review". What is required to allow supplier collab oration in the contract negotiation process, does this take place using SUS or is it a direct connection to CLM?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris
there is no connection with SUS for the scenaripo that you have mentioned
Plesae note that the contract lifecycle management has 3 parts
1) Contract Creation
2) Contract Negotiation and Approval
3) Contract Performance management
Once you create a contract or an MSA, the net step is to collaborate with the supplier, when you move the phase of the contract to "Open for supplier review", the supplier will get a workbench alert and also an email alert if configured with the SAP E-Sourcing Vendor portal link, once he logs into that he can view the contract that you have sent for supplier review->modification->acceptance, once the supplier accepts, he will accept the version of the document and the Buyer will login on the SAP ESourcing Buyside to check for the vendor response and then accept/reject. This way we will collaborate with the supplier in realtime.
Every vendor get a link published to them when you create the vendor, this is the linke that the vendor will click to view RFx, Auctions, Contracts etc to collaborate with the Buy side in SAP E-Sourcing
This has nothing to do with Supplier Self Services component of SRM.
Hope this clarifies
Please award points for useful answers

Supplier collaboration with SNC

Hi Gurus,
We intend to use Supplier collaboration with SNC, where plant will share component plan with supplier and supplier will comeback with constrained component plan and based on which plant will modify production plan.
These are the steps we have done:-
1) Created BP as Organization for Plant and Supplier
2) Created BP as person and assigned to plant and supplier respectively
3) Extended product to the supplier and created TLane
4) We are able to login into web portal for supplier view with login and password maintained.
issue are:-
1) We understand that, component forecast will come from APO and it will come to as demand. If we see Demand Tab and look at Order Forecast Monitor - > Order forecast details, it asks for selection of SKU and Location. If we select our SKU and vendor Location created, it says Invalid Selection......Not sure if we have missed anything.
2) When vendor will confirm the plan, which key figure he will modify?? which Tab we have to refer.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks,
jaideep

Hi Gurus,
Yes, the OSS helps and we are able to see product location in the Order Forecast details screen.
We are checking Key figure " Supplier Planned Receipt" which supplier will use to modify his plan against customer requirement.
Wondering this key figure is Non Editable for our case....then how supplier will enter his constraint plan?? Any help
Are we missing any customization to make key figures editable/non editable like Planning Book in standard APO?? plz help

Supplier Collaboration

Can you custom Supplier Collaboration?
One iView of Supplier Collaboration - Account Overview ( A WebDynpro application) - in Financial Reports the invoices are show who created the invoice and allow to suppliers to drill down and send a mail to them.....this link to email needs to be hidden.
How can we edit it that?

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.

Supplier Collaboration with SRM Bidding Engine

Hi All,
I'm looking at the SAP BIdding Engine with regards to supplier collaboration in the bidding process, my undertsanding is that SUS can be used for a single point of access for suppliers to submit their bids. I also understand that cFolders can be used to allow true collaboration in the bidding process i.e. review of bid, submit prices etc.
I have four questions around these scenarios
1. For collaboration in the sourcing process which is superior cFolders integration or SUS?
2. What is the advantages of SUS over cFolders in the sourcing process.
3. Could you use both products?
4. Can cFolders be used to pose questions from the supplier? i.e. a true sourcing process would usually be:
RFI > Supplier Info response > RFQ > Supplier pricing response
Cheers
Chris

1. Both has diff purposes. C-folder purpose is information exchange in terms of drgs, attachments, discussion etc.
so kind of technical exchange
whereas SUS forms common window for suppliers for collaberating with buyer co. for BI they can submit the price & conditions.
So kind of commercial exchange.
Superiority depends on the perspective
2. SUS you can use for odercollaberation also
i.e. for PO/SA from MM or EBP ,suppliers can
send responce
send ASN
post confirmation
post invoice
3. Yes

Planner role in Supplier Collaboration 4.0 (SRM 7.0)

Hi Experts,
I noticed, in SRM 7.0 supplier collaboration, we have a Planner (Supplier) role. This role gives access to 'Material Monitoring' area, where in Planner can lookup up-to-date stock inview and also can view inventory and planning information from ECC. Does anyone know the purpose of this function? What screens in ECC are they being extracted from? It appears these are Java Webdynpro IViews pre-delivered.
Thanks,
SG

Dear John,
Currently my client is upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0.
The following activities were performed along with the list as mentioned by you.
1. The business partner migration from time independent scenario in 4.0 to time dependent scenario in 7.0. The existing BPs in SRM 4.0 need to be migrated using TD_SWITCH report. Please refer note 1077616, 1228662, 810634 for more details.
2. FM BBP_USER_GET_ATTRIBUTES has become obsolette in SRM 7.0. Alternative FM is BBP_GET_ATTRIBUTES_AT03.
3. To migrate existing vendors from 4.0 to 7.0, report BBP_XPRA_ORGEH_TO_VENDOR_GROUP need to be run in SRM 7.0.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Aswini

Supplier collaboration with contract management

Hi All,
is there any functionality available in SRM to allow collaboration with suppliers for the contract management functionality within SRM?
I thinking of any possible integration via SUS?
Cheers
Chris

Hello Chris,
Use of cFolders can be one of the option, which version you are working on.
SRM supports integration with SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) cFolders 2.0 or higher. Once SAP PLM cFolders has been installed, purchasers can create a folder there to store information and share it with potential suppliers.

Handling Unit Management and supply areas with WM/control cycles

Dear all,
has anyone come across the issue how to handle a replenishment process for production with supply area within WM and Handling Unit Management?
Normally a supply area is being staged via control cycles. in the supply area, all storage units get lost (standard functionality as far as I know). When we post the GI, the components will be taken out of the supply area, backflushing is not allowed as far as I know.
Now: what happens if HUM is switched on? Do we have to enter a HU for these GI's as well? Or does the supply area keep the information of the SU/HU? I want to avoid that the users have to tell the system the HU no. for every screw they take/consume...
Thanks & regards
Christian

Hi,
(as already described,)
it is possible to use handling unit management together with lean
warehouse management. You activate handling unit management independent
from storage unit management (that is only possible in case of full-WM
as far as I know).
Only in case if storage location is full-WM- AND HU-managed the storage
unit management is always active and HU numbers are taken over as SU
numbers. In all other cases HUM and SUM are independent from each other
and number ranges must be set a way that they are not overlapping.

SNC5.1- How to Publish multiple line items in SNC Web UI (Supplier view)

Hi Experts,
I am working in SAP SNC Supplier Collaboration project. I have a scenario where i am trying to "Publish PO" for multiple line items in Web UI. I am able to confirm each PO line item and Save PO. But if i try to publish one line item at a time, then the system publishes the 1st line item and it does not allow me to publish the remaining PO line items.
All i can do is, Confirm and Save all line items, and then "publish" it at the end. In this way,i can view all the confirmed line items (POA) in SNC. But how do I Confirm/Save/Publish each PO line item?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
dmohite

Hi dmohite,
As the POC standard process Supplier should give confirmation for all PO items after confirmation of all items it should allow to Published the PO at Header level.
If supplier does not give confirmation for all items it should not allowed to Published the PO at Header level but you are able Published the PO at header level without confirmation of all PO items.
You can implement note no: 1320445 (manual implementation is required).
After implementation of this note without confirmation of all PO items it won't allow to publish the PO at header level.
Please let me know for any clarification.
Regards,
Nikhil

Supplier collab BP : Cache update

Hi,
In Supplier collaboration Business Package Cache update for master data
is not working.
Jco is created and configured.
Had a look in to the Backend System ECC and found from the trace that
Jco RFC user is executing the functional module but it is not updating
in the Portal.
Error in FI customization says" Could not read invoice document type
settings from database; contact the system administrator"
Please provide me some solution on this.

Would anyone have any suggestion for this problem.

Collaboration Server Software?

As a solution provider company, using a multi-user environment, collaboration is of course important. Allowing 'users' to see and text/chat with eachother is fundimental in a 3D environment.
Using Director 11.5 for the first time to create a 3D web-based environment, having control/ownership of the collaborative server software, so it can be deployed with the environment, and or, allowing your userbase use of your own collaborative server, I am confused how this is implimented in Director 11.5.
Our direction is to use a XMPP deployable server access to our userbase, or our own inhouse C based collaborative software. This controls 'Instances' of the environment to control the amount of users in an environment, and text/chat collaboration within each Instance, amongst other forms of functionality.
My question is... can we use our own collaborative server software, that meets the api's of Director for interactivity between instances of the environments, and control of those environments, for say password/username entry into those instances? Or are we bound to use only a bespoke collaboration system provided by Adobe/Director?

Check out http://opensmus.sourceforge.net/
"OpenSMUS is a server application that runs on Linux, Solaris, MacOSX, FreeBSD and almost any Java-enabled operational system. OpenSMUS is 100% compatible with the Shockwave MultiUser protocol published by Macromedia, so movies authored for the Shockwave MultiUserServer version 2 and 3 can connect seamlessly to an OpenSMUS server, without modifications."
Of note is that it connects to any DB via JBDC drivers, and can also link in with custom Java functions too - in addition to the Director communication.
