Team shopping cart and Shopping on behalf

Dear Experts,
What is the difference you have observed between team shopping cart and Shopping on behalf?
Do you observe differences other than the below ones:
1. Team shopping cart can be taken over by any one in the team defined in the substitution of the creator in any stage (including even draft stage) so that the team members can enhance the shopping cart and take over it in the absence of the creator.
However, 'Shopping on behalf' does not offer the same flexibility. In absence of the shopping cart creator, the original requestor (shop for) can just have receive or confirm the delivery in the shopping cart.
Do you see any other differences other than the above ones?
Regards,
Ranjan

Hello Ranjan
Please find the answer below:
In both team purchasing and shopping on behalf of other users, a person other than the requester is involved in processing the shopping cart. However, the two functions are used in different situations:
If someone shops on behalf of another user, typically a single person works with the shopping cart from the start of the requisitioning process. For example, a purchasing assistant or secretary creates a shopping cart for a manager and follows the process through until the confirmation or invoice is created. Only the person on whose behalf the shopping cart is created can take over the shopping cart or the follow-on documents.
In team purchasing, any user who is defined as a procurement substitute can take over the shopping cart. Within this process, several users can be involved and can take over the team shopping cart from each other. This can be useful, for example, in the following situations:
An employee leaves the company, and the successor later takes over this person's responsibilities.
An employee is sick, and a colleague takes over the shopping cart.
A team of employees works in shifts, and a shopping cart that is time-critical must be processed by a colleague working in a different shift.
Well, the reference to this answer is:

Team shopping Cart,Personal and public template in SRM 7.0

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0,
Can someone help me in understanding the below:-
The questions are the following:
-     What is the difference between u201CPersonal tamplatesu201D and u201CPublic templatesu201D?
-     What is the meaning of u201CTeam shopping cartu201D?
-     How can the personal templates, public templates and team shopping carts be created and maintained, so they can searched for at a later point in time?
Thank you in advance,
Regds,

Hi,
SRM does not use the term "personal template" and "public template" for Shopping Cart.
There is "Shopping Cart template" which is like public template context.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/EN/45/e55096554c0b00e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Old SRM version had personal template but it is no longer required. "Old Shopping Cart and Template" search is available now.

What is the difference between 'Shopping cart' and 'Team cart'

Hi,
   There a knowledge about 'Team Cart' in SRM 7.0 .I want to know what is the difference between 'Shopping cart' and 'Team cart'?
   Thank you !
   best Regards

Hi,
SRM self-service procurement and requisitioning process was generally focused on the requestor and goods recipient. SAP SRM 7.0 introduces the new 'team' approach.
Team purchasing enables users to:
Define their own procurement substitutes
Make shopping carts accessible to substitutes
Substitutes (team members) are able to:
Search for and take over team shopping carts
Create follow-on documents (such as confirmations) for team carts they have taken over

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?

Hi
You need to customize you SRM Business Workflow in this case.
Please use the following useful links to refer in this case.

Shop on behalf and limit items on BBPSC02

Hi experts,
We are on SRM 5.0 using classic scenario.
Is it possible to activate the 'shop on behalf' function and order limit items using BBPSC02? If yes, how?
Kind Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
You can Shop on Behalf of other person even though you are in classic scenario.
I think this functionality is scenario independent.
The only difference here is instead of creating a P.O in SRM the system will create either a P.R or P.O in back end R/3 based on the completeness of shopping cart.
As far as limit items are concerned i have never tried a scenario like this but you can surely do Shop on behalf in classic scenario.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

Team shopping cart functionality in SRM 7.0

Dear Experts,
Could you please help me to understand how team shopping cart is different from shopping cart created by individual requestor?
I have checked some existing team shopping cart in our test system. The only difference I observed is that in case of team shopping cart, the receipient is an org unit.
The org unit being a receipient, all the employees of the org unit can see the shop in their inbox.
Am I correct? If It is so, what other differences such shopping cart with a shopping cart requested by an individual?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Team concept in Team shopping cart functionality?

Dear Experts,
What does 'Team' Concept indicates in team shopping cart functionality in SRM 7.0?
As per my understanding, if a purchaser creates a team shopping cart, it can be taken over by other members of the purchasing group to which the creator belongs?
Is it correct? What are the other scenarios of team shopping cart? If a team shopping cart is used in a project scenario so that a member of the project group creates a shopping cart, the same shopping cart can be viewed and edited by other members of of the project. How we can implement such scenarios with team shopping cart?
Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Need for more flexibility in deciding who can edit shopping carts and do GR

Hello,
Running ECS SRM 5.0
As far as I know, there are two options when it comes to who can edit and change shopping carts and also do goods receipt.
These two options are controlled by roles. The normal is that you can only do this with documents created by you, or you can do this for all documents by using admin role and central receiver.
My business needs more flexibility here. We want to have ie one person in each organizational unit that can edit SC and do GR for everybody in his unit (and only there).
Is there a way this can be controlled, i.e. in a badi?
I know about shop on behalf of and that is a workaround that we can use, but I am looking for a more smooth solution

SRM Fiori showing blank My SHopping Cart and error in Approve Shopping Cart

Hi Experts
We are implementing SAPUI5 MyShoppingCart Services embedded deployment with:
-ehp 3 for sap srm 7.0 sp07
-netweaver 7.4 sp07
-gateway 2.0
we implemented three apps - Tracking SC, Approve and My SC
we're getting good display in Tracking SC,
however, we have blank screen for both My Shopping Cart and Approve SC (even though there are items for approval in SRM)
see below screenshots
Tracking SC Screen
Approve SC Screen
My Shopping Cart
is there a table in backend SRM that will verify the products that should be diplayed in My SC screen?
we only have product master data imported as of now using tcode /SRMNXP/CAT01.
should there be buttons already available in the My SC screen even if there's no available products?
Also what configs could be missing for Approve app?
thanks in advance.

Is anybody able to resolve this problem? We are having similar issues where nothing is displayed on My Shopping Cart, Track Shopping Cart and Approve Shopping Cart. We have been struggling for more than a week now. If you were able to solve then problem could you please share with us-
1. Are there any backend settings that need to be done?
2. We do not have any external catalog hence we have not installed MDM or TREX. We would like to just search our internal Material/Services Master catalog in the shopping cart. Are there any special settings to achieve this.
3. We are not even able to see any navigation tabs on UI5 screens. For the basic shopping cart to display are there any settings anywhere or any notes to be installed?

How to technically distinguish Shop on behalf and substitution

Dear All,
I am unable to distinguish ( by coding ) Shop on behalf and Substitution. Whenever I am doing Substitution, the approval list is showing Shop on behalf. Additionally the initial approver is not getting deleted. The substitute approver is adding into the list.
Please suggest.
Best wishes,
Atanu Dey

Hi,
Inbox substitute information is stored in the table HRUS_D2.

Adding Custom Field to Shopping Cart and PO, Classic Scenario

We are running SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 as the backend and using the Classic scenario. I want to add a custom field to the shopping cart and have the data transfer over to a custom field (of the same name) on the purchase order to the ECC side. I have already added the field to the shopping cart and have the data saving successfully there on the SRM side. What I am having trouble with is getting the data from the custom field to go over to ECC on the purchase order.
I have extended the Shopping Cart and Purchase Order item structures through configuration on SRM. This has added the fields to the INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_PO structures, as described in note 672960 (do i need to extend the PO structure on SRM if using the Classic scenario?). I have also extended the CI_EKPODB and CI_EKPODBX structures on ECC as described in note 458591. So the placeholders are there.
I feel like there must be something I am missing. The OSS note 458591 suggests that just adding the fields to the needed structures will cause the data to transfer, but this does not appear to be the case.
I have an implementation of BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW that I can use, but do not see where to add the data in the output parameters of that BADI. Is there a BADI I need to implement on the ECC side?
Any help in this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Dug around a little bit more and stumbled onto this article which solved it for me: [How to transfer custom fields from SRM to ECC|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20b36c12-685f-2c10-4fb4-ba2e0b969c27?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
In BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW I had to add some code to fill in the CS_PO1_DOCUMENT-EXTENSIONIN parameter table with the structure for the BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM structure on the ECC side. The tricky part is creating a string representation of that structure with the correct offset. And it isn't as easy as just counting up the number of characters in SE12. For example, looking at my BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM structure in SE12, my custom field appears to start on character 157, but in reality, I had to offset the writing of my value to character 143. I guess it depends on what types are in there.
But once that gets figured out, it works well. As long as the custom field is added correctly to the CI_EKPODB append structure (which is appended to BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM), the data gets tranferred over in the ExtensionIn table, and SAP automatically knows what to do with the data as long as you have everything in ExtensionIn aligned correctly.
Thanks for the help everyone!

Add customer fields in Shopping cart and purchase order

Hi,
I have to add fields(moder of transport, country origin, country destination and more) in Shopping cart and purchase order in SRM system and remotle i have to update the same data in R/3 System.
could you please guide how to add the fields in screen.
regards
Shakeer

Hi
We have done this type of requirement several times in our previous SRM Implementations.
You need to create an Append Structure in the Standard Structure to create the custom fields in your case.
Refer this link below for details.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21eb61446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Define the fields of the append structure. You can proceed as when creating a normal structure with two restrictions (see Creating Structures).
The fields of an append structure must lie in the customer namespace, that is the field names must begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/5b/c9df3b6ac34b44e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/28/857a1867b52e4f8472c5d49209a675/frameset.htm
BBP_CUF_BADI_2 BADI will be used to control the properties (hide/unhide, input/output enable or disable) for those customer fields you created in the above append structures.
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for defaulting or modifying the customer field contents, incase required.
BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI for issuing customer messages for the customer field contents (incase data is entered incorrectly) , incase required.
Let me know incase you face any issues.

Link Between Shopping Cart and RFx SRM

Hi all,
We have a reporting requirement in BI/BW to merge Shopping Cart and RFx data -- e.g. how many Shopping carts got converted to RFx..etc
I can use Transaction Code bbp_pd and see that the links are available between Shopping cart and RFx.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two tables CRMD_ORDERADM_H and CRMD_ORDERADM_I contain information regarding individual process, but not the link between the two.
Do you know the underlying tables that contain the 'link' between the two processes.
Appreciate your help!

Hi Aishwarya,
in addition to Ivy's recommendations.
if you call BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL - you should be able to get all the links in the tables
E_HEADER_REL
E_ITMLIM_REL
After, you can call
BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL to get info for RFX

hello Smriti
I will try help you with your two problems.
Question 1. "I activate BC-Set in process control workflow and create Shopping cart, Still status is Awaiting Approval and when i check in BBP_PD the workitem (its blank) no workitem assigned."
this problem is because the customizing not is correct. Follow this steps:
1.- SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Select Workflow Framework
Check that Process-controlled workflow is active for all business objects
2.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Customize SAP Business Workflow Automatically
Execute step by step. is aut.
3.-Execute transaction SWDD; check that workflow WS40000014 exists...
4.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Generalize Tasks
execute task for default
5.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Check Task Generalization
check it "/SAPSRM/WF_CFG"
6.- SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Copy BRF Objects
class SRM_WF ; all objects; COPY
7.-execute transaction SCPR20 and active /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_000_SP04
8.- TEST NOW
Question 2: "Create Shopping Cart and approve forcefully with Swo1 and now its in ordered Status but no follow on Document created,........When i goto RZ20(Shopping Basket) to analyze it , The system says Local Errors.............Shopping cart 3000000012: Error creating the follow-on document"
CHECK this point of customizing, here is where you must indicate to system that follow on document create for the shopping cart...exist several options...
SAP Supplier Relationship Management->SRM Server->Sourcing->Define Sourcing for Product Categories
