Two envelope bidding

Hi All,
Two envelope bidding is available in SRM PPS and also in SRM 7 ehp1.
Pls suggest what is the best option choosing which one to go for, if our requirement is to use bidding with two envelope.
Abdul Raheem

Hi Abdul,
You can use the Two Envelop bidding directly in 7.01 by activating the business function - SRM_SOURCING_1. This will create  new node in customizing - Extended RFx.
For PPS the customer needs to buy a license. You can go through the help link below to see if PPS has anything extra to offer based on your requirement that can't be fulfilled otherwise.

  • SRM two Envelope Bidding

    Does anyone knows whether we can open both Technical and Pricing envelope in one Open Date and Time instead of approving Technical Document first and then open Pricing envelope.
    In a nutshell, we are using SRM 7.0 with PPS add on and like to use two envelope bidding, but does not want to approve technical first to see the price. We want to open both at same time and date. Please help.
    Thanks
    Anita

    Hi Anita
    SRM PPS module's one of majaor advantage is Two Envelope Tenders where we can oen the technical bid first, analyse & only for technically accepted bids the Price/commercial bid will be opened.
    If you don't want to use this functionality than you have the option to create a SIngle BID where the vendor will quote both technical & commercial details.
    Both above described cases are SRM standard functionalities available in SRM 7.0 only.
    Choice is your's. I hope I was able to address your querry.

  • Two envelope bidding error

    Hello ,
    We are on SRM 7 EHP1 .
    Netweaver Portal Version 7.3
    We are trying to implement Two envelope bidding
    I have a purchaser role and when i try to create a two envelope Rfx, I am able to open.
    After the Rfx gets opened , when i click on Technical Rfx , i was getting an error like No Iview available for system SAP_SRM object "TechResp".
    I consulted my portal consultant and he replaced my SRM 7 Strategic Purchaser with SRM 7 Ehp1 Strategic purchaser
    Now when i click on Technical Rfx , the error is not repeating but a blank screen appears.
    I have followed all the configuration given in the below
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm701/helpdata/en/a7/ea98848f574388ab21778ddb306c4b/frameset.htm
    Thanks
    Aditya

    Thanks Sam for your inputs but i have already made all the settings mentioned in the cfolder settings link that you shared.
    I wanted to check if there are any more cfolder settings which needs to be taken care apart from what is mentioned in the link.
    Just to give you more information , our cfolders is defined in the SRM system itself. So i have created an RFC which points to SRM itself and leaving the user name and pwd blank in the Logon data tab of RFC connection but  for  point no. 3 where it is mentioned that RFC user must be given the SAP_CFX_USER role , since i have no RFC user , I couldnt assign any roles.
    Is this correct ?
    And in the config step , Basic data for Technical RFX Response folders , where the default five folders related to two envelope bidding are listed, these should get created as soon as the Purchaser clicks on Technical rfx as per the help.sap documentation but in my case , it is not redirecting to the Cfolder collaboration room.
    Want to also check that  in Portal, are there any Cfolder roles or any other role which needs to be given to the Purchaser ?
    To summarize the steps i have done till now.
    1. Have performed the two envelope bidding config steps mentioned below.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm701/helpdata/en/a7/ea98848f574388ab21778ddb306c4b/frameset.htm
    2. Have performed the Cfolder settings mentioned in the below link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/43/143d2e25fc2be8e10000000a1553f7/content.htm
    3. In SRM GUI,
    Have assigned Purchaser with
    a.Strategic Purchaser EHP1 role
    b. SAP_CFX_USER
    c. SAP_CFX_ADMINSTRATOR
    In Portal , have assigned Purchaser with
    a. Strategic Purchaser EHP1 role
    And Hi Lalit, Good to hear from you. Thanks for your inputs . Your points 1 and 3 have already been taken care.
    I tried adding the Cfolder link to the ITS_DEST but it didnt help. Can you help me with any more pointers.
    Thanks

  • Two part Bidding and cFolder

    Hi friends,
                   We are using SRM 7.0 with PPS. I have configured cFolder for Two Part Bidding.  I am facing problems for Opening Technical Bid. Before opening date and time I am able to access files attached by vendor through cFolder. Is there any provision to give Opening date and time in cFolder. Am I missing any configurations?
    Please suggest me.
    Regards,
    Abhijeet

    Thanks Saeid Hasani & Dan Guzman for the information.
    Dan, to answer your question "Why you need schemabinding here". This function is used in a computed column, I want that computed column to be
    PERSISTED, and as far as I know all functions used to compute the value of a computed column have to be deterministic if we want that column to be
    PERSISTED, and what I know also is that if we want to convert a function to deterministic we have to add
    WITH SCHEMABINDING in
    the function definition ...
    So is there a way to make this function deterministic without
    WITH SCHEMABINDING ?
    OR is there a way to make a computed column
    PERSISTED without its functions to be deterministic ?

  • Cfolder in two envelope rfx

    Dear SAP SRM Guru's,
    I want to ask about cfolder in two envelope process, i configured cfolder base on sap help, and what i read in SCN
    The process that i understand are:
    1. Purchaser with role SAP_CFX_USER and SAP_CFX_COMP_CREATOR, create RFX, automatically a in cfolder system will create a folder called a technical details in collaborative scenario,
    - My question are : can we automatically change the name of the folder? or we have to change it manually?
    2. after the rfx publish, the bidder with role SAP_CFX_USER will create the technical rfx response, the cfolder system will automaticallly create a folder in the technical detail folder created by the purchaser, the folder will be name based on username bidder, maybe the structure will be like below
    -Technical Details
    -- Technical_bid
    --- Supplier2
    ---- Tech_bid
    My problem for this process are :
    - when i log on using the bidder user, i cannot see the technical details folder, so after that i log on using adminstrator, and gave authorization to the bidder user in Technical Details, after that i can see the technical detail folder, is it the correct way to use the cfolder? so i have to gave authorization manually to the bidder?
    - may next problem is when i have two bidder, the bidder can see other bidder folder, is it the behaviour or there something i miss?
    can someone help me?

    Hello Aditya,
             Answering your questions one by one...
    1. Can we change the Folder name "Technical Details"?
              Yes , we can. This is set via the code in class /SAPPSSRM/CL_TECHBID_CFOLDER method /SAPPSSRM/IF_TECHBID_CFOLDER~CREATE_BI. In this there is a call
    CALL FUNCTION '/SAPPSSRM/META_CREATE_COLLAB'
         EXPORTING
           i_folder_name      = /sappssrm/if_tendering_const=>gc_cfx_name
         IMPORTING
           e_faultstring      = lv_cfx_faultstring
           e_collaboration_id = e_collaboration_id
           e_public_area_id   = e_public_area_id
           e_root_folder_id          = e_root_folder_id
         EXCEPTIONS
           no_logical_system_defined = 1
           OTHERS                    = 2.
    The constant /sappssrm/if_tendering_const=>gc_cfx_name is the "Technical Details" is the name and you can change the name by performing the enhancements here.
    2. Do you need administrator to provide access to folders for bidder?
          No certainly not required. Generally at RFX Response creation system will provide read/write authorizations to the bidders for specific folders. This is handled in the code and you would not require an Administrator intervention here.
    3. Bidder having access to other folders?
        This is a result of your manual assignment. The standard code ensures none of this happens.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Veera

    Hi,
    I would like to know if SRM7.0 standard has this option, or i have to activate Procurement for Public Sector Functions (SRM_PPS)
    ->You have to activate PPS Function.
    If i activate this option, i will have troubles with no Public sector companies?
    ->No you will not have any problem with SRM basic functionality. PPS will just offer you additional functionalities.
    Can i use this function to other kind of business or only for Public Sector companies?
    ->It depends upon requirement. You can use the way you like. But as name states these are special features provided in SRM.

  • Security deposit or earnest deposit money in tendering process

    Dear Experts,
    Our client is planning to use two envelope bidding process along with tender fee and earnest deposit money/security deposit fee. They are going for SRM 7.01 along with ECC6.0 Ehp5. I get to know that along with SRM7 ehp1, SAP has retrofitted two envelope bidding process into standard SAP SRM.
    Does it support tender fee and earnest deposit money in the two envelope bidding process in the stabndard SAP SRM 7.01 or the client has to go for SAP PPS for using the two different fee submission by vendors?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi,
    Yes, SRM 7.01 could suppot the both Security deposit and earnest deposit money in tendering process,
    So that, no need to go for PPS

  • PI/XI for Tendering functionalities

    We have a requirement for simple bidding with C-folders (tendering process) in SRM (Two-Stage:Two-Envelope bidding procedure) but we dont have PI/XI. is it possible to do this functionalitiy in SAP SRM 7.0 without PI/XI ?
    Regards

    I am fairly certain this can be achieved with RFC technology without having to involve PI/XI.

    Simultaneous Logon at RFx Response Opening
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm702/helpdata/EN/38/37aa392d61407089454548b98355a8/content.htm
    Also as far as I am aware, by default, simultaneous logon is only available for RFXs with two-envelope RFX responses. The following is a detailed explanation of the process from 1 of my colleagues:
    Two-Envelope response opening process:
    01. Buyer creates a RFx/Bid invitation with the transaction type that
        is configured for two envelope bidding.
    02. Enter the mandatory datas: submission deadline, bidders, items,
        permissions for technical/price/tender fee opening, etc
    03. Publish RFx.
    04. Login with bidder and "Participate" to receive emails.
    05. If tender fee is requested, then pay tender fee with bidder user.
    06. Create a Response with bidder user and submit.
    07. Now you have to wait till the submission deadline has been passed
        to give the chance for the other bidders to participate in the RFx
        process.
    08. After the submission deadline has been passed the buyer has to
        "Initiate Price/Technical RFx Response Opening" for a certain given
        time (which can be set earlier.)
    09. A new window will pop up to start the simultaneous logon.
    10. Provide password and hit the approve button.
    11. The pop up window will display Technical Opener's name.
        We can see the time remaining to perform the Technical opening
    12. In the next step, we will have to login to perform the technical
        opening. Do NOT close this window or do NOT logoff from the portal.
        If you think you will require more time to perform the technical
        opening you can extend this time. This will give additional minutes
        to perform the opening.
    13. To perform technical opening:
        Login to WTS or open a new session of Internet Explorer and login
        to Portal. At this point in time, you will have two sessions:
        - one on your local computer
        - and one in WTS/New session
    14. Open the rfx and click on Open technical rfx response.
    15. The Technical Opener/Reviewer now authenticates himself/herself by
        entering the password. After it hit "Approve" button.
    16. In the next step you will receive a message:
        "User approval successful"
    17. The Simultaneous Logon and opening of technical/price RFx response
        is now performed.
    18. Hit on Close button to close the pop up.
    19. Hit on Close to close the RFx screen.
    20. You have to wait till the Response opening time has been passed.
    21. After the time has been passed the Response can be opened.
    If the document changes in the meantime and if it needs approval (no
    automatic approval is configured) then you have approve the documents
    in the process with a given user.
    I hope that this helps.
    Kind regards,
    Conor

  • Bid Invitation - Technical and Economic offer

    Dear consultants,
    The process to determine the winner bids in my client is the following:
    The bidders are asked to send two envelopes, one with the Technical solution and another one with the Economic offer.
    Once the End date for bidding is reached, the technical solutions of each vendor are opened and it is defined which of them are OK or not to continue in the process.  Until this point the prices must not be known by the purchasers or anyone in the company.
    For those that are OK, the Economical Enveolope are open and the winner bid is defined by price.
    Can you suggest me a way to implement it? Is any standard funcionality?
    Thanks

  • Contacts Envelope Print Error

    I have figured out how to print an envelope with a return address, and proper layout even without the bar code (Hello Apple - it's 2015) and the limited text formatting options, but now Contacts prints two envelopes with each print request.
    The problem is that every other envelope prints the addressee name in the line where the street address is on the correctly printed other envelope (which is what I see in preview window).  No street address, city or zip, just the name in the line where the address should be.
    Under the Preview window within the print dialog window is this 'Two addresses()'
    I dont see another address card anywhere for this contact, so where is the other address that I need to delete to stop wasting envelopes?

    Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
    Then go to Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data and double-click that.

  • In the case of Bidding, Vendor will submit 1pack bid and 2pack bid.

    Hi SRM GURUu2019S,
    We are implementing SRM 5.5, SUS, cFolder,  and LAC.
    Scenario : In the case of Bidding, Vendor will submit 1pack bid and 2pack bid. If vendor submitted 2pack bid, We want evaluate Techno-commercial bid, If he qualifies then we will accept him to Price bid, In Live Auction or In the Bidding Engine. If the vendor not qualified we have to send me a letter.
    Question : 1. How to evaluate weather is it 1Pack bid and 2 Pack bid?.
                       2. How to evaluate 2 pack bid Techno-commercial?.
                       3. How to send a letter to rejected vendors?.
    Greatly appreciate, If any help me to find solution.
    Thanks & Regards,     
    John.

    Hi,
    I appreciate that you are implementing SRM 5.5, SUS, cFolder, and LAC.
    You are implementing the Sourcing scenario.
    Instead of implementing in SRM 5.5 better go for SRM 7.0 with Procurement for public sector (PPS) fucntionality
    The following advantages are the.
    1. 1 pack bid (single Cover system)
    2. 2 pack bid (Double cover system)
    is a standard functionality in SRM 7.0 /pps in addition you can enter the Tender Fees,EMD Fees ,
    also.  While creating the bid itself you can select 1  pack bid (or) two pack bid
    Question : 1. How to evaluate weather is it 1Pack bid and 2 Pack bid?.
    if it is 1 pack bid you  have to enter the opening date and time only once where the technical bid and price bid will be there.
    if it is 2 pack bid the technical bid opening date and time  is say 11.08.2009 the price bid opening date 25.08.2009 can be set and the bids are published
    2. How to evaluate 2 pack bid Techno-commercial?.
    There is a comparison button in SRM 5.5 and in SRM 7.0 also the same functionality.Out of the bids that wer submitted it will choose the least.. but for practical purpose each client has to decide on other factors .so better price comparison should be done manually even though system propose the least price
    3. How to send a letter to rejected vendors?.
    you have sent a mail or letter out of SAP .(or) most probably during the bid itself all the bidders will be participating there you can announce and sent the mail perosonally (or) Z program can be written
    In SRM 5.5  you have to do some developments for the 2 pack system
    IT IS  STANDARD IN SRM 7.0 WITH PPS AND IT IS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET..
    Better convince the client to go for SRM 7.0 which is released in APRIL 2009 ..
    SRM 7.0 is supported by  WEBDYNPRO  BASED and WORKFLOW for approval  is new called
    BUSINESS RULE FRAMEWORK (BRF)
    Hope you are clear
