Unable to create collaboration in BID Invitation

Hi,
We are running on SRM 5.0(SP6) using the C-folder Add-on component
(CPRXRPM-4.0(sp1)).
While creating collboration in BID invitation,when we click on the
CREATE button,we get the foll dump:
The following error text was processed in the system MRD : Template
interpretation failed. Template does not exist.
The error occurred on the application server sapdev14_MRD_01 and in the
work process 0 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE

Can anybody throw some light on this?
BR,
Disha.

Hi Disha,
I am trying to configure Cfolders (4.0) as an Add on on SRM 5.0 in same client and I am getting short dump.
Could you please indicate config steps that you went through?
Do we need an RFC Destination?
Do we need a user with RFC Destination? if yes what are required roles?
Do we have to indicate RFC destination when defining backend system?
Do we have to maintain "Stipulate RFC Destination for CFolders"?
Do we need to specify any URL or area?

Create and Send Bid Invitation

Hello,
Newbie here, so thanks in advance for any help. We are in design phase and trying to figure out what's feasible or not. We want to automatically create a bid (RFQ) from an approved SC item. We then want to send this bid (RFQ) to our middleware (egate). Here are my questions:
(1) Can I create a bid in SAP EBP from the SC item, without setting up the Bidding Engine?
(2) Is creation of bid in SAP EBP, the same concept in R/3 backend, that is, I can view it via ME43 and it's stored in EKKO?
(3) Found several FM, what is the diference between BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE? Which one should I use for our purpose in (1) above?
(4) Then, there is the BADI, BBP_CREAT_RFQ_IN_DPE...this seems to be a user-exit connected with the Bidding engine, allowing the developer to change the bid?
(5) How can I send the bid (RFQ) automatically to the middleware within SAP EBP in XML format? Is this feature available in one of the FM in (3) above?
Thank you.
Regards,
Irene

Hi Irene Yu,
Good Quesitons. I will try to answer what i can.
1. You can create a Bid Inv in SAP EBP from the SC item. You do not set up Bidding Engine separately. It is part of EBP, you just need to enable the Sourcing/Bidding transactions, Assign Roles and Authorizations.
It is LAC, SUS, CCM, those are setup separately.
2. Creation of bid in SAP EBP, One part of RFQ functions, as the same concept in R/3 backend, but have much features than what you do in R/3.
3. The diference between BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
BBP_PD_BID_CREATE is used as parf of Bidding Functions, not an interface.
BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is an interface. You are trying to create Bid Invitation from external system, you should consider this interface.
4. Yes, there is the BADI, BBP_CREAT_RFQ_IN_DPE...this seems to be a user-exit connected with the Bidding engine, allowing the developer to change the bid inviatation in the background, Like other Doc Change Methods in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI.
5. How can I send the bid (RFQ) automatically to the middleware within SAP EBP in XML format? Is this feature available in one of the FM in (3) above? - I am sorry i do not understand this question.

Jay

CFolders Link in Bid Invitation

Hi,
I am creating a collaboration in Bidding Invitation in SRM, a Collaboration link is established in bid invitation.
When i follow this link it should lead to the cFolders in client 300.
We have cFolders in both client 100 and 300
I have defined client 300 in my external alias and determined the apllication URL in cFolders
The issue is when I Click the collaboration link it is redirecting to client 100 and giving an error Object of type collaboration no longer exists. This is because the collaborating is geeting created in Client 300 (RFC destination is client 300)
Even though the URL consists of external alias it is redirecting to client 100
Is there any client specific settings required

Dear Subramanya
This may be because client 100 might be your default client.
When you create an external alias ( TCode: SICF ) you have an option to give logon details. pl give clnt 300 there and check.

Hello Experts,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 and when we create a new bid invitation with more than one supplier, and publish it. There are no issues.
When we loggin as Bidder, this bidder is able to see all the bids even the ones which they are not invited for.
Please help us to fix this issue.

Bid invitation XML

Hi,
I want to send the bid invitation to vendor via XML. I choose output media XML and publish the bid invitation.
I get a success message that the Action is successfully completed, but I don't know what happened.
Does it works with XI?

Hi
Which SRM / SUS version are you using ?
You can create a Bid Inv in SAP EBP from the SC item. You do not set up Bidding Engine separately. It is part of EBP, you just need to enable the Sourcing/Bidding transactions, Assign Roles and Authorizations.
It is LAC, SUS, CCM, those are setup separately.
Bids are created in SRM Bidding Engine (ABAP part). If you don't want to use SRM Bidding Engine, then you should use the DPE scenario where the RFQ is not created in SRM but in your external Sourcing tool (Exostar).
This scenario is still present in SRM 4.0 or 5.0 (even if not intented to a futur extension).
You will trigger this RFQ export manually from Sourcing Cockpit, except if you have customized "automatic creation of bid invitation for items without source of supply" in SPRO --> SRM --> Sourcing --> Define Sourcing for Product Categories (this option is not available in EBP 3.5, thats' why I was asking about your SRM release).

The bid invitation creation service is bbp_bid_inv.
Please look at following thread:
Email to Vendor and Creator while creating PO
Run report RSWUWFMLEC to convert work items to mail. In transaction SCOT you can send it to preffered vendors.

Restricted Bid Invitation

I am not able to see restricted bid invitations under vendor users.
I have created a restricted bid invitation and assigned couple of vendors to it. I have a user associated with each vendor with SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER role. When I release the bid, the vendor users are not able to see the restricted bids. However, I can see the public bid invitations.
Am I missing some configuration? Please let me know
-Suren

Dear Suren,
It sound like the bidder is not authorized to display the bid inv document, you can try to login from GUI.
Then open the "submit bid" transaction (Tcode BBP_QUOT), after that enter the bid inv number and start, then go to /NSU53, check if there's any authorization failed.After that add the needed authorization ,then try again.

Add "Bid Invitation" field to PO create (ME21N)

Hi Gurus,
I have a request to add the 'bid invitation" field (AUSNR) as optional entry to the PO and Requisition during creating. I thought all I had to do is add it to table T162X (I put in position 210) and then configure it as required/optional/display in IMP / MM / Purchasing / Purchase Order / Define Screen Layout at Doc Level, but it is not showing on as an available field on the screens. What steps am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike

The 'bid invitation' field AUSNR is in the EKKO table. I am trying to have it come up on the PReqn & PO create and change screens, but have not have any luck. Please help me thru the proper steps.
Thanks, Mike

How to create a link to open an existing bid invitation?

Hello everyone,
I created a custom web transaction that displays some bid invitation information. I need to create a link that opens the same bid invitation in transaction BBP_BID_INV.
When I used "CALL TRANSACTION", I got the SAP GUI version. I need to get the bid invitation opened in Web Version (service BBP_BID_INV).
Your help is appreciated,
Abdullah Azzouni

Hello Marcin,
Well, I'm using this function module to display certain information users will need. Some users would like to be able to access the existing Bid Invitation transaction in order to change some information. This is why I need a link in my custom transaction to do that.
It would make more sense to call the existing transaction BBP_BID_INV. I could call it at the moment, but I get the SAP GUI version. I need the web version.

Abdullah

BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE - Bid Invitation Create - External System

There appears to be a SRM function and BAPI that can be used to create Bid invitation programmatically. They are: BBP_PD_BID_CREATE and BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE.
Questions :
1. Is the BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE used if creating Bid Invitations from an external systems (i.e. ECC 5.0)?
2. If BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE is not for this purpose, is BBP_PD_BID_CREATE the correct one to use?
3. For both BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE and BBP_PD_BID_CREATE when creating a Bid Invitation (the GUIDs are not yet created) the Item Long Text structure does not have item number included. It has the Item GUID but during a create you donu2019t know what it is.    Is the following the correct process for using this BAPI/function and if not, please correct?
Create the Bid Invitation:
     1. Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE   (do not provide the item long text or delivery schedule information)
     2. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT
Call the BAPI again with the GUIs returned in the E_ structures to update item long text and delivery schedules:
     3.   Call BAPI_BIDEC_CREATE    with known GUIs for the items or is there a different function to call for the change to add additional long texts to each item
     4. Call BBPU_COMMIT_AND_WAIT

Requirement has probably long gone and potentially you've resolved the problem but for the benefit of others;
In order to differentiate between Header and Item data within structure I_BID_TEXT you need to use field PARENT_GUID. The value here is not necessarily the parent of the BID Invitation but the parent of the text i.e. header or item.
for example;
I_BID_HEADER_CUST
PARENT_GUID
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C
I_BID_ITEMS
ITEM_GUID.............................................PARENT_GUID......................................ITEM_NUMBER
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C 0000000001
I_BID_TEXT
PARENT_GUID......................................TEXT..TEXT_LINE
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   HTXT   testing bidder text      -> Header Bidder Text
DF1203499AF874F1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   testing internal note   -> Header Internal Note
DF12037B3803EDF1AB76000D6098290C   NOTE   Testing internal note -> Item Internal Note

FM: GUID_CREATE (EBP/SRM & ECC) can create the guid for you.

Custom field in Create Bid Invitation..

Hi,
I have to add a custome field in the 'Create Bid Invitation - Find bid invitation - Extended Search screen. has anyone done this same scenario.
john.

hi,
I dont think you can add custom field at the item overview level.
There is nothing in standard for CUF in item overview.
CUF are available in Header/item basic data, accounting and search screens, but nothing in item overview.
The only workaround which i can see is to modify the HTML page in the Internet Service .
You can try to use some standard field which stores the information you want to display (instead oc creating a custom field).e.g.If you want to display the Product CAtegory in addition to its description on the item overview screen(Table control),then you will have to find out the std field which stores the Prod category value.
If the standard populates that field with the info you require you'll not have to populate it yourself: so check it.
Be careful to add this column as the last column in the Table control, as the template refers to column numbers for existing data.
Then change the template in order to manage the field display in the different cases (selection and display).
DO NOT COPY STANDARD PROGRAM, or you will loose modification tracking during upgrade or SP applications.
Be careful. The same HTML templates of the Internet Service are (shared) used for all the users. So be very sure in making changes to the standard HTML template and publishing those changes. Incase of shortdumps here, you need to go through each line in the Service to see the cause of the error(which might be as silly as missing a comma, bracket, period after a line). SAP dump analysis is not much help here.

Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequ

Hi everybody
"Create bid invit. from template in two different ways has different consequuences"
When I create a bid invitation from a previous template, from the template search results (Icon_create SAPLBBP_BID_INV 1010) my bid is published but then stay in the model search and the status is wating for approval. But no workflow started in BBP_PD.
If I use the same template for creating a new bid from the detail using the create bid invitation button, the bid invitation is created correctly.
I have configured the two events for the BUS2200 object and both of them have an initial condition.
It seems that the two actions trigger different events or something like that
Does anybody why it is occurring this and how I could link the workflow without approval for this case.
Thanks

Bid Invitation to create a Contract

Hi Guys,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 (Classic Scenario). Our requirement is to create a RFX through the bidding engine only manually. (Not going through sourcing or external requirements).
I am aware that we cannot manually create a bid invitation for indirect materials as we donot have an account assignment object for indirect materials in the bidding engine and this restricts creation of a PO.
Does the same hold good for creation of contracts for indirect materials or we can create contracts from the bidding engine manually without the cost assignment object problem??
Also creation of bids manually for direct materials should not be a problem as it does not need a cost object assignment (only storage location is a mandatory field).
Please confirm !!!!
Does anybody have the best practices used for the live auction and bidding process in SRM??
Thanks
SUNNY

Does anybody have a solution to my problem???
Please let me know
Thanks

Error when create bid invitation (Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid)

Dear All ,
We have issue in our PDP scenario, when creating a bid invitation from a PR (from R/3), an error occured with message" Tax code CN in procedure TAXD is invalid".
I already raise an oss message and the reply is because the system take different company code that's not active in R/3 system. Its because TAXD procedure is assign to country DE (German) and company 0001 country is "DE".
BE_STGE_LOC 9114
BE_PLANT 7008
BE_BATCH
BE_VAL_TYPE

We wonder how the system assign company code 0001 with plant 7008, since in R/3 Plant 7008 is assign to company code 8008.
The company code 0001 is not active in our R/3 system.
And also its not happen for all document , so just for several document, and not just in this plant (7008).
The OSS reply also mention that the company chages is because this badi

Assign the appropriate company code and modify the ET_ITEM table

MODIFY et_item FROM ls_item.

But we already use this badi for several years, and we're not sure that this badi id the root cause,and until now there still no solution for this issue.
Please kindly advise.

Hi SG,
In SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM Server > Cross Application Basic Settings > Tax Calculation
1.Determine system for tax caluclation : Choose either no tax calculation or Tax calculation occurs in back end.
2. Enter Tax code : Mention Tax indicator as I0 and tax description Zero Tax, Check the No Tax check box and make it default based on your requirement.
Please follow the above steps based on your requirement which will definitely resolve your issue.
This issue comes when the tax calculation happens in the SRM system and the tax code I0 is not defined in tax procedure TAXD.
Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

Various Account Assignment options while creating new Bid Invitation

Dear Guru's,
It seems while creating fresh Bid Invitation there is no option to define the Cost assignment like Cost Center, Asset, Order, Project, Network.
System creates Bid Invitation only for Cost Assignment "CC - Cost Center". Is my understanding correct?
Can any one confirm that Bid Invitation can only be created only for Materials/Services wtih Cost Assignment CC and Direct Material Option?
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.

Thanks Vijay,
We tried that scenarios also, we maintained alternate Account Assignment in Org Structure like AS, CC, NET, OR. These various Cost assignment options are also visible while creating Shopping Cart.
But while creating new Bid Invitation system does not have any provision in Item details to enter the Cost Assignment details like shopping cart.
That is why this question?
We would like to invite bids for Asset, Project, Order and WBS element materials. So that system creates purchase order with respective Account assignment in backend as follow-on documents.
Regards,
Sandeep Parab.
