Hi,
You can achieve this by uploading the items using a excel sheet. You need to make use of the option Upload/Download Bid invitation.
Also go through the following OSS which would be helpful in process:
Note 790860 - Frequently asked questions for Excel upload and download
Thanks,

Add line items programatically (Bid invitation)

Hi all,
I've created a bid invitation and would like to add items programatically. Is there a standard method I can use? I started to analyse SAP standard program and try to find
out the functions I can call to do the task... Am I going to the wrong direction?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Franck

Thanks for your quick answer Vadim,
How do you generate the new item guid. Do you know the function module that does that? In debug, I noticed that a simple numeric value is put in the field and it's later translated but I didn't find the function that does the translation.

Franck

SRM 4.0 - Upload function of Bid Invitations (Bidding Engine)

Hello,
I am currently working on the Bidding Engine in SRM 4.0
I would very much like to use the Download/Upload function in Bid Invitations, but for now I have the feeling it doesnt work.
I tested it by downloading a Bid Invitation and changing just one info like an item quantity or description. I put U (for Update) in the corresponding cell of the Change column. I also held the bid invitation in SRM before returning to it to upload the modified Excel-file.
When I upload the Excel file, I dont have any error messages, but no changes are done either.
Does anyone of you have an idea how I could make it work?
Thanks!
Andrea

Hi,
Please do the following things.
Excel updown/download is very flexible functionality.
(BADI : BBP_PD_DOWNLOAD)
1. You can change the format (how the document should be downloaded, which fields : Control variants in BBPC_UP_DOWNLOAD table)
2. You can also upload file (your own format : implement parsing method)
3. You can add your own fields. (APPEND_UPLOAD_DATA)
We are working on one such scenario for Contract Upload.
You can also check the following notes.
There is a SAP Note on downloading BID file.
Note 734060 - SRM: Upload and download of documents using MS Excel
They have given one example in this note.This is a consulting note,you will find it
Two more notes which can help you

Bid invitation upload option

Hi all,
We are working on SRM EBP bid invitation with SRM 5.0.
While creating the bid invitation we have an upload option through which we can upload from an excel sheet the products for which the bid invitation is to be sent at the item level.
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of this upload option?
Can anyone have the template of uploading in a excel sheet? We tried to download from the available bid invitation but we got all the info. including the GUIDs in the excel sheet.
Best regards,
Sridhar

Upload + Download in Bid invitation

Hi,
What i understand from upload and download feature in SRM is that the purchaser can download the bid invitation & make changes & upload it back again.
When I download I can see all database fields like - BBP_PDS_HEADER-GUID,
BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_GUID...etc for all entries quite confusing format.
Can anyone clarify how this upload and download works ?
Thanx,
Rajeshree

Hi Rajeshree,
Yes I agree that it is really confusing. But there is method in the madnesss. Essentially you have header lines and item lines and below that you have the header data and item data displayed in that order.
Please try to follow the header line and the header data. Similarly for item header and item data. You would be able to correlate then.
Thanks and best regards,

NO quote for some line items in a Bid Invitation

Hello Experts,
We have implemented SRM 5.0/Bidding Engine.
For example, When we create bid invitation with 10 line items, and invited about 5 bidders to participate.
Please note each one of line item is having about 15 attributes which are all required. It is not an optional attribute.
If one of the bidder is not interested in bidding for about 3 line items and standard functionality is - the bidder will make submittied quantity field to zero, so it will be ignored for any further checks.
But this is functionality is not working in our production system.
Please help me to resolve this.
Vijay

Hi Vijay
I do not think it works the way you suggested.
If you make dynamic attr required, they will be required and making 'submitted quantity' as '0' will not change that.
Pl create a OSS message, if you feel strongly about it but I doubt you get a solution as it's not a bug.
Instead of using 'Required' field in Dynamic attributes, you may try to use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to control the required checks.
Best regards

Upload SRM Bid Invitations

Hi,
We are trying to upload the bid invitations( downloaded and modified the price) in SRM 5.0 system, we are not able to upload the changes back into system.( Not getting any error messages, when uploaded into system)
Any documentation around uploading the SRM documents and any special configuration required for this.
Thank you
Sreedhar Vetcha

Hi Sreedhar Vetcha,
this functionality is not quite comfortable, but it works. You need to use the indicator U (update), D (delete), A (add) to adjust the document per line.
Have a look into notes 790860, 734060 and 812884 as well 734936 how to use that feature.
Cheers,
Claudia

Vendor can to decline 1 or more item in bid ?

People, I need your support.
We'r in SRM 5.0 and we need to know if is possible the vendor to decline 1 or more item in bid (this situation happen because he doesn't have this item, but he can to offer to other item in bid).
We try to put 0,00 in this item, but the system didn't accept.
Thanks,
Cristina

Christina,
Try not entering any price on items that supplier is not going to provide (leave it blank). We are able to do that in our implementation. You may also want to see if you have any checks on '0' price in badi.

The only columns we need to be performed in the file are: Document Number, Item Number, Item Description, amount, Delivery time.

While creating Bid invitation I need to hide some fields e.g. Attachements, upload a document, description, button Search & Add. These fields are available under tab Header data -> Documents.
BADI 'BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI' works to hide Bid Invitation Basic data, but not for above.
Can anybody let me know how to hide above fields.

Fill the custom fields of backend PO from bid invitation

Hi all,
From bid invitation I am generating a purchase order. A PO is getting created in the backend. But when I save the PO in the backend it gives an error because a custom field (created in both backend PO and bid invitation) is mandatory for creating a PO is not filled. I have to map the Z field created in bid invitation to the custom field in backend. But in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK there is no information regarding the quotation or bid invitation. Is there any way to get the bid or bid invitation details like bid guid or bid invitation guid or any other field which related the PO to bid in the badi BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK?
Regards,
Asha

Hi Sundeep,
This problem looks to be a program error. SAP suggest few notes for the account assignment errors. However i could not found out any relation for this error w.r.t commodity code.
The related OSS notes are as under :
<b>Note 1000184 - Account assignment error when document transfer to back end</b>
<b>Note 966323 - Service Item: Not able to create PO in ERP backend</b>
The note 1000184 is more relavent in your case and other related notes are mentioned in that note which may resolve your issue.
Hope this note will definitely come to your help.
Please let us know the outcome for further help.

Automatic grouping and creation of a bid invitation

Hello everyone,
we tried the automatic creation of a bid invitation in the case of items without assigned source of supply with report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED.
We get the correct errors in the report log of missing start date and end date of the bid and missing the bidder, because I never entered the information. The system doesn't give me a chance to enter the information. It is automatic.
So what is this automatic creation of a bid invitation with report BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED for?
Where is my mistake?
Thank you in advance.
