Use of rebates on SRM contracts

Hi all,
Does anyone know if rebates can be configured in SRM on contracts? I assume this is not possible, but has anyone used a different bespoke method to process rebates?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Hi Yann,
Rebates (I think!) work by the vendor reimbursing a one-off absolute or percentage discount at a specific time based on spend amount or volume over a period of time during the duration of a contract.
We can use a percentage discount for each order, but can it handle a one-off amount being credited back at the end of the contract, for example?
I assume this is what is required by my client, but if you have any other ideas how this can happen please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Updating SRM contracts from R/3 to SRM....

Hi all,
I am working in SRM, my requirement is to update the SRM contracts from R/3 to SRM and if any changes happen in R/3 contracts (previously updated contracts to SRM) then it should replicate those changes in SRM contracts also.
I found the program BBP_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD (This program can be used to upload contracts from ERP to SRM. A separate contract in SRM would be created for each successfully transferred ERP contract.)
My question is, so if any changes happen in R/3 contracts it should update SRM contracts also.
Please let me know the solution how to solve this?
Highly appreciated any kind of help..
Thanks
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
I think that your scenario is very risky as there is no master system for contract : one time it is srm and after it can be r/3 !
Besides this comment, you can search the forum and find some threads for contract replication in both ways (but no activated in the same time...)
Kind regards,
Yann

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

SRM Contract alert management Workflow - WS10400022 Agents determination

Hi Experts,
I am trying to implement Alert management for SRM Contracts that are expired/ or the threshold is exceeded.
All the necessary configs are done and the event linkage is also done for the workflow Template WS10400022.
The task used in this workflow TS10407926, for agent determination, used the expression &Agents_0001.Agents&
This container value is neither passed from the event linkage binding.
Can anyone explain how this agent determination is done for this workflow?
Your replies are very much appreciated
Cheers,
Prem.

Hello,
OK, i did not see the event linkage between event and workflow...
Currently, &Agents_0001.Agents& is not populated with data coming from the event:
Event is managed by BBP_EV_API_EVENTS_SAVE function modul, and inside this FM by CL_BBP_EVENTS class.
Maybe you should open an OSS message and check all OSS notes dealing with BBP_CONTRACT_CHECK report.
Regards.
Laurent.

SRM Contract Management

Dear All,
Few clarification on SRM contracts pls:
SRM 5.0:
In SRM 5.0 we can create Local contract and GOA.Local can be used only in SRM and cannot be distributed to backend system.GOA can be distributed as contracts or scheduling agreements to backend.Pls correct me if am wrong.
Also how system decides whether GOA will be distributed as contracts or scheduling agreement.
Also, in SRM 5.0 can we directly create a contract in backend system from the bidding engine.
SRM 7.0:
GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
Thanks,
Venky

1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC.

'Add Approver' is inactive for SRM contracts

Dear colleagues,
We have deal with SRM 5.5. The point is that the button 'Add Approver' is inactive for 'Approval Preview'.
This issue regarding SRM contracts. Does anybody know how to activate usage of "add approver" during approvement of a contract.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Grygoriy
P/S
I've had a look at notice 'ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled' by N M Poojari ( ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled), unfortunately, author didn't point to solution of his problem. So, I'll appreciate more detailed plan of actions.

Thanks, Siobhan, for your reply.
However, the problem was caused by my attempt to to do the following steps with a wrong WF (instead standart workflow for contracts (WS14000148) we use Z-flow) :
PFTC -> Select workflow template -> workflow you are using -> Display -> Additional data ->
Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button
'General Task'. -> The problem is solved
Yours faithfully,
Grygoriy Gavrylyuk

Benefits SRM contracts compared to MM contracts

Hello,
As I'm pretty new in the SAP world (just passed my EBP 5.0 certifcation), I hope someone can help me with the following:
What are the benefits and differences of SRM contract management compared to contract management in MM?
Many thanks!
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
EBP contracts are used extensively in the sourcing application. When price determination comes into picture, these are selected first. This can also be used during requesting temp labor. All the MM function are available, release orders can be created. Release doc is saved. One imp thing is, you have a chance to work with version controls that can also be linked to workflow and can also be compared at any time to find the status.
Alert events can be triggered from BW via workflow..
Also you have a chance to work with GOA.
Any many more...
Let me know if you need more info..
BTW MM sourcing is very limited. Very difficult to trace the overrun.

SRM Contracts

Is there any table(s) from which I can download the contracts?
I use the Download Contract button to download to Excel but the Unit of Measurement (field between Product Type and Price in Item Data) is missing during downloads using the single contract download or bulk download. I checkup the notes but none of them pertain to this problem.
Is there any workaround to accomplish this hence the question about can I directly access and table and download.
We are on SRM 5.0.
Thanks

Hi
Please go through these pointers and links as well.
Refer to Function module - BBP_PD_CTR_CREATE / BBP_PD_CTR_CHANGE
Tcode BBP_PD is a wealth of knowledge. you need to select proper object type from the drop down and enter the relevant Object number and execute.On the next screen in the details double click on each separate node and it will take you to table and display the records, There are vaiorus object type like Shopping cart, PO Contract, Bid etc.

Two load errors for a standard SRM Contract ODS

We've just installed standard business content for SRM Contract ODS. The standard InfoSource we installed is 0BBP_TD_CONTR_1. Two loading errors occur:
1st error:
No return value <> 0 allowed in update routines in transfer mode
Diagnosis
The return code was set to <> 0 in routine 'r0063_0SR_TARGVDC ', but the corresponding data field is updated with MOVE. You therefore can not prevent the update of a single data field for certain key values.
System Response
The load process is terminated.
Procedure
When you update with MOVE, you do not have to update all the data records. In this case you should use a start routine in the update rules in which you delete the data records that you do not want to update from table DATA_PACKAGE. Set the return code for all routines affecting a data field that is updated with MOVE to 0 (also the corresponding key field routines).
Procedure for System Administration
2nd error:
Error converting currency to standard currency (see long text!) RSBCTBBP
Diagnosis
Record number 1 : Error during currency conversion to standard currency.
The currency JPY of field 0OUTAGTARGT could not be determined.
Procedure
 Possible causes are listed below:
 - Could not find currency tables RSCURTRT or TCURR
 - Could not determine conversion date
 - Could not find an exchange rate for currency JPY in table TCURR
 Check the erroneous data record, currency unit, and date.If all data is
 available, check whether the standard currency was created correctly.
You can change it in transaction <rscur> by changing the settings for InfoObject 0SR_DEFCUR.
Furthermore, the global settings must be transferred from the source system in order to get the currency keys of the currencies (maintained for currency JPY in table TCURR). Use transaction <rsa1> to transfer the global settings. Select 'Source Systems' and choose the entry 'Transfer Global Settings' for the respective source system.
Note: we've transfer the global settings at currency from our SRM source system already, but we still get the same error msgs.
Any idea/solution?
Thanks

Hello All,
As I have already mentioned the condition types in SRM are identically matched to ERP condition type hence the data is flowing correctly and even the idoc has the z-condition type Z123.The IDOC in backend ERP has status 53.
On trial and error method we did unchecked the manual indicator check in the pricing schema for the relevant condition type and because of that now the Z-condiiton type can be seen in the backend ERP contract.
If the indicator was checked, this means that this condition can be maintained only manually (directly in the transaction
ME32K in ECC) and nothing can be transfer from other source.
Note: If the same condition type is being used in more than one pricing procedure then ensure that the check bok is unchecked for agianst the relevant condition type.
Thanks,
Yatin

Change vendor in SRM contract.

Dear All,
I have a general query related to SRM contracts. Once the SRM contract is created and released. Will I be now able
to change the vendor if so what is the impact. When I go into the contract in change mode it anyway do not let us change the vendor. So what is the best followed practice is such a case. Or is it better just to delete the contract and create a new contract with the required vendor ?
Thanks in Advance.

yes. Jay i s correct .best is to create a new CONTRACT.
Jay suggested is good. CLOSE the existing GOA and create a New contract .
fyi ..
but one concept is available in SRM. Changing Suppliers in Central Contracts
NOVATIONYou can transfer some or all central contracts and purchase orders from one supplier to another in the case of a merger or buyout. This is known as novation. In addition to changing the number of a supplier in a contract, you can define a new validity period for the contract. The system recalculates the validity period for the old supplier.
Note
You can also use this function to search for central contracts with a particular supplier.
End of the note.
Prerequisites
You are assigned to one of the roles in the following table:
Roles Role Name
Portal Role
SAP SRM Server Role
Operational Purchaser
com.sap.pct.srm.ro_operationalpurchaser

SAP_EC_BBP_ST_PURCHASER
SAP SRM Administrator
com.sap.pct.srm.ro_srmadministrator
SAP_EC_BBP_ADMINISTRATOR
Activities
In the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) system, choose Central Contract Management Change Suppliers in Contracts (transaction BBP_CTR_01).
Enter the number of the old supplier, the number of the new supplier, and other required data, and choose Execute.
The system displays all contracts with the number of the old supplier.
Select the contracts in which you want to replace the number of the old supplier with the number of the new supplier.
Note
If you want to simulate the changes, be sure to select Test Run.
End of the note.
Choose Carry Out Novation.

SRM Contract Catalog - Creation

Hi,
I am working with a customer on SRM 5.5 /CCM 2.0.
We need to have product and contract catalogs in our system.
1) Do we necessarily need to have CCM on another client?
2) We have initialized CCM with the /ccm/ccm_initialize report. After we run the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG report SRM Product Catalog gets created. How does the SRM Contract catalog get created? Is there a separate report for that?
4) Do we necessarily need XI for my scenario?
Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated. [and rewarded, ofcourse :-)]
Thanks and Regards,
Waheed

Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Couple of associated queries.
1) XI configured and the business scenario MasterDataInclusion set up.
Yes, it is set up for us.
2)A logical system entry for CCM defined as a backend system with type Cataloge.
We have CCM on the same client as the SRM EBP. So, we have already defined this client logical system as Local B2B. I cannot define the same logical system again as type CATALOG. So, should I create a dummy entry for this CCM backend system.. without any client assignment that is?
3)We dont have a supplier catalogue scenario. Only Product & Contract Catalogues.
When I executed the BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG first time a SRM Product Catalog got created. Is the contract catalogue expected to be created then itslef?
Because, after we release our contracts there is no contract creation/updation happening in the CCM. Is the contract catalogue expectd to be created the first time we release any catalogue with the tick on?
Everytime we release a conract an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message
"Recepient not found.
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 70D3DB446F7CEC36E10000000A0000E8 and object_id= 5000000213" [5000000213 is our contract number"
Is this relevant to my problem? What is the issue here?
Thanks a lot again for your patience.

Waheed
