Vendor Contract

Hello,
Can someone give me some info. wrt to Vendor Contract:
1. The spro setting needed for the same
2. The master data
3. Procedure for creating Vendor Contract and creating subsequent documents.
4. How is inventory handles in such case
Is the concept of Vendor Contract same as the Contract in SD...as in SD we create a Quantity Contract and then we create subsequent documents as 'Call-off' [sales orders] and with each call-off..appropriate quantity is reduced from the contract....
Is Vendor Contract also same....
Another question i have wrt to subcontracting and TPO [third party order].
Can we have Subcontracting Third party orders and in what scenerios.
and how would we configure these.
Regards,
Gauravjit

Hello,
A Contract is a long-term agreement with a vendor (one of the two forms of Outline Agreements in the system) to supply materials or provide services for a certain period of time.
A Contract is sometimes referred to as a blanket order. The two types of contracts are:
Quantity
Value
A Contract can be created directly or with reference to an Outline Agreement Request (Requisition), an RFQ, or another Contract.
A Contract contains a validity period with specific beginning and ending dates.
Purchase Orders created against a Contract are called Release Orders (in non-system terms, they are also known as blanket releases, contract releases or call-offs). Quantities and delivery dates are specified in the Release Order.
SPRO Setting : MM >> Purchasing >> Contract
1. Define number range
2. Define document type ( If required)
3. Release strategy ( If required)
Steps :
1. ME31k
2. ME21N
3. MIGO with ref to Contract release order ( PO)
4. MIRO

LSMW create Vendor Contract ME31k

Hello Guys,
I have create a LSMW using recording to upload a series of contract with multiple lines.
I have defined 2 source structure with the respective fields I intent to input values.
Header, field 1, field 2
Item, field 1, field 2
I have also maintained the appropriate structure for 2 different files, where first file has the header data and Item files has the item data.
I am reading and converting the data correctly but the sequence of my LSMW recording is corrupted. What is the best way to go with the recording for this LSMW. I am struggling to define the multiple items for a contract.
I do not have BUS2014 and IDOC did not work.
Thanks

To create the contract with multiple lines you are required to create two recordings and maintain two different source file.
First Record is dedicate to create the Contract with a dummy item.
Create the record for ME31K choose the fields you require to maintain. You are required to input the first line, use a dummy item so you are able to save the contract.
Second Record is dedicate to add item in the contract.
Create a record for ME32K it is not require to input the contract number as the record will use last create contract. Remember to call Edit Enter lines to call the last line to input the material ID.
You are required to map the Header and Item level using identifiers for header and Item
On the Header you can make the Item a constant of the dummy material.
You are required to maintain two different source file one for Header and one for Item and then define the source structure.
If someone have a better way I am happy for advices.

Vendor Contract -----Outline agreement

can anybody send me help docs for outline agreement?//////////
or step by step process in SAP......
Thanks in advance
Shuva

Hi
outline agreement can be contract and scheduleing agreements...
Both are used for long time periods...
For eg in schedule agreement, there are schedule stored ie. no. of dates for which the qty is req. in the industry....
both can be used as a perdoc for the generation of the PO...
but there is an added advantage, with schdule agreement we can have further del. schedule generated even if the further req. is seen....but in contracts you need to generated new contract release order for every new requirement....
For further details pls check the link:

Create a Sales Order with Reference to Contract using IDoc / LSMW ( AFS )

Hi Gurus,
I need to crate a Sales Order with reference to a Contract. I need to upload Sales Orders with reference to contract via LSMW.
So far, I've been able to create the Sales Order with ref to contract. But, the Sales Order Quantity is not getting deducted from the Original Qty in Referred Contract ( When try to create another Sales Order referring to the same Contract.) When a Sales Order is created manually, this is working fine.
Please tell me if I've missed some parameter which stopping it create the link to exact schedule line ( Sizes level )
The Details of the IDoc which is been created via LSMW are as follows;
Message Type: ORDERS
Basic Type     : /AFS/ORDERS05
Process Code : ORDE / DELO
( Tried with both process codes. But the Identification is the same for both: IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS )
*_In Header;_
Segment : E1EDK02 - IDoc: Document header reference data *
Qualifier : '043' - Vendor Contract Number ( Tried with ' 005' - Customer Contract, but it's not working )
Contract Order is mapped for field BELNR
*_In Item;_
Segment : E1EDP02 - IDoc: Document Item Reference Data *
Qualifier : '043' - Vendor Contract Number ( Tried with ' 005' - Customer Contract, but it's not working )
Contract Order is mapped to field BELNR
Line Item of the Contract is mapped to field ZEILE
I also tried passing the Schedule line of Contract in Segment : E1J3P01 AFS IDoc: Doc.item general data
to following fields;
J_3AETENV
J_3AVGETE
/AFS/UETENR
Still its not getting updated in the VBEP also..
Please help me with regard to this. Points will be awarded for your valuable contribution.
Thanks.

Hi,
This issue is been resolved.
One of my friend helped me with resolving this issue..
Once the below mentioned configurations were done on SPRO, the Sales Order was created with reference to Contract and the Qty was reflected when tried to create a new Order referring the same contract.;
u2022     SPRO --> SD -->Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Define Sales Document Types --> Field : Outline agreement message; from blank to u201CBu201D.
u2022     SPRO -->SD -->Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Maintain Sales Document Types for AFS --> Field : Outline agreement message; from blank to u201CAu201D

EDI: creating a sales order with reference to contract

Dear gurus,
we would like to create a sales order with reference to a SD contract from an ORDERS IDoc.
OSS say we have to populate the E1EDx02 segments with the contract number to do this.
We tested this in our system by manually editing the incoming IDoc and this is what we found:
- qualifier u201C005 : Customer Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = u201Cthe customeru2019s outline agreement number in his MMu201D (= normal MM behaviour) -> reference is not processed at all, sales order is created without reference
- qualifier u201C043: Vendor Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = our contract number in SD -> Sales order successfully created. BUT where can I store an external outline agreement number in MM so that the BELNR in the IDoc is populated with it?
- qualifier u201C058: Customer Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = the customeru2019s outline agreement number in his MM -> Error:
The system could not determine a contract number
Message no. VG226
Diagnosis
The system could not determine a contract number for the selection criteria: external contract number 5100000020 and customer number 0044000004.
This error appears although we maintained the external number 5100000020 in the PO number field (VBKD-BSTKD) in our SD contract.
Could anyone please explain what we do wrong?
Cheers
Alicia

Hi again,
@Lakshmipathi: Thank you, but it is VG226, like I wrote. But still, the OSS note is interesting: "You create a sales order with reference to an MM contract using EDI." Where's the sense in that? Why would I ever want to create a sales order with reference to an outline agreement in MM???
@Rags: Sure we could do that, but I find it hard to believe that there is no standard way to do this. Especially given there are plenty of OSS notes stating that this is possible, e.g. note 562710.
Any other ideas?
Cheers
Alicia

Vendor missing in Shopping Cart

Hi all,
Now, in SRM Shopping Cart, I have a issue that when screen returns to Shopping Cart from External Vendor Catalog, and when I click on Item Details (click on Magnifier icon in 'Action' column), it brings me to Item Details page, where I can see Basic Data, Cost Assignment, Documents and Attachments, Ship-To Address/Performance Location, and Sources of Supply / Service Agents.
I notice when I click on Sources of Supply / Service Agents, there are messages return:
No vendor assigned
No vendors/contracts/info records exist
I have done the config for the vendor in the following path in SRM, for my External Vendor Catalog:
SPRO --> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Define External Web Services
where, I assigned Vendor Number 90000987 as BP Number in Source of Supply Assinged to Product Catalog.
I am wondering why Vendor No. 90000987 is missing during the transfer to shopping cart. Due to this, I have checked BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER, method ENRICH_ITEM_DATA, table ET_SC_PARTNER, and I found entry for Vendor Number 90000987 is in the table with Partner Function '00000019'. I bet there is nothing I can do in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
Another BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, which triggered after BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER, and I found that table IT_PARTNER of method BBP_SC_CHANGE does not contain any entry for Vendor Number 90000987 with Partner Function '00000019'. I have tried to place a breakpoint there and append entry for Vendor Number 90000987 manually in debugger, surprisingly, the Vendor is showing now.
Do you have any idea of which area (config or etc) I have missed out to cause Vendor Number 90000987 being excluded in tale IT_PARTNER of method BBP_SC_CHANGE in BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI?
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your info, I have resolved the Vendor Missing issue, and this is due to Business Partner GUID. I have matched back the appropriate GUID and now the vendor is appeared.
However, I have another post, but this time it's UoM issue
Unit of Measure missing in Shopping Cart
Not sure whether you have any idea on this.
Thanks and best regards,

Not able to assign vendor on SC

Hello Experts,
(SRM 5.0; Extended Classic)
I'm facing an issue with indicating vendor on shopping card. When I create a shopping card and open tab Sources of Supply / Service Agents, there is only "Preferred Vendor" field active. Above that there is a information:
"No vendor assigned
No vendors/contracts/info records exist"
and no active field where I could put vendor number.
I have replicated vendors and materials from backend. I have extended classic scenario so I understand I cannot have inforecord reached from the backend. I also have contracts locally created for item for which I create SC. And still information as specified above.
I need to be able to indicate vendor, not preffered vendor. For Instance, when I transfer PM order (with vendor specified on it) to SRM, SC is created and field vendor is correclty filled with vendor I specified in PM order. But when I create SC manually on SRM, field Vendor is not available, only "Prefered Vendor" and this info quoted above.
Did you have maybe similar problem. How can I solve it?

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ?
You need to do the following SPRO config settings.
SPRO> SRM server-> Sourcing> Define Sourcing for product categories.
Here you need to select the sourcing always carried out in the front of the respective product categories. Once you do it you will be able to get the vendors.
Also Make sure that you have replicated from ecc purch org, material master and vendor master. Only then you will be able to see the sos. The purch org in the shopping cart must be the same of the contract/info record.
Also Did you try implementing BBP_SOS_BADI ? Please check for the BADI - BBP_SRC_DETERMINE ?

The shopping cart net price is "0" according contract

HI,my experts:
I work in SRM 7.0 ,SP03 ,Extended Classic Scenario.
I create one shopping cart according contract (status:released).In the Tab"source od supplier " the available contract will display .But the netprice is "0".I checked the contract and find that the price of the contract is not "0".So ,I do not know why? I debug the program --BBP_CND_CUSTOMIZING_CHECK ,and find the net price of contract is "0".
so ,I am very confused about this . any links also welcome.thanks!
Alex!
BR!

no.
srm price is zero since you dont maintain a price for material.
EBP_backend_prices report brings a material price from ECC to SRM.
however it is called dummy price and used for only approval puropse. the real price will take it from your contract while CREATING PO>
CREATE A SC FOR THAT MATERIAL AND JUST MANUALLY ENTER 1 $.
I AM SURE. YOUR PO WILL BE CREATED WITH 5 $ .
AFATER APPROVING THE CART, YOU CAN SEE THE PO VALUE. IT WILL PICK FROM YOUR SOS -SOURCE OF SUPPLY FIXED VENDOR CONTRACT.
