Vendor list and preferred vendor

Hi,
We are using classic scenario and currently, all carts are intercepted by the purchasing department so purchase requisitions are manually converted into POs.
We want to implement vendor lists but SRM assigns any vendor chosen from a vendor list as fixed, which means it will convert to a PO once the shopping cart is fully approved.
Is there a BADI I can use to change the vendor from 'Fixed' to 'preferred'. Can BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI be used to do so or does it only works when changing a 'preferred' vendor into a 'fixed' vendor?
Thanks

Hi
Yes... we have done this long back successfully..
The BADI - BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI can be easily used...
Also, you can look for BBP_SOS_BADI...
Do let me know, incase you face any problems.

Shopping Cart Split and Preferred Vendor

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5, in Extended Classic Scenario.
I add a service item in my Shopping Cart by using the describe requirement in transaction BBPSC03, I assign a Preferred Vendor to this item and I duplicate it by using the Copy button.
When I order the Shopping Cart, this gives me 2 Purchase Orders? I don't understand why because the 2 items are identical. Is there something in the customizing which has to be set up? I would like to have only one Purchase Order created if items are identical.
Thanks for your help,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
The preferred vendor is not the assigned vendor. SO the vendor needs to be assigned during the sourcing.
As far as splitting is concerned check whether any BADI is active like BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI where split criteria is maintained.
Please check the related thread and the OSS notes mentioned in it for better understanding of the issue.
Re: SCs split into multiple POs, duplicate POs and PO items in reverse c/ to SC
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving the issue.

Old Vendor Number and New Vendor number

Dear Experts,
In Vendor Master we have a Field ALTKN which is of 10 Character to Store the Old Vendor number, Where as my client has old vendor number is of 14 characters in his Legacy system. As this Old Vendor number is very much required in SAP.
Kindly Suggest to which field this Old Vendor Number to be mapped as the old Vendor number is Alpha Numeric and is of 14 digit.
Best Regards
Javeed

if the old vendor number does not fit into the designated SAP given field, then you either have to misuse another field or put the old vendor number into a long text or extend the SAP KNB1 (or KNA1 ) table with an own Z-field or put it into classification.
Classification would be my prefferred solution, as classification is just standard, does not need any extra programming, is not a modification, is embedded in search functions.

Preferred Vendor & Vendor Issue in SC

Hi Friend's
Currently i am working with Extended Classic Scenario's
Shopping Cart was created with both the field (Preferred Vendor & Vendor) Here Vendor Filed normally creates from the catalog But
Whenever user copied the same shopping carts and user can able to create shopping cart with Vendor & Preferred vendor filed getting updated
Note:
Either one filed should be updated
Can any one tell me what would be the reason?
Thanks
Shrini

Yes shrini. it comes due to OLD PURCHASE ORDER templates.
if you dont want this. end user must have delete the vendor before he order a shopping cart source of supply.
indeed it confuses business too.
step 1 :- create a sc with prefered sos
step 2:- sc goes to cockpit
step 3:- buyer hold a car in the cockpit now you get parter function 19 in bbp_pd 19 .and supplier comes int basic data
step 4:- create a PO from cockpit
sptep 5:- go to OLD Purchase order templates and now u see vendor picked as FIXED vendor .
step 6:- PO created
stpe 7:- check sc sos VENDOR XXX and preferred VENDOR XXXX.
this manner you might confused
Thanks

Delete Vendor List

Hi All ,
how do we delete Vendor list in SRM system . From the Transaction process vendor list (BBPAVLMAINT) i can create vendor list and dispaly vendor list but where do we delete the vendor list ??
waiting anxiously for the reply !!
Thanks and Regards
Iftekhar Alam

Yeh,
Desactivating the vendor list avoids the users to see/use them in the SC transaction.
PS: To only allow vendor lists in the SC transaction use IMG: "Define Sourcing via Vendor List only".

Preferred vendor not being copied from the selection list of F4 --- Shop

Hi SRM Gurus,
When we are creating a shopping cart with the sources of supply, preferred list of vendors is displayed when we click the icon next to the preferred vendor in the browser. Source of supply, F4 in GUI also gives a list of vendors but if we select the vendor name, it is not being copied.
Else, if we type the business partner number in the tab, it gets selected.
Can anyone faced the similar type of problem?
Kindly suggest.
Earliest reply will be highly appreciated with points.
Sincerely,
Sridhar.

Hi Yann,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked though. My problem is little different as I can see the list of vendors and also if I type the BP id of the particular vendor in the preferred vendor tab it works. Only I cannot doubleclick the vendors name and select it to the preferredvendor tab.
Also once selected I dont have any issues in creating the PO and the complete cycle.
Any other suggestions.
Sincerely,
Sridhar.

Preferred Vendor

Hi All,
I am trying to set some of the Vendors as preferred Vendor for a Product category. Could you please help me how to do this? Whats the t-code for this?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards

Hello,
To be clear...
As written by Muthuraman, vendor list gives fixed vendors for product categories.
You want to have a preferred vendor for a list of product categories. So, there is no transaction to answer to your request.
One alternative, is to use vendor list and then implement BAdI i mentioned.
Regards.
Laurent.

Preferred Vendor in SRM 5.0

Hi Gurus,
The set up is SRM 5.0 Classic scenario, the requirement is when user creates a SC , he should be able to select vendors in the preferred vendor field under source of supply and a PO should be created once this SC is approved.
There is a restricted list of vendors which should only be available in f4 help of Preferred vendors.
Question is How to set up this? I have already replicated these vendors in SRM system
Thanks,
SAP PR

Hi
You can do it by BBP_doc_change_BADI for bus2121 by swaping partner function 39 to 19.
39 - preferred vendor
19 - fixed vendor

Vendor list in SRM

Hi,
I have created a vendor list for a two vendors and a product category and with reference to respective backend contracts.
When I tried to create a describe requirement shopping cart for this product category, system does not show me the list of all preferred vendors.
But when I removed these referenced backend contracts, then system shows me all allowed preferred vendors at the time of shopping cart creation.
Could you please advice as how I can create a vendor list with ref. to backend contract and this vendor list eventually can be used for shopping cart creation.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi
Did you release the vendor list ?
what is the status of vendor list
vendor list show in fixed vendor place?
prefered vendor means all the vendors not only one vendor.
if the contract is valid w.r.t product category , it must showin the SOS.
What scenario are you in? Unfortunately, the backend contract functionality in Vendor list is only valid for the Classic Scenario- can you confirm this.

How to change Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor in SC - SRM-5.0

SRM Experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0 and PI-7.0.
We are using classic scenario in SRM. When user selects the vendor with Outline agreement in SOS tab then SC creates PO in backend system because it has Fixed Vendor otherwise SC creates PR in the backend system.
We have a new requirement in SRM to create PO instead of PR in the backend system if Purchasing Org=5xxx and total value of SC is less than USD 5XXX and Vendor is a Preferred Vendor in the SC.
Do I need to use the Check Document BADI to check the total value of the SC and to check whether it is a Preferred Vendor and then in the Change Document BADI, change the value from Preferred Vendor to the Fixed Vendor before SC is saved?
OR someone has any other suggestions on this?
Which BADI is called first Check Document or Change Document before saving the SC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Atul/Disha,
I sent you my code and problem in detail at your email address.
Here is the requirement for Changing Preferred Vendor to Fixed Vendor. We are on SRM 5.0 and using classic scenario. I am new to SRM world. I also checked the note- 962474 in our system and it has been applied. We upgraded to SRM 5.0 in Oct-07.
1.     My client has customization for sources of supply tab. It shows the vendor information in SOS tab based Product category, Plant and Purchasing group selected in the SC. If SC contains Vendor with Outline agreement then SC creates PO in the backend system. So in Change BADI logic for new enhancement of converting Preferred vendor into Fixed Vendor should not change anything in the SC using Outline agreement.
2.     We have created Custom table-zsrm_fix_vend with fields, purchasing group, company code, currency and total value.
3.     We need to convert the preferred vendor into fixed vendor
    if the SCs 1st line item purchasing group = zsrm_fix_vend-ekorg and
             SCs 1st line item company code = zsrm_fix_vend-bukrs     and
           SCs currency = zsrm_fix_vend-currency                   and
           SCs Total value less than(<)zsrm_fix_vend-totalvalue.
My testing results and problems
1.     When I create a new SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PO in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
2.     When I create a new SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table, change document BADI is NOT changing the preferred vendor into fixed vendor and it is creating PR in the backend system. So this is working as expected.
3.     When I use Outline agreement in the SC, it is creating PO in the backend so change BADI logic is not affecting this existing functionality which is good.
4.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with less value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the greater value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the fixed vendor to the preferred vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
5.     Problem - When I copy a new SC from existing SC with greater value than totalValue from the custom table and then changing the amount with the lessser value than the custom table, change document BADI is not changing the preferred vendor to the fixed vendor and when I click on sources of supply tab - it is giving me an error Partner Function may not be Changed and it exits me to main shopping cart screen.
6.     When I copy the SC with Outline Agreement and change the amount it works all the time it is not affected by the change document BADI which is good.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Millions thanks to you!

Vendor List Deletion

Hi All,
We have a problem where we created a Vendor list and released it. The status of the vendor list is active but when we try to inactivate the vendor list of delete it the system throws two errors:
<b> Enter at least one item that is active or undergoing checks
System status INCM is active (Vendor List 90003)</b>
Can anybody throw light on this issue. I also tried to look for oss notes but found none.
Can somebody please tell us how to delete the vendor lists.
Thanks
Sundeep

Hi Sundeep,
We can not "delete" a VL. Only hold it.
How did you try to "delete" your released vendor list ?
If you deleted or inactivated all the vendors, then you can not "Release" the VL anymore, because you must enter at least one vendor (your first error message). So the VL is considered as incomplete (INCM: your second error message) and you can not release it.
But you can "Hold" it.
Then the status becomes "Not Released", and this VL won't be taken into account as a valid SOS.

Backend Contract in Vendor List

Hi All,
I have created a quantity contract in my R/3 backend which has the price specified, the contract is against a material group and no material code is specified.
I have assigned the contract number and item number along with the backend system reference to the vendor line in the vendor list for the same product category as specified in the contract.
When I create a "describe requirement" shopping cart for the product category and go to the Source of Supply tab I can see the contract reference for the vendor. However after assigning the vendor I get information message
"The price from the contract/info record is determined on ordering "
and have the following information on the source of supply tab
Vendor                   - Vendor name correctly specified
Contract / Item        - Contract nuumber and item number correctly specified
Purchasing Info Rec - Blank which is correct
Price                      - 0.00 GBP the price specified in the contract item is 525 GBP
Per                        - 1 Each which is correct
Is it possible for the price in the shopping cart to be updated based on the backend contract price as standard?
Cheers
Chris

Hi
I undersatnd that you have mentioned your backend contract in vendor list and it picks contarc but not a price. Please try contract without assigning to the vendor list .
As per general SRM
Automatic Price Determination in Shopping Cart
Priorities
Contract -Highiest priority
Catalog
Vendor Price
Product Price - Lowest priority
Existing Vendor Lists should be considered as well !
Are you getting source of supply like contract /info record entry hope that there no gray. i never tried this..but it is good try..
Source of Supply
cross check vendor list was activated..
regards
Muthu
