Why do I got "Source of supply reset"???

Hello,
We are on SRM 5.00 SP12 on classic scenario.
When we want to create a Catalog Shopping cart from a copy of an old one I got the message "Source of supply reset. Assign a new one, if necessary" and my Source of supply is reset. This is only for some supplier. Do you know where does the error can come from?
thanks for help!

Hi,
Refer the foll OSS note for solution:
Note 758481 - Sources of supply disappear in case of company code change

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic

Hi All
i have read many SAP Press books and materials but no where officially mentioned INFORECORD as source of supply but we could use INFORECORD as source of supply in the classic. Why SAP did not agree inforecord is a valid source of supply in any of the officical books.What could have stopped to write this point.Dfinetly some good meaning is there. Why SAP SRM definitions are missing.
for eg.by martin murray and srm materials.etc..
appreciate your thoughts..

Hi Muthu,
It's a good question. Indeed, I also couldn't find any documentation in the SAPhelp about the inforecord.
We call the backend system in the plugin function B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI at the line:
* Get sources of supply from backend system for all items
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI'
    DESTINATION lv_destination
    EXPORTING
      iv_find_contract      = iv_find_contract
      iv_find_inforecord    = iv_find_inforecord
      iv_read_price         = iv_read_price

SRM resets source of supply

Hello,
Does anyone know how to lock source of supply during edit of Product Category or Purchasing Group? In many cases a Requisitioner does not know the correct product category so when a Buyer updates this field we would like the supplier to remain assigned.
Thanks,
Tom
Edited by: TKC317 on Mar 25, 2011 2:58 PM

Hello Tom,
I have understood from your requirement that you donot want preferred evndor to be deleted when Buyer changes say product category or price.
For achieving this functionality, we have implemented BADI_DOC_CHANGE_BADI . Wherein if the pre specified paramters say product category is changed the deletion indicator is set to blank and as a consequence the vendor is kept in the item.
Thanks

Error 'No valid source context supplied' for getEntity / getEntitySet call

Hi All
we have configured our ECC system with IW_BEP and Gateway as standalone system. We have developed the Gateway Services using SEGW in backend ECC system and have registered these services on Gateway system.
However when we are executing getEntity or getEntitySet methods in Browser or Gateway Client, the call is failing with error message 'No valid source context supplied.'
I checked the error log for this issue and it says Deserialization of XML failed via transformation ''. Can you guys suggest what could be the issue with this error? Is this due to in-correct configuration? In our Gateway system, we have created System-Alias for ECC system with both check-boxes for Local GW & For Local App as unticked. The RFC destination underlying this System alias is working fine.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Deepak Salokhe

Hello Deepak,
OK thanks for sharing the info regarding Key.
Can u try checking why its failing in method /IWBEP/CL_MGW_REMOTE_HANDLER-->REQUEST_PROCESS ?
Only way is to debug Deepak. Since error is not specific we nned to debug in these kind of cases and try to know y its failing. This might help and we may get some info which will help fixing things.
This problem is only happening for this particular service ? or its happening for all the services ?
Check this first. If its happening for rest of the services then problem is something else with the GW/BE components only. If not then its service specific.
Can u try regenerating objects again and check ?

Source of Supply in PR not filled correctly

Hello,
Could somebody explain me why Source of Supply is sometimes not filled with appropriate data ?
Here is my detailed case :
I have maintained a quota between 2 suppliers.
For supplier 1, I have a contract and no PIR.
For the supplier 2, I have only a PIR.
In the source list, I put the contract for supplier 1 and an entry for supplier 2. Both are relevant for MRP.
I am putting some independant requirements on the material (MD61) and running the MRP.
The PR are well splitted between the 2 sources, but in the PR associated to supplier 2, PIR is not indicated in Source of Supply and sometimes even Purchasing Organization is not found.
In the cases Purchasing Organization is found, but not the PIR, when I am converting the PR in PO, the PIR is found at PO creation.
I do not understand what is missing for the system to put all information directly in PR.
Thank you for your help !
Laetitia

first of all. just one source in the source list can be MRP relevant.
if you flag more than one, then the you cannot be sure which source SAP is determining, either the first or the last.
anyhow in case or quota arrangement, SAP first checks the Quota arrangement, and later checks the source list, e.g. to determine if delivery schedules have to be created or if the source is valid at all.
The quota arrangement has no information about purchasing org. hence this info cannot be filled

Assign Source of Supply for Services

Hi,
I understand that Materials has source list and the system can actually suggest possible vendors for the material via t-code ME25.
However, I am now dealing with services with service master defined and service conditions maintained. I can create PR via ME51 and assign source of supply but I can't do this for PO via ME25 as that is catered for materials only (even if I entered item category D, it shows as a material PO).
My question is, is there any default SAP transactions that allow me to create a service PO with the Assign source supply function? If no, what kind of enhancements can I look into to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In a normal PO there is no auto assignment of sources so I am not sure why you think that there might be for a services PO?
Remember that to create a PO, you have to specify the vendor first, so how can it assign a source automatically if you have to manually enter the source before you can do anything?
If you are creating a PO with reference to a requisition or contract, again there is no auto source allocation because the source is being taken from the requisition.
So you need to try to allocate the source to the requistion and not the PO

Assign Source of Supply User Exit with Quota Arrangements in ME57 and ME56

Hi there,
We are using Quota Arrangements to define Vendor rebate levels and we have enabled User Exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 to provide a more informative popup to replace standard Source of Supply popup as need to display current allocation quantities and % allocation fulfiled.
This User Exit is invoked during Assign Source of Supply during PReq processing (More precisely during Assign Source of Supply in ME51n and Automatic Source of Supply in ME57 and ME56) which all works fine.
When used in ME51n and Source of Supply Assigned and PReq saved, the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is successfully updated with the relevant amount
When using ME56 or ME57 to Automatically Assign source of Supply via the PReq list, the User Exit is invoked correctly and on selecting Vendor and saving the PReq is update correctly, however the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is NOT updated with the relevant amount
I have searched SAP Notes and debuged with limited success but cannot find evidence as to why this difference is happening - I assume that it has something to do with User Exit but any advice gratefully received if anyone else has experienced this issue?
Ben

Hello Jerry,
source will be determine based on the following points:
Outline Agreement
Info record
Quota Arrangement
Source List

No Requisition Found in Assign sources of Supply, under central function

Steps followed:
1) PR is created in ECC prod 1000000262
2) Through SRM after selecting the PR we selected Collective Processing
and then transfered to sourcing cockpit. We got the green message
transfered to sourcing.
3) We tried to access the same PR in Assign Source of supply in central
function. But we could not access the the PR. The message is "No
requisition found; verify your entries ".
Any clue or solution to this Issue. ??
Thanks in advance

Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

why does my printer say used supply in use? And I can't print anything

Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..

Sources of supply for product

Hi all
Why can i remove assigned vendor in the shopping cart (Sources of supply for product/Service Agent) when i choose a product from the "Internal Good/services" way, but i can´t remove it when i choose it from the SRM-MDM Catalog way???? the thing is that we have a contract for this product but in different ways we can remove and another way we can not...
We dont know if this is a bug... or what.
Obviously we are testing with the same product.
Note: we are using SRM 5.0. (SRM_PLUS - SAPKIBK012; SRM_SERVER - SAPKIBKT12; ST-PI - SAPKITLQI5); SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP03 Patch01.
Plase help.

Hi Jose,
the catalog consists the agreed price list of the products with one specific vendor, therefore neither the vendor can be removed nor the price can be changed.
This is the standard behavior.

Assign Source of Supply to External Catalogue Vendors

Hi there,
we're running on EBP 3.5, replicated catalogue Vendors in the structure, assigned the BP and Purch Org in customizing, created contracts with relevant Mat Group, but when the system returns to EBP from the website doesn't assign the cart automatically to the vendor.
Might that be because there's more contracts with diff mat groups per single vendor?
Thanks very much for your help,
Enrico

If the purchasing requisition is assigned to a contract as source of supply, then you can see it in ME5A transaction before and after the PR was converted to a PO.
And you can see it in all purchasing list reports such as ME2N, in the schedule view, here you have even PO number, contract number and requisition number in one view.
Technically the table for requisition is EBAN which has a contract number field.
however this is only good before the PR got converted to a PO, as it is possible to create several POs from one requisition, you better get the PO-PR reference from EKET table, and the PO-contract reference from the EKPO table

Source of Supply Error?

Hi,
I am currently experiencing the following problem: (We are running SRM 5)
I replicate vendors from the R/3 system to SRM via BBPGETVD trans code.
I select the correct Object ID (for the Vendor Org structure I created in PPOCV_BBP)
I check that the Vendors have been replicated (They appear in Vendor Org structure PPOMV_BBP)
BUT these newly replicated Vendors do not appear in the Source of Supplier when I try to assign them when creating a Shopping Cart?? Its strange cos the previous batch of vendors I replicated worked fine and appear in the Source of Supply??
Ive also run the business partner check transaction: BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE and checked that the Org units are synchronized. I have green lights for everything.
Ive checked that the replicated vendor is mapped to the correct Purchasing Org, Manually in the Frontend (with Admin user via Manage Business Partners) and
via the Backend with trans code BBP_UPDATE PORG. The vendor is assigned to the correct Purch Org.
What am I missing here? Any help would be appreciated.

Backend Source of Supply not supported for Direct Material in SRM

Hi ,
When creating S/C or PO in SRM for Direct Material , backend Source of Supply ( i..e Purchasing Info Record or Backend Contracts ) not availble to select as a sourc of supply .
In our case, we are planning to maintain the sourc of supply (PIR or Contracts) in back end MM system only , then how can pick up the same ?
Can anyone please suggest on this .
Regards
NAP

NO Prashanta,
It is still pending for me . i just raised OSS message to SAP ...but SAP saying that
" I checked and found that in the classic scenario , Direct Materials cannot use backend contracts. The behavior described above is in accordance with the system design. Only local sources of supply (local contracts and interlinkages) can be
used in the direct material scenario, as well as as in the extended classic scenario . Therefore the above error message which you get "Specify a valid contract" is valid."
I replied with the doubt that "Thanks for reply but we are not convenience, since what we learnt from
different SAP Blogs, Below SAP help and SRM Experts discussion forum
is, for Ext Classic Scenario (since for direct materials it always
tales by default Ext Classic Scenario, although we implemented Classic)
Local SRM contract and Supplier List are the possible Source of Supply.
As per SAP help documentation for Self-Service Procurement (Extended
Classic) on below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/e0/f6be5157a24340bf7b1279854a52e1/frameset.htm u201CYou can assign the sources proposed by the
system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single
contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a
quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier listu201D
As per SAP help documentation for Sourcing Using Supplier Lists on
below link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/d8/33ec56f17f4404806072749f7e764f/frameset.htm u201CIn supplier lists, you can also manually allocate
back-end contracts from specific systems. This enables more effective
sourcing for back-end contractsu201D
In the Supplier List there is facility to enter the ECC Contract
Number. Supplier List donu2019t support local SRM contract. It supports
only ECC Contract /item.
As per your reply, do you mean to say that Source List is not a valid
Source of Supply for Direct Material in Classic Scenario (i.e. Ext
Classic scenario)? If not, then why the backend ECC Contract displays
as a Source of Supply, when we check the u201COrder as direct Materialu201D?
Kindly suggest"
Lets see.what SAP now replies.
Simultaniously I'm looking some enhancment
If you have nay update/soultion then please share with me.
