Please help me in this regard

Hi Babu,
How can i handle errors from here??
For exemple I need to give my own message, delete a standard one, and position cursor on a custom field.
In Purchase Order I could use macros from mm_messages_mac.
For example: mmpur_remove_messages_by_id ID
But the problem is that this ID i couldn't find.
Please help.
Have a nice day

Handling Errors in Purchase Requisition

Hi guys,
For handling errors in Purchase Orders is quite simple because it can be used mm_messages_mac.
and there can be used macros:
- for adding new errors
mmpur_message_forced 'E' 'ZM' '048' TEXT-003 ' ' ' ' ' ' .
- for removing errors, it can be used:
mmpur_remove_messages_by_id *ID*
Almost all the macros from mm_messages_mac. uses this ID. What is that ?
So, for PO (Purchase Order - ME2XN) is very simple to implement BADI's like ME_PROCESS_CUST_PO, where there can be found that ID in the methods structures (mepo*), which is used by those macros.
But how can you handle errors in Purchase Requisition (PR - ME5XN) ??? In ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST, for exemple, none of the methods contains structures with that ID field.
Please Help.
I couldn't find any answer on the internet. It seems that nobody knows. Isn't it ??

SRM Workflow for external Purchase requisitions ECC

Dear experts,
We are in SRM 7 Classic scenario , ECC 6. Using SRM process controlled workflow . We want to enable SRM workflow for external Purchase requisitions. As per SAP note 505030 topic 16 , approval is not triggered in SRM for external requirements. So we need to find a new solution as it's a clinet requirement.
Current scenario:
External purchase requisition created from ME51N or Plant maintenance are sent to SOCO for buyer completion. External PRs generate a SC BUS2121 EXTR in status approved.
Desired scenario:
We want those external requirements to be sent to SRM for approval (approval with completion + approval)
After implementing changes suggested in Prasannau2019s document (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770 ) , the Workflow is still not triggered for the external PRs, the SC is created but remains in status awaiting approval. No work item is created (neither in BBP_PD not in SWI6, not in SWIA).
Can anyone provide some guidance on what else need to be changed in order to activate SRM Workflow for external PRs?
Many thanks in advance,
Nuria

Hi Any one got answere this issue. I also implemented the steps provided in the document created by Prasannau2019s. The workflow is getting triggered for external requisitions now but when we are changing the PR in ECC and transferring again that time its not gettign triggered neighther its restarting the exisiting approval workflow in process (if any).
Thanks,

Workflow for MM purchase Requisition steps required

Dear all,
        I am trying to configure purchase requisition Workflow.
        I am working with Work flow, WS 00000038
        I have assigned agents to TS 20000162
        Now how to proceed further, do i need to maintain some more settings
        or i should try to test system.
        Regards,
        Gaurav sood

Under the assumption that things have not changed much since 4.70, here's quick introduction:
The workflow is started only when a relevant release strategy is found, so customizing of release strategies is a very important (first) step here.
In the Implementation Guide you find the customizing in the following path:
Materials Management
-- Purchasing
-- -- Purchase Requisition
-- -- -- Release Procedure
-- -- -- -- Procedure with Classification
Only the procedures with classification are relevant if you want to use workflow to notify about requisitions waiting for release.
First you must set up a classification class if that has not already been done. Derive your characteristics from the structure CEBAN. The online help is not too bad, I had never set up classifications before and managed to get it working.
If you need data that are not available in CEBAN, or you want to modify them for the purpose of determining the release strategy there is an enhancement you can implement, and there are customer fields you can use. The enhancement definition's name is M06B0002.
As an example of what you can do, I have used it to set the company code in one of the customer fields, and to change the account assignment type. However, whether you need this enhancement or not depends strongly on what data you use to determine your release procedures (a step in customizing you will get to later).
When that is done you define release groups and release codes. Release codes are defined within each release group. Whether you should use one group or several groups is often a matter of choice.
I myself prefer using several groups even if I don't have to, so long as it doesn't lead to having to define duplicate release strategies (which you will soon get to). So, if there is some characteristic that clearly separates your release strategies, e.g. the highest amount that does NOT require release etc, you can define one group for each value (group) of this characteristic.
For instance, if some company codes require release for everything worth more than 100EUR while the default is to require release from 10.000EUR you could create to release groups. None of your release strategies will be duplicates since the value from which release is required will be different and you thus need to have that as a characteristic.
You then check that the set-up of release indicators is OK, and then you are ready to start defining the strategies. Release stragies are defined within each release group, and use one or more release codes (two or more release indicators).
It is fairly self-explanatory once you get into the screens. The thing to be observant about is to not define overlapping strategies, as this will prevent the solution from working.
When you are done, and have tested the solution in DEV it is time to transport it to the QA system. That's when I got a rather unpleasant surprise. The classification data are not transported, so both the characteristics and class, as well as the classification data in each release strategy had to be redefined. And in roughly two hours I have to do it again in production.
It is possible to transport classification information, it is described in SAP OSS Notes (different solutions for different versions).

ENABLE SRM WORKFLOW FOR EXTERNAL PURCHASE REQUISITIONS

Hi,
Iu2019m creating a shopping cart using an external approver. We require external requisition to be completed by the purchasibg manager.
The changes were implemented as outlined in the document
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770
I create the purchase req in the external system and the transfer the requisition to SRM. A shopping cart is then created. This shopping cart goes to the purchasing manager for completion. Upon completion by purchasing manager, a message appears to say 'External requisitions do not require an approval process' and
the workitem remains in their inbox.
This workflow processed correctly for normal shopping carts. I canu2019t understand why it does work for external purchasing requisitions.
thanks
Ann

Workflow email for Purchase Requisition Approval

We have a requirement of sending email to the approvers for approving purchase requisition. Alongwith the email sent out to the approvers (to their Outlook/ Lotus Notes Inbox), we will also like to show the content of the line items of the purchase requisiton. i understand this can be done since in the past at other implementations, I have seen that the email contains the link to goto SAP Ibox and it also shows the content of the requistions.
Our issue is that we are not being able to pass on the content of the requistion line items to the approvers inbox. Is there a setting to activate this in workflow or somewhere that we are missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Material not maintained by purchasing : error in purchase requisition

Dear Experts ,
I have created a new material of material type ZSPR where the purchasing view is already extended. I can see
the purchasing view after selecting the plant in the material master. But when trying to add the line item in
Purchase requisition for this material ,then i am getting message "Material xxxxxxxxxxxx not maintained by
purchasing".
when I go the material master & click on the purchasing view , message in bottom is shown with tick in green
round background "No plant-specific data exists"
I have created hundreds of materials in past 10 days , but this problem comes only for 3 to 4 materials.
Kindly advise how to resolve.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anil Shanbhag

Hi Anil,
Good day.
This problem occurs because there is no purchasing view plant specific i.e. you may be extended the purchasing view for some other plant.
1. Go to MM01.
2. Select Purchasing view.
3. Enter appropriate plant.
4. Enter relevant data & save.
If this doesn't help revert back.
Regards
Anil

Error creating purchases requisition in backend

Hi
Can anyone help please.
We are implementing SRM 7.0 using the Classic Scenario. After the shopping cart has been approved a requisition or purchase order is failing to be created in the backend system. The error being received is:
'Shopping cart 0000100372 (PReq. 0090030753): ME 013 Document type ec not allowed with doc. cat egory B (Please check input)'
I believe I have carried out all the necessary configuration, and was wondering if anyone else has had this error, or knows what is causing the problem.
Many Thanks
Claire

Hi
please explain what type of cart it was? Is it a limit sc or normal cart?
in your backend do you have framework order type to handle item category B.
check ecc docuemnt type settings for EC doc type. is it allows Item category B too? hope B , you may need to enter if not available if business wants.
check doc type of both PO as well as PR in the backend

Reg: Workflow for Overall Purchase Requisition Release

Hi Experts,
I have got a requirement in Overall or Header level PR release.
My question is,
for Header Level release,
I am using BUS2105 and what are the event I need to maintain,
so that my workflow get trigger.
Regards,
Shriraam

Hello ShriRam,
         You have to use RELEASESTEPCREATED event if release steps are configured.
          If no release steps are configured,you can use CREATED event.In such case, you have to implement a BAdI named ME_REQ_POSTED.
         In either case, you have to use the change document BANF in the transaction code SWEC.
