XI - SRM : info on RFQ

Hello Guyz!...
I am trying to develop an interface in XI to post 'Request For Quotation' into SRM system. Can anybody help me on this.. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Inorder to develop interface,you need to know Source Application details, data format, connection feasibility etc.
Anyway for SRM, SAP has delivered some pre-built XI content with mapping and design. So have a look into this guides to get the more so that, you can minimize custom work.
To check this- go to https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/ibc and search for SRM from Left Menu.
Other configuration guides-

RFQ transfer in SRM

Can RFQ (Bid Invitation/ Vendor Bid) be transferred from SRM to R/3 ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
when you have classic scenario the PO is directly created in R/3; in extended a copy of the PO is in R/3. So you have the PO in the Backend in either case.
The information is available in SRM for the RFQ - there is no sense to have double documents. The documents are connected like in the shopping cart, so there is a reference to the PO.
Cheers,
Claudia

Supplier Collaboration with SRM Bidding Engine

Hi All,
I'm looking at the SAP BIdding Engine with regards to supplier collaboration in the bidding process, my undertsanding is that SUS can be used for a single point of access for suppliers to submit their bids. I also understand that cFolders can be used to allow true collaboration in the bidding process i.e. review of bid, submit prices etc.
I have four questions around these scenarios
1. For collaboration in the sourcing process which is superior cFolders integration or SUS?
2. What is the advantages of SUS over cFolders in the sourcing process.
3. Could you use both products?
4. Can cFolders be used to pose questions from the supplier? i.e. a true sourcing process would usually be:
RFI > Supplier Info response > RFQ > Supplier pricing response
Cheers
Chris

1. Both has diff purposes. C-folder purpose is information exchange in terms of drgs, attachments, discussion etc.
so kind of technical exchange
whereas SUS forms common window for suppliers for collaberating with buyer co. for BI they can submit the price & conditions.
So kind of commercial exchange.
Superiority depends on the perspective
2. SUS you can use for odercollaberation also
i.e. for PO/SA from MM or EBP ,suppliers can
send responce
send ASN
post confirmation
post invoice
3. Yes

Installing BI Content objects for SRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to this group and i need your help for installing Business Content Objects for SRM based data flow.
We are working for a BW - SRM upgrade project and as per our requirements we need to build 11 - BI standard reports based on Shopping Cart, Shopping Cart Approvar & Central contracts. We have identified the relevant data sources (0BBP_TD_SC_1, 0BBP_TD_SC_APPR_1 , 0BBP_TD_CONTR_2) info providers/ characteristics & keyfigures from help.sap.com respective with query details.
We have checked in BW system and do not found any objects under SRM info area (infoobjects/info providers). As a first step we have activated the above said data sources in SRM system through RSA5 and ensured the data avaialbility through extractor check in RSA3.
We have replicated the Meta data and got the data soruce in inactive version. We are planning to install the business content for info objects, info providers, query elements..
We need your suggestions on how to proceed further and what are the checks need to be done before installing the objects.
Can any one provide an step by step document for installing the business content objects from scratch.
Regards,
Saravanan.M

Hi,
Tty to install objects in below sequence.
1. Application component
2. Info area
3. Catalogs
4. Info objects - Chars and Key figs.
5. DSO/CUBEs
6. Transformations, info pack and DTPs.
7. Bex Reports
While isntalling obejcts from BI content, use grouping option as - only necessary objects , do the simulation and later install in background.
If any obejcts already in active then use Match copy option there itself.
From google you may find them,
Use google search key as "Business Content in SAP BI".
Thanks

RFQ and Contract

Hello SRM Folks,
We are on SRM 5.0 and using SRM just for RFQ and Contract (other document like purchase requisition and PO are being created in ECC). So purchase precision will come from ECC to SRM souricng cockpit and from there buyer will create RFQ or contract. I have couple of questions regarding this scenario-
1. I am not sure if I need to replicate material from ECC ?
2. How can I replicate contract to ECC (FYI we do not want to create Global outline agreement)
3. Can somebody let me know which config guide I should follow ?
Thanks,
PS Full rewards to those who answer all of the questions.

Hi Jain
1) Suggest you to replicate materials. Refer Blog by Marcin /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
2) If you want to create contract in ECC from sourcing (or RFx), you need to implement BADI BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS. Check the sample implementation at https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/BBP_DETERMINE_LOGSYS-CONTRACT_LOGSYS_DETERMINE (if there is any problem with this link, goto SRM Wiki section in SDN)
3) You need to follow 'Contract Management Scenario' and 'Plan Driven Procurement' config, if you have Solution manager.
If you do not have solution manager, use 'Sourcing Config Guide' given in https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/Configuration+Guides (or service.sap.com/ibc-srm).

I need send the shop car from SRM for create a PR in SAP.
I need send the documents RFQ, PO and Contract from SAP to SRM. For RFQ need receive in SAP the data of price updated by the customer.
How to make this conection? There are standard interface for these data? What are these interfaces?
Thanks,
Luciano Lessa

Hello Ashutosh,
Thanks your help.
I have one question about replicate of the material master. In step by step say for complete the CRMSUBTAB table with following values:
User ObjectName U/D             Obj. Class   Function Obj. Type Funct. Name
CRM       empty       Download    Material        empty      empty       CRS_MATERIAL_EXTRACT
CRM       empty       Download    Material        empty      empty       CRS_CUSTOMIZING_EXTRACT
CRM       empty       Download    Material        empty      empty       CRS_SERVICE_EXTRACT
In our system is so:
User ObjectName U/D             Obj. Class                    Function Obj. Type Funct. Name
CRM       empty       Download    Material                        empty      empty       CRS_MATERIAL_EXTRACT
CRM       empty       Download    CUSTOMIZING             empty      empty       CRS_CUSTOMIZING_EXTRACT
CRM       empty       Download    SERVICE_MASTER      empty      empty       CRS_SERVICE_EXTRACT
This configuration is correct?
The field OBJ.CLASS is key of table, so not is possible add three like values.
Thanks,

Existing Info object inactive after BC from different version

Hi,
This is very bad! The system I am working on was upgraded from 3.5 to 7.0. I activated business content for SRM info providers. I managed to load master data, create info providers, etc, etc. When it came time to transport I was having problems all kinds of problems - the objects in QA became inactive also. So I re-activated all those objects in Dev and tried to transport again, it didn't give me an error but it still did not activate in QA - in the transport, I found the following messages. My transport was only the object and the attributes - no rules.
Transfer structure 0SBOGL_ACCOUNT_ATTR_AC could not be deactivated
Transfer structure 0SBOGL_ACCOUNT_ATTR_AE could not be deactivated
Transfer structure 0SBOGL_ACCOUNT_ATTR_AF could not be deactivated
Transfer structure 0SBO_ALTACT_ATTR_AF could not be deactivated
Can someone help me Please!!!!
Thanks
Suzanne

Objects were inactive - activated and now it's ok

Is there a way to automate the tax code assignation on non PO documents lik

I'm looking for a way to automate the tax code assignation on purchases, I'm aware of the condition techniques for POs, but I would like to understand if it can be also applied to the other document in purchases so we can have a totally automate process on tax code assignation.
Documents like: Contracts, Info records, RFQ, Scheduling agreements, Outline Agremments

What you need to do is to create condition tables & access sequences for condition type NAVS for purchasing documents like RFQ, Contract & Scheduling agreement. You can use the document types and document category to differentiate these. Obviously this is required only if your tax determination scenario is different between different document type, if the tax code to be determined is not linked to purchasing document type, then you only one access sequence which can have parameteris like PORG, vendor if required etc. which are common to all document types.
Once this configuration is done, then you need to maintain condition records using transaction MEK1 and maintain the tax codes as per the combination of parameters.
In case of Info-record, it is different as it is a master data and this automatic tax determination will not work there.

Manual PO in ECC

Hello Folks,
We are in a public sector project where we are using SRM for creating RFQ and Contract because of requirement of Document Builder functionality. We need your suggestion if the below scenario is supported. We want to activated Extended Classic (ECS) scenario. We are looking for the following process steps-
1. PR (Material group -Purchase Requisitions) will be created in ECC manually (No MRP).
2. PR will be transferred to SRM
3. Source of supply in SRM - RFQ
4. Create GOA (Global Outline Agreement) in SRM and distribute it to ECC.
5. Manually create PO in ECC referring above contract in source of supply.
6. Confirmations and Invoices created in ECC
I am afraid about manually creating PO (Point # 5) in ECC referring contract created in SRM (GOA). Will it be possible to create manual PO in ECC referring ECC contract (SRM GOA which is distributed TO ECC).
Please tell your opinion .
Thanks,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Your scenario is a valued business scenario, it should work perfectly.
BTW we are also implementing SRM with public sector, let me know if we can share the experiences around document builder in SRM.
you can reach me at [email protected]
Thank you

Send RFQ and PO from SAP R/3 to SRM

Hi all,
I am new to SRM and need send the RFQ and PO created in SAP R/3 release 4.7 for SRM Server 5.0. I am using a distribution model (ALE) between the systems with the message types REQOTE and ORDERS associated to IDOC types ORDERS02 and ORDERS05 respectively. This scenario not have PI/XI implemented.
My problem is what this IDOC types aren't disponible on SRM and do not know how to receive this IDOCs.
Is there any way standard in SRM to receive these IDOCs? How can resolved this question?
Thanks,
Luciano Lessa

Hi,
Thank you for replying Masa,
My customer doesn't want the sourcing done in SRM. The SRM will be used by the supplier to update the prices in RFQs and will then be sent to SAP.
As PO, not know what is possible create a confirmation on SRM without a PO. If the PO doesn't exist in the SRM, know how the relationship between PO and Confirmation? You have some material about that question?
Thanks,
Luciano

Info record mandatory for shopping cart creation in SRM classic scneario

Hi Gurus,
We are creating shopping cart in our SRM 7.01 system in classic mode. We have not created any info record for the product category and vendor in the backend ECC system.
Do we need create an info record for the particular combination of material group/material and supplier in the ECC backend system so that the shopping cart in SRM classic scenario creates a PO directly in the system?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Hi Sam,
Thanks for your update. So, what you mean that the SRM shopping cart with a direct vendor or contract can create a PO directly in the backend system even if the backend system does not have nay info record for the particular combination of the material and vendor.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Transfer RFQ from R/3 to SRM-EBP

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.5. I want to transfer RFQ from R/3 to SRM-EBP.
Please suggest.
Note: I have some idea.
1. R/3 - I will create a Z Program
2. In this program I will get the details of RFQ in R/3.
3. I will create a RFC Function Module in SRM.
4. In my R/3 program I will call SRM RFC Function Module.
5. I will pass all the RFQ details into my SRM RFC Function Module.
6. Now I have the RFQ details in SRM-EBP in that SRM RFC Function Module.
7. In this SRM RFC Function Module I need to create a BID based on my R/3 RFQ details
8. My doubt: what coding is required to create a BID in SRM-EBP.
Because I can't use BDC to create BID in SRM-EBP.
Regards,
Natchiappan.M

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But How can I pass the guid as a input for that function module.
I tried that function module. If you have some sample code with this function module Please share with me.
Thanks and Regards,
Natchiappan.M

SRM BID over R/3 RFQ

Need to know the advantage of SRM Bid/Auction over R/3 RFQ
a.Can RFQs be converted to electronic format/files?
b.Are RFQs directly convertible to OAs or POs?
c.Can Suppliers be notified of acceptance electronically from within SRM? If so, would this require activation of the Supplier Portal?
d.R3 requires Vendor Codes for all RFQ participants Does SRM allow RFQs to be sent to Suppliers without having to set up a Vendor Master Record?
e.Non-Material Coded Text driven RFQs are particularly cumbersome in R3 Does SRM offer any enhancements/advantages for these types of RFQs?
Regards

Hi JJJ J,
a.Can RFQs be converted to electronic format/files?
--> yes
b.Are RFQs directly convertible to OAs or POs?
--> POs and Contracts
c.Can Suppliers be notified of acceptance electronically from within SRM? If so, would this require activation of the Supplier Portal?
--> Yes / No
d.R3 requires Vendor Codes for all RFQ participants Does SRM allow RFQs to be sent to Suppliers without having to set up a Vendor Master Record?
--> Yes; they need to have at least a Business Partner Record
e.Non-Material Coded Text driven RFQs are particularly cumbersome in R3 Does SRM offer any enhancements/advantages for these types of RFQs?
--> ?; Text can be entered in SRM as well
Cheers,
Claudia

Use of Purchase info records in SRM SC in Extended Classic scenario

Hi All,
We have implemented SRM 7.13 with Extended classic scenario. If we have Purchase info record in SAP ECC for the material, it gets populated in SRM SC in Source of supply Tab but the price of Purchase info record does not get updated in the SC line item.
Can anyone let me know which configurations is required to fetch the Purchase info record price or we need to have a customization to achieve this.
Thanks,
Ankur

HI Ankur
when you say the price did not get updated did you check the sequence which is used for price determination ?
1. User entry
2. Contracts
3. Info record
If still you think it is an issue please check the report EBP_GET_BACKEND_PRICES and let me know if your problem gets fixed?
Regards
Vinita
