Yes. You can define your own number range for auction.

and you must define transction type for auction too..

Hi

In SPRO

SRM Number range

Define no range for Bid invitation

01 100000 199999

Define number range for auction

01 200000 299999

since both are different transcaction type / business objects.

Hi Chinna,

Any transaction type you wish to use must have number ranges defined. They are listed bellow:

Define Number Ranges for Shopping Carts and Follow-on Documents

Define Number Ranges per Backend System for Follow-on Documents

Define Number Range for Local Purchase Orders

Define Number Ranges for Purchase Order Response

Define Number Range for Local Bid Invitations

Define Number Range for Local Bids

Define Number Range for Local Confirmations of Services and Goods Receipts

Define Number Range for Local Invoices

Define Number Ranges for Invoice Defaults

Define Number Ranges for Purchase Contracts

Define Number Ranges for Vendor List

Define Number Ranges for Auctions

Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Number Ranges > SRM Server Number Ranges

You must also define Transaction Types in the following path:

Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Cross-Application Basic Settings > Define Transaction Types

Check the Strategic Sourcing Configuration Guide. If you want I can send it to you.

Hi muthuraman and Henry

Thanks for ur response

Actually i have strategic sourcing cockpit guide but was not clear on Auctions and Bidding

Actually i thought that when we were using Bidding Engine then only we need to create Bid Invitation and for Live Auction Cockpit we need to create Auction.

Even in LAC do we need to define number range,transaction type and create Bid Invitation

Hi,

Check in this way:

SAP Implementation Guide --> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Cross-Application Basic Settings --> Number Ranges --> SRM Server Number Ranges --> Define Number Ranges for Auctions

After create a new number range, define in the transaction type in this way:

SAP Implementation Guide --> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Cross-Application Basic Settings --> Define Transaction Types
