External requirements

[Former Member]

Hello SRM folks,

We are on SRM Server 5.5 with ECC 6.0 classic scenario. We have external requirements ( Purchase requisition in ECC) coming to SRM sourcing. In SRM we are creating GOA (Using SRM becuase of document builder) and distributing contract o backend ECC.

We are able able to create PO with reference to contract in ECC. But we want to reference purchase req (Because to carry all the accounting details to PO as SRM GOA does not passes accouting information to ECC contract) along with contract. When we create PO with refereence to contract and purchase req in ECC we get the following error message

Purchase requisition 10000601 00001 can only be ordered in system SRDCLNT301

Message no. 6Q 202, 6Q 203

Could you please suggest -

How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req.

OR

How can we pass the accounting information from SRM shopping cart to GOA to ECC to contract.

Thanks

Hi Pradeep

two business scenario here

(1) create a PR - assign a s source of supply in ECC (assigning vendor to purchase request via GOA) - Create a PO in ECC

tell us how you are assigning goa to purchase request ?

(2) if you have no unique fixed vendor in ECC or more than one source of supply for eg, you have 2 contracts and one info record for one PR now EPROFILE must set for your Purchase rquest

and this purchase request will be sent to SRM and create a sc and go to sourcing for vendor assignmen.

eprofile ASSIGNMENT is important here. at what conditions you are assignin. if you assgined EPROFILE for your PR , this PR will taken to cockpit for sourcing.

How you are assigning eprofile and how you are assigning vendor to PR and how it converts PO in your system.

Hi Pradeep,

Thanks in advance.

" How could we disable the error message so that we could create PO in ECC with reference to contract and purchase req. "

- this message is due to standard config we do in ECC for matl grp & pur grp for PR transfer in table T160EX

ECC books the combo of matl grp & pgrp for external system (SRM) and will not allow to process the PR in it.

a procurement profile is allotted in EBAN.

Don't think you can change the message type to Warning or info.

" How can we pass the accounting information from SRM shopping cart to GOA to ECC to contract"

- ECC IMG > Integration with Other SAP Components> Supplier Relationship Management>Business Add-Ins for SRM (BAdIs)>Contracts and Conditions>Change Contracts and Conditions>BBP_CTR

Use this ECC badi to enhance the accounting details in the incoming IDOC for contract creation.

Hi Dinesh / Pradeep

Could you get a fix to this issue, we are facing the same error after we have successfully distributed the SRM Central Contract to ECC and then trying to fullfil the MRP generated PR that we used for sourcing

We are in the classic scenario and in the classic scenario, we cannot create a Purchase ORder in ECC from SRM, it only creates local SRM PO

Hence we are doing the following process steps for PDP with PM scenario

1) MRP Run

2) Push the PR as a Shopping Cart to SRM

3) Select the Shopping Cart and create RFx

4) Publish the RFx and Award the Vendor with the SRM Central Contract

5) Distribute the SRM Central Contract to a ECC contract

6) Use ME57 to turn the MRP PR to a ECC PO by assigning the Distributed backend contract as a source of supply in ECC

We are failing step 6

Your answer was below, but it did not end in a resolutuoin

Please let me know the resolution to this step
