populate the preferred vendor in SRM shopping cart

[fisher_li]

If SRM users entered “preferred vendor” for only one line item in a shopping cart which has more than one line items, I tried to populate the preferred vendor for the rest of line items.

I tried to use BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to insert the “preferred vendor” data into ET_PARTNER table, but I don’t know how SAP populates the “PARTNER_GUID” in that table. When I debugged, I can tell it was not from tables VENMAP & BUT000. It was unique in each line in imported table IT_PARTNER.

Do I need to populates the “PARTNER_GUID” for my records?

Or can I just overwrite one of the record in ET_PARTNER table?

Please help!

Hi Fisher,

Here is a sample code that convert preferred vendor into fixed vendor.

You can easily change it to your requirement )

method IF_EX_BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI~BBP_SC_CHANGE .

Constants : c_vendor type BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT

value '00000019',

c_preferred_vend type BBP_PDS_PARTNER-PARTNER_FCT

value '00000039'.

Data : ls_partner type BBP_PDS_PARTNER.

*Read Table it_partner into ls_partner With key PARTNER_FCT = c_vendor.

*

*If sy-subrc NE 0.

Loop at it_partner into ls_partner

where PARTNER_FCT Eq c_preferred_vend.

Move c_vendor To Ls_partner-PARTNER_FCT.

Modify it_partner from ls_partner index sy-tabix.

Endloop.

*Endif.

et_partner[] = it_partner[].

ET_ORGDATA[] = IT_ORGDATA[].

ET_ITEM[] = IT_ITEM[].

ES_HEADER = IS_HEADER.

ET_ACCOUNT[] = IT_ACCOUNT[].

*break ybo

*IT_PARTNER

*ET_PARTNER[]

endmethod.

Kind regards,

Yann

Yann,

My problem was that I didn't want to change the "Fixed vendor" if "Fixed vendor" was chosen. If there is more than one Free Text line items in a shopping cart and user only entered "Preferred Vendor" for one line item, I would like to populate the "Preferred Vendor" for all Free Text line items, not the line items which had "Fixed Vendor".

Thanks for your help and hope you can provide me some idea!

Best regard,

Fisher Li

Hello,

You don't have to worry about the partner guid. It's just used as an internal identifier. Relation to the item is made only through the parent guid (field p_guid).

If no partner/prefered vendor or fixed vendor exist for the item, just add a line in partner table with all necessary values (parent guid, partner function, ..) and populate the field partner_guid with a new guid using the function GUID_CREATE.

Rgds,

Pierre

Pierre,

Thank you very much and you solved my problem.

I would like to share the codes with others if they are interested:

• If SRM users entered “preferred vendor” for only one line item

• in a shopping cart which has more than one line items,

• populate the preferred vendor for the rest of line items.

• Get the Preferred vendor that user entered

LOOP AT IT_PARTNER INTO PF_PARTNER WHERE PARTNER_FCT = '00000039' "Preferred vendor

AND PARTNER_NO <> ''. " Vendor guid number

ENDLOOP.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

• Check if any "free text" line item existed

LOOP AT IT_ITEM INTO LS_ITEM_IMPORT WHERE CATALOGID = ''

AND CATALOGITEM = ''

AND DEL_IND IS INITIAL

AND BE_OBJECT_ID IS INITIAL. " No purchase req created yet

• Check if "free text" line item has preferred vendor

LOOP AT IT_PARTNER INTO LS_PARTNER WHERE P_GUID = LS_ITEM_IMPORT-GUID

AND PARTNER_FCT = '00000039' "Preferred vendor

AND PARTNER_NO <> ''. " Vendor guid number

ENDLOOP.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• this "free text" line item does not have preferred vendor assigned

• populate preferred vendor for this line items.

PF_PARTNER-P_GUID = LS_ITEM_IMPORT-GUID.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUID_CREATE'

IMPORTING

EV_GUID_16 = PF_PARTNER-PARTNER_GUID.

.

APPEND PF_PARTNER TO LT_PARTNER.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

I have the exact requirement to auto populate preferred vendor onto the source of supply field if a user enter a sc item preferred vendor.

BUT i am getting only one sc item in the loop at sc_items. I am not getting all the sc items at once.
