SC to PO mapping error - Business Partners not transferred

[Former Member]

Hi there,

We have just upgraded from SRM 3.0 to SRM 5.0. We are using Extended Classic scenario.....

When creating a shopping cart that has no approval....it does create a local PO on SRM but there are NO business partner details in the PO at all (when viewing it in BBP_PD)

I have looked at this note:

Note 1140956 - Partner fields are not updated in purchase order

But it is already in the system....;-(

I assume all the logic happens in function module "BBP_PD_SC_MAP_TO_PO_LOC"

I see how the code looks for each partner function....something like:

READ TABLE it_sc_partner WITH KEY p_guid = lt_h_ref_list-item_guid
                                        partner_fct = lv_partner_fct
                                         del_ind    = gc_no.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        et_po_partner              = it_sc_partner.
        et_po_partner-p_guid       = lv_item_guid.
        APPEND  et_po_partner.
      ENDIF.

Obviously this sort of READ TABLE is not working....and hence the PO business partners remain BLANK...

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Did the shopping cart have a supplier populated to it?

Only the Price field is mandatory for the Approval workflow to start. Hence, I assume that the Supplier field was originally blank when you created the shopping cart.

In such a case, a PO is created in the HELD status & that is the standard way SRM works.

Hi there,

The supplier / vendor partner function is populated in the SC....

Here are the Partners in the SC

0000000001 00000019 Vendor

0000000001 00000016 Requester

0000000001 00000020 Goods Recipient

0000000001 00000027 Ship-To Address

0000000001 00000075 Location

Any other ideas?

Hi Lynton,

I see that you have actually mentioned the standard partner types in SRM - 19 for fixed vendor, 16 for requestor & so on...These are not the actual vendor or the requestor numbers.

Cheers,

Akash
