In the case of Bidding, Vendor will submit 1pack bid and 2pack bid.

[Former Member]

Hi SRM GURUu2019S,

We are implementing SRM 5.5, SUS, cFolder, and LAC.

Scenario : In the case of Bidding, Vendor will submit 1pack bid and 2pack bid. If vendor submitted 2pack bid, We want evaluate Techno-commercial bid, If he qualifies then we will accept him to Price bid, In Live Auction or In the Bidding Engine. If the vendor not qualified we have to send me a letter.

Question : 1. How to evaluate weather is it 1Pack bid and 2 Pack bid?.

2. How to evaluate 2 pack bid Techno-commercial?.

3. How to send a letter to rejected vendors?.

Greatly appreciate, If any help me to find solution.

Thanks & Regards,

John.

Hi,

I appreciate that you are implementing SRM 5.5, SUS, cFolder, and LAC.

You are implementing the Sourcing scenario.

Instead of implementing in SRM 5.5 better go for SRM 7.0 with Procurement for public sector (PPS) fucntionality

The following advantages are the.

1. 1 pack bid (single Cover system)

2. 2 pack bid (Double cover system)

is a standard functionality in SRM 7.0 /pps in addition you can enter the Tender Fees,EMD Fees ,

also. While creating the bid itself you can select 1 pack bid (or) two pack bid

Question : 1. How to evaluate weather is it 1Pack bid and 2 Pack bid?.

if it is 1 pack bid you have to enter the opening date and time only once where the technical bid and price bid will be there.

if it is 2 pack bid the technical bid opening date and time is say 11.08.2009 the price bid opening date 25.08.2009 can be set and the bids are published

2. How to evaluate 2 pack bid Techno-commercial?.

There is a comparison button in SRM 5.5 and in SRM 7.0 also the same functionality.Out of the bids that wer submitted it will choose the least.. but for practical purpose each client has to decide on other factors .so better price comparison should be done manually even though system propose the least price

3. How to send a letter to rejected vendors?.

you have sent a mail or letter out of SAP .(or) most probably during the bid itself all the bidders will be participating there you can announce and sent the mail perosonally (or) Z program can be written

In SRM 5.5 you have to do some developments for the 2 pack system

IT IS STANDARD IN SRM 7.0 WITH PPS AND IT IS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET..

Better convince the client to go for SRM 7.0 which is released in APRIL 2009 ..

SRM 7.0 is supported by WEBDYNPRO BASED and WORKFLOW for approval is new called

BUSINESS RULE FRAMEWORK (BRF)

Hope you are clear

Hi Ganesh,

Thank you very much for your response. I have already explained advantage of SRM 7.0 and PPS to the Client. I think they are not interesting, because of Financial problem. Any how I have configure the system. I am not very well those areas. If you could explain how can I overcome this gap in SRM 5.5. Greatly appreciated...

Hi,

The following are the main GAPs between SRM 5 & SRM 7.0

1. Tender fees payment.;

To be linked with payment gateway if you are going for online payment (otherwise ) many report to track all the tender fees

2. EMD fees payment.

Report for all the EMD payment since the EMD refund is manual in SRM 7.0

3. Price comparisons for each bid

you have to do development with the help of SAP ABAP. and test the same

All the above depends on the client requirments..

first study the AS IS PROCESS and map with SRM 5.0 .what ever you cannot do in SRM 5.0 is the GAP.

your client is in India (or) out of India can you mention..

Hi Ganesh,

There is gap in case of 2pack bid. Where the gap is there we can develop. But how by using BADI, or Module pool program etc. Specify which one will be developed. If we developed, how to call into browser?. User has to execute t-code from Browser.

How?. Please specify clear details.

I appreciate reply.
