Bidder User

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have transferred the vendors from ECC to SRM. They were automatically uploaded in transaction PPOMV_BBP as buisness partners.

I have created the users for these vendors (bidders) assigning role /SAPSRM/BIDDER.

How then I relate the user to the business partner?

Many thanks

Hi,

How did you create the bidder user?

Please log on with system admin or strategic purchaser role. You see POWL for Supplier, Bidder, etc..

Hi Massa,

Thanks for your quick answer.

I was wrongly creating the bidder in SU01. Now I am creating the Bidder in the Enterprise Portal under the Strategic Purchaser POWL for Bidder.

Afterr filiing all required fields I am getting the following error:

Organizational unit 00000000 does not exist; check entries

Error creating business partner's 'organization'. Inform system admin.

Error while creating organizational unit; inform system admin.

Error occurred while locking organizational unit 00000000

In field "Central Organizational Object for Bidder * " I am indicating the value VG50000032 (also tried with VG50000008)

I have the following structure in PPOMV_BBP:

Vendor Group Assignment Code ID

Vendor Root Node ROOT_VENDOR VG 50000008

D2009090716522200001 D00001 VG 50000032

Bidder AG / Address 10000010 BP 10000010

What could be the problem?

Many thanks,

Ezequiel

Hi,

I was able to create the Bidder in BBPMAININT. As the Vendor Business Partner is already created as it is transferred from ECC to SRM, I only need to create Employee and User for Business partner. I used the option Create Employee for Business Partner under BBPMAININT. The result was the inclusion of the employee and user data under the Vendor in PPOMV_BBP Contact Person tab.

What is the transaction to do this in EP?

I have the following under Strategic Purchaser POWL:

Create Business Partner

Supplier

Invoicing Party

Purchasing Company

Location

Bidder

Portal

Thanks

Hi,

use button called "Create Contact Person with Reference" in POWL query for "Supplier" or "Bidder". Button is enabled when entry in POWL is selected.

Best regards,

Hi Marco,

I am not being able to see the button "Create Contact Person with Reference" . Is this button inside the Bidder Transaction?

I am entering through the following path: EP --> Strategic Purchasing --> Business Partner --> Bidder.

Inside Bidder I see three tabs:

Company Data

Contact Person Data

Bidder Data

Where should I see this button?

Thanks

Hello,

1. Select the Bidder querry in Active querry

2. List of bidders will be displayed in POWL

3. Select bidder for which you want to create a contact person (Select the row in POWL).

4. "Create Contact Person with Reference" button will be active in the POWL.

Hope this helps.
