Soucing Cockpit Questions

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

We are using SRM 550 and are at SP 13.

Can anyone assist us with these issues regarding the SRM Sourcing Cockpit.

1. The buttons are coming up in the German language - I cannot locate a SAP note to fix this. Is there some config or a note that I need to do?

2. When a user deletes a PO associated with a shopping cart the cart appears in the sourcing cockpit again. Our SPRO setting for Sourcing is set to option 3 Sourcing Carried Out for Items without a Source of Supply. How do I remove these carts from the cockpit?

Thanks in advance

Hi Alen,

Regarding the german text, in addition to notes that were suggested, you can do the following:

1) Login using the language English

2) Start the transaction SE80 (Object Navigator)

Choose "Function Group" BBP_SOCO_UI_ITS

Drill-down to "Screens"

Choose screen (=dynpro) "0301"

Choose Tab "Element list"

Choose sub-tab "Texts I/O templates"

Check if the fields description are in English

if not - go to step (3)

if yes - go to step (4)

Same thing for the others screens - 0011, 0021, 0201

3) Start the report RSSCRPINT001

supply Program name -> SAPLBBP_SOCO_UI_ITS

Dynpro number -> 0301

Language -> ES

same thing for the others screens - 0011, 0021, 0201- if necessary

4) Repeat step (2), go to dynpro 0301, activate the dynpro (CTRL + F3)

same thing for the others screens - 0011, 0021, 0201 - if necessary.

It is very importanto to activate the changes.

Kind regards,

Look at the following notes for issue 1:

943854 - Texts appear in the incorrect language.

632982 Generation of the screens for the sourcing

As for issue 2, the reason that they are appearing back in the cockpit is because they have effectively been reopened due to the deletion of the PO.

If you want to ensure that they don't get sent back to the cockpit and will therefore never be required, the following should be done.

Prior to deleting the line item in the PO go into change mode. On the Basic Data tab, select the 'Complete Requirement Item on Saving' box and then delete the item.

This should then do what you want.

Hi,

Just to add what Keith has already explained, if some one forgot to do that step and requirement appears in the sourcing cock pit then on the extreme right hand side of the line item , there is an icon "mark complete" you can use that which basically takes out the item from the sourcing cock pit and marks the requirement complete and no further processing required.

Thanks
