Unique SOS is not assiged to the Shopping Cart

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We use classic scenario on SRM 5.0 with MDM-SRM catalog.

We do not upload the vendors and the contracts to the MDM.

When I create SC and pick from the catalog product that assign to one unique ECC contract I expect that this contract will assigned as source of supply automatically.

From some reason the contract arrives to the SC as SOS but not assigned automatically.

Does anybody know whether by standard the system assigns the source of supply automatically when it is unique? (we want to avoid uploading vendors to the catalog).

Thanks & Regards,

As updated in your other thread

This is a standard feature in SRM that - Whenever you buy a free text Item or a product for which there is a valid ECC Contract in backend system, SRM Proposes that SOS in the Shopping cart automatically. If there are multiple Contracts or SOS for that product or product category, SRM proposes the list in the source of supply section where you make your selection accordingly.

When we buy from Catalogs, SRM Expects the vendor to come from Catalog. In this case, system expects the vendor to come from catalog. Recommended solution is to have your vendor and ECC Contract reference in your MDM Catalog record so that system can pull that information into the SC when you add an item to the cart.

Otherwise, try this - Try manually clearing the Catalog ID field in the Shopping cart after the item is added to the cart, in that case this item will behave as free text cart and ECC SOS should appear in your cart.

Thanks Virender.

You've said that when we buy from Catalogs, SRM expects the vendor to come from Catalog - will it be enough to upload all the vendors to the catalog or do we need to upload each item with the relevant vendor?

Will it work without uploading the ECC contarcts to the catalog as well?

Thanks,

Hi

No, uploading all vendors to MDM wont work as such. You will ve to have your vendor updated in each MDM Catalog record. Regarding Contracts, you upload the contracts to Contracts Lookup table in SRM MDM and then ve Contract Details fields in MDM Catalog records to link ot that lookup table. Contract Price is a standard lookup table available at your disposal in MDM Catalog. This table stores Contract id, Item id and Price details.

The standard behavior works with assiging unique SOS automatically with no need to upload vendors to the catalog !!

The problem occured due to mismatch of P.group when the system check the available SOS.

We soled it by using BADI bbp_pgrp_find to find the required backend purchasing group on time.
