URGENT PLEASE HELP - Source determination in Limits Carts not working

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We have implemented SRM 4 on Server 5.0 and ECC 5 backend.

We have in our environment service masters that have been catalogued and linked to Contracts. When one raises a cart and selects one on these catalogue service items, a backend PO correctly creates and references the contract as specified in the catalog.

The problem we have discovered that if we raise a Limits order and specify the material group stipulated in the contract for a service, source determination fails to "pick up" this contract line. We are forced to enter a supplier all the time!

Also if we raise a text service line and select from "internal Goods/Services" a Service Master record and add it tothe cart, surce determination also does not pick up the R3 contract/line that matched this service. This means that when POs are created in the backend, they are not referencing any contract (no call-off)

Why is this happening? How come catalogue items linked to a service masters and contracts work and correctly and a Limits order do not?

Please help, we need to resolve this issue today.

Thanks,

Grace.

Hi,

It is very easy to determine why the source determination does not happen , if you know how to debug.

You have to debug the function module BBP_PD_SOS_FIND , to determine why the system behaves that way.

Hi Grace,

The contracts that are created in SRM can only be refered as Source of supplies while creating shopping carts if your are working in Extended Classic scenario.

In case you want to refer the back end contracts, Info. records for creating shopping carts you have to implement classic scenario.

The standard SRM does not provide the functionality you needed where as if you want to use back end contracts for a particular product category you can implement "Controlled Extended Classic Scenario BADI " which makes the classic scenario active for that product category, there by a back end contract can be referred for that product category when ever a shopping cart is made.

Hope this makes you clear. Clarifications are welcome.

Award points for suitable replies.

Hi There,

Just notice that this issue was not responded to last time and was hoping that somebody has a solution to this problem.

We have implemented SRM 5 with ECC6 backend in an extended classic deployment.

We have Purchase contracts that are setup with product category based line items and Backend contracts created as Outline Agreements (not GOAs). For the Backend contrats, we have maitnained Vendor lists in SRM referencing these.

When we create limits order line items source determinations does pick any contracts at all.

Why is this happening?

How can we get this to work?

Thank you all
