Some standard fields are being displayed in RFx when navigating from SC

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

Fields below are being rendered in the RFx main screen when navigating from SC Related Documents tab (RFx Information->RFx Parameters->right container):

Status:  
Synopsis ID Description: *  
Synopsis ID: *  
Set Aside: *  
Pricing Arrangement Identifier:  
Naicscode Desc.:  
NAICS Code:  
Status:  
Document Date:  
Classcode Desc.:  
Classification Code: *  

These fields are not displayed when accesing Bid Invitation directly from POWL.

Could anyone please clarify what they mean? Does anybody know why they are displayed when accessing from SC tracking but not displayed when accessing from POWL?

Anyway, I will try to disable them in SPRO, but I am not sure if it will work. Furthermore, some of them are marked as Mandatory and I do not know the real implication of disabling them :S

Thanks in advance for your comments!

Hi again,

Same behavior has been detected in SC :S. When navigating from Tracking Tab in a related RFx next fields do appear:

Status:   
Future Date:   
Pricing Arrangement Identifier:   
Ceiling Amount:   
Parked:     
Incremental Funding Active:     
Status:   
Document Date:   

They are not present when navigating from POWL or when creating documents.

I have configured metadata entries in spro and they are not displayed anymore but I am still wondering about this issue.

Here you can see URL generated for RFx. The firs one is from POWL and it is working as intended. Undesired fields are displayed in the second url (when navigating from Related Document Tab):

- http://myhost:myport/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl%3A%2F%2Fbd2af3e1dc4cf76ea6cb10706fb1053e&dropPRTEvent=OBNEvent&BOTechnicalName=rfx&BOSystemAlias=SAP_SRM&Operation=display&isOBN=true&APPLID=Z_POWL&POWL_QUERY=4C11E19BE31B55ABE10000000A710315&sapsrm_boid=4D4B7019B57831CBE10000000A710315&DynamicParameter=APPLID%3dZ_POWL%26POWL_QUERY%3d4C11E19BE31B55ABE10000000A710315%26sapsrm_boid%3d4D4B7019B57831CBE10000000A710315&CurrentWindowId=WID1298025156812&NavMode=3

I have realized that value from navurl parameter in the POWL url is what makes the first url working. I mean that evething is working as intended if I use the second URL but replacing navaurl value with the one provided in the first URL.

Any clarification on this would be really apretiated

Regards

Hi,

A new unexpected issue has arised related to this matter.

Visibility of User Specified status tab is linked to the visibility of field ps_date (Document Date that is sometimes displayed in the RFx Parameters screen).

By setting ps_date as disabled and not visible in spro (Metadata for Fields on Document Headers), such field dissapears from the RFx Paremeters screen but furthermore, entries in User Specified Status tab are also disabled and not visible.

Any idea?

Thanks again and regards

OSS 1335488 solves this issue.

Pay attention to possible overwrite exits that should be manually modified.

There should be a similar OSS to fix the navigation from RFx to SC (I just manually patched for both cases our custom overwrite exit ).
