Hi Experts,
With current functionality in SRM 5.0, it is possible to create a u2018brand newu2019 contract from accepted bid response. Is it possible to add parts to an existing contract from an accepted bid response?
Bid Invitation Number: BIDINV1 (This invitation has 3 bidders)
Scenario:
Bid Invitation BIDINV1 sent to supplier A, supplier B and supplier C. All suppliers sent bid response. Business decided to award all parts on the bid invitation to Supplier A. A contract is already in place for Supplier A. Can we add all accepted lines/parts from the bid to existing contract?
Is there any configuration change to achieve this?
Is there a BADI for above-mentioned enhancement?
Thanks
Jaison
I'd suggest that you look into transaction "BBP_CTR_MASS" for mass contract update functionality. There might exist possibility for you to update your existing contracts based on the newly awarded bid responses.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I need to create a separate input file and use the file to update contract through "Contract mass update" utility. I am looking for something from Bid Invitation screen itself (Something similar to "create" contract from accepted Bid screen).
Thanks

This is not my understanding of Contract Mass Update. Take a look at the help documentation from SAP:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/42/f93dfd975f3ee6e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
As a purchaser/buyer, you should be able to launch "Contract Mass Update" from an awarded Bid Response screen. The feature is a guided procedure where you'd be led through a series of steps to complete the update of existing contract(s) which were created with the matching bidder/vendor.
Hi Jay,
Once again thanks for your suggestion.
I don't see 'Mass update' button on the accepted bid screen. I checked for UI control BADI and any screen variant configurations. There is nothing to hide buttons from BID. Do we need any SPRO change to bring it in? I will keep looking in this direction.
Thanks

Hm... Maybe in SRM5, the Mass Update transaction can not be launched from Bid Response, but a separate transaction.... I checked in SRM7 and it is available from an accepted bid. But check Step 3 of the guided procedure, which states "Select Contract to Append". This step leads me to believe that you can actually append items to an existing contract.
Hi Jay,
It looks like Contract Mass Change option is very limited in SRM 5.0. There is no option for append contract in guided process.
Following steps are there:
1. Select contract through a search screen
2. Define mass change - Like increase price on all items, change inco terms etc.
3. Simulate changes
4. Apply changes
