Reasons for contract not picked by SC

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have created a purchase contract in our system with all the mandatory details such as Material group,target value,Purchasing org,puchasing gr etc and I can see other such contracts are automatically picked up as SOS whenever an user tries to use that material gr. and purchasing org.

The staus of the contract is as follows:

Status Description Inactiv

HEADER I1015 Awaiting Approval X

HEADER I1021 Created

HEADER I1038 Complete

HEADER I1141 Released

HEADER I1180 Document Completed

0000000001 I1143 Item is Active

0000000002 I1143 Item is Active

0000000003 I1143 Item is Active

The user is creating the SC using the same Porg and puchasing group for which material gr. is responsible but still the contact is not picked up as the source of supply.

Please advise what may be the reason behind it.

Best regards,

Sambit

Hi

How many contracts do you have for this material group?

if you have a unique contract , then system automatically assign the contract.

If you have more than one contract , end user has to assign among available contracts.

ask the user while creating shopping cart , how many contracts are available for source of supply?

Are contracts are valid- date , any release happened against this contract - so you need to check validity of contract and available fund in the contract

or what is the status of contract?

Any one LOCKED or COMPLETED etc.

Hi Muthu,

There is no option displayed for the customer to select the contract. The SOS is empty eventhough there is a contract existing for the material group & purchase org. combination.

I have pasted the status of the contract in my initial post.

Hello Sambit,

What is your SC item type (Limit, Free text, etc) ?

What is you technical scenario (Extended, Classic, etc) ?

Hi Laurent,

We are on SRM5.0 in Extended classic scenario.

The SC has a free text item.

Hello Sambit,

As it is not a Limit item in ECS with local contracts, i advise you to follow RIcardo's recommendations.

Hello,

Since this is a local contract, you can put a breakpoint in include LBBP_PD_INDEXF20.

Then start the shopping cart creation. After providing all cart parameters, breakpoint will stop.

Table lt_found_items will store all contracts found. Check if contract in question is there.

If so, proceed debugging this include, which will exclude some contract from SOS list.

Hi Ricardo,

Thanks for replying back.

Debugging in production with real data is quite an ask. Is there any other route to find that out ?
