Vendor determination using only product category

[former_member84399]

Hello

I am trying to get source determination to to take place automatically when a shopping cart is returned to EBP from an external marketplace and then sent to R/3.

I am succesfull in doing all the required mapping via BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.

When the shopping cart is returned to Buynet the item description, plus all other relatd data including organisational data is complete. On the source of supply tab a vendor is also displaeyd as "assigned source"

However when this cart is transferred to R/3 only a requisition is created instead of a PO

All config seems to be correct. It seems like the system wants a contract or IR to confirm the source. But I do not want this as I already have the vendor assigned

Please does anybody have any ideas or help!!!

Hello Yann

thanks for the help.

I already have made this setting, but I still get the message as follows

Error during determination of backend follow-on doc. for shopping cart XXX

BBP_PD 283

A little stuck as to why it is doing this as I have made all the appropriate settings in R/3 and EBP.

Hi Dave,

What is the backend error message code ?

Kind regards,

Hello

I dont think I can get it because it is a local error

Where should I look?

Hi Dave,

You can get it through debug.

Other alternative will be to authoriez PR creation.

Once PR is created, try to convert it into PO and maybe you get the same error message.

Kind regards,

Hi Dave,

Check backend error using T code RZ20 in EBP.

Dave,

If you are able to find backend error let me know the error message.

Hello

Thank you all for your comments.

Status of the problem is as follows. I noticed I made a mistake in my notes yesterday.

1) As per my fist note the change is as follows. I did not get a requisistion created in R/3 after doing mapping via BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER. I actually got the error:

bbp_PD 283 <i><b>"error during determination of backend follow on doc."</b></i>

I have checked this in RZ20 which tells me it is a local error.

I have used this badi succesfully when I have a SAP R/3 Material and Vendor to transfer to the shopping cart. The issue is arising when I am trying to only send a SAP Material Group and Vendor to the shopping cart.

I am using classic scenario...

So to summarise all I really want to do is use the BADI

to perform the following mapping

DUNS to R/3 Vendor - including GUID etc...

UNSPSC to Material Group including GUID etc..

and populate the shopping cart with all the information required to create a R/3 Purchase Order.

Note: I have a feeling that it is something to do with source determination and contracts but not sure?

Sorry for any confusion.

Hello

for information this was due to error message in INFO and records and contracts in r/3 error message was

06 - 341 - Info record for vendor & and material & does not exist - this needed to be turned off...
