Propose of Supply Not Found for External Requirement

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a problem where I can't found any source of supply after proposing via button "Propose Sources of Supply" but will work for requirements come from Shopping Cart.

Somehow I found below facts after comparing requirement document created from external and shopping cart with BBP_PD :

- From req created by SC, ORDERED_PROD in table CRMD_ORDERADM_I have 40 digits format

- From req created by ext requirement, ORDERED_PROD in table CRMD_ORDERADM_I have 18 digits format

Then I created PR with external material number to avoid leading zeros difference, but the problem persist. So, ORDERED_PROD number format is not the cause.

Have anyone got the same problem? What's the solution?

Sincerely,

Ted

Hi Ted,

In standard, system stores the product ID in internal tables with

leading zeros.

You have the option to suppress the leading zeros by configuring

SPRO setting

"Define Output Format and Storage Format of Product IDs".

This is an example of systems:

You can see in BBP_PD, if you click on item, there

is a table called CRMD_ORDERADM_I. You can see that PRODUCT_SRC_SYS

for this cart is displayed as SRPCLNT100. Therefore, as setting

for leading zeros is maintained in SPRO for system SRQCLNT100 and

not SRPCLNT100, leading zeros are being displayed to end user.

Usually, when systems are copied you should replace the logical system name using transaction BDLS.

Please take a look at the following notes: 446294 and 121163.

Regarding the use of BBPSC01, check wiki content

Hi Edel,

Thanks for your answer. Well, I have tested by creating requirements with external number assignment, means I have exactly material number without leading zeros, e.g. SRM-MAT01

So material number/product id didn't affect the result, which is still error.

FYI, I found that product GUID for requirement comes from external requirement was all zeros (00000000000000000000000000000000), meanwhile from SC it has product GUID (same as product entry at COMM_PRODUCT)

So, got any idea how can I resolve this issue?

Sincerely,

Ted
