CFolder Configuration

Former Member

Hello All,

We are on SRM 7 Ehp1.

I have 2 questions

1.We are implementing two envelop bidding.

Could anyone share or give inputs if any Cfolder configuration is required and if yes where should we do it.

2. I have given the role SAP_CFX_USER to the Purchaser and Bidders. While the Purchaser creates the RFx, he is able to login to Cfolder and Public folder would be created by default where he can create new folders,docs...etc. Here he is adding the authorization to the bidders with read access. Now when the bidders login for RFx response and enter the cfolder , a new RFx Response folder gets created automatically. Now though the bidders have only read access to the Public folder , they are able to create folders and other documents inside it. Why ???

Also, one bidder is able to view other bidders reponse folder and is able to create folders and documents...Is there any way to restrict this ?

Thanks

Aditya

Hi Aditya ,

steps to configure C Folders

1. Define a New Logical System for cFolders

In the SAP SRM system (system and client, in which Strategic Sourcing has been customized), go to transaction spro and choose SAP Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Technical Basic Settings ® ALE Settings (Logical System) ® Distribution (ALE) ® Basic Settings ® Logical Systems ® Define Logical System.

2. Define the Logical System as a Backend System

In the SAP SRM system (system and client, in which Strategic Sourcing has been customized), go to transaction spro and choose SAP Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Technical Basic Settings ® Define Back-end Systems.

Enter the logical system and RFC destination of the cFolders system. Enter the system type CFOLDERS in the Sys. Type column.

3. Add cFolders Role Users for Purchasers and Bidders, and RFC Users

You must ensure that the relevant users for purchasers and bidders, as well as the RFC user are authorized to access a collaboration in cFolders.

1. Go to transaction pfcg.

1. Display the role SAP_CFX_USER and choose (Display/Change)

2. Choose the User tab page.

Under User Assignments, in the User ID column, enter the user names of the users to whom you want to assign the role.

3. Save your entries.

Make sure that the authorizations of the roles have been generated and activated.

If the authorizations have been generated and activated, you see the symbol on the Authorizations tab page. If you see the symbol , proceed as follows:

On the Authorizations tab page, choose (Change Authorization Data)

The Change Role: Authorizations screen appears.

Position the cursor on the authorization/role and choose (Generate)

4. Go back to the User tab page and choose User Comparison.

4. Add cFolders Role to Composite Roles for Purchasers and RFC Users

You must ensure that the relevant purchasers and the interface user are authorized to create a collaboration in cFolders. To do this repeat steps 1-7 from section 3, assigning the relevant users to the role SAP_CFX_COMP_CREATOR.

5. Activate Service CFX_RFC_UI and Create External Alias

You must activate this service and create an external alias so that you can open cFolders through the web browser.

1. Go to transaction sicf.

2. Make sure the Hierarchy Type field contains the entry SERVICE (if not, use the input help to select this entry) and choose (Execute).

3. In the tree structure, navigate to default_host ® sap ® bc ® bsp ® sap ® cfx_rfc_ui.

4. Right mouse-click cfx_rfc_ui and choose Activate Service.

You must also make sure that the service BBP_CFOLDERS is activated. You can find this service in the tree structure under default_host ® sap ® bc ® gui ® sap ® its ® bbp_cfolder.

5. Choose External Aliases.

6. Choose default_host and then choose (Create).

7. The following fields are important. Enter data in them as follows:

In the External Alias field, enter the name of the external alias using the following naming convention: //cfx_rfc_ui

If the system does not enter the URL automatically, you can enter it manually according to the naming convention above.

4. Save your entries.

8. Configure Users

This section is optional, however, we recommend you perform one of the two activities below to set up the correct homepage and scenario for individual users, or as a default setting for all users.

For Individual Users

1. Log on to cFolders with an individual application user (for example, a purchaser user).

2. On the upper right hand side of the screen, click Settings.

3. Click the General tab page.

4. In the Homepage field, select Competitive Scenarios.

5. Save your entries.

Default Setting for All Users

1. Log on to the system with the administrator user (this means, the user that has the role SAP_CFX_ADMINSTRATOR).

2. Click User Administration ® Standard Settings.

3. In the fields Scenarios and Homepage, select Competitive Scenarios.

4. Save your entries.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Aditya,

One bidder able to see other bidders data usually occurs when you dont clear your cookies on internet explorer.

Try this and see if it solves your issue.
