"Create Bidder" in SRM 701

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have created a new vendor organizational unit in PPOCV_BBP. While I create a bidder in the SRM 701 with the "Strategic Purchase Role" - I get the error "Organizational unit 00000000 does not exist; check your entries".

But I have given the Organizational unit number VG 50001308 in mandatory field "Central Organizational Object for Bidder:"

Could you please let me know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you please confirm if you have maintained entries in the table BBP_MARKETP_INFO?

Hi,

You are implementing SRM 7.0 (or) it is a Upgrade

Normally the procedure is converting the Vendor to the Bidder.

You have created PPOCV_BBP. try to replicate the vendor from backend (ECC 6.0) thro t.code : bbpgetvd

you will get the vendor in PPOSV_BBP

1)Go to SRM administration tab in the portal

2)Click Create BP you will get the business partner POWL

3)check the vendor select the vendor

4)click create contact person button a new screen will open

give all the details,the vendor will get converted to Bidder

Hi, I am not sure why would you want to convert a vendor to bidder. But that is not my question.

My question is:

I want to create a Bidder directly in SRM 701 (Bidder in SRM means, he can bid & if sucessfully awarded then will be convert him to vendor). With the strategic purchase role - I have the option to create a bidder in SRM. While creating the bidder, one of the mandatory field is "Central Organizational Unit for Bidder". If I fill up this with the vendor organizational unit - or any other organizational unit system throws the above mentioned error.

Thanks

Hi,

For a bidder to take part in bidding he should have contact person.

See that in PPOSV_BBP whether the vendor is there or not
