unable to create follow on documents in SOCO

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are on SRM Server 550 SPS: SAPKIBKT05

Once I click 'propose source of supply', it takes me to the next screen showing the proposed SOS's in a subscreen.

Below this, is another subsreen with three tabs. Currently I do not see anything here? No items.

Any idea what problem could it be? Do I need to activate BW report templates? Or is there something else??

Thanks.

Hi Mahammad,

Please look in transaction COMMPR01.

Find Your material in search tab. If You find it go to the Conditions tab.

Select 'Conditions for -> Purchasing'.

Fill nessesary data eg. vendor no, price for this vendor, etc. (conditions type = 01PV Price(product))

Save document.

Click on 'Relationships' button and select 'Vendors' tab.

Add vendors maintained in conditions tab.

Save document and back to SOCO->Propose sources of supply.

Hi Marcin,

The SOS's are already proposed. However the view below

containing three tabs 'Requirement Item per Vendor',

'Contract Items per Vendor '

and 'Request Items'

does not show any items?

The contracts are the chosen product and vendors, otherwise vendors would nto have been displayes as SOS either?

What could be wrong??

Thanks

Hi,

On screen 'Sourcing - Propose SOurces of Supply' table 'Overview of Sources of Supply' should be filled with vendor names.

Click on checkbox to add a vendor to list.

Click on compare prices button.

All tabs (req. item per vendor, contract item per vendor etc.) will be filled by prices.

Choose best prices on every item in table and click 'Copy changes and back'.

Dear Marcin,

There's the problem iteslf.

'All tabs (req. item per vendor, contract item per vendor etc.) will be filled by prices.'

They don't get filled. That is what I am trying to figure out. Do you think there may be some inactive BW reports causing it or something else?

Thanks.

Hi,

BW reports don't cause it. They will be used for reporting vendor evaluation etc.

There are few things to make SOS to work:

- material and services must exists in COMMPR01

- in COMMPR01 Conditions tab must be filled with proper values eg.

- Ctyp = 01PV

- Vendor = 332 (Business Partner number)

- Ammount = 34,00

- Currency = EUR

- Valid from = 25.10.2006

- Valid to = 31.12.9999

- in COMMPR01 Relationships->Vendor tab:

- Business Partner = 332

Save document.

These values will be show in SOS. In Overview of Sources of Supply will be vendor no 332.

Please check if Your IPC is work correctly in SPRO->SRM->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Pricing->Check Technical and Customizing Settings for Conditions

Please look at SAP note 881265, 778253 too.

Regards,

Marcin
