OFFLINE BIDDING READ ATTACHED FILE

[Former Member]

Hi experts

In offline bidding the purchaser system receives the e-mail, automatically reads the attachment, and creates the RFx response.

Can someone explain the mechanism Of that, where should the email arrive ,how the SRM reads the attached file.

Is there any customize things I should do so the SRM can read the attached file

Thanks

è Hi,

Let me clear out one thing, Supplier can’t send back attachment to Buyer. It’s restricted.

Supplier can just reply to Bid/RFx.

One should setup SAP Interactive form(RFx Response Form). It is used to customize supplier specific form.

Path: SRM Server-> Cross-Application Basic Settings-> Set Output Actions and Output Format-> Define Actions for Document Output

One should mention e-mail id for offline bidding.

Path: SRM Server-> RFx Offline Bidding-> Proxy Settings-> Define Offline User

Hi  Vinay

Thanks for your rapid answer

1. What is the purpose of the user i define in Define Offline User

2. After the supplier fill the fields in the form and press the send and submit button,should it 
   create an email with the user id i define or with the purchaser's email?

3. After the supplier send the email where should it arrive,and how the response create in the Srm?

Thanks

Hello Ronen,

1. What is the purpose of the user i define in Define Offline User

--> This will be the technical user in the system who will receive the email from the supplier  (response) and then process it and generates the response in the system. The email address of this used will be of the following form :  <username>@domain of your SRM Abap system.

2. After the supplier fill the fields in the form and press the send and submit button,should it 
   create an email with the user id i define or with the purchaser's email?

--> Moment you click send and submit button,a mail with your SAP Interactive form(Response details) will be sent to the email address of the "offline user" you will defined above.

3. After the supplier send the email where should it arrive,and how the response create in the Srm?

--> The email will be received by the offline user defined above. You can view the email details in business workplace of offline user using tcode /nsbwp.

Hi Rahul,

That's right, I can see the email using tcode sbwp with the attached file. But what it suppose the happened now.

The SRM system should read the attached file and then create te Rfx response automatically?

In my case, nothing happen.

Hello Joseph,

Have you cross checked the entries in the t-Code so50 - exit rules for inbound processing

Entries should be maintained in the following format :

Comm Type     Recipient Address    Document Class                 Exit names

Internet mail   email of offline user           *                     /SAPSRM/CL_OFFLINEBID_INBOUND

Internet mail           *                            ICS                    CL_APPOINTMENT_REPLY

Internet mail   email of offline user           *                    CL_UWS_FORM_RUNTIME_MAIL

Best Regards,

Rahul
