Info Record Not Appearing for all materials in classic scenario.

[Former Member]

HI ALL,

I am working on Classic Scenario and all the follow-on documents are getting created properly. But the problem is With SOS. Currently i am able to view the info record for only one of my material, I am also referring backend contracts through vendor list. The contracts are visible in SOS.

Can somebody pls put a light as to why for other materials the info records is not displayed in SOS, is there a report which has to be run to get the info record into SRM from ECC. If not then how does the system bring these contracts and info record from ECC to SRM.

I am working on SRM 5.0 and ECC 5.0.

THANKS AND REGARDS

Hi

Have you tried implementing this BADI - BBP_SOS_BADI ?

BBP_SOS_BADI
____________________________________________________
Short Text
Find and Check Sources of Supply

Use

With the Business Add-In BBP_SOS_BADI, you can search for and check sources of supply according to your own rules. These sources of supply include contracts, vendor list entries and product linkages. For this, the customer fields of the shopping cart or purchase order are transferred to the BAdI.


Standard settings

The BAdI provides the following methods:

1. BBP_SOS_INDEX_UPDATE_CHECK

Use: Check and update contract items in the source of supply table.

2. BBP_SOS_SEARCH

Use: Search for sources of supply according to your own rules.

3. BBP_SOS_CHECK

Use: Check and filter the sources of supply found by the standard search according to your own rules.

4. BBP_SOS_PD_CHECK

Use: Carrying out your own additional checks when creating a shopping cart document item with an assigned contract.


Activities
Implement the BAdI if you wish to determine or check sources of supply according to your own rules.

Is there anything specific to this material ?

For example, does this shopping cart have plant in info record and in Shopping cart ?

While plant might be missing in either info record or shopping cart.

Info records are maintained at Material-Vendor-Purchasing org or Material-Vendor-Purchasing org- Plant level. Pl check the data in info record and shopping cart is same for these parameters.

Hi Ramakrishna,

Thanks for the answer. No every thing is same for the info records that are available in ECC. Actually all the info records were created as a result of follow-on documents from SRM by refering the backend contracts through vendor list. So non of these info records have got the price in it. This is also true for the material for which info record is visible In SOS. Is there a report to replicate info records to SRM from ECC.

Hi

Please read this as well.

<u>You have created sources of supply. These could be:

-> Contract items in Enterprise Buyer

-> Vendor-specific prices

For this, you have created Product Linkages in the SRM System with vendor-specific prices via the SAP Menu Master Data -> Products -> Process Products.

-> Entries in the vendor list of Enterprise Buyer

In Customizing you have assigned product categories to which the system is to automatically group requirements and you have scheduled report BP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED to run periodically.

For more information, see the Supplier Relationship Management Implementation Guide (IMG): SRM Server -> Sourcing -> Define Interactive Sourcing for Product Categories.</u>

Sourcing is completely integrated with the global availability check in SAP APO and executes a vendor search. You can activate third-party order processing in the check instructions by choosing how you want the system to start sourcing and which sourcing method you want to use for it. There are two different options here:

○     If you want the products to be delivered exclusively by external vendors, the system performs sourcing directly at the external vendors without evaluating internal locations. For this, SAP APO requires corresponding purchasing records, delivery plans and contracts that are transferred from SAP ECC. 

○     If you only want to have products delivered by external vendors occasionally, that is to say, if you are unable to deliver the product from your own warehouse stock, choose an ATP profile in which both internal and external vendors are evaluated. In this case, the external vendor is treated like an internal location in SAP APO, and is integrated into location determination in the rule-based availability check.

You can also choose the vendor manually. If you have already specified a vendor as the source of supply in SAP CRM, SAP SCM does not carry out any further sourcing. In this case, SAP SCM merely checks the validity of this vendor and confirms the requirement in its full amount if the vendor is valid.

For more information, see SAP Library for SAP SCM at SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO) -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) -> Advanced Availability Check Methods -> Third-Party Order Processing in the Global ATP -> Sourcing in Third-Party Order Processing.

Hi Atul,

Thanks for reply. I could see the info records for materials which have more than one contract in Backend. But for material with only one contract the info records is not visible. Any Clues???

Thanks and regards
