Changing Product Terms on SAP Sourcing

0 Kudos

Dear Gurus,

We are implementing SAP Sourcing 10.0 and we would like to inactive or change the Product Terms (Data Privacy Statement) a supplier contact person receives when they initially login on SAP Sourcing. Could you kindly assist us with the solution to this.

Below is an example of the Product Terms we want to change or Inactive.

Regards,

Thembi Sihlongonyane

Hello Thembi,

Short answer: The terms in your screenshot cannot be changed.

Long answer: They can be inactivated/changed; but it's tricky.

In fact, there are 4 sets of terms:

  • BUYER_TERMS - "Terms" in Lava's screenshot
  • VENDOR_TERMS - "Supplier Terms" in Lava's screenshot
  • PRODUCT_TERMS - Hidden hardcoded terms (similar to your screenshot)
    • No user interface to inactivate/change
  • VENDOR_PRODUCT_TERMS - Hidden hardcoded terms (your screenshot)
    • No user interface to inactivate/change

What you would like to do to have most control is:

  1. Inactivate VENDOR_PRODUCT_TERMS (to remove the message completely)
  2. Add a new record in Company - Supplier Terms (to add your own custom message)

Step 1 is most difficult and requires some manual work:

  • Export Company via Setup->Export Data->Single Object->Company
  • Save resulting .oma file locally
  • Rename .oma to .zip and extract
  • Open exported_objects.0.xml with an XML editor
  • Search for collection "VENDOR_PRODUCT_TERMS" and update as shown below

  • Do the same for collection PRODUCT_TERMS to be on the safe side
  • Overwrite exported_objects.0.xml
  • Zip back all the 4 files (!! not the directory !! - files have to be root in the zip archive)
  • Rename .zip to .oma
  • Import back via Setup -> Import Data

PS: This procedure is tested and works fine with no side effects.

Hi Thembi,

I have one more suggestion, try this also. There is a system property to disable SAP Product term and conditions page for supplier.

System property: vendor.disableSAPProductTerm.

@Bogdan: Thanks for your detail explanation and diligence.

Hi Thembi,

Go to setup-->Master Data-->Companies.

Open the created company and got to Terms of Agreement section. See is there any terms added for supplier and inactivate it.
