Self registered Bidders to be transferred to ECC

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Wondering if anybody has mapped this or has any clue.

First our landscape for ready ref.

SAP_ABA 700 0011 SAPKA70011 Cross-Application Component

SAP_BASIS 700 0011 SAPKB70011 SAP Basis Component

PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0011 SAPKIPYJ7B PI_BASIS 2005_1_700

ST-PI 2005_1_700 0003 SAPKITLQI3 SAP Solution Tools Plug-In

SAP_BW 700 0010 SAPKW70010 SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0

SAP_AP 700 0007 SAPKNA7007 SAP Application Platform

SRM_PLUS 550 0007 SAPKIBK007 SRM_PLUS for mySAP SRM

SRM_SERVER 550 0007 SAPKIBKT07 SRM_SERVER

The business scenario is Bidding after supplier self registration.

The steps:

Prospects will register themselves on ROS.

Strat Purchaser will accept and transfer them on EBP.

While creation of Bid Invitation these bidders will be chosen and the BI will be publisehd.

All of these (say 5 ) bidders will submit the Bid.

Out of these 5 bids the strat purchaser will accept only 1.

and create a purchase order.

Now as per our business scenario the PO should be created in ECC.

and unless this newly registered bidder is in ECC the PO will not be created.

Hence we need to transfer this bidder/vendor to ECC.

Help.sap talks about registration on ERP but that will be for all prospects which we don't want.

Anybody has mapped this business scenario?

Or any clues?

Hi,

You can use the Workflow approach here.Whenevr the Business partner for the Vendor is created ,you can trigger a WF in SRM through whcih the Vendor is created in R/3.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

But I want selective creation of ECC vendor.

If a WF is set , whenever my strat purchaser will transfer prospect from ROS to EBP and the BP is created , then a vendor in ECC would be created.

Our business wants to replicate only that self-registered bidder/vendor to which BID is awarded.

Hi,

Then you just need to change the EVENT for the WORKFLOW to be trigerred...i.e Whenever the BID/quotation is <b>accepted</b>,for the corresponding vendor ,you can create a same vendor in R/3.

Hi Dinesh,

A bit technical info .....For the Business Object BUS2202(BID),you have the event SupplierQuotationEC.ToBeAccepted i.e. BID is accepted.For that event,you can write a custom WF that will actually create the Vendor whose BID has been accepted.

Also you could think of modifying the Std code if not the WF approach.

The simple solution for this requirement is link ECC vendor to EBP business partner under SRM administartor log in>manage business partner>edit BP-->vendor data.

Hi Dinesh,

Have you automated this or manually doing the assignment in the BBPMAININT transacn?

BR,

Disha.

[Former Member]

We are doing manually only in BBPMAININT since this is one time for one vendor.

Hi Dinesh,

I have been facing the same situation and developed a process depending on scenario:

For creating a vendor master record in ECC, it depends the used SRM release

(for the technical capability - with SRM 5.0 an automatic creation from SRM into

ECC is possible) as well on the global master data management process the

company uses:

Usually all master data are created centrally in ECC (also from historic reasons

as well due to central organization, which is best practice as well), why the

number range in ECC is set on internal. Supplier registered in ROS

get a SRM number, which then gets (starting with SRM 5.0) get downloaded into

ECC and create a new vendor record (using the SRM vendor number). In that

case, the number range needs to be manipulated and mapped to the central

number range. In the (technical best) case, the ECC number range for vendor

creation set to external - this is not usable in huge as well global organizations.

Based on my experiance with companies already using SAP, ROS makes the

best sense for first qualification of suppliers and getting them involved in sourcing

as potential suppiers. In the moment, suppliers reach this stage, the vendor

master generation process takes places, technical resulting with a replication of

vendor record via BBPGETVD into SRM.

Thanks, Disha.

Have you developed this WF at your place?

Thanks, Claudia.

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about the generation of ECC vendor at the time supplier is registered on ROS.

But our requirement is that we want to transfer only that vendor from EBP to ECC , for which the bid has been awarded.

Can you clarify more?
