Creating a New Bidder

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have just started to work on the Bidding Engine.

I have created a Bidder and given him the role of SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER.

But when I logon, I do not see the Submit Bid link.

Can anyone tell me hwo to activate it or the T-code of Submit Bid, so that i can add it to the role

Thanks and Regards

Hi Venkat,

use the web transaction "Manage Business Partner" to create a Bidder for

a vendor. Select / search for the vendor number and create an employee.

In the screen for creating an employee you also create the user account for

login. In that section of the screen the role is assigned as well. Roles can be

adjusted later via SU01.

Via that procedure, it is ensured to the user is fully created and working, as well

the employee is assigned to the right vendor and visible as contact person of that

vendor.

In parallel have a look at PFCG and check the menu for the role "SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER".

Sometime the menu needs to be reread to have all transactions.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Both the Bidder and Vendor roles have been assigned.

I know that Vendors are assigned to Org plan through PPOMV_BBP.

But in the version of SRM I'm working on, this transaction does not exist (SRM 4). Is there another way of getting them in (PPOM_BBP) and how

Disha, thanks for the T-code. Points granted to u. But the description (thru SE93) says Process Bid. Is it the same as 'Submit Bid'.

Hi Venkatraman,

If you are working with SRM 4.0 you dont need to maintain Separate Organizational

structure for Vendor .

There are two possibilities to create vendor org in TRX PPOMA_BBP in SRM 4.0

Create a Separate vendor Org using Transaction PPOCA_BBP or

Create a Sub Org in the Existing Org in Transaction PPOMA_BBP.

Once vendor Org is available then try to replicate your vendors into this organisation using TRX BBPGETVD.

If you have already done so you must find your vendors in the org structure.

You have assigned the roles correctly (SAP_BBP_STAL_BIDDER and SAP_BBP_STAL_VENDOR). Once you logon to the SRM system as Bidder, you will find the "Process Bid" link. You have to go into this and submit the bids wrt vendor (Bid price, etc...). There is no saperate Tx for submitting the Bid.

Hello Venkat,

Have you assigned these users in Org plan (In Vendor Node)? And also in attribute ROLE you must assign at least one role (e.g: SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER).

Hi Venkataraman,

Try to maintain role SAP_BBP_STAL_VENDOR also along with

SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER then you can access your bid link.
