BE_DOC_TYPE => ECPO

[Former Member]

Dear all,

We are using SRM 5.0. We are taking External requirements from R3 (purchase requisitions) and creating bids in SRM. Finally, when we have an approved bid we create a PO in SRM, that is replicated to R3 (Ext Classic PO)

Our problem is the following.

We want to create two different document types of POs (ECPO and ZECP). The problem is that when we are creating the purchase order from the accepted bid, we select the document type ZECP but SRM creates ECPO.

We discovered that in table BBP_PDBEI-BE_DOC_TYPE we have "ECPO" (it is determined when we transfer the PR). We replaced ECPO for ZECP and then we could create the PO that we wanted.

Our question is: how is BE_DOC_TYPE determined and why it contains the value ECPO.

Thanks!

Hi Pablo,

Have you taken a look at the following note:

Note 1059053 - BBP_BID_INV:Transaction type from quotations not taken in PO

Please reward points for good answers.

Dear Raj,

We are new in the SRM world. I assume that you are implementing the following scenario:

1- Transfer a PR from R3 to SRM using Plan Driven Procurement (PDP).

2- Create a Bid / Auction in SRM

3- Accept a bid and approve it.

4- Push the button "create PO" (and choosing the document type)

If the assumption is right you are trying to reproduce the Scenario that we are implementing here. We started with Classic Scenario but we discovered many problems. Therefore, we activated the Extended classic and the 90% of the problems disappeared.

Now, we have extended classic and we are very pleased with the solution.

Make sure that you´ve applied the latest support package.

Best regards,

Pablo.-

Hello Ignacio,

As told by Claudia, check attribute ID 'BSA' in your Organizational Structure ( "Attributes" tab).

You should have all document types which can be created in R/3 from the purchasing document generated in SRM.

Thanks for prompt responses!

I`ve applied the note and it works successfully. It was a program error.

Hi Pablo,

We are implementing SRM 5.0 in Classic Scenario and are facing a similar issue. We did apply the note 1059053, but the problem persists. No matter which type of PO we select in the Bid, only a standard type of PO is getting created.

We implemented the "BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW" BADI and we need to know the process to pass on the selected PO type (from an accepted Bid) all the way to the backend or to this BADI.

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi Pablo,

in the Org Model you define the document type of the follow on document.

Have a look and influence the setting there by entering both doc types.

Thanks,

Claudia
