Surrogate bidding in SRM Live auction

[Former Member]

Hi,

While doing surrogate bidding in SRM live auction, system gives following error,

"You are not authorised to display the auction"

What settings are required in customisation to bid in live auction on the behalf of supplier?

Thanks a ton

Hi

Which SRM and Live Auction versions are you using ?

<u>Ask Basis person to give SAP_ALL for time being and then check again (Seems like BASIS - Roles/Authorization problem) ..</u>

<u>Meanwhile, also try the following SAP OSS Note -></u>

Note 703446 Creator of the auction can not view the auction via applet

Note 730403 No notification of ban to banned bidder

Note 687840 Live Auction does not work after JAVA patch via SDM

Note 1088856 Unable to change longtext in BAdI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI

Do let me know.

Regards

Proxy bidding enables the system to automatically bid on a bidder’s behalf, promoting competitive bidding by allowing bidders to more easily monitor the auction, since it is not necessary for them to enter bids manually.

<u><b>ARE YOU WITHIN THESE PREREQUISITES?</b></u><b>

a.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled for auctions that use the overall best bid validation.

b.) Proxy bidding can only be enabled if bid decrements greater than zero have been defined on all line items.

c.) Proxy bidding is not available in auctions with lots.</b>

When proxy bidding is enabled, bidders submit a minimum bid to indicate the lowest they are willing to submit for a line item. The system then acts as a proxy agent and rapidly bids on line items on the bidder’s behalf during the auction, placing bids according to bidding parameters such as next valid bid, bid decrement, and reserve price to maintain the bidder’s leading position in an active auction until the auction ends or the minimum bid is reached.
