Transfer shopping cart to another user.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

User A created many shopping cart in the system. Now the user A resigned. His role taken by user B.

User B need to create shopping cart with reference to existing carts which created by user A.

Is there any way we could make it possible for user B see the carts created by user A in shopping cart creation screen (create with ref to template)? So that user B with create carts with reference to the old cart (which created by user A).

Many thanks

Hi Mike,

In addition to Paras suggestions also look at the below points which will help you in resolving the issue.

You can even use the BADI BBP_WF_LIST to look at the old shopping carts created by user A and can copy them as it would not be feasible otherwise.

With the Business Add-In BBP_WF_LIST , you can tailor the

display of worklists and search results lists for purchase order documents (and Sourcing applications) in SRM Server according to your own criteria.

Standard settings

The following methods are available:

BBP_WF_LIST for purchasing documents

BBP_WF_LIST_SOCO for the Sourcing application

In the standard version, the following differences exist between the display of worklists and search results lists:

Normal employees see only their own requirements and documents

The purchaser's worklist in Sourcing and in the application for processing purchase orders is dependent on assignment to an organizational unit.

The goods recipient and invoicing party can find all purchase orders, confirmations, and invoices.

As standard, the system sorts the purchasing documents in ascending order by the last date of processing.

To distinguish between the worklists and search results lists of the SRM Server applications, the BAdI is implemented dependent on the following filters:

BUS2201

Filter value for the worklist in purchase order processing in SAP Enterprise Buyer

BUS2203

Filter value for the worklist in confirmation processing in SAP Enterprise Buyer

BUS2205

Filter value for the search results list in invoice processing in SAP Enterprise Buyer

BUS2121

Filter value for the worklist in shopping cart status check in SAP Enterprise Buyer

BUS2200

Filter value for the search results list in bid invitation processing in SAP Bidding Engine

BUS2202

Filter value for the search results list in bid processing in SAP Bidding Engine

BUS2000113

Filter value for the search results list in contract processing in SAP Enterprise Buyer

Activities

Implement and activate the BAdI if you wish to adapt worklists and search results lists.

Note that the filter value Object type (field OBJECT_TYPE) determines for which application the BAdI implementation is active.

Example

Using the BadI BBP_WF_LIST you can sort the worklist by document number, for example, or remove documents belonging to a particular user from the worklist.

The implementation of the BadI using Business object type BUS2205 allows you to change the list of invoices and the purchase orders associated with these invoices independently of one another. For example, you could sort the purchase orders by purchase order number and the invoices by the name of the user who created them.

You can exclude bid invitations from a certain product category, for example, from the purchaser's search results list in SAP Bidding Engine.

You can exclude contracts from a certain purchasing organization or purchasing group, for example, from the purchaser's search results list in SAP Enterprise Buyer.

Further notes

If the BadI is used for confirmations and purchase orders, it always accesses the list of the actual document and its purchase orders.

The purchaser's worklist contains only requirements that, according to Customizing, are to be processed in the Sourcing application. See the IMG activity Define Sourcing for Product Categories.

Hope this helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.

Hi NMK,

Yes - it is possible to forward a SC to another user if you have Workflow Admin access rights.

Transaction SWIA.

Hi Pras,

No, You can use SWIA for forwarding the shopping carts only for getting the approvals to one approver to the different approver.

But the requirement is forward the shopping carts one requisitionar to the other requisitionar ..

So you cann't replace the user(A) with the user(B),if any carts raised by the User(A)

Kind Regards,

NMK

NMK-

I see your issue. The current version makes this a real issue- it looks like in SRM 6.0/7.0 they will be enabling a team procurement option to resolve this issue.

In today's world, pre-6.0 you must know that the cart history is linked to the user's business partner. I don't know of any out of the box solution to tranfer the cart ownership, but if you consider this BP relationship you could do a couple of things.

1. Re-use the first user's (user A) BP for the new user (user B), and give "user A" a new BP. This would be very tedious to manage and the user would lose access to all SC history. Could work in a one-off situation.

2. Create a conversion routine to change the parnter in the partner functions of the cart to the new owner's BP. This is a total custom solution, but in theory would get you the result you are looking for.

Anyway a couple of thoughts on this issue for you to start with.

Hi,

There are programs provided in SAP note to change the owner from old to new.You need to change the old user's GUID to new user's GUID and all the SCs created by the old user are transferred to the new user.

Program name: Z_CHANGE_PGUID_ALL

In the Org structure, for the user B, add a 'Attribute' - 'Requitioner' and point to the Org unit where the user A exists.

Now user B can create a shopping cart referring to anybody in the org unit of user A. This is how it works for my case.

Let me know if you need more information.
