Creating Purchase Orders from bidding process

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a more general question.

We use a bidding process to generate a Purchase Order in SRM 5.0

Process flow:

1.BBPSC01 - Create Shopping Cart

2.BBPSOCO01 - Create Bid from Shopping Cart

3.QUOT - Create bid by vendor

4.BBP_BID_INV - Accept bid of vendor by Purchaser

5.BBP_BID_INV - Create Backend Purchase Order

On the basis of the following configurations in SRM and R/3 we always create a Pur.Order of the type ZSRM:

*IMG SRM *

1. Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges for Shopping Carts and Follow-on Documents

Number Range: PO - 3000000000 - 3009999999 (internal)

2. Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Number Ranges -> Define Number Ranges per Backend System for Follow-on Documents

ENT100 (R/3Backend) - PO (nr range POs) - RQ (nr Range PurReq)

3. PPOMA_BBP:

Document Type in R/3 System - BSA - ZSRM - ENT100

In the R/3 Back-end we configured Document Type ZSRM with PO numer range external: PO 3000000000 - 3009999999

My question is, if it is possible to use to different types of POs (for example ZSRM and ZSRD) with different number ranges in this process (Bidding with PO creation in Backend)

The second SRM config does not to let me configure two number ranges in the same backend system!

Anyone had experience with this?

Can one manipulate this process - maybe with a BADI?

Thanks for any reply,

It is possible and working in our implementation.

No badi for diff follow-on doc types of PO.

yr settings are correct.

Additionally,

in ECC

assign the same external no range

to multiple doc types say,

ZSR1 PO numer range external: PO 3000000000 - 3009999999

ZSR2 PO numer range external: PO 3000000000 - 3009999999

ZSR3 PO numer range external: PO 3000000000 - 3009999999

then in the respective PGRP level in SRM ORG structure

specify these doc types in attribute DP_PROC_TY

then these doc types will appear in the accepted bid for "Generate Purchase order" button

It should be possible as long as you maintain a number range not conflicting with any other settings. Check again.
