Shopping Cart not appearing in Sourcing Cockpit

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we have a problem with one shopping cart. After approval workflow it does not go to Sourcing Cockpit as it should.

The status shows "Approved" with no follow-on-document whereas it should be "In Purchasers Worklist". Is there a way/functional module to send it to sourcing cockpit if it does not appear?

Best regards

Hello Achim,

Y means "Sourcing completed". The item will no more appear in the sourcing cockpit.

Please check if

• Somebody pushed the button "Complete item"

• there is an implementation of BADI BBP_SRC_DETERMINE which sets this flag by mistake

Hi, thanks for your answer. The BADI is not implemented so a probably clicked on "compete" in Sourcing Cokpit.

But how can we proceed to make it sourcing relevant again? Is there some FM?

Best regards in advance

Hello Achim,

sorry, but there is no standard way. The following statement is from a developer for a similar problem:

"There is no standard way to undo setting of completion indicator.

However to manually retrieve Shopping Cart in Sourcing,please try to use

transaction BBP_PD. Specify the shopping cart number. You can then find

each item in this shopping cart.

Using transaction SE16 for table BBP_PDIGP you can then manually

change the SOURCE_REL_IND as 'Y' for the item by specifying the GUID. As

a result items would go into sourcing.Hope this information helps."

Another possibility: create a simple report, which selects SC-items,

and can update the sourcing flag. For this I would recommend to use the module

BBP_PDH_DB_DIRECT_UPDATE - this is usually used in the standard coding to update this flag (find examples over the where-used list)

Kind regards, Levente

Dear Derksen,

Please use transaction se37 with the FM - BBP_PDH_DB_DIRECT_UPDATE with Item guid and sourcing relevant indicator to 'X' to the push the shc in soco.

Thanks,

Hi there

How do you manually change the indicactor in table bbp_pdigp? Do you need to have a specific role?

Please how do you change the source_rel_ind?

Hello Deepa,

there are two possibilities:

1. Use SE16 and change parameter in debugging mode

2. Create a ZReport to change it

Hi,

Where do you see the approved status in the shopping cart? Is it there in the item overview or in the item details ( approval).

If it is not there(status approved) in the item overview, then your approval workflow is not complete and you have to look into the workflow configurations. If this is the case go to SWU3 and check your workflow automatic customizing--> maintain runtime environment --> Configure RFC destination and then --> Schedule Backgroun job for event queue...> Execute this and see the background job linked to it SWEQSRV and see if this is actively running.

If you have a this is there in item overview status as well, then it is wise to look into the standard jobs reqrequp and all before going into the FM.

Other issue normally comes up is training issue where from you create a shopping cart and search for a purchaser who is not responsible for this product. Also when you say Carry out Sourcing --> Find --> remove your purchasing organization and purchase group and try again by clicking Start.

Best regards,

Sridhar.

Hello Achim,

• How is the sourcing flag SOURCE_REL_IND on item level?

• Can you find the item over the search functionality?

Hi,

customizing settings are fine. The release indicator is set as follows:

SOURCE_REL_IND = Y

Check the log either from Application monitor or RZ20. It seems that it got lost somewhere down the road. Push the SC again.

Please check whether sourcing has been activated for that particular product category used in the shopping cart.

IMG Path:

Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Sourcing -> Define Sourcing for Product Categories
