Question Re: SRM Central Contract Distribution in Spend Management Q&A

SRM Central Contract Distribution

Former Member — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 11:17:42 GMT

Hello SRM Gurus,

We are about to implement the central contract scenario in the classic scenario of SRM 7.02 with ERP 6 EHP 6. After the contract is created in SRM and the distribution is maintained for a purchasing organization the integration on ERP end fails with error that no company code was entered. Please be informed, that we do not maintain one to one relationship between purchasing organization and a company code in the ERP under: SPRO -> Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Materials Management -> Assign Purchasing org. to company code. Our purchasing organizations are procuring on cross-company way, what means we need to distribute one central contract to purchasing organization with multiple company codes. According the SAP Note: 0001547977 we should use Business Add-In MEOUT_PROCESS_CUST with the method PROCESS_HEADER, or PUR_SPOT_SE_PURCHASINGCONTRACT with method INBOUND_PROCESSING to enrich the data with the company code number. Can you please confirm this also works for our scenario, where the desired functionality is, that one central contract becomes visible as a source of supply for multiple company codes in SRM? Does SRM support this kind procurement?

Thanks in advance

Michal

Hi Michal,

I looked into your query and could confirm that the options in note 1547977 can be used for your case.

In fact, this is one limitation in ECC side that the application needs a company code to work while creating/replicating central contract.

So if you do not want to maintain company code for the ECC organization with trx OX01, please refer to

the two options in note 1547977--Q6.

Hello Ivy,

Thanks for your answer.

In the meantime I've also tested this scenario and can confirm, that once the company code is added using the BADI the central contract becomes a visible source of supply for all other company codes.

(company code is not a key in source of supply determination).

Best regards,

Michal
