Hi Experts,

We are on SRM 4.0 .

How to use the FM BBP_BC_BID_CREATE for creating BIDs ?

I searched the forum but could not find anything on it.

Any information or link will be of great help.

Thanks,

It is an RFC enabled FM to create Bid Invitation. Try to "Test" the FM and see the usage of it.

Hi Jay,

That is the information I need help with, what all data is mandatory for running this FM?

The only mandatory parameter is the header. However, could you be more specific of your requirement, such as what you want to achieve with this FM? The more detail I get the more I could probably help.

Hi Jay,

We are in the process of automatically creating BIDs for some specific product groups. Now after we get the external requierments from ECC into SRM we need to fetch all the information required for creating a BID based on those external requierments we get from ECC.

So for creatinga BID using this FM , what all imprt parametrs and tables and their fields we have to populate and pass to this FM ?

Thanks a lot,

My suggestion would be to use 'BBP_PD_BID_CREATE' instead. This FM is more up to date than the one you mentioned.

For this FM, you'd pass in whatever information you have, e.g. header, item. You don't have to fill out ID related fields such as GUID or object_id, which would be generated by the system. If you just want to hold the bid invitation (this doesn't involve consistency check of the document), mark the I_PARK flag, whereas if you want to publish it, mark the I_SAVE flag. For simulation (without saving to DB), mark I_TESTRUN.
