What about vendor in the all line items?

Valid time is different in each line item

in ECC , usually it is only one item for frame work order.

I believe it is a standard SRM.

let us wait for others reply. i dont have system now to test this.

what technical deployment ? classic or ecs?

Question 1:

Why do limit shopping carts split into multiple PO's ?

Answer:

In a Purchase Order there cannot be two separate limit items.

But it is possible to have two limits, provided each of the limit is under different hierarchy. i.e.

If you want to have two limit items in one PO, this is possible if you create a Shopping cart with two hierarchies with one limit item in each hierarchy.

In this way only you can have two limit items in one PO in case ECS, this is the standard system design

Question 2:

What is the splitting criteria ?

Answer:

There are a number of criteria that are taken into account when creating the follow-on document:

proc_org Purchasing Org

proc_group Purchasing Group

co_code Company Code

Pcins Procurement card company

Pcnum Procurement card number

ext_quote_id External Quotation

logsys_fi Logical Financial System

ext_dem_logsys Logical System from where an External Re-quirement Comes

ext_dem_posid External Requirement Item Number

Subtype Item Subtype (Extended, local scenario)

guid_ven Vendor Guid

guid_prpven Desired vendor Guid

suppl_addr. Ship to address fields

Doc_type Process Type

Additional splits:

Always split extended limit items

Always split if there is a missing vendor

Items grouped by hierarchies are split to separate PO s

The split criteria can be found within the code of Class CL_BBP_SC_TRANSFER. From this class there are a method's depending on the follow-on document type:

SPLIT_BACKEND_OBJECTS

SPLIT_BACKEND_PO

SPLIT_BID

SPLIT_LOCAL_AND_BACKEND_ITEMS

SPLIT_LOCAL_OBJECTS

SPLIT_LOCAL_PO

SPLIT_LOCAL_PO_DO

SPLIT_PO_BE_MAP_CRITERIA

SPLIT_PO_LOC_CHK_LIMIT

SPLIT_PO_LOC_CMP_CRITERIA

SPLIT_PO_LOC_MAP_CRITERIA

SPLIT_REQUISITION

SPLIT_RESERVATION

Muthu,

What i would like to know is that what do you mean by hierarchies ?

Also, could you elaborate on following 2 conditions

--> Always split extended limit items

--> Items grouped by hierarchies are split to separate PO s

Thanks for your help.

SAP Note 1380879 - FAQ: Split criteria in the Sourcing

Cockpit

Hierarchies

You can use this function in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) to support sourcing of purchase requisitions for service items from SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP), including service item hierarchies. This allows you to support service structures with a maximum depth of five outline levels. In addition, hierarchies are supported in Supplier Self-Services (SUS), allowing supplier collaboration for back-end purchase orders containing service item hierarchies.

Note

Currently, RFxs, RFx responses, and shopping carts are supported in SAP SRM, whereas sales orders and confirmations are supported in SUS. For shopping carts, however, hierarchies are only supported when they have been created based on external requirements with hierarchies. In other words, you cannot create shopping carts in SAP SRM and then build hierarchies.

End of the note.

You can use outline items to structure service requirements, and break them down into their smallest components using configurable item numbering. Outline items are purely informational, and allow you to group subline items. They must contain at least one subline item, and do not trigger follow-on processes. Subline items can be either outline items or line items. Contrary to outline items, line items contain accounting information and trigger follow-on processes. You can roll down prices, and other information, such as business partners, delivery date, and account assignment, to lower levels. Similarly, you can roll up prices from lower levels and sum them up.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management under SRM Server Cross-Application Basic Settings Service Procurement Activate Service Procurement , you must have activated the hierarchy function.

You have defined settings as described in SAP Solution Manager under <project name> Configuration SAP SRM <release> Basic Settings for Service Procurement Classic Settings for SAP SRM Activate Service Procurement Classic . This configuration step applies to both SAP SRM and Materials Management.

Example

You could structure a computer delivery as follows, using configurable line item numbers:

1 Outline IT Equipment

1.1 Outline Laptop

1.1.1 Material Hardware

1.1.1.1 Info line RAM

1.1.1.2 Info line DVD drive

1.1.2 Outline Software

1.1.2.1 Material Microsoft Office

1.1.2.2 Material CAD

Values are entered at item level and rolled up to the superordinate outline level, whereas the delivery date is entered at outline level and rolled down to the item levels.

Hi Muthu,

Any idea how i can add 2 items under one hierarchy ? \

As per SAP Note 1380879.

If you want to have two limit items in one PO, this is possible if you create a Shopping cart with two hierarchies with one limit item in each hierarchy.

How can i create a Hierarchy ?

Thanks,

Radhika.

Hi

You can use comm_hierarchy transaction program for uploading product category Hierarchy

many customer does according to the business need.

I believe recently SAP written some consulting note on this.

i will check and let you know.

it is like instaed of bring from ecc . you are creating product category in SRM with the same name with desired levels.

have you seen UNSPSC product category hierarchy ?

Limit Item

You can create items with value limit and/or validity period. In this way, you can execute simple procurement transactions quickly and easily. Such planned procurements are in the form of a general description with a value limit. Up to this limit, confirmations for goods receipts or services, as well as invoices can be entered. You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) Change Display in Shopping Cart to show or hide this link.

*Old Shopping Carts and Templates*

You can transfer individual items or even entire shopping carts from old shopping carts and templates to your new shopping cart.

Cross-Catalog Search

If you select this option, the catalogs that support cross-catalog search are displayed in a separate dialog box. You can enter a search term and start the search.

As Service Order

You can order external staff or services. You can use the BAdI Change Display in Shopping Cart to show or hide this link.

As Service Request

You can request information on external staff or services from suppliers. You can use the BAdI Change Display in Shopping Cart to show or hide this link.

<Name of a specific catalog>

You can search for products in the individual catalogs that are listed

Free Description

If you have not been able to find an appropriate product in the catalogs, you can enter a free text description of the required goods or services in the Description field.
