Ordering party could not be determined while creating a Local contract

[Former Member]

HI Friends

SRM 7.0 Extended Classic scenario.

Warning message:Ordering party could not be determined

Could anyone share how can we eliminate this warning while creating a Local contract.

Also a prompt sayign Org Unit doesnt Exist keeps popping couple of timeswhile creating the contract.Not sure if both the error and warning are related.

Who would be the ordering part for a contract ,i suppose its The Company ,if that is the case all seems fine in the Org structure.

Thanks and Regards

HI Friends

Its been figured out that ,Ordering party is the company code but the issue remaina

Hi Friends

Updating it after some analysis. The issue is with Ordering Party not being determined.

Firstly becuase of our company codes are mainatained not in the hierarchy but in as User attributes.

Adding to this we dont have any Business Partner numbers associated to company code.So even if we use BBP_DOC_CHECK to place the Ordering party Partner details. ,we canonly end up reading the company code of the user thorugh Function module but we would be unsucessful since we don thave associated BP number.

This also makes us to fail while transferring the Contracts from Backend to SRM,since it says no Org unit exists.

Questions) Can we make any modifications

1) On any other attribute (like purchaisng org)to get inculuded as

Ordering party.

Or

2) can we key in the BP number of the root org. unit. We just have two

company codes and we are OK if the Ordering party is differentiated at

the root org level.

We have no issues If the Ordering party is same for both the company

codes.

3) Alternatively ,can we do anything to the Org structre locally in

SRM ,so that a company code can be associated with a new BP number.Pls

note we have an HR integration scenario.

Also ,how do we handle this issue while transfer of contracts from

backend through SRM_CONTRACT_INITIAL_UPLOAD ,because the contracts

would error out as they would not have a org id to associate.
