SRM 7 ECS : Contract Item in Invoice witout PO reference

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

We are implementing SRM 7 with ECS.

We create Invoice from scratch without PO reference. In "Add item" we have a very much interesting option called "Contract item".

Unfortunately this remains desperately gray at the moment.

We only have Product category local contracts in SRM not distributed in R3.

1. Does that option work per the standard with ECS?

2. What would be the required config if yes?

3. if there is no config do we need to activate a Badi for this?

Thanks in advance

As kiran said this feature is available from SRM 7 EHP1

Contract Handling for Invoices

You use this function to create invoices with a direct reference to an SAP ERP contract or SRM central contract. The invoice with the contract reference updates the history of the contract in SAP ERP. A release is then created for the reference central contract in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM).

To use this function, you must activate the business function SRM, Service Procurement Innovations (SRM_SERVICE_PROC_1).

Prerequisites

You have connected the SAP SRM system to the SAP ERP system.

You have performed the Customizing activity under: SAP Supplier Relationship Management SRM Server Cross-Application Basic Settings Service Procurement Activate Service Procurement Innovations .

Hi Muthu, I'm also experiencing the same problem but in my case the contract option itself not available while invoice without reference to PO created in SRM7.0 with Ehp2.

I have activated all respective functions.

Any idea ?

Hi

I think there is an enhancement available in SRM7.0 EhP1. The below info may be useful for you

Feature: Release of a central contract in SAP SRM to an invoice in SAP ERP

This enhancement allows the updates of SAP SRM central contracts, which are then referenced within an SAP ERP invoice. The invoice with an SAP SRM contract reference updates the history of the corresponding SAP ERP contract, which in turn initiates the creation of a release for the referenced SAP SRM central contract
