Supplier Qualification: Vendor not available in Supplier Monitor.

[former_member524065]

Dear Experts,

I have set up Supplier Qualification with ERP (SRM 7 - EhP1 not implemented).

When testing the process I found out the following:

- In transaction "Preselect Supplier" I have accepted a potential supplier.

- In Transaction "Transfer Supplier" I can see this Supplier and I have clicked on the button: "Transfer" Button.

- After I have clicked on the transfer button this supplier has disappaered from the "Transfer Supplier" transaction.

- I opened the transaction "Supplier Monitor". There I was expecting to see the supplier I have just transferred. But this supplier is not available in the supplier monitor.

Anybody can tell me what the reason for that could be?

Thanks

Hello Nikhil,

Here is a step by step description of what I have done.

1. Supplier registered himself through the internet url provided --> result: BP created in ROS

2. Questionnaire is sent to the supplier

3. Supplier enters the questionnaire and submit

4. Buyer log into the system to view submitted questionnaire (questionnaire not available yet since inbound mail is not yet configured).

5. Buyer accepts the the supplier in "Supplier Pre-Selection. --> Supplier is available in Supplier Directory.

As I understand the accepted supplier can be used to

- create a BP of type Supplier

- can be used as bidder in a RFx

- can be transferred to ECC from supplier monitor.

As I mentioned before I'm getting the following errors/behaviour.

1. When go to transaction create supplier and I select the accepted supplier from the supplier directory and I click on transfer I get the error messages described above.

2. When I Create an RFx and I want to select a bidder I will select the accepted supplier from the supplier directory and click on transfer it will not get transfered. No error messages displayed.

3. When I go to the supplier monitor transaction I cannot see the accepted suppliers in there.

Hi Djurick,

Have you defined the attribute SBM_PRESCREENING under CATALOG_ID attribute for your purchaser?

Also wanted to know how you have declared your systems in the following path : SPRO -- Technical Settings -- Define System landscape. Since you have SRM and ROS in the same client pl share your settings under this path.

Hi,

Can you implement the note 1553182 - Create Business Partner from ROS catalog and test the system behaviour. This was a known BUG in SRM. There have been a couple of notes released to address this problem one of them is 1553182.

Please implement and test the system behvaiour.
