Attachments of POs & Invoices from R/3 to SRM

In a PO, we can create attachemnts using GOS (Icon on the top left hand corner).

So, when I transfer PO data from R?3 to SRM using XI, all these attachments are also to be sent.

How can I do this?

DO I need XI or any standard procedure is there to handle this or any ABAP coding is required for this?

Please share your thoughts on this.

The same way, data should flow between SRM EBP to SUS along with the attachments.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi Masa,

Thanks for that. But I think, am not getting what I want.

Can you throw more light on that.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

Please explain your business scenario. Is it MM-SUS deployment or EBP-SUS deployment ? What kind of error did you get ?

Regards,

Masa

its not MM-SUS.

I wanna transfer some or all POs and invoices data from EBP to SUS.

Can I do it?

But that POs have to be transferred along with the attachments in the GOS.

Note:

if u open ME22N, on the top left hand side, u will find a small button to create attachments to any PO etc..

Hope am clear now.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

EBP-SUS is one of the standard solution. Please check the Business Scenario Configuration Guide for Service Procurement.

[http://service.sap.com/ibc-srm|http://service.sap.com/ibc-srm]

Please explain why do you need to transfer PO from R/3 to EBP. I don't understand it.

Regards,

Masa

Yes, I can understand why you are surprised. But exactly I too cannot tell you.Its client requirement. Many people told me there can never be a case like that.But frankly, here req is like that.

In the market place, did he deal with sending attachments also? I checked that guide. But I dont think I found anything like that. can you please help me.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

Attachment transfer is in standard between EBP->SUS. Do you have any issue?

Regards,

Masa

Hi Masa,

Thanks 4 all ur replies.

Am an Xi consultant and for this req they approached me.

So they want all POs, POrs Invoices etc to be transferred to SUS from EBP (EBP to SUS) along with the attachemnts (GOS Objects) which are existing to each documents.

So do you mean to say that all this can be done by standard SRM config?

Can you please let me know the steps to be followed or any docs for it?

If no, does XI play any role here. If yes, Any steps or docs for it?

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

There is the customizing flag in SRM IMG.

SRM Server

-> Cross-Application basic setting

-> Define setting for attachments.

Details: Added Entries,

Also Transfer Attachments during.Doc Output via Exchange Infrastructure

You can also check the XI contents, you will find attachment sanction in the schema.

Masa

Hi Masa,

I am not understanding.

Can you explain in more details or provide me your contact details so that I can get in touch with you directly for this.

Many Thanks

Kiran

Let's continue in this thread. Other consultant may have same issue or questions. You can also provide a solution in this thread.

Masa

Ok. can you please put the steps in detail to transfer the POs along with the attachments in GOS.

Thanks for you help in anticipation.

Hi,

Are you talking about PO from R/3 or from EBP ? Here is the technical flow.

R/3 (IDoc) -> XI,

EBP (Proxy) -> XI

Please let us know what is your system landscape and what have you configured and what is the current issue ?

Main steps:

1. EBP-XI-SUS customizing. Please check the Business Scenario Configuration Guide.

2. Attachment transfer customizing in the IMG

Regards,

Masa

Hi Masa,

I have both the scenarios to be done.

1. R/3 to EBP

2. EBP to SUS.

But my main concentraion is on the second now.

I want to trigger POs from EBP to SUS.

Can you please let me know the exact XI content (Like Message Typs, Interfaces etc ) to be used in XI design.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

1. SRM XI content has Service Procurement scenario

2. Additional customizing in SRM IMG.

SRM Server -> Cross Appli... -> Enable Use of Exchange Infrastructure

3. Set the Business Partner (Supplier)

Standard Communication = XI

Business Partner Type = Portal Vendor

Please double check the Configuration Guide.

Bid Invitation is not transfered to SUS. Supplier logon to SUS and when user selects the Bid Invitation link, Single Sign On works and SUS brings up the EBP Bid Invitation screen.

Regards,

Masa

Hi Masa,

Can you send me that doc to my id

I wan to know, if that will hold all the info on what standard XI content to be used for my PO triggering from EBP to SUS?

Do you find something like this ?

Importing Business Scenarios

Use

In this section you transfer the Service Procurement business scenario from the SAP Integration Repository, generate it, and finally activate it.

Prerequisites

The business system for SAP Enterprise Buyer (EBP) and the business system for SAP Supplier Self-Services (SUS) have been defined.

The XI content for mySAP SRM has been imported into SAP Integration Repository.

For more information on how to import XI content, see SAP Note 705541 Importing XI content (XI 3.0 SP01 and higher).

Procedure

1. Using transaction SXMB_IFR, choose Integration Builder: Configuration (Integration Directory) in the SAP XI system.

2. Choose Tools → Transfer Business Scenario from Integration Repository.

3. Choose tab page Objects → SAPSRM SERVER.

The system opens a wizard window Transfer Business Scenario from the Integration Repository.

4. Choose Repository Business Scenario.

5. Using input help, choose in the Name field SERVICE_PROCUREMENT_SUPPLIER_ENABLEMENT (with namespace http://sap.com/xi/SRM/Basis/Global and component SAP SRM SERVER 5.0).

6. Click OK and Continue.

7. Continue with the next step Create Scenario. Enter the Scenario Name Service Procurement.

Are you looking for the contents download page ?

Entry by Application Group -> SAP Application Components -> SAP SRM (WITH SAP EBP) -> (version) -> Entry by Component -> XI Content -> XI CONTENT SRM SERVER

Regards,

Masa

Yes, I can find all those. But, the content will have no.of data types, messgae types interfaces scenarios etc.

Now in them which one is the right choice for me.

Thanks

Kiran

You can check it in the Integration Repository.

Message Interface:

http://sap.com/xi/EBP - Order_CreateOrChangeVendorView_Out

http://sap.com/xi/SRM/SupplierEnablement/Global - PurchaseOrderRequest_In

Regards,

Masa

Thanks a lot.

I have completed the design and config.

Few points for this : )

But am stuck about the settings required to be done in EBP, XI & SUS.

Do I need to genarate proxy and write a code for this? or any settings shall do the trick?

Thanks a lot for your help

Kiran

Hi,

The PO transfer is standard function so you do not need any XI design and proxy generation.

Please provide detail information of your issue. It is very heard to guess your issue without detail information.

Regards,

Masa

My issue is,

I used the pre-defined content you have mentioed using XI and completed the ehwole scenario in XI.

But now I want to know how my PO in EBP is getting transferred to SUS.

What are the settngs i need to do in EBP & Xi & SUS.

Is it a proxy genaration and then write code in it or any?

please let me know.

I am sorry. i forgot to award points yesterday and now I have done it.

Pl help me out the settings and how to test my scenario now.

Thanks

Kiran

Hi,

1. Please check your Business Partner for supplier (Manage Business Partner)

- Standard Communication = XI

- Business Partner Type = Portal Vendor

2. Purchaser creates a PO in SRM

- Business Partner ID for supplier is in the PO

3. Depend on the workflow start conditions, workflow starts and responsible person approves it.

4. System is going to handle output action

- System checks Communication = XI in the PO

- EBP system has been customized. XI =yes

- System checks output action customizing. like auto output.

- System checks Define setting for attachments customizing

- The proxy is called

All functions are in standard. You do not need any proxy generation or any extra program code.

I think XI consultant should work together with SRM consultant for this testing.

Please contact your SRM consultant in your project.

Masa
