Create Bids by using FM BBP_PD_QUOT_CREATE

Former Member

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a bid in SRM by calling the function module BBP_PD_QUOT_CREATE from outside the system? If not does anyone know of any way to create a bid in SRM via XI?

Because of security/audit concerns we do not want vendors to login to the SRM system to enter the bids.

Thanks.

Hi Sumat,

Can you please suggest how to go about doing this. If there is some coding required, can you give some sample code as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

Please refer the includes LBBP_QUOT_APPF32. and LBBP_QUOT_APPF52 for some standard SAP code for using the functions BBP_PD_QUOT_CREATE and BBP_PD_QUOT_SAVE.

Hi Kathirvel,

I was just wondering if you have done this before did you create a custom function module where you call the two function modules that you mentioned? We plan on calling the custom function module from XI which will pass the bid informatin, does this sound like the correct approach to you?

If you have done this before any chance you can provide us with any custom code you might have assuming you created a custom function module?

Thanks you have been a huge help now and in the past, we really appreciate it!

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately I have not tried the Bids functionality yet, but I wrote a custom program to upload shopping carts using BBP_PD_SC_CREATE and BBP_PD_SC_SAVE in the past and it worked fine.

By the way there is a standard proxy for creating the Bids. Why dont you give that a try. If this does not suffice, then you can opt for the custom program, which should not be a problem.

I will check for any re-usable code related to Bids and as soon as I find that I shall post it in this thread.

Hi Kathirvel,

Thanks for your reply. Just so you know we did in fact look at the standard proxy interface in SPROXY. The problem is that it, unless i am missing something it appears that you have to fill in way too much data. I would expect the proxy to only require the bid intiation number and the field related to the bid response, but there are way more fields then that and most of them are marked as required.

Anyhow that is why we decided just to create a function module that can be called remotely by XI. This way we can have XI only send a minimal amount of information.

If you have any thoughts on this please let me know...like I've said you have been an big help.

Hi Paul, Our intent is to use SRM to create/manage/evaluate RFx events and Quadrem for document exchange and supplier bid entry as follows:

1) Create RFx event in SRM

2) Distribute RFx event to Suppliers

3) Suppliers enter Bids on Quadrem

4) Quotes sent from Quadrem to SRM via XI

5) Quotes evaluated and awarded in SRM

We're running into a similar problem in that the standard Proxy (QuoteNotification_In) requires numerous fields.

- What fields are required by QuoteNotification_In?

- What fields did you include in your custom function module?

Hi,

You can use this function module to create Bid response from the supplier. However this function module would only create the document in buffers. In order to save it to database use the function module BBP_PD_QUOT_SAVE.
