ROS issue in SRM 7.0 with SAP EP

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am on SRM 7.0 and have referred to several posts in this forum, in particular, these -

I have been able to bring the potential supplier to ACCEPTED status, thereafter, I am trying to make the potential supplier available in the SRM system as a Bidder/ Vendor. I know this needs to be done from the "Business Partner from List" - however, I am not able to see "Business Partner from List" in SAP EP Strategic Purchaser or SRM Administrator tabs.

Here is all of what I have done in SRM Configuration - I dont have a separate ROS Client, which means, the SRM and ROS Clients are both 100 in my case. There is no SUS either.

- configured Sup. Reg. (select prod cat for regn, language, assign questionnaire to prod cat.)in SRM Client.

- activated ROS services in SRM Client.

- created a service user in SRM. This user has roles: SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEUSER & SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEVENDOR. This user is maintainted in SRM client BSP service ROS_SELF_REG in Log on Data with SRM client, user ID and password.

- created an external web service 'ROS' in SRM with type "Supplier Diretory" and defined standard call structure as follows:

10 http://sapsrmabap.jiverry.com/sap/bc/bsp/sap/ros_prescreen/main.do 0 URL

20 SAP-CLIENT 100 2 Fixed Value

30 LOCALE ENGLISH 2 Fixed Value

40 User SNR 2 Fixed Value

50 PASSWORD password 2 Fixed Value

60 HOOK_URL <BLANK> 4 Return URL

70 ~OKCode ADDI 2 Fixed Value

80 ~target _top 2 Fixed Value

90 ~caller CTLG 2 Fixed Value

- maintained the table BBP_MARKETP_INFO with Vendor root, Std. Purchasing Org and Currency

Please let me know what I am missing in the configuration or what I have incorrectly done thus far.

Hi Bill,

The EP user has strategic purchaser and SRM admininstrator roles. Is there any other requirement?

When I go to "Create Business Partner - Supplier" and select "Add External Supplier From" the OPI - the system gives an error message - "Business Partner already exists" - I am not able to create Supplier from an "Accepted" Prospect - this is my problem.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

SNR,

Are you implementing ROS without SUS in one client?

I did face similar problem and Summer recommended me to change the SRM system from LOCAL to EBP_SUS (table BBP_BACKEND_DEST). Currently I am unable to try this on my system. Can you please try and let me know whether it works or not?

Did you manage to successfully complete this scenario?

I know XI is mandatory to change the potential supplieru2019s business partner status in ROS when they are accepted and transferred to EBP. Any idea what settings are required to perform.

Yes, it did. SAP came back with the suggestion (an OSS note).
