RFx Response Dynamic Attribute Sending Error

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I added only one dynamic and weighted-mandatory- yes/no attribute field to the item of RFx and published it as purchaser. Then i logged on to the SRM system with the contact person's user. I maintained bid's price and selected appropriate answer for the mandatory dynamic attribute. While i'm trying to send the bid response, system gives error "Line 0001: Attribute XXX is mandatory; maintain attribute value". and then realized that system clears the attribute value while i pressed Submit button. I tried to use other attribute types ( date, char, quantity etc) but again same error. I checked all active badi's and couldn't find a coding for this. Also I'm able to send RFx responses which has no dynamic attributes. I checked all customizing settings but couldn't find the root cause. Can you please help?

My SRM system is SRM 7.0 with support package SAPKIBKV07.

I am not sure if the following note would help you, but you could try.

Note 1466341 - Fixed values for Questions dissappear in RFX

I am on SP 08. Without specifying weights for the mandatory questions, my response can be submitted as long as I fill it with answer. You can also try to remove the weights and see if it is the reason for your answer being wiped out.

Note 913747 - No bid on item with mandatory attribute

A bid invitation with mandatory attributes (entry required) at item level was created using Transaction BBP_BID_INV. Bids for all items are not necessary (the checkbox 'Bids required for all items' is initial).

A bidder creates a bid on this bid invitation using Transaction BBP_QUOT , which does not provide a quantity for all items.

During the check or submission of the quotation, the following error message (or similar) appears also for items with necessary attributes, for which no bid has been created (quantity field is initial): 'The attribute ... is mandatory. Maintaining attribute value (item X)'

The check should occur only for items with mandatory attributes for which a bid was created (quantity field is not initial).

Comment:

If a bid item with initial price field and filled quantity field (quantity not equal to zero) is submitted, there was a bid for the item. This item is then free of charge and its mandatory attributes must be maintained

KINDLY CHECK .

But this note is for lower version. see piece of code correction

Hi Muthu,

Thanks for fast reply. I checked the Note and compared related corrections and my system. It seems already implemented. It's a very interesting case.
