Ship to Address issue in SRM

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus.

I need some help refering to Ship to Address .

We are using SRM 5 in the extended classic scenario and we are facing a problem during the migration of PR originating from a backend:

The procedure has been as follows:

(01) We are not using attribute ADDR_SHIPT of PPOMA_BBP.

(02) Using transaction BP we've maintained 4 Ship to Address to the Purchasing Organization used.

(03) We create a purchase requisition in R/3 and sent it to the SRM.

(04) The Ship to Address of the items is always filled with the address of the Organization defined in the Address tab for teh Purchasing Organization in PPOMA_BBP.

(05) When we create a PO for this PR through Portal and try to change the Ship to Address for an existing one (using search help), the only options are those that are listed as Ship to Address for the Purchasing Organization in transaction BP . The problem is that even after choosing the new address, when we move back to the partners screen, the name of the address still poins to the old address.

So we have two problems:

(01) How do we must proced to fill the Ship to Address of the item in SRM with the same Ship to Address filled for the item in the PR? It is possible by standard?

(02) Can we correct the error reported in item 5 above by making any standard setting or just by customizing?

Hope you can help us with these issues.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Evandro

I understand that you are trying to change the delivery address after creating the purchase order.

Is it correct?

---

As per standard SRM -

you might have created ship to address via WEB and refered the address number of the ship to address in the organisation structure. This address might inherit to shopping cart while creating follow on docuement.

-

---

but you told us that you are in Extended classic mode with some custom development you create a Purchase request for the shopping cart .

How you are converting the Purchase request into Purchase Order ?

Hope the process you might be doing in ECC . can you clarify?

Note 948061 - Deleted Ship to addr. for PO is transferred to backend

Symptom

If you change a ship to address at the line item level of a PO, this change is not transferred to the backend system.

Hi Muthu

The problem is that all PR items are being sent to SRM with a default Ship to Address instead of the Ship to Address described for each item in the PR.

After some investigation we found out that this address comes from the Purchasing Organization default address wich can be seen through PPOMA_BBP (address tab at Purchasing Organization level).

So, this is the first problem. Items are arriving in SRM with wrong Ship to Address and buyer must correct all of them manually, wich is terrible and unacceptable for the end user.

Trying to fix this palliatively, we've maintained a few different Ship to Address in SRM so that buyer can create a PO in SRM (through Sourcing Cockpit) and then change the address for the PO items using search help instead of keep filling in all address fields for Ship to Address.

By doing this we found a second issue while choosing one of these address already maintained in the system. The main name for the address (wich can be seen in the PO partner tab view) shows the Purchasing Organization name, instead of c/o name defined in the address. Therefore user can not know wich is the address choosen for each item unless he opens the address details for all items since all address are indexed to the same Purchasing Organization and therefore to the same address name.

Mainly what we need to know is how to make Ship to Address described for the items in PR comes exactly the same to SRM instead of the default address.

Thanks for your support.

Hi

Hope you might be in plan driven procurement scenario.

I could understand that your ship to address are over riden when PR convert into shopping cart .

so BUYER manually edit the ship to address in the cock pit area and Order a Purchase order .Let me study and come back to you .

What is defaulting ship to address in all the shopping carts ?

you are sure that you never maintained any ship to address manually in the organisation structure as default .

Hi Evandro,

Suggest you try implementing BADI to set the Ship to address same as what you have in PR.

Pl try BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI .

Muthu,

the standard is setting the Ship to Address with the Purchasing Organization default address. Ther is no customizing at this point.

Also, we have never maintained any Ship to Address in the Organization Structure.

Ramki,

do you think the better option is to manually generate a new ADDR_NUM in ADRC for each address sent from PR? There is no way we can do this by standard?

Many thanks for all your suport.

There is a standard transaction to create internal addresses in SRM.

You can create internal addresses in web interface and set them as ship-to-address and/or invoice recipient address.

It will also create entries in ADRC table.

Hi Ramki.

I understand your point, but i am still not confortable with this answer.

Is there any way to configure, by standard, the Ship to Address from an item in PR to be sent to the respective item in SC?

Hi

I believe your ship to address are not carried over to SRM from ECC and some default ship to address is inherited to shopping address.

Can you check your BBP_PD transaction what is the ship to address reference ?

Normally it should not overriden in SRM.

please update here in the thread

what is ship to address in ECC Purchase Request - for example 22, george road , Washington

What is the ship to address in SRM shopping cart - 11, john road , TEXAS.

Are you saying that BIUYER again change the address from 11, john road , TEXAS to 22, george road , Washington .

This is for our understanding the issue bettter.

so if BUyers dont change the address remain same as john road , TEXAS .

in SRM shopping cart bbp_pd - what is the partner funtion -27 ?

Hello Evandro,

I would recommend to use the attribute 'ADDR_SHIPT'.

In the PDP scenario, the shoping cart is created by the RFC user of the MRP channel and the ship to address is picked from this user in the Org structure..

For example:

Global Root Organisation

Wichita USA

When the Buyer converts the requirement into a PO the 'ADDR_SHIPT' maintained for the buyer in the Org structure is picked.. which shall be the Back end Plant address

(Deutschland) GmbH

Oestringen DEMaintenance of the attributes of the 'ADDR_SHIPT' is also simple..

INVISTA (Deutschland) GmbH

Oestringen

Hi Nagarajan.

Sorry for the late answer.

I understand what you are saying, but this still do not solve the issue when a purhaser can buy for many plants, correct?

Hi Muthu.

Sorry for taking too long time to answer.

You are right in your example. Also Partner Function 27 points to the BP of the address defined in PR, ie, 11, john road , TEXAS.
