Contract is missing in Soco - Classic

[Former Member]

Hi averyone,

We have a issue. We are working with SRM 7.0 SP9 and ECC 6.0 Ehp4. We are in classic scenario. As you know, in classic scenario only backend contracts are available. Well, when we create a requirement (SC or PR) this is sent to Soco. Then, the user searches for a source of supply. In this case, we see the contract. We assign it and when the screen come back to the requirement, it has the vendor and price, but the contract number and position are empty, after that we create the PO, but also, the contract number is missing.

What can be the problem?

Hi Ivan

you can see the contract reference in the purchase order .

for ex

sc created without assigning any source of supply.

now sc item goes to cockpit

now BUYER can propose a source of supply

now available contracts are populated and buyer can compare price and select any one of the contracts.

or BUYER can manually enter a contract number and line item

now BUYER create a draft PO and PO created in the ECC system

so where you are expecting the contract referece in the SRM busines sobjects.

Ivan -- I could not understand your statement fully the below you stated

but the contract number and position are empty, after that we create the PO, but also, the contract number is missing.

Hi Muthuraman,

Ok, until the step: "now available contracts are populated and buyer can compare price and select any one of the contracts." we are in the same way.

In this step you are in a screen where you have a table with the requirements. Here you push"Propose Source of Supply" when you do this a new screen is opened. Here, the buyer selects a backend contract and push "Assign Only". After that, the screen is closed and come back to the requirement table. Now, the requirement has the vendor and price, but the contract number and the contract item are empty. If we continue with the process, we push "Create a Draft" and choose "purchase order". Finally we push "Process all drafts" and the backend PO is created. In ECC we check in Tcode ME23N the PO and the fields contract number and contract position are empty also.

I hope this can be more understandable.

Hi

one question to you .

are you saying that vendor data only copied to shopping cart/ draft purchase order item to create a PO.

what about the price in the PO . is it copied from contract ?

where are you checking in the PO contract no and item numer.

after you create a PO - can you see the release value in the contract against the purchase order.

Hi Muthu,

We checked and It was a problem with the data.

However, we have a doubt. We can now see material contracts in SoCo and use them as SoS, but we can see service contract.

What do we have to take in count in order to can use ECC service contracts?

Thanks,
