PPOSA_BBP attribute values preceding over to SC Template values

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

I am surprised and afraid on the behavior of precedance of attribute value from PPOSA_BBP over Shopping Cart Tempate values.

User want to use diff account assignment Catagpries say CC, OR and WBS, so we didn't set any AAC as default .

Mostly user will create Public Template for requiered AAC & its values. There is one Tempalate with AAC OR ( Order) and its value 1001. But while creating SC w.r.t this Public Tempalate, sytem is taking the last AAC in the Attribute list in PPOSA_BBP i.e. WBS. So I have to reenter the requiered values of the AAC and its value in SC, which is totaly unexpected and frustating.

Public Tempalete is very useful functionality in SRM and while creating the newSC w.r.t. Temapalte ALL data from Tempalate should copied in new SC irresepctive of twaht mentioned in the Attributes. ( Mainly this is not the problem when we create SC w.r.t. Old Shooping cart)

The setting in the attributes should be work while creating Shopping cart independantly, from scartch.

Can anyone suggest what should be issue /problem behind this behavior or this is SAP standard ?

Thanks

Hi ,

Even we face the same problem for any attribute if you have not set the default property BBP_READ_Attributes will take the last value of the attribute.

As per standard SAP it should work like that but what your point is correct. We checked with SAP they said it standard functionality.

we have implemented our custom solution for this.for example If there is no default cost center assigned then we made the cost center value black in the SC.

Hi ,

Actually as per standard SAP it will copy all the contents of the Public template.

Hi ,

For any attribute as per standard if you have not maintained default flag in PPOMA_BBP the FM BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES will take last value as default. Please check your code in change badi that you have assign accounting ctaegory these values when your creating SC from Existing SC template.

While creating SC from Existing you might be assigned the accounting category in change badi .You have to handle this in change badi .please check in you system and let me know.
