SAP SRM 7.0 Customer enhancement in Supplier Registration form

Summary:


Supplier registration process is a mandatory process for sourcing activity. For any new prospect suppliers to participate in a bid, they must exist in SRM system. We can bring these bidders into system using Supplier registration process. SAP does provide a standard form for registration but most of the customers has their custom requirement which requires enhancements in it.

Process to activate standard Form:

In SRM 7.0 SAP has provided ABAP WebDyn Pro form for Registration of supplier.

Step 1: Activate SRM_SUCO_1 switch and then active Supplier Self-Registration node (@ RoS Client).

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/2_287380.png

Step 2:- Under Node Questionnaire Settings maintain below configuration (RoS Client).This configuration is required to send Questionnaire after submitting registration from.

Create/Change Questionnaire

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/4_287419.png

Select Product Categories for Registration

Language Selection for Questionnaire

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/6_287457.png

Assign Questionnaire and Language to Product Category

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/7_287458.png

Step 3:- Activate SICF service for supplier form at RoS Client. Test this service & it will open a standard form.

Enhancement section

SAP main form consists of a main component which holds multiple view containers; each view container is linked with a webdynpro component.

Step 1:-  In this example Customer wants to add custom fields at General Company data component which is one of the webdynpro component linked with main form (I will be showing here for few fields for a single view).

  • Go to transaction SE80 and open webdynpro component /SAPSRM/WDC_SUCO_SREG_GEN for General data.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/a_287467.png

  • Add a append structure in INCL structure  INCL_EEW_BP_CSF_COMPANY_DATA. Here we are adding a custom field ZZ_SUP_TYPE. This INCL is associated with the above webdynpro view.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/b_287493.png

  • Now we want to make sure that data of this custom field should also store into data base table BUT000 (Master table for business partner).
  • For this we need to enhance BUT000 INCL structure INCL_EEW_BUT000 with the similar fields, add a custom append structure here as well.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/c_287494.png

  • Create an UI element and bind it with custom field inserted into INCL structure.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/d_287610.png

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/e_287618.png

Step 2:

Meta data settings; Go to transaction SM30 and maintain meta data  view /SAPSRM/V_MDF_S1 for RoS

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/8_287620.png

Step 3:- Test Service, it will open the form, now you will able to view custom field on the screen.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/9_287466.png

Test the changes:

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/10_287660.png

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/11_287674.png

A Questionnaire email should have floated to Supplier provided address.

/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/12_287681.png

You can find that data has been saved in business partner table BUT000 (@RoS client)

      Hello sir,

      Its very good document. Thanks for sharing this.

      I have one question regarding mail to vendor manager.

      Whether is this standard functionality mail should go to vendor about the new supplier registration. If yes, please let us know, where that setting needs to be maintained.

      Regards

      Thanks everyone for your inspiring comments.

      @Venkatesh You just need to configure SCOT for emails. Sending email is a standard function in this process. if you check below class then there is a method which is used for sending Questionnaire with email.

      Class    -->   /SAPSRM/CL_SUCO_QSTNR_PUBLISH

      Method -->   QSTNR_SEND

      HI Devraj,

      Thank you for your reply.

      Sorry for confusion. I mean mail regarding new vendor registration information to the manager/buyer with the content "A new supplier has been registered XXX...." . This mail is not trigerring in our case.

      Is this standard mail configuration or do we need to configure mail any where?

      Questionnaire mail is getting trigggered to vendor.

      Only problem is triggering mail to manager/buyer for the new supplier registration.

      Hi Venkatesh,

      As per my understanding these is no such provision in standard to send an email to buyer, most of the time buyers get to know about new supplier registered while checking "Supplier Pre Select Tab" using Operational purchaser role in role client but I believe there is a scope of custom development here.

      Let me know if need more information on the same.

      Can u let me know in which component you have done changes (i.e. there are multiple components in ROS form like Gen data, Contact person etc)? Provide me component names.

      for Validation Check

      ROS_BUPA_DATA_CHECK


      if it does not work then check "Note 1678039 - BAdi ROS_BUPA_DATA_CHECK not getting called in ROS"


      Or implement BUPA_EXTINCL_CHECK

      Hi Devraj,

      I followed the steps as for adding the custom fields.

      The z field it is not obligatory, therefore, and valid in webdynpro:

      Created action in ivew V_SUPP_GENERAL - > VAL_USER. And corrected validate.

      But when pressed the send button, not valid, so the enhancement, but the value is not sent. why?

      and implemented ROS_BUPA_DATA_CHECK but dont see the field in any  structure.

      in BUPA_EXTINCL_CHECK. I see the field, but it's clear

      Therefore does not record to a but000



      Thanks & Regards

      Hi All,

      We had also same issue. So we have written our enhancement to update the same.

      To update the custom field value in the BUT000 table, we need to implement the Implicit enhancement in the class : /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_BP_UPDATE_BUFF , Method : PREPARE_PD_CP_BASIC_DATA

      Hi Ravi,

      Have you implemented the Enhancement?

      /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_BP_UPDATE_BUFF , Method : PREPARE_PD_CP_BASIC_DATA

         IF ms_buffer_change-company_data-zz_ind_key NE ms_buffer_master-company_data-zz_ind_key. " Update action
        MOVE 'X' TO ms_pd_bupa-data_central_ext_x-zz_ind_key.
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING ms_buffer_change-company_data-ext_csf TO ms_pd_bupa-data_central_ext.
      ELSE. " Create action
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING ms_buffer_change-company_data-ext_csf TO ms_pd_bupa-data_central_ext.
      ENDIF.

      This is the code we have written for both update and create action of value.

      Hope this helps.

      First of all thanks for this post it's been very useful for me.

      I have followed the steps you have indicated in the post, but once i execute the service i cannot see the newly added fields. I can see them in the layout but not in the service.

      Hello Jon,

      True, you won't be able to see the newly added fields, since you have missed one part of it, which is configuration for all the custom fields. This is a brilliant document, but incomplete without this config part πŸ˜‰

      I am including here one example, please use it suitably and your job will be done πŸ™‚

      Please let me know if you face any further issue after this config.

      Jon,

      please take help from the above attached screen shot.

      It varies and depends on your requirement.

      You can select the different values based on the component, view, data section where you have appended the fields.

      BO set type- BCPB as in i had appended fields on contact data view only, select this value based on the Data type added on ROS form.

      BO Object Type- BCPB for ROS.

      Rest you can put as it is in the screenshot.

      So the table entry is:

      BC

      BUP002

      and my new field.

      I have saved it but i cannot see it in the dynpro.
