Why I am unable to see the VendorID in QuoteMessage cxml?


Cause

Vendor ID assigned for the supplier was conflicting with the existing supplier.


Resolution

Note : With the new features CF-6889 (enabled on Sourcing side) & CF-6890 (enabled on Business Network side) in place the supplier trading relationship gets established as soon as the buyer clicks on Send Quote to External System from awarded event. Supplier is no longer required to manually accept the trading relationship.

Note : Vendor ID should be unique for each suppliers. While defining a Vendor ID for supplier in Sourcing make sure that it wont conflict with the Vendor ID defined for the existing suppliers. The Vendor ID in the SAP Business Network mush match the Vendor Key in Sourcing. Otherwise the PrivateID element will not be added to the payload when it passes through the SAP Business Network.
