"Attribute" field in product class

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell what is the use of Attributes field which is present in product class?
Thanks,
Sandy

To complement previous answer, I'm adding a referece to the Design Sutdio (DS) for OSM Documentation which describes product attributes in section: "About Product Classes"
Here is an extract from the DS documentation:
"... Product classes include dynamic attributes (characteristics) for a specific type of product. For example, DSL attributes might include Up Speed, Down Speed, Quality of Service, or Service ID.
... Incoming customer orders contain order items that include product class attributes as key/value pairs. For example, an order item may contain the DSL attribute Up Speed with a value of 1MB. Product class attributes enable Design Studio to anticipate the structure of an order item and pass the attribute key/value pairs to downstream systems"

Product class and Attributes

Can a single product class with attributes be mapped to 2 separate product specification (based on the value of the attribute). Eg, lets say there is a product class called Internet which has an attribute called Site type. The value of the attribute site type could be single site or multi-site. Based on the value of the attribute for the product class, we need to invoke different orchestration plans.
Is this possible? If yes, how can this be achieved? We would also like to know if this is the right approach. If not, how do we model such requirements

Hi Nagu,
Look at it from a different perspective - The value prop. of Product Class (PC) to Product Spec (PS) mapping is that you don't have to to change the PS, based for every offering based on that specific PC or even if there is an attribute value change (Eg. value of the attribute Download speed changes from 3Mbps to 12Mbps), the PS remains the same. Now, if you like to introduce a new PS for corresponding to every attribute value of the PC, then this value of PS -PS mapping is lost i.e. now you will have to introduce a new PS when the value of an attribute changes, which is not desirable. OSM provides you enough flexibility wrt. to order decomposition, dependencies between order components, dynamic orchestration dependencies etc. to create the orchestration plan based based on the order attributes (which includes the PC attribute values) and you should be looking at these features to achieve your use cases. The recommendation is generic though, if you could flesh out your use case for us, we would be happy to recommend an approach.
Thanks,
Deep

Field-symbols as class attribute

Hi Fellas,
Is there a way we can define a field-symbols as a class attribute ? My requirement is that i am dynamically constructing a structure at runtime in my model class and binding the component of this structure to my view fields. I am able to create the structure which is basically ref to cl_abap_structdescr and the problem is when i am binding to the model attribute, i need this to be a structure so that i can address the components as "//model/structure.component".
Please let me know how we can define a field-symbol as a class attribute.
Cheers,
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Field-Symbol as class attribute is not possible. Your way to do this by REF TO DATA is the correct way for that.
By default data binding is only possible like this:
Simple field attribute
value=//<model>/<field name>
Structure attribute
value=//<model>/<structure name>.<field name>
Table attribute
value=//<model>/<table name>[<line index].<field name>
If you want to bind to your data reference you have to implement your own getter and setter methods. Read this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fb/fbb84c20df274aa52a0b0833769057/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fb/fbb84c20df274aa52a0b0833769057/frameset.htm</a> for further information. In addition to that, you have to implement your own GET_M_S_xxx to return metadata of your structure. By doing all this it is possible to implement a completely dynamic data binding. In the view it looks like the regular Structure attribute: value=//<model>/<data-ref name>.<field name>

Model Binding and Calculated Field Syntax for "class" Attribute

Hi,
I tried to use the calculated field syntax from SAP UI5 to change the CSS class attribute of an element based on some model property, i.e., I wanted to change the class in the corresponding formatter function based on the currently bound value. However, my formatter function is not called. When I use the same syntax on a text attribute, it works.
I also tried to use normal property binding, but it did not work on the class attribute either (it just put class="{property}" in the rendered HTML).
Is there anything I missed or is it just not possible to use property binding and calculated field syntax for class attributes? Did anybody try something like this before?
I think it is a standard use case to change the CSS class based on some model property. So, if anybody knows how to do that, could you give a short example?
Best regards
Svenja

They have a class property. At least, I can do the following in an XML view:
<Button
              icon="sap-icon://add"
              press="onButtonPress"
              class="my-button-class" />
I would expect the following to work as well, but for me it did not:
<Button
              icon="sap-icon://add"
              press="onButtonPress"
              class="{/customClass}" />
This renders the following HTML (cropped to the important parts):
<button type="button" class="sapMBtn {/customClass}">
</button>
It seems like the class attribute is something special although I don't see a reason why. Other HTML templating engines, for example, support things like that.

Field symbols as Class Attributes

Hello Gurus,
Is anybody able to say to me if it is possible to declare field symbols as class attributes? As I can understand until now, this is not possible and we need to use some attribute with the "TYPE REF TO Data" to get the information we need. Correct?
Thanks,
Daniel.

As you can see, I am repeating almost the same code, just changing some items. I am not sure if I can use new parameters (ANY or ANY TABLE) but, my first idea to improve it was to use the field-symbols (and it works ok). The issue is that I have to repeat the assignment lines every same named method of the classes I am changing (I would like to do the assignment into a new method of the superclass). Do you think it is possible or should I give up and proceed with the assignments locally, for each same named method of each class?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Search on the custom field in Product doesn't work

Hello everyone!
Lately I was configuring additional custom field for product header and succeed. Then I wanted to add this field as a search criteria for product search and I followed help on help.sap.com and note 1026956. Here are the steps I did:
1. I've extended structures CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_PROD and CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_IOBJ with my custom attribute.
2. I went to Master Data->Products-> Basic Settings ->Add Attributes to Search Structure and added my custom attribute there.
3. Then I found out that it's not enough and I should perform additional steps not included in note and help. I did these steps suggested by Shanthala Kudva in thread [Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI|Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI;.
After that I was able to configure UI and see the search criteria, but when I try to search using custom field I get error message: "Search criteria PRODUCT_ANKER.ZCAT_NUMBER in scenario CL_CRM_PRSEARCHSCENARIO_GETLST not included in tool/filter"
How to find out the reason of this behavior? Did I miss something in configuration?
P.S. Set type called ZPRODUCT, attribute ZCATNUMBER. In structures appended component called ZCAT_NUMBER with component type ZCATNUMBER. In table CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR the record has the attributename ZCAT_NUMBER, attribute_id ZCATNUMBER. Maybe I messed up with that?
Regards,
Alex.

Hi Alexander,
I know this is an old post, but currently i am facing the same issue of not being able to see my custom fields in the BSP Component Workbench.
I tried to follow all steps maintained in SAP Note # 10269656 & 1541480, but no luck.
Can you please tell me what do you mean by "Should not add the extended attributes directly to Search Structure, as SAP expects the attributes to be in APPEND structure"? Can you please let me know how the values are to be maintained in the Search structure table "CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR", which is also accessed using the IMG Meanu path "Master Data --> Products --> Basic Settings --> Add Attributes to Search Structure"
Appreciate your help.

Replicating Custom Fields for Products in CRM from ECC

Hi All,
I am having difficulty in replicating SAP standard field values from ECC to custom fields for products in CRM. This is what i did:
1. I created a new settype(ZMASTER_INFO) with a single attribute(ZIND_STD) and added
    this new settype to MAT_HAWA. (As all our materials fall under this material type).
2. I am looking to map SAP standard field from ECC to this custom field of mine.
    I wrote the code in CRM BADI
    'ZPRODUCT_CUSTOMER2->MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL' with the following code:
DATA: ls_ZMASTER_INFO TYPE ZMASTER_INFO_maintain.
DATA: ls_category_bdoc       TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL_MAINTAIN,
      ls_category            TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL,
      lt_categories          TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL_TAB,
      ls_settype             TYPE COMT_settype_ext,
      ls_cat_settype_rel     TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL,
      lt_cat_settype_rel     TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL_TAB,
      lt_cat_settype_rel_all TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL_TAB.
LOOP AT lt_cat_settype_rel_all INTO ls_cat_settype_rel.
      CALL FUNCTION 'COM_SETTYPE_READ_SINGLE'
        EXPORTING
          IV_SETTYPE_GUID         = ls_cat_settype_rel-frgtype_guid
        IMPORTING
          ES_SETTYPE              = ls_settype
       EXCEPTIONS
         NOT_FOUND               = 1
         NO_IMPORT_VALUES        = 2
         NO_TEXT_FOUND           = 3 .
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      ENDIF.
CASE ls_settype-frgtype_id.
      WHEN 'ZMASTER_INFO'.
      ls_ZMASTER_INFO-relation-owner = 'X'.
      ls_ZMASTER_INFO-relation-logsys = cs_product_bdoc-header-com_product-logsys.
      ls_ZMASTER_INFO-data-ZZ0010 = is_mara-STD_DESCR.
      ls_ZMASTER_INFO-DATA_X-ZZ0010 = 'X'.
      APPEND ls_ZMASTER_INFO TO cs_product_bdoc-data-ZMASTER_INFO.
      APPEND ls_settype-FRGTYPE_GUID TO cs_product_bdoc-data-MNT_SETTYPE.
   ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
Since in ECC i am not having any custom fields i did not write any code in ECC for TPS34 and TBE24. I just wrote this BADI in CRM and using the field S_MARA-STD_DESCR.
I am not sure if i need to write the code in ECC. COUld anyone please confirm if i need the code in ECC?
Also in the CRM BADI, lt_cat_settype_rel_all is EMPTY. Not sure how this gets its value.
Could anyone please suggest if i am missing anything here? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Karuna.

Hi Karuna,
One more solution is to change the BDoc data content before it hit the Database.
this can be done in badi: Data_Exchange_badi (if u dont find this try with following search string: xchange)
In the above mention badi you will find a method which is used to populated the contend jst after bdoc in CRM is being populated by R/3 data.

How to change set type attribute of a product

Hi ;
I created additional fields for products by using "COMM_ATTRSET". It created a table and functions but I dont know how to change this additional attributes.I cant use these attribute set functions because i dont know fragment_id yet. I think there must be a function encapsulates them.
Is there any BAPI to change set type attributes?
PS: In forums , I found an FM "COM_PRODUCT_MAINTAIN_MULT_API" but I think it hasnt been used anymore in CRM7.0
Thanks

Thanks for your reply ;
but FM 'COM_PRODUCT_UI_MAINTAIN' doesnt have any generic import parameters to send my data to it in form of newly created attribute set type table "ZPRODUCT".
I want to set some fields of ZPRODUCT and i need to send them in this structure, this table has column FRG_ID , if you set an additional parameter for the first time , it generates new GUID..I think 'COM_PRODUCT_UI_MAINTAIN' generates this GUID but i dont know how to use it.
Can you give an example about using this FM?

Reflection: attributes from the base class

Is there a way to get the attributes from the base class of a derived class via reflection? I only found methods to get the attributes from the derived class.
Example:
class A
int a = 4;
class B extends A
int b = 5;
Object unknown = new B();
Code/Idea to get all attributes from baseclass A using unknown (here: a=4)?

Thank you all for your hints. The mistake I make, was to use the baseclass, and not the derived class for getting the attributes. By using an extra parameter of type class I got all attributes in their context.
   private StringBuffer getDump(Object obj, Class cl)
         dmp.append(cl.getName() + " {\n");
         Field[] attribute = cl.getDeclaredFields();             <--- only the fields of the current class
         for (int j = 0; j < attribute.length; j++)
            attribute[j].setAccessible(true);
            try
               if (attribute[j].getType().isPrimitive() || attribute[j].getType() == String.class)
                  dmp.append(attribute[j].getName() + "=" + attribute[j].get(obj) + "\n");
               else
                  if (((attribute[j].getModifiers() & Modifier.STATIC) != Modifier.STATIC) &&
                      (attribute[j].getType().getName().startsWith("java.lang") == false) &&
                      ((attribute[j].getModifiers() & Modifier.FINAL) != Modifier.FINAL))
                     dmp.append(getDump(attribute[j].get(obj), attribute[j].get(obj).getClass())); <- recursive call
            catch (IllegalAccessException ex)
               ex.printStackTrace();
         dmp.append("}");
      return dmp;
   }

Adding custom field to product master general tab

Hi All,
i want to add a custom field in Product master creation (commpr01) ,could any one help me out on this !
Many thanks and Regards.

Hi
You can create field using EEWB or follow the following simple process
1. Create the required field as " attribute" using the tcode COMM_ATTRSET
2. Assign it to a set type using the same tcode COMM_ATTRSET
3. Assign this set type to the product category usign the tcode COMM_HIERARCHY in the set type tab and use the view ID as "BASIC"
The field will then be available to you in the product master to the products with are created with the named product category
Hope this helps

Field symbols inside class

Is it possible to declare field symbols inside classes?
Thanks in advance.

Moderator message: please search for information and try yourself before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Dec 23, 2010 10:55 AM

Hi Hemalatha,
We can use Field Symbols in classes.
local field_symbols within methods are allowed.
you can only use field-symbols within method (locally), not as direct class attribute (globally).
U can check with this sample code.
Sample code is given below:
CLASS c1 DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
METHODS m1 IMPORTING oref TYPE REF TO object attr TYPE string.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS c1 IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD m1.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <attr> TYPE ANY.
ASSIGN oref->(attr) TO <attr>.
WRITE <attr> ...
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
I hope u got this .....

Map Profit Center as custom field to product

Hi,
We want to map Profit Center(35 characters) to a custom field in product for some analysis. We want to map it to Custom Attribute 2 (XARLPROA2) this is a 40 character long field.
We do not want to see this field in Reports in UI. Please let us know is this the right approach or would you suggest some other field to which wecan map Profit Center.
Regards
Neel

Hi Neel
I am assuming that you are referring to display attribute and not navigation attribute that needs to be added to product. Yes, thats the same as adding an attribute in standard BW way.
And then, in the SPM UI you can display attributes in the contextual menu of a particular product.
But if you do need to do analysis on it then on top of adding the attribute, you need to flag it as navigation and then bring it in the following:
The respective cube(s) 0ASA_C*
Add it into the multiprovider 0ASA_MP01
Add it to the Query
Log into SPM UI and refresh all data sources (make sure that no other users are logged in at that time), log out
Clear browser cache and log back in
Create report with that nav att
Hope that helps!

Individual req reduction field in req class ?

Hi Gurus,
can anybody please explain the use of Individual req reduction Field in requirement class, i am not able to understand it even after doing some excercises.
Thanks&Regards,
Venkat.

Dear Prasanna,
While transferring the PIRs from R/3 to APO it is not mandatory to select the option of 'Req reduction' in CFM1.
The use of this indicator is to control the selection of product-location cobinations for which the Requirement Reduction should take place.
That is if you do not select this indicator, the requirement reduction would be transferred for all material-location combinations for which an active integration model exists.
If you set this indicator, you can create separate integration models for Requirement Reduction and in the filter criteria specify the materials and locations for which you desire the requirements reduction to be transferred.
Thus it is not mandatory to check the option 'Req. Reduction' for successful transfer of PIRs.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

SCMLearner

Attributes of the product

what does it mean product attributes, field attributes? generally what are the product attributes and field attributes.

Product attributes
By defining product attributes, you take customer preferences for product substitution into account. For example, you may have customers who refuse products produced abroad, or products that contain a coupon. When you define product attributes, the system checks them in product selection, ignoring any material with a product attribute that the customer has explicitly rejected.
You could define product attributes in material master or customer master.
Field attributes
When you press F4 button on a field you get a dialog box. The dialog box has fields and each field has a yellow arrow Icon.
By using the Yellow arrow icon button, you can specify field attributes for source and target fields.
For each source field, you can make a setting allowing it to contain initial values. This allows the system to perform derivation even if the source field does not contain a characteristic value.
For each target field, you can specify whether the step should overwrite the existing characteristic value. This guarantees that the value determined in this step will always be copied to the target field, even if that field already contains another value.

Mass update of a custom field at Product Revenue level

We are trying to update a custom field at Product Revenue level using the Opportunity Web Service. The webservice call is timing out as we have thousands of Opportunities.
I would appreciate if anybody gives input on how we can massively update a custom field using Opportunity Web Service.

Is there a way to mass update a custom field at Product Revenue level other than using a web service.

If you are not very much obsessed with Webservices, the other workaround is the Data Loader Tool. It was discussed earlier in this forum.
