  • Product category mandatory in the shopping cart ?

    Hi everybody,
    We are studying shopping carts functionalities in SRM in activating ECS.
    We are not using articles, but only product categories. We would like to know if the product category is necessary mandatory in the shopping cart? Indeed, if the shopping cart is related to a simple customer need, the information of the product category is not always known by the requester. He would fill only the description of the request.
    Thank you for your help,
    Vin

    Vinna,
    Product category (Material Grops) is mandatory for any shopping cart creation, However in SRM some of the basic configuration setting is based on product category only. Mainly the G/L account is mapped with product categories which is important for account validation in the shopping cart.

  • How to retrieve Parent product category based on Product name selection.

    Is it possible to retrieve Parent Product category based on the Product name of the Product.
    Our Product catalog is set up as follows
    Product:
    Product name Product category
    TA30 TA30
    TA300 TA30
    Product categories
    Category Name Parent Category
    TA30 Lawn Mower.
    I would like to retrieve the Parent category "lawn Mower" when I select the product TA30 from the product list on the custom object 9. Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Hi Akila,
    I am assuming you query runs on a cube that loads data from the source system. In that case cube will contain only valid cobminations of Product Family & Product Line.
    In order to make sure that if a cetain Product Family is chosen you want to see only the relevant Product Line as available in the cube do the following:
    Go to Query Designer Filter
    Pick Product Family > Properties> Advanced. Under the Tab Filter Value Selection during Query Execution choose 'Only Values in InfoProvider'
    Do the same setting for Product Line as well.
    Hope this helps.

    The requirement is
    System shall default the GL Account with sequence number u201801u2019 when there are multiple GL Accounts mapped to a Product Category and the  mapping table needs to have u2018Sequence numberu2019 added to ensure that in case of u2018Many-to-Oneu2019 the default proposed GL Account can be selected.

  • Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category - Table handling

    Dear Experts,
    in SRM 7.0, CS, i am facing the following requirement regarding tax codes:
    We have users from different countries using SRM. These different countries have different tax codes that are to be used for legal reasons.
    My question is, how i can achieve a system behaviour, by which in the shopping cart, the correct tax codes gets selected automatically, based on the country of the user, who is creating the shopping cart.
    Question 1:
    Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
    Q2:
    What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
    Q3:
    Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
    Q4:
    From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
    Thank you very much for your help in understanding the topic.

    Hi
    Here are my responses to your questions:
    Question 1:
    Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
    Answer -  If you have a requirement where different countries have different tax codes, then you do need this confiugration. Otherwise Configuraiton in Enter Tax Code  are sufficient.
    Q2:
    What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
    Answer - Sometimes you have different codes for International and Domestic purchases for a product Category. IN those situations you can select Domestic/International field to differentiate btw tax codes. Otherwise this field can be left blank
    Q3:
    Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
    Answer - No, if you enter country, then Category Id field is mandatory. You may enter * in case you dont have multiple backend systems. otherwise you will ve to ve individual entries for each category and backend system.
    Q4:
    From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
    Answer - It is picked up from the address of the user where is will receive goods. and Domestic/International will be decided based on Vendor address with reference to thta address.
    I hope my responses clarify your doubts.

  • ShoppingCart: product category

    Hi to all,
    i have to make two questions about Shopping Carts.
    I'm working with Extended Classic Scenario, SRM 5.0, SP9 release.
    1)I've created a SH with 5 positions, all coming from same catalog, same product category. In customizing, product category is setted "sourcing never carry out". So after approval step, SH and positions are automatically transformed not into a PO(as i was expected) but into 3 POs (i can't understand why!!!). Does anyone know the reasons?
    2)I have to recover many SH positions approved but not transformed in a PO causing a IPsec's crash. How can i force them in order to create missing POs?
    Thanks in advance,
    Christian

    Hi,
    If You don't assign vendor to SC, 3 PO (one PO on one item in SC) will be created.
    Please check in SPRO -> SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Settings -> Define objects in Backend System
    Find Your Purchasing group and category ID. Check value entered in Ext. proc. Value should be 'Purchase order if item data complete'.
    You also check in SPRO -> SRM -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend System for Product Category if You have a category ID and corresponding systems (source and target) attached to it.

  • How to findout for which product category extended classic is activated?

    Dear experts,
    How to find out for which product category extended classic is activated? I am working in a test system. In spro settings, Cross aplication basic settings -> activate extended classic is unticked.
    I see, the system allows me to create a Extended classic PO against a product category 001.
    The product category has same ECC backend  system as target and source system.
    Is there any BADI implementation?
    regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi
    ECS - flag activated - means Extended classic scenario.
    target determine badi - helps to create a PO in desired place.
    source system and tatget system logical entry sjhown means
    PRODUCT CATEGORY - created in Backend system and follow on docuemnts also created in ECC system - so it could be Classic .
    as jay said determine log system badi used for DECOUPLE scenario ( Classic as well as ECS) .
    some times unless we study the system in depth, hart to findout what is exact techniacl scenario.
    or you can find out what type of POs are in BBP_PD for all PO means ECS.
    This SRM tools can be used for many purposes.
    some customers uses for Supplier registration only,
    some one is using for only Bid invitation and Bid and selecting the vendor only
    some one use for all non stock procurment only.
    some one use for only free text - ....
    taste vary in all business.
    you must give more details like what are the Business docuement s are created in SRM

  • How to find a subtype from product category

    Hi,

    Please help me out in this.
    Regards,

    Hi Vishnu,
    I donot think there is any relationship between subtype and Product Categories.
    You can note down different subtype available in SRM system.

  • Product Category Description 2 in SRM missing

    Hello,
    we have the issue, that the Product Category Description 2 is needed in the SRM System. The replication from ERP just giving  Product Category Description 1. We are running SRM 7.0 and habe ECC 6.0 (EHP4) as Backend.
    What would be the best way to solve this?
    1. Enhance the master data replication and
    2. Enhance the dataobject Product Category in SRM with the field wgbez60 to store the data
    How can an enhancement to the replication be done? Is there a BADI as for vendors available?
    How the middleware program need to be changed?
    Thanks for your reply

    Edited by: trevor_987 on Dec 2, 2010 12:12 PM

    Hi. In that case....
    Go to BBPSC01 in the GUI, get the search help name from the category field.
    Go to SE11 and change the search help to add a new field and put in a search help exit just like any other search help.
    This way you can use the search help exit to read both descriptions from the backend and populate the search results.
    This will allow users to see both descriptions when searching.
    After they choose a category they will only see 1 description in the cart though.
    You could implement a custom field and use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate the second description. It will be shown in a different section on the cart though.
    Alternatively you could look at changing the templates, that would be quite tricky for something this complex though.

  • Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

    Hello Experts,
    I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
    Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
    *Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
    *Message no. SV141*
    *Diagnosis*
    *For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
    *1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
    *2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
    *all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
    *System Response*
    *The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
    My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
    Kindly help me.
    Thanking you
    Regards
    Sharan

    I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
    Define Backend System for Product Category
    I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
    I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

  • Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

    Hello,
    We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
    WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
    At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
    category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
    PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
    Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
    purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
    add a vendor.
    How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?

  • SRM7.0 Multiple  G/L account assignment for a product category

    Hi All,
    In SRM7.0 , it is possible to maintain multiple G/L accounts for a prodict category and account assignment combination. For example , for a product Category XX and account assignment CC , we can maintain more than one G/L account with one G/L as default. While creating the Shopping Cart , the G/L account is defaulted. However when we do F4 search on the G/L , then system is bringing all the G/L accounts from the backend through the search help from ECC. In that case what is the use of maintaining multiple G/L accounts in the SRM configuration? Is there any other config that is reqd? We thought system would restrict to those G/L account that are maintained in the config.
    Thanks

  • How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen

    Dear ,my expert :
       I  work in ROS scenario . In my case ,the supplier can select Product Category A, Product Category B,and Product Category C when they  filled the data in the  registration scren . And the purchaser A just is responsibility for the Product Category A ,and the purchaser B ,C are the same situation .
      So ,my question is :
       1,How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen? I mean that the Purchaser A can just select the   Product Category A in the Pre-select screen .
       2,You know the supplier select two category  is one BP in the system ,So if the purchaser A accepe the supplier ,the purchaser B will find the status is "accepted ",So the purchaser B will be confused about it .
       SO ,in my case ,any one has the suggestions ,any link welcome .
       Bestregards
      alex

    Hi Alex,
    As per standard SRM solution, this is not supported. Purchasers who accept new suppliers, accept them on the whole and not for any specific product category. There is no such thing as Purchaser being responsible for specific prod category in ROS.
    What you could do however is to build a custom workflow to achieve it. You could have category approvers after the purchaser has accepted the supplier. Based on the category provided by the supplier in the reg form, you could route these suppliers to appropriate category approvers.
