CRM 7.0 Material Search and MDM

How could MDM be used in CRM 70 , in order to have a better/quicker material search functionality ? can the same be done for ECC ( pre-requisite, having all the characteristic defined in MDM) . Any presentation on the topic will help . Thank you.

Hi Christophe
this can be done. You can call MDM web services for either doing a Free form search or even run a MDM matching strategy to find potential duplicates defined based on rules in MDM.
In one of our projects we have used Web services call from CRM ecommerce portal to MDM for doing a Customer search.
Thanks-Ravi

  • MDM Material Data and BI

    I have a customer that will be sending material data from MDM to BI.  In BI, they will be doing reporting using certain navigational attributes we've developed.  From our experience, the process of using the navigational attributes seems slow as you step through and give each one a criteria. 
    Does it makes sense to do the lookup in MDM and send a list of material numbers to BI.  I am thinking that might be faster but, he have no idea how this could be accomplished technically. Do you have any thoughts on using MDM to perform a quick search to get a list of materials and then sending the list to BI as the source for the reports.
    Thanks

    Hi Paul,

    In case of MDM and BI integration, there are several ways to perform the same.
    1. Using File transfer system - As you have mentioned that in BI we define navigational attributes and transfer the Master data in the form of a .CSV file to BI, which then can report on both the Local Id's and the Global Id's.We had done this scenario with MDM SP04 and the reporting seemed to be good at that time.
    2. With higher versions of MDM, there is a direct integration of MDM with BI using ABAP APi's. INfact the repository was created from BI in MDM server and only Data Manager is used in that case. You can go for this method as well. Plese find the link below to understand the same.

    3. Now coming to your requirement, if you want to use searches in MDM, then you can definitely do that in MDM. The records which get selected in the search creteria can be then syndicated to BI using the File transfer mechanism. This might increase up the speed as only few records will be syndicated as per the search creteria set. You can set the search in Syndicator directly.
    Hope this info helps.

  • SRM 7.0 cross catalog search transparent punch out and MDM

    Hi,
    I have problems with transparent punch out and OCI.
    We are using HTTP POST, but when we create a SC what should we recieve in SAP. I suppose we should use HTML (the vendor suppose submitted HTML), but as far as I see it, SAP expect to recieve HTMÆ, right? http://www.attsuppliers.com/downloads/OCI_40_EN20030611.pdf

    Furthermore, is it possible to do cross catalog search accross MDM and a transparent punch out catalog?
    /Jimmy

    We are having problems with Transparent Punch Out and OCI.
    We are using HTTP POST, but when we create a SC what should we receive in SAP??
    Should we receive raw HTML or submitted/posted HTML?? As far as I can see, we should receive raw HTML...or?
    Furthermore, is it possible to do cross catalog search across MDM and a Transparent Punch Out Catalog?

  • MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5

    Hi All,
    Can any body tell  what are the differences between MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5?
    Regards,
    Nikhil

    MDM 3.0
    Strengths
    • Supply chain expertise
    • Global metadata synchronization expertise &#150; especially important to Consumer Packaged
    Goods and Retail industries
    • 3rd generation hub architecture with near term 4th generation features (image/content
    management of A2i)
    Weaknesses
    • Few production references
    • Early ramp up sites included: Deutsche Telekom, Dorel/PacificCycle, ENEL, General
    Electric Consumer and Industrial, Heineken, Kingfisher Group, Nestlé, Nokia, Pemex,
    Purdue University, Rubbermaid, Shell Europe, Tesoro Petroleum, Weyerhauser,
    Whirlpool
    • Can be purchased only &#147;on approval of SAP executive management on case by case
    basis&#148;
    • Batch emphasis; on-line capability not suitable for high transaction rates in large-scale
    B2B or B2C scenarios
    • Emphasis on product/supplier capabilities rather than customer/employee
    • Lack of strong SI channel (the number of SIs promoting NetWeaver is a good channel,
    however, the subset that are catering to SAP MDM is far smaller)
    • Under invested in marketing
    • No longer supported after 2012
    MDM 5.5
    Strengths
    • Support for single view of all major objects &#150; customer, product, supplier and employee
    (albeit lightweight customer and employee)
    • Focused on interactive cleansing and distribution of Material, Supplier, Customer, and
    Employee master data within (SAP R/3-based) ERP environment; note that several large
    organizations are using it outside of a SAP ERP environment such as GE and
    Rubbermaid
    • Global metadata synchronization expertise
    • Product information management focus
    o Fully integrated electronic and print publishing
    o High performance parametric search across rich content
    • Hierarchical management
    • Integration with SAP infrastructure
    • 4th generation data hub features (image/content management of A2i)
    • English, French and German initial support; Japanese 3Q2005
    Weaknesses
    • Minimal references (Whirlpool)
    • Currently only supports &#147;master data harmonization&#148; &#150; no automated central authority for
    master data and therefore cannot enforce centralized/corporate data quality standards
    • Focused on interactive cleansing and distribution of Material, Supplier, Customer, and
    Employee master data within (SAP R/3 based) ERP environment (n.b. = Not a typo &#150; this
    is either a strength or a weakness depending upon one&#146;s requirements)
    • Batch emphasis, e.g. customer data is typically replicated in batch mode among
    participating systems; however, enterprises can propagate customer data using the same
    common architecture that is used by the product hub for replication/distribution via SAP
    NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure or directly via APIs
    • Lack of strong SI channel (the number of SIs promoting NetWeaver is a good channel,
    however, the subset that are catering to SAP MDM is far smaller)
    • Under invested in marketing (if SAP was true believer at the executive level in the
    strategic nature of enterprise master data management, then the SAP MDM product
    would be much more prevalent in the overall SAP marketing mix)
    • Emphasis on product/supplier capabilities rather than customer/employee
    Hope this will be helpful.
    Reward points if found useful.

  • What are the CRM Trasaction data Data Sources and Data load Procedure

    Hi BI Gurus,
    Does anybody provide the CRM Transaction data DataSources names and Load procedure into BI7.0
    I know the master Data load procedure from CRM to BI7.0.
    if you provide Step-by-Step documents it is more help.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat
    In order to find the transactions want you can login the CRM system and then use the transaction RSA6. There you can expand all the subtrees by left clicking on the first line and then clicking expand the further left button. After that you can easily search any datasource you may want
    Hope that helps

  • Upgrade - Installation CRM 7.0 with W2K3 and J2EE AddIn

    Hi all,
    Because of the end of maintance I have to upgrade CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0.
    During the upgrade phase Iu2019ve detected changes within the CRM System installation and architecture.
    First thing I discover was that itu2019s not possible to install CRM 7.0 with the W2K3 64bit OS.
    You have to install the system with Windows 2008 Standard 64bit Edition.
    All our SAP Systems running with W2K3 64bit OS with very good performance and that is why itu2019s our standard OS.
    The different between W2K3 and W2K8 is enormous. (Everyone who changed from WinXP to Win Vista knows what I mean.)
    Even the change of the SAP Kernel causes yet unknown problems
    But I thought so what, thatu2019s IT and upgraded the ABAP stack to 7.0
    The upgrade was fine and finished.
    After that I would like to install the missing J2EE Components and TREX.
    But the next catch Iu2019ve discovered was that it isnu2019t possible to install the J2EE Engine as an AddIn Installation into the upgraded ABAP Engine.
    Wow, thatu2019s a thing!!!!
    Our company IT strategy is System consolidating and now I should make 9 out-of 3 systems.
    (DEV-QS-PROD Landscape)
    Not to mention the administrative complexityu2026.
    Now Iu2019m searching for solutions to avoiding this problems.
    For the J2EE AddIn installation I want to try a intermediate upgrade to a former CRM Release where a AdIn Inst is possible (e.g. CRM 5.0 or something) and than upgrade to CRM 7.0
    But whatu2019s about the prescribed OS W2K8?
    As far as I know there is no SAPinst for a CRM 7.0 Upgrade/Installation under W2K3.
    Ok, for a company with a huge webshop it makes sense, but our webshop isnu2019t so big that there could be same performance problems.
    As noted before, all our SAP Systems running with a W2K3 64bit OS and we donu2019t have performance problems.
    Does anyone have an idea how I can solve my CRM 7.0 Inst/Upgrade Problems?
    Best regards
    Mario Fischer

    Hi Mario,
    We installed CRM 7.0 a couple of months back with DVD- 51035700 (Master) on a Win 2003 server.
    NW 7.01 (base for CRM 7.0) is supported on Win 2K3...but PAM does mention 2008 exclusively for CRM 7.0
    As far as the Java Add In is concerned, ABAP & JAVA stacks have been seperated in order to simplify things.
    The dual stack was difficult to administer & manage; hence, now you need to install 2 different systems & connect them via JCO.
    We had a 16 GB server for CRM 7.0, which instead of hosting one "ABAP+JAVA" system, now has 2 systems (a seperate ABAP system & a seperate JAVA one)..n so far we havn't faced any issues as such.
    In fact it's a good thing that since the 2 stacks have been seperated, the dependancy factor's been minimized.
    Thanks,
    Have a nice day,
    S

  • Why we need crm middleware for material replication?

    Hi Experts,
    Why we need CRM middleware for material replication from ECC to SRM when we can do the vendor replication from ECC to SRM with ABAP report? IS there any technical limitation?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hello,
    Vendors and locations, for example, you can replicate from ECC to SRM using ABAP reports.
    However, if you want to replicate the following information, you should use the middleware:
    - DNL-CUST-BASIS3 - Basis CRM online
    - DNL-CUST-PROD0 - Material number conversions
    - DNL-CUST-PROD1 - Product : categories
    - DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - Customizing: Service Master
    - MATERIAL - R/3 Material Master
    - SERVICE_MASTER - R/3 Service Master
    Check note 872533. It provides more information.

  • XML file getting stucked in queue in ECC preventing material status in MDM.

    XML file getting stuck in queue in ECC preventing material status in MDM to be changed.
    Hi SAP Experts,
    We have an issue regarding XML messages getting stuck in queue in ECC preventing the material status in SAP MDM to be changed from "Approved" to "Updated/Posted".
    Checking in transaction SXI_MONITOR the status of the XML Messages are Scheduled or Green Flagged, looking at the time started it has been an hour and it is not yet processed successfully; and also checking the queues XBTR* (XBTR0001, XBTR0002 and ETC.) via transaction SMQ2 have stopped.
    We need to manual process the XML messages for it to be processed successfully.
    I'm unable to understand why these files are getting stuck in Queue's.
    Many thanks in advance and have an awesome day ahead.
    Regards,
    Aeron Merc

    Hi Aeron,
    Check whether the Queue XBTR* (XBTR0001, XBTR0002 and ETC.) is Unregistered in SMQR.
    If it is so you can see as U in the Queue type.
    Try to register by selecting the queue and click on Registration button and activate.
    Then check your message in MONI,  hope this should solve your problem.
    Thanks
    Sai.

  • Differences between MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5?

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell, what are the differences between MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5?
    I heard that, there are lot and lot of changes...
    Thanks for your reply,
    regrads,
    cg

    We can look at differences in more than one way:
    1. Technology wise
    MDM5.5 is developed in C++ & runs on a C++ engine as compared to MDM 3.0 which runs under WAS
    However MDM 5.5 is integrated with NW largely, though it can & is planned to be improved further
    2. Product Catalog Management
    MDM 5.5 has rich PCM capabilities which did not exist in MDM 3.0
    3. Other additional capabilities in 5.5
    Multilingual support
    Syndication of data to XI or file system
    Lean, R/3 Idoc based model for supplier, customer, material, employee
    4. Ease of installation and usage is a also an advantage of 5.5
    You can read Nitza Levi's blog on MDM home page for more details

  • IS-Retail POSDM- double posting of  material documents and billing document

    Hello All,
    I had initially posted this question in "Industries Solution General" forum. Reposting it in the appropriate forum-
    We have a nightly job for program "RWPOS_PARA_ENQUEUE" which processes all WPUBON idocs (sales info) that comes in from POSDM. Sometimes we have noticed that for one idoc 2 material documents and 2 billing documents are being created with the same information.
    Note that this happens sporadically and we have no idea why or when it can happen. Also, we have duplicate checks in POSDM and this happens only when the idoc flows into ECC from POSDM i.e. one sales idoc posts 2 sets of documents for no apparent reason. Is there any way to prevent this? Why is this happening? Your inputs will be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Smitha

  • Search and remove subscribers manually from BC

    I am wanting to remove several subscribers from multiple email lists.
    Is this possible without having to scroll through countless pages from a variety of lists?
    We often get around a dozen people who mail in and say 'remove me from your list' as opposed to managing their account.
    In order to remove them I have to do the following.
    Choose the first email list of many
    change drop down display to 50 address
    click address column to sort into alphabetical order
    scroll through until I find the place where the email would be
    if there, delete
    if not there, assume its on a different list or they did actually unsubscribe as well as send the email to unsubscribe
    With tens of thousands of email addresses and multiple lists, this takes a long time.
    Is there a way to simply enter a search, then delete?
    The only way I could see at the moment is to export, excel search and delete then re-import. Don't really want to be doing that though.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    In Admin, go to CRM > Search and lookup the user's e-mail address. Any user subscribing to a mailing list is turned into a CRM Customer. Once you find the contact, open it and go to "Subscriptions" and untick the respective list (all subscriptions will be listed on top, under "Campaign List")
