Description from punch out catalog changing

Hi,
We having classic scenario with GOA on SRM server 5.5 and CCM 2.0.
We are facing problem while creating shopping cart using punch out catalog of our vendor.
We have found that description coming from punch out catalog is getting changed once we select plant or storage location on basic data tab. This description of material is getting replaced by descrition of material maintained on basic data tab in ERP.
This is happening for only two vendors. Can anyone throw some light on this? What could be possible reasons? What should be checked to ensure that everything is fine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umesh

Hi,
Can you provide us exact code and text? I'm not clear your issue.
Catalog side:
- material master number (This should be blank)
- supplier parts number
- item description
Shopping Cart side after OCI transfer:
- material master number
- supplier parts number
- item description
Shopping Cart side after Plant, Location change:
- material master number
- supplier parts number
- item description
Material Master, Product Master:
- material master number
- item description

Validating Product Category on SC Trasfer from punch-out catalog

Hi,
We have a requirement to validate Product Category of the shopping cart items transferred from punch-out catalog items. This requirement will allow us to put controls on vendors from publishing items that are not approved for their product category codes.
One way to achieve this is by adding validations in BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER and maintaining valid vendor product categories in a custom table.
I tried to use the Extended Attributes in Org plan of Vendor. I tried testing with that in sandbox and did not seem to work.
Another option I can think of is to add attributes for ProductCategoryCode on Org plan of vendor and validate in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER instead of using custom tables.
Please let me the best way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Suren

Hi
We have done this long time back...
By using the combination of BADIs -
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and
BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI, this csn be done..
Read the relevant SAP documentation of these BADIs using SE18 Transaction, which will definitely help in coding the logic as per the business requirements..

Incorrect value of OCI Parameter NEW_ITEM-VENDOR from punch out catalog

Dear Experts,
We have defined an external punchout catalog under IMG activity Define External Web Services.
Under the Source of Supply Assigned to Product Catalog we maintained business partner of a particluar vendor but when I check the data received from punchout session in class /SAPSRM/IF_PDO_BO_SC method ADD_ITEMS_FROM_CATALOG or in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER_BADI the value for NEW_ITEM-VENDOR is something different from what I defined.
What could be the reason for this?
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hi Jason,
I debugged the FMs you mentioned and found that the data recieved from punch out session takes the lead i.e. maintaining the Business Partner number in config is effective only if the NEW_ITEM-VENDOR form field is initial else the vendor mentioned in this field is taken into account and config business partner entry is ignored.
This can be changed in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI by changing the ET_PARTNER for vendor.
Thank you for the valuable input,
Anubhav

Dropping first product from vendor punch-out catalog

Hi,
We are having classic scenario implemented with GOA on SRM server 5.5 and support pack 9 with CCM2.0.
Currently we are facing an issue for one vendor punch-out catalog. When we are choosing multiple products from vendor catalog,it is dropping first product and bringing remaining products in the shopping cart. We have checked OCI mapping , it looks fine . I have also checked all configuration for catalog call structure. Can anyone answer what could probable reason for this issue?
Thanks in advance.

How to connect from SRM system to Punch out Catalog

Hi all,
I would like to know connecting from SRM system to Punch out Catalog , do we require XI inbetween??
Regards
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
There is an XML variant of the OCI interface as described in the OCI documentation attached. Using this you can use XML documents instead of plain HTTP for the OCI transfer. No specific configuration is required as a transformation agent is contained within the FUNCTION bbp_ws_mapoci_to_sc
map xml to oci structure
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_WS_DISPATCH_XML_MAPPING'
      EXPORTING
        iv_xml_type       = iv_xml_type
        iv_xml_document   = iv_xml_document
      TABLES
        et_oci_items      = et_oci_item_data
        et_longtext       = et_oci_longtext
      EXCEPTIONS
        xml_mapping_error = 1
        OTHERS            = 2.
In this xml mapping function we use a CALL TRANSFORMATION to perform the XML -> OCI mapping:
Transfrom OCI XML data via XSLT to RFC structures
    TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION bbp_oci_xml_to_rfc
          SOURCE XML IV_XML_DOCUMENT
          RESULT sc_items = lt_sc_items.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO lr_exception.
     CATCH cx_xslt_runtime_error.
        RAISE xslt_failure.
    ENDTRY.
ENDIF.
Put mapped data into export strutures
LOOP AT lt_sc_items INTO wa_sc_item.
    IF NOT wa_sc_item IS INITIAL.
Hopefully this clarifies the possibility of using the XML variant of the OCI.
Regards,
Jason

OCI mapping for External Punch Out Catalog - SRM

Dear SRM Gurus,
We are using SRM 7.0 Classic scenario.
We have a scenario to External punch out catalog. I am aware of Web service call structure, UI config and BADIs.
But I am very much confused that how exactly the External Catalog data will be mapped to SRM? Where would be the inbound OCI mapping done for External Punch out catalog.
Kindly share your knowledge.
Thanks.
Regarsd, Magesh.

Magesh,
The OCI field mapping is done as specified in OCI 4.0 specification. If you like technical details on exactly where the mapping happens, you can search for FM OCI. Also, the CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI can be used to read the data that has been mapped and change if needed.

Product category in srm should over write the punch-out catalog category

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement to overwrite the product category which is coming from the punch-out catalog with the SRM product category.
Exactly saying i am looking for a mapping program.
Because the product category schema in Punch-out Catalog is different from the product category schema in SRM.
Is there any BADI that is available to help and Can anybody has the experience in doing so....??
with regards,
mahesh

Hi Pierre,
Actucally i am using NIGP as the Schema, Can you explain me how we can do with more details how to configure the settings to map the exteranal product category with the internal product category and with out going to BADI.
IMG> SRM> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content management --> Mapping for schema.
You set your schema for product category (UNSPSC, ..) and then define the mapping for a schema .
Thanks for your response,
Mahesh

Punch out catalog displays Error screen when template SC is used using item

Hi,
We use a punch out catalogs for certain vendors.
For reordering same types of material our users have created template shopping carts for punch out catalog items. When users are trying to create SC from those template SCs the screen ends up in error in the vendor's catalog screen.
There are no data related issues involved here. The same material can be ordered from catalogs without using template SCs.
Is there any configs to be done in SRM side to make it work or the vendor catalog site has to make certain settings at their end ?
Please advise.
BR,
Sambit

Hi,
OCI has following functions.
+ OCI normal transfer - transfer items after user search
+ OCI validation - transfer items in background when catalog items are copied from SC
+ OCI detail - display the specific item detail in catalog when detail icon is selected in SC
+ OCI cross catalog search - background item search
Please check OCI specification.

Punch Out Catalogs - General Information

Hi
One of our clinets is implementing SRM with punch out catalogs. I have not done punch out catalogs before. We are asked to let the vendor know what they need to do in order to integrate with SRM for punch out catalogs. Apparently, the vendor has never integrated with SRM before. The client is on SRM 4.0. I understand the config settings that we need to do in SRM to bring up the punch out catalog.
My questions is what steps does the vendor need to do to be able to integrate witrh SRM? We need to send them the detailed steps that they need to do before integrating the catalogs (fyi., they do have a website for ordering materials but it is not client specific).
I understand it is a very basic question but any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
VJ

Hi Vinay,
There are many discussions on this subject. you can search them in SRM shopping cart
The catalog vendor would need to be OCI compliant.
SRM server- > master data-> Define external web services .define catalog name
You must give outbound parameters for the vendor catalog to access(url/user id /password) in the call structure from ebp.
As well as this catalog definitions must be defined in CAT attribute in PPOMA_BBP.

Muthu

Create contract based on punch-out catalog

Dear Experts,
My client wants to create a contract per vendor hosted (punch-out) catalog. Is this posible for this type of catalog?
What is best practice to:
1) Control spend on punch out catalog (besides the SHC approval)?
2) Control that the supplier does not increase the price on the items
Thanks

Hi,
Purchaser can call catalog from contract transaction and create a contract with supplier parts number.
Is this the function you are looking for ?

Product Category mapping from Punch-out to Shopping Carts

Hi,
We are implementing Punch-Out catalogs. We are on SRM_SERVER 550 and SP 11.
Product Category brought from field 'MATGROUP' field of structure 'CATALOG_CONTENT' in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER is picked up and wrote our own logic for mapping it with the available UNSPSC codes either at Family level or Segment level. The nearest available UNSPSC code is picked up and passed to output structures ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA and ET_SC_ITEM_DATA in the field 'CATEGORY_ID'.
This is tested by putting external debugging points and found to be working fine.
However when transferring data to Shopping carts, the default Product Category for User ID is shown up instead of the one from output of BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
Please let me know if i am doing correct or any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat

even we had the same issue -->
please note that category in SRM system has both category id and also category guid
so , you need to retrieve --> the guid of the category using the FM
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_CATEGORY_GET_GUID'
        EXPORTING
          category_id   = category_id
        IMPORTING
          category_guid = iv_comm_cat
        EXCEPTIONS
          NOTHING_FOUND = 1
          OTHERS        = 2.
and then assign as shown below
wa_bbp_oci_enritem-category = iv_comm_cat.
and then modify ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA

Multiple items not getting transfered from Punch out

Hi,
I need your help in fixing an issue with punch out.
When we select more than one item in the punch out and when it is getting transferred to SRM shopping cart, we could see only one item in the shopping cart. We are facing this issue with only one punch out.
While trasnfering item(s) from this punch out, we are getting the message "Number of external bid is empty" in SLG1 log. I have checked the XML file sent by the punch out and there I could see all the items that has been selected. But once it gets transfered to SRM shopping cart, it is transfering only one item.
Not sure if this is a problem in SRM or punch out. If it is a problem in SRM then I hope it should occur with all the punch outs. But we are facing this issue with only one punch out.
I am trying to debug this process in SRM. For that I need to know the exact BADI or BAPI which is receiving the items from punch out. Could you please help me in that?
Also I would like to know, is there anything would happen after the XML file has been generated in punch out and before it has been received by OCI.
We are in SRM 4.0 with extended classic scenario.
Thanks,
Arun

Dean,
We have implemented that BADI. As I mentioned earlier, problem is occuring with only one punch out we are using. With other punch outs it is working fine. More over, when I tried to debug through this BADI I am getting a dump error:
No additional external fashion for New ABAP debugger available
What happened?
The ITS services u201Ebbpsc03" had to be interrupted because the WebAs sent the following error message.
Error message: "No additional external fashion for New ABAP debugger available". Message type: "E"
Error analysis
It became receive an error message of the WebAs. For the reason picture of the error message (program: u201ESAPMSSY3" Dynpro number: 131) no Template was found, must interrupted become the ITS services
therefore. Remove if possible the mistake cause. First if the mistake cause is removed and therewith the error message is sent by the WebAs no longer, again lauffähig is these ITS services.
Do you have any idea what the dump is?
Thanks,
Arun

Hide the punch out catalog for some purchasing groups

Hi ,
I want to hide one punch out catalog for purchasing groups . How is this possible ?
Can we do in PPOMA_BBP , but the excluded tab is in display mode .
Please help ...
Thanks in advance
Neha

Hi,
You can do this in PPOMA_BBP transaction. Excluded tab is in display mode because you may have added the catalog at Purchasing grp levels.
Insteading of adding the catalogs at purchasing grp levels add the catalogs at the Purchasing Org level.
Then all the catalogs will be inherited in below purchasing grps, there you can check exclude tab for one which you dont want in that purchasing grp.
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks

Punch Out Catalog - Microsoft error

Hi,
I am punching out to a market place. I create the cart entry and when I come back to SRM I get a Microsoft error
No UNSPSC code passed from external catalog, and no cart has been created in SRM
I have spoken to the market place supplier and they are unable to help.
Can anyone recommend what actions I need to take.
Regards
Nick J Jones

Hi
Implement the coding from note 487917 to determine first if the correct parameters are being passed from the vendor catlag or if any errors are raised during the transfer, this should be the place to start.
Regards,
Jason
