Show Material Group Long Description in SRM Product Category ?

Hi,
We have entered Short and Long Decriptions for Material Groups in R/3 and we have run the replication too. We want to show the Long Description of the Product Category to the users on the web screens.
We know there is a setting in SRM to do this but we don't know what it is.
Please let me know if any one has idea.
Thanks

Hi Venkatesh,
You can only transfer one of the two descriptions, if you want Long desc, go to
SM30
COMC_HIERARCHY
NEW ENTRIES
SELECT TRANSFER 60 CHAR DESC.
Thanks

  • Material group long description

    In the item overview section of a PO we're only able to see the short description of a material group when a search is done. However, when we go to the item detail section of the PO and do a search on the material group field there, we get both the short and long description. Is there a way to get both the long and short descriptions when you do a search on any material group field?

    Hi Eric;
    I'm in version ECC 7 - and both the short/long description are available at the item search by material group in the PO.  What version are you on?  Have you looked through SAP Notes (p.k.a. OSS Notes) for the patch that may resolve this issue? 
    Good luck!

  • Material group GUID - related to SRM-CCM

    Hi,
    This is related to CCM.
    Can you please tell me, If the material group description is changed the Guid related to the same material group is changed or not?
    If the GUID is changed with respect to change in material group. Then where can i get the relation of guid to material group
    Thanks

    Hi
    Check table crmd_link
    where we have GUID_HI and GUID_SET
    here there is a relationshhip maintained for header and item level guid link .
    GUId are created when we upload the material groups an material numbers if there is a change in  description of the material number or material group the guiod does not get changed as it an unique id based on the material group number which is a primary key
    Description in general are never a primary key .
    either in back end system or in SRM system.

  • SRM product category replication issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to replicate the product category from ECC to SRM
    I have run the R3AS, but no success,
    In SRM SMQ2 no entry created
    In ECC SMQ1 no entry created
    In R3AM1 "DNL_CUST_PROD1" is running status, not changing to green
    I also found that
    In R3AM1 DNL_CUST_BASIS3 also running and both the status is block
    Please help to resolve status.
    Thx
    Jai

    Hello Roy,
    Kindly follow the below steps to resolve the issue here.
    1) Maintain the table TBLSYSDEST in both SRM and ERP system with regards to the logical system and Technical and Dialog rfc's.
    Also assign the MW_admin in the rfc user.Register the queues with * smqr.
    2) Follow the sap note 720819 and maintain all the 5 tables correctly.
    3) Before you start the download, you must use transaction SE38 to execute the report BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW in the EBP system. In the 'User' field, enter the consumer name that you selected (for example, "SRM").
    Select the radio button depending on whether service products should be active or not. The report starts with the default settings in test mode.
    4) Ensure that the table CRMATAB in ERP system holds the entries after the step 1. IF it is blank then follow the sap note 1498111 and run the report SMOF_FILL_CRMATAB in SRM.
    5) Also check for the R3-Guid in the tables CRMMLSGUID (SRM system) and CRMPRLS (ERP system ). Both should be identical with the logical system.
    Kindly abort and load the object again, it should work fine.
    Also to replicate the new material groups, you need to trigger the delta load.
    Best Regards,

  • SRM Product Category replication

    Hi,
    I have a problem while replicating the product category from SRM 5.0 to R/4 4.7 system. When I run the load the entry is stuck in the queue and the error message says:
    The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
    I have reset the status of the queue and tried to execute it again and it gives me the error as "Function module does not exist or Exception raised".
    I have checked St22 and SM21 for any system logs, but could not find any.
    Can any one please let me know what could be the possible problem.

  • SRM product category contract using MDM retrurns contract with item 0

    We are using SRM 5 with MDM catalog 7.1 using Ext classic scenario.
    We've created more than 1 SRM contract for the same product category in SRM, eg. 2 contracts both for prod category STATIONERY with 2 different vendors (eg. vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1 and vendor 2456 contract 44000999 item 1). In the MDM catalog we reference 1 of these contracts/items, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1.
    When we select this item from MDM catalog it pulls in the vendor and the contract number,  eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330, but the contract item is shown as item 0 (contract 44000330 / 0).
    If however, we have only one contract for a product category, eg. TRAINING and we enter this contract/item in MDM, when we select that item from the catalog it copies the vendor and the contract along with the correct contract item number, eg. contract 44000661 / 1.
    Any ideas why it is doing this? Cannot find any SAP notes or other postings on SDN with this problem.
    Thanks
    Neil

    Thanks.
    The issue is when we have more than one contract for the same product category. Both or only one of those contracts might be assigned to items in the MDM catalog. The catalog has the correct contract, AND the correct item number against the catalog item.eg. contract 123456 / item 1
    If there is only one contract then there is no problem and the correct contract AND item number is copied back into the shopping cart, eg. 123456 / 1. Only when there is more than one contract for the product category does MDM pass back contract item 0  eg. 123456 / 0
    We're not loading via XI. We're loading from a spreadsheet.
    Any more ideas?
    Thanks

  • SRM Product Category's Logical System

    i found in comm_hierarchy and i felt weird for our product categories data.
    in comm_category, our category_id is R3MATCLASSXXX (XXX = Dev system), but logsys field is Prod system. how can this be done? i thought the category_id and logsys should be the same?
    thanks.

    Hi Glen,
    The ID is autogenerated by system depending on the source system defined in middleware setting.
    This should not happen unless somebody does system copy or change material master replication settings from dev to prod. If none of these cases are applicale to you, I will suggest you to raise an OSS.

  • Multiple Local Product Categories for One ECC Material Group

    Hello experts,
    I have a question regarding Product Categories. I am using an Extended Classic Scenario and so, I retrieve Material Groups from the backend. Nevertheless, in order to have a more accurate split than ECC Material Groups in SRM, I would like to create local Product Categories which point on the same ECC Material Group. Eg. : 
    ECC Material Group
      - SRM Product Category 1
      - SRM Product Category 2
    I saw that I can create this kind of structure in COMM_HIERARCHY and I updated it in the PPOMA_BBP (I set * for backend and for SRM).
    Nevertheless, when I create a SC, I can not find the local Product Categories I created?
    Do you know how I could process?
    Thanks for your help
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick,
    Looks like you got confused in understanding the concept.
    You can not create a Local product category (material group) from a back end product category.
    You can have both backend R/3 material groups and local product categoris (material groups) parallelly.
    That means in COMM_HIERARCHY for R3MATCLASS hierarchy you have two nodes created under that, one for backend material groups and the other for local material groups.
    In stand alone scenario or de-coupled scenario you can use local product categories and not in Extended classic and Classic scenarios.
    For accessing a local product category you should have a local P.Org, local P.Group and the users should be assigned to these local P.Orgs or P.groups.
    If you have such a setting in your org. structure then you can create S.Cs for local Product categories and local materials.
    Hope this makes you more clear in understanding the issue.
    Clarifications are welcome.

  • Getting Error : Material groups remove duplicates

    Hi,
         User created a Shopping cart,The approval mail did not go to the intended recepient.When i looked into tcode SWI6  the approval is struck with the error "Material groups remove duplicates". The product category against which the shopping cart is raised exists in tcode  comm_ Hierarchy.
    Pls suggest.
    Thanks
    Rakesh.

    I think the mappings and all would be correct. Here is what Kevin meant:
    - Let's assume the AD user account is a part of GroupA, GroupB and GroupC
    - Now on Change Organization completion if you invoke Remove user from Group then the adapter/process task has no way to know that which 3 of those groups has to be removed (or all 3 for your case)
    - Alternatively if you use API's to remove the group then this task would be invoked by the original OIM process/triggers and so the actual value would be known to adapter/process task.

  • R3AS Load Objects - Changing Material Group Descriptions

    Hello,
    We use SAP ECC6 and SRM 5.
    We currently have some R/3 Material Groups descriptions that need changing in our ERP system.
    I am concerned with doing this as it appears that the material groups are replicated in SRM in the COMM_HEIRARCHY, albeit that they are not actually used in SRM.
    The issue I have, is when using R3AS to load the material groups, which load object should I use to just amend descriptions?
    It states in our documentation:
    DNL_CUST_BASIS3 - BASIS CRM Online. We use this for the initital load, i.e. a new build
    DNL_CUST_PROD1 - Product: Categories. We used this one for new product categories
    DNL_CUST_PROD0 - Material Number Coversions. I don't know what this is used for
    MATERIAL is for R/3 Material Master. I don't know what this is for
    Can someone please advise which load object would be relevant to use, and also clarify what DNL_CUST_PROD0 and MATERIAL is used for.
    Many Thanks
    Lisa Pallas

    Hello Lisa,
    Customizing object DNL_CUST_BASIS3: for data as Units of Measurement, currency, etc.
    Customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD1: to replicate R/3 product categories
    Customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD0: linked to customizing ( IMG: SAP Implementation Guide > SAP Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Master Data > Products > Define Output Format and Storage Format of Product IDs
    Business object MATERIAL: to replicate R/3 materials
    According to your need, you have only to reload customizing object DNL_CUST_PROD1.
    Regards.

  • Vendor and Material group

    Hi Experts
    How do we transfer the Vendor and material groups from ECC to SRM
    Regards

    Hi SAP MAN,
    We do replicate vendors from backend system to SRM via transaction code BBP_GETVD, and products are replicated through middle ware settings.
    These middleware settings are maintained in both ECC and SRM systems.

  • Assignment of Vendor and Material group

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to assign vendors/material groups to standard industry classifications.
    We need to have vendors attached to these new industry groups and further to attach specific material groups and G/L's to these vendors- in that once a material group is selected (in SRM ordering), only the assigned vendors / GL groups will be allowed for selection.
    Please let me know if this is possible in SRM 5.0 (by standard or Non standard).
    regards

    I believe there is a place in maintain supplier data
    one field called product category check it up. i believe vendor data tab.
    since for eg in ros , you registered vendor  in srm via whta product category you can suplly to the organisation.
    but no one is using extensively. some customers are using this field for spend analysis report for each vendor what is the spend on thi s particular product category.
    which suppliesrs can provide product category
    product category are customer specific. fr eg go to dun and brad sheet web page . here you may get a list which supplier can provide what PRODUCT CATEGORY

  • Link between material and material groups

    hi all,
    I have reploicated material groups and materials in SRM.How do i link these naterial group and materials?

    Deepa,
      When you replicate material from ECC, data from multiple tables in backend is extracted and sent to SRM in BDOC. One of the tables is MARA and it has material group information.
      Check COMMPR01 transaction in SRM and pull up a material you replicated. It should show there the material group.
