Srm-catalog portal content

hi!
does anybody know what is the special content that SRMMDMCAT01_0.sca have?
different iViews?
if i'm implementing srm-portal-mdm-r3 it's necessary?
because i'm not using all the srm catalog, and only installed the mdm portal content, i'll have some problems?
thanx

The purpose of SRM-MDM is to use MDM as the catalog. You would store the data in MDM and SRM will then reference MDM ad-hoc. As part of the implementation, SAP delivers a webdynpro application which is deployed on a Netweaver Java stack, and that's what the user uses to search the catalog. The two applications (iViews) are called SearchUI and AdminUI. If you aren't going to use these, how are you planning on searching the catalog from SRM?

Hello amarendra,
which field are you talking about ?
The one to access to catalog?
If yes, you have to maintain Web Service value for CAT attribute.

SRM Catalog and PM BOM integration

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where client wants to use SRM catalog items (no material master) into the ECC PM BOM as a component.
Catalog items are already integrated with work order processing.
Is this advisable to do? What is required to do this?
Thanks,
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
I believe this is better asked in the ERP Forums, please raise your query there, from the perspective of SRM and Catalog, as long as the calling application supports Open catalog interface call/return, you can use catalogs in it. I uess also helpful for BOM setup would be the SRM-MDM Hierarchy structure

SRM Catalog Download

Hi all
I need to download the full SRM Catalog structure together with all details from SRM to logcal XML file.
I've checked all around here on SDN but have not comed up with a clear solution...
One of these were : http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1217084
My concern is more or less UNICODE..
So far I have tested this
- I have a deep structure with all the data about the Catalog structure <t_dyntable>
- then I try to convert this contents into UTF-8. By doing this I will get some of the special characters to show up as they should ( it think one of those were .amp that were successfully translated to &)
- Then CALL TRANSFORMATION were done to get the XML-file
Below you can see some different way's I have tried... Trying to use XSTRING.... and download via type BIN for GUI_DOWNLOAD. My starting point was with UTF-16, but with that I could not read the XML file at all - With UTF-8 I can read it but still as soon as some kind of special sign shows up the XML-editor complains about - Not allowed letter. Please help

Hi again
With coding above the download xml-file will contain
&amp : is interpreted as & in the xml-editor = OK
BUT the file contains other special signs that do not work:
± : is not interpreted ok. XML-editor will stop analyzing the file = NOT OK
Do you know if I could use another way of codepage or something to also handle these special signs.

Images stop appearing in SRM Catalog

Hi,
We have a problem thet images in the SRM Catalog stop showing.
The images are loaded in to the MDM Repository, (no hyperlinks)
The end users can see some of the pictures but some are just blank (no red cross even)
We are now using SAP MDM 7.1 SP09 and SRM 7.0 EHP2
Do you have any ideas how this problem can be solved?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Kim

Hi Sudha.
PDF's are supported by SRM-MDM Catalog as a hyperlinks.
Try attaching the PDF as a hyperlink for a record.
- Select a record-> Naviagate to Hyperlink Qualified Lookup->Add a new entry ->Select type as Link->Provide the PDF URL and other details->Save the record.
you can also do a mass upload of the PDF to a repository.
Now configure the hyperlink column to the UI and launch the catalog and check, you will find the link of the PDF where you can
open it by clicking the hyperlink. Let me know if you face any issues.
Regards
Bala

To use SRM Catalog from ECC

Hi All,
there is a way to use the SRM catalog from ECC system?
Can I buy items from ECC system selecting them from SRM catalog?
Thanks in advance.
Antonio.

Hi Antonio,
If I have understood your question correctly - you are looking out to buy products within ECC system using SRM system
If this is the case, you can do 2 things-
1. You can replicate all ECC products to SRM and buy them from standard SRM shopping cart functionality; wherein a search functionality would be avaialable to find out a perticular replicated backend product. Regarding maintenance of prices for these products- you can use 'interlinkages' withing SRM. You can maintain separate price of different vendors for a same product using interlinkages.
2. I am not sure about CCM but if SAP MDM is in your scope along with SRM, then you can replicate all ECC products as standard catalogs items to MDM from ECC. This would require XI as a middileware. Once replicated you can use these catalogs from buying purpose withing SRM
Hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Amit

Hi Folks,
Could you please let me know how to size the catalog management (CCM2.0) for SRM 5.0. I have checked the quick sizer and there is no questionnaire to find the details. Could some one help me find out the detials.

SRM Catalog Transfer Error

We have just finished installing SRM 7.0 ABAP (AIX/Oracle/NW 7.0 EhP 1) on one server, SRM 7.0 Java (same config) and SRM-MDM (3.0) on another server.
The servers talk fine. We're using ABAP for UME, we've done all of the configuration in the SRM-MDM catalog config guide and the SRM config guide.
We have a test user, set up to be able to see the catalog and shop. When logged in as this test user, we go to Employee Self-Service, Shop and click on a catalog to search. The catalog items are displayed on the screen.
When we try to transfer items to the shopping cart, we receive an error:
"Unit not transferred and cannot be determined
Incomplete items in catalog. Only complete items were transferred."
There is nothing in the J2EE logs, or MDM logs. No short dumps, nothing in the System log on the ABAP side.
Can anyone think of any place else to look?

Log into your MDM_SRM_UI_App, check your OCI setting and find out which field in MDM is mapped to you order unit. And check MDM catalog manager to find out whether or not you are sending this value.
If this check is fine, check the uom has a correct ISO code in SRM and the primary iso code check box is checked. I am sure the first check should solve your problem
Thanks

Defaut lead time in SRM Catalog

Hi,
I would like to know as to what are the options for making the lead time parameter ( from Catalog) set to a default value so that the delivery date ( required on date ) in SRM can be set to the current date + default value.
For eg: if the lead time in the catalog parameter can be set to 1 then the required on date in the shopping cart should be current date + 1.
I think this is possible through the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER . Also, it is possible to set the lead time so that the system calculates the next working day. Like if a shopping cart is created on friday the delivery date should be Monday.
Does anyone have the implementation code for realizing this scenario.
Awaiting your replies !
Regards,
Rajesh Rajendran

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the reply. I know that the lead time determines the delivery date of the product procured from SRM. However, my question was more technical. In terms of adding a default lead time for all the products which are obtained from the catalog.
We can use the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to change or add to the data that the catalog returns to SAP Enterprise Buyer via the catalog interface. I just wanted to get a sample code of how to code the BADI for setting the lead time parameter for all the line items from catalog to say fixed value 2.
This is in cases where the lead time parameter is sent blank from the vendor.
Regards,
Rajesh

SRM catalog navigation fails after Microsoft patch KB2416400

After applying Microsoft patch KB2416400, displaying catalogs is failing in IE7 and IE8. Getting the "Navigation to the webpage was canceled"... If you uninstall the patch, it will fix the issue in IE7. I have already reviewed the settings found in OSSN 1511147, which has not solved the issue when the patch is applied. Has anyone else applied this IE security patch and experienced similar results? We are on SRM7.0, SP05 - EP and catalogs both using https. Thanks.

Hi Kris,
we found a solution. Please look in SAP Note 1456162.
The note was written for IE 8, but it looks that the MS patch KB2416400 provides the same security measure also for IE 7.
IE7 does not allow the dynamic rendering of html by the outbound handler after the patch.
Cheers,
Jan

SRM Catalog Export

Hi,
When I export catalog , it only brings me details of the related schema (for supplier and purchasing catalog both) .. but i need the product details also.. Is there anything that i can do or any other way to get this ??
thx,

Hi
Please be aware that there is no specific method of extracting data from SAP CCM, it is generally acknowledged that if you have loaded the data to SAP CCM that you already have this data anyway!
However, if you insist on achieving this then perhaps this will help. There are mainly two (or three) options to retrieve the valuations of catalog items:
u2022     Either you gather some knowledge of cluster database table /CCM/D_VALUE_D, which contains the u201Ccurrentu201D values of characteristics per item u2013 but its access is hard to explain (you should have a look at method READ_VALUATION_DB in class /CCM/CL_CHAR_VALUATION_MANAGER);
o     field RELID is 05 for category valuations or 09 for item valuations
o     field PROCESS is AI for u201Cauthoring catalogu201D or SE for u201Csearching catalogu201D
o     field GUID must correspond to the item / category, for which the valuation should be retrieved
u2022     Or you get the knowledge of relational database table /CCM/D_VALUE_H, which contains the u201Chistoryu201D records of the itemsu2019 characteristic valuations
u2022     Or you get the knowledge of the catalog API to access a specific catalog (using ABAP classes /CCM/CL_CATALOG_MANAGER, /CCM/CL_ITEM_MANAGER and their appropriate data types and structures)
Both u201Ctable accessesu201D have the problem, that these tables quickly contain many records and the records are not selectable via the catalog context.
In this case there must be a u201Cpre-selectionu201D of item-GUIDs, which can be selected from /CCM/D_ITM via field context (the context in /CCM/D_ITM is the GUID of the catalog from /CCM/D_CTLG).
So not such an easy task to achieve, good luck!
Regards,
Jason

SRM Catalog Item GUID-Characteristics table

Hi
I am trying to test class /CCM/CL_ITEM_MANAGER method GET_ITEM_DATA so that i can read catalog item and then update it back
with new characteristic value using UPDATE_ITEM method.
Issue is when hit F8 i don't see these methods to test i am trying to find table where catalog item GUID to
characteristics values (i looked in GET_ITEM_DATA i can'r figure it out) are stored so that i can test my Enrichment BADI independently.
If someone worked bewofe with CCM catalog item GUID and characterstics values if can help to identify the table name.
Thanks in advance
