SRM-MDM Catalogue Search UI - Qualified table search

Hi,
We are having the following situation:
- We have a catalogue of articles
- We have to tie an article to a location, in addition to a location-specific parameter.
- Exampe:
Article A is tied to location A, parameter A
Article B is tied to location B, parameter B
Article C is tied to location A, parameter B
- The way to solve this in MDM is to use the qualified table. I have created one where:
Location = non-qualifier
parameter = qualifier
I want to make this searchable in the SRM-MDM search UI.
The user should be able to choose one Location, and then one parameter tied to that Location, to view relevant articles.
This is no problem using SAP Portal with MDM. But how can we realise this using SRM-MDM search UI?
I have tried, but can only get a drop down or text search on the non-qualifier field.
Can anyone please help? Is this even possible?
KR;
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Is there any possibilities to configure/add code to the search UI, or is this completely locked for customization/altering through code? Unfortunately, I feel it is standard and we can not customize it.
There is no issue in your design but if your location as well as parameter has certain(limited) number of values only. You can create location field in MDM Main table which is lookup to Locations Flat table and similarly for Parameter field lookup to Parameters table rather than using Qualified table. As you can set lookup/Text field search only, so you can set these two fields in your search criteria. where first you search for Location say US it will search records with US location and when you further give search according to parameter it will further filter(navigate) records based on both Location and parameter, just a thought came which i feel to share with you, try it if it helps you.

  • Best Practice transport procedure for SRM-MDM Catalogue repositories change

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding SRM-MDM Catalogue repository change transports.
    We currently have two QA servers and to Production servers (main and fail-over).
    We are investigating the need of a Development server.
    Changes are being made to the repositories on the system, and I see the need of a dev server.
    What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
    With only QA and Prod environments I guess Repository schema transport is the best option, since there has not been created a Refference file (which is needed for change file transport).
    Any other options?
    We are running MDM as well, with dev, QA and prod environments. Here we use CTS+ for transports.
    Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
    KR,
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas.
    What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
    SAP recommends to have the landscape model like DEV-QA-PROD.
    So in case of catalog as well if we follow the same technique it will help you to have a successful implementation
    Any other options?
    As a part of proceeding with the CTS+ you need to create a reference file
    Refer the Link: [CTS+|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0dd1ae0-36e5-2b10-f8b4-e6365e643c0b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] for more details
    Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
    It is upto the requirement. if you feel there are many changes in catalog xml schema in various phases in an automatic manner then you can go ahead with CTS+ or you can perform the existing method of exporting and importing the schema to the repository.
    Hope it helps.
    Best Regards

  • Quantity tab is non-editable under ITEM VIEW screen in SRM- MDM Catalogue

    HI,
    Implementation of  SRM MDM Catalogue 2.0 SP04 (5.5.64.82) .Need inputs on  SRM MDM Catalogue>shooping cart view >ITEM DETAIL screen
    Following two tabs  "Add to Shopping Cart" or "Add to Shopping List"  are not working under "Item View" screen when user trying to add items  by using these two tabs. Some  "java.lang.NullPointerException" error is populating when user clicks on any of these two tabs. Detailed screen shot attached for your understanding
    Also, "Quantity" tab is disabled  and seen as non editable field  - (which is greyed out) - we can not place any value into it.
    But the "Add to Shopping Cart" or "Add to Shopping List" tabs are working fine under other  screens  views like  "context view" & "List view" .
    Seems like it is a product Bug
    Need your valuable inputs at earliest as our go-live date is approaching very near
    Thanks & Rgds/Pawan

  • Calling the SRM-MDM Catalogue from SAP PM

    Dear SRM-MDM Experts,
    We are trying to call the SRM-MDM Catalogue from ECC 6 Plant Maintenance module using tcode IW31.  We have performed the following config in PM:
    1.     Define Catalogs
    2.     Assign Catalogs to Task List Types
    When we create a Plant Maintainance order using tcode IW31, there is a Catalog button on the bottom of the screen.  When we click on this Catalog button, it give us message u201CNo Catalog could be determinedu201D.  What else do we need to configure to make this work?
    Thanks in advance
    Kind regards

    I figured it out.  Issue resolved.  I had to link the Catalog to teh PM order type.

  • Qualified table search in MDM

    Hello All,
    I am trying to do drill down search in Data manager on qualified table.
    when in search critieria i am selecting qualified table ,I am not getting all qualifiers in search tab.(we have 6 qualifiers and i am only getting 3 of them )
    and in values as well when i am selecting say for
    qualifier                  Value
    country                  USA
    if i am selecting this combination i am not getting any records whereas there are more than 1000 records of country USA .
    any suggestions.!
    Kunal

    Hi Kunal,
    Check the below statements from MDM Reference Guide and check whether you have designed the repository in the same way or not.
    It permits drilldown search by qualifier lookup values even before you have selected a single qualified table record in the qualified lookup field search tab.
    It permits free-form search by qualifiers (both lookup and non-lookup) when Sort Index is enabled.
    In above statements "It" is nothing but when you enable the Cache property of qualifiers.
    Kindly update us on your issue.

  • More than 2 dropdown boxes in the UI Configuration/SRM-MDM Catalogue Search

    Hi! We know that there is a limit to the number of drop-down boxes we can define in SRM-MDM UI configuration. However, we really have a need for that as there is no variant configuration in SRM-MDM. In this case, we want to allow user to select the colour (dropdown box) followed by size (dropdown box) in order to get the right items (e.g. shirt) to appear. Because we also need to have another field to be drop-down, we cannot do so due to the limitation.
    Has anyone found a solution around this?
    Cheers!

    Hi All,
    PLease could someone guide me here, I have created a SRM MDM master and slave configuration. the server was restarted and now the Slave repository has a black line through the top and you are unable to syncronize, normalize or perform any functions on the slave.
    Kind Regards

    Hi All,
    I got the official word back from SAP there is no apparent way to correct the repository, the official answer can be found in th e MDM console reference guide Release: MDM 7.1 SP07 May 12, 2011, under the section BROKEN MASTER/SLAVE REPOSITORIES, to sum it up you need to unload the master repository then normalize it unmount the slave and recreated a new slave from the master.

  • Named Searches in SRM-MDM

    Dear Experts,
    I try to create Named Searches On the SRM-MDM Catalog.
    I created named searches and assigned each named search do CATALOG_ID.
    I assigned the relevant CATALOG_ID to the organizational unit in the organizational stracture.
    In the Search UI the user sees the link to the named search I assigned, but he still see all the Items and not only the items I assigned to the named search.
    I guess I did not assign the items I picked properly.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Keren

    Hi,
    In SRM MDM data manager select the current table as Named search in record mode.Right click -Add -Say NamedSearchS1.Then Select your main table as current table.Select the records which you want to display to particular user.Then go to menu Search-Add to named search S1.
    Go to Console under roles table-select the particular role-under tables and field tab-Named search-add constraint as S1.
    MDM support 400 named searches.
    In EBP then add the s1 in call structure.

  • SRM MDM Catalog ---- SRM

    Hi,
    Is there a middleware (Pi) required to connect "SRM MDM" with "SRM" ?
    Can anyone explain the integration between these two.
    Points will be given
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the SRM MDM Catalogue bundle provided from SAP, there are 2 SCA files provided along with the other components. So your basis team need to deploy those SCA files through SDM (Software Deployment Manager) in SRM Portal. The files arovided are for background connectivity of MDM+SRM and the second one is for UI(User Interface) Management. So after deploying the same, your basis team will provide you 1 url which is composite of your server name, port etc.
    Paste that URL in Internet Explorer and it will route you to that UI Manager. You should have UI Manager role assigned to your user ID so that you can access the UI. By Default there is 1 user created in MDM as Master with blank password which is used to maintain the UI as it has that role assigned to it.
    So when you open that link, it will ask you for server name, password of that server and later User ID of SRM repository and Password. When you login into that, it will show you the configuration done for SRM Portal. There is one button named as OCI (Open Catalogue Interface)mapping. So when you press on that, it will open the OCI mapping sheet where the MDM fields will be mapped to corresponding SRM Portal fields to view the data. By this mean only the connectivity is done for SRM MDM Scenario.
    XI is required in only case when you need both the functionalities like you need to use SRM MDM and normal MDM scenario in a single repository. For eg you have one catalogue consisting several materials which are displayed as Catalogue and all the materials which are changed, should be sent to XI to send it further.
    Once OCI is done, you need to maintain the webservice in SRM System for accessing the catalogues in MDM directly. For that Masks are created and assigned to that particular user id. In web Service, you need to define the URL, Server Name, Repository Name, Password, Mask etc by which you can automate the process and bifercate the users to access the catalogues related to their country or organisation.
    Please let me know in case of any issues.

    Hi,
    We are in migration from CCM 2.0 SRM MDM.
    In CCM , we are uploading the catalogs with UNSPSC and material group. Either any one is mandatory.
    If they give UNSPSC code in catalog, while uploading we are mapping to correspoding material group.
    But in SRM MDM , we dont have UNSPSC table it self. We will create that table in main structure of MDM catalog.
    But how to map the UNSPSC code to material group?
    Mapping is available in SRM table.

  • SRM MDM Catalog -Service Item

    Hi guys,
    We got a standard SRM MDM catalog implementation with OCI configuration handling all the item mapping.
    I run into issues when I flag an item as a "Service Item" in MDM by using the default provided flag MDMSRM_SERVICE_ITEM.
    This flag, when set to the true value of X, passes an item to EBP as a Service item as it should.
    However, once this flag is set for an item and the corresponding OCI mapping is done, all other items (i.e. items that have the flag with a false value) in the MDM repository get transferred to EBP as Service items as well.
    So, in other words, once the the MDMSRM_SERVICE_ITEM is mapped in OCI, it flags all MDM items as Service items irrespective of the flag value.
    Any help is deeply appreciated.
    Thanks folks.

    Hi Anshuman,
    We had a same issue. Just you need to set the other value="FALSE".
    Open the MDM Console, select the SRM-MDM repository, Select the main table and navigate to the field Service Item. You will find this field is of type Boolean with True value = "X" and False value = " ". Set the False value = "FALSE" and Default value = FALSE.
    Now check whether the items present in Data Manager has FALSE for service item field by default and then run the scenario it should work fine.
    Kindly update us...

  • Is Spell check feature currently available in SRM MDM Catalog

    Hi
    Can anyone let me know if the Spell check feature is currently available in SRM MDM Catalogue. We are trying to simulate the following scenario:
    We want to replicate the Content Management functionality in SRM MDM Catalog so that an external tool is not required prior to Catalogue Admin i.e. the MDM tool covers the current functionality used by us in the existing Microsoft access system including Spell Check, Quality Control.
    Is this possible, or do we still need to do this outside the system.
    Please let me know, will reward points for the solution without fail.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    you can try this.There is a spell checker in MDM Data Manager .Select all records goto edit menu there is an option of spell check.
    If u want it at field level then goto field enter a value Right click(on the field itself)-select Spell check.
