Transfer product category from catalog to SRM with 2 BE systems

Hello experts,
We are having an issue when transfering products from the SRM-MDM Catalog though OCI, since we have an SRM extended classic scenario connected to 2 backend systems.
When the information is downloaded to SRM, the product category is changed and a "default" is assigned.
SAP has confirmed this issue happens because there are 2 entries in table COMM_CATEGORY for this value (even though they are clearly differentiated by backend system).
In our case, let's say Product Category "OS" (Office Supplies) exists in both backend systems, and it seems the system only searches for "OS" instead of doing a link to the logical system somehow.
How can I implement BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in order for the system to use the right Product Category? Should I map one the backend system in one of the custom fields or is ir possible to somehow get the backend system in some other way?
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto,
You should use the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi to also define the relevent category GUID during transfer, in this way you can make the category unique and the default will not be selected.

Jason

  • Query Regarding Default Product category set up in SRM server

    HI SAp Gurus,
    Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
    Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
    In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
    But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
    1) Enter A comapny Code
    2) Enter a unit of measure
    3) Plant for follow-on document missing
    4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
    5) Error in account assignment for item 1
    6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
    7) Not possible to calculate tax
    8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
    9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
    When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
    I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
    System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
    I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
    Kindly advice and do the needful.

    Hi Muthu,
    I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
    Bu the new problem raised - a warning message -  No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
    For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
    But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
    Can any one please advice.

  • How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site?  We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time.  Is this possible through a CSV?

    There are two parts to this:
    1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
    2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • Product Category Description 2 in SRM missing

    Hello,
    we have the issue, that the Product Category Description 2 is needed in the SRM System. The replication from ERP just giving  Product Category Description 1. We are running SRM 7.0 and habe ECC 6.0 (EHP4) as Backend.
    What would be the best way to solve this?
    1. Enhance the master data replication and
    2. Enhance the dataobject Product Category in SRM with the field wgbez60 to store the data
    How can an enhancement to the replication be done? Is there a BADI as for vendors available?
    How the middleware program need to be changed?
    Thanks for your reply

    Hi. In that case....
    Go to BBPSC01 in the GUI, get the search help name from the category field.
    Go to SE11 and change the search help to add a new field and put in a search help exit just like any other search help.
    This way you can use the search help exit to read both descriptions from the backend and populate the search results.
    This will allow users to see both descriptions when searching.
    After they choose a category they will only see 1 description in the cart though.
    You could implement a custom field and use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate the second description. It will be shown in a different section on the cart though.
    Alternatively you could look at changing the templates, that would be quite tricky for something this complex though.

  • Replication of material from MM to SRM with only pricing info

    Hi,
    We want to replicate only those  materials from MM to SRM for which prices are maintained in the MM system.Pls let me know how to get this done.
    Thanks,
    Manu

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response.
    If I dont want to implement the BADI and transfer the prices from the backend system,In this case:
    Suppose user create sc with $300(Price taken automatically from COMMPR01)
    PO is created in r/3 with price as $250(Price taken from the Info records in MM)
    Here the user budget will be updated as $300 instead of 250 and alo it might change the triggerring of workflows based on starting conditions.Is der a way by which we can replicate the prices maintained in info records in SRM or update the user budget with the prices maintained in Info records in MM.
    Thanks,

  • Transfer of PR from ECC to SRM

  • Transfer item category from order to DO

    Hello,
    I like to clarify a sentence regarding the above mentioned. The context is in Order-Related DO copy controls.
    "For delivery items that are dependent on the order type, you cannot transfer any item categories from the order. For the delivery items, item category determination occurs in the delivery."
    Reasons for clarification:
    1. cannot understand what is meant by cannot transfer item categories from Order type to DO. What situation is this describing?
    regards
    Pascal

    It means delivery items entered manually the ITC is determined by the DO eg. DLN.

  • Transfer Of Data from Sap to Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services.

    Hello,
    We want to transfer data from Sap to Oracle using standard Enterprise Services.Some fields were not available in the existing standard Enterprise Services,so we have enhanced the existing Services by writing code inside BADI available with Enterprise Services.Rest of the fields we have mapped with the existing fields available in standard Enterprise Services.But,the Oracle people want to fetch all data from Sap without entering any input as a mandatory field in the Enterprise Services.The existing standard Enterprise Services require to enter any field as mandatory and are not accepting the range in input for multiple records.e.g.All enterprise Services related to Sales Orders are displaying only one sales Order.We have searched all Enterprise Services for Sales Order(related to reading of data),but not able to find service which would display mutiple records without entering any input.ECC_SALESORDER009QR is the only service which is displaying multiple records without entering any input,but the required fields are not available in this service.So,kindly suggest what we need to do further.
    1.Should we go for customization of services completely,so that it would fulfil our requirement.
    2.Are there  standard Enterprise Services exists which would we give us data in range(all records).
    If they exists,please specify the names of Services for reading Purchase Order,Production Order,BOM etc.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Divya.

    Hi Vaibhav,
    Let me tell you the objective in detail.
    Objective.
    To develop a package solution which will work as a bridge between Oracle APS and SAP system so that customers using SAP will be able to use advantages of Oracle APS for their planning needs.
    This will consist of following major components:
    OA Templates is an Oracle utility to load data from any legacy system to Oracle APS using standard flat files.
    Oracle has developed an Application Integration Architecture which is a standard architecture used for integration of Oracle products with other systems.
    Enterprise services is an SAP utility to communicate with SAP.
    AIA canonicals are standard canonicals developed by Oracle where we have to map data fields from destination system (Oracle APS) and source system (SAP)
    Fusion middleware is being used to develop application interfaces following AIA standards.
    Tasks at stake:
    Mapping of Oracle APS fields and SAP Enterprise Service fields to AIA canonicals
    Technical work of developing middleware using Oracle Fusion
    From Sap side,we have to map fields which we have received from Oracle with the help of Enterprise Services,rest  consumption of these services is done by Oracle guys.So,suggest is there enterprise services available which would give us multiple records .
    Thanks & Regards,
    Divya.

  • External requirements from ERP to SRM with ExtendedClassic scenario for PPS

    Hi all,
    We are having SRM 7.01 system with ERP ehp4, and we have to do PPS ( Public sector Procurement) as part of our implementation,for that we need to activate Extended classic Scenario.
    My question is whether we can have external requirements ( Material PR and Service PR) from ERP can be processed in the srm system.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Raju

    Hi
    We can use either the CPPR functionality which requires PI/XI to be in place or maintaining the T160PR and T160EX tables in ECC and running the report BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER to push the PR's into SRM. In SRM we have to maintain the entry channel to bring the PR's into SOCO.

  • Need to transfer production server from Hp-Unix to OS SuseLinux 11.5

    Background : We are having ECC 6.0 running on HP Unix
    What we need to do : want to migrate the entire production application to a new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5 certified by SAP AG
    What we are doing : there is a utility called Software Developer Tool [DRYRUN] using this utility want to export application to storage and from store we shall import/restore the application into the new server under o/s SuseLinux 11.5
    What error I am getting :
    Sapinst could not find the required software logistics java libraries DIAGNOSTS. The global directory may not be available at u2018/usr/sap/fpp/globalu2019 or its contain may not be up-to-date in addition the version of the SAP NetwWeaver java system might be lower than AP6. SOLUTION, Mound the global directory and/or apply the latest support package.
    Using above method we could migrate development server to SuseLinux 11.5 successfully.
    If I have posted this question on wrong forum pl. guide me
    Thanks
    Nitin

    Hello Nitin,
    You are receiving error from some third party tool. I think you should look for the 'DRYRUN' forums. By the way it would be greet if you could give more details about the dry run.
    But my other colleagues reply above is right. Ideally SAP forums would support normal heterogeneous system copy/migration methods.
    Let me have a look at the product after your input and probably after that we can  have a shot at the error.
    If you need help in finding Guides ,please let me know that too; can surely help you with that.
