Automatic assigning of products to catalog in ERP E-Commerce 5.0 B2B

Hi Everyone,
We have lots of products (aprox 25000), which we want to assign to catalog. We have decided to take a 2 step approach.
A) create/desin a Ztable which represent the Tree structure of catalog layout design and then create a program to insert all the products into the Ztable.
B) Use the ISA catalog Replication badi, copy the standard class CL_ISA_REPLICATION_CATALOG as Z and use the methods of this class to read our Ztable to assign and replicate the products to the respective layout areas.
Something like this approach we have used in CRM b2B implementation, but there the replication process was different program.
Can someone share his/her experience on this replication BADI and class ?
Thanks in Advace,
Dips

Hi Martin,
This is a very common requirement. Normally when there are thousands of products which needs to be assigned in catalog. Then the process is to just define the catalog. Then design a logic which would tell you, at what level( Catalog area/node) your product should go when replication happens.
In such a scenerio you will not see any products attached in catalog, but all the products will straightaway get assigned to catalog in TREX by means of replication.
Also the tables and tcode which you mentioned are for CRM. My Scenerio is ERP E-Commerce.
Thanks and regards,

Import products into Product catalog - WWM1 ERP E-commerce

Hi guru's,
Is there a standard LSMW or program form SAP to import products (XML file) into Product catalog (wwm1). We have arround 10,000 materials and it is practically hard to enter them manually.
We are implementing SAP ERP E-commerce and are on ECC 6.0.
Thanks
Ram

While lot of effort is put by SAP in a BAPI to read Catalog or Catalog Export programs, there isn't any direct program to automatically load catalog.
We are out of luck if we don't use the automatic option in Catalog - that is to load catalog as per the hierarchy. If we have to use manual then there are no standard LSMW / programs for TCODE WWM1 to load products in catalog. We have found that the screens don't work well for a BDC type loading and hence we could not use LSMW easily.
Now, here is the IDOC for [Product Catalog - PRDCAT / PRDCAT01 |https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdcat01_d.htm] and one for [Product Catalog Item - PRDPOS / PRDPOS01|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdpos01_d.htm]. What do these give you? Nothing much really - you can use these as a way of input of your XML catalog data. But you still have to write your own program to load the data.
In CRM, there are bunch of function modules when used in a coordinated way, can be used to build a loading program.

Order type automatically assign to product wise for order

Hi all,
I gave 4 types of Orders for one plant as per products. The client ask me assign that orders automatically for each product in routing how i will assign please let me know.

Actually routing has no relation to order type.
You can use Production Scheduling Profile as well as Production Scheduler/Supervisor.
Firstly, you need to create 4 Production Scheduling Profile and assign 4 Order Type to Prd Sch. Profile.
Then you need to assign the Profile to material in Work Scheduling view.
Another way is that you can create Production Scheduler/Supervisor and assign the Pro Sch Profile to the Prd Scheduler, then assign Prod Scheduler to Material Master in Work Scheduling view also.
From now on, whenever a production order is created for material, order type will be get from the Scheduling Profile.
To maintain the Prd Sch Profile and Prd Scheduler in IMG: Production > Shop Floor COntrol > Master Data

Missing prices in a product catalog in ERP E-commerce

Hi All,
We are implementing ERP E-commerce using ECC 6.0 as the backend. I created a product catalog using
basic data thet includes catalog type, proper sales area, a valid customer, document schema, variant
and all other required data. I defined some valid materials in the layout of the product catalog. I created
condition recors for the sales area/customer/material combination. But, I do not get any prices for the
materials in the product catalog. If I create a sales order using he sales area, material and customer that
I used in the product catalog then I get the proper prices for the materials in the sales order.
Please let me know what can be the reasons for the missing prices in product catalog? What configuration/
settings that need to be done to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

CaN you chk in mm02 for those materials if a valid unit of measurement is maintained?

Customer specific prices in Catalog SAP ERP E-Commerce

Hi Experts,
We have implemented SAP ERP E-commerce -- ECC 6.0 ISA 5.0
Initially we implemented a B2B scenario without TREX engine.
VMC component is active (IPC).
In the catalog we don't see customer specific prices. What are the steps to enable customer specific prices in the catalog.
Do we need TREX engine ?
Do we need catalog views for customers to get customer specific prices.
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hello Ram,
Maybe have a read of thread Prices on Product catalog for e-Commerce R/3 this contains some helpful information.

Products not getting assigned to product catlog

Hi,
I am learning crm and needed your advice on product catlog.
My products are not getting assigned to product catlog (both automatic as well as manual).
There are 2 queries related to creation of sub area -
1) I wanted to know, what comes in Cat Area type - ie does it remains blank or something is assigned to it?
2) When I enter my product ID under item overview, the errors comes as product 0000..510010 does not have data for sales management.
Please advice me on above 2 queries.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards.

1) I wanted to know, what comes in Cat Area type - ie does it remains blank or something is assigned to it?
Catalog area is a kind of categorization or grouping or hierarchy in a catalog. For example, if yuo are creating a catalog for a super market, then Clothes, Groceries, Toys etc. could be Cat. Areas. With in a catalog area one can define more sub-areas - for example, in Toys, you can have sub-areas either by Age 5-10, Age 11-15 etc or by Brand. This is the case of manual assignment. In case of *automatic assignment, the catalog area and sub-ares will be part of the Product hierarchy.
All you need is a definition for the Catalog Areas. You need to assign products only if there are any in that area or sub-area.
2) When I enter my product ID under item overview, the errors comes as product 0000..510010 does not have data for sales management.
Did you download them from ERP system? Then you must download the Sales Org data. In the same token, if you have created this product in CRM, then you should maintain the sales data tab,

Why PO is automatically assigned with release strategy?

I created a PO with PO document type NB and NB is not assigned with any release strategy.
But the PO with NB type is automatically assigned with release stragety when I save it as a completed PO. Why?
And only when the PO is in held status, there is no release strategy assigned to NB PO.
Is the normal ERP behavior?
I only assigned a release strategy to PO document type DB, which means dummy document type.

Please check the release strategy of PO, whether document type NB is assigned to it. May be you are checking the wrong release strategy. Look up the release strategy under CLASSIFICATION button, may be if multiple release strategies are used, your document type is assigned to some other strategy.
Easier way to check which strategy is getting applied, is in PO release strategy look up rel. strat No. which will come under release group, look up in spro with this release strategy no. in spro which will shorten your search.

Source system assignement in production

Hi all
Before importing any requests which are related to infosource , cubes and update rules into production, do we need to make any source system assignment in production system?
I have directly imported into production but there were no source system / data source assignments to these infosource.
can you please suggest what to do for these souce system assignments in production.
thanks in advance
AN

Hi,
you have to assign the production source system to your BW system. After replication of the DataSources, you can import your development from the BW development system.
Important is the conversion in the SPRO Transaction - Change source system name after transport. In this view you have to type in the source system name of the source system linked to your development system and the name of the source system linked to your production system. During import to production system, BW will automatically change the source system names.

Catalog views for ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0

We are implementing the R/3 version of CRM-ISA (ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0).
We need to implement product catalog views to allow filtering based on specific attributes.
We have created a custom function module Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE to replace ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE and Z_ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS to replace ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS.
But when we test from ISA the FM Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE does not get invoked through RFC.
There is an SAP NOTE 998453 that we checked but it is still a pilot version.
Has anyone implemented the catalog views without the notes? Can we do the catalog views without the note? If so, how can we meke custom FM work? Please advice.
Thanks,
VK

Check the following.
1. The XCM file modification-config.xml replaces both the function modules
2. The checkbox to use the catalog views is checked for your webshop
3. Catalog is published to TREX and you are using TREX catalog instead of Memory catalog.
I don't think these notes work without TREX. I'd be interested in learning if anyone successfully implemented Catalog views with ECC ECO without using TREX.

CHARM: Automatic assignement for IBase/Component in Change Request

Hi!
By creation of Change Request the value "IBase / Component" should be filled.
The default values here are: "0" and "0".
Has some one already customizng experience here?
I would like to change the value to e.g. "1" and "314" (my productive IBase).
Thank you very much!

H. Thomasson

Hi Roel,
many thanks for your response. You talking about service desk issue.
Unfortunately we do not use service desk and create the change requests manually.
As I mentioned of great interest were the issue with customizing of layout and actions within Change requests and documents.
Here some examples:
automatic assignement of change manager to the change request
automatic assignement of Ibase to the change requests
Do you know the customizing procedure here (tcode, documentation) and can help?
Thank you in advance

Automatic assignment of hierarchy field in the main table

Hi,
We are upgrading from SRM-MDM catalog 2.0 to SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 sp07 patch 10.
In the main table, we have the standard field Hierarchy, that is a lookup on table Hierarchy.
In order to value this field, we have a specific field in the Main table, the UNSPSC code, that is a lookup on a specific reference table. This reference table makes the link between UNSPSC codes and nodes of the Hierarchy table.
After importing a new record that contains the UNSPSC code, we want to automatically assign a value to the hierarchy field in the Main table by the assignment's expression "[main table]UNSPSC code. [specific table]name of hierarchy. [Hierarchy table]name of hierarchy".
When executing this assignment, we get the error "Assignment operation failed: A runtime error occurred while evaluating an assignment, validation or calculated field".
Do you know if this kind of assignment is possible (it worked in MDM 5.5 but not anymore in 7.1) ? Or if there is a workaround ?
Thanks for your kind help.
Catherine

Hi Mandeep,
Thanks for your answer.
But, I do not want to assign a specific value to the Hierarchy field in the Main table. I want to determine it via a specific table.
Here is a sample of our data model to try to explain :
Main table :
item reference [Display field]
hierarchy --- lookup on Hierarchy table
UNSPSC code --- lookup on Specific reference table
Hierarchy table :
hierarchy name [Display field]
hierarchy code
Specific reference table, type flat :
UNSPSC code [Display field]
hierarchy name --- lookup on Hierarchy table
After import, in the Main table, item reference and UNSPSC code are valued.
In order to value the hierarchy field in the Main table, we would like to use the specific reference table :
[Main table]UNSPSC code >>> [Specific reference table]hierarchy name >>> [Hierarchy]hierarchy name.
This assignment works if the assignment field is a plain text field but not if it is the Hierarchy field of the Main table, which is on lookup on the Hierarchy table.
Thanks for your help !
Best regards,
Catherine

How to automatically assign a batch number

Hello experts,
Our customer have the "Manage Item by" settings on "Batches" and the "Management Method" settings on "On Release Only".
He don't want to manually generates the batch numbers in Delivery Entry because he would like to have an automatic assignment of batch number like a progressive number for year.
How can I achieve it using DI API ?
I have tried to create a Delivery Document using the BatchNumbers object but I got the following error message "the batch number you selected doesn't exists".
So I created a Goods Receipt for the batch number above and finally the delivery document has been created successfully.
The issue came out is about the stock quantity for the itemcode because the Goods Receipt have increased it and as result I have the same stock quantity as before the delivery and of course it's not correct !
I noticed that SAP B1 after the manually generation of batch number it creates a record on the OIBT table using an existing Good Receipt.
How can I add a batch number in the OIBT table using DI API without the need to create a Good Receipt ?
Can someone help me ?
It would be very appreciated.
Many thanks for your time in advance.

IPC pricing gross value for products in catalog

Hello all,
In ISA b2b application I need to add a new column with gross value for products in catalog. Here is how I've tryed :


 <td align="right" >
 <%IPCItem priceRef2;
 try {
 priceRef2 = (IPCItem) item.getItemPrice().getPriceInfo()
 .getPricingItemReference();
 if (priceRef2 != null) {
 DimensionalValue grossValue = priceRef2
 .getGrossValue();
 %>
 <%=grossValue.getValueAsString() + " "
 + grossValue.getUnit()%>
 <% } else {
 %><isa:translate key="z_catalog.isa.nogrossvalue"/> <% }
 } catch (Exception e) {
 %><isa:translate key="z_catalog.isa.ipcexception"/>
 <%} %>
 </td>
 

The problem is that the gross value is the same with the net value.
I've try also using item.getItemPrice().getPriceInfo().getAllPriceInfos()
where item is WebCatItem, and retrive an array of PriceInfo (s) with only one PriceInfo object which has the type netValue.
Then in the backendobject-config.xml I've modify the priceTypes attribute value for BO "CatPriceCalc", but without any succes. Here is the snippet:
<businessObject type="PriceCalc" name="CatPriceCalc" className="com.sapmarkets.isa.backend.crm.webcatalog.pricing.PriceCalculatorCRMIPC" connectionFactoryName="JCO" defaultConnectionName="ISAStateless">
 <params>
 
 <param name="priceTypes" value="totalNetValue totalGrossValue"/>
 
 <param name="doItemCalls" value="true"/>
 
 </params>
Do you know how to solve this problem? Or why is not working.
Any help (soultion, docs, links) is very wellcome and rewarded.
Thank you
Bogdan

Hi Bodgan,
 It seems that some values like tax, discount are not being calculated by IPC as required parameters are not sufficient enough to differentiate between the two. You can run catalog pricing analysis and see what are the gross and net pricing value. You can update the extra parameters to IPC by extending the class you mentioned and modify backend config xml file to use that class for ISA.
Regards.
