B2B. Limitation for product catalog area

Hi,
Does product catalog has limitations?
Can i use any number levels for catalog area ?
Denis

I haven't seen an explicit limit. But I am guessing that it goes something like this:
The total sum of all the categories and sub-categories in all levels is not greater than 10,000.
Say if we have only two main categories, then we can go 5000 level deep in each main category (no more than one sub category at each level). Or if we have 5000 main categories, then we can go just one more level deeper at each category). In both the cases, the total categories + sub-categories is 10,000.
So, in theory we can have as many combination as you can imagine with in these limits.
More often, the limiting factor is the usability rather than the number of sub-categories.

  • Text table for long text of product catalog area and product description

    Hi experts,
    I'm a new comer in CRM, what my current job is to do the translation for CRM system and its portal, e.g. webshop.  Now I met some questions as below, Could you please give me some advices?
    1. Long text for product catalog area (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
    I found a  table named STXL(STXD SAPscript text file lines), maybe, it is related to the long text(product catalog area), but I can not get anything from the field CLUSTD of the table STXL as  its data type is RAW. Maybe, there is a text table in CRM to store these long text information, but I dont know, Could you please give me some ideas?
    2. Long text for product description (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
    I found a table named COMM_CFGLNGTXT(Long Texts for Different Objects),  I can find some long texts(product description) in this table, but some others, I can not find them. I dont know why? Maybe it is not a correct text table. Could you please give me some advices?

  • "list / grid view" and "sort by" for product catalogs

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there any progress to either have more layouts in our BC system for Catalogs, etc...
    or the Liquid Layout is being developed and I should use that on a real site?
    Customers keep asking for these basic E-commerce functions:
    - toggle between list view / grid view when viewing product catalogs;
    - sort by function for product catalogs;
    How should I achieve this???
    thanks for any insights,

  • Office 2013 - Excel 2013 - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

    I had Office 2010 starter and Outlook 2010 installed.  I recently purchased the Office 2013 click to run version (paid monthly subscription) and installed Office 2013.  After installing 2013 I noticed that when I opened up Excel files they would
    still open in Office 2010.  I uninstalled Office Starter 2010 and uninstalled Outlook 2010.
    I then manually fixed the file associations for Word, PowerPoint, Publisher and such, however I could not manually fix the Excel file association. 
    Excel documents show the correct icon however when I double click on them the following error appears "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    I have used the Office 2013 repair process, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013, I have manually uninstalled office 2013 using KB 2739501 (
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us ) and I still can not open Excel documents. 
    Recently I found that I can not do mail merges either using Excel documents as the data source and I believe the two items are related.
    Any suggestions?

  • 'this action is only valid for products that are currently installed'

    hi im new to discussion groups so i might be a little slow... i came aross a problem a couple of days ago where when i clicked on itunes this came up'this action is only valid for products that are currently installed' im not really sure what to do about it!i have tried to uninstall it but it wont let me i have also tried to install a new itunes but it gets stuck and never finishes the install. i have done some research on the net about it and i think it may have occured due to deleting mcafee of my computer however there are no solutions to this problem.
    can anybody help?
    thanks!

    Every time I try to open iTunes a pop up opens
    that says "This action is only valid for products
    that are currently installed."
    that's actually an installer error equivalent
    to the InstallShield 1605 error:
    Error 1605: This action is only valid for
    products that are currently installed
    ... when you go to launch itunes, are you opening it
    via the start menu, or are you clicking on a desktop
    icon? if you are clicking on a desktop icon, what is
    it called, and what does the icon look like?
    Never Mind! But Thanks any way

  • Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

    What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
    The TOC would contain the product Categories. 
    So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6. 
    From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed.  If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items. 
    Any suggestions?

    Peter Spier wrote:
    TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
    One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

  • Is there any RFC for product catalog

    Hi all,
    With out using ISA, if we have to place product catalog on internet. Is there any RFC we can use.
    Priya

    Hello,
    There is no single RFC that can help you reproduce the Web Channel catalog features. The catalog module works in tandem with TREX for search and display of catalog items with attributes and mime objects. Lot of thought and resources have been input to get the catalog as it is now.
    So, I would suggest you start calling your requirement to Display Product List instead of calling catalog. The reason is simple.The moment you have that list, you will start getting requests / requirements to add more features - such as, nice display with tree structure, search capability, ability to integrate with cart, product details, etc, etc. -  quickly leading to a situation where the catalog in its current form is the solution.
    Anyway, try the function modules in the following function groups.
    CRM_ISALES_PRDCAT - is you want to read the catalog structure as maintained in the CRM system (no product details in catalog). You have to go to product master to get the product / attribute details. No search capabilities. No tree (area / sub area) hierarchies in display.
    SRAD, SRA1 - If you want to mess around reading the TREX indexes and get the information. No tree (area / sub area) hierarchies in display.
    By the way, you can still use the catalog only in the ISA - by just modifying the B2C application -flow_ and removing all the cart related features. Easier said than done. but still, I think that this exercise will be lot easier than developing a new catalog with no features
    If the purpose is to export the catalog to an external display entity, you can try the transaction COMM_PCAT_EXPORT.

  • Steps to follow while extending a catalog (specifically for product catalog)?

    I want to add some new properties to the products, to determine there type based on that i want to display different options on the product details page.
    Can you please tell me how to extend the product catalog and what are the steps involved in it?

    Adding to Ricky,
    Since u have not specified ATG version.
    Go to ProductCatalog Repository in dyn/admin and see the definition file.ProductCatalog.xml is used for standard catalog and CustomCatalog.xml is used for custom catalog.
    Extend that xml using configuration layering.

  • 11G XE limitations for production use

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new for this EX edition here i want to know limitations for this 11G XE edition.
    We are planing to implement XE edition for production . Can any one please help me what are the advantages and dis-advantages.
    I came to know that up to 11 GB of data it will support and 1GB of Ram. Here 11GB data support means including hole database base only. And how many customers can connect at a time for the database.
    Please help me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Poorna Prasad.S

    Hi,
    I'm not a Guru, but if you don't mind, I'll try to answer your question anyway.
    Can any one please help me what are the advantages and dis-advantages.Well, the major advantage is obvious: It's free. A second one is the fact that you have a more recent APEX version preinstalled than the regular 11.2 database.
    The disadvantages result from the limitations. As you already mentioned, you only can store up to 11 GB data and use up to 1 GB RAM. In addition to that, XE will use only the equivalent of 1 CPU. For all details on limitations, you can read the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/license.112/e18068/toc.htm]Licensing Information. And of course, you can't get support for XE, i.e. you don't have access to security updates and can't open a service request if something's not working.
    And how many customers can connect at a time for the database.Well, there is no hard limit for that. But due to the fact that RAM and CPU are limited, XE doesn't scale up unlimited. The actual limit will depend on your application(s), i.e. how much RAM will it consume and how many CPU-seconds per request. As a result you'll get a physical and an acceptance limit due to the fact that response times usually shouldn't exceed a certain value...

  • Image Publishing to ISA for Product catalog

    Hi Guys,
    I have to attach an image to each product and publish it to ISA using TREX.
    I have created products and product catalog, I have published all products to ISA application also, But i dont know how to do the same with image.
    Can someone tell me the required steps that needs to follow up.
    Thanks.
    Greetings.
    Regards,
    Manoj Tiwari

    Hello Manoj Tiwari,
    Regarding the distribution of the product catalog, there are 2 parts :
    - The product catalog (structure, texts, ...) is replicated to the index server. The settings for replication are done via SRMO.
    - The catalog may also contain multimedia objects such as images, sound files... Those data are replicated to a specific folder of the web server. To replicate and publish these datas, you must define HTTP and FTP settings.
    following transactions are used for replication / publication :
    - initial replication : comm_pcat_ims_init
    - update replication : comm_pcat_ims_upda
       report com_pcat_imsd_cp_show gives you all changes taken into account in update replication
    - single replication : comm_pcat_ims_single
    replication logs are found in transaction SLG1.
    Pay attention to the fact that the documents are language dependant.
    Regards,
    Frédéric

  • A custom pricing procedure to be used for product catalog via IPC

    Hi all,
       I am new to IPC and E-commerce concepts.I need all your valuable help to work on the below scenario
    I have an existing custom pricing procedure zcustom on the order document in ECC system which needs to be used on the catalog pricing. In simple words customer specific pricing  is to be viewed by dealers in the Product Catalog.
    I have also gone through the PricingUserExit Manual and have understanding on the basics.Please give me steps that I can follow to get a solution for this scenario.
    Thanks and Regards
    Deepika

    Hi Deepika,
    Please check this note [1126537|https://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=1126537&nlang=E] .
    The attached document 'Pricing_in_SAP_ECO.pdf' describes how pricing is done in your case. I think chapter 1.1.1.2 refers to the situation you describe, it tells how the pricing procedure is found and which attributes are available. Other attributes have to be added via customer exits.

  • Picking in WM for production supply area

    Dear expert,
    In my scenario when production order is released it will automatically create TR. Then convert to TO to move from fixed bin (source) to production supply (storage type 100). Now, i want to do picking this material from production supply (storage type 100) to supply area in work centre for production.
    How to do this?

    Hi BPO,
    Please define your requirement better. What causes problem to you?
    Are you speaking about raw materials or SFG that you get when you book confirmation against your PrdOrd?
    You can create storage bins under storage type 100 as well (to store your goods there) and you can define storage typr search (SPRO) and storage strategies (WM view in material master).
    You can define control cycles for your supply areas...
    What's your problem exactly?
    Thanks,

  • Can we have a b2b webshop without Product catalog in it

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a scenario where I dont want to Product catalog on the webshop. Customers log in and just want to see the order history.
    How can I set this up.
    Please explain if this is possoble.
    Thank You

    Hi Ram,
    yes, you will have to create a catalog without products. This is because the catalog is a required field when creating a new shop in the shopadmin. Only when you use the webshop with an R/3 or ERP backend, no catalog is required at all.
    Best regards,

  • PPR(Partner Product Range) Type for Product Catalog Views

    Hi all,
    I need to prevent showing some products in E-commerce Catalog depending on the PPR settings. Does the PPR type for Catalog Views help me? can any one explain me what is significance of drop-down "Application" in the PPR type configuration.
    thanks in advance
    Regards, DD

    Hi Mohanthy,
    We are using PPR ( CRM Listings in Filtering products from ISA ). There is no standard way to make the products not displayed in catalog based on listing. We call a Z function module to after the user login to the Ecommerce Application and get the allowed products list and then use that to filter-out the products from the catalog page. ( This might not be a gr8 approach but .. this is exactly your requirement,  and also we don't have a huge catalog so listing data in session is small for us.)
    Hope this gives you a idea.
