Catalog pricing in ERP ECO 5.0

Hello gurus
We are currently using ERP ECO 5.0 connected to ECC 6 and we also have TREX involved for indexing purposes. ECC product catalog has list price enabled via SD pricing procedure and since we dont have any values for sub total 2, we see promotional price as zero in ECC.
Our intent is that in B2B site, when the product catalog is browsed, only list prices be shown. In the shopadmin, we have made a setting for list prices + IPC.
But the issue is that in the b2b catalog we are seeing not the list price but a calculated price under promotional price. So the price column shows zero and promotional price shows a price other than list price, although we dont have any promotional price in ECC catalog. This is incorrect for us as not all custom abap routines are converted to java yet and even if we had java routines firing, we still want to see list prices in catalog. Since there are tons of ECC product catalogs and we dont wish to replicate the catalog with read prices flag checked in trex replication, is there another way to reflect the real time list price in b2b catalog?
Also would like to know the best practices aroung pricing. Is it a requirement that any time pricing master data is changed (list prices increased or decreased) via VK11/12, that we must replicate the changes to TREX? I could not get a clarification from Pricing in ECO pdf. It says when using list prices, prices are not redermines in every user session. Does it mean that if we log out and then log back in, changes in pricing data will be visible? or does it mean we must replicate pricing data via trex.
Please provide your thoughts/inputs.

Jai

Yes

You are not alone
It says when using list prices, prices are not redermines in every user session. Does it mean that if we log out and then log back in, changes in pricing data will be visible? or does it mean we must replicate pricing data via trex.
It means both. Best practice assumes that the list prices don't change frequently. The catalog search results using the index server - TREX - (and hence the characteristics and list price etc) are cached for performance purpose. The cache has its own recycling time - but recycles when catalog is published new.
So if you time your catalog publishing without disrupting the online customers, this should be manageable.

ERP ECO IPC Display Multiple Prices in Product Catalog

Hi,
We are using ERP ECO 5.0 with IPC Pricing. Currently we have the 'netValue' configured for priceTypes, which is displayed correctly on the product catalog.
We have a new requirement, where we need to display three different price conditions from the pricing procedures on the product catalog for each material. This includes PR00, YR00 (custom condition type) & subtotal 3.
Is it possible to retrieve the above condition types and display on the product catalog? How should we go about doing this? Any pointers on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,

you have to write the IPC userexits.

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.

Will catalog item and ERP contract be in synch?

Dear Experts,
Could you please comment if the SRM-MDM catalog item and ERP contract will be in synch? Our client has the below business process:
At the end of the RFx process, the system will create a central contract in the SAP SRM system. Now, the central contract will be distributed to the ERP MM system. Once the contract is created in the backend ERP MM system, the contract will be pushed to SRM MDM catalog from ERP MM system by MECCM transaction code.
Now, the catalog contract item is used in the shopping cart. Will the shopping cart item quantity get offset in the ERP MM contract?
I hope, if the ERP MM contract quantity gets offset, it will update the central contract in SAP SRM as well.
I appreciate your input and comments.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

HI,
When ever a contract is uploaded to SRM MDM catalog and if this item is used in your SC from the catalog, your PO will have the contract price. Once the PO is order there will be a call off performed on the contract.
Hence whenever the ERP contract has a call off, automatic call off on the SRM cenrtal contract will also be performed.
Regards
Sam

Pricing in ERP ISA

Hi experts,
I'm using program ISA_CATALOG_REPLICATION to replicate the product catalog from ERP to TREX (no CRM involved at all). I would like to show zero price for some materials based on material sales data. It's unclear how to achieve this. Is it best to enhance the build catalog program (I have custom program to build the product catalog) or the replicate product catalog program? and how?
Could you please advise the best approach?
Thanks,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Please have a look of the below paragraphs and hope will help you.
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK (module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ) This user exit allows you to copy additional fields for pricing in the TKOMK communication structure (header fields), which have not been provided in the standard SAP system. These fields can also be used for pricing in the billing document. This user exit is described in detail in the "New fields in pricing" section.
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP (module pool SAPLV60A, program RV60AFZZ) This user exit allows you to copy additional fields for pricing in the TKOMP communication structure (item fields), which have not been provided in the standard SAP system. These fields can also be used for pricing. This user exit is described in detail in the "New fields in pricing" section.
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION (module pool SAPMV61A, program MV61AFZA) You can use this user exit to adjust the display of individual lines in the condition screen by changing the display attributes of the screen fields. This does not include the display of subtotals. This user exit is also used in order processing. USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_KZWI (module pool SAPMV61A, program MV61AFZB) You can change the display of subtotals in the condition screen by changing the display attributes of the screen fields. This user exit is also used in order processing.
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_KOPF (module pool SAPMV61A, program MV61AFZB) You can adjust the display of subtotals in the condition screen to your requirements by changing the display attributes of the screen fields. This user exit is also used in order processing.
USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFIC_LEER (module pool SAPMV61A, program MV61AFZB) You can adjust the display of blank lines in the condition screen to your requirements by changing the display attributes of the screen fields. This user exit is also used in order processing.
USEREXIT_PRICING_CHECK (module pool SAPMV61, program MV61AFZA) You can install additional checks to the standard checks of condition lines (e.g. maximum/minimum value).
USEREXIT_PRICING_RULE (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZA) In the standard SAP system, it is predefined which condition categories and classes can be copied or recalculated per pricing type. You can change the predefined standard procedure for each pricing type.
USEREXIT_CHANGE_PRICING_RULE (module pool SAPMV61A, program MV61AFZA) You can use this user exit to change the pricing type that has been predefined in the copying control table in billing.
USEREXIT_XKOMV_BEWERTEN_INIT (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) This field is used in the formulas and therefore initialized before the loop for the pricing procedure starts.
USEREXIT_XKOMV_BEWERTEN_END (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) Within a loop for the price components during pricing, specific values can be transferred into the communication structures in pricing to be further processed.
USEREXIT_XKOMV_ERGAENZEN (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) In change mode, you can change the dynamic part of the condition record (KONVD) that is always redetermined (i.e. it is not stored in database table KONV).
USEREXIT_XKOMV_ERGAENZEN_MANU (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) You can use this user exit to change the ready-for-input fields of the manually entered condition record in add mode in the condition screen.
USEREXIT_XKOMV_FUELLEN (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) This user exit is always called up during a redetermination of all or individual price components. You can change the work fields of the condition line. However, this only applies to conditions that have been determined via a condition record.
USEREXIT_XKOMV_FUELLEN_O_KONP (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZB) This user exit is always called up during a redetermination of all or individual price components. You can change the work fields of the condition line. However, this only applies to conditions that have been determined via a condition record. This may include subtotals, manually entered conditions or conditions that have been calculated with a formula.
USEREXIT_PRICING_COPY (module pool SAPLV61A, program RV61AFZA) You can change the KONV fields for copied price components

New Field Addition in Allowed Field Catalogs -Pricing.

*Hi,
We have requirement of having Material Description field in the Allowed Field Catalogs in SPRO --> SD --> Basic Functions --> Pricing --> Pricing Controls --> Define Condition tables --> Allowed Field Catalogs in order to fetch the same for Pricing Condition Table creation with Mtrl Description as Key Combination.
Hence, as a first step, have added the MAKTX field inside the "ZStructure" (which was created before) inside Main Structure KOMP and activated the same. Then i have added the same field MAKTX in Allowed Field Catologs of Pricing using New Entries.
Now i have tried to create a new Pricing Condition Table with field catalog of Material Description (the added field), but there is no such field is available for selection.
Is there anything i missed to do, so that the newly added field is available during New Condition Table Creation with key combination of the added field.
Appreciate your promot response.*
Rgds,

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
Have added the required field in Structure KOMG now and it is available for selection in Condition Table Field Catalogs. However, am allowed to select this field only when creating a New Condition Table and if i want to add this field in the already created condition table in change mode, it thows an error message - "Function Code cannot be selected".
How to proceed further.
Rgds,

Catalog pricing challenge (idml, xml, javascript solution?)

Greetings,
I have a very large challenge that i desperately need help with.
I am working on a 1000+ page catalog with over 30,000 products in it. The pages come to our studio from a master database much like the example image I have inserted below ---> and inline list of product names, images, Specs and Tables. We then apply formatting and arrange the items into a paginated layout. Basic InDesign stuff.
The problem comes at the end (After pagination of 1000+ pages). These files do not come in with final pricing and we then need to update it to reflect the current pricing for the items. We have been using a plugin that interfaces with our database to flow in pricing and it has worked O.K.(we have had many bugs along the way). We recently updated our database software and the ID plugin that goes with it and have lost the functionality to update pricing (UGGGGHHHH, they are "working on it") which renders this very expensive product useless. : ( sad face
We have researched a large number of 3rd party solutions (plugins, software, etc.) to change/enhance our workflow but unfortunately all of them have trouble interfacing with our database software and cannot be implemented without a very large, pricey and time consuming conversion. (trust me, I have done over 15 demos of all the major plugins and services, small to large)
My solution/workaround for this problem of updated pricing for 30,000+ products perhaps could be a simple solution that goes like this:
1. Receive ID CS6 files.
2. Complete pagination of IDCS6 files.
3. Export .idml for paginated files.
4. Export a mirrored IDCS6 file from the database with all the same data, images, tables, etc. with updated pricing.
5. Export .idml from mirrored file.
6. Convert both .idml files to .zip files and replace the .xml containing the Story Data (Located at Catalog_Paginated.zip\XML\Stories) with the exported Story data from the mirrored files .zip package
(Located again at Catalog_Mirrored.zip\XML\Stories).
7. Convert paginated files .zip back to .idml and open in IDCS6 which should now have the new Story data and in turn updated pricing.
I have tried this and in short I get a file that is hung up and will not open. Keep in mind that i do not do all 30,000 products in one ID file. They are exported in chunks of 20 to 30 products. This works perfectly on a small scale document such as in my attached example pic, but has trouble with a large file with more complex product data and tables.
This is where i need help. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Am I simply replacing the wrong .xml data in the .idml/.zip file? Is there a JavaScript solution to update/replace the .xml data?
I feel strongly that the robust data offered in the .idml format (perhaps in conjunction with a scripting solution) can offer an ideal solution in this problem as oppose to pursuing a costly and time consuming transfer to a new plugin/software solution.
I have some help from a very talented (and very busy) team of developers working on a JavaScript solution but I am pursuing this .idml solution myself and REALLLLLLY NEED HELP as we are falling behind in production as we speak.
In short, this should be simple. What am i doing wrong?

I oversee the catalog production for a major autoparts distributor here in the midwestern United States. Our catalog is 886 pages including an index. If you are looking for price updating for InDesign go look at this product called AutoPrice:
http://www.meadowsps.com/site/details/autoprice_detail.htm
What you might find unique with this product is the batch processing feature and reporting..In certain cases the reports this software generates has proven invaluable for for my team. If you say your catalog is 1000 pages you could easily update this in or around an hours time (via the batch processing feature). We've used AutoPrice since the dark days when Quark dominated the industry..probably around 15 years. This is also available for CS6 as you mention above. If you do look at this program it would be interesting to know how it turned out for your dilema. Good Luck!

Run time RFC communication error ERP ECO 7.0

Hi guys
We are using ECO 7.0 for ERP 6.0 and I can acess B2b site and take products into the basket without issues. But as soon as I click go to quotation, I get run time errors. Looking at the trace i found that issue is with jco exception at RFC_Error_CommunicationCPIC Call CRMRCV.
I then looked into ECC ST22 dump log and found that lots of dumps under user id sapsys for get crm release information. I am not sure why ECO is looking for CRM release when we dont have CRM in picture.
If you have encountered this issue, please let me know.
Regards
Jai

Following is the dump that I see in our ECC system
Function module "CRM_GET_TRANSFER_STRUCT" not found.
What happened?
The function module "CRM_GET_TRANSFER_STRUCT" is called,
but cannot be found in the library.
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPMSSY1" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
ror analysis
The program "SAPMSSY1" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.
The name of the function module to be called is "CRM_GET_TRANSFER_STRUCT".
No function module exists with the name "CRM_GET_TRANSFER_STRUCT".
All function modules are listed in the Function Library (SE37).

Special Catalog Pricing for Members?

Hi folks, My client wants to know if there is a way to have logged in members see wholesale pricing on jewelry, vs what the consumer sees. Dealers will be logged in. SInce the online catalog templates are universal, as well as the small and large item templates, is there a way to show wholesale pricing to a dealer?
I know there is retail and sales price options on the product info pages. We dont' want dealers to have admin access to the site, obviously.
TIA,
Jeff

HI Jeff, if you enable wholesaler discount on products, input that value when a person is marked as a wholesaler and log in they will see that discount.
For indervidual people if you look under their subscriptions you can give them percentage discount on catalogs.

Catalog Pricing

Hi there,
When I have created a Shopping cart and while it was still waiting for approval, the price of that item in the catalog is updated to a different price. Hence, when that particular shopping cart is approved, the price in the PO generated is not latest price as in the catalog. I am thinking to actually create a program to check if such case happens and when it happens, the program will issue error message.
Is anybody there has done similar things?
Regards,
Feri.

Hi Feri
This is a bug and pls raise a Oss message as well.
At my place this same thing with respect to curreny occurred.
Like when I create a SC in EUR and later I change to USD the price which is transferred in The PO was total irrelevant .
the SRM_RFC user use to change/ overwrite the price by itself and in PO put some new price which is not at all relevant.
Then in such cases we manually execute the FM
BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC
Enter the GUID and execute then it rectifys the price.
WE have posted it to OSS .

Transactions search in ERP ECO 5.0

Hello gurus
Is there a standard way (via XCM or other) to restrict the search results in B2B shop for quotations only to display quotes of a particular document type such as QT? In standard function, B2B shop is showing results for all quote types that are set up in ECC and have transactions against them in ECC. Ideally we would like the search results to show only the document type for quotes that is maintained in the shop maintenance.
Thanks much
Jai

Hi Jai,
First try to know your search criteria. You can know it by login by giving showmodulename=true go to Transaction Tab here you will see your search criteria name along with file name or if you have define shop component in XCM you can go to your XCM setting page go to Components --> Customer --> shop --> custom_b2b here you can check value in parameter documentsearch.name: this is your Search criteria.
If you are using B2B then it should be SearchCriteria_B2B_Sales
Now for test open generic-searchbackend-config.xml file from \WEB-INF\xcm\sap\modification\ folder.
In this file there are 3 main section depends on your back-end type as below.
1. <configs id="crmdefault">
2. <configs id="r3pidefault">
3. <configs id="r3gridpidefault" >
If you are using CRM as back end use 1 if backend is R3 use 2.
Now search below line of code under relevant section of configs id
<property-group name="SearchCriteria_B2B_Sales"
 useSearchRequestMemory="true"
 bodyInclTop="/b2b/order/GScommon_header.inc.jsp"
 bodyInclBottom="/b2b/order/GScommon_buttons.inc.jsp">
Below above line you will see allowed value entry
<allowedValue value="ORDER" description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val2" resultlistName="order_resultlist_B2B" default="true"/>
 
 <allowedValue value="QUOTATION" description="b2b.status.shuffler.key1val1" resultlistName="quot_resultlist_B2B"/>

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.

Is TREX required for the customer specific catalog views in SAP ERP E-com

Hi gurus,
I see there are few ramp-up sap notes for enabling the customer specific catalog views of Product catalog in SAP ERP E-commerce scenario.
Any one who has already implemented them know if TREX is mandatory for having catalog views?
specifically for XECOM 5.0 and ECC 6.0
Thank you

See [Note 696095 - ISA R/3 4.0: Collective note on Catalog Views|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/696095]
See the first line in the Reasons and Prerequisites:
Important: The catalog views functionality is only available from ISA 4.0 SP4 on, we recommend to use the latest SP. It is also only available with TREX as catalog engine
This is true for recent versions too.
The requirement is behind how the solution is implemented. VIEWS_ID is actually published to TREX for optimized extraction of customer views.

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.
Best regards,
Christoph

Crm mapping field for pricing

Hy Guy
In order to do download of pricing from erp to crm i have used the sap note 514952 - Download of customer-specific tables
I have a problem with a field MATKL that in CRM is ZMATKL; when i run the condition objet to update the custom table with this field, I don't have the complete field. In SAP the field is more long (mp00001).
I have other custom fields and I don't have this problem; the others fields are copied correctly.
Please, have you any advice to give me?
thanks in advance

Hi Valentina,
Not sure but the step 2 in the note says that the field name entered for remote field should be the field in structure CND_MAPT_ACS_REM , which you have set as MATKL and in structure you added ZMATKL which is wrong. Anyhow I think the field in the structure CND_MAPT_ACS_REM should be named as MATKL( note specifically speaks, the field name be the same as R/3 field name ) because in CRM field catalog you must have already created a new field as ZMATKL which is on CRM side.
component: R/3 field name.
component type : R/3 equivalent data element.
LFld: Field name you entered into field catalogue in step 2 .
FFld: R/3 field name you entered into structure CND_MAPT_ACS_REM_CUST in step 1.
May be this suggestion be helpful to you.
