Category Hierarchy Level

Hello there,
I am generating a custom site map cause I have custom URL for each level. On my service, I receive the RepositoryItem that is a category.
How can I know the in what level this category is inside a catalog (that is a RepositoryItem too) ?
Example:
Level1: Depto1
Level2: ---- Category1
Level3: ---- ---- Sub Category1
Level2: ---- Category2
Thanks.

As there is no direct way to know which level a category belongs for a catalog. the 2 possible solution I can think of are:
1. Define a persistent property to store level and set it when adding or modifying a category. Its very easy if you have category coming via a sync job.
If not you can add a CMSService to set this property after each deployment
2. Write a property descriptor which will return level for current user catalog. This can cause performance issue which can be mitigated by using it in combination of repository cache.

Merchandise category & hierarchy upload using LSMW???

Hi
I am trying to upload Merchandise category and hierarcy using LSMW (BAPI/IDOC method only).
For merhcandise category
I used message type W_WGRP and it is helping me in changing or reclassification of articles. But I am not able to create new merchandise category with this. I used structure E1BPE1WGR01 with "function" field with value "005, LSMW is working fine idocs are created successfully but no new Merc Cat is created.
When I used same structure with "function" field with value "009" I get error message "Class XXX does not exist or or is not valid on this date".
For Merchandise Catrgory Hierarchy
I used idoc CLSMAS but getting error message "Keyword missing for class XXX"
has anybody uploded entire hierarchy structure using LSMW ?

Sorry to say, but your problem is not resolved.
In IS-Retail, a merchandise category must first be created as a class (CLSMAS) and then also as a merchandise category (W_WGRP). Yes, you must process two IDoc per merchandise category, and in that order.
To understand how to load data using LSMW, the best approach to watch what the system does naturally. In this case, use T-Code WGSE to send the merchandise category hierarchy via ALE from one system-client to another. For understanding, you needn't configure the entire ALE scenario, just the outbound portion. Then watch the outbound IDocs be created; there's your example!
For merchandise category hierarchy (including merchandise categories), there are four message types that will be sent: W_WGRP, CHRMAS, CLFMAS, and CLSMAS.
IDoc Serialization using message types (serialization groups) is used when several different message types are dependent on each other, as is the case here. For example, if a merchandise category is assigned to a merchandise category hierarchy level, the merchandise category hierarchy level must first exist. How you use LSMW and IDocs is informed by the sequence.
To understand the IDoc sequence for creating the merchandise category hierarchy (including merchandise categories), use T-Code BD44 to view the Serialization Group GRP_W_WGRP includes the 4 desired message types in sequence:
CHRMAS04 Distr. of Characteristics with Dependencies and Long Texts
CLFMAS02 Master object classification
CLSMAS04 Classes with Long Texts, Document Links, and E1UPSLINK
W_WGRP01 Distribution of material groups
CHRMAS04 is only relevant of Characteristics are being assigned to merchandise categories. Let us leave Characteristics aside for now.
Step 1: Create Merchandise Category Hierarchy Nodes
Step 2: Merchandise Categories - Create as a Class
Step 3: Merchandise Categories - Change as a Retail MC
Step 4: Merchandise Categories - Assign Category Hierarchy Nodes each other, and assign MC class to MCH node.
For this, use these messages:
Step 1: CLSMAS04
Step 2: CLSMAS04
Step 3: W_WGRP01
Step 4: CLFMAS02

Table relationship between hierarchy level and merchandise category

1) Want to find Merchadise Category from Merchandise Hierarchy level which is attached with same Merchandise category.
I am having data/TABLE as below.
my input: M_WWG1C_class
i want to fetch data matkl in T023 or matkl in MARA for the same article within same merchandise category.
How i can have link?
2) i am having input CAWN_atwrt(Characteristic Value) and how i can reach matkl in T023 or matkl in MARA for the same article within same merchandise category.

Oracle does not support REPEATABLE READ transaction isolation level. It only supports SERIALIZABLE, READ COMMITED and READ ONLY isolation levels.
The default is READ COMMITED.
While the READ COMMITED can access all the committed data till the point of execution in transaction, READ SERIALIZABLE can access committed data till the point of start of transaction.
Another difference between two with respect to ROW LEVEL LOCKING is
Both read committed and serializable transactions use row-level locking, and both will wait if they try to change a row updated by an uncommitted concurrent transaction. The second transaction that tries to update a given row waits for the other transaction to commit or roll back and release its lock. If that other transaction rolls back, the waiting transaction, regardless of its isolation mode, can proceed to change the previously locked row as if the other transaction had not existed.
However, if the other blocking transaction commits and releases its locks, a read committed transaction proceeds with its intended update. A serializable transaction, however, fails with the error "Cannot serialize access", because the other transaction has committed a change that was made since the serializable transaction began.
Read following for clearing your concepts on transaction isolation levels and locking mechanisms

Find Merchandise category from hierarchy level

Hi Gurus,
In IS-Retail suppose we have two hierarchy levels 1 and 2 belonging to Merchandise category N.
Article N1 belongs to level 1 and article N2 belongs to level 2.
So is there any way of finding out the hierarchy level given the article N1 (for eg.) ?

Product Category Hierarchy - SRM

I have doubts on Product Category hierarchy....
1) As far as i understand whenever we replicate the material from Backend R/3 there is a product hiearachy created and assigned automatically. However, we also have the option of creating local hiearachies.
So, what i did was for the same product category i assigned two hierarchies. One the standard R3MATCLASS and other which i created manually in SRM. Then i assigned the two hierarchies while creating the material manually in SRM. However, i am not able to get the significance of this? Why has SAP provided this provision of having multiple hieararchies?
2) I read from the help portal in SAP that Product Hierarchy helps in determining the source of supply. I am not able to understand how that is possible. I have searched for documentation all around but could not find any?
3) In one of the forums i saw that one consultant activated the product hiearachy, then to his surprise the automatic sourcing configuration which he had done has not worked due to activation of hierarchies
Has anyone worked indepth in this field. Any inputs is greatly welcome as i am doing some indepth work on this
Thank You
Abhinandan

Hi
1)
2) Most of the time, We create multiple hierarchy levels in case of Extended Classic Scenario (ECS).
3) Might be due to some bug (some OSS note is missing here).

Product Category Hierarchy

Dear All,
i'm playing with Product Category Hierarchy in SRM 5.0. The Scenario i use is Extended Classic and in backend system we do not want to manage any Category Hierarchy. I created my SRM own Hierarchy starting from Product Category imported from back-end system. I have imported product category at first level and created 'stand alone' product category at subordinate levels. Unfortunatly what i want to have is the last level of my 'stand alone' Hierarchy related with back-end Product Category and not the root. I'd like to know if in your opinion we need to use the related Badi to re-map 'Stand alone' catagory to back-end's catagory or is possible to manage this mapping without the badi.
Award point for helpful answer.
Marco

Hi,
Did u find the solution?
I have similar requirement. I want to assign the backend pdt category to pdt category created locally in SRM.How can this be done?
Scenario -> Extended classic in SRM 5.0
1) Is it posible to do the assignment during the intial load? How abt using BBP_PRODCAT_HIER?
2) Is it posible to assign the already replicated pdt. categories to locally created pdt. category in SRM?
Please provide inputs on these...
Thanks,

Limitation on Hierarchy levels

Hi,
I want to find out what is the limitation on number of Hierarchy levels (Custom Hierarchies) that can be created in BO Universe?
And is this limitation oriented with the DB we connect?
As I am using Netezza DB so I want to know the number of hierarchy levels that I can create for objects in Netezza DB?

We have a BEx query, having 9 product Hierarchy levels. When we are creating Universe, there is no issue. But when we do integrity check, getting a lot of parse errors and could not make the universe to work.
Is there any limitation on number of herarchies to be supported from BEx query to Universe? Any OSS notes / Lessons learnt will be much appreciated. Please help urgently. Thanks.

Drill in BW hierarchy level in webi based on input control selection

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in Webi. The Webi report is based on BW hierarchy and it is using hierarhcy both in the report output block and also in the report prompts. We are are BI 4.0 SP5,Patch 6. The report has input controls in it based on the BW Hierarchy. When the report is first executed,the user can drill down the hierarchy by clicking on the "+" nodes to the max level as shown in the screenshot below.
Now, when the user selects an input control, the data gets filtered but the hierarchy level automatically expands. In other words, when they select a data hierarchy showed in the input control the hierarchy in table is shown expanded and they want to see the hierarchy in the table close automatically.
So ideally its like this when a value from input control is selected.
Whereas the user wants it to be like this automatically on selecting a particular value from the input control and not in expanded form.
I'm aware of the Hierarchy depth function but that only takes us to a particular node based on depth and then doesn't allow further drilling after that.
Is there any setting in webi/bex about always keeping all sub nodes closed to prevent this expansion on selection of input control?
Thanks and regards,
Abhishek

Just did some research on on this and the SAP best practice: The question itself is logically incorrect.
A report/table filter where there is a hierarchy may remove rows without respecting the hierarchy structure. For this reason, a filter can remove a parent node currently expanded and keep leaves or
nodes collapsed. To avoid returning an empty table in this case the system automatically expands the hierarchy in the block to shows the resulting members
Thats why it automoatically expands the hierarchy.
Closing this thread. Thanks.

Hierarchy Level in report

Hi GURUS,
I have a requirement in report i.e. I need to display the Hierarchy level from the 4th level only, I do not want to see the first 3 levels, where do I do the settings for that in reporting.
I was told that there can be some settings done in Hierarchy tab of that info object in report level in Values of Posted Nodes. But even that option is disabled. If this is the way I need to do it then how to enable that option or if there is a different option then would appreciate if you explain me in detail. Thanks in advance.

Hi ganesh,
for this same as normal procedure.. but in BEX analyser.. in the query designer window properties.. I mean select ur hierarchy and right click and > select Ristrict-> and there you can select particular level of nodes only...
so, there you can select all fourth level nodes..and drag and drop it into right side window... and save it.. and execute the query..
so, now you can get only Fourth level nodes only in the reporting level...
i think this will helpfull to u..if it's ok ... Reward me points..
Thanks

Main item and Hierarchy level items in SAP EWM

We use ERP SAP AFS and EWM 9.1
ERP sales order 20000 - 5PCS ( Different grid values chosen and delivery is distrubuted to EWM)
Outbound delivery order contains main item and corresponding SKU displayed with Grid values like Color, Cup and Size. (Hierarchy Level)
20000
20000-0001A30
20000-0001A32
20000-0001C34
20000-0001B36
20000-0001D38
We create Warehouse tasks for SKU items ( Items 60,70,80,90,100) for picking.
I need to process VAS activites for this.
Price labeling and putting on plastic bag for all SKU's ( 2 VAS activity).
I have maintained packaging specification and tried to process it.
But here I get an error in VAS order. Because WR Qty from ODO to VAS order is not copied. It is getting deleted at the time of VAS order creation.
Then I tried to maintain the packaging specification for item 20000 (main item) and process the VAS order. Here VAS order got created and WR Qty also displayed.
But Picking Warehouse tasks are created for SKU items not for main items. In this case I am not able to process it also.
Packaging specification for main item or SKU item I should consider? If it is for SKU , need to have lot of master data. Is there any link i can make maintaining packspec for main item and process the warehouse tasks for SKU.
Which way i have to go now?
Any suggestion please
Please ask me if you need more inputs

Hi Jobi,
I agree to Juergen, you'll need individual pack specs per subitem in order to process VAS on this level. Did you think of using batches and depending characteristics for the grid values? This is how EWM for Fashion works. Then you could define only VAS pack spec for multiple grid values.
Best regards,
Christian
Remark: did you consider EWM for Fashion for your implementation?

How to only display specific members from dissimilar hierarchy levels?

Hi,
I have a Business Partner that routinely wants to build a report that displays members from dissimilar hierarchy levels. For example, she wants to display member "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC" from level 8 and member "E090_ADVISOR SERVICES" from level 1. When she filters on just those two members, the reports displays as such:
She then must manually expand the "E020_CORPORATE AND EXECUTIVE" member 7 times to see "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC":
Is there anyway to make her life easier and have the report display only the "210_UNASSIGNED EXP/ACC" member and the "E090_ADVISOR SERVICES" member, even though they are from different levels?
Thanks,
Michael J Titera
BI4.0 SP8.3

Hello Michael
Displaying information from mixed hierarchy levels without the context of the parent members is a reporting workflow best suited to WebI and CR. The AOLAP content can be exported as an Analysis View and then this becomes a data source for WebI and CR.
Our previous product Voyager used to allow member selection from mixed levels without the context of parent members but it caused a lot of confusion and misinterpretation of the data, which is why we deliberately do not have it in AOLAP.
Worth noting that BI4.1 was a big release for AOLAP with many enhancements. One is "Expand to Level". So instead of having to click 7 times to expand the hierarchy, it now just requires one mouse right-click to do the same thing.

Ian

Regd:hierarchy level query

hi friends,
i have a one employee table.
empid mangid.
1 0
2 1
3 2
i wanted display hierarchy level of the employee like..
wanna display uppper & lower mangid of employee.
if suppose i pass empid=2
then it should display hierarchy like...
managerid
0
3
because empid=2 parent of empid=3 and Chiledid of mangid=0.

Hi,
For this you have to use Connect by clause and Start with Class ,
Using This we can get Hirarical Data.]
SELECT empno,
ename,
job,
mgr,
hiredate
FROM emp
START WITH mgr IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR empno = mgr
try like this
Thanks,
