Category, SubCategory, and Classification OO design

Hi guys,
I am really stuck in designing the OO way for product category, subcategory and classification stuff like that. I need something like this:
http://list.auctions.shopping.yahoo.com/sg/0-submit.html
Can somebody recommend the best way to design OO like that? This is because some category may have 5 level down to it subcategory but some don't. Appreciate some comment given here. Thanks !
regards,
Mark

Thanks a lot man....i found a book called Head First
Design Pattern and there's a Composite Pattern inside
! But is it recommended to use composite pattern in
Hibernate ?Not sure that I understand your question.
If you're asking if there will be any difficulty in mapping the OO model to database tables via Hibernate, this is precisely one of the issues that Hibernate aims at solving.

How can you create a new category list and attach it to a new incident template

We intend to create helpdesks for various teams e.g. Facilities, IT, HR etc and allow staff to email separate email addresses via the exchange connector. So incidents get assigned to separate queues categorised via the support group set in the
assigned template used by the connector. I want separate category lists for each template so IT staff don't see Facilities categories etc. This all works apart from having separate Incident classification lists attached to the appropriate template.
Thanks
David

So I suppose I have to do something similar to the blog post below. I assume that if I create a new 'facilities incident' class I can create a distinct category list and attach that to a template without showing the default category list?
Thanks

BP created with category Person and BP Role Consumer is not replicated

Hello Gurus,
I have created a BP with Category Person and BP Role Consumer but after saving my BP is not getting
replicated to ERP, though in the Clasification Tab i could see consumer is being selected and the Account
group 0170 - Consumer showing up.
I have also checked in PIDE transaction in ERP system this Account group has clasification E which is Consumer.person,and as numbe range is assigned to this Account group
i have checked in middleware there is an error message which says "BP XXXX doesnt not exist as customer,change not possible" and aslo one more message which says "no classification is assigned to BP"
any customizing is missing in CRM system, or only customiaing required is in ERP only?
Thanks and Regards
chandu

Hi,
With respect to your question on below link.
Re: BP created with category Person and BP Role Consumer is not replicated
Please find the below path in ECC
SPRO>Logistic General>Business Partner>Customer>Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Customers.
Select 0170 Consumer account grp and click on details. You will see the Number range in General Data.
Copy that number range and goto below path and check if the number range is internal or external.
SPRO>Logistic General>Business Partner>Customer>Define and Assign Customer Number ranges. The popup will appear and select Define Number ranges for customer master. Click on display intervals. You will see the number range is mainatined internal or external.
Hope this helps.

Adding SupportGroup and Classification as a column in List of Incidents report in SCSM 2012 SP1.

Hi Team,
We have a requirement to add SupportGroup and Classification as a column in the "List of Incidents" report. WE know that we need to modify the stored procedure to make these columns available in the Dataset. Or can we link 2 dataset in the tablix
in SSRS.
Regards,
Dinesh
Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

I have solved it myself by adding few lines in stored procedure. Would like to share the solution, so that it will be helpful for others.
Open the stored procedure which we are using for the default "List of Incidents" reports.
Add the below under SELECT
SupportGroup = ISNULL(TierQueuesDS.DisplayName, TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesValue),
TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesId AS TierQueuesId,
Classification = ISNULL(ClassificationDS.DisplayName, ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationValue),
ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationId AS ClassificationId,
Add the below under FROM
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.IncidentTierQueuesvw AS TierQueuesEnum
ON TierQueuesEnum.IncidentTierQueuesId = I.TierQueue_IncidentTierQueuesId
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringDimvw TierQueuesDS
ON TierQueuesEnum.EnumTypeId=TierQueuesDS.BaseManagedEntityId
AND TierQueuesDS.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.IncidentClassificationvw AS ClassificationEnum
ON ClassificationEnum.IncidentClassificationId = I.Classification_IncidentClassificationId
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.DisplayStringDimvw ClassificationDS
ON ClassificationEnum.EnumTypeId=ClassificationDS.BaseManagedEntityId
AND ClassificationDS.LanguageCode = @LanguageCode
Then open the report from Report Builder and add new column in the design. Add Support Group and Classification as a column in the report.
Thanks & Regards, Dinesh

I managed to fix my issue by coping the Client, ClientUpgrade, and Scripts from the files from SCCM install discs folder SMSSETUP to c:\program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager folder. I noticed that some of the files in the scripts
folder was missing and I copied the other folders over because I felt that maybe my local copy of the Client installer where missing some key files as well. Once I did that and disabled software update push, restarted the wsus computer, and re-enabled
the software update push it was able to publish the client and start installing it that way.
I thing the initial log messages where pointing me in the wrong direction for a few hours because I was thinking it was permissions as well and kept trying to figure that out but in the end I do not believe any of that was the reason I was receiving the
same error as you where.

Derive the category/subcategory from the product hierarchy (PRDHA)

Hi,
Is there a function module/table/transaction where I can derive the category/subcategory from the product hierarchy (PRDHA)?
Thks,
William

Hi,
I do see entries in /n/sapapo/relhshow. I don't see how the production hierarchy (Seen in /sapspo/mat1 under the properties tab) relates to it.
There is no F1 on that field in /sapapo/mat1 unfortunatly, so it acts like a free-form text field, as far as I can see. I changed it to a random value and it allowed me to save it, so it looks like there's no validation on the field?

How can i create an album with chose category list and next/previous button

hello guys im working on a project for my uni i finished the whole website but one thing is missing
i need to create a photo album with next and previous button, with choosing a category and inside each category i have like 5 pictures and i can change with the next/previous buttons to see another picture of the same category.
Please see the picture below to see what i mean.
some told me it needs flash but i dont know how to work on it :S so plz if anyone can help me
thank you

Dear Mr. Murphy,
thank you for your help.
Actually i have tried to search for a tutorial and i found that one that was very helpful and gave me the half solution. the part i found and it worked with me is the part of the next and previous buttons and moving from an image to another.
SO the part i still need is the list so when i click on a category i get the pictures of the chosen category, I had the idea of create a flash for each category alone and maybe i will be able to add them all together.
But i guess it's too much work and there must be a way where i can make it all in one flash file.
If you have any idea let me know please, thank you again for your help and i'm trying to search for the AS3 image gallery as you told me.

PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

Dear Experts
When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
Any input on this please.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
There are two indicators
1. Good receipt
2. GR non-valuated.
If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.

Step-by-step process of grouping Items in Category Sets and more accurately into the correct Category

Honestly, I have never had a customer ask me 'how' do I identify which Items go together in a specific category. I am thinking I start with the Functional Area (Inv, PO, OM, WM, etc..) attributes, and start the grouping there. The customer is asking for "best practices" - any input would be appreciated.
I have a fresh install of Oracle Inventory, Purchasing, Order Management, Service - We have 2,000,000 part numbers.
How have you instructed your customers/clients (both Internal and External) in the PROCESS of categorizing all of their Items?
What is the Step-by-step process of grouping those 2MM items into accurate Category Sets and more accurately into the most correct Category.
I would 'assume' it would start with some analysis with all the Items listed with all the item attributes, and start with ECCN (for example) or Item Type grouping. Then...(?)
Thanks!

No answer to No.1 but I really want to find it out too.
No.2
If you already know list of the categories & ID you can manually create a list of checkboxes
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89081" />
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89082" />
<input type="checkbox" name="CAT_Category" value="89083" />
something like that should work

Sorting of Sum Totals at category & subcategory levels in Answers -Resubmit

I am resubmitting this as there with some alignment issues in the previous text. I am not able to get it in proper order here so have identified the category & sub category by bold & italics.
I have a requirement where i need to sort by $$ within a category and sub category, first i need to show the highest YTD $$ under the category with total & the sub categories also should be sort as given in the example, GM having the highest value is in top, in the same way AT&T having the highest value is at the top.
Category Sub Category YTD $$ by S
Automobile GM 12000
Toyota 10000
Honda 8000
Automobile Total 30000
Telecom AT&T 10000
Verizon 8000
Sprint 5000
Telecom Total 23000
I am able to achieve this if i do it at the Category level, and the sub category is sorted in alphabetical order and not by YTD $$ and the moment i add the sorting to the Sub category, it shows category & the sub category totals as individual line items instead of single category & multiple sub-categories .
Thanks again for your time & help!!

Thanks for the response, i can only select a value from the dimension if i select Sort Order, but the YTD value is from the fact. Let me try to show the requirement here again as in the last mail somehow the format was not correct. The text in bold refers to the Category & the text in italics refers to the sub category.
Category Sub Category YTD $$ by S
Automobile GM 12000
Toyota 10000
Honda 8000
Automobile Total 30000
Telecom AT&T 10000
Verizon 8000
Sprint 5000
Telecom Total 23000
The category with the largest total should be at the top and within the category, the sub category with the max $$ should be at the top.

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Business delegate and Session facade design patterns

Does any one tell me, what is the difference between business delegate and session facade design patterns.

1. Session Facade decouples client code from Entity beans introducing session bean as a middle layer while Business Delegate decouples client code from EJB layer ( Session beans).
2. SF reduces network overhead while BD reduces maintenance overhead.
3. In SF any change in Session bean would make client code change.
While in DB client is totally separate from Session bean because BD layer insulate client from Session beans(EJB layer).
3. In only SF scenario, Client coder has to know about EJB programming but BD pattern no EJB specialization needed.
4.SF emphasizes on separation of Verb, Noun scenario while BD emphasizes on separation of client(presentable) and EJB layer.
Anybody pls suggest more differences ?

What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

Hi Friends
What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
Regards
Chinna Krishna

Hi Chinna
Here are my two cents on this questions
1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
- Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
- Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
- Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
- Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
Its a long answer and hope it helps you.
