CCM - need advise on procurement catalog

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating catalog using CCM for different legal entities. As I undrestand, I can either creating various master catalog views or different procurement catalogs so that I can control users only see the content belongs to his/her own legal entity. But I'm not sure what is the best way.
Can somebody help to advise which one is better, creating different master catalog view or creating procurement catalogs? Or is there any other good solutions?
Thanks so much.

Hi Masa,
Thanks so much for your answer. It proved some of my thoughts. But my case is not that simple.
First of all, item price might not be same, but it should be able to be separated by different suppplier number;
Second, some companies will use same category structure but a few may use a different one. But as I see, most of structure should be very similar. In this case, is it a better idea to use one master catalog and multiple views? Or, can I use procurement catalog for a few companies but others use different master catalog views?
And I have two more questions:
1. After a catalog is created, can catalog ID be changed? Our master catalog ID is not very proper, so I am wondering whether I can change it.
2. For category structure, can one product category show under multiple parent categories? If yes, how to realize it?
Thanks a lot!

CCM automated (batch) upload program to Procurement Catalog

Hello to all,
There does not appear to be a report to enable an automated (batch) upload program to a CCM Procurement Catalog. This is a problem for customers who need off-hours periodic updating of their procurement catalog.
Has anyone encountered this problem and has found or developed a solution?
Thanks in advance for you help and comments.
Frank Heisner

Frank: to clarify things, the process is to upload content into Supplier Catalogs, and then map to Master and Procurement.
And you're correct - there is no standard report for uploads. But you can develop a custom one. An example of such can be found in the <a href="https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002122802006E/CCM_Migr_enhanceMarch_9th.ppt">Requisite-to-CCM Migration Toolkit</a>.

CCM - content of customer characteristic not mapped to procurement catalog

Hi experts,
I uploaded a sample CSV-file supplier catalog. Within the supplier catalog I defined a customer characteristic of type /CCM/ATTACHMENT.
The supplier catalog is uploaded without any problems and also the /CCM/ATTACHMENT characteristic is filled correctly with description, mime type and URL.
I mapped now the supplier catalog to the master catalog and then to the procurement catalog.
All the content except the content of the customer characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMNENT is mapped to the master and procurement catalog. The characteristic /CCM/ATTACHMENT is available in the master and procurement catalog and I can even see the characteristic there. But no content is in there.
Are there any additional steps when I try to map customer characteristic? The characteristic is in definitely available in the master and procurement catalog schema and catalog.
Thanks in advance for your help! I will reward points.
Tom

Hi,
Try select both the characteristic in mapping, do "Assign Characteristics" for automatic characteristic assignment, include sub categories and SAVE.
A message will appear for assigning characteristic, then go for MAP CONTENT all items will be mapped and will be obtained in Procurement catalog.

Oracle Procurement/Sourcing :- Need advise on an implementation design

Dear Guru's,
Need advise on an implementation design
Problem Summary :-
Our client(say "X") is contracted to perform certain business functions for their client (Say"Y")
Say "X" is do sourcing (RFP,RFQ) functions till PO creation,receiving in a excel based custom application ( Not through oracle EBS) for client "Y".
So "X" is not responsible for paying for those services and "Y" pays for those receipts.
We want to implement Oracle EBS Advance procurement solution for their above functions and replace the custom application processes.
But client "X" is not accepting advance procurement solution as they("X") are not paying for the services and they don't want to fit this solution in Oracle EBS as this may cause legal issues.
Questions:-
1. Whats the best design solution for this type of scenario to fit the custom process into Oracle EBS procurement ?
2. Can we follow the sourcing implementation process(RFQ/RFP)-> PO Creation-> PO receipts-> AP Invoice matching in Oracle EBS and is there a way to nullify this transaction in Oracle so that there will not be any legal issues? May be creating credit memo/AR invoice etc...
Appreciate your help!
Thanks
Karthik

Hi All,
Once basic question on the centralized procurement model. Please advise.
Scenario :- Two OU(OU1- Requesting OU and OU2- Purchasing OU) Scenaio:-
1
Purchase Requisition in OU1
2
AutoCreate PO in OU2
3
Approve PO in OU2
4
Receive the material in INV1 of OU1
5
Supplier sends the invoice to OU2
6
Cost the transactions
7
Run ‘Create Intercompany AR invoices in OU2
8
Run ‘Auto Invoice Master Program in OU2
9
Run ‘Create Intercompany AP invoices in OU1
10
Run ‘Expense Report Import in OU1
Question:-
1. After step 5(Supplier sends the invoice to OU2) who will do the payment for supplier and what's the process?
2. I could see the intercompany invoice process in further steps which creates invoices, but not sure on how supplier payments are paid.
In which step the paymens(Supplier, Intercompany) are processed.
Please advise!
Thanks

SRM - CCM 1.0 - How we can recover deleted procurement catalog

Hi,
We are using CCM1.0.
Is there any method to recover deleted procurement catalog?
Appropriate answer will be rewarded.
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to World of SRM !!!
I don't think it's possible to recover the deleted catalogs. Anyways, will try to find something and come back on this.
Meanwhile, have a word with SAP, by raising a Customer OSS Message on this as well.

Deleting all items in a Procurement Catalog

I loaded a Procurement Catalog with new data via supplier catalog => master catalog => procurement catalog. There were some problems with the original data, however now I loaded it 3 times and many of the items in the Procurement catalog are tripled!
How can I just delete all the items in the Procurement Catalog and republish from the Master catalog? That way the tripled items (and some old corrupted items) will all go away and I can start fresh. We have CCM .
Thanks,
Laetitia

Once you archive than oyu can create new PI document for the same mateirals.
For archiving you need to set up the
Instead of MM-MATBEL select Physical iunventory object then follow
Presently trying to archive material documents through SARA and using object MM_MATBEL. Is this only for inventory maange ment or mat doc generated through process orders can also be archived (transaction type WR).
For variant picking the document on the date basis. But when execute it says no document found while documents are there in the MKPF table.

Not able to view catalogs in CCM after clicking on "edit catalog"

Hi all,
I am not able to view a single catalog (supplier, procurement or master) in CCM after clicking on edit catalog.
After clicking on "start" pushbutton, it is giving warning message "Error while editing Master catalog"
Could anybody tell me, what would be the problem ??
Thanks in advance.

Vivek !!

Hi Jason,
Thanks for reply and solution.....
but this problem is only for my user ID and not for all other user ID.
when we tried with other user IDs, all the catalogs are in green state and working fine. For my ID I am not able to view any catalog into edit catalog screen. When I am trying to search any catalog it is giving me warning message "Error in master catalog". When checked in SLG1 I got error as "catalog (catalog name) not found".
Is it related to any user setting or like that... as this is the issue with my individual ID.
Please suggest.
Thanks !

Master Catalog = Procurement Catalog

Hi SRM Gurus,
Whenever I create a Master Catalog it is becoming as Master Catalog ( Procurement Catalog).
In the first screen dropdown, in Edit catalogs, if I select the Procurement Catalog, then my Master Catalog is also being shown.
I want to know whether our master catalog is also considered as procurment catalog only.
I have other procurement catalogs available in our system.
We are working in SRM 4.0 and CCM 2.0 version.
Reg.,
Sridhar.

Hi,
The Master Catalog is a procurement catalog, it differs very little from any other procurement catalog in the system, one main difference is probably related to mapping, i.e. that in the procurement catalog you define mapping 'From', in the Master catalog you define no mappings as it is the central repository, i.e. data is either mapped into or from it, none of these definitions are ever processed in the Master though only in the Supplier/Contract/Extracted or Procurement catalogs.
If you change the name of this Master Catalog in customizing it will render the 'Old' master catalog as a Procurement catalog in your system so you will see what appears sometimes to be two masters!!

Jason

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

I am using Lightroom 3 and need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4.

I need to access a catalog I created with a trial version of Lightroom 4. I am currently using Lightroom 3. Can someone help me find a way to get my images from this catalog? I don't want to upgrade at this point as I am running on a mid 2007 iMac and would need to buy new RAM, upgrade my OS, etc.... I would rather wait and spend the money on a new system when I'm ready.

Hi Rikk,
I just saw your answer to Deborah,
Does this mean catalogs not backward compatable in regards to metadata and keywords as well?
I am working on a giant archiving project here in India. The main system here is a Mac G5 Tower at 10.6.8, and it's running LR 3.2. I have my MacBook Air here, running Mavericks and LR 4.4.1.
I want to take the archive catalog OFF of LR 3.2, put it on the Air, running 4.4.1 - then ADD metadata and keywords to the catalog images while on the Air and THEN re-install/import/export/etc the catalog back to the main tower LR 3.2 with out starting a huge problem of version/upgrades/etc. That way another person can be using the tower to scan while I do keywords.
I have only a week more here for this project. If anyone knows asap would be great. Thanks in advance.

SD Process Design for Plantation industry - need advise

Hi all experts,
I am implementing for a crude palm oil plantation company, in which the general flow of the sales process from Estate to the Milling Plant is as below:
Sales Order --> Delivery Order* --> PGI --> Billing*
Sales Order: The fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is harvested and then the amount required by the Buyer is fulfilled via creation of a sales order.
Delivery Order: At this stage, it will interface with the Weighbridge system to carry out the recording of delivery quantity. Truck without the FFB is weighed once at entrance of the estate, and truck with FFB is weighed at exit at estate.
PGI: Goods Issue is carried out with the recording of the actual quantity from the weighbridge interface back to SAP.
Billing: The billing doc is created based on PGI quantity done.
This looks pretty straightforward, but there are few concerns from the above process as highlighted in the asterisk (*) section:
Issues:
1. During the Delivery portion, data of the Driver, name, person loading and weight loaded need to be recorded at the same time to carry out the incentive payment to the drivers (both internal and external drivers) with incentives calculated on per tonnage basis.
2. Secondly, during Billing process, the amount payable would be calculated based on the grading of the FFB + the which year the FFB is planted (i.e. different year would have different pricing per ton).
Need advise on how to make the above two issues work smoothly along with the process above.
Opinion, comments and feedbacks is much appreciated.
Thanks.

The loader and driver data is integrated to PP and the HR master module is leveraged to maintain driver/loader data master and payment is made to driver via customized program with customised calculation of salary.
The FFB is handled using PP module for Production and material posted via MIGO in MM and increases stock take manually.
SD to handle sales of finished goods instead..

My ID files will no longer open?: I need to update our catalog. Please help

My archived ID Files will no longer open in ID 2014. Please help, I need to update our catalog.

If the files come from very old versions, like pre-CS (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) you have to open them in older versions of InDesign first. Try to open them in CS6 (this is the oldest version which comes with the CC subscription), otherwise go back to CS4 which could open every previous version and save it with the version you use.

Need to create internet catalog

I need to create a catalog that will have several hundred
items that can be seen on my site or downloaded as a pdf. Is there
a Dreamweaver extension or even a stand-a-lone product that builds
a catalog with a navagation system and also prints to a pdf? When I
make changes on the web, I want to update the pdf version at the
same time. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Need advise, I have purchased compressor 4.1 to compress my movie file, particularly MKV files. Problem is, that the software freezes when trying to import the 10GB MKV. Any one that can help?

Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup

I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good. Never operate Heavy Machinery without enough rest. Cheers
