CCM2.0 and MDM catalog

Hello,
does anybody know, if it is possible to implement <u>CCM 2.0 and MDM catalog together </u>on SRM Server 5.5?! Or does they exclude each other?
Kind Regards
J.H.

Hi JH,
Yes, it is technically possible to implement both CCM and MDM together for one SRM system. Think of them as being two different data sources for your SRM transactional system.
The only question that remains - what is the business or technical reason to have two types of internal catalogs for one SRM system.
Cheers,
Serguei

What is the diff bet CCM catalog and MDM catalog?

Hi Friends
What is the diff bet CCM catalog and MDM catalog?
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
CCM & SRM-MDM are SAP Catalog Content Management solutions.
In basic terms, MDM is latest solution & will be replacing CCM. All new features like service hierarchies are included in MDM 3.0.
CCM: upload, manage, and search in procurement catalogs.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/index.htm
MDM: Search, compare, and procure products from suppliers.
It provides:
Catalog content management functions, such as the import of catalog structures or data, the transfer of catalog items to a procurement application, and search functions
Procurement catalogs
Supplier catalogs in a Web-based environment
The SRM-MDM Catalog is based on functions provided by SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) and bundles together in one specific application those SAP NetWeaver MDM functions required for catalog content management.

SRM and MDM Catalog issues

Hi
We are experiencing an unique problem.
We have SRM 4.0 with MDM 1.0 as Catalog?
One of the issues that we are facing is price for items in held shopping carts. changes whenever MDM Catalog is refreshed.
We refresh our MDM catalogs twice a week.
So when a user who has a held shopping cart changes the shopping cart
the price of existing items in the cart changes.
All help/advice on this issue is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikhil

hi Jorge,
Can you elaborate on response?
How do i check the if in BBP_WS_ENTITY_V update view the field OCI_VALIDATE in the record corresponding to your catalog has the value?
Note the price of the item in catalog is same ....but for some reason the one in held shopping cart changes after the catalog is refreshed.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi Mandy,
You can do this:
On the MDM Console, right click on the Repository -> Properties -> PDF -> Allow invalid PDFs -> Yes .
Alternatively,
You can also find some information about it on https://service.sap.com/srm within this link on the left frame go into
mySAP Supplier Relationship Mgmt --> mySAP SRM in Detail --> SRM 5.0 --> Catalog Content Management --> SRM-MDM Catalog and you will get the document.

SRM-MDM-Catalog and XI using HTTP

I need to do a integration between SRM 5 and SRM-MDM-Catalog using XI.
I imported the SRM-MDM-Catalog packages into the XI and I saw that all connections with MDM are using FTP in the comunnication channel template.
Is it possible to do connections for MDM using http or soap?

As far as I know using Files is how XI interacts with MDM. All scenarios I have seen on SDN have been with File adapter being used on MDM 's side.
Maybe there is a way , am watching this thread as well.

Central Contract, MDM Catalog, and classic scenario

Dear SAP experts,
We are in SRM 7.01 with backend ECC 6.05 deploying classic scenario. We are using Central Contract Management in which we negotiate contract in SRM and later distribute it to ECC. We also plan to use SRM-MDM Catalog.
We notice that if we are using classic scenaro, the contract that is used as reference is the contract number in ECC (the one distributed from SRM). So at first we assume that if we want to push the contract data to MDM, we should have pushed the ECC Contract number. However we find out that actually SAP block the ECC Contract coming as distribution from SRM to go to MDM.
Our second option is to use distribution of contract from SRM to catalog. It does using SRM contract number. We create SC and then we pull the catalog item from the catalog (which contain SRM contract number) and then we order. However we end up with 'error in process' in which the system try to create a PR instead in the ECC (meaning that the contract number cannot be read).
We're puzzled with this. How can we use the combination of central contract, MDM catalog and classic scenario? Can we use the combination?
Best regards,
John

Maria
If you want the contracts to be in SRM and do not want them to send to Backend, then check this out.
Create a Vendor list for those items in SRM by assigning the local contracts to the vendors.Activate Vendor list for sourcing.
Then local contract data should pick as SOS from the vendor list.
If you can create contracts in Backend for stock material then SC would pick the backend contract as SOS in classic scenario.
Let me know if the above works or not.
PS : Reward points if helpful.

Transfer master data such as contacts and products from SRM to MDM catalog

Hi! We have a client who is not using PI as their middleware. They are using SRM 7 with SRM-MDM catalogue. My question is: do we definitely need PI in order to distribute product master and contract data to the catalogue? When programs such as BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG and MECCM are run, is the data passed on to PI automatically? Or do they just generate an XML file in a designated location which we then use to upload to SRM-MDM Catalog? In this case, I suspect we can use other middleware to handle the upload into the catalog?
Appreciate clarification on the above.
Thanks!
SF

Hi,
PI is required. Mapping is executed in PI.
If you do not want to have PI, you can develop custom extractor and mapping.

SRM5.0 with MDM Catalog

Hi,
I would like to know following questions :-
1, Do I need to replicate/bring master data (vendor, product category, material) from ECC6.0 to MDM Catalog if I need to implement MDM Catalog? Already SRM is having master data (replicated from ECC6.0).
2. I believe in CCM2.0 I don't have to replicate master data and just need to upload catalog. CCM was able to use SRM server master data,
3. My client is usuing MDM extensively and when we go for MDM Catalog, will it be totally seperate system from MDM SAP they are usuing?
Thnaks,
Rajan

Hello Michelle,
When you download the business content of SRM-MDM then you will find the MDM installables also.
This does not mean that you have to install the seperate instance of MDM Server.
It is not necessary that you have to use the seperate instance of MDM Server for the MDM Catalog Scenario.
But If you can use the seperate instance of MDM Server for SRM-MDM Catalog then you can, it will be good.
Just match the version of MDM installables which is in the Business content of SRM-MDM Catalog with the version of MDM Server which you are using. this is because of the business content contains some scar files to be deployed on WAS which is dependent on the MDM Server version. So check If both are same than you can use the same MDM Server for SRM-MDM Catalog Scenario.
For the verion mapping of SRM-MDM Catalog with MDM 5.5, you can refer the following SAP Notes:
Version mapping SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0 to SAP MDM 5.5--> 1082069
Version mapping SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 to SAP MDM 5.5--> 1083126
I hope this will clear your doubt.

ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog. But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiv,
Many thanks for your reply.
Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Andreia

SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
Thanks and regards

Hi Diego.
The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
Step 1: Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
Step 2: Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
Step 3: Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
Step 4: Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
Step 6: Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
Relating Masa's path with the above steps
User ->
Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
(Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
MDM Server -> Step 2
MDM Repository -> Step5
DB-> Step 1
Hope this helps.

SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape

Hi,
We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
Server 1 : SRM 5.0 Running   (HP-UX)
Server 2:   Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components (HP-UX)
Server 3:   Standard MDM Server installation (Windows 2K)
We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
My questions are :
1)   Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
2)   Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
3)   Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Raymond

Hi Foh,
Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling. Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).

Installation of SRM MDM Catalog

Hi SAP Mentors,
We are installing SRM MDM Catalog. I needed some clarification regarding the same. The version for SRM MDM Catalog is 7.02. Do I need a SRM 7.02 server with MDM 7.1 installed on it , on which I will be putting SRM MDM Catalog?
Please let me know as we need to start installation Monday. The docs are not very clear.
Thanks,
Asad

Zafar,
Yes. You need to have same release including the patch level. We experienced similar scenario and resolved all issues only after syncing the release and SP level.
hope it helps.

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Laurent.
