Configurable Product in SAP CRM 5.0

Hi All,
I'm using CRM 5.0.
In CRM 5.0, i should download material, sce, and condition type from R/3 or ECC.
Is it possible for create material, sce, and condition type in CRM? Is it possible for create configurable product in CRM? Not download from R/3 or ECC.
If possible, In which t-code should i access in CRM?
Thanks.

Hi Fariz,
In sapgui, you can use transaction commpr01 to create products. Once you click on create button, you will be asked to enter product category. Next to that will be a check box named 'Configurable', which you can check to make the product configurable.
For more info on Product creation, you may also refer to the foll link:

Hope this helps.

How can we create Versions for Products in SAP CRM

Hi All,
We want use Product Versions in our CRM IC Webclient. We want to be able to select a product and then have a list of versions to pick from. Can anyone tell me if they have configured Versions for Products in their SAP CRM system. If yes, then how did you go about it.
Thanks,
Ramesh Nallabelli

Hi Arup and Shanthala,
Thanks for the prompt responses. Appreciate your help. We want to create Product versions like this: Product: Windows OS Version: 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, etc.
When I try to create a configurable product, using the Configuration tab, to create or use a product model I see an error message: PME installation with errors The long text is: The environment variable PME_HOME that includes the PME application has to exist locally in order to start the PME from CRM.
This indicates the configuration of IPC in our CRM system. This is something that we have not undertaken so far.
When I use the Poduct Variants tab to create a product variant for a configurable product, I can't edit here. This view opens in a display only mode. After reading some more about this, It looks like variant configuration needs to be used in tandem with ERP variant configuration. There might also be a need to recreate this in the Java configuration engine. We are going to create these products in CRM only, so this might not work for us.

Ramesh

Creation of new product hierarchy and products in SAP CRM.

Dear all,
please help with resolving of following issue:
In CRM system base hierarchies were replicated from R/3 system with materials. Current requirement is to create new materials in CRM directly (as standalone scenario). As far as I understand, I have to create new hierarchy with required list of set types in order to allow creation of products in CRM directly (product type = material). Can anybody describe changes in the system step by step, what should be changed and where?
As a result I need to have a possibility to create products in CRM directly for sales scenario processing.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Jorge,
thank you so much for your reply!
Here what I tried to do:
1. I created new category in hierarchy R3PRODSTYP, added 3 set types: COMM_PR_MAT, COMM_PR_SHTEXT, COMM_PR_UNIT as basic set types.
2. In the SPRO - Cross-Application Components - SAP Product - Settings for Product Type - Number Assignment - Define Number Ranges for the Product Type "Material" I found my new product category is unassigned, so I assigned it to the "CRM Products" group.
3. Farther I tried to create a new product for created category in CRM Web UI, but was not able to find it in the Base category search field. All categories correctly displayed from R3PRODSTYP, but my new category is absent. What can be the reason of category absence? Btw, it cannot be found even when I try to display whole hierarchy in Web UI, however, in SAP GUI, it can be seen via tcode comm_hierarchy.
Here is the setup of hierarchies in the system:
I have no idea how to check #3 "Ensure the hierarchy is assigned to CRM application".
Can you please suggest, what should be changed in addition? Thank you!

Need to call a configuration dynamically in SAP CRM 2007

Hi,
I need to call one configuration dynamically. In the runtime one configuration should be called upon fulfilling some conditions.
I need your help regarding this.
Points, Guaranteed.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
We have made a solution where we call different configurations based on the UI object type. In the IMG entry called "Define UI Object Types" you can create a new custom object type. This you can use when you configure your view in transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB. Here you then copy your standard configuration to a new one. In the new one you set Object type = the object you have created in customizing. And config key you set to the same as you normally use. Then you have two different configurations that can be called depending on your requirements. We call it based on the business role of the users. But you can of course yourself determine on what criteria the method should call one or the other configuration.
In the method you will need to set the variable cv_object_type to the name of your own object type. Then the system will use this key to determine the configuration. After implementation you will see that it uses this object type by clicking F2 button in the UI.

Variant Configuration in SAP CRM

Hello all
My client is currently using SAP R/3 4.7 and heavily use VC for configurable products and also for pricing but in the process of moving to ECC
Now we wish to explore the possibility of using SAP CRM 7.0 to enable our sales force to use CRM Web GUI to create quotes and sales orders ( in the future) for configurable materials.
My questions are as following:-
1. Is it possible to download all VC related data into CRM from R/3 including pricing? I understand that for different VC object, I will have to use different CRM objects but is it possible? If the data transfer is possible, is it typically done by a middleware resource?
2. I would also like to confirm that by creating a run time version and Kbase is required to enable the download to CRM.
3. No changes are possible on the product that can be replicated back to ECC
4. Looking at the forums - I gather that "from CRM 2007 the PME is replaced with WEB UI in CRM. IF you want to do the modeling of a product then u need to use WEB UI and also for generating the KB" - does anyone have any information on this using the XCM ?
If you could please point me to the appropriate help on this topic, I would really appreciate it.
Best regards
Raj

Hi Anne,
Hope you have done the following settings -
The product is marked as configurable in the product master data.
Product configuration is activated. You activate product configuration in Customizing under Customer Relationship Management Master Data Products Settings for Configurable Products Allow Configurable Products for a Product Type . For more information about activating product configuration, see SAP Note 854170.
You have created a product model (SAP CRM), or replicated a knowledge base with the configuration master data from SAP ERP to SAP CRM
These are mentioned in the below link -
Product Configuration with the Configuration Engine in SAP CRM - SAP Library
Hope this will be useful.
Thanks and Regards

Search criteria LOCATION_ADDRESS.STR_SUPPL2 in scenario CL_COM_PRSEARCHSCENARIO_LOCAT not included in tool/filter LOCATION_ADDRESS STR_SUPPL2 CL_COM_PRSEARCHSCENARIO_LOCAT
X
I tried to find out the cause .Its mainly because SAP has coded in such a way to allow only few Location Address parameters in production search .
This can be viewed in the class :: CL_COM_PRSEARCHTOOL_LOCAT~DO_SEARCH .
There is a related OSS Note (1018099) as well ,but its valid for few Fields only .
We are already on CRM latest SP .
Client Requirement :-
Since STR_SUPPL2 is part of standard search criteria and my Client requires to consume this field in Product Search and Result .
Please if some one can help here .
MY DOUBTS :-
Query 1 :-
Should this be resolved by SAP and Shall i open an Incident ?
Query 2 :-
What BADI should i use if i need to write my own custom logic to implement search based on this field STR_SUPPL2 ?
OR
if there is an easier way to achieve this ?
Refer to the attached snapshots.

How to create switch documents in SAP CRM?

Hi,
I'm trying to create switch documents in SAP CRM. I'm using method CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG=>CREATE_SWITCH_MESSAGE but one of the parameters is CONTEXT...
Someone knows how this parameter should be filled?
Thanks,
André

Hi Andre,
the class CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG is used by the classes of the utilities process framework to create a switch doc in the context of a process. The context parameter is a reference to the process context. The class CL_CRM_IU_PR_CNTR_START, for example, uses CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG in the ON_POD_CHANGED method to create a switch doc.
While it is possible to set up a process context in a custom program the real question is what are you trying to achieve? Maybe it is easier to solve your requirement in the context of the process framework that to start from scratch.
Are you aware of the concepts underlying the utilities process framework? If not have a look at the following documents:
Process Framework in Contract Management - SAP CRM for Utlilities

SAP CRM 7.0 Webclient - Product Identification (IBase or IObject)

Dear SAP IC-Experts ,
I am new in the configuration of the SAP Interaction Center (SAP CRM 7.0) and have a process orientated question.
In my proyect the company is producing bathroom products which are installed in hotels, private homes, etc.. They sell their products via partner so they in most cases dont know where there products are installed until the end-user calls when they have a service problem. In the Interaction Center I have seen the Account and Product-identification Workcenter Page.
1. My first question is do I have to use IBase or IObjects to save the proyects in the Database? If I understood correctly IObjects can only be used if I have a serial-number for example which are used for cars or laptops to be able to uniquely identifie a product. As Bathroom products does not have this this kind of identification number to identify a single object I have to use IBase right? Additionaly I the company sells for example 30 times a shower cabine to a hotel I can not use IObject too because there is installed 30 times the same product in different floors and hotel rooms. This leads me to the conclusion that we have to use IBase which leads my directly to the second question
2. When using IObjects there is a Create-Button to create a new IOBject but this create button does not exists for a IBase in the View. When the end-user is calling me can I create in a very short time the installed base (IBase)? I hope I could make myself clear?
Basically I need to know if using IBase or IObjects for bathroom products and if using IBase how can I create it quickly as an IC Agent when the client is calling?
Best Regards
Oliver

Hello Oliver,
Yes, you are correct. The IObject (individual object) is intended primarily for consumer-facing scenarios involving serialized registered products. For a B2B scenario where a company has a footprint of installed products (whether it be HVAC equipment, plumbing systems, faucets, etc.) it is probably preferrably to use the Installed Base object to model the installation.
As you noticed, there is no native possibility to directly create new Installed Base hierachies from inside the Interaction Center directly (though there is an option for IObjects). The rationale here is that while a contact center agent would often register a new consumer product, they probably would not usually create new Installed Base hierarchies; rather this is something that, like creation of service contracts for example, is typically done by a Service Professional using the ServicePro role. However, you can always add a link to your IC menu to launch the ServicePro screen for IBase maintenance/creation in order to allow the agent to create or maintain the IBase hierarchy. A little cumbersom of course, but definitely a possible workaround.
Warm regards,
John

Hi,
for the majority of manufacturing customers doing make-to-order a re-use of their VC models defined in ERP is the better option. The AP Configurator (new name for the SCE part of the IPC) supports 95% of all of the product model as defined in VC. This re-use allows to conitnue to use the same product master data for high-volume make-to-order orders via CRM and at the same time for engineer-to-orders that are changed solely in ERP.
The typical process looks like this:
- Adjust VC product model to fit AP configurator if necessary (delta-list is described at help.sap.com > ERP > SAP ERP Central Component > Logistics > Variant Configuration > Product Configuration with the Configuration Engine > ERP Master Data and Configuration Engine)
- Adjust VC product model to fit the needs of the extended user base in CRM if necessary (very often the product model in VC is technical and requires specification of many technical characteristics. To overcome this additional sales- or application-oriented characteristics might need to be added that pre-fill in values for the technical characteristics using constraints or other rules)
- Create a Knowledgebase and extract the product model into it
- Set-up CRM Scenario including Middleware replication of product and knowledgebase
- Set-up JSP UI of the AP Configurator within CRM
- Create equivalents of user defined functions in Java and make them available to AP Configurator in CRM
For a subset of customers that does not do manufacturing in ERP setting up a product model in CRM is the other possible option available since CRM 4.0. In CRM 2007 this was improved to allow for multi-level configurable products and also provides a maintenance enviroment for product models that integrates well with the rest of master data maintenance in CRM (pricing, catalog, cross-/upsells, bundles). This maintenance environment (some still call it PME) is available in the overview page of a configurable product within the assignement block called "Product Models".

How to avoid configuration product downloading from R/3 into CRM

Hello,
We have CRM 4.0 connected with R/3 backEnd and configurable products are downloading from R/3 into CRM with the whole characteristics.
We don´t use this characteristics in CRM to configure this product and the pricing. Is there any way to avoid this information into CRM??
1.- Though the Middleware???
2.- Though the Uninstalling IPC(internet pricing configurator)???
3.- though the item category of the Business Transaction.???
It´d be grateful to get a way because actually, when we enter the product, this one has to be configurated because of the errors.
Thanks a lot,
Luis Angel Fernández

Hello Luis,
First of all I am unable to understand how are you getting the characteristic through material download.
All configuration comes through Knowledge Base and its runtime version.
If you want to block configurable materials from flowing to CRM then set the filter on Item Category Group.
I think you must have different item Category group for configurable material.
Thanks & Regards

SQVI Report for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy and its Product

Hi
How to create a SQVI report for generating a list for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy which should show the outputs->Level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4 categories and its products?
I tried COMM_Hierarchy table and Comm_product but not able to achieve this requirement.
or Is there any chance of getting related tables so that I could try more for this requirement.
In which table both product id and its category Id can be found?
Pravin

Thanks DJ
Is there any possibility to get a report for product hierarchy in SQVI ?
say in SAP CRM system, the product category is maintained in COMM_HIERARCHY as
Parent category Id->
                                Level2 Category Id->
                                                                 Level 3 Category Id->

(I understood the link between Level 4 category id and product id with your info.) but not able to achieve the requirement fully.
Is there any possiblity to achive for generateing a report?
