Configuring product category and inventory product category set id

Hi,
In DAC we are shown the inventory and product category set id as $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID ..... $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID ...... $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9. I have done setups previously where the $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID has been my first category and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 has been my 10th category.
Is this the correct way to setup the 10 out of the box supported product category?
A colleague of mine told me that the $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID is obsolete from 7.9.5 . If that is the case then where do we configure the 10th category?
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Swakshar Kundu.

could someone kindly respond to this pl?
Regards.

Query to find Items in the 'Sales and Marketing' category set.

Hi,
Does any one have the query to view the 'Categories' and 'Items' assigned within those Categories for the 'Sales and Marketing' category set. Or do you know any other way in which I can get the Catalog hierarchy along with the items assigned within the catalog?
Thanks,

Oracle Inventory: How to change default category set of items

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to change the default category set of functional area inventory in oracle as we are importing new items into inventory whihc need to be assigned to a new default category set.There is an existing default categpory set for this area.
As far as i understand once a default category has been set up and an item has been defined, the only way to change the default category set for a given functional area is to update all items with the new default category set before updating the default category set/functional area relationship.
How exactly do we update the defaul category set for an existing item and change it to a new one. Since we have close to 15K items what is the best way to do this.Is there ay API available?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Helios,
Thanks a lot for your response
The fix given in this document is to allign all the exisitng items to a category set (purchasing in this case). This is exactly what my doubt is. How to assign 15k items to a different category set. If i am able to allign these items i can change the default category of the functional area.

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

Hi experts how to see Main items and subitems of a configural product

Hi CRM experts
Can please tell me how to check the Main item and subitems of the business transcaion of configurable product in CRM.
what is the key field to check subitems for particular main item.
eg:
1. main iteam
1.1 subitem.
1.1.1 subitem1.

Your question is not very clear.Can you please write in detail giving an example.
From what I gather, you probably have 2 blocks.
One will be a query block where you have a list item(countries) , when you select a country, you want data to be retrieved in Block 2(Detail block).
Based on this assumption, you will have to code on when-list-changed trigger.
go_block('detail_block');
set_block_prooperty(...to set the where clause for country)
execute_query;
This is based on my assumptions of 2 blocks.

How to assign new categories and category set to existing Items

Hello,
This is on r12.06
We have around 9000 items in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B and now we have created a new category and category sets in Oracle inventory categories windows.
Is there any standard/seeded API, concurrent program that assigns these new categories to items in item master?
Thanks
R

You can load records into the mtl_item_categories_interface and run the "Item Category Assignment Open Interface" concurrent program.
OR you can use the INV_ITEM_CATEGORY_PUB.Create_Category api.
See http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/script-to-load-item-category-through-api-using-inv_item_category_pubcreate_category-api-2209973 for some sample code.
Hope this helps

Many to many relationship between category and category set?

Is there a many to many relationship between category
and category sets in Inventory mgmt?
I mean, one category can exist in many category sets
and one category set can have many categories, is that true?

IPC Configurable products and Search by characteristic

Hi all,
I have set up Configurable products for opportunities and quotations.
Now I have one question, if I want to search opportunities by product, it is possible in the standard search of opportunities/quotations. But if I want to search by a characteristic value of that product, how do I proceed? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

You have to read up on "Navigation Attributes." Marking the attributes of a chracterstic "navigable" in the InfoProvider makes that attribute searchable.

Configurable Products and Campaign Management

Hi All,
In our project we are going for configurable products. We plan to give campaign based discounts on these products in CRM.
Please let me know how to handle configurable products in Campaign Management.
Many thanks for your response:
Keshav

Hi Keshav,
I am currently working on setting up discounts related to a campaign. Would you have any information on how to do this? I know I need to select condition types from the discount tab. I guess I will have to create the conditon types in IMG. There are some condition types already exisitng that are being used by the pricing procedure for sales orders. Can i use the same condition types??
Any input would be highly welcome.
Thanks,
Deepak

I am getting a Block Reason: Forbidden Category "Weapons" message when I try to look at pictures of Gerber Knives and I didn't set up Firefox to block anything.

I am trying to look and see some Gerber knives... when I click on the photo link I get the message -
This site has been blocked by the network adminstrator. Block Reason: Forbidden category "Weapons".
As far as I know I am the Network Admin. and I've not set up blocks. How do I unblock this?

This is probably one of several things:
#Your ISP has set up a content Filter that is blocking this website. (Least Likely)
#Someone has installed a content filter (OpenDNS, NetNanny, etc.) on your computer (most likely)
#There is a content filter somewhere on your network (router, firewall) that someone else has set up. (somewhat likely)
Either way, this isn't a Firefox problem (unless there is a Firefox add-on installed that is acting as a content filter) and you'll have to look elsewhere.

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

Configurable Product - is this possible?

I have the following requirement. SAP says that it is possible to do this the standard way...I don't know how.
I have a configurable product with 3 caracteristics. This product is assigned to a bill-of-material that allows me to explode the configurable product with 3 subitems depending on the caracteristics I choose.
This I can do.
Now here is the catch....I need to assign an item category to each of the caracteristics, so that when each of the characteristic/product is exploded in a sales order the correct item category is assigned (I need this because of cost allocation).
Is this possible (without implementing user-exits)?
PS: I choose the item category to control cost allocation, but any field in the pricing structure (KONP) will do just fine.

Hi
I have a done a editable pdf in pro.
My client needs to put different percentages into the form (different for everyone)
so 1 pupil might have 25% but next 60% which she wants to change herself and then send to the student.
I have set it up so she can save it but when she sends it to the pupil, she can fill in the form BUT she can also change the percentage which we do not want.
My client is using normal acrobat (free one) 6.5 and pupils will probably have just the free reader.
Thanks

Configurable products in CRM - Error ASSERTION_FAILED

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to use configurable products in CRM. To do this we have decided to replicate the configurable products from ERP to CRM.
We were able to replicate the products into CRM, but when we try to use these in sales quotations we get the following error:
Category               ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors         ASSERTION_FAILED
ABAP Program           SAPLCRM_ORDER_API
Application Component CRM-BTX-BF
Date and Time          28.09.2011 11:17:11
The first time we tried to create a quotation, configuration of item category determination was missing, so we added the following configuration:
Tran.Type/ Description TransTyp/ Item cat.Group/ MainItemCty/Decription item cat./ Item Cat./ Description Item cty
ZAG          Quotation          0002 Config.at Mat.Level                                                            AGC        Quotation Config.

Since we added the configuration of item category determination for Configurable material, we get the error described above.
Could you give us any advice to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advanced.

Update: I just found out, to set the proper IPC settings we have to use http://<host>:50000/ipc/admin/xcm/init.do. This one has a JCO-component inside. But unfortunitely it shows a runtime error when it is started. I did change the SSL/security settings to use http. Any idea what this could be, or where to find a detailed error-log?
