Create a product catalog from flat fiile

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a product catalog from a flat file. Basic requirement is to add products under product catalog. Further requirement can be extended to add views and add images to product catalog.
I want to know steps or function modules which will be used in order to achieve basic requirement first and then extended requirement.
Any sample example explaining the same will be more useful.
Thanks in advance
Madhura

By uploading images to a Product Catalog, the program below will also add the item to the catalog area specified.
SE38 - Run Program COM_PCAT_MASS_DOC_IMPORT
It has it's own Program Information to explain how it works.
Here's the first portion of the that information:
Title
Mass Import of Multimedia Documents for Product Catalogs
Purpose
This report enables you to automatically import multimedia documents that are already available in a file system and assign these documents to product catalog items. The items are identified using a product number. An item is created if a corresponding one is not available.
A simple text file, which can be created using the normal spreadsheet programs or simple text editors, is used as a basis for the import.
We have used this in the past, but it has some performance issues, so experiment to be sure you don't try to upload too many images at once...it can bog down after a few batches and begin crawling.

Hi,
You cannot send the duplicated with the standard import package. You need to create or add a new package and link to /CPMB/APPEND process chain and do the import. This would consider the duplicate entries also. It looks like you need somehow load all the records including the duplicate ones.
So on excel go to Manage Data -> Maintain Data management -> organize package list and add a new package and link to the standard BPC process chain /CPMB/APPEND.
Thanks,

Inputs requried to create purchase order report from flat file

inputs requried to create purchase order report from flat file

At a guess, I'd say purchase order data.
If you don't give us a clue what you are actually trying to do we can't really help you too much.
Do you want to call a BAPI? Do a BDC? Use an IDOC? Or just generally muck up the system by doing inserts into the purchasing tables?
No doubt if you tell us, you'll get lots and lots of suggestions.

How to create a product catalog in crm(by the end user of the system)?

how can we an end user create a product catalog?
what is the diff b/n prod cat and prod?
we download the prod from r/3.
how we get the prod cat done in crm for the customers and consumers and how it is done?
thank you,

hi
first of all we need to look at what is catalog management before proceding with product and product catalog.
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product descriptions, multimedia objects, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information, structured in such a way that most meets your customers needs.
Product catalogs are implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting your products in the Web shop.
difference between the product and product catalog
this is not the thing that product and product catalog are completely different entity.
Product catalog :   A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media, for example printed format or CD-ROM.
You can create various catalogs for your products in the product master and use them according to a validity date. For example, you could use certain products for the summer season, and other products for the winter season.
You can also tailor your product catalog to meet other needs by creating catalog variants. For example, you can create a catalog in English with the prices displayed in US Dollars.
so by above definition it is very much clear that products are actually assign to the catalog,i will give you an analogy that museum is a kind of catalog and you add different pictures to the museum,in the same way you add product to the product catalog according to the acatlog variant.
Now how you assign product to product catalog
Product Assignment
You assign products manually or automatically to a catalog area, depending on the catalog type. The product ID, product description, and status of all products is displayed, as is the information as to whether the item contains accessories or if it is a configurable product.
Prerequisites
You have created products in your product master in SAP CRM under Accounts and Products
Process
You select a catalog area in your product catalog, and edit the item list by assigning products to the area.
Manual Assignment
You can assign products manually on an individual basis or by copying a catalog area. You tend to choose manual product assignment for marketing-oriented catalogs that are subjected to editorial controls.
      Individual assignment
      In this case you select the catalog area in which the product should be assigned, manually search for the product in the product master, and assign it to the area.
      Copying items from catalog areas
      You select an area or subarea from another catalog and copy it to your new catalog. The system copies all products from the copied area to the new catalog, as long as they belong to the distribution chain assigned to the target catalog variant. From these products, you can then manually determine which products from the copied area you want to keep and which items you wish to delete.
The following is true for manually assigned products:
      You can activate or deactivate items on an individual basis.
      You can edit the list of accessories for manually assigned products. The system determines which accessories are maintained for the product in the product master and displays them in the item area of the catalog. You select which accessories should be displayed for the product in the catalog and activate them.
      Manually assigned products can be included or removed from catalog views on an individual basis.
Automatic Assignment
You can assign products automatically to a catalog by transferring product hierarchies from your product master to the catalog areas. The categories, items, attributes, and documents contained in the product hierarchy are copied to the new catalog.
You use automatic product assignment mainly for functional catalogs, where products can be copied with very few changes, from the product categories of the product master. It enables a standardized characterization of your products in the catalog.
The following is true for products assigned to the catalog using product hierarchy transfer:
      Product categories which make up the hierarchies become catalog areas in the catalog.
      Product categories in the product hierarchy must be assigned to the distribution chain to which the target catalog variant is assigned. Otherwise the category is not transferred. The same applies to the items, texts, and documents assigned to the category.
      Items are always active and cannot be individually activated or deactivated.
      Accessories maintained for transferred product in the product master are automatically included and displayed in the catalog.
      Transferred items cannot be individually included in catalog views or removed from them. Instead all items of the hierarchy are always contained in the view.
      Lists of characteristics for transferred categories and items can be automatically created when transferring product hierarchies. The transferred values are included in the item overview of the product catalog.

Data updation from flat file to I.C. via ODS

Hi,
I have to load transaction data from 4 tables into 4 ods and these 4 ods data will be loaded to 1 info cube.so please tell me the best method whether to use 4 info sources for 4 ods or can i define all the info objects in one info source and use the same info source for all ods objects.
Thank you

Hello GanGa,
How r u ?
1st could u tell, the loads are from Flat File or Tables ?
coz ur Subject and the Message is getting clashed.
If u use Flat Files, then better go for 4 IS and 1 ODS is enough. Then update the cube.
If u r going to extract from Tables, then you have to create the Data Source using "Extraction from Views", for this u should have common key fields in all the 4 tables. In BW DataSource to InfoSource mapping should be 1 to 1.
Best Regards....

Hi, write a start routine in transfer rules like this.
DATA: l_s_datapak_line type TRANSFER_STRUCTURE,
 l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int,
 l_s_glaccount type /BI0/PGLACCOUNT,
 new_datapak type tab_transtru.
 refresh new_datapak.
 loop at datapak into l_s_datapak_line.
 select single * from /BI0/PGLACCOUNT into l_s_glaccount
 where CHRT_ACCTS eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for CHRT_ACCTS
and GL_ACCOUNT eq l_s_datapak_line-field name in transfer structure/datsource for GL_ACCOUNT
and OBJVERS eq 'A'.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 append l_s_datapak_line to new_datapak.
 endif.
 endloop.
 datapak = new_datapak.
 if datapak[] is initial.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
 ABORT = 4.
 else.
 ABORT = 0.
 endif.
i have already some modifications but U can slightly change it to suit your need.

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).
Please refer to the AMIS Blog: https://technology.amis.nl/2011/08/11/clone-your-oracle-fmw-soa-suite-11g/

How to upload the BP master details in huge amount from flat file to CRM database

Hi,
Could you any body please help me initially the best method to upload Business partner data from flat file and if possible with any sample code available?
Basically I am an ABAP consultant. In ERP I used to do BDC or lsmw in generally?
This is a mission critical thing for me.

Hi Chitturi,
I did not come across the scenario for custom include fields from BAPI of partner creation. But if the fields are not appearing in the import/tables structure fields then you probably need to update the corresponding DB Table for those fields separately,else BAPI will update the same. You will get partner guid and partner number from export parameters of the BAPI.
