CRM Open Catalog Interface (OCI) - What data is sent from CRM/ISA to SRM?

RE: CRM4
We have an SRM customer that is able to access our online catalog as expected, create a shopping cart and transfer it to their SRM system.  However, they're asking that we provide additional information on the item(s) and I can not determine what data is sent in the first place, let alone how to add additional information.  Specifically, they require that the UNSPSC code is included in the data...the format for which should look something like this:
NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP = 465120000
I have determined the 'how' the data is sent (via HTML if OCI_VERSION = 1) and the file that's called once the SRM customer clicks the TRANSFER button on our CRM/ISA (ocilinessend.jsp)
But, I am unable to determine the 'what' data is sent.
According to the javascript file, here's the code that is activated:
<%-- send list with oci lines --%>
<form action="<%= request.getAttribute(OciLinesSendAction.OCI_HOOK_URL)%>" method="post"
name="SUBMITFORM" target="<%=request.getAttribute(OciLinesSendAction.OCI_TARGET)%>">
<% String param = (String)request.getAttribute(OciLinesSendAction.OCI_OKCODE); %>
<% if (param != null) { %>
    <input type="hidden" name="<%=OciLinesSendAction.OCI_OKCODE%>" value="<%=param%>">
<% } %>
<% param = (String)request.getAttribute(OciLinesSendAction.OCI_CALLER); %>
<% if (param != null) { %>
    <input type="hidden" name="<%=OciLinesSendAction.OCI_CALLER%>" value="<%=param%>">
<% } %>
<% OciLineList ociLineList =
    (OciLineList)pageContext.findAttribute(OciLinesSendAction.OCI_LINE_LIST); %>
<% for (int i=0; i < ociLineList.size(); i++) { %><%=ociLineList.get(i)+"\n"%><% } %>
</form>
So, does anyone know how this works?  How does data get flagged as being relevant to be sent via an OCI Transfer?
I can not believe how limited the SAP documentation is on the CRM side of this connectivity...the SRM side has a huge amount of documentation, but none of it specifically deals with how to get a CRM connection up and running.  You'd think they'd especially want to have customers using SAP on both sides of the connection...

I have made some progress finally.
The items that the .jsp file sends are apparently triggered when the customer clicks on the Transfer button and the FM CRM_ISA_BASKET_GETITEMS_BBP runs.
The FM ends up pulling data from the UI Structure CRMT_ISALES_BASKETITEM_BBP which you can modify the fields sent by using transaction CRMC_MAP to add a New Entry -> UI Field, named MATGROUP with Object ORDERADM_I and one of the 42 Obj.Field's available.  I ran a test with our customer and they confirmed that the MATGROUP was now indeed being sent during the transfer.
So, now my dilemma is trying to figure out which Obj.Field already is set up for UNSPSC numbers or if there is another Object in CRM that I should look in.
In the IMG, there are SRM settings for UN/SPSC numbers, but I can not find a corresponding CRM setting.
Anyone have an idea on which Obj.Field we should use ... or perhaps one which we can map from our ERP backend to CRM that will work without having to create a new Obj.Field, which is really not what we want to have to do.

  • Use of Open Catalog Interface (OCI) in ERP

    Dear colleagues,
    I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this question but can we use Open Catalog Interface (OCI) without having SRM directly in ECC 6.0? If yes what are the prerequisites, customizing, licensing etc.
    What we are planning is end users will select material(s) he/she wants to procure from a catalog from a portal (not an SAP portal) and once this is done purchase requisition will be created in ERP system.
    Regards
    Melih

    ECC6.0 MM does support OCI.  This works on both the Purchase Req and PO.  You can punchout from MM and shop from an OCI compliant source such as MDM, supplier hosted, other catalog tools and then this informaiton is pulled back into the Purchase Req or PO.  OCI is delivered with ECC6.0 MM so there should not be any license issues.
    Configuration is part of the catalog web service set up and this is where you maintain information such as URL, user id, password, etc.

  • Open Catalog Interface (OCI) - Is CRM/ISA ready to be an External Catalog?

    I have found much information here and on help.sap.com talking about how to set up an external catalog to be part of our catalog(s). But, there is a severe lack of information to educate myself as to whether our catalog(s) are ready to be added as an external catalog to our customer's SRM system for example.
    The only valuable information I have been able to find on how to be sure that our CRM/ISA Partnershop can be used by our business partners in their various (SRM) procurement systems is here:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40sr1/helpdata/en/73/fd147fcaaf41489508aaac8e3e37b5/frameset.htm
    We have a specific request that our CRM/ISA Partnershop be made available via our business partner's SRM system.  I can find no guide to help me provide the requested information without basically just guessing on my part.
    This is what they provided as a worksheet to return. 
    I assume the following or would like additional input:
    1)  They will need a Userid and Password.
    2)  For Language, we currently only support EN.  Would I enter EN or just leave blank?
    3)  What do the following refer to?  (These are the fields as requested and their suggested value by our customer)
      ~OKCODE       ADDI
      ~TARGET       _top
      ~FORCETARGET       YES
      ~CALLER       CTLG
      HOOK_URL       (Assumed to be blank)
    4)  These are the required OCI fields they would be expecting from the our catalog, but they can accept all OCI Release 4.0 fields...Assuming the connections from the above settings are made properly, will CRM automatically provide the approrpriate detail or do I need to set something somewhere?  All the XCM/DCM config settings for OCI seem to deal with an incoming External Catalog, not outgoing. 
    OCI fields
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-QUANTITY[1]' value='3'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-DESCRIPTION[1]' value='Descriptio'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-UNIT[1]' value='DZN'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-PRICE[1]' value='1.62'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-LEADTIME[1]' value='5'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY[1]' value='USD'>
    <input type='hidden' name='NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP[1]' value='44121704'>
    5)  Do I need to 'do' anything not listed above to be sure our catalog(s) are ready to perform as requested?
    Thanks for any clarification/links, etc
    I've spent weeks off and on now to try to determine an answer I could feel confident in.

    1/25/07 - Found a bit more info, but still need help determining if there are any additional settings/configs we need to make before starting to test with our Business Partner.

    I did these steps already, but have not tested yet:
    Customizing and Settings in CRM / Internet Sales
    Settings for receiving purchase orders in CRM
    Purchase order without reference to a quotation:
    In the CRM Business Connector, an XML purchase order is received via HTTP and it is converted into a sales order IDOC. This IDOC is then transferred to CRM and is posted there.
    The delivered mapping service expects a purchase order in the OLD_EBP XML format, which is transformed into a NEW EBP XML, xCBL and finally a CRM IDOC XML.
    The following settings must be made in CRM:
    · Creating a partner profile for the sender
    Path in SAP Menu
    Tools -> Business Communication -> IDoc-Basis -> Administration -> Partner profile.  
    Partner type: Customer
    Partner number: Number of the sold-to party in CRM
    Transaction code: APLI (Individual IDoc processing)
    Message type: CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE_M
    (key fields of table EDPP1:
    -PARNUM partner number
    -PARTYP partner type)
    ·         To view CRM address management errors in the document, the parameter CRM_USER_LEVEL must be set to value 9.
    Path in SAP Menu
    System -> User profile -> Own data -> Parameters.
    I have asked my Basis contact to look into this portion:
    Business Connector
    Install a Business Connector 4.0 or higher.
    Required packages:
    · Sap_crm
    · Sap_crm_customizing
    · XSLT (only for BC 4.0, not required for BC 4.6)
    After processing the purchase order that was received first, an inactive routing rule is created that is completed and activated.
    Path in BC
    BC Manager -> Adapters -> Routing -> Edit.
    Transport: ALE (R/3 IDoc)
    SAP Destination:  
    The ports must be activated and the service EbpXmlToRfc must be accessible before the Business Connector can receive documents.
    Some CRM settings are hard coded in the transformations. They are in the file BasicOrderSettings.xsl, that are in the directory ...ServerpackagesSap_crmxsltincludesxcbl2sapcrm_xif.
    These are:
    Transaction type: TA (standard order)
    Item object type: BUS2000131(sales item CRM)
    Text ID under which the order text is created in the CRM order: 1000 (customer note)
    Make sure that all of the available Business Connector patches are installed.
    Our customer contact says they went with WebMethod instead of Business Connector, but I'm hoping we can make it work using BC without having to research yet another piece of the puzzle.
    Any additional detail/advice from anyone that's set up their Partnershop to be connected to SRM EBP via OCI?

  • Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

    Hello ASUG Community.
    I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM.  The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
    The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
    The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
    I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
    The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality?  It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s.  Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
    I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
    Any insight would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.  Sincerely,
    Rich Wortmann

    I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
    Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

  • Open Catalog Interface (OCI)

    There is an OCI interface for SAP R3. Is there an OCI interface for Business One?

    David,
    The only interfaces with respect to integrating with SAP Business One are using the SAP Business One SDK which provides COM API's for integration at the data level (DI API) and the user interface level (UI API).  
    There is also the DI Server which is a wrapper for the DI API allowing SOAP integration.
    Also you can integrate with SAP Business One using the DI Server and the Business One Web Services or B1WS.  
    The other method of integration is using the SAP Business One Integration for SAP NetWeaver which connects SAP Business One with MySAP using the Business One DI API and the R/3 ALE or XI connection components.  OCI for Business One is not available.

  • PCUI and OCI (Open Catalog Interface)

    Hi,
    we want to integrate a external catalog into the PCUI application qutation. The goal is to take over the shopping basket of the catalog into a Quotation. The data which should be taken over are products out of the external product catalog. Therefore the open catalog interface (OCI) should be used. The external catalog sends the shopping basket selected by the user via a HTTP Post to a so called Hook-URL which is provided by the calling application (PCUI). The calling application (PCUI) will retrieve this POST and take over the data send by the HTTP Post.
    My question is now if something like that is possible with PCUI framework?
    Thanks for your help.

    Mario

    Thanks for the quick and succinct reply.

  • Is OCI (Open Cataloge Interface) supported from MM or SD

    Hello.
    My customer has installed SAP ERP, but do not have SAP SRM. We plan to implement a punch-out from SAP to a web site of Cisco with use of OCI.
    I do find a lot of information about OCI related to SRM, but none related to ERP.
    Does anybody know wether OCI somehow is support by ERP?
    Geir Sunde, tlf. +47 977 555 97

    Hi,
    Open Catalog Interface is related to SAP SRM it is nothing to
    do with SAP R/3.When we are using the Catalog for creating a
    shopping basket this interface is the link between the Catalog
    and  the SRM server.
    Please Post this message in this forum  in SRM general you
    will get some Inputs but definitely it  is NOT supported by
    SAP R/3.
    We plan to implement a punch-out from SAP to a web site of Cisco with use of OCI.
    I think  you have to IMPLEMENT  -SAP SRM only

  • Sales Area Data isnt replicating from CRM to ECC

    Hi Gurus,
    We are replicating some BPs of certain groupings from CRM to ECC.
    We performed all steps relevant for this task mentioned in Best Practice u201CMaster Data Replication C03u201D. After performing the
    steps results are as follows:
    u2022     BP General Data is replicating without any trouble.
    u2022     When registering sales area data in CRM and trying to get this replication to ECC we see that the BP Sales Area data isnu2019t replicated.
    Monitoring SMW01.
    The BDOC BUPA_MAIN ended with the following error:
    Messages for business partner 0007000362: Fill in all required entry fields
    Action already taken:
    After reading this message I have reviewed the mandatory fields per Account Group in ECC and mapped them with the CRM ones. Even this changes I still can get sales area data in the ECC BPs replicated.
    Is there something I am missing here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Regarding debugging from CRM to R3. Please follow the below steps.
    There are 2 methods to debug the Business Partner (BP).
    First Method:
    1)     In CRM, Go to SM59 -> ABAP Connections => The ECC client -> See if the saved user (in logon details) that is used to connect to ECC from CRM is a Dialog user.
    2)     You can use transaction code SU01 to check User Type of User.
    3)     Deregister the Queue through SMQS.
    4)     Make changes to BP.
    5)     Go to SMQ1, Select the Queue name Double Click 2 times then select the Tool bar (Debug LUW).
    Second Method:
    1)     Put a break point in Function Module SMW3_MFLOW_UPDATETASKBDOC.
    2)     Create a BP and before save, type /h to activate debug, Mark update debugging option.
    3)     When stops in Function Module u201CSMW3_MFLOW_UPDATETASKBDOCu201D you must be sure to set header-dbgmode = 'X' this will make the BDoc stay stopped in SMW01.
    4)     Go to SMW01 and type /h and process the BDoc.
    5)     Put a breakpoint in Function Module u201CCRM_UPLOAD_AFTER_MAP_HANDLERu201D and be sure to change LV_SYNCHRON = 'X' this will allow you to connect in ECC.
    If the variable LV_SYNCHRON does not have any value, then it will work as background task, if the value is filled with the value u2018Xu2019, then it will allow debugging in R3.
    And another point to be noted here is, the user type of the R3 should be Dialog User. If the user is not dialog, then it will not connect with R3.

    Hi Comandante,
    I am guessing you are using a DTP to transfer data into your datastore.
    Loading has been split up in a 2-step scenario :
    1. First use a classic infopackage to load data up to PSA.
    2. After that, you can upload your data from PSA into your SD using DTP.
    Another possibility is that you are using a delta DTP and that the request has already been loaded into the DS before. The delta mode for DTP is based on request number, loaded into your PSA.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Olav
