Default product category

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem with the 'default' product category function:
If I DO NOT set the indicator for making a product category as default, SRM takes the last one from the list in extended attributes?
I would like the field 'product category' in the shopping cart to be blank?
Can anyone help me?
BR. Kim

Hi,
Which SRM version are you using ?
It's a standard SAP behaviour.
Product categories have to be available into SRM !! It is a mandatory master data.
You can use method ENRICH_ITEM_DATA in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to do this.
To change data (product category...) from the catalog to the shopping cart, please use BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER badi.
Or
Implement the BADI "BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY".
Or
Implement combination of BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI as well as BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.
See the following useful pointers for detailed help and source code:-

Re: make Category id field blank in Describe requirement
You can use the field CATEGORY_ID in the structure BBP_OCI_ENRITEM for the Product Category.
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Punchout Catalog product category - Default product category mapped

Hi,
Currently we are getting default product category even though punchout catalog is sending different prooduct categories?
We are using UNSPSC categoires and even punchout categories also same but default product category is coming not the punch out product category. Please note that if i click on Describe requirement then one default product category is coming up so same product category is coming for punch out catalog items.
Can you please give me some idea how this is picking up.
thanks

Query Regarding Default Product category set up in SRM server

HI SAp Gurus,
Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
1) Enter A comapny Code
2) Enter a unit of measure
3) Plant for follow-on document missing
4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
5) Error in account assignment for item 1
6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
7) Not possible to calculate tax
8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
Kindly advice and do the needful.

Hi Muthu,
I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
Bu the new problem raised - a warning message - No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
Can any one please advice.

How to delete Product Category ?

Hi,
How can I delete a Product Category ? Some products are assigned already to this category, and I cant delete that assigment and in consequence, I cant delete that product categories. =(
how can I delete this ?
Regards,
Diego

Thanks Jay, I'll try it =)
This situation was due to an SRM client copy (exact), so all my categories were linked to my old rfc system.
Due to this panic situation (deletion not possible), I asked basis people to delete this new client and make a new copy (only customizing).
Definitively, next time I'll wait a little bit more for a good advice in sdn...ej.ej
Thanks and regards from Mexico,
Diego

Product Category mapping from Punch-out to Shopping Carts

Hi,
We are implementing Punch-Out catalogs. We are on SRM_SERVER 550 and SP 11.
Product Category brought from field 'MATGROUP' field of structure 'CATALOG_CONTENT' in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER is picked up and wrote our own logic for mapping it with the available UNSPSC codes either at Family level or Segment level. The nearest available UNSPSC code is picked up and passed to output structures ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA and ET_SC_ITEM_DATA in the field 'CATEGORY_ID'.
This is tested by putting external debugging points and found to be working fine.
However when transferring data to Shopping carts, the default Product Category for User ID is shown up instead of the one from output of BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
Please let me know if i am doing correct or any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat

even we had the same issue -->
please note that category in SRM system has both category id and also category guid
so , you need to retrieve --> the guid of the category using the FM
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_CATEGORY_GET_GUID'
        EXPORTING
          category_id   = category_id
        IMPORTING
          category_guid = iv_comm_cat
        EXCEPTIONS
          NOTHING_FOUND = 1
          OTHERS        = 2.
and then assign as shown below
wa_bbp_oci_enritem-category = iv_comm_cat.
and then modify ENRICHED_ITEM_DATA

Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

Hello,
We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
add a vendor.
How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?
Regards,
Lina

Hi,
Which SRM version are you working on?
Please see if the foll notes help:

Product Category - Overriding the defaults

I have implemented the BADI to map the Product Category during the external catalog shopping cart creation.
I have the mapping Ztables.
If the mapping is available, all is working good.
However if the mapping is not available, I have to pass the error message about missing mapping.
The error message is working as well but the product category is getting defaulted to the standard category of the User.
I dont want to set it to the standard category.
Any clue?
SRM Functional says there is config to default and they dont want to change it.
How can I override this config?
Thanks in advance.

I am using the David Barber's workaround as specified above.
In the BAD, I am calling the FM: BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL and it gives me the SC details.
After validations, I am updating the ET_MESSAGES.
The error messages are displayed if the dummy product group is used but the SC is getting saved inspite of errors.
Any idea?

Punchout Product Category Default

Hi everybody,
I am trying to default (set in the extended attributes in PPOMA_BBP)the product category in punchout catalog when EBP does not have the vendor product category. I know this could be done in earlier versions of EBP. I am trying to do the same in SRM 5 and it is not working. Has anybody run into this issue?
Also I want to default a product category to PCAT1 if the data in Shopping basket is from catalog CAT1 and default the product category to PCAT2 if the data is from CAT2. Is there a way to do this (maybe through a BADI)?
Appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks
Venkat

Venkat
You can use method ENRICH_ITEM_DATA in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to do this.
You need to change the product category entry within the item in the cart. The catalogue name is also stored at this level so this entry can be used to determine what the category should be changed to.
I would have thought that the default category in SRM 5.0 should still come through. I unfortunatley haven't currently got a system to test it on to check for you though.
Input from other forum members on this would be gratefully received.

Keith

Product category account assignment relation

Hi Experts,
I have deleted a relation between a product cat 1234311 with WBS in the spro configuration. when i am trying to create a SC with the same product cat 1234311 with WBS element. system is not giving any error message and it allowing me to create a SC in the system.
Could you some suggest me on this. our requiremnt is that for the product cat 1234311 users should not be able to use WBS while creating a SC.
Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Please use BADI - BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to validate the required fields and throw error messages in case particular account assignment category is used with regards to a concerned product category.
The product category and account assignment combination is maintained to pick the account assignment details by default if a particular product category is used.
The system do not throw any error messages until and unless the account assignment details used are valid.
Hope this clarifies you and helps in resolving your issue.

Teja

Issue in product category replication from R/3 to SRM

Mehul G Shah: BACKGROUND:
We are in the process of replicating Material Group from R/3 to SRM
using transaction R3AR2 & R3AR4. Our Pre-Production server got
refreshed recently & this has caused all EBM data inclucing Logical
System & Destination being overwritten with EBP data.
We have maintained middleware paramaters, viz., CRMCONSUM, CRMRFCPAR,
CRMPAROLTP & also TBE11.
We have also maintained sites in CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit
using SMWP.
We have also tried after deleting entries in tables CRMPRLS (R/3) &
CRMMLSGUID (EBM) as suggested by SAP note 765018
We have followed steps mentioned in link /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
(But we are not clear about site attributes which needs to maintain as per the CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit.)
ISSUE:
Material Group gets replicated to Product Category in SRM. However, the
Product Category gets replicated with Logical System which is not
maintained in EBM

Hi ,
Thanks 4 ur replay,i have maintained Site attributes,please give me detail of site attributes like which attributes should i maintain ?please give me descriptive answer.

Goa for product category

Hi experts
I am creating a GOA with 2 items, one for product category and one for normal item, but an error occur 'No condition price exist for item 1', someone knows if it's normal?
As a know there is no conditions for product categories.
Thanks in advance
Nilson

Nilson,
I am assuming you are getting that error on Product Category line.
No, you need not provide any conditions for Product Category items.
Do you see any conditions populated for that item? Try deleting the item and adding back.
In IMG, do you have 'Activate Grouping logic for Locations in GOA?'

SRM7.0 Multiple G/L account assignment for a product category

Hi All,
In SRM7.0 , it is possible to maintain multiple G/L accounts for a prodict category and account assignment combination. For example , for a product Category XX and account assignment CC , we can maintain more than one G/L account with one G/L as default. While creating the Shopping Cart , the G/L account is defaulted. However when we do F4 search on the G/L , then system is bringing all the G/L accounts from the backend through the search help from ECC. In that case what is the use of maintaining multiple G/L accounts in the SRM configuration? Is there any other config that is reqd? We thought system would restrict to those G/L account that are maintained in the config.
Thanks
Sukumar

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?
Best regards,
Shawn O'Connor

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Toni

Product category duplicate

Dear Gurus,
We are on SRM7.0/ECC6.0 (Ext classic)
I have a peculiar problem. Our SRM system was earlier connected to one ECC system (say ECC100), later we changed the ECC system to ECC200.
Now everything is working fine. However when user directly plugs the product category while creating a limit SC, the system throws a prompt saying 2 product categories with same number exist. This is because we had done middleware settings again for ECC200 and COMM_HIERARCHY has 2 hierarchies.
But I have restricted the product categories in extended attributes to the current ECC system. Also when we do a search for prod categories the system shows only hierarchy for new system. Only when user directly plugs in the category number, does he get that prompt.
Please suggest. Will give full marks.
Best Regards

Hi,
It happens because you have product categories from ECC100 also in your system.
Did you also create any documents using ECC100 categories ?
If No, you can try this :
Use program COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE and delete ECC100 hierarchy (along with categories).
Best regards,
Ramki
