Difference between b2b and b2c in commerce

hi all,
Can anyone tell the clear difference between b2b and b2c, and when we are going for b2b and b2c in commerce
regards
shya

B2B have few extra features it provides to implement B2B solution like Order Approval, Cost Center, Invoices, Profile Organization structure, CustomCatalog are mandatory, PriceLists are mandatory etc.
With ATG10, B2C also made Custom Catalogs mandatory.
If you do not want the B2B features in your project then go for B2C.
Peace

Can we have different products between B2B and B2C

Hi Experts,
I have one basic question. Can we maintain the different products between B2B and B2C users. Because we have requirement is B2B users should get all the products, but B2C users should get limited products. Is there way we can setup like this to meet the requirements. Please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.
With Regards,
Sudheer.

You do this by creating two Product Catalogs (PCAT_B2C and PCAT_B2B, for example) Then, in ShopAdmin you assign the B2C site to PCAT_B2C and the B2B to the PCAT_B2B.
Another possibility, although not very user friendly is to use one PCAT and allow B2B users to add items to their cart directly, even thought they're not in the PCAT. The drawback here is that they MUST know the exact number and they can not search for them. I can give more info on this if you feel it might work for you, but it is not a very good option as a general rule.

B2b and b2c

Hi -
Can anyone head me toward documentation that will tell me the differences between a B2C customer and a B2B customer? Would be really helpful instead of having to test each function over and over to see the differences.
Thanks,
Shelby

Well the shopping experience is pretty close between B2B and B2C. There are a few subtle differences in the checkout. B2B customers see a Requested Ship date field that B2C customers don't. Also, you can create an "On Account" payment option that is usually restricted to B2B customers so they don't need to enter a credit card (but you can open this up to all customers if you like, it's configurable).
When the BP synchs from SBO, all the addresses on the account synch as well so these would be available for the customer to choose from when they place an order. New addresses a BP creates in WebTools are created in SBO as well. The BP contacts synch to WebTools as well (as users in WebTools) depending on what BP Contacts synch field you choose (email, userid, internal code, seek and choose). If you chose email for example and a contact doesn't have an email address then that contact won't synch.
Also, if you assign a specific pricelist to a BP in SBO that synchs to WebTools along with other special pricing so when a B2B customer logs in, they see their own pricing that may be different from a B2C customer pricing.
When a B2B customer places an order, it synchs to SBO for that BP but if a B2C customer places an order it normally synchs to a "generic" BP created in SBO with the shipping information in UDF's on the order.

Difference between party and service without party

Hi all,
Please tell me the difference between Service and Service without party and also let me know what is Business system, Business service and Integration process.
regards,
sudha

Hi Sudha
Party
Party is used to represent a Business Partner (doesnt belong to the current landscape) which is defined in B2B Scenarios.So All the systems/services accociated with the Party are referred only as Services.
Service without Party
It is used to represent any service within the landscape and is used in A2A communication.
Check the Threads for reference...

Difference between b2bmessageid and PROTOCOLMESSAGEID

Hi,
Can somebody explain the difference between b2bmessageid and PROTOCOLMESSAGEID?
When trying to resumit failed outbound message(using resubmission java comand), can I resubmit it based on the protocol message id?
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, Kalyan, Ramesh
We're using the Rosettanet and find that B2BmessageID always has the same values as PROTOCOLMESSAGEID.
We can NOT manually (using the java oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.ReSubmit b2bmessageid) resubmit some outbound message (3A4 Confirmation) that was submitted some time ago, and will get the AIP-50501 error. For other message type in Rosettanet such as 3B2, 3A7, we can resubmit multiple times successfully.
When resubmission failed, we got the detail error info below. Actually AAA is Seller and BBB is a buyer. Can you please throw some light on it, thanks?
Description: Unable to identify the trading partner agreement from the given input values.

Difference between Null and null?

What is the difference between null and NULL?
When is each used?
Thanks,

veryConfused wrote:
There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

Hi,
Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
Thanks,
Satish

I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD. I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
data: filename type string.
filename = p_file.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
         exporting
              filename                = filename
              filetype                = 'ASC'
         changing
              data_tab                = iflatf
         exceptions
              file_open_error         = 1
              file_read_error         = 2

Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

Hi,
Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
Example 1:
SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
2 from tchar
3 /
TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
krystian 10 krystian 8
Example 2:
create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
2 from user_tab_columns
3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
4 /
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2

The difference between SFP+ and X2

Dear Expert,
I need to know what is the difference between SFP+ and X2! and can I use SFP+ card and module instead of X2?
Thanks,
Mohammad Saeed

Hi,
They are both used for 10Gig interfaces. The difference is the connector type.
SFP+ is LC and X2 is SC.
You can not put an SFP+ into an X2 slot or X2 optic into a SFP+.

Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

Hi,
Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

Hi,
Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.

What is difference between abstraction and encapsulation ?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out the difference between abstraction and encapsulation but confused.
Both are used for data hiding then what is the exact difference ?
Thanks.

When you encapsulate something you get an inside and an outside. The outside is the abstraction. It describes how the encapsulated entity behaves viewed from the outside. This is also called the type. Hidden inside is the implementation. It holds detail information about how the type's behaviour is accomplished.
It's a very simplified picture but I think it's quite accurate and it works for me.

What is difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper?

Hi all,
I dont understand the actual difference between Iterator and Collection Wrapper. I observed both are used for the same purpose. Could any one please let me know when to use Collection Wrapper and when to use Iterator??
Thanks,
Chinnu.

L_Kiryl is right.
Collections support global iteration (through collection->get_next( )) and local iteration (through iterator->get_next( )).
Each collection has a focus object. Initially, the first object has the focus.
Any global iteration moves the focus, which is published by the event FOCUS_CHANGED of the collection.
If you want to iterate on the collection without moving the focus (and without triggering timeconsuming follow-up processes) you can use local iteration. To do so, request an iterator object from the collection and use this to iterate.
And one more advantage of using iterator: it takes care of deleted entities. If you use global iteration then when you reach deleted entity it will be an exception. But there is no exception with iterator in the same situation.
