DNL_CUST_PROD1 doesn't replicate product categories/ herarchies.

Hi Experts,
When I run DNL_CUST_PROD1 it shows green in r3am1 but when I check tcode COMM_HIERARCHY
, MAT_* is missing in R3PRODSTYP.
On R/3 side, I don't see any categories or hierarchies in COMM_HIERARCHy tcode.Also in R/3 COMM_PRAPPLCAT is empty.
I am a basis person trying to set it up, can someone shed some light on what needs to be done on r/3 side to replicate .

Hi Daljit,
Did you run the object DNL_CUST_BASIS3 before running DNL_CUST_PROD1?
What do you see under R3MATCLASS in COMM_HIERACHY? If any material groups are replicated succesfully, then you will see them under R3MATCLASS.
R3PRODSTYP will have only prodcut sub types which are same as material types (Semi finish, Raw material, etc) in R3. These are nothing to do with material groups.
Execute the object MATERIAL and replicate material master data from R3 and check if you get MAT_ & SRV_ under R3PRODSTYP.
Please try above and let me know if any issues.

Jagadish

How do we replicate product categories from SRM/ECC in to SUS system

How do we replicate product categories from SRM/ECC in to SUS system in srm 7.0

Hi Gopal,
Are you confused between SUS & ROS? If you meant ROS, it is advised to create local product categories in ROS under COMM_HIERARCHY.
Let us know your exact requirements.

Product Categories: from replication to transport viaCOM_CATEGORY_TRANSPORT

Dear experts,
Weu2019ve implemented SRM 4.0 (SRM_SERVER 500) with multiple ECC 5.0 backends and after reading document u201CSetup, Transport and Copy of SAP EBP Systems (Version 1.4)u201D weu2019ve realized weu2019ve done some things wrong, such as: replicate product categories from backend to frontend in Quality and Productive environments instead of transporting them via report COM_CATEGORY_TRANSPORT.
Weu2019d like to go back to the right direction and here we need your help and experience.
Do you see any feasible way of doing this? Do you think this is still possible taking into account that as a consequence of replicating categories instead of transporting them weu2019ve done a lot of customizing manually?
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,

HI Dean
Thanks for the info. I have been in touch and they have recommended the following reports for deletion but these are no good as cannot us in P if documents assigned to them.
COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE,
COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_ALL,
COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE,
COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL
I think we will go down the route you suggested which was option 2. I assume we would create a error message so if a NSV was selected then a error would pop up and not allow SC creation. Then I would need to load the new UNSPCC codes to the same Product Hierarchy in SRM.
Thanks for your help with this.

Replicate Delta download of Product Categories Error

Hi
Running Sudo-Extended classic. I have replicated product categories from the backend into SRM successfuly. Now I need to alter 20 P.Categories.
In R/3 I coped the category, changed it and saved it. eg from 1200000 to 120000. Now I am replicating this new P.Category back into SRM.
R3AR2 to create delta download for 2 tables T023 and T023
R3AR4 to replicate the file above, Source R/3 and Target system is CRM/SRM..
My issue is I dont see anything in R3AM1.
Also whe I run SMQ1 I see my delta request but is has a status:SYSFAIL the issue seems to R/3.
Question:DO i have to delete my old P.Categories in SRM frist? It wont allow me coz they were created in R/3.
My SMQ1 and SMQ2 are clear before i began all this.
I try SM59 and my RFC seems to be working??
ANY iDEAS out there????
NO P.Categories seem to be comming in from R/3
cheers

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.

Urgent: Replicating Delta Product categories

Our users have requested to replicate additional product categories from R/3 to EBP system. Do we need to run R3AS (Initial download-DNL_CUST_PROD1)? Is there any delta mechanism available for product categories?
Regards
AS

Hi Alok,
there is no delta flow (like for materials) for product categories.
So yes, you need to run the initial download on DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
This will update the existing hierarchy (by creating new categories and changing existing ones).

Middleware Settings for Product Categories

Hi,
We are using the CRM middleware to replicate the Product Categories.
In our case the R/3 backend Mat Groups are defined using the two fields.
1. Matl grp descr.
2. mat.grp desc. 2
The first one is a general one and the second field is more imporatant for the users in the search.
But from middleware initial downloads we are only getting the first Description field.
could some one walk me thru the steps to bring in the Second Mat grp desc. also.
Regards
Manoj A.

Hi Manoj,
This customizing option only lets you which description (short or long) to use in SRM.
The concatenation of both is not possible via the standard.
What you could try is to change the mapping module assigned to object DNL_CUST_PROD1 (COM_PRODUCT_PRDCT_PROD1_SAVE) by a specific one, where you can merge both descriptions.
It is a rather simple function module that you could modify (see FORM t023t).

How to automatically update products and product categories?

Hi friends
How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
regards
venkat

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

Unable to find product categories after client copy

Hi all,
We have copied clients from an existing ones for both SRM and ECC. After client copy we have followed standard procedure after client copy i.e.
Run transcation BDLS
created new RFC connections
changed attributes using the Attributes replace report
created new distributon model
maintained CRM parameters
maintained new site attributes in SMOEAC transaction
maintained entries in table TWPURLSVR
however , when i try to create a shopping cart, I cannot see any product category. The extended attributes for product category point to new ECC client becuse we have run the attributes replace report.
however in the product category table , COMM_CATEGORY , the product categories listed are all for the old ECC client
When i tried to load the Object DNL_CUST_PROD1 using transaction R3AS in SRM and tried to pull from new ECC client , it is in runing status for a long time and new categories with new ECC backend reference are not being replicated in the SRM.
Can you tell me why this could be happening ? How can i get the product categories from new ECC backend into my client?
Regards,
Mangesh

problem solved
i was using wrong parameters in BDLS

Updating Product Categories

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0, we initially replicated about 400 Product categories, now due to business requirements, we have consolidated them to 200 in ECC. Now How do I pull the changes in to SRM to inactivate/delete the unused product categories. I could not find any delta job for this.
Is there a report or a t-code I can use to fix this? please reply and BTW, we are not using MMID's.
Thanks,

Can't replicate material categories

Hi all,
I'm wiht a problem for replicate material categories in SRM 7.0.
I already did the configuration needed (SMOEAC, SMOGGEN, SMOGTOTAL, SM30 with tabels CRMCONSUM, CRMSUBTAB, CRMRFCPAR and SMOFOBJECT, transaction R3AC3, R3AS) and the problem is that no error occurs, in SMWP the load is successfull, but the categories don't appear in SRM.
In R3 the transactions SMQ1 and SMQ2 don't show any queue.
Can you help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi find below for the product cat
Steps to create the product category in SRM:
1) Create MM material groups in ECC client. This will create a transport. Go to SRM Tcode R3AS and select the object u201CDNL_CUST_PROD1u201D from the list and run it. You can monitor the job using R3AM1 in SRM. This will bring the material group into SRM. This can be seen in TCode u201CCOMM_HIERARCHYu201D in SRM.
2) Once it is done. Go to IMG in SRM and go to path SRM> SRM server> Cross app biz settings> Account aassigmnet> Define GL code for Acc *** Cat and Prod Cat. Maintain the GL code against this prod cat for all the account assignment codes. This is client specific setting and need to be done in every client by opening it. This GL code is given in the form in ticket.
3) Do a test and check if the product category is available for procurement in SC.

SRM ROS: Product categories

Hi Gurus,
If I've well understood, it is possible the implementation of the ROS scenario foreseeing two different clients:1 for SRM (100) and one for SUS/ROS (200).
In the scenario it is possible to define questionnaires category dependent (material groups imported from the SAP Backend system):
My question is:
In which client sholud I perfom the Middleware activity related to the import of the Product categories?
In the SRM one (100) , in the SUS/ROS (200) or in both Clients?
Thank you very much.
Nuz

Hi Masa,
the scenario I have in mind is very simple and it has those characrteristics:
1) Purchasing process is performed only in SAP Backend system (so we don't need to user SRM EBP since, at the moment, we don't manage any purchasing Business Transaction in EBP --> import category from SAP should be useless);
2) we want to activate the supplier qualification process: so, if i've well undertstood, I need SRM with a two clients configuration (100 for SRM EBP in which the Purchaser will check the questionnaies and in which the accepted Supplier Master data will be stored AND 200 for SRM SUS/ROS in which I'll manage the questionnaires set up and in which it is managed the service for questionnaires publication).
3) If I want to use the 'category dependent questionnaires' I Should set up the Middleware in order to replicate the Product categoris from ERP to SRM SUS/ROS Client - 200- ).
Do you think what I said is correct?
Thanks
Max

External Requirements and local Product Categories

Hi all,
please could you assist:
We are running SRM 7 with several ECC backends in ECS.
We would like to transfer ext. requirement from one backend to SRM (via BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER).
No problems so far.
Prerequisites:
Product categories should only be maintained local in SRM (no r3MATCLASS).
Idea for Solution:
Use of BADI PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2 and BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to use the internal product category for replicated materials and for the Inbound external requirements
Questions:
If we now transfer an external requirement from ECC to SRM (including a product), how does SRM behave (STANDARD)?
Is it mandatory to obtain the replicated product in SRM including the backend product category?
That would mean, we have to replicate the product categories from ECC as well and could not map the incoming requirements to "our" SRM interlanl product categories?
Any experience concerning standard SRM checks for external requirements?
Thanks and best regards
Andreas

Problem solved
We have just mantained local product categories.
Replicated products (from ERP) are automatically switched to these local categories

Local Product categories

Hi experts
I will have 4 backends assigened to 1 SRM, I need replicate material from all backends and work with then in a corporative view, IF i create local product categoriies with the same numbers as of backends and then execute midleware for materials it will be automatically assigned to my local product categories?
Someone have a similar scenario
Thanks
Nilson

if it is one to one . no problem . your trick works .
but you can use SRM only do DESCRIBE procurement only and catalogs.
but i dont know about 4 backe ends.
yes. you can upload product category from SRM which is equivalent to ECC product category.

System Fail Error for Product categories download

Hi All,
I am workin on SRM 4.0.We have started the initial Load for product categories but unable to load the material groups from the backend as prod catgories in SRM.
When I activate the Queue in SMQ2,it shows the status "System Fail" with the message " Hierarchy(with some ID) does not exist ".What could be the reason for the unsuccesful download?Please help.
Regards,
Disha D.

Hello Disha,
As Bertrand (and Vadim) said, you have to maintain this customizing point...
But if you read the linked documentation, it says that the system should assign the hierarchy automatically:
"When system settings for materials and services are replicated from the ERP system ,the relevant hierarchy is assigned to the corresponding application automatically. In this case, the assignment need not and should not be changed.
If you are not going to replicate data from the ERP system you must have created the hierarchy you want to assign to the application."
Maybe you first need to create a root hierarchy, assign it to purchasing area, and then the replication will add a "R3MATCLASS" sub node in your hierarchy.
Make few tests as described and tell us.

ABAP report for Active Product Categories by Vendor

Hi,
I have been trying to write an ABAP report in SRM to list all vendors attached to active product categories. My problem is identifying the active product categories. Can anyone help me identify these?
Regards,
Conor

Some alternative is in KSB1 (Cost center line item report) - you can change the layout and include offsetting account and its text.
But, in vendor line item report, if you want vendor number, vendor number, GL account number (offsetting) account and its text, then you should go with abap development.
Have a look at the following note, if really serves your purpose.
Note 1504612 - Line items: Offsetting account info (BAdI FI_ITEMS_CH_DATA)

DNL_CUST_PROD1 doesn't replicate product categories/ herarchies.
