E-commerce - expanding product search

Hello all... I have a client who sells jewelry and she wants her online shop vistors to be able to search through her products using a plethora of options (metal, stone, color, clarity, gram wt., length, width) and I am not sure the best way to accomplish this. Does anyone know of a tutorial, example or template they can point me to? I could use the custom fields for the product, but I can't seem to find how to modify the product search module.

Use to construct the html img tag with an id class or
a js call that will help you present the image inside lightbox effect. You
can have a look at the poplet markup and construct the same tag for the
large image as for poplet and hence utilise the existing bc lightbox. Or
create your own

Hi Jayesh,
When you copy <td> element of product search from "navigationbar.inc.jsp" to "categoriesB2C.inc.jsp" you also have to copy
<form> tag and necessary java script function from "navigationbar.inc.jsp" file.
Read carefully "navigationbar.jsp.inc" file and understand how it is working in it and then copy necessary code from this file to "categoriesB2C.inc.jsp" file
I tried to post code here but some how it is throwing an error while replying you. Sorry.
I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.

Product Search in IC WebClient

Hi,
I am new to WebClient and now my client has an enhancement for Product Search in WebClient. Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
Backend system: SAP ECC
CRM System: SAP CRM 4.0
Sales Order Creation: in SAP CRM Web Client
1). Client products come in many different versions (ECC has products globally).
2). Client need a functionality in such a way that, during sales order entry the interaction center agent should search the product based on the country and product description(sometimes customer group).
Example: A typical distinction between the different products is the language on the packaging. Products sold to customers in Canada can have multiple language versions: an English only variant, and an English/French variant. Some of the client products can have up to 8, 9 different language versions.
Therefore an enhancement is needed to select the appropriate version of a product depending on the county of the ordering customer (in some situations also the customer group of the customer is taken into account).
How we handle this enhancement in Web Client?? Please reply to this as quickly as possible.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
A better solution is to edit your own copy of the navigational XML as per the <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000647973&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700003057372006E">Web IC Cookbook.</a> The section you want is around page 60.

"MAXIMUM NO OF HITS" field in selection screen for Product Search

Hi all,
We are running on SRM 4.0.I have a query regarding the Selection screen which appears for the Product Search when we click on the "inetrnal Goods/Servcies" link...
I have developed a Z-serch help for the Product search wherein i have control of all the other fields lik "Product ID"," Product description " etc..But not "Maximum no of hits" (since it is a part of the std functionality)...In the selection sceen field " Maximum no of hits" ,whatever value i enter that value is not considered...So is there any way that this field is not diplayed on screen/can be disabled(made an O/p field)...
All suggestions are welcome....Please help...
Thanks & Regards,
Disha.

Well,
You're talking about COLLECTIVE search help. You won't definie Max No of hit at this level.
Define an elementary search help and assign to this one a dialog mode (retriction or set of values).

Product Search Using Oracle Text or By Any Other Methods using PL/SQL

Hi All,
I have requirement for product search using the product table which has around 5 million products. I Need to show top 100 disitnct products searched in the following order
1. = ProductDescription
2. ProductDescription_%
3. %_ProductDescription_%
4. %_ProductDescription
5. ProductDescription%
6. %ProductDescription
Where '_' is space. If first two/three/or any criteria itslef gives me 100 records then i need not search for another patterns
Table Structure Is as follows
Create Table Tbl_Product_Lookup
    Barcode_number                Varchar2(9),
    Product_Description Varchar2(200),
    Product_Start_Date Date,
    Product_End_Date Date,
    Product_Price Number(12,4)
Could you please help me implementing this one ? SLA for the search result is 2 seconds
Thanks,
Varun

You could use an Oracle Text context index with a wordlist to speed up substring searches and return all rows that match any of your criteria, combined with a case statement to provide a ranking that can be ordered by within an inner query, then use rownum to limit the rows in an outer query. You could also use the first_rows(n) hint to speed up the return of limited rows. Please see the demonstration below. If you decide to use Oracle Text, you may want to ask further questions in the Oracle Text sub-forum on this forum or space or whatever they call it now.

QUERY ON PRODUCT SEARCH

Hi All,
   i implemented the Product search based on the Plant by modifying the std search help attached to the std shlp BBPH_PRODUCT_GENERAL.
Now my prob is that in one of the selection parameter field "PRODUCT_TYPE",whatever value i enter at runtime,the std structure for seloptions (SELOPT) doesnt take the value or this field.For all other fields ,the values are being taken.I tried changing the propertieds for this field acc to other fields but that doesnt help.
Can anyone throw some light on this???
regards,
Disha.

Ram,
DATA : Begin of i_VBPA occurs 0,
             VBELN like VBPA-VBELN,
              PARVW like VBPA-PARVW,
           END OF i_VBPA.
This is for single search parameter...
Select vbeln parvw into table i_vbpa from VBPA Where PARVW eq = 'Z8'.
This is for all search parameters
Select vbeln parvw into table i_vbpa from VBPA
Where PARVW in ('ER','ZL','ER').
SORT i_VBPA by VBELN PARVW.

Adding extra fields to the Product search display

Hi all,
I have a requirement where the std Product search needs to be modified wherein i need to add a price field for some materials whcih i will maintain in a Z table(custom table for the materials and its price).
Now my problem is that the o/p structure is taking the fields from the view BBPV_F4PR_GEN (where i dont have nay price field!)...When i pass my structure to the Dispaly FM "F4UT_RESULTS_MAP" it doesnt consider my custom structure for display....
is it possible to change the o/p structure for the Product search display???Has anybody tried thsi before???
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Disha.

AFAIK, the only way to do this is to write a system modifcation.
The BADI is executed only once at startup of the session, so that makes it merely static. (A strange point in time, I discussed it with SAP and they just shook their heads)
I had the same problem with some other F4-Helps and it was a big hazzle. From my experience, no straight answer.

Filter on product search in SAP CRM 2007 User Interface

Hi Experts,
I have the following requirement: we need to have the possibility to filter the Products in the Product search in the user interface based on the User's sales organization. Meaning that, if a user belongs to Sales Organization A, he will be able to see ONLY the products belonging to sales organization A.
Can anybody of you Experts, suggest a way to implement this via standard SAP and not via an enhancment if possible?
Thanks in advance to all of you.

Hi Michele,
maybe have a look at BAdIs COM_PRODUCT_SEARCH and COM_PRODUCT_SE. Did not try them myself but they are for enhancing searches in product.

Hi,
What do you mean "product search"?
If it means F4 help mode of PC-UI, you can't use personalization function in the screen.
Take a look at sorce code.

Class:CL_CRM_BSP_FRAME_SRES
to display link is controlled intentionally.

Enhance product search in ICSS.

Hi Expert,
In ICSS I want to enhance the product search in create service ticket. As a standard functionality you can search product by entering product id or description. I want to enhance that search by catalor id. Means by putting catalog id it should give the corresponding material. We have created ZCATALOG1 and ZCATALOG2 attributes in an index of trexadmin and customized the ICSS UI in such a way that catalog id will come below product id . There you can put the catalog id. Now question is how to assign the search text in ZCATALOG1. Any body has any clue how to it?. It will be really helpfull to me.

Add existing settype to product search

Hello,
I want to add the existing field basecategory (Relation ProductBaseCategory) to the product search in CRM.
1. I have appended the new field to the search structure CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_PROD
2. I have created an entry in table CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR for my field. I have found the settype COMM_PR_CATEGORY which sounds suitable. But I cannot see the Attributes belonging to it. Does anybody know what is the attributes naem for the base category?
Or has anybody another idea how I can add the BaseCategory to the Search Parameters?
Thanks,
Anne

Hello Anne,
Search based on Category ID is already present in standard.
But I doubt, enhancing the search with base hierarchy would work since this field is not covered
within existing standard search. ( I mean by underlying APIs).
Best Regards,
Shanthala.

Product Search Modification Options

Hi All,
   I have created my on Z-search for Products based on the Plant to which the requisitioner belongs to.Now in EBP,I have downloaded all the products(Materials and Services) from Backend.
   Also, when I go through the "Internal Goods/servcies " link for creating the SC,I need to see in the Product search, all the Non-catalogue Products(i.e. excluding the materials and services which come under the category for Catalogue Products).
   Now my query is that I can filter out the products(belonging to te CATALOGUE product category) before displaying the Product List in the Z-search,but is it advisable to delete these Catalogue Products from EBP itself once they are transferred from EBP to CCM.(In CCM only ,I will be accessing these Catalogue Products to create a SC through the CATALOGUE link).
Thanks & Regards,
Disha.

Not on products but you can on catalogs. Click the tick box in the shipping option and you will see filters and options such as countries and catalogs.

Help! Advanced Product Search

Hi guys,
I need some help setting up an advanced product search for a client.
We are over half way through the job and they have now decided they want a product search to be able to so they search the size of a generator by power rating and brand. So basically a dropdown with 0 - 4 kva / 4 - 8 kva / 8 - 12 kva and another with brand: Brand 1 / Brand 2 / Brand 3 etc. In theory it shouldn't be too hard, but with the limitations of BC I cannot see anyway to do this. I found a link to an old article on the old BC forums (http://www.businesscatalyst.com.au/ForumRetrieve.aspx?ForumID=52&TopicID=16139) where someone was trying to do a similar thing, but since its all redirected I cannot see a solution!
They essentially were using the custom fields to enter say the rating 3 kva and brand and trying to search that way.
In the support documentation it says you can add a '&SE=True' to the end of your Search action and it will search 'Tags' which is possible but it seems a little bit of a messy way to do it. Ideally I wanted to use a series of dropdown menus to make it easier.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions that would be fantastic. I am almost leaning towards getting a custom jquery search made up but it just seems like going to extremes when BC should be able to handle this.
Cheers!
Guy.

Hi Guy,
If you disable JavaScript and go to http://www.businesscatalyst.com.au/ForumRetrieve.aspx?ForumID=52&TopicID=16139 you will be able to view that forum post. But I had a look at it and there is nothing useful in it.
Basically, there is nothing out of the box that will accommodate for that requirement. The only thing you can do is to create power and brand catalogues and provide the catalogue dropdown where the customers can choose the power or the brand it in the search form.
Cheers,
