Extra harecteristics in supplier catalog in CCM .

hello dear people...
we are using CCM 2.0 with SRM 5.0 in the same server.
we have a requirement of using few extra charecteristics in CCM catalog.
Can we upload the custom charecterictics (which is not provided by OCI i.e. not a part of "/ccm" ) using the CSV files as supplier catalogs?
If yes, what is the format of the .CSV file?
If we can't, what can be the work around?
An early response is appretiated.
Thanks in advance.
Abhishek

Yes you can create custom characteristics as part of your supplier catalogs. This can be done either via the csv format or via one of the xml formats.
The csv format is more detailed then what one would want to read in a post. Here is the link to the csv 2.0 format. It explains how to create characteristics and how to add those chars. to you supplier catalog and downstream catalogs. Note if you want this field to be searchable and displayed in procurement catalogs you will need to set the appropriate settings.
Start with this link:

Error creating supplier catalog

Hi srm experts,
I get a dump when creating supplier catalogs in CCM 2.0. The dump is in program /CCM/SAPLCOM_D_VIEW_E1, and ST22 states that the key field "PRODUCT_GUID" is missing or incomplete but is contained as a key of table LT_PR_PR_REF_PR. The supplier catalog is saved in table /CCM/D_CTLG_REQ but cannot be displayed in catalog overview. I found a note (1171698) that requires SAP Application Basis 7.0 to be at package 17, but I am unsure if this the correct solution. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Dom

I think you must Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the user rcat in the recovery catalog database, not in other databases.
Hope it helps!

CCM related - error while deleting item from supplier catalog

Hi experts,
I am using CCM 1.0 SP5 and the format of file uploading is in .xls. I am trying to delete one item with deletion indicator 'X' in excel file. Item is present in Supplier catalog. Still while going to delete the item, in the display log it is showing error as:
"Catalog item VZ312-5MD4E80865694B29B66E2C7CEA4A4D4E4E not found" and "Error when deleting catalog item VZ312-5MD4E80865694B29B66E2C7CEA4A4D4E4E". Though i checked the item is present in the supplier catalog. replaced the item in excel with the existing in CCM, still the same error is coming.
Please give your suggestions. I am not getting any solution.

CCM Upload CSV2.0 file to Supplier Catalog fails if using " ' , ;

Hello all,
We're unable to up-load supplier catalogs using CSV2.0 format when text fields in the file contain any of the following characters: comma, semi-colon, apostrophe, quote (, ; ). While we can get around this by excluding these characters from text fields in the file, the fact is that these characters are generally present across the customers material master description and purchase order texts in the material masters. Apostrophes and quotes are especially numerous because they are common abbreviations for foot and inch respectively.
Has anyone encountered this problem and was able to include these characters in the CSV2.0 file upload?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Frank Heisner

Frank: you should have no problems with comma (,) and semi-colon ( - as long as these are not defined as the CSV separator. Not sure about apostrophe ('). Quote (") is a special case for CSV. Per <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/e1/eddebb4b63453cbf209027e0816b8c/content.htm">SAP CSV 2.0 specification</a>, you should be aware that:
<i>If the column value contains one or more double quotes, you must place double quotes around the entire content of the column, and each double quote contained in the value must be doubled.</i>
Cheers,
Serguei

Supplier catalogs integration with Purchase Requisiton (ME51N) transaction

Hi MM Gurus,
I was looking to integrate supplier catalogs (punch out) to ME51N transaction in ECC-EHP4. I see config node in SPRO under MM->Purchasing->Environment Data->Web Services: ID and Description.
- I created catalog ID but Catalog button is not showing up in ME51N for catalog selection. What set up is required?
- How can we restrict access to catalogs, is there any set up to assign to plants or assign to doc type / users etc?
Please share, if you have any experience with it?
I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi,
you don't need SRM for using a catalog in MM transactions ME51n, ME21n. You have to consider that you can use only one catalog. If you want to use more then one catalog you should use SRM. That's the design.
Customizing:
-> Purchasing
-> Environment Data
-> Web Services: ID and Description
you can find more detailed information about the settings in Customizing of Supplier Relationship Management (-> SRM Server -> Master Data -> Define External Web Services )
You can maintain more than one WEB Services, but you have to set the 'Default Indicator' for one of them, otherwise you will not get any Catalog to be displayed in ME51n/ME21n.

SSP5 and supplier catalogs

I know that SSP5 is tightly integrated with Oracle Purchasing, but can it run as a stand alone product? If so, does it come with its own supplier catalog, or does it provide "hooks" to 3rd party catalog systems?
Thank you,
Russ Rubis

SSP5(iProcurement) is integrated with Oracle Purchasing - mainly links to Items (Item Master, Blanket PO Items), Suppliers, etc... and it cannot be used as a Stand alone system.
Also, (SSP5) iProcurement is just a Requisition creation system and you have to use the Purchasing module to convert these Approved REQs into Purchase Orders etc...
iProcurement allows you to load external catalogs. You can also access supplier punchout capabilities.

Hi,
I have configured punchout catalog for one supplier from customizing>>defining external web services in SRM. We have to send user's email ID to supplier catalog page so that this will be unique value which will identify user. can anyone please suggest me how to send SAP SRM email value to supplier.

Hi,
Please implement the BADI BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH for passing additional parameters.
Here is IMG description.
Transfer Additional Parameters
Use
With the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH, you can transfer additional parameters to an external Web Service, such as a product catalog or a vendor list.
The SRM Server always calls the BAdI when an external Web Service is called up. You can modify the BAdI to your requirements, for example, in order to transfer dynamic data that could not be imported via system tables.
Standard settings
In the standard the Business Add-In is active. The default coding is carried out automatically. The standard implementation is only run for the business type E-Forms.
The BAdI is reusable.
The BAdI provides the following methods:
CAT_CALL_ENRICH
Activities
You can transfer additional name-value pairs to the Web Service:
1. Create a new BAdI definition (see Implementation).
2. Add new entries to the internal table
ct_post_values. The table has the line category SAVWCTXT . Enter a field name and a value for each entry. Do not enter a field index.
Example
You wish to order business cards and you want to provide the text for the cards to the vendor (Implementation CL_IM_BBP_BUSINESSCARDS).

Masa

Not able to view catalogs in CCM after clicking on "edit catalog"

Hi all,
I am not able to view a single catalog (supplier, procurement or master) in CCM after clicking on edit catalog.
After clicking on "start" pushbutton, it is giving warning message "Error while editing Master catalog"
Could anybody tell me, what would be the problem ??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vivek !!
Edited by: vivek kulkarni on May 26, 2009 12:18 PM

Hi Jason,
Thanks for reply and solution.....
but this problem is only for my user ID and not for all other user ID.
when we tried with other user IDs, all the catalogs are in green state and working fine. For my ID I am not able to view any catalog into edit catalog screen. When I am trying to search any catalog it is giving me warning message "Error in master catalog". When checked in SLG1 I got error as "catalog (catalog name) not found".
Is it related to any user setting or like that... as this is the issue with my individual ID.
Please suggest.
Thanks !

Hi Srinivasan,
For price details you should use the following characteristics:-
/ccm/price[1]#/ccm/amount /ccm/price[1]#/ccm/currency_code
Use them in the format exactly as written above in two different cells of CSV. These are complex characteristics so, you should take care of the format in which they should be written. Please award full points for the helpful reply.
Thanks and Regards
