Finding/Developing a Database/Shopping cart system

Hey everybody,
Heres my predicament. I am the webmaster/designer of
www.libertypromotions.com, a custom die-cast car company. We have a
database of 20,000 clients who have all purchased from us before.
Currently when we offer a product, clients can place an order
online into a MySQL database, but after the sale, we have to
manually import those same orders into an access database on our
local machines. The process is time consuming, we have approx. 1000
orders a month that we hand process this way. In addition to this,
the products can only be purchased on the correct time, if they
have purchased 10+ previous products than they can order day 1, 5+
day 2, 1+ day 3 (or something to that affect) So evey month we
recieve 1000 phone calls/email on how many times a client has
purchased.
So what I am looking for is this, A system where the client
can log in, see their billing/shipping address, their CC on file,
and their number of purchases. I also would like this to control
sales, they have to login, and if they are in-eligible to order
they are stopped before placing the order. I need it to be easy to
use, customizable, and secure. At the same time, I need to be able
to upload my current database, I would have 20,000 angry customers
if I wiped out their current purchasing records. We also need it to
function as a traditional shopping cart, with some sort of
scheduling function based off of previous purchases (it may not be
10+, it may be 30+, or never purchased, etc). I have some other
features I would like, but I will discuss those more in depth with
anyone who asks.
So can anyone help me develop this/ develop this for me? I am
willing to discuss payment options, and would like to get it
completed by September if possible. Any and all help on
developing/resources/ other ideas suggestions, would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks

I cannot find purchasing group in Shopping cart item basic data in SRM 7.0

Hi experts,
We are using SRM 7.0 and stand alone scenario. When we are creating shopping cart, we cannot we cannot find the purchasing group field in item basic data. We have not changed any standard SC layout and I've already specified the responsibility of the purchachsing group. Now I have no idea why the purchasing group is not visible.
Can anybody help me on my issue? Many thanks.

Hi,
   The values are getting populated in the include "LBBP_SC_UI_ITSF49"...
set orgdata
READ TABLE gs_sc-org WITH KEY p_guid = gs_scr_basic_i-guid
                       INTO wa_orgdata.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    gs_scr_basic_i-proc_group       = wa_orgdata-proc_group_ot.
    gs_scr_basic_i-proc_group+2(12) = wa_orgdata-proc_group_id.
    gs_scr_basic_i-proc_org       = wa_orgdata-proc_org_ot.
    gs_scr_basic_i-proc_org+2(12) = wa_orgdata-proc_org_id .
   read purch. group description
    CLEAR wa_orgdata_i.
    READ TABLE <item>-orgdata
         WITH KEY proc_group-otype = wa_orgdata-proc_group_ot

         INTO wa_orgdata_i.
    gs_scr_basic_i-proc_group_text = wa_orgdata_i-description.

Shopping Cart - Help?

I'm new to web design, and self taught, so go easy on me, haha. I have a site up, that sells organic mattresses and I need to add a shopping cart to it so customers can purchase online. I've added a buy now button and I want that to take them to another page where they can customize the bed and then purchase it online. You can look at it if you'd like; www.dremata.com
I have a google checkout account, which comes with a shopping cart widget but it's limited and I need a shopping cart with more options/more customizeable because there are a lot of different options the customer can pick that effect price.
I've been googling shopping carts for 6 hours now. Everything I've found turns out to be an entire online store. Which I'm not looking for, because I've already designed my website and set up the product pages. I'm just looking to add a shopping cart. I can't, for the life of me, find a premade shopping cart that I can just add to my site. At this point, I'm assuming I'm really ignorant on the subject and you can't do that?
I don't know too much about shopping carts, or how they work. So if anyone could help me out, let me know what my options are and the different ways to add a shopping cart, I'd really appreciate it!
- Thanks

You've made a common newbie mistake of putting the wagon ahead of the horse. Ideally, you should build your site pages within your shopping cart system. IOW, the product IDs, descriptions, prices, options, etc... are stored in server-side databases. Content is dynamically populated to your site pages. This is the price of doing things on your own without first consulting an expert. All is not lost though. Find out which programming languages your server supports (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion...)
Have a look at Cartweaver and Web Assist They each have e-commerce extensions that can be used with DW.
Good luck,

Classic ASP shopping Cart

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I'm looking for a 'comprehensive' shopping cart system
written in 'Classic
ASP' and editable in DW8.
It needs to have a fully functioning admin (backend) system
and also enable
me to add asp code as and when required.
Bit of a tall order I guess, but my reason for the question
is that at
present we're using 'Actinic v8' and it is rather restrictive
in both
functions and design ability.
Hope someone can advise.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Andy

Thanks for that Dave - I've emailed you

Ambiguous workflow when creating shopping cart

Hi,
When I am trying to create a shopping cart system is showing the error ambiguous workflow.
We are having a stand alone system in SRM5.0.
The configs that have been done are as follows:
1)Root organization , the purchase organization and purchase groups have been created and assigned to the root organization.
2)One manager and a employee have been assigned to the root organization.Manager has red hat.
3)For the task specific workflow configuration ,under assign agents the manager has been assigned to TS 10407964.
4)The standard SAP workflow are all active and have the same currency as the shopping cart .
Can anyone tell me the steps for checking the uniqueness of the workflow?
Further, do we require specifying anywhere that the manager is the approver of the employee or the system is supposed to find that automatically from the organization plan?
I am basically a MM guy new to SRM, so any input in this regard will be very useful.Points will be awarded.
Regards
Supratim

Hi,
Please check whether for the SC multiple approval workflows are active by going in trascn SWE2.There for the Event BUS2121,you can see a list of workflows.
If more then 1 WF is active,then check whether the starting conditions(if they exist) for the Workflows are unique.
If the starting conditions are not unique then the system doesnt understand which WF to trigger once the SC is saved..Hence you get the message that the "Workflow is ambigous".
If you are doing the agent assignemnt at the TASK level,the approver/manager be will be directly taken from there.However if you want some specific logic to be followed while determinig the agent,then you can write your own rule(in which the logic can be written to determine the Approver) which needs to be attached to the Task of the WF.
Alternatively,you also have N-step Approval Workflow for SC approval in which the complex logic for determinig can be written in a BADI.
For more details on WF,refer the foll link:

No More Shopping Cart in iTunes V9

After upgrading to iTunes V9 I noticed there is no more shopping cart. I queried iTunes support via chat and they confirmed:
"In the iTunes 9 there is no longer a shopping cart"
Yipes! I liked being able to stage items and then get recommendations and then add & subtract. I then did my purchasing en masse later, not item by item. It was more convenient, I could consider my purchases and find related items. I could also time a large purchase against available funds, etc.
Apple responds straight out of Zig Zigler:
"I understand. Am sorry for the inconvenience it may cause"
I realize there is a wishlist feature, but that doesn't propose items or function as nicely as the cart once did.
For me this is one step forward and two steps back. Nuts !!!

Not only was I ****** to find out that my shopping cart was gone, but I'm LIVID that when I tried to reinstall 8.21, IT CANNOT READ my iTunes because it was created by a different version.
WAY TO GO Apple!
If you're going to remove a MAJOR feature, you should either make it an attention grabbing notification BEFORE you upgrade, or you should make it easy to return to a previous version. Especially one that is sneaky enough that you actually end up buying things that you intended for your shopping cart. Due to the attachment I have for my music, that borders on misrepresentation, if you ask me.
I'm becoming increasingly unhappy with Apple's 'improvements'. This latest rollback issue just pushed it over the edge. Everything has become geared toward the iPhone (which, even if I could afford it and the plan that goes with it, is not supported by the carriers in my area) and the Nano (how can I fit 100+ GB of music on a Nano?). I am perfectly happy with my iPod 'classic' and have no reason to update, especially given the current economy. It annoys the **** out of me that iPhone software appears in my Apple update, even though I don't own one. If you want me to buy one (and I would love to do so), you could start by allowing ALL mobile carriers to carry it. But I digress...
Further, it seems that somehow my number of times a song has been played has broken, as has Recently Played Songs. When I plugged in after upgrading to 9.0, the songs I'd been listening to in the car all week did not have any numbers next to them (and yes, I was looking at the iPod list and not the iTunes list). When I checked the actual iPod itself (not plugged in) for recently played songs, NONE of the songs I'd played in the last week are there. They don't show up in the iTunes GUI, either. I don't know when this happened, but it's another annoyance. I really, really, really, really, really hate it when companies create features, let you get used to them and using them, and then take them away for something that's supposedly better. Rarely is it better.
Unfortunately for me, I've become so dependent upon my iPod (and tight in the cash department, and do not have access to a network for the iPhone), that changing to another MP3 player is really not an option. So, the question then is, does anyone know how to revert your database back without going to a previous restore point in Windows?

Source of supply in shopping cart

Hi everybody,
We are on SRM 5.0 (classic mode). When we create a shopping cart the system gets all the sources of supply from the backend system.
we need source of supply have to be suppressed all across any shopping cart other than catalog (like internal goods/services and describe requirment).In case of catalog,contract is assigned to the master catalog.
our requirement is in case of catalog items system should create a backend PO other than catalog items system need not to be find any source of supply from bakcend and it should alaways create backend PR only.
so i have activated sourcing via vendor list and did'nt create any vendor list at all. This ensure that no source of supply is assigned from the backend and also no source of supply assigned from the vendor list as well. so that in case of catalog, source of supply is assigned from catalog and its creating a backend purchase order but when i have changed the location or purchasing organization in shopping cart, system is reseting source of supply for the catalog items as well.
As a result for source of supply is cleaned for the catalog items also,
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Mani

Hi
Which R/3 version are you using ? Please specify clearly, what you want to do ?
Incase i understand you correctly, you want to reset the Vendor details, coming from R/3 backend in the SRM side.
Have you tried implementing the Business Add-Ins to meet your requirement.
Try implementing the BADIs
<u>BBP_SOS_BADI
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK
BBP_TARGET_OBJTYPE
BBP_TARGET_OBJECTS</u>
Note -> first read the standard docuementation provided by SAP, before implementing the BADI using SE18 Transaction.
Alternatively, check whether these SRM configuration settings, might help you out as well.
SRM SPRO Configuration settings
SPRO -> SRM -> Cross Application Basic settings -> Define Objects in Backend System(Purch reqs, Purchase orders, Reservations...........................)
For more details, refer to this link ->
Re: Setting to create Whether Pur. request or Purchase order in R/3 system
Hope it will help.

Issue with Shopping cart out of template

Hi all,
is there any possibility to find out, if a shopping cart is created out of a template?
Background:
I want to check in Check BAdI, if the shopping cart is created from a catalogue or if it is "just" created out of a template.
I cant find a standard flag within function module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL which determines a position within a shopping created out of a template.
Best regards
Andreas

Hi Pradeep,
I am not sure which version you use. I am using SRM 4.0 HP 8 and the field SRC_GUID is always empty.
I am creating SC from a template, from a old version, creating a new one:
The field SRC_GUID ist always '000000000000000'.
I have tried this already, thats not the solution.
Could you confirm in your SRM version (?) that the SRC_GUID is filled within the item if you create the SC out of a template?
Best regards
Andreas

Validate GL Account at SRM shopping cart at account assignment level

Hi,
In the SRM shopping cart system, at Account Assignment Overview level, is there any BADI or user exit or enhancement options to validate the GL Account when the account is selected/key-in?
I try BADI for BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT, BBP_MESSAGES_BADI and BBP_ACC_CHECK_ICC. All is not trigger at Account Assignment level.
Please advice.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement apart from all the validations done by BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI ,
we have to add one more validation (check the asset acquisition date if it is less than the current fiscal year give error message).
This has to done in R/3 .
I checked for the exits in the FM BBP4X_CODINGBLOCK_CHECK_47A and found that there are no exits for this FM.
PLEASE SUGGEST.Any help is appreciated.

Changing "Check Shopping Cart" screen and Completion workflow

Hi,
Below i describe a) the current process, b) the required changes, and c) my questions.
Though it is also about workflows i still thought this was the best place to post the thread.
Current process:
In the process "free text order" i choose Go Shopping >> Shop >> Describe Requirement. I fill in details and complete the next steps.
Now the Completion workflow (WS14000044) has started.
So if I now look on my homepage in SRM i have an approval item which reads:
   Approval
   You can approve or reject shopping carts and read your e-mails relating to the procurement transaction
   You have
   - 1 Workflow Entries in Inbox
   - 0 Unread Documents in Inbox
So i open the list and find one item: Complete shopping cart of mr X.. Now i click on the item and it takes me to "Check Shopping Cart"
At the bottom of the screen is one button: "Change"
Requirements:
1) add two buttons to this screen. One button is "Reject", to reject the shoppping cart directly. The second button "Mail Requester" to send the shopping cart back to the requester and also sends a mail via outlook to inform the requester that this has happened and requesting more information.
2) these buttons should then influence the behaviour of the Completion Workflow. In this workflow (WS14000044) the task Completion (TS14007947) currently has one activated outcome. From my two buttons i would need two more outcomes that allow me to model the other actions that i need i.e. the rejection outcome and the back-to-requester/send-mail outcome.
Questions:
1) is it allowed/possible to add the buttons to the existing screens. Or do i need to create a custom screen and call that instead of the standard screen?
2) is it allowed/possible to modify the completion workflow as described? Or do i need to copy and then modify?
3) How could i make the buttons to interact with the workflow? The only thing i can think of is to create a Z-bus object of the object Form and to modify so that it show my expected outcomes.
4) any helpful links to sdn posts of blogs or otherwise on how to go about to create the necessary changes.
Thx for your input
Kind regards
Robert

Hi Robert,
Again, before technical solutioning, we need to step back and understand the business process and functions of each role (e.g., Buyer, Financial Approver) in the completion and approval workflow.
Here's my understanding of the as-is (correct me if I am wrong). You are using One-Step Spending Limit WF (10000276) for financial approval. This is done by a Financial Approver (I am guessing, the line manager). The Buyer is not part of the process. Now, you want to introduce free-text requisitioning, and, consequently, you want to introduce the Buyer role into the workflow process - to complete the free-text lines (e.g. with vendor, price).
Based on above scenario, I believe your initial solution was not incorrect - introduce Completion WF (14000044) for the completion task, while keeping 10000276 for financial approval.
Now the business wants the Buyer to play a more active role in the process. They want to be able to Reject (the whole cart?) and Inquire (send the cart back to requester with questions). In my mind, it may still be possible to explore keeping the original design with Completion WF without modifying it, and still achieve the business needs. You can explore different ways of doing that: delete SC items instead of Rejecting, add Approval Comments to inquire, etc.
Alternatively, you can replace all your workflows with one - WS14000133 "Spending limit, n-step,
dynamic approvers (BAdI)". Here, you can determine your approvers flexibly via a BAdI implementation. For example:
1. If Total Amount =< Spending Limit of Purchaser, then no approval agents - auto-approve SC.
2. If Total Amount > Spending Limit of Purchaser AND there're no free-text lines, then determine Financial Approver.
3. If Total Amount > Spending Limit of Purchaser AND there're incomplete free-text lines, then determine Buyer; once free-text lines completed - then Financial Approver.
WS14000133 also has back-and-forth functionality which you can use for the inquiries. WS14000133 provides the most flexibilty, but it also involves more effort to implement. Read up on WS14000133 at help.sap.com.
Bottom line - I would focus on evaluating these two standard options: 14000044 with 10000276, or 14000133. You may need to do some pros/cons, cost/benefit analysis. But I see no need to modify or copy SAP templates in your case.
Cheers,
Serguei

Reg the budget check in Shopping cart

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are having a requirement that while creating a shopping cart system should check for the difference of budget amount in R/3 & open shopping carts in SRM and should allow to create SC only if the SC amount less than the difference. Can you people pls suggest the best way to proceed.. Is there any BAdI exists...
Thanks in Advance,
Chandra Sekhar.

Chandra,
to know what you need to check you should understand the ERP report RKACSHOW. As well refer to my old note 520717 regarding budget checks. The related notes look interesting too:
1081758   FAQ: Budget Check/Display
828231    Commitments and SRM
748733    Indicator 'Valuated goods receipt' in extended scenario

Shopping cart Catch-22

I wanted to purchase Eureka, season 1, but in shopping cart - instead of a buy this button - there is a view button that just returns to the Eureka page.
Get error msg. when I try to remove from cart.
Get error msg. when I try to re-add to cart-says that it is already in cart - no duplicates.
Catch-22
Windows XP Pro

Apple, this is why you need to implement a wish list feature. I'll often stumble across a song that I'm not sure I want to buy yet but may be interested in the future. Now, finding out that the shopping cart is limited makes that an even better idea.
I tried submitting this idea in the iTunes Feedback Form, but no go yet. Anyone else want to submit the idea?
