How to create a product in Standalone CRM System?

Hi All,
I am new to SAP-CRM and I got a problem while creating a product (without downloading from R/3) using hierarchies.
First I created attributes, set types and assigned to categories and hierarchies.
After this step when I tried to create a product using T-Code COMMPRO1 I could not found my category id in the list.
I rechecked wthether I created hierarchy correctly or not and also created other hierarchy but could not see any category id in T-code COMMPRO1.
I think I am missing some steps here, can any one please help me.
I will reward with points.
Thanks,
Madhavi

Hi Madhavi,
You also need to assign the hierarchy to the application Product in Tcode: COMM_PRAPPLCAT.
There we have two settings,
1. Assign hierarchy to application.
   Make a new entry. Choose application Product and assign the hierarchy you
   have created.
2. Assign hierarchy to product type.
   In case you wish to have a separate hierarchy for each product type ( Material,
   Service, Warranty etc) than use this setting.
   Make new entry. Choose a product type and assign hierarchy to it.
Wish the information is useful. If it helps, do reward with points.

How to create a product catalog in crm(by the end user of the system)?

how can we an end user create a product catalog?
what is the diff b/n prod cat and prod?
we download the prod from r/3.
how we get the prod cat done in crm for the customers and consumers and how it is done?
thank you,

hi
first of all we need to look at what is catalog management before proceding with product and product catalog.
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product descriptions, multimedia objects, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information, structured in such a way that most meets your customers needs.
Product catalogs are implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting your products in the Web shop.
difference between the product and product catalog
this is not the thing that product and product catalog are completely different entity.
Product catalog :   A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media, for example printed format or CD-ROM.
You can create various catalogs for your products in the product master and use them according to a validity date. For example, you could use certain products for the summer season, and other products for the winter season.
You can also tailor your product catalog to meet other needs by creating catalog variants. For example, you can create a catalog in English with the prices displayed in US Dollars.
so by above definition it is very much clear that products are actually assign to the catalog,i will give you an analogy that museum is a kind of catalog and you add different pictures to the museum,in the same way you add product to the product catalog according to the acatlog variant.
Now how you assign product to product catalog
Product Assignment
You assign products manually or automatically to a catalog area, depending on the catalog type. The product ID, product description, and status of all products is displayed, as is the information as to whether the item contains accessories or if it is a configurable product.
Prerequisites
You have created products in your product master in SAP CRM under Accounts and Products
Process
You select a catalog area in your product catalog, and edit the item list by assigning products to the area.
Manual Assignment
You can assign products manually on an individual basis or by copying a catalog area. You tend to choose manual product assignment for marketing-oriented catalogs that are subjected to editorial controls.
      Individual assignment
      In this case you select the catalog area in which the product should be assigned, manually search for the product in the product master, and assign it to the area.
      Copying items from catalog areas
      You select an area or subarea from another catalog and copy it to your new catalog. The system copies all products from the copied area to the new catalog, as long as they belong to the distribution chain assigned to the target catalog variant. From these products, you can then manually determine which products from the copied area you want to keep and which items you wish to delete.
The following is true for manually assigned products:
      You can activate or deactivate items on an individual basis.
      You can edit the list of accessories for manually assigned products. The system determines which accessories are maintained for the product in the product master and displays them in the item area of the catalog. You select which accessories should be displayed for the product in the catalog and activate them.
      Manually assigned products can be included or removed from catalog views on an individual basis.
Automatic Assignment
You can assign products automatically to a catalog by transferring product hierarchies from your product master to the catalog areas. The categories, items, attributes, and documents contained in the product hierarchy are copied to the new catalog.
You use automatic product assignment mainly for functional catalogs, where products can be copied with very few changes, from the product categories of the product master. It enables a standardized characterization of your products in the catalog.
The following is true for products assigned to the catalog using product hierarchy transfer:
      Product categories which make up the hierarchies become catalog areas in the catalog.
      Product categories in the product hierarchy must be assigned to the distribution chain to which the target catalog variant is assigned. Otherwise the category is not transferred. The same applies to the items, texts, and documents assigned to the category.
      Items are always active and cannot be individually activated or deactivated.
      Accessories maintained for transferred product in the product master are automatically included and displayed in the catalog.
      Transferred items cannot be individually included in catalog views or removed from them. Instead all items of the hierarchy are always contained in the view.
      Lists of characteristics for transferred categories and items can be automatically created when transferring product hierarchies. The transferred values are included in the item overview of the product catalog.

How To create a new R/3 source System ?

Hello,
Can somebody guide me to a white paper or something related which explains in detail how to create a new R/3 source System in BW?

hi jay,
while i don't have a white paper, it was as simple as right-clicking the source systems tree in AWB and creating a new one - the process is simplified if you're using release 3.0E up, but i can't help you much if not. but you basically have to create an RFC connection to the source system, create a BW user, assign the IDOCs properly (this one i don't know how to do), and linking them all up together in one source system.
if i come across any notes, i'd be more than happy to help.
i'll try asking our Basis people too, just in case they know of anything i could point you at.

How to create a backend administrator content management system?

How to create a backend administrator content management system using SQLyog515 and JSP only.

Have a look at Perch
Perch - The really little content management system (CMS) - Perch
It requires a php/mysql database to run but the tables and set up are all automated through the Perch set up files - you just need a server that runs php/mysql. It works on the same principals as the one Ben suggested but its a lot cheaper for a one off site - however if you intend to build more CMS driven sites the one Ben suggested might be more financially viable in the long run.
The nice thing about Perch CMS is it fits in with your workflow unlike Wordpress/Joomla where you have to jump through hoops to change anything.
Plus I think you can take Perch for a spin before buying (or at least you could when I was exploring CMSs) - you can't with Power CMS. I never investigated Power CMS beacuse I would not buy something before trying it. It looks good but it might be a bit dated as it doesnt seem to be in continuous develoment. Perch is in a constant state of development and the guys are working to make it better on a daily basis.

Use the following IMG path.
MM -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without wizard -> Group together valuation areas (T Code OMWD). The Val.Grpg Code in this customizing is a freely definable 4-character code. You can then use this as valuation modifier in MM-FI account determination (OBYC).

How to create switch documents in SAP CRM?

Hi,
I'm trying to create switch documents in SAP CRM. I'm using method CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG=>CREATE_SWITCH_MESSAGE but one of the parameters is CONTEXT...
Someone knows how this parameter should be filled?
Thanks,
André

Hi Andre,
the class CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG is used by the classes of the utilities process framework to create a switch doc in the context of a process. The context parameter is a reference to the process context. The class CL_CRM_IU_PR_CNTR_START, for example, uses CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG in the ON_POD_CHANGED method to create a switch doc.
While it is possible to set up a process context in a custom program the real question is what are you trying to achieve? Maybe it is easier to solve your requirement in the context of the process framework that to start from scratch.
Are you aware of the concepts underlying the utilities process framework? If not have a look at the following documents:
Process Framework in Contract Management - SAP CRM for Utlilities
https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001113322009E/Utilities_Prozess_FW_en.pdf (available at SAP Service Marketplace -> Solutions -> SAP for Utilities -> SAP for Utilities - Product Information -> SAP CRM for Utilities -> Cookbooks&Guidelines -> Utilities_Prozess_FW_en.pdf )

Hi Madhavi,
You also need to assign the hierarchy to the application Product in Tcode: COMM_PRAPPLCAT.
There we have two settings,
1. Assign hierarchy to application.
   Make a new entry. Choose application Product and assign the hierarchy you
   have created.
2. Assign hierarchy to product type.
   In case you wish to have a separate hierarchy for each product type ( Material,
   Service, Warranty etc) than use this setting.
   Make new entry. Choose a product type and assign hierarchy to it.
