How to work with Product Catalogs that have multiple levels

I'm having difficulty understanding how to go about setting up a catalog site with multiple levels in the hierarchy. For example, the standard walkthroughs will display product categories and products. When the product category page is viewed, it displays
a list of products. That's fine.
I would like to have categories, sub-categories, and products. For example:
1. Bicycles
a. Road Bikes
b. Mountain Bikes
2. Clothing
a. shirts
b. shorts
The top level landing page should list all categories. Clicking on a category should take the user to a page that lists all sub-categories for that category. How are these landing pages created? It's simple to display the list of products in a sub-category,
as that's just a content search. But how do I generate a list of subcategories (or categories) dynamically, without having to manually create a page for each one?
Also, each category / subcategory should have it's own metadata, such as description, contact info, etc.
Thanks,
Mike G.

after you connect to a product catalog in site settings->manage catalog connections in a publishing site, page layouts and pages will created automatically for you in the publishing site. for a simple test, you can just leave everything to it's default
value when you connect to a catalog. you can find address for these page created in site settings->term store management tool, click on the term under your site collection group, and open the term-driven pages.

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.

I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

And it kills me that a friend who has pc computers and just has an iphone and ipad can breeze through all this with no problem and he still has XP. So Apple goes back and helps old OS for pc but not for it's own kind!!!
Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
(P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

How to check the sales orders that have been created with an Rebate Agreeme

Dear Experts,
Do you know how to check the sales orders that have been created with an Rebate Agreements?
Thanks!!

Hi Hoo Laa,
I have one way but little lengthy.
Rebate condition always appears in the billing document.
So 1st you extract the sales order list from Table VBAK.
once you have the sales order list then you can put your order list in Table VBFA --> Extract the billing document list.
Now put that list in the table VBRK.
In VBRK you will get the "Doc. condition" --> put that doc condition in table KONV with your rebate condition type.
It will show the result.
Later, through VLOOKUP you can identify in which order you have given rebate to your customer.
Already said, Little lengthy

I use iphone 4 ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app buy i cant buy it cos it says the email Id is for U.S why am in Nigeria. if i created another apple id using Nigeria country, will the app work with ma iphone that already have another id to purchase app

i use iphone 4 with ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app but my previous apple id is for U.S using to get free app while i live in Nigeria. if i create another id for Nigeria region to buy Whatsapp app, will it work with my iphone that already have id?

Hello Emmanuel,
It sounds like you are trying to purchase an app on your iPhone while in Nigeria. You do not need to create a new Apple ID to do this. You will just need change the iTunes Store country in your iPhone settings and update your billing information to match the country you are in:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

RAJESH KUMAR

Hi Rajesh,
Development Component : The projects(say WebDynpro) are by default private. i.e. the components inside a project are not accesible from another project. To make them as public, so that it can be shared, we are creating Development Components.
Scenario we use DC's : We use them in distributed computing, where a product will be developed by a team of members.
Know the hierarchy:
> A product may have as many as Software Components.
> A Software Component may have as many as Development Components.
> A Development Component is the smallest building block in the hierarchy.

Following are the steps involved in general :
1. Select the filter Worklist and enter your name in the input field of the object list selection. Press the enter key. Your object list is displayed.
2. Place your cursor on the highest node(PROJECT BY XXXXXX). Select Create project from the context menu by right-clicking on it. You see the dialog box Create project.
3. Enter a project name, description, packages, and namespaces for each system used. Leave the dialog box by pressing the enter key.
Specify transport requests. The Project is created and appears in the object list.
4. Place your cursor on the new project in the object list and select Create extension in the context menu. You see the dialog box Create extension.
5. Enter a name and description. Define a Business Object and extension type. Press the enter key.The extension is created and appears in the object list below the project.
6. Place your cursor on the new extension in the object list and select Call wizard in the context menu. The wizard for the extension action starts automatically.
7. Fill in the input fields following the notes on screen and end the wizard by clicking on Complete.The extension tasks have been created and appear in the object list.
Project and extension are created !
Also take care that you have the Transport Requests and Save the Project and Extensions against a Development Class !
In general , EEW will automatically puts the fields on the Screen. We donot want to worry abt that !
The generated BADIs can be implemented to do some Checks(for example) !
I hope this helps !
Thanks

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
Example: Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
Be well...

Can any one tell me how to work with field exit????

Hi
Can any one tell me how to work with field exit I know how to create them. I want to know how it works. Actually I want to create a field exit for T-CODE MIRO. Where I want to put the value ebeln of the PO Reference tab into the Assignment of details tab and make Assignment field disable.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Follow the Steps,
1. Go to CMOD transaction
2. From the menu "GOTO->TEXT ENHANCEMENTS->DATA ELEMENTS-   ->NEW DE CUST DOCU".
3. In the displayed box specify the data element and
   press either "CHANGE" or " Ref to screen" button
4. CHANGE button is for defining the documentation
5. "Ref. to screen" if for assigning the screen in which
   a field has the this type data element.
   Note: You should have used this data element for a
         field in that screen.
6. Now it will ask for Function Module name, specify the
   FM name and double click it. It will go to the editor.
7. Now using the Import parameters code accordingly
8. Activate and go back
9. Now "Assign the created program ( that is FM) to the
   screen by specifying the Program name and Screen
   number.
10. Now save and activate.
Note: No need to create a separate project for creating field exit through transaction CMOD.
I hope this is suffice.

How to Work with Composite Primary Key

Hi All,
I'm working with Toplink JPA. Here I have A problem with inserting into database table which have composite Primary Key.
What I'm doing is, I have two tables. to maintain many to many relation between these two tables I created another intermediate table which consists of foreign Keys (reference) of above two tables.
Now these two foreign Keys in the Intermediate table made as composite Primary Keys.
When I'm trying to the data in the Intermediate table I'm getting the foreign Keys values are null..
could anyone suggest me how to work with composite Primary Keys
Thanks,

I have tried to create the new entity several ways. I have tried to create one with the default constructor then set this entity on each of the other entities, I have also tried to pass in the entities to the join entity and set them there, but this doesn't work. Any help would be very appreciated!
