Hyperlinks on SAP MDM Publisher Catalog

Hello Friends,
I need to create a catalog having hyper links.
Can I define hyperlinks in console or some otherplace, so that in the final publisher catalog, I have a hyperlink.
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer.
Edited by: SAMEER CHOPRA on Nov 26, 2009 10:12 AM

Hi Sameer,
Generaly, it is recommended saving URLs in the Text HTMLs table in MDM.
Referencing URLs of the Text HTMLs table enables you to preview the website (right click on the text html record->view detail-> preview tab).
However, I agree with Markus's comment. Accessing hyperlinks In a printed publication seems to me less relevant.
If the requirement is only displaying the URL in the printed catalogue you may also consider storing them as plain texts.

Hedda

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

SAP MDM printing

Hello,
I am working on SAP MDM Publisher.
In Actual Spread, I find that there is lot of manual work. In my catalogue, I want to have 7 fields. For actual print preview, manually I have to see that all fields are visible.
Also, when I hide some object, in family objects tab element goes away but in print preview field is still coming.
Can you guide any smart way of publishing my MDM data in MDM publisher.
Regards,
Sameer.

Hi Rathakrishnan,
It's not a functionality of SAP script, but you have to set an attribute of the output device. Use transaction SPAD, select your printer and hit button Output Device. Then go to Tab 'Output attributes' and set 'Copies as separate output requests (in SAP System)'. This is similar to the collate functionality.
Does this solve your problem?

John.

SRM 7.0 on NW 7.01 with SAP MDM 3.0 Catalog

Hello,
We are implementing the following Components:
SRM 7.0
MDM 7.1
BI
PI 7.0
Portal 7.0
We are currently live with ECC 5.
We will be using the SAP MDM Catalog along with SRM. We will be also implementing MDM to use for Master Data Cleansing. I wanted to know whether we will need to install the SAP MDM Catalog on the SRM7.0 system or can we install it on the MDM 7.1 system and then connect it to SRM?
Any pros/cons if we can use it as part of the MDM landscape?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sheldon,
Great question. Technically speaking, you can certainly use your SRM-MDM repository on the main MDM 7.1 system. However, the following cons apply:
1. Even though it contains several core components from Netweaver (NW) MDM, SRM-MDM Catalog is being developped by SAP as a separate product. The patch releases between SRM-MDM and NW MDM are also not in synch (at least that's the current situation). Therefore, if you have both applications on one MDM system, you will have an undesired dependency related to applying new patches - which may lead to some issues.
2. Performance of one application will be impacted by the load on the other one.
3. Down time of one application will impact the users of the other one.
4. Upgrades will be more difficult to handle.
On my recent project, the direction from SAP was to use two different systems - one for SRM-MDM, one for NW MDM.
Cheers,
Serguei

MDM PUblisher - List of values

Hello All,
I would like to know if SAP MDM Publishers offers the possibility to restrict the proucts to be published (Paper publishing) using a list of values (xould be Product Codes) that would be uploaded using Excel or any similar format ???
The Business purpose is to create "Mini" catalog based on a restricted list of products.
Best Regards
Cyril S

Hi Cyril,
I would say, this is one of the best feature of SAP MDM. You can definitely create a mask.. you can add products to this mask using a list of products from a text file. and then you can use this mask to publish your mini catalog...This way you can restrict product to be being published...
In addition to this you can also further select records to be further published using the records tab in publisher...
hope that clears your question. Please revert if you have any further question..

I am able to save publication but when I try to edit the in-design or quark-express template, it says that "initial template does not exist". I am not sure as what i am missing here as i have installed the quark-express plugin.
Also i am stuck at the point where i can integrate it with The DTP application and can view some catalog or actual material which I can print. Any pointers / help/ documentation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

SRM Product / Material creation - Data flow to SAP MDM

Dear SAP friends,
I need your help with 2 issues. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Our client needs to create products and make them available to purchase almost immediately.
The scenario we had working for the last 2 years was: product creation in SRM (fields: short description / product category / measure unit), that would then be sent to SAP MDM for data enrichment, through BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG (JOB running every 1 minute). This solution worked well for the last 2 years.
Recently, we are having some problems with this job. We noticed that, sometimes SRM doesn´t send the new products to MDM, and we think it´s a report performance problem. The report doesn´t maintain is normal behavior when executed every 1 minute.
SAP advice is to only run this report once a day. That would obviously require having a minimum time frame of 1 day between product creation and its availability (purchase), which isn´t acceptable in this client business model.
Question 1: Did anyone have a client with similar requirement? What was the implemented solution?
Because of report performance problems, we are running it (BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG) every 5 minutes. It happens that sometimes, more than one catalog manager creates products in that time frame, and MDIS when importing the products to MDM, creates one unique workflow JOB making it impossible to assign it to both catalog managers for enrichment.
Question 2: How can we ensure that SRM sends only one product per xml files sent to XI / PI ? Or, perhaps, ensure that XI / PI splits the xml file sent from SRM into several files with one product each.
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Best Regards,
João S. Carvalho

Hi meka
In product costing values flows as follows;
In product cost calculation raw material prices are costed which comes from material master in MM01
Product operations: i.e material BOM and master receipe or routings from PP module.From PP module operation costs comes in product costing.
In CO module: In Tcode KP26 we maintain activity\cost center planning for activities like machine hours, set up hours, labour hours etc.Here we define plan quantity and plan prices.
In Cost Sheet (KZS2) we maintain base cost elements & overheads and While order creation we calculate planned cost of that particular material.and then check the variances after getting actual cost of product.
Hope this will help you and if found useful assign points.
Let me know if you need more information.

Nilesh.

How to configure CSWP on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item page on Publishing site in a Cross Site Publishing scenario?

I have created a Cross Site Publishing Environment in SharePoint Online. After connected
to my catalog. 2 pages automatically created. But in "Category" page, if i click on an item it will bring me to the original path/item located in Authoring site. How to configure Content Search Web Part on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item
page on Publishing site?
Can we do this by changing the property mappings?

Hi,
According to my understanding, you want users to be redirected to pages in the current site instead of the source page of the search results in a Content Search Web
Part.
By default, the hyperlinks of the search results in a Content Search Web Part will point to the source page where the data comes from, when the hyperlink of each result
is clicked, user will be redirected to the corresponding source page.
If the data comes from other sites, what page do you want to display when user clicks a search result in the Content Search Web Part?
Property Mappings can help to control the content of each part of a display template, however, there seems no such property in the search result can help to redirect
to the pages of the current site, thus, it might not be able to meet your requirement.
More information about customizing the Content Search Web Part:

Hi,
Does anyone know when SAP will have a plug in for Publisher/Adobe InDesign CS5 instead of CS4?
Kind regards

SAP MDM and Zycus or Zoomix or Kalido or Trillium

Hi All,
please, could you help me to understand better which is the best enterprise-wide master data management software solution for harmonizing, storing and managing master data over time??
Even if Ill use SAP MDM; I need to cleanse and harmonize MD.
What about Zynapse? Kalido? Zoomix? Trillium??
Thank u in advance
Regards,
da

Hi,
Kalido MDM :
Master (reference) data management is thought as a special form of data warehouse federation(A federated data warehouse consists of a set of data warehouse instances that operate semi-autonomously, are generally geographically or organizationally disparate, but which can be thought of as one large data warehouse).
   However, experience shows that such systems are complex to manage and that, over time,the absence of a common warehouse (a single common source of master data) leads to inconsistency and frequent errors in transactional data.
    Furthermore, such systems generally do not easily lend themselves to being rapidly adapted to new business requirements since they are often dependent upon writing low-level code to effect the revisions.
            The high level architecture for a federated set of data warehouses with integrated data, based on maintenance of master data using a Master Data Warehouse, which supplies
master data to both the data warehouse federation and the underlying source systems.
It is important to note here that the Master Data Warehouse is in effect an operational system since it manages all master data flowing through the organization.
This demands effective processes and procedures for management and ownership of master data.
SAP MDM
Companies striving to accelerate business growth and improve business performance need to innovate and remain flexible to dynamic market forces. NetWeaver provides the ideal platform for enabling such innovation and flexibility. Satyams NetWeaver Practice provides a host of solutions based on the primary user interface (EP) framework, the primary integration engine (XI), the primary data management tool (MDM), and the business process orchestration tool that enable customers to:
     Design, build, and implement new business processes
     Knit together disparate processes and systems
     Develop a unified view of information from every facet of the organization, and deliver it to stakeholders when and how they need it through a dedicated NetWeaver Center of Excellence
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) enables master data on customers, partners and products to be consolidated and harmonized across the enterprise, making it available to all staff and business partners. A key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity across all IT systems.
The SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) component of SAP NetWeaver creates the preconditions for enterprise services and business process management. The functionality represents customers, products, employees, vendors, and user-defined data objects in unified form. With SAP NetWeaver MDM, customers can manage master data and supplemental content, such as texts, PDF documents, high-resolution images, or diagrams in a central business information warehouse.
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Content Consolidation - centralised cleansing, de-duplication and consolidation, enabling key mapping and consolidated group reporting in SAP BI. No re-distribution of cleansed data.
Master Data Harmonisation - as for Content Consolidation, plus re-distribution of cleansed, consolidated master data.
Central Master Data Management - as for Master Data Harmonisation, but all master data is maintained in the central MDM system. No maintenance of master data occurs in the connected client systems.
Rich Product Content Management - Catalogue management and publishing. Uses elements of Content Consolidation to centrally store rich content (images, PDF files, video, sound etc.) together with standard content in order to produce product catalogues (web or print). Has standard adapters to export content to DTP packages.
Global Data Synchronization - provides consistent trade item information exchange with retailers through data hubs (e.g. 1SYNC) Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.
Trillium :
It is basically used for Data profiling.It can be used for data enhancements with certain address masters and other masters avaialble in the box. There is a lot of data quality analysis can be done in Trillium
Advantages of Zoomix :
1.Fast, accurate, automated, self-learning system :
2.No scripting or rule development required Zoomix Accelerator never requires the development of scripts or the manual definition or maintenance of data processing rules. The system automatically interprets data to learn the optimal matching, normalization and classification required for any data domain.
3.Processes all types of complex corporate data Zoomix Accelerator works equally well with product data, customer data, supplier data, financial data, etc. in any language or combination of languages.
4.Rapid integration into existing applications and business workflows The system's integration with daily user workflow provides objective, on-the-fly data correction. Erroneous, duplicated and incorrectly categorized data are repaired immediately, without disrupting routine business functions.
Reward points if helpful
