Import Products

I'm trying to import products from a spreadsheet (CSV file) into a client site. I downloaded the import template, filled it out and then imported it. Everything worked fine except the "Tag" information ends up as a "Keyword" in the product record instead of a "Tag". I'm just using the word "Base" (no quotation marks) as my tag.
Any one know why this might be happening?

The tag in the spreadsheet is keywords in the system. The actual tagging in the system is not in the spreadsheet at this time.

Import Production orders with released status

We are using DTW to import production orders. It allows to import as "planned" status only and not as as "released status". We have hundreds of production orders per day and its a pain to update each production order to "released" status so that it can be available for reciepts from production and thereafter after recieving the items, changing each and every production order to "closed". Please advice

Hi Mohamed,
please use the following for the production order status in the template.
(1)Planned   :-> boposPlanned
(2)Released :-> boposReleased
(3)Closed    :-> boposClosed
(4)Cancelled :-> boposCancelled
Please refer to the SDK DI help file for the details information.
hope it helps,

How to import page content similar to importing products?

Hi,
I have built a sample page for my site. There are another 30 website pages using the same structure but with different content I need to build. Instead of copying and pasting the same page and replace with different data, is there a way that I can import page content, something like importing products? It would be much quicker to finish the work. Cheers.
Alex

Hi Alex, you should be using templates and content holders rather then having everything just in pages.

Import products into Product catalog - WWM1 ERP E-commerce

Hi guru's,
Is there a standard LSMW or program form SAP to import products (XML file) into Product catalog (wwm1). We have arround 10,000 materials and it is practically hard to enter them manually.
We are implementing SAP ERP E-commerce and are on ECC 6.0.
Thanks
Ram

While lot of effort is put by SAP in a BAPI to read Catalog or Catalog Export programs, there isn't any direct program to automatically load catalog.
We are out of luck if we don't use the automatic option in Catalog - that is to load catalog as per the hierarchy. If we have to use manual then there are no standard LSMW / programs for TCODE WWM1 to load products in catalog. We have found that the screens don't work well for a BDC type loading and hence we could not use LSMW easily.
Now, here is the IDOC for [Product Catalog - PRDCAT / PRDCAT01 |https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdcat01_d.htm] and one for [Product Catalog Item - PRDPOS / PRDPOS01|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdpos01_d.htm]. What do these give you? Nothing much really - you can use these as a way of input of your XML catalog data. But you still have to write your own program to load the data.
In CRM, there are bunch of function modules when used in a coordinated way, can be used to build a loading program.

SCE Import Product Classes From Siebel

Hi All
Anybody know how to install SCE Studio in Eclipse to import product classes in Design Studio from Siebel CRM
Thank's in advance

What You need to do is to place ShoppingBasket class in a package and import to fully qualified class name (which is class name with package name). I also discourage You to use scriptlets - it's an obsolete, old technology.

Import Product Price and Condition using LSMW IDoc method

Hi Friends,
I am working on the Product Import to CRM from flat file using LSMW IDoc method using the "CRMXIF_PRODUCT_MATERIAL_SAVE" message type.
I am able to import the entire product with its required details except the Price and its conditions.
Can anyone please let me know which structure or with message type to be used to import the Product Price and condition using the IDoc method.
Please pass on your valuable comments.
Thanking you,
Naveen

Hi Naveen.
I am doing the same thing but only the product gets created and the details like short text, unit etc. do not get populated. The idoc gets processed successfuly. Can you share the fields that are required to be mapped or are mandatory.

thank you in advance,

Db.Yes its always better to not to import tables in SYSTEM user. So i suggest you to listout the tales which you have imported and drop those using 'DROP Table.. CASCASE' (be very carefull not to delete system's tables)
However there is no conflict in functionality of oracle if you are not going to use.

Product Release Date being default set to 01-Jan-2000 when exporting and importing product file

Hi there,
Just putting this out there to see if anyone else has experienced this problem.
We've just redeveloped an art site that relies on the product release date to order work, newest first, by the date they added it {tag_productlist,,,20,releasedate,true,true}
However, we've hit an issue whereby the 'release date' field is set to 01-Jan-2000 when we export and then import the product file, thus chnaging the ordering. The date can't be set on the import file (unlike web apps) and we haven't changed thousands of products manually. BC support have been stumped, suggesting it's our Mac's system date, but this is set automatically and accurate...and we don't want to change the release date anyway, that should just be the date the product was originally released.
Any thoughts or help would be greatfully received as this was a key part of the site design/development. This is the site http://hanguppictures.com
Cheers
Paul

Ran into the same issue. I was using the release date to flag latest products, regardless of ordering. Unfortunately running a product import then destroyed all that work.
Found this thread with a staff reponse regarding it not being possible to set release dates using import, but it doesn't explain why release dates get reset.

VAMT 3.0 Database Merge Error When Importing Product Activation

Hi all,
We are attempting to combine data currently stored in local sql server from several VAMT installs into a single database on a SQL Server 2008.
We export the data into a cilx file from the local database, change the VAMT connection to the new server database successfully, then try to import the file back into that new database. We get the error:
The MERGE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_ActiveProduct_AvailableProduct". The conflict occurred in database "VAMT", table "base.AvailableProduct".
Being a database guy, I can see that the problem is that there is a missing reference key from AvailableProduct when the script attempts to load products into ActiveProduct.
Has anybody found a way around this? We have tried first importing a Products Only file, but that got the same error. I am considering having to reorder the stored procedure that loads the data, although I don't much like the idea of having to
rewrite black box code.
Thanks,
Reinis

Hi,
Here is the guidance:

Importing Production Data to SAP IDES

Dear All,
We need a Server for User Level SAP Training. Last time we use SAP IDES for user training but it is not very useful to the user.
The main issue is that no real data is there. Is it possible that I will export full database from Production at DB2 level and import it in IDES machine.

Hi,
I would strongly recommend you not to do this. IDES is a demo system with some default data in it. Definetly you will land up in to issue if you try to put your production data in to IDES as I suspect there should be lot of differences. So dont do that as it is not recommended. The better way is to remove the IDES completely (If it is not required anymore) and install SAP on it (Not IDES version) and after that export your production data in to it by following appropriate method.
If you require IDES to be remaining, then either check for another server or get a new server and after that install SAP and export production data.

Does anyone have similar experience? and how do you work around it?

I just pulled the same file today, from the OTN > BIDW > OBExample page. And got exactly the same error. Not surprising, since all the XML definition files in that zip date back to March 2005.
There are two other definition files, that may or may not work.
- The "Product Star" file uses the PRODUCT_DIM table, instead of the denormalized tables.
- The "Product Unmapped" file sets up the same dimension / hierarchy / attributes, but does not map it to the tables. Leaving that for you to do (hopefully without issues).
You may have problems deleting the existing Product dimension though.
And so you might just have to scrap the whole Workspace and start from scratch.
---- best that I could find, good luck to others ---
NOTE TO PMs >>> could you look into this and post a definitive fix / change the OBE instructions. thanks

Is there a way I can have Business Catalyst automatically import product content from Amazon? (e.g. a Web App I could build, perhaps?)

I'm currently building a site using Drupal that is basically a huge book database and book review site. In order to acquire basic information about certain books I'm using an Amazon module that automatically pulls information into my Drupal database (such as author name, page count, publication date, etc.) based on any ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) I enter. It's a pretty nice arrangement. Also, people can click on a link that leads them to the item on Amazon so that they can purchase it and I can collect a puny affiliate commission. Yay Internet!
But I'd like to use Muse and Business Catalyst instead. I was able to create a Web App version of my database but I can't figure out how to 1) automatically import based on ASIN and 2) automatically link each book record in the database to its page on Amazon. Honestly, if I could just get the info into the database alone I'd be happy.
I'm afraid that Adobe would have to create some sort of connection on their end that interfaces with the Amazon API - and therefore there is no way to create such a website now using Muse. But, of course, I don't know everything so I ask you all: is there a way this can happen now?
Thanks for all of your input!

To do stuff like that will always need custom coding and things like API work. You will never be able to use Muse for that, its a basic site design tool that can hook up to BC modules. You will need to use coding software and have custom API work done for things like this.

Product Licence importing via tab delimitted file questions

I am looking at using the import purchase records functionality to import licence data from a CMDB.
Because i have product licencing data in another system, i need to integrate them somehow, and came across the import feature.
it is a business requirement to produce software compliance reports that are accurate on any given day. Now i can get the data out of
the CMDB and into the required tab delimited format
Doing an initial extract and import seems pretty straight forward, basically get all the software products and thier associated allowed installations figure, do reconcilliations.
But over time, when updates are required, how does ZAM handle subsequent imports of the same products. eg. if on the first import
say theres initially 10 licences for ABCSoftware.
next import, 2 licences have been added since the last import giving 12 current licences
and likewise the extract from our CMDB says theres 12 licences for ABCSoftware.
once imported into ZAM, will ZAM report 12 licences or 22 (10 previously and new 12)
how does this work? the documentation does not give this level of detail.
And similar for expired or decommisioned licences, if we've gone from 10 to 5 licences for ABCSoftare, does the import function have any smarts to it?
would it be required to delete previosly imports product licences and start again, having to do rreconcilliatios for every product again?
Hope this make sense. Thanks.

Product Import Never Notifies When Finished and Successful

For over a year now it seems BC never notifies when a product import has successfully completed, if you are importing more than a couple hundred records. This happens whether you use IE, Firefox, or Chrome in Windows, and it happens in the many different BC sites I import products into.
The import begins and the loading spinner appears, but it stays stuck on this forever and never goes to the screen to tell you the import is done. You therefore have no way to know if the import finishes correctly or not. It's frustrating because if you abort the import screen too early you harm the import, so you have to wait forever to be sure you've allowed enough time for it to complete.
After you abort, the only method to know if it worked is in your last record of the import file, have some changed info that you can later lookup in BC Admin to see if it transferred.
Presenlty if I try to import more than 500 records at a time it will always fail.

Had to import 42,000 products. Found I can split the CSV or TXT file into pieces using a free program like GSplit into 2000 record subfiles and import those OK. While there is no notification from BC when the import is done running, testing shows that it takes a little less than 25 minutes for BC to import 2000 products, so after that time I can kill the never-ending BC job, then check in BC product search to verify if the last product in my import file has in fact been imported without error.
Took more than 11 hours to complete the import this way.
Looking forward to the release of the new BC import/export software as soon as possible...

LSMW: Product import error

Hi Firends,
We are using LSMW IDoc method for importing Product.
We are using "Message Type CRMXIF_PRODUCT_SAVE_M" and "Basic Type CRMXIF_PRODUCT_SAVE_M01"
When the IDoc is generated, it giving error :
Attribute ID for Value , ISO Unit EA is missing in Object No. 1
Please let me know how to slove the issue.
thanking you,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
I'm assuming you are facing this problem at the time of processing IDOC. First try to check IDOC segment field, where you need to place unit of measurment field. If this value is populated in IDOC then this entry is missing in CRM tables.
Error Indicates,
Unit of Measurement EA is missing in the table T006A.
If you are using ECC and CRM environment, then download DNL_CUST_BASIS3 object into CRM and reprocess your failed IDOC. It will download unit of measurments into CRM table T006A from ECC table T006A.
Regards,
Bhanu
