Error Message - Invalid Parent Category for product

Hi Campaign Experts,
I am getting error message "Invalid Parent Category for product" in campaign when I am trying to assign a service product to campaign. Even I tried assigning sales product and also assigning at campaign element level, but the error always appears.
On the campaign screen in CRM 7.0 webUI, it allows me to search product and displays the product during search but raise error when I select the product.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
Just maintain Product hierarchy in :
SPRO->Customer Relationship Management->Account Planning->Product Assignments->Assign Product Hierarchies
Here you maintain Product hierarchy which has been used in your Product which you are trying to enter in Campaign.

-Error Message-
ExecuteBaseLOgic : Invalid Dimension:CATEGORY
Please let me know how to rectify the above error message.
Thanks.
With regards,
Anand Kumar

Hi,
It looks like there is a problem with your category dimension. Please try to process the dimension again selecting your application and full process. You ave to check also into Constants.lgl file located into Webfolders\<appset>\AdminApp\<application name> if the cstegorydim is properly assigned to your category dimension.
You acn also have a look into the logic log file located into Webfolders\<appset>\<application name>\Private publications\<user name>\Temp Files, maybe you can find more details about your error.
However, the error is related to default logic (you can retry to validate and save it) and application structure(you can try to modify your application), not to evdre. You will receive the same error trying to send data even using other methods.
Best regards,
Mihaela

How to make a category required for all files created within a folder

I've defined a category. It has attributes which have been flagged as required.
When I view the properies of a particular workspace (library), the category is shown as available to the workspace. However, the category is not shown as required. And the "required" checkbox is not clickable.
So .. how, from the OCS DHTML applet, do I make a particular category a required category for all files in a folder?

Perhaps the Category Attribute is not marked as "configurable" when it was created. You can check this by "switching into Admin Mode" and drilling down the Categories using "Manage Categories" link. Check if the category attribute is marked as configurable or not.

Uploading file with an enforced category

I am trying to upload files to a directory with an enforced category. I took the HandlingEnforcedCategories.java from the DEV Kit, modified to my requirements and still running into issue. It's something to do with library/workspace I think which I am still confused about.
My sandbox path is /regionUS/BUSINESS%20SECTOR/ (I am escaping the scape or else the api chokes)
My library/workspace is CUSTOMERS (library/bookshelf icon shows up here)
My folder where category is applied is COOLEZ which is under CUSTOMERS
I am trying to upload images and apply category to /regionUS/BUSINESS%20SECTOR/CUSTOMERS/COOLEZ/IMAGES/2009/04
all the folders exist and the category exist too but I am still getting the error that says
"Required metadata folder missing. Ensure prerequisite sample has been run."
The question is why would this complain about the missing metadata folder?
Here are the couple interested methods

I finally got the code working that uploads a file with the attached catogory values. The problem was the internalAttributeMap that had to be created with CategoryUtils.getCategoryAttrInternalNames
I will post the code later with some cleanup. The documentation is not very friendly. The example code is very confusing. I don't have any books on it and I didn't go to any of Oracle's training either.
Do you guys know of any good books, sites or blogs on development with Cotnent DB?

Problem in Product Category after upgrade

Hi Experts,
The problem occur after upgrade from CRM 6 to CRM 7. When doing the creation of campaign after inputting the Product ID a error message appear 'Invalid Parent Category for Product ____' . Found out that this checking was not available in CRM 6. Now we cant configure the product because this product comes from another system.
the checking is under CL_CRM_MKTGS_PROD_ASSIGN method CREATE_ITEM.
IF <fs_category_guid> IS INITIAL AND
           <fs_category2_guid> IS INITIAL.
          lv_msgv1 = lv_product_id.
          MESSAGE e031(crm_mktgs_products) WITH lv_msgv1 INTO mv_message_text.
          add_message_symsg( iv_log_type = cl_crm_mktgs_constants=>log_type_function ).
          RETURN.
Appreciate for any input or idea.
Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Etrafanob

Hi Etrafanob, Experts,
I was wondering if this issue has been resolved, and if yes - how. Having the same here after an Upgrade from 4.0 to 7.0.
Thank you very much!

Product allocation is not working after setting all required config!

Hello SD gurus, Would you please help me to resolve this issue?
I followed and configured all the required steps for product allocation in ECC 6.0 Version still the product allocation is not working as expected.
Here are the steps performed
1. Created procedure through OV1Z
Maintained Product allocation procedureT.code OV1Z
2. Maintain product allocation object Transaction code: OV2Z
3. Create required info structure as per requirement T.code MC21
4. Specify Hierarchy and Define the “Product allocation planning structure”
Transaction code: OV3Z
5.Define Consumption periods
6. Control product allocation
T. code: OV4Z
Selected the product allocation procedure and given the required criteria and assigned to Info. Structure S991. Activated ‘Requirement category’ for product allocation
8. T.code OVZ0
Activate schedule line category for product allocation
S991 Info structure Planning parameters updated
Mc7F
Create update
T.code MC24
Activate the update
T.code OMO1
Create planning Hierarchy
T.code: MC61/62
Maintain planning type
. T.Code: MC8A/B
Created the product allocation plan for required quantity through MC94 IN spite of reserving stock as shown against the product allocation material specific and customer specific product allocation is not worked and the regular Atp check allocated stock to some other customer when created SO.
Thanks for your help in advance
Srini

Hi Sumitra,
Thanks a lot for your quick response!
Actually to say availability check is working but not product allocation.
I checked the settings in Material master MRP 3 view for strategy group and it is 40.
Availability check is 02 assigned. OVZ9 settings are assigned correctly 02-A- SD Order.
Not knowing what is preventing to reserve the stock against product allocation!
Do you or any one know where to see the product allocation stock?
Best Regards& Thanks a lot for your help!

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

RGAfter creating an item in item master..you can go to tools and in there item categories and you can assign the categories there...Mostly my guess is if the item is a purchased item..it will be assigned to default purchasing category and it should also be assigned to inventory category too..as it is also a inventory item..

Evaluation Paths for Audit Requirements

Hi,
For requirements, which belong to the "Subrequirements" requirements category, is "A500" typically the value that one would specify for this?
Thank you,
Eric

Yesterday, I defined the evaluation path as you suggested. I am still seeing problems, so I assume that I must have something misconfigured or unconfigured somewhere else. This implies that I'm probably not done bothering the forum yet....
As far as getting the "SC" requirement selection into 4.72, it is not much of an issue for me, since we are supposed to be upgrading fairly soon, and for testing purposes, I should be able to use an eval path. I might still post an OSS message, as you suggest.
One thing that would be nice would be a complete "changelog" to view somewhere. I can see the release notes for my version in the implementation guide, but it would be nice to see the release notes for all versions. This would allow someone to make a quick determination about what became available and when. If such a changelog already exists, can you tell me where to access it?
Thanks again for your help, Joachim.
Best,
Eric

Coverage Strategy use multiple Category Structures

Hi AFS Expert,
In the same Coverage Strategy, does it allow to use multiple Category Structures to do the transfer from requirement category to stock category?
E.g Category Structure: AA, BB
"Category Structure AA --> Coverage Strategy CS1 --> Requirement category" transfer to "Category Structure BB --> Coverage Strategy CS1 --> Stock category"
Is it possible to do?
Looking forward your kind advise.
Thanks,
Mag

Hello Mag,
The coverage strategy is configured for a single category structure and it maps the category values of that category structure. We can define the sequence in which the stock categories map the requirement categories. We will not be able to map the requirement category to stock category across category structures.
Hope this information helps.
Regards
Sudha

BAPI "BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST2" not extracting Orders with category BC and BD

Hi,
I am using a BAPI "BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST2" to extract the receipts and requirement elements from live cache, however I found that this BAPI does not extract orders with category BC and BD (Stock transfer reservation).
Can you kindly let me know whether this is correct ? BC and BD does not fall in receipt or requirement category ?
If yes then which BAPI should I use to extract orders with BC and BD category ?
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
The categories BC & BD are coming under reciepts & requirements only and i guess should be retrived by standard BAPI.
Please try using BAPI BAPI_POSRVAPS_GETLIST3.
and also mention correct 'locationproducts' as mentioned in the below thread.
Purchase order data for ATP category BH and BI not retrieved
Initially plese try to retrieve the details by 'Order number' to make sure the BAPI is working fine. Later you can do it by locproducts and ATP category.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Deepthi
