IPC Configurable products and Search by characteristic

Hi all,
I have set up Configurable products for opportunities and quotations.
Now I have one question, if I want to search opportunities by product, it is possible in the standard search of opportunities/quotations. But if I want to search by a characteristic value of that product, how do I proceed? Is there a solution?
Thanks!

You have to read up on "Navigation Attributes." Marking the attributes of a chracterstic "navigable" in the InfoProvider makes that attribute searchable.

IPC. configurable product

How we can customize that
Then we select configuration on quotation in CRM -
characteristics is automatically confirm after enter its.

Hi Denis
Products that you use in configuration must be configurable. You can maintain configurable products that you use in the product configuration with IPC in either SAP ERP Core Component (SAP ECC) or in the Product Modeling Environment (PME) in mySAP CRM.

Configurable Products and Campaign Management

Hi All,
In our project we are going for configurable products. We plan to give campaign based discounts on these products in CRM.
Please let me know how to handle configurable products in Campaign Management.
Many thanks for your response:
Keshav

Hi Keshav,
I am currently working on setting up discounts related to a campaign. Would you have any information on how to do this? I know I need to select condition types from the discount tab. I guess I will have to create the conditon types in IMG. There are some condition types already exisitng that are being used by the pricing procedure for sales orders. Can i use the same condition types??
Any input would be highly welcome.
Thanks,
Deepak

Configurable product in CRM 7.0

Hi all,
has anybody experience with configurable products and product model in CRM 7.0? or is there a detailed manual somewhere?
the way to manage them seems quite different from the previous release in which the PME component was external.
Thanks

Hi,
ECC -> CRM Download of Configurable Products
First of all create the KB and Runtime version for ur configurable products(Variant configuration products ) in ECC. Then activate the IPC, download the KR and Runtime Version (SCE).
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...
and also u need to maintain the IPC server setting in the table COMM_IPC_URL
Using the below report RSVMCRT_HEALTH_CHECK you can check whether the IPC and java stack is active. One more thing to keep in mind is if you ever do changes to XCM component then you need to restart the Java Server everytime.
CRM (Standalone)
From CRM 2007 onward the PME has been replaced with WEBUI. in the WEBUI you create the Configurable products and then create the product model.
Create your own Application Customer confiruation in XCM component and the link look http://<host>:<port>/<web app name>/admin/xcm/init.do.
Then go to the table COMM_IPC_PROP and maintaint the table entry with the Application Customer Configuration in XCM for Product and also for sales order if you are using the Sales order for the configurable products...
and also u need to maintain the IPC server setting in the table COMM_IPC_URL

Pls let me know if you need any thing else

CRM 5.0 and IPC Configuration

Hi All,
we are using CRM 5.0 and want to configure IPC for Internet sales. Can someone give me the IPC configuration guide for CRM 5.0 (as IPC is integrated in it). We are using CRM as standalone without R/3.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas

Vikas and Nirmal,
As IPC is already there with CRM 5.0, you just need to start it...
See OSS note 854170 for details about starting and some configuration information on IPC...

How do I create a product or item database so I can search fr the product and its files with hte pro

How do I create a product or item database so I can search for the product and its files with the products name or four digit code

Ok so I made some progress on this. I have figured out, that I can add a chained "add to cart" to certain items, then when they click the button for Buy now, it will add both items to the cart. However, this would require me to manually build each product page and generate a custom button for each one with both product IDs in it.
Can anyone offer help on how to put some JS in that would append a second function to the onclick function that BC Generates dynamically?
For the products that require a set up fee, I would assume I would add in to either the product templates or in to the item description some JS that would find the onclick of the buynow button and append a second function to also add to cart the setup fee product. The end result being code that looks like this:
<input type="submit" class="productSubmitInput" onclick="AddToCart(188536,6314368,'',4,'','',true);AddToCart(188536,6314367,'',4,'','',tr ue);return false;" value="Buy Now" name="AddToCart_Submit" />
Except of course, the product ID on the first AddToCart would be the main product with the second one being the one appended.
Does any of that make sense? lol

2 search configuration screens and saved searches

EhP2 SP08, For opportunities we configured a 2nd search screen to split opportunities where configuration is fairly different (status, priority, fields defined in the AET for different opportunity types) and yes there are some enhancements to include only certain opportunity types depending which search screen.
But appears the saved search can not identify which configuration screen the search was created against. As we look at tables CRMD_SHORTCUT, CRMT_DYN_QUERY I don't believe it can decipher. Looking for any ideas if there is a feasible way to enhance?   The saved search looks to call the configuration screen the user was last in.
Config
BT111S_OPPT   ZDEFAULT DEFAULT    DEFAULT       DEFAULT
BT111S_OPPT   ZDEFAULT DEFAULT    BT111_OPPT ZOPT

We added the authorization in, but still no cigar.
When we try do the personalization, we click on the spanner button and it opens the pop-up where you can choose which tabs to include in your view, but when you try to save it, it doesn't affect the changes, and the web-browser give us javascript:void(0) in the bottom left corner.
If we google "javascript:void(0)" it comes up with the following information.
http://www.quackit.com/javascript/tutorial/javascript_void_0.cfm
http://www.technoxx.com/javascript-void-0.html
http://www.tech-faq.com/javascript-void-0.html
Even if this is a probelm with the web-browser it stil doesn't expplain why it works for some users and for other not.
Is there any way we can configure or customize the "defualt view" so that even though the changes cannot be made by the user, all the required tabs are in the various bp/case screens?

What databases to backup to restore Search Enterprise configuration and search pages?

Hello,
If I needed to restore the Enterprise Search configuration and search pages, what SharePoint pages do I need to backup?
SharePoint config and/or SharePoint admin databases?
Thanks.
Paul

Hi Paul,
SharePoint Enterprise Search site is stored in SharePoint Content database associated with the web application which hosts enterprise search site, if you want to resoter the search configuration and search pages(may have customized the search web part
page), you can try to firstly test the restore of particular content database and search administrator database.

Hi experts how to see Main items and subitems of a configural product

Hi CRM experts
Can please tell me how to check the Main item and subitems of the business transcaion of configurable product in CRM.
what is the key field to check subitems for particular main item.
eg:
1. main iteam
1.1 subitem.
1.1.1 subitem1.

Your question is not very clear.Can you please write in detail giving an example.
From what I gather, you probably have 2 blocks.
One will be a query block where you have a list item(countries) , when you select a country, you want data to be retrieved in Block 2(Detail block).
Based on this assumption, you will have to code on when-list-changed trigger.
go_block('detail_block');
set_block_prooperty(...to set the where clause for country)
execute_query;
This is based on my assumptions of 2 blocks.

How to avoid configuration product downloading from R/3 into CRM

Hello,
We have CRM 4.0 connected with R/3 backEnd and configurable products are downloading from R/3 into CRM with the whole characteristics.
We don´t use this characteristics in CRM to configure this product and the pricing. Is there any way to avoid this information into CRM??
1.- Though the Middleware???
2.- Though the Uninstalling IPC(internet pricing configurator)???
3.- though the item category of the Business Transaction.???
It´d be grateful to get a way because actually, when we enter the product, this one has to be configurated because of the errors.
Thanks a lot,
Luis Angel Fernández

Hello Luis,
First of all I am unable to understand how are you getting the characteristic through material download.
All configuration comes through Knowledge Base and its runtime version.
If you want to block configurable materials from flowing to CRM then set the filter on Item Category Group.
I think you must have different item Category group for configurable material.
Thanks & Regards

Configurable product in internet sales

hello friends......
can anybody tell me is there any setting required for configurable product in internet sales

Hi This is the case when we have CRM-R3:
And here is the procedure:
1.1.1.1     Creating Knowledge-Base Objects in R/3
Use
A knowledge-base object is a Container for distributing configuration-relevant master data from the R/3 System to the IPC sales configurator knowledge base.
A knowledge-base object determines which objects are downloaded for produce configuration with IPC. Different runtime versions support versioning of the R/3 database for the knowledge base.
A knowledge base object in the R/3 System contains:
     Basic data, such as name, description, and status
     Language-dependent descriptions
     One or more knowledge-base profiles
Procedure
1.     To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:
SAP R/3 Role Menu     Creating Knowledge Base Objects
Transaction code     CU31
SAP Menu     Logistics  Central Functions  Variant Configuration  Knowledge Base  Knowledge Base Object  Create
2.     Enter a name in the Knowledge-base object field, for example KB_BEST_PRACTICES.
3.     Choose Enter.
4.     On the Create Knowledge Base Object screen, enter a description and a status.
You can only replicate a runtime version that has status Released.
3.     Choose Profiles.
4.     Choose Create and enter for example KB_PROFILE_BP as KB profile and KB Profile Best Practices as description.
5.     Choose Enter.
6.     Enter the material or class from which you want to start configuration as the OO class, and enter the variant class type.
7.     If you do not enter a user interface, the SCE appears with its standard interface and groups characteristics according to the interface design settings defined in R/3.
The User interface field is a reference point for interfacing to customer-specific programs. You can refer to this field in your program to link a customer-specific user interface to a knowledge base.
8.     Choose Save.
Result
The knowledge base object is now defined. Before you can download the knowledge base, you must create a runtime version.
1.1.1.2     Creating Runtime Versions in R/3
Use
The runtime version is a replicable copy of all the configuration-relevant master data of a knowledge-base object that is valid on a specified date. The runtime version thus fulfills a versioning function.
It ensures that each object is downloaded only once, even if:
     It occurs in different places in the configuration model
     You have defined more than one knowledge-base profile
Procedure
1.     To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:
SAP R/3 Role Menu     Creating Runtime Versions
Transaction code     CU34
SAP Menu     Logistics  Central Functions  Variant Configuration  Knowledge Base  Runtime Versions  Create
2.     In the knowledge-base object field enter the name of your knowledge-base object
3.     In the Version field enter the name for your runtime version and confirm.
4.     On the Create Runtime Version: Basic Data screen, enter the following data:
Fieldname      value     description
Valid from     <date>     default is today's date
Status     1     Released
Plant     <numeric key for your plant>
BOM application     <key for the application for selecting your BOM>
Language key     <blank>     We advise you to leave the Language key blank.
Incl. Actions (converted to procedures)          If you use actions for either configuration profiles or BOM items in the SCE, select Incl. actions (converted to procedures).
You can only download a runtime version that has status Released.
If you leave the Language key field blank, descriptions are downloaded in all languages. Missing descriptions can cause errors!
Only actions for configuration profiles and BOM items are converted to procedures Actions for characteristics and characteristic values are ignored!
5.     Choose Save.
6.     Generate the runtime version.
Result
The program collects and compiles all the relevant objects, checks the class network for consistency, and saves the runtime version. The runtime version is now ready to download
For detailed information about the generation of a runtime version, display the R/3 application log. To do this, start transaction SLG1, then enter log object PPVA and sub-object KBMT.

Vivek

Configurable product - ERP E-commerce 5.0

Hi Gurus,
E-commerce 5.0, ECC 6.0 .......... No TREX........VMC activated
I have the following error once I add the configurable product to the shopping basket and then go to shopping basket.
JCO Exception: COMMAND_EXCEPTION
Function: CFG_API_GET_CONFIG_INFO
Import Parameters:
| PARAMETERS 'INPUT'
CONFIG_ID
G
0
IC6133306
T
|----
|-|
I did the folowing steps
Knowledge bases and runtime versions are created
1) Event Handler is maintained in Table TBE31
2) IPC is maintained as consumer in table CRMCONSUM
3) Table CRMRFCPAR is not maintained as we are on ECC 6.0 (Do I need to maintain this)
4) The JCO user is maintained with the authorization objects S_RFC and S_MI_ADMCO
5) Initialized the DB using report CFG_AP_INITIALISE_DB
6) Request for the Knowledge base and version -- using report CFG_AP_REQUEST_DB
log shows every thing green ... but dont think the Knowledge base is uploaded.
7) ipc/admin/xcm/init.do ...XCM is configured for application type "erp" and the component "jco"
Is there any thing I am missing ... any suggestion why I am getting this error.
Thank you
Ram

Hi Chris,
I have moved to test environment and started working on a clean slate.
I understand what you are trying to tell regarding maintaining the XCM scenario in variant config (SPRO).
I have complete the following steps.
1) Activated VMC
2) IPC is set active in Shop Management.
3) Table TBE31 is maintained for the Event
4) table CRMCONSUM is maintained for IPC
5) Table CRMRFCPAR is maintained with two entries. Though RFC destination is not maintained.
RFC destinations in AP system are not maintained as we are running SAP E-Commerce 5.0 using ECC 6.0 as backend.
6) ran the report CFG_AP_INITIALISE_DB -- every thing is green and can see the knowledge bases in the log.
7) I have maintained the parameter "ipcjcodata" with the JCO component - and maintained the JCO connection user with authorization objects S_MI_ADMCO and S_RFC (with necessary functional groups).
Now If I login to b2b/init.do -- I can see the configuration icon next to the configurable product.
Once I click on the icon -
I can see the reset, accept, cancel options and status and product variant tabs.
But the charecteristics tabs and charecteristics are not being displayed. -- which shows blank.
the jsp's which are showing blank are
1) /ipc/components/characteristicGroup.jsp
2) /ipc/tiles/characteristicGroup.jsp/ipc/tiles/characteristics.jsp
Is there any thing I am missing - Please suggest.
Thank you
Ram
