Mapping Contract items to CCM Master Catalog

We have created a contract catalog in CCM which creates a two level schema, the top level being identified by the contract number, the sub level being contract_catalog_classification_schema. The one material item in the catalog is attached to the top level of the schema(the contract number). We cannot map this to our schema in the ccm master catalog, the assign category button is alway greyed out. Not sure what we are doing wrong and pretty new at this, can someone help out???
Thanks

Hi Serguei,
Do I need to map the contract Catalog and Master Catalog explicitly?? SAP documentation on this says:
"When you transfer a contract to SAP Catalog Content Management, the system compares the items in the contract with supplier catalogs and SRM product catalogs that already exist in SAP Catalog Authoring Tool. If an item in the contract is the same as an item in an existing supplier catalog or SRM product catalog, SAP Catalog Contract Management automatically:
1) Copies the additional values available in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog to the contract catalog
2) Maps the contract information for the item to the master catalog, if the corresponding item in the supplier catalog or SRM product catalog has been assigned for mapping.
So, the mapping has to happen automatically.. isn't it?
Regards,
Waheed.

How to delete and create the CCM MASTER CATALOG in Catalog Content?

Hi All,
Please provide the solution as we are in real trouble.
We have to delete master catalog and upload it again. Deletion is done because the mapping and all are being corrupted. SAP has suggested to delete the catalog and again upload it and do all the mapping again related to supplier and procurement catalog
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/7f/9b62405c910272e10000000a155106/frameset.htm.
In the link above I found information really useful, however according to the document the CCM MASTER CATALOG should be created automatically by the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool, this happens the first time that you are using the system.
Catalog Creation
You use this function to create catalogs in SAP Catalog Authoring Tool.
You can create the following types of catalogs:
Supplier catalogs
Procurement catalogs
Model service catalogs
Note
SAP Catalog Authoring Tool creates the master catalog, the SRM product catalog, SRM contract catalogs, and the contract catalog for service specifications automatically.
When SAP Catalog Authoring Tool is used for the first time, you must open the Edit Catalogs application once, before you create any catalogs. Choosing Edit Catalogs triggers the creation of the master catalog. If you do not do this, SAP Catalog Authoring Tool outputs an error message when you try to create a catalog.
We have already the Master Schema and we know how to map the CCM MASTER CATALOG to the supplier and procurement catalogs. The main problem is that we need to delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG and created again.
1. How delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG?
In a Test environment I have delete the CCM/MASTERCATALOG using the "Edit Catalogs" mode then choosing the catalog and confirm the deletion.
Once this has been done, all the catalogs has been erased including the CCM/MASTERCATALOG, so now we have the system in blank. I am not sure if this is the correct way to delete the catalog or there is an easiest way where the Procurement and supplier catalogs don't disappear once the CCM/MASTERCATALOG is deleted.
2. Once the CCM/MASTERCATAOG is deleted how to created again?
According to the instructions the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool should created this automatically when is used for the first time, however how we can created the CCM/MASTERCATALOG again if the SAP Catalog Authoring Tool is not used for the fist time.
Is there a way where the system can create the CCM/MASTERCATALOG for a second time?
I follow the steps to create the CCM/MASTERCATALOG for the first time however I didn't get a positive result.
Any help provided will be really appreciated.

Hi,
Generation of the /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG is automatic and does not require any additional effort from a catalog admin other than accessing the CDC (Edit Catalogs).
If the catalog is not regenerated at this point it is likely that you then receive an error like 'Error reading catalogs, error reading Master Catalog' or something similar which would indicate that the previous deletion of the master from either table /CCM/D_CTLG or /CCM/D_CTLG_REQ was not successfully completed or that the update operation in table /CCM/D_UPD_STATE remained in update status and never for some reason completed (status 03).
Deletion of the Master catalog should not cause the deletion of any other catalog, unless you have chosen 'delete all catalogs'! Choosing the Master and delete should result in only a deletion request for the master catalog, be aware however that all mapping records between Supplier -> Master -> Procurement catalogs will be destroyed and cannot be 'rejoined' but only rebuilt from scratch. It is also advisable after the Master deletion to chcek with report /CCM/CLEANUP_MAPPING which orphaned items and mapping records require cleanup as it is better to remove these before proceeding with the new mappings.

Jason

CCM Master catalog

Hi All,
We are on SRM 4.0 and CCM2.0(SAPK-20000INCCM).
When we try to execute the initialization report(/CCM/INITIALIZE_CME) inSRM Production system, the Master catalog is not getting generated.On analyzing the logs we found that the table DML_LH_FRG_REG has all the entries corresponding to test system.Please advise.

Hi,
If this report is being used afer the deleteion of the master catalog then I have to inform you that it is not supported.
This report should only be ran during system set up phase (Installation phase).

How to upload Master Catalog Schema in Catalog Content Management SRM

Hi All,
Please provide the solution as we are in real trouble.
We have to delete master catalog and upload it again. Deletion is done because the mapping and all are being corrupted. SAP has suggested to delete the catalog and again upload it and do all the mapping again related to supplier and procurement catalog.
Can all of you guide us what to do:
1. How to delete a existing Master catalog (can de-publish will do it?)?
2. We have the master catalog schema with us. Please tell how to upload this schema. Which link we have to follow?
3. After uploading the master schema how we can check that master catalog is working fine.
The answers will be rewarded with valuable points

Unable to Map Contract Catalog to Master Catalog

Hello,
We currently use CCM 2.0 with SRM version 5.
Our issue is that when items are added to a contract catalogue and released, the contract releases successfully but errors appear in the upload logs advising u2018It is not possible to retrieve the data types for catalog **********. Catalog update was terminatedu2019.
The contract catalog then has a red light against so we are unable to map the contract to the Master Catalog.
The issue appears to be intermittent as we have had some go through successfully.
I have checked the following:
SXMB_MONI u2013 shows as successfully processed
SLG1 u2013 shows no errors
/CCM/D_CTLG_REQ u2013 there is no entry in the req_sender field
/CCM/D_UPD_STATE u2013 the status is 02 u2013 completed with errors.
Iu2019ve seen a similar issue posted with the advice to run /CCM/CLEANUP_DIS_PERSISTENCY, however I havenu2019t ran this before and would like some advice on the impacts of doing so before I run it in our Production environment.
Can anyone provide some information on why this issue could be occurring and what I can do to resolve the issue?
Many Thanks
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Such an error normally means the catalog is corrupted, you can run the cleanup_dis_persistency report in the hope that it can repair the links but it is doubtful, it is more likely that you will have to delete this contract catalog and then re transfer the contract to CCM again before mapping to the master.

Jason

Master Catalog Items in CCM ?   (without XI)

HI everyone,
I need to load my master catalog items into CCM 1.0, I'll use CSV because I'll not have XI for a few months.
For some reason, when I add to my shopping cart any item comming from my CCM 1.0, the "Order as Direct Material" button dissapear.   It is managed like the "described" items (when the user types everything).
Im not sure if I need to map some fields in CCM in order to make a link with my Master Material CAtalog (R3).
Any idea ?
Regards,
Diego

Bonjour amis =)
1. Vadim, I followed your instructions and now is working fine (Direct Order Material button is there)
2. Christophe, Im not sure if your propossal works.. because I think I have all that requirements and the button wasn't there:
   - you have a product ID:YES
   - the catalog ID is customized to no product check:YES
   - the product source logical system does not equel EBP logical system (i.e. it is not a standalone scenario). Normaly it should be the backend where the product really exists: YES, in my case I put R3DCLNT120 (R3 client 120)
But the buton wasn't there.. =(      Anyway, If I need for some reason those items in my R3 (because inventory), this scenario would not work for me. Am I right ?
Thanks for your help guys,
Regards from Mexico,
Diego

CCM 2.0: Status of items is not changed in Master Catalog

Hello all,
when I upload the same items in Supplier Catalog in Master Catalog and Procurement Catalog for items status is not changed from "Approved" to "Not Approved".
Funny thing is that items need to be approved to go to Procurement Catalog from Master and to publish Procurement Catalog.
What to do?
Gordan

Hello Gordan,
do you mean that in CAT customizing you have your /ccm/master_catalog with "approved" value and the name of your procurement with "To approve" value?
Best regards
Jorge

No entry was generated in Master catalog after contract upload by PI...

We use CCM 2.0 as percurment catalog in SRM 7.0 server.
1.I finish the basic configuration and tranfer the product catalog to the CCM.
2.Then I do the mapping of product cat to master cat.
3.I finished the PI scenarios for upload contract.
4.When I publish a contract in the potral, I check the PI monitor is fine.
5.I check the CCM log more,but there is a warning message 'No original catalog item found for contract catalog item 1'.
6.The contract upload successfully and it occurs in the ccm cataloags.
7.The log showed that
19.09.2010 16:09:01 (CET): Starting mapping
19.09.2010 16:09:01 (CET): Starting mapping analysis for catalog 4400000049 -> /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG

19.09.2010 16:09:04 (CET): Mapping completed for catalog 4400000049
But unfortunately,there is no entry in the master catalog for this contract.
Could you give me some suggestion?
Much appreciated~~~

Looks like the catalog was unable to be enriched from existing data - does this contract item exist in the SRM product catalog or a supplier catalog for enrichment to take place?

How to change an existing line item in CCM catalog using CSV file?

Dear All,
We are using SRM5.0 and CCM 2.0
We have uploaded the material and service master to CCM as supplier catalog from R/3.
The initial Upload was doen successfully.
My query is how to reflect the delta changes in CCM happening in R/3?
If I can generate a CSV file with all those items wich has been changed (Changes can be in description, Plant, status etc) and upload the same file in CCM, will it update the existing line in CCM or create a new line item?
How do i update an existing line item in CCM catalog using a CSV file?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Atul,
I am using CCM 2.0 and SRM 5.0 (EBP5.5).
We are not using XI, so i guess we cant use the program "/ccm/file_upload".
we have migrated the product master data from R/3.
We have developed a report which takes product category as input and gives out flat file in csv format containg all the items in that prod category.
Then we upload the file in CCM by logging thro the brpwser.
Similarly, i can develop another program which will give me a CSV file foll all those items changed in R/3 in a day.
Then we can upload that file in CCM.
But i have doubt if it will update the existing items in catalog.
Hope I could make myself clear.
Thanks
Abhishek

Contract Management for CCM 1.0 items ? (Not in backend)

Hi guys,
I would like to enable Contract Management (Local & Global) in my SRM 4.0 sp8 environment. However, 90% of the catalog items in CCM (4,000 articles aprox) do not exist in the backend.
My very simple question is: Should I create all this 4000 items in the backend in order to enable contract management in SRM ?
Thanks for your valuable help guys !

CCM - more schemas is master catalog

Hello CCM Gurus,
We're using CCM 2.0 version. We would like to make 2 schemas in our master catalog. When I tried, I succeed making it in a supplier catalog with uploading the structure in XML, but I couldn't manage it in case of master and purchasing catalog.
If you have any solution that help me, please send it to me!

Hello,
As I am aware this is not possible. There was talk that this will be available in CCM3.0 which is canceled in favour of MDM/CCM.

Material/service master catalog upload (ECC-CCM)

SRM have 2 possible scenarios to upload the material master data to CCM:
1- Upload material master data from ECC to SRM and, after, from SRM to CCM.
2- Upload material master data directly from ECC to SRM.
Does anybody know the name of the transaction or report in ECC to upload the material/service master catalog directly to CCM?
Best regards,
Cristiano Soares

Hi All-
I have about 3 tricky questions concerning CCM-ECC Integration
1.) Does anybody have any idea on how to upload Material and Service master from ECC 6.0 directly into the CCM 2.0 system. Is there any standard program like we have in SRM called as BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG. I
2.) Also are there any complications or is it possble to integrate CCM 2.0 directly from ME51n? I am aware that PM and PS out-of-the-box can be directly integrated to CCM. Is there a similar way to achieve this functionality. If yes can anybody give me some pointers on this.
3.) Are there any complications involved with uploading service masters and interfacing CCM to EBP or ECC and directly using the service master from CCM to create a Shopping cart (CCM-EBP) or a purchase requisition (CCM-ECC).
I hope some one can throw some light on these questions.
Suitable points will be rewarded for helpfull answers !!

I have a large (25,000 items) master catalog in PSE8 which I want to copy into four smaller albums.

How do I do this working from the master catalog in Organizer?
Thanks, Jim

It looks like it would be good. Just be careful if you find some older pictures - and put them into, say the 1950-1974 album. You have to remember to add them to the other catalogs.
Remember to back up your work.
Because their companies back up their office computers, many people forget to back up their home computers. Make sure that you also apply the same backup care to your home files on your home computer.
Martin Scorsese is a semi-famous TV writer and film director. He recently had a home robbery. They took his computer - and the external backup hard drive that was sitting next to the computer. He had no other backup.
More than 20 years of his writing is gone. There is no way that he can replace that work. The stolen external hard drive probably had a street value of $20.
If he had used a second external hard drive - which might have cost him a whole $50 - and stored it offsite, he still would have all of his work. As it is, the vast majority of his work is gone forever. That’s a big deal when you’re a professional writer!
I'm paranoid. Every hour, a Macintosh utility called Chronosync automatically backs up all 70 gigabytes of my work - writing, music, and pictures - onto an external hard drive. Twice a day, that same utility backs everything up onto a separate area of my laptop’s internal hard drive.
Make sure your external hard drive contains more than just your work. Put your operating system and applications on it. There are special utilities (I use a Mac one called Super Duper) that will make that external hard disk an exact duplicate of your computer's hard drive. You can't do that by just dragging all your files onto the new hard drive. Some essential system files are invisible to you. The external hard drive won't boot without these system files.
My external hard drives all are bootable, and contain all my current applications. Each month, as part of my routine maintenance, I insure that each external hard drive gets updated to include everything that might have been updated or installed in my laptop during the month.
If my internal hard drive fails, I just turn on my external hard drive and boot up. Lost time - about five minutes. Since I back up every hour onto my external hard drive, I'll lose an hour’s work - at most. I can live with that.
Every Monday, I go to Bank of America's vault and open my safety deposit box. I leave there the external hard drive I’ve been using all week. I then take home the external hard drive that has been sitting in that safety deposit box all week. If my house burns down - or if there is a robbery - the worst that can happen is that I'll lose one week's work. Again, I can live with that.
I really don’t need the security of a safety deposit box. When I was working, I would take my home backups to the office and store them there. I also would take my office backups to my home and store them there. Since I’ve retired, I really don’t have an offsite location to use, so I use a bank safety deposit box. It’s overkill, but it works.
Be paranoid! All computer hard drives will fail. The only question is when.
What will you do when that happens to your hard drive? Notice that I said "when that happens" - and not "if that happens".
