Middleware Settings for Product Categories

Hi,
We are using the CRM middleware to replicate the Product Categories.
In our case the R/3 backend Mat Groups are defined using the two fields.
1. Matl grp descr.
2. mat.grp desc. 2
The first one is a general one and the second field is more imporatant for the users in the search.
But from middleware initial downloads we are only getting the first Description field.
could some one walk me thru the steps to bring in the Second Mat grp desc. also.
Regards
Manoj A.

Hi Manoj,
This customizing option only lets you which description (short or long) to use in SRM.
The concatenation of both is not possible via the standard.
What you could try is to change the mapping module assigned to object DNL_CUST_PROD1 (COM_PRODUCT_PRDCT_PROD1_SAVE) by a specific one, where you can merge both descriptions.
It is a rather simple function module that you could modify (see FORM t023t).

System Fail Error for Product categories download

Hi All,
I am workin on SRM 4.0.We have started the initial Load for product categories but unable to load the material groups from the backend as prod catgories in SRM.
When I activate the Queue in SMQ2,it shows the status "System Fail" with the message " Hierarchy(with some ID) does not exist ".What could be the reason for the unsuccesful download?Please help.
Regards,
Disha D.

Hello Disha,
As Bertrand (and Vadim) said, you have to maintain this customizing point...
But if you read the linked documentation, it says that the system should assign the hierarchy automatically:
"When system settings for materials and services are replicated from the ERP system ,the relevant hierarchy is assigned to the corresponding application automatically. In this case, the assignment need not and should not be changed.
If you are not going to replicate data from the ERP system you must have created the hierarchy you want to assign to the application."
Maybe you first need to create a root hierarchy, assign it to purchasing area, and then the replication will add a "R3MATCLASS" sub node in your hierarchy.
Make few tests as described and tell us.

ADG for Product Categories

Hi,
Would someone be able to tell me what is the process to create ADG for product categories so that we dont have to manually select the accounts in PO and Supplier Invoices.
Is the same possible for Sales products as well?
Thanks
Puru

Hi Puru,
Adding to the above if you
Once you maintain the account determination group for product categories in the fine-tune activity "Edit default account determination group for product categories'
You need to Go to fine tune activity 'Chart of Accounts,Financial reporting structure, account determination'.
IF the account group maintained is for 'SERVICE'
then select Sub-ledger 'COST' then maintain the account determination group and corresponding General Ledger account to it.
If the account group is 'MATERIAL' then you need to go to Subledger 'INVENTORIES' and add account group and GL account for it.
Thanks

CRM MIDDLEWARE QUERY FOR PRODUCT REPLICATION -URGENT

Hello All,
I am replicating the product categories(in SRM terminology) i.e. initia load of Material groups from backend(R/3) into the SRM system through the CRM Middleware.
At the r/3 side in the tcode SMQ1(Outbound Queue),i am getting the status as STOP while at SRM side(i.e. CRM middleware) in the tcode SMQ2(Inbound queue),i get the status READY.Also when I go in for the transaction of Monitoring Initial Load (R3AM1),I get the status as RUNNING.
Can anyone please tell me how much time it takes to download these objects because I had started the Initial Load for 4 Objects out of which the 1st object took 4 hrs to be downloaded!Please help.
Thanks & regards,

Order type settings for convert planned order to production order

Dear sir,
I have 1 company code ,under 2 virtual plants are there.My scenario is plant 1(main plant)and plant 2 (virtual plant)
both plant same FERT material.in plant 2 i am creating sale order and atual production will be done in plant 1.
FERT material plant 2(strategy-40 sp.procurement-40 setting in spro ref plant (plant1) )and plant 1 material (strategy 82)
run the MRP MD50.panned orders are created but iam not getting production orders directly not getting the production orders
.i have done settings in spro OPPE order type is given.in MD04 manual conversion planned order to production order system asking order type ,but i given order type in OPPE
What are the settings for production order directly from sale order at the time of RUNNING MD50
Regards,
Naresh.

Hi,
You will not get a production order out of MD50. That would have to be set up in the SD customizing for the sales order item, but I am not sure that would work with your two-plant setup.
After MD50 you need to run CO41 for the collective conversion (and I also recommend the mentioned production scheduling profile customizing and then maintain this profile in the material master work scheduling view)

How to automatically update products and product categories?

Hi friends
How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
regards
venkat

Hi,
The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
-Initial loads:
Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
-Delta loads:
This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
Also refer the foll thread:
Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

Report to pull multiple Product Categories/Organizational Units per project

Hi Experts,
We are facing the following issue.
We have created a Project and have associated multiple Product Category & Organization to this project, many to One relationship. This we have achieved through customization. When we are pulling report for this project through Reports-> Project Summary Extract. Itu2019s giving us only one Product Category & one Org Unit per Project. The business wants us to pull all the Org Units & the Product categories associated with the Project, when we are displaying the report. This org units & product categories will be shown in Org Unit & Product category columns respectively separated by commas.
Looking forward for your help.
Thanks,
Ritik

Hi Vikram,
We have not created any custom fields neither for the Product Categories nor for the Org Unit/Business Unit(T1.BUSINESS_UNIT_OBJECT_NAME). These two fields are already there in the Result fields for the report Project Summary Extract . I am just looking for some way to pull all the Product categories & Business Units associated with the project in the Product Categories column & in Business Unit column respectively separated by comma or show it as in example 2 given below(in multi rows).
e.g. 1:
Project:     Product Categories:
PROJ1   -> PC1,PC2,PC3
Or
e.g. 2:
Project:      Product Categories:
PROJ1        ->                           PC1
PROJ1     ->                    PC2
PROJ1     ->                             PC3
I have already copied the existing query & modified it to achieve the above, but still this is not working. Currently i am querying FCI_MAS_INTERNAL_CAT for Product Categories & FCI_PRO_PROJECTS for projects.
Can you please provide me any sample query to achieve this functionality. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Goa for product category

Hi experts
I am creating a GOA with 2 items, one for product category and one for normal item, but an error occur 'No condition price exist for item 1', someone knows if it's normal?
As a know there is no conditions for product categories.
Thanks in advance
Nilson

Nilson,
I am assuming you are getting that error on Product Category line.
No, you need not provide any conditions for Product Category items.
Do you see any conditions populated for that item? Try deleting the item and adding back.
In IMG, do you have 'Activate Grouping logic for Locations in GOA?'

SMQ2, Product Categories and Materials

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5.0 in ECS and I have an issue regarding the update of Product Categories from ECC.
Actually, the initial load worked properly but the update does not work. In SRM, when I look at SMQ2 queue list, I have many entries, most of them concern Material Master replication. So my first interrogation is: I do not use Material Master in SRM, so why do I find some entries linked to Material Masters in this queue list? Is there any mean to avoid this to occur?
My second interrogation is about the processing of SMQ2 queue list: What do I have to do in order to see the different entries processed automatically (for Product Categories update)?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
There is no delta replication/update available in SRM for PORDUCT CATEGORIES but only for PRODUCTS(material).To update the Product categories or bring in new categories,you need to run the initial load again thru trasnc R3AS.

Replicate Delta download of Product Categories Error

Hi
Running Sudo-Extended classic. I have replicated product categories from the backend into SRM successfuly. Now I need to alter 20 P.Categories.
In R/3 I coped the category, changed it and saved it. eg from 1200000 to 120000. Now I am replicating this new P.Category back into SRM.
R3AR2 to create delta download for 2 tables T023 and T023
R3AR4 to replicate the file above, Source R/3 and Target system is CRM/SRM..
My issue is I dont see anything in R3AM1.
Also whe I run SMQ1 I see my delta request but is has a status:SYSFAIL the issue seems to R/3.
Question:DO i have to delete my old P.Categories in SRM frist? It wont allow me coz they were created in R/3.
My SMQ1 and SMQ2 are clear before i began all this.
I try SM59 and my RFC seems to be working??
ANY iDEAS out there????
NO P.Categories seem to be comming in from R/3
cheers

Sourcing of product categories

Hi,
We are running on SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0
In our scenario--if shopping cart is a catalog item,purchase order is created automatically.
If the shopping cart is created using 'describe requirement' link--the shopping cart is sent to sourcing.
But in the configuration step "define sourcing for product categories'...all the categories are included and have the entry 'sourcing always carried out'.
And we also have the sourcing BADI 'define execution of sourcing' implemented.The logic in it is if the item is from catalog,no sourcing should be carried out.But if it isn't a catalog item, carry out sourcing.
My question is--do we need the configuration step of 'define sourcing for product categories'?Will the BADI not suffice?
Thanks
Trey

Hi
I believe it is standard but you can take into cockpit badi bbp_src_determine (you can write your own logic).
Always your catalog have fixed source of supply so it will not go to sourcing cockpit even though define sourcing always.
am i correct.

How do we bring local product categories inside sourcing...

Hi all,
We are trying to bring the local products, where we can select in the Category ID SPRO...Define Sourcing for product categories. Please let me know how to do...
We are using SRM 4.0 server 5.0 and SP 8
regards,
Bert

Bert,
You can assign only one product hierarchy at a time to purchasing application.
Are you maintaining local & replicated categories into the same product category hierarchy ?
If yes, you should find them in "Defining Sourcing for product categories" (if you select the correct source system = EBP, as I replied before).
If no, you have to choose which one to work with. his one and only this one will be available in SRM procurement flows (attributes, customizing...).
Check customizing point "Assign Hierarchies to Applications".
