Multiple GL for product category in SRM 7.0

Hi! I know with SRM 7.0, we can assign multiple GLs. However, on testing it out on a Shop transaction, I still don't see the list of GLs appearing for selection. Also, I can still assign any other GL and the system will allow the shopping cart to be saved. Does anyone know what is the system behaviour regarding this multiple GL assignment in the config?
Cheers!
SF

Hello all,
This is to correct my posting on Nov 16, 2009 8:20 AM. I have done further research and testing and finally got the multiple GL working. I have to remove the authorisation for object BBP_FUNCT on activity BE_FE_HELP to disable the serach help function. This way, the user will see the allowed list of GLs instead of a search help.
Regards

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?

Product category in srm should over write the punch-out catalog category

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement to overwrite the product category which is coming from the punch-out catalog with the SRM product category.
Exactly saying i am looking for a mapping program.
Because the product category schema in Punch-out Catalog is different from the product category schema in SRM.
Is there any BADI that is available to help and Can anybody has the experience in doing so....??
with regards,
mahesh

Hi Pierre,
Actucally i am using NIGP as the Schema, Can you explain me how we can do with more details how to configure the settings to map the exteranal product category with the internal product category and with out going to BADI.
IMG> SRM> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content management --> Mapping for schema.
You set your schema for product category (UNSPSC, ..) and then define the mapping for a schema .
Thanks for your response,
Mahesh

Hello,
Kindly check the webdnpro component /SAPSRM/WDC_SH_PRODCAT.
This compoent is called for F4 help of product category.
You can modify the search help by enchancing it.
If you want to change the logic then in method ONACTIONDO_START you can add post exit.

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?'

Product Category Hierarchy - SRM

I have doubts on Product Category hierarchy....
1) As far as i understand whenever we replicate the material from Backend R/3 there is a product hiearachy created and assigned automatically. However, we also have the option of creating local hiearachies.
So, what i did was for the same product category i assigned two hierarchies. One the standard R3MATCLASS and other which i created manually in SRM. Then i assigned the two hierarchies while creating the material manually in SRM. However, i am not able to get the significance of this? Why has SAP provided this provision of having multiple hieararchies?
2) I read from the help portal in SAP that Product Hierarchy helps in determining the source of supply. I am not able to understand how that is possible. I have searched for documentation all around but could not find any?
3) In one of the forums i saw that one consultant activated the product hiearachy, then to his surprise the automatic sourcing configuration which he had done has not worked due to activation of hierarchies
Has anyone worked indepth in this field. Any inputs is greatly welcome as i am doing some indepth work on this
Thank You
Abhinandan

Hi
1)
2) Most of the time, We create multiple hierarchy levels in case of Extended Classic Scenario (ECS).
3) Might be due to some bug (some OSS note is missing here).

My client wants a list of preferred suppliers that need to be maintained for a product category. So that whenever the requester selects the product category, he should get the list of preferred vendors for that product category.
Thanks

How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

Search help for Product id in SRM

Hi ,
I have a requirement of changing the search help that is attached to the product id in SRM. we are using SRM7.0. Currently I see an elementary search help /SAPSRM/BBPH_PRODUCT on the webdynpro screen of shopping cart creation. This is an elementary search help . I need to add a collective search help to the product id field which will replicate in all the applications .
Is that possible. if yes, how can we do that .
Quick responses are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Srinivas M.

add search help to input fields data type. or you could assign search help via structure there that field is defined. you could enhance standard code adding custom search help which is called via FM. Choose the way.

Multiple output for Production Order

Can we have multiple output(more than 2 different finished goods part number) for one Production Order?
Or we can have the different way to handle this case.
Please advise~
Thanks.
Allen

A production order can be created only for a single product. But if you have multiple items produced from the same process or production line with the same set of activities then you can treat them as co-products or bi-products.
The product with high value can be the main product for which the production order will be created and the all other outputs can become bi-products or co-products.
This is one of the way. Hope this helps you.

Multiple shipping for products

If i have 5 products in my cart, i can specify 5 locations (either by selecting from address book or by entering new via form).
The quantity of product always remains 1, so no splitting by quantity.
User will be displayed 5 forms (dynamic based on number of items in cart) where he can either select from address book select box, or can manually enter all fields.
I have looked into Shipping group droplet, but that may not be helpful here since i do not have to split by quantity, also i have to capture user eneterd value via form.
Any suggestions?

a delivery adedress has nothing to do with a certain supplier, except you are talking about subcontracting (do you?)
a delivery address specifies an address where you want the supplier to send the goods to.
if it is a third party PO, then the delivery address is derived from ship-to partner of the sales order.
in case of a standard order to stock, the delivery address is coming from the storage location address (if maintained). if no storage location address is maintained, then SAP takes the address from your plant.
You can manually add a delivery address in MEAN transaction and then manually assign in POs delivery address tab.
here you can as well take the address from any address already in your system (e.g. any customer or vendor).

Product Category Description 2 in SRM missing

Hello,
we have the issue, that the Product Category Description 2 is needed in the SRM System. The replication from ERP just giving Product Category Description 1. We are running SRM 7.0 and habe ECC 6.0 (EHP4) as Backend.
What would be the best way to solve this?
1. Enhance the master data replication and
2. Enhance the dataobject Product Category in SRM with the field wgbez60 to store the data
How can an enhancement to the replication be done? Is there a BADI as for vendors available?
How the middleware program need to be changed?
Thanks for your reply
Regards
Edited by: trevor_987 on Dec 2, 2010 12:12 PM

Hi. In that case....
Go to BBPSC01 in the GUI, get the search help name from the category field.
Go to SE11 and change the search help to add a new field and put in a search help exit just like any other search help.
This way you can use the search help exit to read both descriptions from the backend and populate the search results.
This will allow users to see both descriptions when searching.
After they choose a category they will only see 1 description in the cart though.
You could implement a custom field and use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate the second description. It will be shown in a different section on the cart though.
Alternatively you could look at changing the templates, that would be quite tricky for something this complex though.
Regards,
Dave.

Query Regarding Default Product category set up in SRM server

HI SAp Gurus,
Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
1) Enter A comapny Code
2) Enter a unit of measure
3) Plant for follow-on document missing
4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
5) Error in account assignment for item 1
6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
7) Not possible to calculate tax
8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
Kindly advice and do the needful.

Hi Muthu,
I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
Bu the new problem raised - a warning message - No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
Can any one please advice.
