Named Searches in SRM-MDM

Dear Experts,
I try to create Named Searches On the SRM-MDM Catalog.
I created named searches and assigned each named search do CATALOG_ID.
I assigned the relevant CATALOG_ID to the organizational unit in the organizational stracture.
In the Search UI the user sees the link to the named search I assigned, but he still see all the Items and not only the items I assigned to the named search.
I guess I did not assign the items I picked properly.
Can someone help?
Thanks & Regards,
Keren

Hi,
In SRM MDM data manager select the current table as Named search in record mode.Right click -Add -Say NamedSearchS1.Then Select your main table as current table.Select the records which you want to display to particular user.Then go to menu Search-Add to named search S1.
Go to Console under roles table-select the particular role-under tables and field tab-Named search-add constraint as S1.
MDM support 400 named searches.
In EBP then add the s1 in call structure.

Passing Search Parameter to SRM-MDM Through the URL

Greeting all,
I would like to know how I can pass a search parameter to SRM-MDM using the URL in the web browser. This is needed to display the result directly instead of listing the whole catalog contents.
I am trying to pass a search parameter (Text string) to the catalog through an R/3 SAP system. As a result, it should give only the material that I am looking for.
I tried the "Background Search" as described in the OCI-specification paper but still couldn't get it!
By using the parameters mentioned in chapter 3.2.4 of OCI-specification paper, I did the recommended configuration and use the following URL but still failed to pass the parameter: http://....&FUNCTION=BACKGROUND_SEARCH&SEARCHSTRING=searchterm
Can anyone help me on that?!
Regards,
Yousif

Hi Yousif,
Why dont u save the search as a named search in MDM and then pass it onto the SRM MDM.
Save the records as Named search in MDM Data Manager
For eg:
Named Search name -->> search1
Now while passing the parameters to the SRM MDM Catalog specify the Named Search in its url.
http://J2EESERVER:PORTNO/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=search1&username=Admin&password=PASSWORD&catalog=REPOSITORYNAME&server=MDMSERVERIPADDRESS&datalanguage=EN
After passing the named search in the hook url the you will be able to see only the search which was saved in Data Manager.
Hope dis helps u

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

SRM-MDM Catalogue Search UI - Qualified table search

Hi,
We are having the following situation:
- We have a catalogue of articles
- We have to tie an article to a location, in addition to a location-specific parameter.
- Exampe:
Article A is tied to location A, parameter A
Article B is tied to location B, parameter B
Article C is tied to location A, parameter B
- The way to solve this in MDM is to use the qualified table. I have created one where:
Location = non-qualifier
parameter = qualifier
I want to make this searchable in the SRM-MDM search UI.
The user should be able to choose one Location, and then one parameter tied to that Location, to view relevant articles.
This is no problem using SAP Portal with MDM. But how can we realise this using SRM-MDM search UI?
I have tried, but can only get a drop down or text search on the non-qualifier field.
Can anyone please help? Is this even possible?
KR;
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Is there any possibilities to configure/add code to the search UI, or is this completely locked for customization/altering through code? Unfortunately, I feel it is standard and we can not customize it.
There is no issue in your design but if your location as well as parameter has certain(limited) number of values only. You can create location field in MDM Main table which is lookup to Locations Flat table and similarly for Parameter field lookup to Parameters table rather than using Qualified table. As you can set lookup/Text field search only, so you can set these two fields in your search criteria. where first you search for Location say US it will search records with US location and when you further give search according to parameter it will further filter(navigate) records based on both Location and parameter, just a thought came which i feel to share with you, try it if it helps you.

MDM catalog Search UI is showing SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of Product

Hi Experts,
We are working on SRM7.0 with MDM. We have one Development environment where MDM is working fine.
We made a copy of Existing MDM repository to new Server and Created new SRM-MDM environment for demo setup.
We have nade SRM instance as a copy of Development and when we try to connect to the MDM after making all changes to the search ui as same as Development we are getting search UI page of catalog as SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of SRM-MDM Product catalog.
I can able to acess the new repository through MDM Data manager it is fine.
The products in repository are not displayed in search ui page as only service view of catalog is shown.
Kindly reply if you have any idea or sugession.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

Access to SRM-MDM Catalog search UI takes long time

Hello,
We are facing a serious performance issue while accessing SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog search UI in portal system.The response time is between 5 sec - 8 sec. Any suggestions ?
I have already seen (Note 1077701 & 1138862)
Thanks .

Hi Shaikh.
Some suggestions.
1. You can restrict the number of records shown in the resultset page of the catalog when you launch.
2. You can also restrict the number of fields shown in the resultset page of the catalog when you launch.
3. If you don't need the picklist/hierarchy you can remove those
4. Also you can limit the number of advance search fields.
Any other special developments(Using BADI) done during the call of catalog?
Regards
Bala

At the catalog's search, can I enter with various products ID separated by ";" or "," and list all items of this list? The user did it when use SRM 2.0 with Requisite. He search various products in a same query.
For example:
Product ID field: 112548; 4845; 151515 -> Search button
Results:
112548    Product 1     Group 1
4845      Product 2     Group 1
151515    Product 3     Group 1
I'm using SRM-MDM-Catalog. Its possible when I use this catalog?
Thanks,

Hi Evandro,
Not too sure what your requirement is but these are the search operations posible in SRM-MDM v2.0.
word* = Starts with

Modify catalog Search UI in SRM-MDM

Hi,
I'm working with SRM 4.0 and SRM-MDM 2.0 and need to display more information in the search UI field "Price Information" , i want to add the Contract Description and the Supplier to this qualified table and to be able to see this information in the UI display.
The business logic behind this request is: we have a several suppliers delivering the same product so we have several contracts for the same product and we need to enable the user to decide which contract is the source of supply.
Regards,
Raz
Edited by: Raz Golan on Mar 23, 2009 7:43 AM

Hi Raz,
as the Java WebDynpro code is not open source, you cannot modify the WebDynpro itself.
Also the price information is hard coded, only the specific fields are taking into account by transfer.
Therefore I could only advice, to set up a new table for you, which can be displayed on the search UI, with the needed more information.
Regards,
Tamá

SRM-MDM Catalog: Images not shown in search ui - only placeholder visible

Hello Expert,
we have the problem, that the images, which we imported into the repository using the Data Manager are not shown in the search ui. The image is visible in the Data Manager and assigned to a product.

SRM-MDM searchs not working

Hi,
Whem doing a search in our SRM-MDM by the item description (for example "pencil") some items are not shown. If we search them from the "MDM Data Manager" searchs work OK. The data of the items that are not shown (language etc.) seems to be OK.
Could it be any cache issue? Must something be done in order to refresh the searchs?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

First a basic check ...
In MDM Search UI check User-Specific Configuration -> Customize Search -> operators , this is possible that you might have different set of parameter in MDM Data manager for search and different set of parameter here.
Next you can check the SRM web service if you are using any specific "Mask" .
Thanks

MDM - Create a named-search with an active one

Hi MDM experts,
Is there any possibility to activate a Named-Search and save another with another active search criteria?
I mean:
I choose Named-Search A
I activate another field for filtering.
Then I need to save this result as Named-Search B.
I can't find this option available (only in display mode). Any experience how this can be done?
Thanks,

SAP Note 1345702

SRM-MDM Dynamic catalog call structure and implicit search criteria

Hi experts,
We need to define the catalog call criteria for the SRM-MDM.
Our client requires content visualitzation restrictions but there is not any logic indentified to determine the records that must be viewed for every user.
Now, in their Non-SAP catalog, they are using users lists to which they assign the catalog records.
There are more than 150 users lists and is posible too to assign some catalog records to only 1 or 2 users, by user id.
We want to reproduce this scenario in SRM-MDM.
We are analysing two alternatives:
First alternative: badi BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH implementation for mask dynamic determination and custom z.
We've though in creating one mask for every user list.
Then, in SRM create a custom table with the userid and the user list id (mask equivalent). A user can belong to more than one user list.
Finally implement the BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH, searching in the z table the users id and obtaining the specific masks for this users and pass these masks as catalog call parameters dynamicly.
Is posible to use the BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH badi to pass dynamic parameters?
(in this case, maybe we could use a new org.est. attibute to assign user id and mask, instead of the custom table).
Second aternative: implicit search criteria based on a new org. est. atribute for mask
Is posible to create new implicit search criteria for org. est. atributes?
We could assign to every user the masks in the org. est. and then, create a new parameter which could look for the mask value in the org.est.
Thanks in advance

Hi Silvia,
I am not sure of the answer to the second part of the query but as for the usage of the BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH catalog in combination with various masks for the users to access catalog subsets, this should work quite well, best to try it out in a DEV environment and see how it goes.
Regards,
Jason

More than 2 dropdown boxes in the UI Configuration/SRM-MDM Catalogue Search

Hi! We know that there is a limit to the number of drop-down boxes we can define in SRM-MDM UI configuration. However, we really have a need for that as there is no variant configuration in SRM-MDM. In this case, we want to allow user to select the colour (dropdown box) followed by size (dropdown box) in order to get the right items (e.g. shirt) to appear. Because we also need to have another field to be drop-down, we cannot do so due to the limitation.
Has anyone found a solution around this?
Cheers!

Shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog?

Dear Experts,
What is the use of shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog?
I have created a new shopping list in the system. I have filled the name, description and other details in the new shopping list.
When I select my shopping list, the button u2018Add to shopping list u2018is still disabled. How we can add new items to a newly created shopping list? My understanding is that a shopping list is created to include different shopping items as favorite list?
What is the function of the button u2018Share/Unshareu2019 ?
Please, help me to understand the functionality of shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog 3.0?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Note 1141870 - SRM-MDM Catalog: Usage of Shopping List (Memory, M/S)
Symptom
The usage of Shopping Lists in the SRM-MDM Catalog has direct influence on the memory consumption of the MDM Server.
Note 1153525 - Enabling shopping lists for named users
Note 1165452 - SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP04 Patch00 Release Note
Shopping Lists
You can use this function as a:
Template for orders that are made regularly
Search criterion
Prerequisites
Your User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager has given you shopping list authorization.
A shopping list must have at least one item in it to serve as a search criterion.
To display all items in a shopping list, the search criterion must be reset before the shopping list is selected.
This is because the search UI treats the shopping list as a search criterion. Consequently, any other active search criterion reduces the items displayed to a subset of all the items in the shopping list.
To display all shopping lists, including empty ones, on the Shopping List tab page, one of the following conditions must be met:
No other search criterion has been entered
The search has been reset
Activities
When a shopping list is selected as a search criterion, the system restricts the search by removing any items not included in the list from the search result.
Items can be added or removed from shopping lists in the shopping cart preview.
Note
Depending on authorization, users can modify either their own shopping lists or those of others.
This function provides search strategies for locating products, displaying product item details, and transferring items to procurement applications such as the cart. The Search User Interface (UI) can be configured to meet individual user requirements.
Prerequisites
The User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager is responsible for configuring the search UI.
If you cannot access some of the functions and features listed below, check that your user has been correctly configured. For more information, see User-Specific Configuration: Product Procurement
Features
On the Search tab page:
Keyword search
Advanced Search
Hierarchy (category) View
Allows you to drilldown when searching. This view also displays product attributes, if they have been maintained.
List View (for displaying search results)
Displays results with images and a URL to item details
Context View (for displaying search results)
Navigation up and down the list is possible and item images are also available.
In the List View and in the Context View, the following functions are available:
Add To Cart
Compare for price comparisons. For more information, see Compare Function
Cart Preview
On the Cart Preview tab page, the following functions are available:
Transfer Items
Delete
Delete All
