How to create a product catalog in crm(by the end user of the system)?

how can we an end user create a product catalog?
what is the diff b/n prod cat and prod?
we download the prod from r/3.
how we get the prod cat done in crm for the customers and consumers and how it is done?
thank you,

hi
first of all we need to look at what is catalog management before proceding with product and product catalog.
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product descriptions, multimedia objects, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information, structured in such a way that most meets your customers needs.
Product catalogs are implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting your products in the Web shop.
difference between the product and product catalog
this is not the thing that product and product catalog are completely different entity.
Product catalog :   A grouping together of products from your product master data, in a structured hierarchy.
You use product catalogs to group together products to present them in the Web shop, Interaction Center, or in other forms of media, for example printed format or CD-ROM.
You can create various catalogs for your products in the product master and use them according to a validity date. For example, you could use certain products for the summer season, and other products for the winter season.
You can also tailor your product catalog to meet other needs by creating catalog variants. For example, you can create a catalog in English with the prices displayed in US Dollars.
so by above definition it is very much clear that products are actually assign to the catalog,i will give you an analogy that museum is a kind of catalog and you add different pictures to the museum,in the same way you add product to the product catalog according to the acatlog variant.
Now how you assign product to product catalog
Product Assignment
You assign products manually or automatically to a catalog area, depending on the catalog type. The product ID, product description, and status of all products is displayed, as is the information as to whether the item contains accessories or if it is a configurable product.
Prerequisites
You have created products in your product master in SAP CRM under Accounts and Products
Process
You select a catalog area in your product catalog, and edit the item list by assigning products to the area.
Manual Assignment
You can assign products manually on an individual basis or by copying a catalog area. You tend to choose manual product assignment for marketing-oriented catalogs that are subjected to editorial controls.
      Individual assignment
      In this case you select the catalog area in which the product should be assigned, manually search for the product in the product master, and assign it to the area.
      Copying items from catalog areas
      You select an area or subarea from another catalog and copy it to your new catalog. The system copies all products from the copied area to the new catalog, as long as they belong to the distribution chain assigned to the target catalog variant. From these products, you can then manually determine which products from the copied area you want to keep and which items you wish to delete.
The following is true for manually assigned products:
      You can activate or deactivate items on an individual basis.
      You can edit the list of accessories for manually assigned products. The system determines which accessories are maintained for the product in the product master and displays them in the item area of the catalog. You select which accessories should be displayed for the product in the catalog and activate them.
      Manually assigned products can be included or removed from catalog views on an individual basis.
Automatic Assignment
You can assign products automatically to a catalog by transferring product hierarchies from your product master to the catalog areas. The categories, items, attributes, and documents contained in the product hierarchy are copied to the new catalog.
You use automatic product assignment mainly for functional catalogs, where products can be copied with very few changes, from the product categories of the product master. It enables a standardized characterization of your products in the catalog.
The following is true for products assigned to the catalog using product hierarchy transfer:
      Product categories which make up the hierarchies become catalog areas in the catalog.
      Product categories in the product hierarchy must be assigned to the distribution chain to which the target catalog variant is assigned. Otherwise the category is not transferred. The same applies to the items, texts, and documents assigned to the category.
      Items are always active and cannot be individually activated or deactivated.
      Accessories maintained for transferred product in the product master are automatically included and displayed in the catalog.
      Transferred items cannot be individually included in catalog views or removed from them. Instead all items of the hierarchy are always contained in the view.
      Lists of characteristics for transferred categories and items can be automatically created when transferring product hierarchies. The transferred values are included in the item overview of the product catalog.

Missing prices in a product catalog in ERP E-commerce

Hi All,
We are implementing ERP E-commerce using ECC 6.0 as the backend. I created a product catalog using
basic data thet includes catalog type, proper sales area, a valid customer, document schema, variant
and all other required data. I defined some valid materials in the layout of the product catalog. I created
condition recors for the sales area/customer/material combination. But, I do not get any prices for the
materials in the product catalog. If I create a sales order using he sales area, material and customer that
I used in the product catalog then I get the proper prices for the materials in the sales order.
Please let me know what can be the reasons for the missing prices in product catalog? What configuration/
settings that need to be done to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.
--R D

CaN you chk in mm02 for those materials if a valid unit of measurement is maintained?

Architecture of Product Catalog Publishing

Hello CRM Experts,
I've created a product catalog in CRM 7. I'm using the CRM Webclient to create my sales documents. I thought that the catalog would be available in the Webclient but that is not the case for me. When I go to the webclient I don't see my catalog.
We're using the CRM 7.0 system in standalone mode.
While reading the documentation I ran across this document which lists the requirements for integrating the product catalog from CRM 7 to the Webclient
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/1c/12b2dc57d644d19ea3a5c4156f904f/frameset.htm]
A few questions arose after I read this. I'm hoping you can help me with some of the details (the text in italics comes from the documentation referenced above).
You have set up a Java based CRM Product Catalog. For more information, see Creation of Product Catalogs. I'm assuming that this is referring to the regular product catalog I've setup in CRM 7.0. Why does it say "Java Based" ?
You have set up a Web shop running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) server. For more information about the configuration of the Web shop, see SAP Solution Manager Do you know where I should look in Solution Manager? What if I'm using CRM 7.0 in standalone mode. Solution Manager is not involved. I'm working on a sandbox environment
You have configured the Extended Configuration Management (XCM) settings. For more information about Extended Configuration Management (XCM) for Web Channel, see SAP Solution Manager. Do you know where I should look in Solution Manager? What if I'm using CRM 7.0 in standalone mode. Solution Manager is not involved. I'm working on a sandbox environment
You have assigned the user to a business role. The following table explains the technical names for each business role in the standard implementation: My role has Sales Professional role. I'm assuming that should suffice.
I'd appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

For E-Commerce with CRM, (Web Channel - E-Selling) Product Catalog is a mandatory component. CRM Web Channel provides the required User Interface for the CRM Product Catalog. For the functioning of Product Catalog in CRM, TREX is mandatory. While the Product catalog definition and product master data still remains in the CRM backend, the TREX (Index server) is used to keep the product id and some pertinent chracteristics / attributes of the product in indices, thus making the product search as a "offline" task and searches are much faster without any load to the backend system.
E-Commerce with ERP (R/3 backend) provides Product Catalog feature - but has two solutions, one search with TREX and the other without TREX. Product search without TREX are run in the R/3 backend. Unfortuntely there is no such solution with CRM.
Well, now coming to using Product Catalog with Web UI (Interaction Center), you need the Product Catalog in CRM, and hence TREX. Hope this explains.
Now, ask the Basis team to please read the [Installation Guide|https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/crm-inst] and [Master Guide|https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/002007974700000372592008E/50089607_A4_CRM70SR1_130.pdf].

Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
The TOC would contain the product Categories.
So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6.
From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed. If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items.
Any suggestions?

Peter Spier wrote:
TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

Create a product catalog from flat fiile

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a product catalog from a flat file. Basic requirement is to add products under product catalog. Further requirement can be extended to add views and add images to product catalog.
I want to know steps or function modules which will be used in order to achieve basic requirement first and then extended requirement.
Any sample example explaining the same will be more useful.
Thanks in advance
Madhura

By uploading images to a Product Catalog, the program below will also add the item to the catalog area specified.
SE38 - Run Program COM_PCAT_MASS_DOC_IMPORT
It has it's own Program Information to explain how it works.
Here's the first portion of the that information:
Title
Mass Import of Multimedia Documents for Product Catalogs
Purpose
This report enables you to automatically import multimedia documents that are already available in a file system and assign these documents to product catalog items. The items are identified using a product number. An item is created if a corresponding one is not available.
A simple text file, which can be created using the normal spreadsheet programs or simple text editors, is used as a basis for the import.
We have used this in the past, but it has some performance issues, so experiment to be sure you don't try to upload too many images at once...it can bog down after a few batches and begin crawling.

How do I create jump to (page) links using DPS in creating a digital page turner for a catalog?

I know how to use "navto" to jump to pages within the catalog created for our app.
We want to use the same article files to create a digital page turner using DPS but cannot figure out how to do it. Google searches lead to answers that say it isn't possible, but if i view a page turner I created in 3D Issue via Adobe's Content Viewer, the pages jump (via the links I made in 3D Issue).
I just can't believe that a huge company like Adobe has no way to do this in DPS.

On pages you do not want to show-up delselect "include page in navigation menu" in the page inspector:

How do I create a digital signature to use when filling out applications online?

The application is asking me to add or create a digital ID to sign and encrypt documents. The certificate that comes with your digital ID is sent to others so that they can verify your signature.
I have four options: Browse for an existing digital ID file
Configure a roaming ID for use on this computer
Create a self-signed digital ID for use with Acrobat
Look for newly inserted hardware tokens

Formscentral does not support forms with digital signature workflows. I suggest you see if our Echosign product meets your needs.

Table where documents are linked to materials in product catalogs?

Hi
We are working on ISA 5 and we are blocked trying to figure out which one is the table where we can see the link between a Document and the Material master located in a product Catalog.
I've created the document via transaction - CV01N (Document creation and Assignment to the material master) and I've also assigned it via the catalog maintenance transaction - WWM2. But so far I cannot find the table where this assignment is done.
Can you please help me on this one?
Cheers
Hugo

The table you need for object links of a document is DRAD.

I have uploaded the PDF file to the correct Web Server folder.
But I CAN NOT see my PDF file anywhere in Web Catalog.
By the way, following the same steps I have also created another Document containing 2 original images:
Document 2002 \ Document Type L01 \ Document Part 000 \ Document version 00
In that document, I have created 2 originals with the following parameters:

Hi Abir,
           SAP standard for R/3 E-commerce allows only SIM and LIM applications.
Any further requirements like PDF needs to be an enhancement on the product details JSP.
Also make sure you are storing the PDFs in the right location to retreive it on the product details.

How to attach PDF file to product catalog in e-Commerce ERP

Hello Experts,
We are implementing SAP E-Commerce for ERP (ECC 6.0 version)
On the product catalog, I need to attach a PDF file to the products.
I have created a document as
Document Type: DMO
In this I have created 1 original as:
Applic: PDF
Original: "abc.pdf" (the PDF file has been uploaded to the correct Web Server folder)
This document has been assigned to the product as u2018Documentsu2019 in the product catalog.
I replicated the catalog on TREX. However now I am not sure how to acess this document on the e-Commerce Products JSP.
When I access the product index on TREX, I do not see any attribute that contains this document Type containing the PDF.
(The standard LIM / SIM documents are getting attached correctly to the products, I see the relevant images on the JSP)
I am not sure if I am missing something in attaching the document?. Please let me know what else is required to be done for this?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Roopali

Hey Roopali,
Following is the procedure to Attach a multimedia object .
Hope you are following this especially point number 16.
1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
Transaction code     COMM_PCAT_ADM
SAP CRM menu     Master Data à Product Catalog à Maintain Product Catalog
You will have Material Master rather than Product catalog as it is ECC version.
2.     In the Product Catalog field, enter PRODUCT CATALOG
3.     In the Catalog Type field, enter Manual and automatic assignment.
4.     Choose Change.
5.     Expand Header Data by choosing the Expand data area Button labeled Header Data
6.     Check that the status is Inactive.
A yellow light bulb indicates that the status is Active. To set the status to Inactive, click the light bulb and a gray light bulb appears.
To add new products to your product catalog, you must first deactivate the status on all levels.
7.     In the Object Name screen area, select your product catalog.
8.     Choose Expand all.
9.     Double-click the catalog area to which you want to manually assign your objects.
10.     Check that all products are set to inactive.
11.     In the Item list, double-click the product.
12.     The selected product is shown below in the screen area Item Details.
13.     Choose the Item Documents tab.
The tab page Product Documents provides information about which objects are already assigned to a product in the product master. This means that these objects cannot be changed in the product catalog. They can only be changed in the product master.
14.     Choose the folder YCRM_IMAGE or YCRM_THUMB and choose Import document. Browse for the multimedia object that you want to assign to the product.
15.     Select the object (picture) and choose Save.
16.     Choose the tab page Properties to set this multimedia object as language-independent, set the field Language-Independent(Prod) = Yes.
This field controls the publication of documents in catalog variants depending on the language. This means that the document is valid for all languages in which the catalog is published.
17.     Choose Save.

Sumit

How to add new attribute in product catalog?

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
The requirement is to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen.
Do I need to create any custom java class?
Need suggestion!!
Thanks.
Regards,
Rupali

Hello Rupali,
I am assuming a CRM E-Commerce scenario for my help here.
Can anyone tell me how to add new field/attribute in product catalog?
You must start from defining the new Attribute in an exisiting or new Set Type. Use transaction code COMM_ATTRSET. Once you have the attribute / attribute set defined, you can assign this to your catalog - in the header data as the Basic characteristic List.
to display product's new attribute on product catalog screen
See catalog/ProductDetailISA.jsp for tips - search for catalog.isa.attribute. The catalog item WebCatItem has all the details available already.
com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem currentItem = webCatItem;
If you want to show the details of attributes in the catalog page - say - catalog/ProductsISA.jsp, the instance of WebCatItem is already available. In this page look for
<isa:iterate id="item"
name="itemPage"
type="com.sapmarkets.isa.catalog.webcatalog.WebCatItem">
You can see that item is an instance of the WebCatItem and follow the code in the <isa:iterate> loop. Using the following code
Iterator itemAttribute = item.getCatalogItemAttributes();
will give you the attribute list. You can iterate over the list of attributes and do what you want.
