New in CRM 5.0 Product Configuration

Hi All,
I am looking for information related changes in CRM 5.0 relavent to product configuration.I know SAP has delivered AP engine for product configuration,however need more detailed information in this regard.
My main concern is: 1) How to create Charateristics, Classes etc in standard alone implementation.
If we have R/3 as a backend,download the data from R/3...but if its standalone implementation..I am not sure about the steps involved.
If anybody has documentation,please forward to [email protected]
Thanks in advance

Hi Ajay,
We are using PME to configure the product attributes in one of our major implementation of CRM. It's very easy through PME.
Have a look at the SAP Note 857969.

CRM 7.0: set up IPC product configuration

Dear experts,
we set up a CRM 7.0 with ERP 6.0 backend integration. In the ERP we apply ERP variant configuration (Materials). Quite simple: some configurable materials (material type KMAT) with a few characteristics and product variants of them (material type FERT) which are maintained in order processing. Variant conditions are maintained and automatically determined for product items. Now we need this in CRM for opportunity processing.
Therefore we have created Knowledge Base and Runtime Version for the configurable products in ERP and downloaded test materials (one KMAT and one FERT (product variant) into CRM (download objects MATERIAL and SCE). In CRM product master data maintenance for the KMATconfigurable tab with the configuration profile is displayed. Afterwards we downloaded condition master data into CRM, among others variant condition VA00 with condition table A057. Everything looks fine.
In CRM we want to set up opportunity management. In the opprotunity transaction processing pricing is working already besides the determination of variant pricing. As we intend to maintain only FERT materials (product variants)we do not need interactive product configuration in CRM sales order or product simulation in CRM product master data. We only want the variant prices to be determined automatically for the product variants (FERT) in opportunity processing. That is why we are not sure if it necessary to set IPC configuration settings (XCM etc.). This is my first question. Nevertheless we started to maintain settings for product configuration in order to find out if this is solves our problem:
1.) XCM configuration (IPC): we set up a customer application for "crmproductsimulation" and defined customer components jco (RFC test worked) and productvariants and restarted J2EE Instance in TX: SMICM
2.) We set up product configuration customizing:
table: COMM_IPC_PROP: caller; crmproductsimulation; scenario.xcm; ZCRMproductssimulation
table: COMM_IPC_URL: UI_CFG; http://<host>:<port>100/ipc/ipc/command.do
When starting simulation of product model for configurable product in TX: COMMPR01 I get following error message: "HTTP500: ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='ZCRMproductssimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.
Details:   No details available". This application is maintained in XCM so I assume something else is missing.
To sum up my questions:
1.) Is it necessary to set up IPC product configuration as described above when we only want to maintain FERT products which are product variants and determine corresponding variant prices (VA00). No interactive product configuration is necessary.
2.) If it is necessary to set up IPC product configuration to active product configuration (to see product variants in product master data maintenance and opportunity processing and corresponding variant condition data), what did I do wrong?
Thank you very much for your help.
KInd regards,
Mark

Hi Arup,
thank you very much for your reply.
Concerning XCM / CRM customizing I have done the steps you recommended:
1. XCM: I created customer applications for crmordermaintain and crmproductsimulation and maintained customer component JCO for both of them (Assigned JCO User has SAPALL / SAPNEW, test run was successful) Active and default are ticked. Are there any further steps missing.May be in General Application Settings > Customer > ipcwebappconfig - I changed nothing there (SSLenabled: true)
2. In CRM customizing I maintained tables as follows:
COMM_IPC_PROP:
caller   crmordermaintain scenario.xcm   Zcrmordermaintain (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
caller   crmproductsimulation scenario.xcm Zcrmproductsimulation (name of customer xcm app -case sensitive)
COMM_IPC_URL:
Destination: UI_CFG ;Appl. <blank>; URL: http://<host>:<J2EEport/ipc/ipc/command.do
Calling the IPC product configuration e.g. from the CRM product master (simulate model), I get the already mentioned HTTP error:"ISA Framework: The [XCM application configuration]='Zcrmproductsimulation' does not exist. Check XCM configuration.".
That's why I am thinking that something is missing concerning the communication between CRM application and IPC,because XCM applications do definitely exist.
Is the URL correct .../ipc/ipc/commando.do which I maintained in table COMM_IPC_URL?
Is it possible to check if communication between CRM Online and Java does work respectively what do you exactly mean by "IPC URL must be available for UI_CFG"? UI_CFG ist a RFC-connection which has to be maintained additionaly and if so what has to be maintained exactly?
You mentioned a RFC_USER (This is the JCO-User I suppose?)and J2ee user. Is the J2ee user just the admin user of the J2EE engine or do you mean something different?
Thanks in advance for your further help.
Best regards,
Mark
Edited by: Mark Willhoeft on Jun 4, 2010 8:36 PM
Just one further thing: After changing XCM config I restarted J2EE by TX SMICM (Administration - J2EE Instance local - Send soft shutdown - with restart). Is this enough to restart J2EE and activate changed XCM settings or has the restart to be handled different?

External product configurator within a CRM-ERP LORD2 scenario?

Is it possible to use an external product configurator within a CRM-ERP LORD2 scenario?
My customer has a running webshop with an own configuration UI (java based) which is connected through badis with the ECC.
And now we implemented in SAP CRM the ERP Quotation.
Instead of rebuilding the varionatfunctions ord attributes seting the customer thinks about to intgrate the existing "konfigurator" of his web shop.
Is there anyone who knows the interface
Basic Functions -> Product Configuration -> Settings for External Configurators.
more detailed.
Where can I find an Interface declaration?
Is the planned approached in general a valid way (from your point of view).
thanks,
Dirk

Hi Stuart,
You have to notice that in order to user R/3 BOM in CRM,
you have to download object BOM (tcode R3AC1).
But downloading object BOM into CRM only possible if
your R/3 is Retail scenario (unfortunetly mine is not).
Next thing I am going to test is, create Knowledge Base
in R/3 (choosing the type = BOM). after that in CRM
download using standard configurable object SCE.
If this successfull, we can see the configurable in
the Material Master CRM.
I am going to try this in couple days, please try it
first and let me know the result.
Hope this give you some information.
Cheers,
Gun.

CRM Extractors for Product & Customer

Hi Experts,
Iam new to CRM, can any one provide me the extractors for Product and Customer. Here we are trying to extract Product and Customer data from CRM source to BW/BI target, so if i know the extractors for the above it will be really helpful. Also if there is any step by step guide for the same it would be a great help.
Thanks in advance
Shiv

Hi all, this may be too late based on the posted dates, but this is a current issue for me that I have found solution for now and I will post up anyways same thing. There is very little documentation so hopefully this is helpful for whoever else has unique requirements to use this delivered functionality.
Finally I am able to find a solution to this problem and now my system is tracking all status changes and providing me detail conveniantely on duration and time between status changes.
There are some table entries that need to be created plus a couple notes that will help. This applies to people who are not getting any data whatsoever in their CRMD_TSS_DTRACK table or 0CRM_TSS_DTRACK extractor.
Goto transaction --> SMW3FDCUST and make the following entries:
BDoc Type BUS_TRANS_MSG
Context mBDoc Notification (additional calls)
Sequence 50
Service Function CRM_UPLOAD_BW_TSS_DTRACK_SRV
and
BDoc Type BUS_TRANS_MSG
Context mBDoc Notification Multiple (additional calls)
Sequence 50
Service Function CRM_UPLOAD_BW_TSS_DTRACK_SRV
and
BDoc Type BUS_TRANS_MSG
Context mBDoc Initial Load (additional calls)
Sequence 50
Service Function CRM_UPLOAD_BW_TSS_DTRACK_SRV
To also ensure your statuses are being captured after all your configurations have been made, be sure that for these 2 key notes you have the approriate corrections existing in your system:
1024652 - This ensures your custom statuses groups are captured in table and extractor (once you have enhanced it of course)
1239530 - Ensures that all status changes are captured according to your configurations
Thanks.

Issue in Product configurator component on Clicking DONE button - Session hung up

Hi All,
In our environment, eCommunications and eProdCFGObjMgr are separately configured in different servers..
When we place order and take through product configurator to customize the product and click DONE button, the eCommunication session itself got hung.
When i checked the eComm task, its just waiting for command and the eProdcfgObjMgr component shows the following error in their respective task
bash-3.00$ more eProdCfgObjMgr_enu_0017_17825803.log

We resolved the issue by restarting the component and clearing the mentioned cache directory. But i want to analyze deep as why it happened.
Please reply me if you have come across such issue.

To achieve the above, try the below fix:
var buttonBar:ButtonBar = new ButtonBar();
buttonBar.requireSelection = true;
Hopefully this works for you . Cheers!!

Service product configuration

Hi Experts,
I have requirement to update characteristics of service product configuration in a service order, could you please let me know if you have any idea about any function modules and how to use them and what parameters need to pass to them.
I am able to get the characteristics data through the function module VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION, but I am unable to use FM
CE_I_SET_CONFIGURATION to change or update the new characteristics data in the service product, as I am not clear what to pass on this.
If this is not clear let me know.
Thanks in advance..
-Vinni

Hi,
It was a headache, but at last found a way to do that, but no error handling was possible in this case.
You have to read the existing characteristics by using function module CUCB_GET_CONFIGURATION and then change/append the characteristics data as required, then use CUCB_SET_CONFIGURATION for updating the required data in service product, then use function modules CUCB_CONFIGURATION_TO_D and do the commit work subsequently.
Thanks,
Vinni

Get Product Configuration

Hello,
Is there any BAPI or function that returns the Configuration Product data after i pass the PRODUCT_ID or the PRODUCT_GUID?
In the scenario i have(CRM 3.1), the product configuration is made in R/3 and then the configuration data passes to IPC.
What i see when i go to COMMPR01 in the tab Configuration and then click on Simulate Configuration button is a view from IPC with all the characteristics of the product.
Best regards to all,

Hi Raj,
I have a problem. When I create knowledge base and runtime version , the data is not getting downloaded to CRM.
I am alwalys doing an Initial download to get the knowledge base.
Any idea why delta download does not work. I assume when I generate the run time version, automatically the delta download should start. Am I right.
We are having CRM 4.0 SP04.
Do I need to export SCE Runtime version. I assume that this function export is used to export the sCE data to SCE database which resides in a PC and not to CRM middleware.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Also do you have any idea of how to download configurable BOM's via knowledge base.
Thanks in advance

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How can i create a new and tableless database using database configuration

Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
Using the Database Configuration Assistant
When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle

One thing that is mentioned, but not really emphasized, is that the zooming when opening and closing Apps is now gone when the reduce motion setting is enabled. I guess too many people where claiming sea sickness and Apple wanted to avoid lawsuits.
Now the nay sayers will have to refocus their efforts and complain about the font and the icons.

Service Pack 2 Update - Configuration Failed in Step 5:Products Configuration Wizard (Login Failed)

THIS IS FOR THE TEST ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS ONLY ONE SP SERVER/ONE SQL SERVER
The previous admin before me had already installed OWA Sp2/September 2014 CU on this box without Project Server Sp2 being installed along with it. I am now just updating Project Server to Service Pack 2. I downloaded the file from Microsoft, and installed
the files on the box. I now am running the Products Configuration Wizard to complete the update.
note: the config database version is 14.0.7132.5000 (because of the OWA Sp2
and September cumulative update installed, it does not say Service Pack 2 anywhere)
Please see photos to see the error I am getting. I cannot access the central administration anymore, it is giving me a HTTP Error 503. I need to fix this ASAP! I have tried using another account that should have had permissions but still no dice.

on all languages (arabic, english, french, german, russian, spanish) but we do not use any of them here.
