PM to SRM integration through OCI catalog

Hi,
We have sucessfully set up the necessary settings in ECC6 and SRM for OCI catalog integration when in transaction IW31 (Create Order)
I can see in table EPRTRANS the PR number and when running programme BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER the PR is transfered to SRM. When looking in transaction SLG1 I am getting an error message saying the Tax Code 00 does not exist. Check enteries
Regards,
Gary

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

Create OCI catalog for SRM using Web Dynpro

Hi all,
Have you ever implemented an OCI catalog for SRM using web-dynpro?
Please provide details.
Regards,
PooYee

Hi PooYee,
the BSP application would run the WD catalog and communicate with SRM.
In a certain way it would "wrap" the WD catalog application and enable accessing the http header.
This of course is not a trivial implementation.
Send me a mail and maybe I can give you some more ideas.

OCI Catalog Limitations

Dear SAP expert,
Could you please share your experience on external / OCI catalog re- limitations in the SAP CRM E-Commerce area?
Should we expect difficulties with integration & pricing? Will it restrict available functionalities and views in the B2C scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Regards, Stephanie

OCI catalog integration with CRM Web Channel is fairly simple and works fine. CRM Web channel side of the OCI integration can be enhanced to include custom fields to be transferred from OCI catalog to Web Channel basket.
The catalog item details and Pricing are the features of the external (OCI compliant) catalog you are using. So, you must check your external catalog for this
The user interface and navigation - or how the user interacts with the catalog and orders items - is what might turn you off. Remember, the external catalog, as you know is technically another web application that is NOT web channel application. Inter web application integration is through OCI (hiitp or xml) protocol.
1. Matching the styles of external catalog and your web channel application - might sound easy, but depends on the external catalog's capability to adapt to style changes.
2. The navigation from one application (catalog) to the other (web channel) is NOT what you will like in today's slick UI-s. Two applications will be open when the user is browsing the catalog to select and "collect" the items in external catalog and then transfers the items to the web channel basket.
Suggest you do a proof-of-concept and run the UI and navigation to the business users before you jump in.
Also, explore if you can use the external catalog using web services.

How to open OCI catalog(BSP application) in same window.

Hi All,
In EBP we are using BSP as OCI for raising a shopping cart . Currently at the home page(where links for catalogs are displayed) , when we click he link the BSP application opens in a new window.
What changes are required that the BSP application opens in the same window and not a new window?
Thank a lot,
Anubhav

Hi,
As per the SRM_SERVER IMG Help data for external web services:
7. Create the dialog/call structure.
To open a Web Service in a separate window, choose Standard Call Structure.
To open a Web Service within the application, choose Integrated Call Structure.
Note:
For the Integrated Call Structure of product catalogs, you should use the servlet delivered for this purpose (see post installation steps: Integrating the Requisite Catalog in the Shopping Cart).
Syntax example:
http://<HTTP-Server>:<port>/<your_entry>/catalog/logonOCI.do
SAP recommends that you only use the Integrated Call Structure for the catalog delivered by SAP because external product catalogs and Web Services usually to not take the SRM-Server-specificHTML frame structures into account. If you wish to include an external Web Service, SAP cannot provide any support in the event that errors should occur.

Jason

OCI Catalog for Vendor problem : Logical system for catalog not maintained

We have set up an OCI catalog with on of our vendors. This works fine untill we transfer shopping basket data from Vendor sysem into our SRM-system (SRM5.0). Then data is not being transfered and Vendor Webshop screen remains 'open'.
in SLG1 i have found an error "Logical system for catalog not maintained. Inform system administrator'
Anyone an idea what the cause of this error can be or what we need to check ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have not seen that error before. However, I think it may have to do with the LOGICAL_SYSTEM OCI field. Can you check if your punch-out catalog vendor is populating that field? Also, check if you have the correct BP# populated in the catalog configuration and the LOGICAL SYSTEM Field on the define External Webservices is blank.

SRM Integration in Universal Worklist (UWL)

Hi SRM freaks,
I've one question concerning SRM integration in Universal Worklist (UWL). Currently we have integrated our SAP SRM4.0(SRM_SERVER 500) solution in the SAP Enterprise Portal6.0, and after installation from an additional Business Package the system is working perfectly.
But we have one concern about UWL integration, the workitems which are send over eMail to the endusers are still containing ITS_DEST link which is defined in PPOMA. The following web link is pointing directly to SRM-EBP ITS link and not to the portal. Our idea would be to include a web link which is pointing to portal in order to access SRM-EBP content from there.
Can somebody help us on that topic !?
Thanks for your support.
Rafi

Rafi,
Hi. We are using SRM 5.5 and are intending on changing the ITS_DEST to run SRM through the portal.
That way any email links sent to the users always contain a link back to the Portal (which has our UWL configured).
I'm not too sure of the consequences of changing this attribute on release 500. Our system has an internal ITS - does yours?
Cheers
Rob

OCI Catalog MM PO and PR

Hi,
Have integrated OCI catalog to be called in ME21N and ME51N.
1.Only one catalog can be called unlike PM OCI inetgration were we can call multiple catalog.How do we call multiple catalog in ME21N and ME51N
2.How can we map the catalog to a R/3 Vendor number so that I dont need to add vendor number manually after data is transfered from catalog to PO or PR.
Regards

Hi
I just wanted first to know, how you implemented an OCI catalog function in ME51N or ME21N?
I found two SAP notes which tells me that it is "A function is missing in the standard system."
Check Notes

1092923 - Catalog connection in purchasing
Really appreciate your answer

Access a OCI Catalog from ABAP code

Hi Experts,
We may need to access an OCI Catalog from an ABAP code. We will need to punch out the Catalog in a browser window, and somehow get the results from the browser back to the ABAP code.
Any idea of how can this be accomplished?
Thanks and regards,
José Omar

Accessing the catalog is nothing but creating a hook url and directing to that URL.
For eg. you should have the parameters read from the SPRO settings in SRM and then creating an URL in the fly.
But as of now you can have hard coded URLs being fed in.
ie you click on a link and you fire the exit plug as in Web dynpro in suspend mode.
The main criteria is to have the catalog OCI 4.0 complaint. (read mandatory fields etc in OCI 4.0 documentation)
Then once you shop from some items in the catalog , the OCI compliant catalog will send you the data in the required file format.
At the receiving end , PO etc . you should have a ABAP method (at resume ) that interprets this sent name-value pair file from the catalog. then populate this data where you want.
you can have a look at the SRM methods that does the same in ABAP.
This would the 20,000 feet or more process overview on how it works. Hope this helps
thanks

OCI Catalogs in MM

Hi Guys,
as we all know since ECC6.0 we can use OCI catalogs in MM.
I now have a vendor who send me his OCI interface data. I customized the data. Everything is fine.
But I now have additions wishes:
1. Integration of multiple catalogs - only the default catalog is shown but there must be an opportunity to do this because it's mentioned in sap note 1092922 - has anybody done this before?
2. Is there any chance to influence the data from OCI catalog via BAdI or Enhancement. The only BAdI i found is ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE which is not accesible because it's declared SAP internal
3. How can i use the fields "NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD1" - "NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD5" can i define a mapping anywhere?
4. Has anybody here ever written an costumer specific transaction using MM Catalog API? Please let me know how it was done.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Christian

about Q2:
The BADI will be available to customers only from EHP4 on. The reason for that not being delivered to customer was that the
interface was not finalized and would be possibly changed.
If you want to implement it you may do it under own responsibility. In order to use this BADI, you need to execute transaction SE18 and select BADI ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE. You will need to uncheck checkbox 'within SAP' and save. Then you should be able to create your implementation via SE19. Or change the internal flag directly on database table SXS_ATTR
This is of course considered as a modification from the standard

Steps for Mapping OCI Catalog with R3 ISA (ERP E-Commerce)

Hi Gurus,
I just needed some help on how to go about integrating R3 ISA with OCI Catalog. Please provide reference to some relevant documentation if available.
Thanks.
Jai

Technically other than some [XCM settings and configuration|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2f/86653fac7ab21ae10000000a114084/content.htm] that define the external catalog URL, there isn't much needed to integrate a OCI compliant catalog - provided, you already have a OCI compliant catalog.
Start here on some technical information on OCI catalogs - [/people/masayuki.sekihara/blog/2007/12/07/oci-open-catalog-interface-setting-and-trouble-shooting|/people/masayuki.sekihara/blog/2007/12/07/oci-open-catalog-interface-setting-and-trouble-shooting]

CCM 2.0 Catalog to SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog during SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi,
We are upgrading our existing SRM 5.0 system to SRM 7.0 and we are planning to deploy SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog as it is more flexible & SAP is not going to support CCM 2.0 Catalog after 2013. Please let me know the upgrade steps/plan to upgrade CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. As per my understanding, there is no tool/method available to upgrade from CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog available. We need to build it from scratch i.e maintain SAP supplied MDM repository, upload data from SRM/ERP, upload suppliers catalog etc.
Thanks,
AS

Hi,
I have migrated CCM to SRM-MDM Catalog.
Steps are
- Install SRM-MDM Catalog
- Adjust Repository if you have custom fields
- Import contents
- Adjust view
Migration itself is not difficult but you need to learn how to use MDM client tools.
The SRM270 class room training is good one.

Sourcing CLM-SRM Integration : Supplier mapping

Dear Experts,
We have successfully implemented the CLM-SRM integration in our landscape.Further to this we have some clarifications required regaridng certain possibilities regarding this scenario.
1. Is it possible to have a different vendor names for a same vendor in SRM and CLM and to map these via XI in some way.
2 What is the primary purpose of 'External Validation' option in CLM which we see in Master Agreement.
Please let me know your valuable suggestions on this topic.
Thanks and regards,
Gopi

Hi Prasad,
hope you are doing fine.
I´m standing in front of a riddle!
I´m sending from the CLM-System a Contract to the SRM-System.
This can also be created without problems in the source system, as long as we have registered for the appropriate document type in the SRM as "internal number range".
But I want that the central contract is created in SRM with the "external number" and thus there is a single number for the contract.
Thus, this number would be the same in CLM and SRM.
Unfortunately, the SRM central contract always requires an " internal number ".
If this is not available, then there is a error (CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL) in the distribution of CLM contract at SRM.
Do you know if a BAdI in the Component "ESOSRMINT" exists, which can help me?
Thank you very much and best regards
Ghumaan

Thanks,
Mani
