Possible to reassign catalog items to another category?

Hello all
First of all I want to say a BIG THANK YOU ALL!!! Here SRM users, gurus, specialists, newbies can find a real great community! Good to perfect answers and solutions, really fast reactions, very kind people, ... Hopefully I will be able to give some things back soon (besides rewarding with points) as I'm learning more and more from day to day from you all!
But... I have one more question: is it possible (and if yes how) to reassign catalog items to another category. We're on CCM 2.0 SP03 and couldn't find such a function until now. Is there a report we can run? Or do we have to delete and rebuild the content again? We have some manually added items and would like to have them move to another catalog category.
Any useful help will of course be rewarded with points!
Kind regards and keep up the good work,
Renaud

Hi Chris
Our category structure has the following structure:
/CCM/MASTER_CATALOG
   > Main schema node
      > Node 1
         > Node 1.1 (product cat. X)
         > Node 1.2 (product cat. Y)
         > ...
      > Node 2
         > Node 2.1 (product cat. A)
         > Node 2.2 (product cat. B)
         > ...
      > Node 3
         > Node 3.1 (product cat. I)
         > Node 3.2 (product cat. II)
         > ...
      > Node 4
         > Node 4.1 (product cat. a)
         > Node 4.2 (product cat. b)
         > ...
In CCM CAT (catalog authoring tool) it is possible to manually add some catalog items (material). They're assigned to the category (node) you're actually in. We have accidentally manually put (created) some materials this way in node 2 directly (yes, that's possible) and want to move those items to node 3.
Those manually added items are not coming from a supplier or SRM extracted catalog! Thus there is NO MAPPING between categories from supplier or SRM extracted catalog to our /CCM/MASTER_CATALOG.
However, those items have a product category assigned (attribute /CCM/PRODUCT_CATEGORY if I recall correctly). Because without it the process within SRM (like backend system determination, purch.group determ., etc.) will not work properly.
All this doesn't seem to help when wanting to move such items from node 2 to node 3. It seems like in that case we need to delete the items and recreate them again in the correct node.
Hope this clarified our problem description a bit. Sometimes its quite difficult to explain without being able to show it on the screen...
Thanks for further suggestions!
Kind regards,
Renaud

Is it possible to split invoice Item category wise?

Is it possible to split invoice Item category wise

In trx VTFA (if your billing is sales order based) choose your billing type and SO type, there select your item categories and there select the field VBRK/VBRP data. In that field you will see the currently used routine. With the help of your ABAP guy create a copy of that routine under a different number and add your lines of code. Let's say you use routine 001.
FORM DATEN_KOPIEREN_001.
Header data
VBRK-xxxxx = ............
Item data
VBRP-xxxxx = ............
Additional split criteria
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
MODUL(3) VALUE '001',
VTWEG LIKE VBAK-VTWEG,
SPART LIKE VBAK-SPART,
END OF ZUK.
ZUK-SPART = VBAK-SPART.
ZUK-VTWEG = VBAK-VTWEG.
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
ENDFORM.
This is how it should look after modification:
Header data
VBRK-xxxxx = ............
Item data
VBRP-xxxxx = ............
Additional split criteria
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
MODUL(3) VALUE '001',
VTWEG LIKE VBAK-VTWEG,
SPART LIKE VBAK-SPART,
PSTYV LIKE VBAP-PSTYV, <- New line
END OF ZUK.
ZUK-SPART = VBAK-SPART.
ZUK-VTWEG = VBAK-VTWEG.
ZUK-PSTYV = VBAP-PSTYV. <- New line
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
ENDFORM.
After this routine is created and activated place it as the default copy control routine instead of the old ones

How to configure CSWP on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item page on Publishing site in a Cross Site Publishing scenario?

I have created a Cross Site Publishing Environment in SharePoint Online. After connected
to my catalog. 2 pages automatically created. But in "Category" page, if i click on an item it will bring me to the original path/item located in Authoring site. How to configure Content Search Web Part on Category page to show the Published Catalog-item
page on Publishing site?
Can we do this by changing the property mappings?

Hi,
According to my understanding, you want users to be redirected to pages in the current site instead of the source page of the search results in a Content Search Web
Part.
By default, the hyperlinks of the search results in a Content Search Web Part will point to the source page where the data comes from, when the hyperlink of each result
is clicked, user will be redirected to the corresponding source page.
If the data comes from other sites, what page do you want to display when user clicks a search result in the Content Search Web Part?
Property Mappings can help to control the content of each part of a display template, however, there seems no such property in the search result can help to redirect
to the pages of the current site, thus, it might not be able to meet your requirement.

Possible to link item type to category?

Hello,
I've created some custom item types, and I've got some categories.
Is it possible to link certain item types to a distinct set of categories?
So item type 1 can only choose between category A and B, and item type 2 can only choose between category C and D ?
Thanks,
Ton

hi ton,
this is not possible. the problem is that you can choose category as an attribute for the custom item type. but the configuration of the available categories are done on page group level. the selection is then used for every item that has this attribute.

Is it possible to list out CATALOG ITEMS GROUP in a Query Result of a Request Offering??

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to list out CATALOG ITEMS GROUP as a result of Query Result in Request Offering ?? Because each and every Catalog Items Groups are being created as a SingleTon Child Class of System.CatalogItemGroup. i.e., Each CatalogItemGroup instance
will have its own singleton class.
Is it possible to list out all CatalogItemGroup Instances consolidatedly in the QueryResult Window??
Though the System.CatalogItemGroup class is an Abstract class, I tried to list out the Classinstances via powershell command as below, which lists all catalog group instances, Note: Actually these are instances of SingleTon
Child Classes
"Get-SCClassInstance -Class (Get-SCClass -Name System.CatalogItemGroup)"
But when I configured the QueryResult window with the "System.CatalogItemGroup" class, it doesn't list out any Group instances in the Porta.......
Am I missing anything, Any suggestions please???
Thanks and Regards, Narayana Babu

Thanks Anton, I already tried that too... But it doesn't list out any Group instances in the Portal.
Since each Catalog Groups are individual Single ton Class instances derived from "System.CatalogItemGroup" class. Therfore If I specify the internal ID of the abstract class "System.CatalogItemGroup" in the tag below, it doesn't list any in the
Portal.... But if I specify ID of any one of the derived singleton class, it does displays the one instance of that particular class..
Thanks and Regards, Narayana Babu

UNSPSC code is not passed for RT catalog item then error !!

Hi SRM GURUs,
We have implemented BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI.
In which if a RT catalog item is not having UNSPSC code then we are passing some generic material group for that particular item.
Here the issue is, if a UNSPSC code is not passed for a RT catalog item, then system is throwing error message "No logical system for FI is maintained. inform system admin".
Also, a pop-up is coming on SRM screen "Error in system;shopping cart cannot be processed further" and then after clicking on "OK" of the POP-UP it is taking me on SRM home page.
will anybody explain why this is happening ? Kindly, explain this logic (As this logic is in standard SAP program)?
PS: we are at SRM5.0 & CCM2.0.
Thanks !!
Vivek

Content Query Web Part - in 2010 but Catalog-Item Reuse in 2013

In SharePoint 2010 I exported this SharePoint Links List to be a WebPart that I can put for things. It's our company's "Popular Links." "WE" decide what is "Popular." We have a few that I am sharing here.
In 2010 I got this to be a web part that I can pop onto multiple sites on our site collection. Now in 2013, I'd like to use Search if possible to get this to work. I tried and it didn't come out right.
SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition RTM dec 2013 CU
I tried the Items Matching a Tag and I set a tag to be "Popular Links" and set the tag on the items below in this graphic. I then set it to look only at these.
This is on the same page on the "home" page, publishing turned on. I don't have the "feel" of the first "list" that I did on the graphic above. It's not CSS as it is on the same page using the same master page.
Also when I click on the link it takes me to the displayform.aspx?id=1 page and I want to have the user just click the hyperlink.
Could I / should I use the Catalog-Item Reuse feature with publishing and get a new site collection setup with this? I am frustrated as I'd like to "share" information in another site, just as this "perfect" example (for me) to
show this information multiple times.
Thank you!

CQWB is supported for Publishing Sites or site having publishing feature turned on, on other it will not work as expected.
You can add it on the page from ribbon insert web part> from categories select Content Rollup > next pane slect Content Query.

Allow changes to SC fields for catalog items

We're on SRM 5.0 (SRMServer 5.5). In contrast to free-text (non-catalog) items, EBP makes certain fields display-only when adding catalog items to shopping cart. We need to make the following fields available for user's input when the user adds a zero-priced item from the catalog:
- price
- currency
- UoM
One solution I can think of is to make EBP treat zero-priced catalog items as free-text items. To achieve that, will it be enough to implement a BAdI (e.g. BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER) to blank out CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM fields?
Failing that, can we use BBP_SC_UI_CTRL method of BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI to make price/currency/UoM available for input?
I know there're SAP Notes to make Price and UoM changeable for catalog items (693175,748855), but they all entail modifications which I'd like to stay away from as much as possible.
Thanks and Cheers,
Serguei

Thank you for your quick response, Yann.
So, you confirm that the CATALOGID field is available to the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BAdI, and that clearing it will open the fields? Also, can I assume that CATALOGID is the only criteria in price determination for my scenario - so that, when CATALOGID is blank, EBP will treat the item price as "manual price", not "catalog price"?
You've brought up a good point about reporting on this field. I'll keep it in mind.
What about the second approach: can BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI (or some other BAdI) be used to modify SC field status for the mentioned fields?
The two OSS Notes are not part of standard, they are not included in any Support Pack, so they're mods, and will be our last option to consider.
Cheers,
Serguei

Catalog items visible to everyone, purchaseable only for some users

Hello everybody
Me again trying to find a solution to the following problem:
We need to have some items in our catalog that are visible for every user but only purchaseable via shopping cart / SRM for some authorized users. I couldn't find any possibility in the customizing. So my attempt would be to add an additional attribute in CCM where I can put some kind of flag and then to construct an authorization check based on that flag and on a authorization profile. In case the authorization check fails, the catalog item may not be put in the shopping cart. Preferabily the shopping cart icon should be disabled for such items.
Did somebody out there already think about something similar or already implemented something like that?
It would also be a good basis for offering a publicly viewable, browseable catalog for "window shopping", because I also didn't find a way until now to publish the catalog as a standalone web application without shopping cart functionality.
What do you out there think about it?
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Christophe
Thanks a bunch for your great help! I could solved the problem and am now able to have some catalog items visible but only purchaseable for authorized users. This is what I've done:
1. Create a new authorization class (SU21)
2. Create a new authorization object within this class
3. Create a new authorization field within this object
Don't forget to save and quit the SU21 transaction and then reenter it (/nsu21) because only then you'll see your changes / additions... seems to be a "refresh-bug" in SU21.
4. Create a new role (PFCG) and an authorization profile containing the new authorization object. Assign the values needed.
5. Create a new attribute in CCM and assigned it to OCI cust_field5 (because this one is of type TEXT50)
6. Implemented some code in BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER:
DATA: wa_et_sc_item_data TYPE BBP_PDS_SC_ITEM_D.
DATA: wa_catalog_content TYPE BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S.
DATA: lv_authorized       TYPE c.
DATA: lt_limtab           TYPE TABLE OF string.
DATA: wa_limtab(10)       TYPE C.
DATA: lv_message_v1       LIKE SY-MSGV1.
DATA: lv_message_v2       LIKE SY-MSGV2.
DATA: lv_message_v3       LIKE SY-MSGV3.
DATA: lv_message_v4       LIKE SY-MSGV4.
LOOP AT et_sc_item_data INTO wa_et_sc_item_data.
* Get corresponding line from transferred catalog data
READ TABLE catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content
                             WITH KEY line = wa_et_sc_item_data-number_int
                             BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
*   If field content for checking authority against is not empty...
    IF NOT wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 IS INITIAL.
*     Perform authority check
      AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT '<your auth.object here>'
                      ID     '<your auth.field here>'
                      FIELD wa_tab.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MOVE wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 TO lv_message_v1.
        MOVE wa_et_sc_item_data-ordered_prod TO lv_message_v2.
*       Eliminate leading zeroes from product number
        WHILE lv_message_v2+0(1) = '0'.
          SHIFT lv_message_v2.
        ENDWHILE.
*       Output message
        MESSAGE ID     'ZXXX'
                TYPE   'W'
                NUMBER '000'
                WITH   lv_message_v1
                       lv_message_v2.
*       Remove item from SC
        DELETE et_sc_item_data.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Interesting observation is, that when issueing the message with type = 'I' it does not condense the message text. With type = 'W' it does...
I also found out the reason, why the way via ET_SC_MESSAGES will not work: SAP <b>has hard coded</b> somewhere after the BAdI call the message id and message number... so no way to bypass this without a modification.
Kind regards,
Renaud

CCM - How to make items in one category to be sorted as expected?

Hi,
I'm searching for a way to sort items in one category in CCM, so that when end users open Catalog via SRM, click into the category, they can see some items on top of the list automatically.
I had thought the items should be sorted by Item Valuation and also tried to upload items in CCM in the order I wanted. But when I created shopping cart as an end user to connect to catalog, the order of the items are totally different. And I even could not tell how the items are sorted, it seems it's not by item valuation, not by item description, not by price, not by anything... Is it that in the catalog search engine the items are not sorted at all?
Can somebody share with me how I can realize that? Many thanks!
Best Regards,
Elly

Hi Elly,
You can use the information [here |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/3f/3166e98d564c45ba9385187d7cc3cb/content.htm]to determine the sort order of characteristics, this is all that can be effectively maintained.

Hi Gummadi,
You can create custom fields in Shopping cart uisng a BADI and can populate the information.
BBP_CUF_BADI can be used to create customer fields.

Is it possible to delete the item in sales order .

Hi
I have 5 items in the sales order ,
The delivery and billing is over .
But the one line item still shows the open status .
Is it possible to delete that item in the order ?
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
Is the Line Item that you want to Delete is not delivered or not Invoiced Yet?
If you haven't done any subsequent processing with that line item, yes you can delete that line item from the sales order. result is you will not see that Line Item number again in the sales order. Even if you look at the sales order line item table, you cannot see that LI number.
Eg:
If you have 5 line items, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50, you have NOT DONE delivery billing to any line item (Say 30), you can delete that line item without any issue by selecting DELETE ITEM option in the sales order /Item Overview tab.
Prime Requirement for Deletion: No Delivery billing should be done
If you have partially delivered and / or billed, in that case you cannot use that option.
Then you have another option to close that line.
Go to Line item & select a "Rejection Reason" there. Though you have partially delivered & invoiced, now your line item is closed. It won't appear in you MRP also.
Eg: If you have 100 quantity in the line item, and you have delivered 80. and customer don't want any deliveries again, In that case you can do this.
Best thing is create a new Rejection Reason as "Complete".
Then assign that "Complete" rejection reason, for this type of scenarios.
Best regards,
Anupa

Catalog Item Maintenance

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to be able to keep the item prices in the catalog up to date? Right now, if there are 2 contracts created for item 1 given that the 1st contract has expired so the 2nd contract was created -- the catalog will still show items with 2 prices (one for each contract). Is there a way for hte system to exclude item prices for expired contracts?
Another scenario would be for items that have been inactivated because a new contract was created, the price of the inactive item would still show in the catalog.
How to go about this? I will Reward points

HI,
I think u might have maintained 1st contract in catalog item data.
U can check this and if that is still available then it will propose 1st contract price only becasuse that force the catalog item to take that price only.
Check this in individual item for cataloge.
Or need to check vendor list also. Make the same contract inactive in VLS if that availabe there.
Award points if suitable ans.

Possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for other

Is it possible to make an item editable for certain users and read only for others?
I've been able to accomplish this by taken the select statement that I used to define an authorization scheme, placing it in the Read Only condition of the item. However, I would like to simply reference the authorization scheme to utilize caching, and to help keep things cleaner for future maintenance.
Is it possible to reference an authorization scheme in an item condition similar to the way another item can be referenced by preceding it with a colon (i.e. :P1_First_Name)?

Thank you, your suggestion worked.
It would be nice on a future release of APEX if a drop-down box existed under the Ready Only section that would allow an existing Authorization Scheme to be selected or negated when applying the Read Only attribute to a form item.
