Preferred Vendors for Product Category

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0, Classic Scenario.
My client wants a list of preferred suppliers that need to be maintained for a product category. So that whenever the requester selects the product category, he should get the list of preferred vendors for that product category.
Thanks
Ron

Hi,
How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

Search help with "Supplier List" is available in Preferred Supplier selection.

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

Goa for product category

Hi experts
I am creating a GOA with 2 items, one for product category and one for normal item, but an error occur 'No condition price exist for item 1', someone knows if it's normal?
As a know there is no conditions for product categories.
Thanks in advance
Nilson

Nilson,
I am assuming you are getting that error on Product Category line.
No, you need not provide any conditions for Product Category items.
Do you see any conditions populated for that item? Try deleting the item and adding back.
In IMG, do you have 'Activate Grouping logic for Locations in GOA?'

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?

Linking vendor to product category

We include product categories in our catalogs, but in case of special request where user has to describe the requirements, the user does not know which category to pick from the list. Is there a way to link this field (the category) to the vendor so that when the user enters the supplier in the Sources of Supply area, SRM automatically populates the product category that's assigned to the supplier.
In SRM is there a way to maintain a relationship between a supplier & a product category? If not in SRM, is such a relationship maintained anywhere in MM that can be brought over to SRM?

Multiple GL for product category in SRM 7.0

Hi! I know with SRM 7.0, we can assign multiple GLs. However, on testing it out on a Shop transaction, I still don't see the list of GLs appearing for selection. Also, I can still assign any other GL and the system will allow the shopping cart to be saved. Does anyone know what is the system behaviour regarding this multiple GL assignment in the config?
Cheers!
SF

Hello all,
This is to correct my posting on Nov 16, 2009 8:20 AM. I have done further research and testing and finally got the multiple GL working. I have to remove the authorisation for object BBP_FUNCT on activity BE_FE_HELP to disable the serach help function. This way, the user will see the allowed list of GLs instead of a search help.

Preferred Vendor

Hi All,
I am trying to set some of the Vendors as preferred Vendor for a Product category. Could you please help me how to do this? Whats the t-code for this?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards

Hello,
To be clear...
As written by Muthuraman, vendor list gives fixed vendors for product categories.
You want to have a preferred vendor for a list of product categories. So, there is no transaction to answer to your request.
One alternative, is to use vendor list and then implement BAdI i mentioned.
Regards.
Laurent.

Assign bidder to product category - what does this do?

Hi,
we are running SRM 7.0205, and using the bidding engine.
in the business partner master data, there is a "bidder data" tab and has an area to add product categories to a bidder. What does this do? If I assign product categories to a bidder, does this mean they can only respond to RFx line items with these product categories?
cheers,

Hi Aleem,
This is used when you have a Supplier Self Registration. The prospect select a product category to make easy to buyer looking for a new vendor by product category.
About your question " If I assign product categories to a bidder, does this mean they can only respond to RFx line items with these product categories?" The aswer is NO.

ShoppingCart: product category

Hi to all,
i have to make two questions about Shopping Carts.
I'm working with Extended Classic Scenario, SRM 5.0, SP9 release.
1)I've created a SH with 5 positions, all coming from same catalog, same product category. In customizing, product category is setted "sourcing never carry out". So after approval step, SH and positions are automatically transformed not into a PO(as i was expected) but into 3 POs (i can't understand why!!!). Does anyone know the reasons?
2)I have to recover many SH positions approved but not transformed in a PO causing a IPsec's crash. How can i force them in order to create missing POs?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Hi,
If You don't assign vendor to SC, 3 PO (one PO on one item in SC) will be created.
Please check in SPRO -> SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Settings -> Define objects in Backend System
Find Your Purchasing group and category ID. Check value entered in Ext. proc. Value should be 'Purchase order if item data complete'.
You also check in SPRO -> SRM -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend System for Product Category if You have a category ID and corresponding systems (source and target) attached to it.

Marcin Gajewski

Product category issue

Hi
We are upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0 system. we are facing some issues in Shopping cart
1. Product category is getting defaulted in SC for all the line items. we have not maintained default in extended attributes and in default settings in SC also we tried to remove Product category but it is mandatory field and system is not allowing us to give blank and when i have given product category at SC Default settings it populates to all line items. Our requirement is product category should be blank at SC level and user will select. How to find the solution for this
2. G/L Account is not populated based on the product category ( we have maintained at config level for product category and G/L Account but it is not populating when SC is created with that product category
Appreciate your help
Regards
Sandeep

hi
last product category or first product category is showing as default for all your sc. before you order you can change it right .
or create a dummy product category and make it default.
