Pricing at product category level

Hi Experts,
I am not able to determine pricing at product category level.These prod. categories r downloaded by standard functionality from ECC.I am getting an error "mandatory condition prod. cat. price (ZPH1) is missing". I am not able to figure out what needs to me maintained.Could anyone please help me out with this?
Regards,
Aneesh

Hello aneesh,
This is maintained at the product category level in ECC. This is used for pricing based upon the product category.
So to avoid this error either you need to create this condition type in CRM or need to download that from ECC.
You can go through the below link to get an idea of the product category pricing.

Condition Maintenance at Product Category Level

Dear Gurus,
Could you please advise how to enable/define pricing conditions/discounts at product category level? In the 'comprehensive' SAP CRM training material it says "In order to define condition types on the product category level, you have to define the relevant category hierarchies as pricing relevant".
Question is, how? I am not at all impressed with SAP training documentation. Hope to get some meaningful answer here.
Many thanks!

Hi Leon,
Once you have product category maintained for you product.
You need to create condition table for creating your product category based condition record.
IMG Path: SAP Implementation Guide>Customer Relationship Management>
Basic Functions>Pricing>Define Settings for Pricing-->Create Condition Tables
Check table 'SAP0PCTA' and create similar kind of table.
Include the table in access sequence of required condition type.
In the IMG Path:
SAP Implementation Guide>Customer Relationship Management>Master Data
>Conditions and Condition Technique>Condition Technique: Basics-->Create Maintenance Group
find condition group 'PRODPRICES' and 'PRODDISCOU'.
Select and go to second level customizing by clicking on 'Condition Maintenance Group Details' in left panel.
Create a new entry for a condition type/Condition table (Created above).
Save settings.
You have to wait for 12:00 AM night to get your pricing buffer refresh so that your setting will take effect, else you need to restart you IPC (Consult Basis Admin).

Promotion planning level change from product to product category.

Hi
About the promotion planning level, currently we use product level which means we adds individual products and assign money to there.
But we are thinkin of changing this to product category level planning.
Could anyone please teach me some good references or links or how to do it in step by step?
It seems we need to do a lot of work to change the level of planning, but hopefully it might be not too difficult?
If you know the solution, could you point me some directions?
Thanks.

Looking at all that code, I can suggest one way of debugging the issue(Its a bit hard to guess what went in this case,particularly when the problem could be at so many places).
1. Run your PLSQL as an anonymous block and check if the generated XML structure is what you expect.
2. Check Firebug Console (if you have it) if an ajax request is send when the item is changed.
3. Print out the return XML as a string on the screen so that you can make sure it what you wanted(use alert function or append to some page element)
4. Now try your XML parser JS section starting with the obtained XML as a static variable, trying printing out the parsed out values at different stages
5. Setting the page items shouldn't be much of a trouble if everything else worked fine.
Some Observations: If you are on Apex 4.0 wouldn't a Dynamic Action save you all this trouble (Two SetValue processes). Even otherwise you seem to be fetching two id's from the Ondemand process..Can't you just concatenate them with some separator and send that as the result stream(htp.p), handling them in JS would be simple using the split function. If the data is more complex you could return it as a JSON string and parse it with fewer lines of code.
Found a problem with the code :
get.add('PRODUCT_ID',pValue)Do you have a page item by that name(PRODUCT_ID) ? else change it to
get.add('P4_PRODUCT_ID',pValue)and change the following in ur PLSQL process code
PRODUCT_ID = TO_NUMBER (v ('PRODUCT_ID'));to
PRODUCT_ID = TO_NUMBER (v ('P4_PRODUCT_ID'));But as I said earlier, Debugging it step by step might be easier.

Reporting on Product Category

Hi,
I have the following requirement and need inputs what would be best way to do it.
I am extracting CRM data(Activities, Opportunities) at a certain Product category level (0CRM_PRHIER), where as data coming from R/3 (Sales) comes at material level (0MATERIAL). 0MATERIAL has PRODH1,PRODH2...PRODH10 as navigational attributes. CRM data created at certain product category level should have one of PRODH1, PRODH2 to PRODH10 values. In the final report end user wants to use Prod category level and calmonth as variables in the selection, in order to show the result data how can I map sales data with that of CRM data or is there any effective way to do it (May be at reporting).
Data from CRM will be as follows:
Opportunity     Calmonth      Prod.Category     Value
1001               01/2008        P101                   1000

2345               01/2008         Q101113               3
R/3 data as follows:
Material        P1    P2   P3    P4      P5       P6           P7             P8 P9 P10 Calmonth   Qty     Value

When user inputs 01/2008 and P101 as selection ,report should show following
P101     01/2008     1000     1    2000
When user inputs 01/208 and Q101113 as selection,report should show following
Q101113   01/2008   0        3    2500
When user inputs 01/2008 and P10 as selection, report should show following
P10    01/2008      0          0     3000
Many thanks for your inputs.

I would like to know how we can report using product category only in the selection to achive the results. You can advise me if there are any better procedure to consolidate data in the data modeling or may be at the reporting.
Please note when user inputs a particular product category, we should search for all the relevant materials product category belongs to for the sales data and sum up all the key figure information and show in the report. Important point here is how we consolidate data coming from CRM which has product category information with that R/3 data where we have material info which has product category (PH1 to PH10) as attributes.

Opportunity & Product category

Hi experts,
I will download all materials into CRM and its hierarchies levels (5) from SAP ECC.
1) Is it possible to create an opportunity and inform only Product category (level 3) not the Product in the tab "Products" ?
Because it is not necessary to inform the Product at the level 5.
From CRM point of view, it is only necessary level 3 to have registered as Product.
2) Should I have to create as Product in CRM new material codes representing hierarchy level 3 ?
Regards
ahm

Hi Ahm
Unfortunately it is not possible to assign a product hierarchy to the opportunity directly, so you need to find a workaround.
The solution here is to work with dummy products assigned to level 3 of the hierarchy. These can be either CRM-only products (as they are used in CRM-only processes) or ECC-created products, depending on how you like it.

Product hierarchy level in TPM Pricing condition records

Hi all,
we're setting up TPM scenarios in CRM7.0.
A question arosen about the level of the product hierarchy we need to create pricing records.
We have a 5 level product hierarchy structure and we're using the CRM feature to spread the product category at the lates level while creating trade promotion. In example if the user put in the product category tab a level 1 category the system spread down to the 10 level 5 underneath.
My question is: shall i generate pricing records at that level (lev5) or can i create the pricing records at higher level and keep the campaign dtermination one at the lowest?
Appreciate any reply
Regards

Hi Carmine,
It's not mandatory to create conditions at the lowest level, but my recommendation is to keep a match between the level you allow users to plan their promotion and the level of the condition records.
However depending on the scenarios, it may be valid to do otherwise. Some examples:
- A user assign a Level1 Category, and it's exploded into 5 lower categories. Then he creates a trade spend exception for 1 of the categories, the conditions should have (at least) the same level in order to create this exception.
- A user assign a Level1 Category, and it's exploded into 5 lower categories. The user wants to create only 1 condition at a higher level, then yes it can make sense to have condition with the higher level.
An option to allows both would be to have different condition generation type (one for High Level planning and one for lower level).
Some additional thoughts:
The feature that "explode" the high level category into lower categories, was developed for customers that wanted to restrict their users in planning at a lower level. It also helps to ensure a KAM does not create a condition for a whole Brand, but only to the level he's allowed.
The system is build to manage a high number of conditions.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

Hello,
We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
add a vendor.
How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?

Lina

Regarding Line Item Selection and product category

Hi Experts,
We are having a requirement in Line Item Selection in Oppurtunity.The requirement is that we need to display only the product categories belonging to that particular company(for eg Product Categories belonging to Company X) by restricting the display of product IDs.Please provide me some pointers on this as this is a high priority requirement.
Requirement:Line item selection of an opportunity will be at a 'X' category from the product hierarchy level.

Hi Amar,
You have to retrieve all you rproduct ids based on your criteria before the execution of the below step in your method.
result = qs->get_query_result( ).
Once you have all your product Id's then default your search criteria with your product id's using the below code.
ls_selection-attr_name = 'PRODUCT_ID'.
      ls_selection-sign = 'I'.
      ls_selection-option = 'EQ'.
      LOOP AT it_product INTO v_productid WHERE comt_product_id CP ls_search_criteria-low.
        CLEAR ls_selection-low.
        ls_selection-low = v_productid.
        CALL METHOD qs->add_selection_param
          EXPORTING
            iv_attr_name = ls_selection-attr_name
            iv_sign      = ls_selection-sign
            iv_option    = ls_selection-option
            iv_low       = ls_selection-low.
        CLEAR: v_productid,wa_result.
      ENDLOOP.
this code should be included in your event handler before calling get_query_result( ).
Hope this helps.

Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
1) Enter A comapny Code
2) Enter a unit of measure
3) Plant for follow-on document missing
4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
5) Error in account assignment for item 1
6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
7) Not possible to calculate tax
8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
Kindly advice and do the needful.

Hi Muthu,
I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
Bu the new problem raised - a warning message - No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
Can any one please advice.

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.

Product category favorites list

SRM SERVER 550 Level 14.
Hello all,
The users want their product favorites list to have the last 15 categories.
I found out that by manually adding entries to BBP_CATEGORY_FAV I can increase the number of entries shown in the drop down list for product categories.
There's also an option for product category for the users in their own settings.
My question is is there an option for mass changing this for approximately 300 user?
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hi Rob,
There are few ways to achieve this.
all data element like Unit of measure,product category ,currency are populated using favourite function module.
There are two BADI,Read documentation of these two BADI's
BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT
BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY
In these BADI,you have a table ET_CATEGORY_FAVOURITES
Populate these tables with favorite list and pass EV_X_FAV_PROCESSED as X.
You will get your favourite list in F4 Help.
This is applicable to all data elements.
To maintain this kind of list you have to pupulate the User favourite list in some table and based on that you have to plan pupulation on internal table.
Another simple way to do that ,which I have not tested and it require SAP core code modification.
You can see in SE38 transaction In include ,LBBP_HELP_ATTRTOP,there is a data declaration and based on this all data element like...product,UOM,Currency etc creats 5 favorite list...
So increase this number to 15 this will solve issue...
This may require access key generation and further maintaience issues while upgrade..
number of favourites per data element
CONSTANTS: GC_MAX_FAVOURITES TYPE I VALUE 5.

Product Category Hierarchy - SRM

I have doubts on Product Category hierarchy....
1) As far as i understand whenever we replicate the material from Backend R/3 there is a product hiearachy created and assigned automatically. However, we also have the option of creating local hiearachies.
So, what i did was for the same product category i assigned two hierarchies. One the standard R3MATCLASS and other which i created manually in SRM. Then i assigned the two hierarchies while creating the material manually in SRM. However, i am not able to get the significance of this? Why has SAP provided this provision of having multiple hieararchies?
2) I read from the help portal in SAP that Product Hierarchy helps in determining the source of supply. I am not able to understand how that is possible. I have searched for documentation all around but could not find any?
3) In one of the forums i saw that one consultant activated the product hiearachy, then to his surprise the automatic sourcing configuration which he had done has not worked due to activation of hierarchies
Has anyone worked indepth in this field. Any inputs is greatly welcome as i am doing some indepth work on this
Thank You

Hi
1)
2) Most of the time, We create multiple hierarchy levels in case of Extended Classic Scenario (ECS).
3) Might be due to some bug (some OSS note is missing here).
