Product categories for registration

Dear all,
We are going live with the Supplier registered next week. At standard, the 'self registration form' displays the categories short description under the question: "Which Product Categories can you Deliver?"
Does anyone know how to change it and display the long description in addition or instead?
Best Regards,
Yaron

Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for your reply.

Multiple Local Product Categories for One ECC Material Group

Hello experts,
I have a question regarding Product Categories. I am using an Extended Classic Scenario and so, I retrieve Material Groups from the backend. Nevertheless, in order to have a more accurate split than ECC Material Groups in SRM, I would like to create local Product Categories which point on the same ECC Material Group. Eg. :
ECC Material Group
- SRM Product Category 1
- SRM Product Category 2
I saw that I can create this kind of structure in COMM_HIERARCHY and I updated it in the PPOMA_BBP (I set * for backend and for SRM).
Nevertheless, when I create a SC, I can not find the local Product Categories I created?
Do you know how I could process?
Thanks for your help
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Looks like you got confused in understanding the concept.
You can not create a Local product category (material group) from a back end product category.
You can have both backend R/3 material groups and local product categoris (material groups) parallelly.
That means in COMM_HIERARCHY for R3MATCLASS hierarchy you have two nodes created under that, one for backend material groups and the other for local material groups.
In stand alone scenario or de-coupled scenario you can use local product categories and not in Extended classic and Classic scenarios.
For accessing a local product category you should have a local P.Org, local P.Group and the users should be assigned to these local P.Orgs or P.groups.
If you have such a setting in your org. structure then you can create S.Cs for local Product categories and local materials.
Hope this makes you more clear in understanding the issue.
Clarifications are welcome.

I am getting an error message while replicating the product categories

Hi SRM Gurus,
We are presently using SRM 4.0 stand-alone scenario. My client want certain product categories to go for ECS scenario. In the process of journey of configuration. I am stuck with the Product category replication. And I am getting an error message 'Import of material groups into hierarchy HIERARCHY' in the Inbound queue of SRM.
We have one Hierarchy for local product categories. Do I need to create new Hierarchy for the R/3 Product categories?
Can you please give me some pointers regarding this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Ram

Hi Sridhar,
I did all the confihuration steps for CRM middleware set up. I am replicating only Product categories through T.Code R3AS. When I check in the inbox of SRM through SMQ2, I am getting the error message Import of materail group into hierarchy HIERARCHY. Because we are already using the local product categories for stand-alone scenario. So do i need to create one more hierarchy for the product categories coming from R/3. Or else do I need to configure some settings for that.
Can you please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Upload Product Category for Purchasing Group

Hi,
I have 30000 product categories for 10 Purchasing groups.
Each Purchasing group is linked to about 10000 product categories.
How do I upload this relationship to the SRM org. structure (Purchasing Group --> Responsibility) through (standard SRM) program?
With regards,

Hi,
There is not std program to upload this relationship.You need to maintain tis relationship manually in transcn PPOMA_BBP under the responsibility tab..

Registration of Suppliers to New Product Categories

Hi,
As we have seen, during registration of new suppliers, system offers a list of product categories to select. System sends questionnaires related to the selected product categories, to prospective supplier's email ID. The supplier submits answers to these question. The buyer will scrutinize the details, registers him as supplier and also maintains supplier list for the product categories which he has requested.
Now the supplier is interested in some more product categories. So he has to select some more product categories. The system should send him a questionnaires for those product category. The buyer will scrutinize the answers submitted by the supplier and maintains supplier list for those product categories.
How to map this scenario in standard SAP?
Ganapathi

Hi Ganapathi
Nikhil is correct.
i assume that supplier want to register some more product category which is not in the system . sorry if i understood wrong.
or it is just understanding between buyer and supplier.
There is no fixed rule that whatever supplier register the product category and he will receive the PO or contract.
It is understanding between Buyer and Supplier what type of product category supplier expert to do service for the purchase organisation.
Whatever product category is existed in the ROS system the same only can be registered by the Supplier.
Because purchase organisation uses only some product category which they wants for their organisation.
For ex
step 1:-BREAKS product category - TVS registerd in the ROS system and become supplier
step 2:- again TVS supplier want to add WHEELS product category ? and expects a questionaire for WHEELS from the Purchase organisation?

Middleware Settings for Product Categories

Hi,
We are using the CRM middleware to replicate the Product Categories.
In our case the R/3 backend Mat Groups are defined using the two fields.
1. Matl grp descr.
2. mat.grp desc. 2
The first one is a general one and the second field is more imporatant for the users in the search.
But from middleware initial downloads we are only getting the first Description field.
could some one walk me thru the steps to bring in the Second Mat grp desc. also.
Regards
Manoj A.

Hi Manoj,
This customizing option only lets you which description (short or long) to use in SRM.
The concatenation of both is not possible via the standard.
What you could try is to change the mapping module assigned to object DNL_CUST_PROD1 (COM_PRODUCT_PRDCT_PROD1_SAVE) by a specific one, where you can merge both descriptions.
It is a rather simple function module that you could modify (see FORM t023t).

System Fail Error for Product categories download

Hi All,
I am workin on SRM 4.0.We have started the initial Load for product categories but unable to load the material groups from the backend as prod catgories in SRM.
When I activate the Queue in SMQ2,it shows the status "System Fail" with the message " Hierarchy(with some ID) does not exist ".What could be the reason for the unsuccesful download?Please help.
Regards,
Disha D.

Hello Disha,
As Bertrand (and Vadim) said, you have to maintain this customizing point...
But if you read the linked documentation, it says that the system should assign the hierarchy automatically:
"When system settings for materials and services are replicated from the ERP system ,the relevant hierarchy is assigned to the corresponding application automatically. In this case, the assignment need not and should not be changed.
If you are not going to replicate data from the ERP system you must have created the hierarchy you want to assign to the application."
Maybe you first need to create a root hierarchy, assign it to purchasing area, and then the replication will add a "R3MATCLASS" sub node in your hierarchy.
Make few tests as described and tell us.

ADG for Product Categories

Hi,
Would someone be able to tell me what is the process to create ADG for product categories so that we dont have to manually select the accounts in PO and Supplier Invoices.
Is the same possible for Sales products as well?
Thanks
Puru

Hi Puru,
Adding to the above if you
Once you maintain the account determination group for product categories in the fine-tune activity "Edit default account determination group for product categories'
You need to Go to fine tune activity 'Chart of Accounts,Financial reporting structure, account determination'.
IF the account group maintained is for 'SERVICE'
then select Sub-ledger 'COST' then maintain the account determination group and corresponding General Ledger account to it.
If the account group is 'MATERIAL' then you need to go to Subledger 'INVENTORIES' and add account group and GL account for it.
Thanks

ABAP report for Active Product Categories by Vendor

Hi,
I have been trying to write an ABAP report in SRM to list all vendors attached to active product categories. My problem is identifying the active product categories. Can anyone help me identify these?
Regards,
Conor

Some alternative is in KSB1 (Cost center line item report) - you can change the layout and include offsetting account and its text.
But, in vendor line item report, if you want vendor number, vendor number, GL account number (offsetting) account and its text, then you should go with abap development.
Have a look at the following note, if really serves your purpose.
Note 1504612 - Line items: Offsetting account info (BAdI FI_ITEMS_CH_DATA)

Report to pull multiple Product Categories/Organizational Units per project

Hi Experts,
We are facing the following issue.
We have created a Project and have associated multiple Product Category & Organization to this project, many to One relationship. This we have achieved through customization. When we are pulling report for this project through Reports-> Project Summary Extract. Itu2019s giving us only one Product Category & one Org Unit per Project. The business wants us to pull all the Org Units & the Product categories associated with the Project, when we are displaying the report. This org units & product categories will be shown in Org Unit & Product category columns respectively separated by commas.
Looking forward for your help.
Thanks,
Ritik

Hi Vikram,
We have not created any custom fields neither for the Product Categories nor for the Org Unit/Business Unit(T1.BUSINESS_UNIT_OBJECT_NAME). These two fields are already there in the Result fields for the report Project Summary Extract . I am just looking for some way to pull all the Product categories & Business Units associated with the project in the Product Categories column & in Business Unit column respectively separated by comma or show it as in example 2 given below(in multi rows).
e.g. 1:
Project:     Product Categories:
PROJ1   -> PC1,PC2,PC3
Or
e.g. 2:
Project:      Product Categories:
PROJ1        ->                           PC1
PROJ1     ->                    PC2
PROJ1     ->                             PC3
I have already copied the existing query & modified it to achieve the above, but still this is not working. Currently i am querying FCI_MAS_INTERNAL_CAT for Product Categories & FCI_PRO_PROJECTS for projects.
Can you please provide me any sample query to achieve this functionality. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Cannot see list of Product Categories in Shopping Cart entry screen

Hi All,
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
Although I appear to have sucessfully replicated the backend R3 Mat Groups into SRM Product Categories, as I can see them in the hierachy screen, i.e. Hierachy ID R3MATCLASS in trans code COMM_HIERARCHY, they are not appearing in my Shopping Cart entry screen Product Categories drop down.
I have looked in Org structure maintanance and can see two things that may be the root causes:
(a) In 'Exended Attributes', if I select the Source System, I do not get the option to list the product categories in the match code box
(b). In the 'check' screem, the system is displaying the message 'Attribute ITS_DEST not yet defined'
Any feedback on how I can pull in the groups during cart entry would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Kathirvel,
I am not sure if this workaround is correct, but rather than using trans code BDLS as you suggested, I defined the logical system 'ABC' . This logical system was the assigned as a target system in 'Assignment of Logical Systems' under the product category customisation (table COMV_LOGSYS_MAP)
These changes subsequently allowed the drop down on the Org structure when selecting a Product Category in extended attributes, therefore making the list available in the web front end.
The IMG help text for COMV_LOGSYS_MAP says:
Case 1
You have created the categories in your test system. They therefore have the logical system <SYSTEM_TEST>. So that the categories can also be changed once they have been transported into the production system, the categories must have the logical system <SYSTEM_PROD> in the target system.
Maintain the following entry:
Source <SYSTEM_TEST>
Target <SYSTEM_PROD>
The logical system of the categories will be changed from <SYSTEM_TEST> to <SYSTEM_PROD>.
This appears to have resolved the issue. I would be interested to hear what you think,
Many thanks , Steve,
