Product Category and GL account mapping

Hi
We are using SRM 4.0 with ECS scenario.
Would like to know, whether the Product Category and GL account mapping we do in SPRO is restricts the user to use the same GL account mapped against the product category or it is just a defalut and can it be changed while making PO or SC.
Thanks

Hi
This is standard SAP functionality.
The same GL account mapped against the product category, is just a default and it can be changed while making PO or SC. This is not hardcode as such. We emphasize here that we should follow the same GL account and Material Group combination as determined in R/3, the same combination GL and Product caategory needs to be made in SRM as well. (Since finally the PO will get created in r/3, where all the same validation will take place, at the creation of PO from SRM).
 The table which holds the data for
"Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Cat" is BBP_DET_ACCOUNT and it holds data in similar manner.
1. Either using the SPRO path
SPRO-> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Prod Cat and A/C Assignment Categories
2. Or using SM30 transaction for the table - BBP_DET_ACCOUNT table
3. Use BADI - BP_DETERMINE_ACCT -> To change GL accordingly as per your logic.
The SRM G/L account is working on a linkage between product category and account category (cost center, project, asset...) that give you the default G/L account. If this very simple equation does not fit your requirement, you can use badi BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT to implement your own equation.
Hope this will definitely help. Do let me know.

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

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.

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?

Configuring product category and inventory product category set id

Hi,
In DAC we are shown the inventory and product category set id as $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID ..... $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID ...... $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9. I have done setups previously where the $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID has been my first category and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 has been my 10th category.
Is this the correct way to setup the 10 out of the box supported product category?
A colleague of mine told me that the $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID is obsolete from 7.9.5 . If that is the case then where do we configure the 10th category?
Kindly advise.

Swakshar Kundu.

could someone kindly respond to this pl?

Product ID and Material Number mapping

Hi All,
I would like to request for your help on this.
How can I be able to find the material number in R/3 using the product ID in CRM?
Currently, I am using the description of the Product to search in R/3 but that is not always the case.
Is there a mapping in CRM to find the corresponding material number in R/3?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards.

Hello,
material Number in R/3 should be equal to Product ID in CRM i.e
COMM_PRODUCT-PRODUCT_ID = MARA-MATNR (Table_Name-Field_Name)
Hope this helps!

Shanthala Kudva.

GL account based on the 'commodity mobde' (product category)

The requirement is
System shall default the GL Account with sequence number u201801u2019 when there are multiple GL Accounts mapped to a Product Category and the mapping table needs to have u2018Sequence numberu2019 added to ensure that in case of u2018Many-to-Oneu2019 the default proposed GL Account can be selected.
           Requester will be allowed to change the u201CGL Accountu2019 to a different value.
           The system will show the allowed u2018GL Accountsu2019 that are mapped to this product Category when performing the search ( Narrow down only to allowed values ).

Hi,
Please check the BADI BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT.

Change Product Category dynamically as per account assignment in SRM 7.0

Hello,
We have recently upgraded our systems to SRM 7.0. I have a requirement where I need to change the product category of an item in shopping cart everytime the user changes the account assignment category from Cost centre to Network and visa-versa.
The issue is that we dont have product category in the accounting view of the shopping cart. It is available in the Item data component in the detail tab.
What I need to know is how can we change the value of a field (Product category) which is located on a different webdynpro component based on the value of some other field(account assignment category) in the current dynpro.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,
If you are on SRM 7.0 then in IMG
extension and field control ->configure field control->configure control for fields of substructre
under defult meta data -
add structres related to bus type 2121 like ( account assignment category , account distribution indicator, cc description, g/l description fields etc....)
this will resolve the problem

Product category account assignment relation

Hi Experts,
I have deleted a relation between a product cat 1234311 with WBS in the spro configuration. when i am trying to create a SC with the same product cat 1234311 with WBS element. system is not giving any error message and it allowing me to create a SC in the system.
Could you some suggest me on this. our requiremnt is that for the product cat 1234311 users should not be able to use WBS while creating a SC.
Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Please use BADI - BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to validate the required fields and throw error messages in case particular account assignment category is used with regards to a concerned product category.
The product category and account assignment combination is maintained to pick the account assignment details by default if a particular product category is used.
The system do not throw any error messages until and unless the account assignment details used are valid.
Hope this clarifies you and helps in resolving your issue.

Query on BE, Tcode and GL accounts

Hi Friends
1. surrogate bidding and proxy bidding: Are these performed by both BE and LAC.Is proxy bidding done by LAC only.
2.Tcode for GUI of CCM and SUS
3.Which version of srm supports multiple g/l accounts
Regards
Simha

Hi,
For bidding process ( proxi bidding ) go through the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/61/c3833cfa3dbc2ce10000000a114027/frameset.htm
2.Tcode for GUI of CCM and SUS
CCM and SUS are separate components in SRM. there is no transaction codes
3.Which version of srm supports multiple g/l accounts
I dont think SRM supports multiple GL accounts.
depending upon the product category and account assignment category system will pick the GL accounts.
SPRO> SRM> SRM server --> cross application basic settings --> account assignment --> define gl accounts for prod.category and a/c assignment category..

How Product category contract replicate from SRM to ECC?

HI, dear experts:
     I work with SRM 7.0.   I have reliazed that contract with product ID replicated to ECC , it is a standar way.   But the contract without Product ID ,only product category and description    cann't be replicated to ECC.    why?   how I do ?
    Please tell me ,thanks very much.
Jesse.

Hi, Muthu
I made e some change in ECC . and the error info is "Combination item category W /account assignment category U not defined" in BD87 .
     item category 'W' is material group in ECC.
how will i do ?
   thank you
Hi, Muthu
     I made the setting in ECC to permit 'Combination item category W /account assignment category U', and the contract can reach the ECC.    in ECC, the contract item category is 'W' (material group).      actually, in ECC ,material group contract can be created wihtout 'W'.    the MM consultant also don't except 'W' as item category, should as empty.   Will I do some change in SRM . how to do ?
thank you again
Hi, Muthu
     By testing, I found the situation:
    when creating contract, in item, if I select Item Category as 'Product Category' , then I can't input 'Product ID' ,'Unit', 'Price', etc.   I can only input main info such as 'Target Quantity' 'Target Value' etc.
     when the contract is generated in ECC.     the item category is 'W' , Target Quantity is empty, Price is empty, the Target value that is input in SRM    is disapeared,   in other words, this kind of contract don't have price (value) .
      is it normal?
      my business expect it is like with product ID. can this be realized?
detail 'W' can be known from url:

Product category in srm should over write the punch-out catalog category

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement to overwrite the product category which is coming from the punch-out catalog with the SRM product category.
Exactly saying i am looking for a mapping program.
Because the product category schema in Punch-out Catalog is different from the product category schema in SRM.
Is there any BADI that is available to help and Can anybody has the experience in doing so....??
with regards,
mahesh

Hi Pierre,
Actucally i am using NIGP as the Schema, Can you explain me how we can do with more details how to configure the settings to map the exteranal product category with the internal product category and with out going to BADI.
IMG> SRM> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content management --> Mapping for schema.
You set your schema for product category (UNSPSC, ..) and then define the mapping for a schema .
Thanks for your response,
Mahesh

Transfer product category from catalog to SRM with 2 BE systems

Hello experts,
We are having an issue when transfering products from the SRM-MDM Catalog though OCI, since we have an SRM extended classic scenario connected to 2 backend systems.
When the information is downloaded to SRM, the product category is changed and a "default" is assigned.
SAP has confirmed this issue happens because there are 2 entries in table COMM_CATEGORY for this value (even though they are clearly differentiated by backend system).
In our case, let's say Product Category "OS" (Office Supplies) exists in both backend systems, and it seems the system only searches for "OS" instead of doing a link to the logical system somehow.
How can I implement BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in order for the system to use the right Product Category? Should I map one the backend system in one of the custom fields or is ir possible to somehow get the backend system in some other way?
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto,
You should use the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi to also define the relevent category GUID during transfer, in this way you can make the category unique and the default will not be selected.
Regards,
Jason

Product Category Hierarchy

Dear All,
i'm playing with Product Category Hierarchy in SRM 5.0. The Scenario i use is Extended Classic and in backend system we do not want to manage any Category Hierarchy. I created my SRM own Hierarchy starting from Product Category imported from back-end system. I have imported product category at first level and created 'stand alone' product category at subordinate levels. Unfortunatly what i want to have is the last level of my 'stand alone' Hierarchy related with back-end Product Category and not the root. I'd like to know if in your opinion we need to use the related Badi to re-map 'Stand alone' catagory to back-end's catagory or is possible to manage this mapping without the badi.
Award point for helpful answer.
Marco

Hi,
Did u find the solution?
I have similar requirement. I want to assign the backend pdt category to pdt category created locally in SRM.How can this be done?
Scenario -> Extended classic in SRM 5.0
1) Is it posible to do the assignment during the intial load? How abt using BBP_PRODCAT_HIER?
2) Is it posible to assign the already replicated pdt. categories to locally created pdt. category in SRM?
Please provide inputs on these...
Thanks,
