Product Category assigned to a GL Account

Hi SAP Gurus
Does anybody know where a Product category is assigned to a GL account?
Or any tables I could visualize this?
Any help is welcome. Thanks
Roger

Hi,
Is it Product Category or a Characterstic in COPA which you intend to assign or is it Product Category in CFM (you can look @ SAPLTPM_TRG_VIEW).

Product category creation and g/l account assignment updation

Hi all,
I have created new product categories and updated g/l account assignment table for the same. The process i have followed is as follows: -
1. created material groups in R/3 (transport request moved from DEV to QA)
2. replicated the same in EBP through R3AS t-code for DNL_CUST_PROD1 object
3. updated product categories, account assignment category and g/l account assignment table in EBP customization through SPRO(transport request moved from DEV to QA)
After these steps, when i tried creating shopping cart in EBP QA and entered newly created product category, assigned G/L account is appearing in cost assignment tab successfully. But if older product category is selected, assigned G/L account is not popping up and error message " No G/L account entered, enter G/L account" is generated.
When i checked BBP_DET_ACCOUNT table, all entries including older as well as newly created product categories exist along with assigned G/L accounts.
Please if anybody can suggest a way out or reason for the same.
Moreover please let me know whether I am following correct method to add product categories to existing list.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Are you sure you have the good log_sys in your table ?
In other words logical system in DEV = logical system in QA ?
Be careful to not copy product category guid from DEV to QA !
The product category guid (unique identifier) is system client dependant...
A manual assignment in QA is necessary.
Kind regards,
Yann

Help with product category assignment please

Hi experts,
I need to do a modificacion in my R3 downloaded products to CRM. Because a
product catalog fulfitment, I need to modify the assigned product hierarchy
in CRM but I don't know where can I do it this mapping between an R3 product
hierarchy and CRM product hierarchy.
I explain, if product A belongs in R3 to product category A, I need to modify
this assignment in CRM, for exmaple, product A in CRM will belong to product category
B.
Modifications/creations on product master are only downloaded to CRM, never upload
from CRM to R3.
Any help in this issue please? Is possible to get a behaviour like this?
Thanks to all.
Javier

Hi Javier,
You can always do a RFC data upload of the changed product from CRM to R/3. I guess you do know how to trigger a OLTP data transfer in product master maintenance transaction COMMPR01.
Thanks,

Table where product category assigned to supplier is stored in SRM

Hi,
We are on SRM 7.0.
We have replicated material groups from ECC as product categories in SRM and vendor master also into SRM. Now I log into SRM portal as strategic purchaser and go to the following tab.
Strategic Purchasing->Business Partner-> Here I choose an existing supplier, open it up ...go to the Bidder data tab->Categories. Under categories I do an F4 help and choose one of the available product categories and save the entry.
Where is this information about supplier and product category combination stored in SRM. Which tables?
Request you to shed some light on this.
Regards,
Nikhil

HI
there is no relation like that.
some customer expects this facility
Product category vs supplier
prod category - Building equipments - DLF
- telecoM - HUTCH
Try bbpfrg tables.

GL Account/Product category mapping not working in transported client

We have implemented SRM 5 and an Ecc 6.0 backend.
We have transported the GL Account /Product category mapping config from the DEV client to the Quality client. In the quality client we run BDLS to set the correct backend system for the GL account/product category mapping.
When we create a shopping cart, GL accounts are not determined. We have noticed that in table BBP_DET_ACCOUNT, the backend system is still pointing to the DEV client backend system not the quality client backend system. Why is this?
Do we have to always manually reset this config in every client that we transport this table if we have new or changed entries?

Product category not available error in SAP CRM 7.0

hi Gurus,
while i try creating opportunity transaction, there under product tab when i enter product category(as we maintian product category and not product) and pass on other data and finally press enter ..i get error "product category "3lAA" not available" same for other category. even when i try F4 help only very few categories it shows, not all.
but then i went back and checked for category and hierarchy in CRM system ..it is showing all there and it is downloaded form R/3 system.
Can you please tell me what all places i can check..? or what is missing ?
Thanks,
gaurav

Hi,
I believe all the categories which you are viewing currently in the pop up are from a single hierarchy ( Most probably R3PRODHIER). And the categories which you are looking for is probably from a different hierarchy ( R3MATCLAS, R3PRODSTYP etc.).
By standard, for sales applications only R3PRODHIER is supported. Please have a look at the IMG path Cross-Application Component->SAP Product-> Product Category->Assign Category Hierarchy to Applications, where you can verify this. If you are so particular about using categories from a different hierarchy you might need to change this setting - I am not sure about other implications that can cause if you change that like downloading from R/3 etc.

Product Category conflict for Quota Planning in Pipeline Performance

Hello Experts,
When I select a product to maintain sales volume by product in quota planning I am getting an error "Product XXXX is not assigned to sales product hierarchy R3PRODHIER"
The values maintained in Hierarchy assingment for applications are
IMG>CAC>Product>product category>Assign Hierarchy to applications
For Sales---> R3PRODHIER
purchasing-->R3MATCLASS
pRODUCT---> R3PRODSTYP
all the products are created under r3prodstyp hierarchy and when i change the hierarchy for sales from r3prodhier to r3prodstyp system is allowing me to maintain sales volumes for that product.
I could able to create all transactions in web ui with the same standard settings (sales -->r3prodhier)
Any solution???
thanks in advance,
Srinvas

Hi Shanthala,
As I mentioned all the products are created under categories that are created under r3prodstyp hierarchy only.
The hierarchy assigned to sales application is r3prodhier which is causing problem for searching the products in PPM.
If i enter the product id manually, as it is not created under r3prodhier, it is throwing the error " the xxx product is not assinged to the hierarchy r3prodhier"
When we create any sales transaction in web Ui , system is not throwing any hierarchy error.
why it is for PPM??
When I debug the respective Function module, the code is maintained to fetch the hierarchy assigned to the sales application.
I am just wondering why this has been made mandatory in PPM product search option in quota maintenance.
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas

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.

SRM7.0 Multiple G/L account assignment for a product category

Hi All,
In SRM7.0 , it is possible to maintain multiple G/L accounts for a prodict category and account assignment combination. For example , for a product Category XX and account assignment CC , we can maintain more than one G/L account with one G/L as default. While creating the Shopping Cart , the G/L account is defaulted. However when we do F4 search on the G/L , then system is bringing all the G/L accounts from the backend through the search help from ECC. In that case what is the use of maintaining multiple G/L accounts in the SRM configuration? Is there any other config that is reqd? We thought system would restrict to those G/L account that are maintained in the config.
Thanks
Sukumar

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?

Shawn O'Connor

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.

Teja

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.

Error while posting:There is no item category assigned to account 2001/KCOA

Iam trying to post a purchase invoice posting to F-43 But getting error as:
There is no item category assigned to account 2001/KCOA
Diagnosis
    The online document splitting is active in your system. Here, each
    document is assigned to a accounting transaction variant and each
    document row to an item category.
    You determine for each business transaction variant which item
    categories can or must be posted here.
    The following error occurred for the document you entered:
    No item category could be determined for account 2001 in chart of
    accounts KCOA.
Could You Please let me know How to Assign Item catagory for that particular account (2001-Inv raw material A/C)????\
Thx,
Umesh

Hi,
Go to the path:
SPRO> Financial Accounting (New) > Geenral Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting > Execute
When you get a pop-up, enter the relevant Chart of Accounts
Click on New Entries and enter the G/L Account 2001 (i assume its a recon account for vendor).
Select the Item category 03000 Vendor and save.
Hope that helps.
