Product category consistency

Hi all,
we have SRM6.0 implemented and it's integrated with a non-Sap system. The product and product category master data are sent from this non-Sap system to SRM using PI. We're facing the following situation:
Item 162999 was originaly created with product category MMRO_ELEC. Contract 4200000048 was created for this item.
Later in the process, item 162999 was re-categorized in the non-Sap system and its product category was changed from MMRO_ELEC to MMRO_WELD. The item in SRM was successfuly updated. However, contract 4200000048 was impacted and it's not possible to do any change in it, because the system triggers the error message "Product does not belong to product category MMRO_ELEC".
I'd like to know if there's a way to update the documents in SRM or if any other solution is possible.
Regards,
Simil

Error when creating service product category in Shopping cart

Hi ,
When I am creating a shopping cart for service type product category I am getting an error message
" Item 1 is created as service item. Please change it to goods".
Do I need to do some settings to enable shopping for service type?

Hi,
First you need to publish your service which you would get from the dropdown fro utilities->setting->its->publish.
Also check in transaction SICF whether your serivce is actiavted- else activate the same. you can find your serivice under the following path

Problem with product category

Hello,
I have replicated my product category for my new backend but i have a problem.
When i'm logged on germand it is OK but in english I have none and in french juste a few.
I saw that I have the translation but I don't understand why they don't appear when i create my schopping cart.
can you help me?
thanks

Hi Eileen,
You don't have filled description for English and French language.
Please go to transaction COMM_HIERARCHY and double click in product categories -
(R3MATCLASS). Then go to backend R3MATCLASS node and click on category.
On bottom in table You will see language. Add proper description for proper language code.

Issue in product category replication from R/3 to SRM

Mehul G Shah: BACKGROUND:
We are in the process of replicating Material Group from R/3 to SRM
using transaction R3AR2 & R3AR4. Our Pre-Production server got
refreshed recently & this has caused all EBM data inclucing Logical
System & Destination being overwritten with EBP data.
We have maintained middleware paramaters, viz., CRMCONSUM, CRMRFCPAR,
CRMPAROLTP & also TBE11.
We have also maintained sites in CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit
using SMWP.
We have also tried after deleting entries in tables CRMPRLS (R/3) &
CRMMLSGUID (EBM) as suggested by SAP note 765018
We have followed steps mentioned in link /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
(But we are not clear about site attributes which needs to maintain as per the CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit.)
ISSUE:
Material Group gets replicated to Product Category in SRM. However, the
Product Category gets replicated with Logical System which is not
maintained in EBM

Hi ,
Thanks 4 ur replay,i have maintained Site attributes,please give me detail of site attributes like which attributes should i maintain ?please give me descriptive answer.

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.

Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category - Table handling

Dear Experts,
in SRM 7.0, CS, i am facing the following requirement regarding tax codes:
We have users from different countries using SRM. These different countries have different tax codes that are to be used for legal reasons.
My question is, how i can achieve a system behaviour, by which in the shopping cart, the correct tax codes gets selected automatically, based on the country of the user, who is creating the shopping cart.
Question 1:
Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
Q2:
What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
Q3:
Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
Q4:
From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
Thank you very much for your help in understanding the topic.

Hi
Here are my responses to your questions:
Question 1:
Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
Answer - If you have a requirement where different countries have different tax codes, then you do need this confiugration. Otherwise Configuraiton in Enter Tax Code are sufficient.
Q2:
What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
Answer - Sometimes you have different codes for International and Domestic purchases for a product Category. IN those situations you can select Domestic/International field to differentiate btw tax codes. Otherwise this field can be left blank
Q3:
Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
Answer - No, if you enter country, then Category Id field is mandatory. You may enter * in case you dont have multiple backend systems. otherwise you will ve to ve individual entries for each category and backend system.
Q4:
From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
Answer - It is picked up from the address of the user where is will receive goods. and Domestic/International will be decided based on Vendor address with reference to thta address.
I hope my responses clarify your doubts.

Product Category Description 2 in SRM missing

Hello,
we have the issue, that the Product Category Description 2 is needed in the SRM System. The replication from ERP just giving Product Category Description 1. We are running SRM 7.0 and habe ECC 6.0 (EHP4) as Backend.
What would be the best way to solve this?
1. Enhance the master data replication and
2. Enhance the dataobject Product Category in SRM with the field wgbez60 to store the data
How can an enhancement to the replication be done? Is there a BADI as for vendors available?
How the middleware program need to be changed?
Thanks for your reply
Regards

Hi. In that case....
Go to BBPSC01 in the GUI, get the search help name from the category field.
Go to SE11 and change the search help to add a new field and put in a search help exit just like any other search help.
This way you can use the search help exit to read both descriptions from the backend and populate the search results.
This will allow users to see both descriptions when searching.
After they choose a category they will only see 1 description in the cart though.
You could implement a custom field and use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate the second description. It will be shown in a different section on the cart though.
Alternatively you could look at changing the templates, that would be quite tricky for something this complex though.

Dave.

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.

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

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

Error in Product Category Replication

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to replicate the product category from R/3 4.7C system to SRM5.0 system.
All the relevant table settings have been done in both the systems and we have successfully loaded objects: DNL_CUST_BASIS3 and DNL_CUST_PROD0 from R/3 to SRM system.
Now, the problem is with loading of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1. When we start its intial upload, the outbound queue in SRM system shows that the status of the queue is "SYSFAIL". The details of the error message show : "Filter criteria invalid. See note 0419752". We have set filter for T023 table for MAKTL field, so that only one material group is replicated from R/3 client.
We have checked the relevant release versions mentioned in the note, but our systems are on a higher version release.
Could anyone let us know which correction patch to implement in this case?
Thanks n Regards,
Ancy

OK. GO to R3AR2 AND CLICK THE PENCIL And click new entries
now you get requester name
adapter object =DNL_CUST_PROD1
table name =T023
field name = MATKL
LOW = you are material grup which you want to only rplicate
option = Equality (=low)
high = empty
go to r3ar4 and give your request name and supply dest and source that all
check comm_category table.

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?'

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

Hi,
How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
iMessages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Music library database index (but not the music itself)
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.
