Product Category - Customisation Request

Hi All,
We have maintained chineese language descriptions for some of the product category ID's in our development server.(TCode used is COMM_HIERARCHY).
At this stage there was no customisation request created for the above changes.Could some one give an idea to capture the above process in the form of customisation request as we need to move the same to Quality and Production.
Help is appreciable.
Thanks and Regards,
Sri Naveen Dasari.

Product Categories have GUIDs associated and these GUIDs are system dependent. So it is not advisable to have them in a Transport request. Thats why when you creating them it wont prompt for request. You would need to recreate them.

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.

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.

Nikhil

HI

some customer expects this facility
Product category vs supplier
prod category - Building equipments - DLF
- telecoM - HUTCH

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.

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
Ron

Hi,
How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

Linking vendor to product category

We include product categories in our catalogs, but in case of special request where user has to describe the requirements, the user does not know which category to pick from the list. Is there a way to link this field (the category) to the vendor so that when the user enters the supplier in the Sources of Supply area, SRM automatically populates the product category that's assigned to the supplier.
In SRM is there a way to maintain a relationship between a supplier & a product category? If not in SRM, is such a relationship maintained anywhere in MM that can be brought over to SRM?

Product category mandatory in the shopping cart ?

Hi everybody,
We are studying shopping carts functionalities in SRM in activating ECS.
We are not using articles, but only product categories. We would like to know if the product category is necessary mandatory in the shopping cart? Indeed, if the shopping cart is related to a simple customer need, the information of the product category is not always known by the requester. He would fill only the description of the request.
Thank you for your help,
Vin

Vinna,
Product category (Material Grops) is mandatory for any shopping cart creation, However in SRM some of the basic configuration setting is based on product category only. Mainly the G/L account is mapped with product categories which is important for account validation in the shopping cart.

NMK

Pur Grp and product category changes made in R3E not reflecting back to SRM

Need to investigate why changes made to Purchase Requisitions in SAP R/3 (Purchasing Group & product category) doesn't feed back to SRM.
Purchasing Group and product category changes made in R3E do not reflect back in SRM.

Hi Sanjay,
You should also schedule report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 (updating requirement coverage
requests) to run in the Enterprise Buyer system, so that information on the status of purchase
requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations is up-to-date.
I hope,this helps.

Product category does not exist in logical system

Hello Experts,
Need help in understanding product category change behaviour.
Shopping cart created and approved.
PO created and approved.
Now PO change version created by changing product category.
Please enlighten me whether this change is really allowed on business perspective and SAP perspective.
So far we been told that there is business case to justify this change.
If allowed by SAP, then how do we solve the problem of error occuring in workflow "product category does not exist in logical system XXXX".
Please advise.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi
I dont have a system right now to check
1.are you ordering the item from external catalog? ( any mapping between catalog product category to SAP product category )?
2. after approved PO created.
3. Now BUYER could change the product category again?
4. why the BUYER takes push ups for REQUESTER . Let Buyer cancel the PO and ask requester to create a PO.
What is the business process existing in your business ?
Since product category determines purchase group and every thing like gl account etc..
Can you recreate the same issue in development box?
Note 1466155 - GL account not re-determined on change of product categorySymptom
You have an SRM PO with items having multiple account assignment. Go to the PO item overview OR to the item basic data tab and change the product category. However, this does not trigger a new GL account determination for the accounting lines.
Note 1407962 - Category is editable when contract is assigned in PO item
Symptom
When ever a Contract item (Free text or Product Category) is assigned to a Purchase order free text line item, The category modification is not allowed. This is because the product category is always copied from the contract item and overrides the Category for Purchase Order Item. It is confusing for the user as the category is editable and can't be modified.
SAP has different different behaviors . Kindly tell us what type you belongs too...

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.

Table of customisation requests

Hi all , when we create customisation request, in which table it get stored?
In any project there are many requests , so when I want to release or transport it to Development or Production client then is there any option to transport it in bulk like when w upload master data through LSMW ?
Bhushan

you have to prepare this before your start with customizing.
you need to create one transport manually and add all your consultants to this transport.
and then you communicate to all consultants that they should add to this transport when they create transport request for the project.
Then you can easily transport it in one go.
But after the fact, you can combine the various transports into one transport, but in this case I dont see much benefit compared to the individual transport.

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

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 ).

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
