Product Category Description Missing

Hello all,
We replicated product category from R/3 to SRM . The problem is, the product category description field is missing for the categories replicated. I had replicated one more just to make sure all data got transferred correctly, but the description is also missing for the single one replicated. How can this be resolved?
Thanks.

  • 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

    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.

  • Show Material Group Long Description in SRM Product Category ?

    Hi,
    We have entered Short and Long Decriptions for Material Groups in R/3 and we have run the replication too. We want to show the Long Description of the Product Category to the users on the web screens.
    We know there is a setting in SRM to do this but we don't know what it is.
    Please let me know if any one has idea.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Query Regarding Default Product category set up in SRM server

    HI SAp Gurus,
    Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
    Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
    In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
    But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
    1) Enter A comapny Code
    2) Enter a unit of measure
    3) Plant for follow-on document missing
    4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
    5) Error in account assignment for item 1
    6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
    7) Not possible to calculate tax
    8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
    9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
    When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
    I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
    System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
    I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
    Kindly advice and do the needful.

    Hi Muthu,
    I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
    Bu the new problem raised - a warning message -  No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
    For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
    But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
    Can any one please advice.

  • Product Category - Overriding the defaults

    I have implemented the BADI to map the Product Category during the external catalog shopping cart creation.
    I have the mapping Ztables.
    If the mapping is available, all is working good.
    However if the mapping is not available, I have to pass the error message about missing mapping.
    The error message is working as well but the product category is getting defaulted to the standard category of the User.
    I dont want to set it to the standard category.
    Any clue?
    SRM Functional says there is config to default and they dont want to change it.
    How can I override this config?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am using the David Barber's workaround as specified above.
    In the BAD, I am calling the FM: BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL and it gives me the SC details.
    After validations, I am updating the ET_MESSAGES.
    The error messages are displayed if the dummy product group is used but the SC is getting saved inspite of errors.
    Any idea?

  • Product Category Rules in Shopping Cart

    Hi All,
    Currently trying to figure out the logic behind how the SRM system fills in the Product Category field in the Shopping Cart when taking an item from a Punch-Out Catalog. From what I've researched so far, how it is supposed to work is:
    If a valid value is passed through NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP[n] then SRM should populate this.
    If no value is passed then default value maintained in Ext. Attributes of Org. Structure is taken.
    Are there any other rules that I'm missing? What if the catalog passes a valid Product ID, but no Product Category, will the system take the associated Product Category from COMMPR01, or will it take the default from org structure? In our tests we found that is taking the default from org structure, and I'm not sure if this is a bug, standard, or configuration issue.
    Regards,
    Andrew Bondarev

    Hi Richardo,
    Thanks for the response. We have already checked the table, and it doens't seem that there are duplicate entries for the Product Category.
    We did just have a breakthrough though in that if we supress the fields NEW_ITEM-ext_schema_type and NEW_ITEMEXT_CATEGORY_ID[n], then the proper value is populated in SRM.
    Note: We are performing the mapping on the APC side, so the value in NEW_ITEM-MATGROUP[n] is already the Product Category found in COMM_HIERARCHY. No mapping should be needed in SRM. I'm guessing that by passing a schema type and ext. category ID, SRM is looking for some mapping in SRM, but can't find it so it uses the value in the Org. Structure.
    Now the issue is figuring out how to allow for the values  for Schema and Ext.Category to still be passed from APC, but have SAP ignore them.
    Regards,
    Andrew
