Product category favorites list

SRM SERVER 550 Level 14.
Hello all,
The users want their product favorites list to have the last 15 categories.
I found out that by manually adding entries to BBP_CATEGORY_FAV I can increase the number of entries shown in the drop down list for product categories.
There's also an option for product category for the users in their own settings.
My question is is there an option for mass changing this for approximately 300 user?
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Hi Rob,
There are few ways to achieve this.
all data element like Unit of measure,product category ,currency are populated using favourite function module.
There are two BADI,Read documentation of these two BADI's
BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT
BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY
In these BADI,you have a table ET_CATEGORY_FAVOURITES
Populate these tables with favorite list and pass EV_X_FAV_PROCESSED as X.
You will get your favourite list in F4 Help.
This is applicable to all data elements.
To maintain this kind of list you have to pupulate the User favourite list in some table and based on that you have to plan pupulation on internal table.
Another simple way to do that ,which I have not tested and it require SAP core code modification.
You can see in SE38 transaction In include ,LBBP_HELP_ATTRTOP,there is a data declaration and based on this all data element like...product,UOM,Currency etc creats 5 favorite list...
So increase this number to 15 this will solve issue...
This may require access key generation and further maintaience issues while upgrade..
number of favourites per data element
CONSTANTS: GC_MAX_FAVOURITES TYPE I VALUE 5.

Product Category Favorite

Hello,
Is it possible to have more Product Category favorite?
Actually there is 6 and we want 15.
Thanks,

Hi
It's SRM standard feature.. In the web page, It will display upto 6 favourites at max...
Might be possible, with some modifications or code changes.
Also try this, try maintaining more than 6 categories for a user in table <u>BBP_CATEGORY_FAV</u> directly. [User-Specific Favorites for Product Categories]
Do let me know.

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.

"Add to Shooping cart" button does not work when changing Product Category

Dear all, we are running SRM 4.0 Classic scenario and we have a strange problem with Product Category field. When click on the "Describe Requirement", it opens the shopping cart page with the Product Category field and the default value is coming from favorites. As long as you dont change this value , enter the other fields and click on the "Add to shopping cart" button, then it works. If the users try to change this value on this page to select a different value from the drop down, then the "Add to Shopping Cart" button does not work. Has anyone encountered this problem before. Users are getting frustrated with this behaviour. Any help to fix this issue is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Gabriel Bertrand

Dear Disha, this is what is the behaviour.
Suppose, if for a particular user, there are 4 items listed as favorites in the Product category and one of them is a default value. If you don't make any changes to this value and then click on Add to Shopping Cart, it works. If you try to select a different value other than the default from the favorites, then the Button does not do anything.You click on it nothing happens and cannot go to the next page. Also all the links are disabled (ie Describe Requirement / Old Purchase Order and Template)
If we dont change the value for Product category and go to the next page (with default value) and then change the Product category here, it works (Continue button works and were able to Order or Hold).
Thanks
Regards
Gabriel

They want to add authorization by product category but also to make the new PO's with

After collecting the list of PO's that a user can see, the list in inserted into this BADI where you can then make further restrictions.
Hope this helps,

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 discription in the shoping card

Hello SRM gurus,
When the user is trying to create a shoping card , it shows me the last product category discription. I want to make it as a blank so that i can select my desired product category. Can i achieve it instead of last product category discription.
Note: SRM 5.0 I given * in the ext.att
Any clue is appreciated.
Raman

Hi. To get around this you can create a dummy material group called "Please select from list" or something and make it the default for all users in PPOMA_BBP.
Then use the BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to make sure that if the material group has not been changed to a valid one issue an error.
Regards,
Dave.
