Product category issue

Hi
We are upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0 system. we are facing some issues in Shopping cart
1. Product category is getting defaulted in SC for all the line items. we have not maintained default in extended attributes and in default settings in SC also we tried to remove Product category but it is mandatory field and system is not allowing us to give blank and when i have given product category at SC Default settings it populates to all line items. Our requirement is product category should be blank at SC level and user will select. How to find the solution for this
2. G/L Account is not populated based on the product category ( we have maintained at config level for product category and G/L Account but it is not populating when SC is created with that product category
Appreciate your help
Regards
Sandeep

hi
last product category or first product category is showing as default for all your sc. before you order you can change it right .
or create a dummy product category and make it default.

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.

SRM product category replication issue

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the product category from ECC to SRM
I have run the R3AS, but no success,
In SRM SMQ2 no entry created
In ECC SMQ1 no entry created
In R3AM1 "DNL_CUST_PROD1" is running status, not changing to green
I also found that
In R3AM1 DNL_CUST_BASIS3 also running and both the status is block
Please help to resolve status.
Thx
Jai

Hello Roy,
Kindly follow the below steps to resolve the issue here.
1) Maintain the table TBLSYSDEST in both SRM and ERP system with regards to the logical system and Technical and Dialog rfc's.
Also assign the MW_admin in the rfc user.Register the queues with * smqr.
2) Follow the sap note 720819 and maintain all the 5 tables correctly.
3) Before you start the download, you must use transaction SE38 to execute the report BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW in the EBP system. In the 'User' field, enter the consumer name that you selected (for example, "SRM").
Select the radio button depending on whether service products should be active or not. The report starts with the default settings in test mode.
4) Ensure that the table CRMATAB in ERP system holds the entries after the step 1. IF it is blank then follow the sap note 1498111 and run the report SMOF_FILL_CRMATAB in SRM.
5) Also check for the R3-Guid in the tables CRMMLSGUID (SRM system) and CRMPRLS (ERP system ). Both should be identical with the logical system.
Kindly abort and load the object again, it should work fine.
Also to replicate the new material groups, you need to trigger the delta load.

Unit of measure issue in Product Category Units Quota Planning

Hi experts,
My client needs to maintain quota for salespersons based on R/3 product hierarchy level. (1000 kg of Product Hierarchy Level 01234 per month, 2000 KG of Product Hierarchy Level 56789 per month, vs.). R3PRODHIER is the category assigned to Sales application.
So in Quota Planning, sub-assignment block Product Category Units, I want to maintain quotas. I press Add button, mark the Hierarchy level I'd like to plan quota to, and press Choose button, but "Unit of Measure" field does not fill up. Surprisingly, in the dropdown list, there is not an option which I can select (i.e. 'KG'). The list is empty, even after I fill Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 values. So, I am not able to use the quota planning functionality.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks for your time,

Hi Kivanc,
I see exactly one year ago (almost to the minute) you posted this solution.
I am having exactly the same issue as you had. I also assumed the problem lay in ECC with unit of measure having to be defined at that same level.
I have asked our SD team about this and they are not maintaining units of measure at higher levels of the hierarchy, only on the product itself.
Our units of measure will be EA, TO, KG
So how do I get around this? I don't completely understand what you have explained in your solution.

Kendal

Product category replication issue

Hi friends,
We are trying to replicate product category from one of our R/3 backend to the SRM box. There is only one product category we have specified in the filters in R3AC3, but DNL_CUST_PROD1 is showing status running from past 3 days.
I would like to point out that the same scenario is working fine for other R/3 backends.
Any idea/suggestion about the reason for this issue in replication process?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Robin,
We are also expecting some customizing problem as the reason for this issue.
I just want to again point out that Product category replication is working for other R/3 backends. Only one specific R/3 backend is causing this issue.
Can you advise what could be these backend specific settings and where we can verify them?
Thanks
Gaurav

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
Edited by: trevor_987 on Dec 2, 2010 12:12 PM

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.

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

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.
Regards,Nishant

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.

Dave.

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
