Product Category / Logical System

We have taken a copy of our live SRM system and a copy of the ECC system.
We have updated the RFC's and the assignments to systems, but I am having problems with the product categories.
I do not seam to be able to change or delete the exisiting entries or exclude them in the PPOMA_BBP screen, and I need a way to link to the new copied system.
If anyone can help I would be more than greatful.

Hi nick,
Are you checked PRCAT
old logical system = XXX
new Logical system (current log system) = YYY
now you must get a report
then only you can replace.
thanks

Product category exists more than once

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0/ECC 6.0 (Ext classic)
Our SRM was earlier connected to ECC100 and was working perfectly. Now it is connected to ECC200 and working.
But area of concern is while creating limit SC, when I select a product category, the system displays a message "Product category exists more than once. Use input help". I have deleted all product categories of old ECC system from COMM_HIERARCHY too. This does not occur when I create a normal SC.
Anyone can please advise?
Thanks

hi,
Check the Material Group in ECC 6.0
Check in SRM in the Extended attribute tab whether the backend logical system and the product category are correct
In creation of shopping cart for the user it is picking from here

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...

Transfer product category from catalog to SRM with 2 BE systems

Hello experts,
We are having an issue when transfering products from the SRM-MDM Catalog though OCI, since we have an SRM extended classic scenario connected to 2 backend systems.
When the information is downloaded to SRM, the product category is changed and a "default" is assigned.
SAP has confirmed this issue happens because there are 2 entries in table COMM_CATEGORY for this value (even though they are clearly differentiated by backend system).
In our case, let's say Product Category "OS" (Office Supplies) exists in both backend systems, and it seems the system only searches for "OS" instead of doing a link to the logical system somehow.
How can I implement BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in order for the system to use the right Product Category? Should I map one the backend system in one of the custom fields or is ir possible to somehow get the backend system in some other way?
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto,
You should use the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi to also define the relevent category GUID during transfer, in this way you can make the category unique and the default will not be selected.

Jason

Logical systems in production with CUA

Hi,
We have recently implemented CUA and are rolling out ECC 6.0. We created the logical systems for development, QA, and production in the development system and transported them to QA and production.
The solution manager system is the CUA master.
We normally only have production logical systems defined in production and would like to remove the development, QA, and solution manager systems. If we attempt to delete these definitions in production in SALE, it complains that the logical system is still used in distrubution model CUA, although solution manager, not production, is the CUA master.
If we are using CUA, do we have to have all logical systems defined in all client systems?
TIA,
Russ

Hi Pradeep,
I don't think that's quite it. SM1 is the master. I'm in the production system (PE1) trying to delete the development system (DB1). I am not trying to delete SM1. I'm getting the following message.
Logical system DB1CLNT300 must not be deleted
Message no. B1199
Diagnosis
The logical system DB1CLNT300 is still used in distribution model CUA (client 800).
System Response
The deletion cannot be carried out.
Procedure
Confirm that the logical system DB1CLNT300 is really no longer used. Delete it first from distribution model CUA (client 800), then delete it here.
Thanks and best regards,
Russ

Logical System Change for Production System

Hi experts
We have new CRM and BI project. Logical System name of our ERP production system is not in naming standart. So we want to change logical system name and run BDLS in production system.
Is there any risk about this prosedure?
Best Regards...

Hi,
It is not advisable to change the logical system in production client once its assigned.

Same logical system name for two productive systems - BW, PI issues

Dear all,
we have a productive system which serves two companies (different company codes). This system is connected both to BW and PI for both companies.
There is a requirement that these two companies must use their own system, so the whole landscape (dev,qa,prd) will be copied to different systems (different server with different system id).
As a result of the above procedure we wll have two different productive systems, as required, but we wll have the same logical system name for the two productive systems, which must be both connect to bw and PI.
However as far as I know:
- we cannot connect systems with same logical system name to BW,PI
- we cannot convert logical system name of the one of the two productive systems as they are productive and so this is not supported.
How can we overcome the problem?
Please advice.

> However as far as I know:

Right.
> How can we overcome the problem?
Since you split up systems (or plan to) I highly recommend booking an SLO service (http://service.sap.com/slo). Those people have to the tools and the knowlege to help you. I would not do this on my own.

Transaction Launcher: Logical System in Production System does not change

Hi,
I created a transaction launcher in the CRM development system (CRD) to launch the transaction IL02 in the ECC 6.0 system (ECD). Then I transported the changes from CRD to the CRM production system CRP. I also transported the changes from ECD to ECC production system ECP.
However, when I see the transaction launcher in CRP system, it is still configured for the URL of ECD. I want the transaction launcher to connect to ECP. One option I have is to change the class name in the CRP system. However, I am not allowed to create a new ABAP class in the production system. Is there any other way to change the target system automatically in production system?
Thanks,
Rohan.

Thanks Piyush. Could you be a bit more specific? I followed these steps:
1. In transaction CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS, created a logical system URL for production system
2. In customizing setting Copy/Delete Launch Transactions, deleted the transaction launcher id.
3. In customizing setting Configure Transaction Launcher, created the same transaction launcher id newly.
I still am not able to change the logical system. However, I can do it if I change the class name.
While deleting the transaction launcher id, should I be deleting all dependencies?
Regards,
Rohan.

Same logical systems for two environments productive

Hi gurus.
I have a question for ALE
There are two production systems a copy of another, who want to connect both to configure the ALE, but by mistake, both systems were the same logical system when they made the copy. Since this change takes months. At the moment I can not make this change in BDLS because it is a productive environment.
When trying to configure the ALE, I am have problems with the logical system name, although one of the settings I gave it another name when you configure the transaction BD64.
Guys, what I find solution to configure the ALE, without changing the logical system to a productive environments ??????
Regards,
Desiré

Hi Mark, thanks for the replay.
I understand also that the solution is to execute the BDLS to change the logical system and convert all tables to new logical system.
I don´t know how the process copy for both system productive.
The problem is that both environments are connected to BW, and other applications and they opened an OSS note to SAP consulting and and the answer given is that they did not recommend changing the logical system.
I thought if there was another way to configure ALE without having the problem of changing the logical system environments.

Desiré

Assign a Logical System Name of a production client

Hi everybody,
We have an ERP system (now upgraded to ECC 6.0) that is in productive use since 7 years. Until now, no Logical System Name have been assigned to the production client - the field in transaction SCC4 is empty/blank.
Now we plan to implement a BW, so a test and a productive BW systems have been installed. According to the attached file and content of note 184447 we choose to use "Option 1: Uniform Logical System names clients by system type" for naming convention for LSN's.
All the systems/clients (BW test and productive, ERP test only) now are assigned with corresponding LSN's, except the production ERP client. It is still without LSN and the client is not defined as Source System for productive BW system.
So, my question is:
Should I expect any problems if the LSN of the production client is set up now, after long time, effective productive use?
I would mention that this is infact initial setup, not a change of LSN. Therefore transaction BDLS is not relevant, I think.
Thanks in advance

Hi DB49,
I already did an initial setup of LSN in the test ERP client (that client is copy of the productive ERP client, i.e. the LSN has not been set). And everything seems to be OK.
But the documentation says that ".... In a production system, the logical system must not be changed ...".
"Changed" is not "ïnitial setup" of course, so there will not be any problems I hope, but ...
SCC4 --> LSN field --> F1 -->
"System in which applications run integrated on a shared data basis.
The distribution of data between systems requires that each system in the network has a unique identification. The logical system is used for this purpose.
In the SAP System the client corresponds to a logical system. You can assign a logical system to a client in the client maintenance (choose Goto -> Detail).
The logical system is relevant in the following SAP areas:
ALE general: two or more logical systems communicate with one another.
ALE - ALE business processes (for example, cost center accounting): definition of a system where a specific application runs. Changes to master data can only be made in this system, for example.
Workflow objects: the logical system in which the object is located is always included in an object's key.
When maintaining the logical system, note the following:
The logical system must be unique company-wide. It must not be used by any other system in the ALE integrated group. In a production system, the logical system must not be changed. If the logical system of a document reference is not set to initial and does not match your own, the system assumes the document is located in a different system."

Original Logical System Of Product

Hello,
I am new to GTS and am finding it difficult to find the original Logical System for a Product in GTS. I found table /SAPSLL/TCOGVA, which shows the Logical System to Logical System Group. Then there is /SAPSLL/PNTPR, which shows the Logical System Group and Product. However, I would like to know which logical systems a product was found.
Is this possible in GTS?
Thank you in advance.
Regards, Dean.

Hi,
This is allways an issue, as this information, I beleive, gets lost along the way. So there are 2 hints for you. Either you find it out via the RFC user that created the Product (for that you need a different RFC user for each System, which I woul drecommend anyway), which you will find in the general Tab of the Product master. If you need this information on a constant base, I suggest you transfer it with the material and add it into an additionnal Field.
Let me know if that helps.

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.

ATP Check Issue - No business system could be determined for logical system

Dear all
Got an issue while executing ATP check on a planned order in product view,
with a message: "No business system could be determined for logical system"
CIF setting wise:
regular business system group maintained and assigned in place,
master data wise:
business system group info fine in product master,
Is there anywhere suggested to check under ATP setting:
category, check mode, business event, check control/check instruction?
Your kindest enlighting is appreciated,
Thank you,
mandy

Dear Mandy,
usually this error is caused by a missing customizing entry:
spro:
Integration with SAP Components
   Integration via APO Core Interface (CIF)
     Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape
       - Maintain Business System Group
       - Assign Logical System and Queue Type :
Please read the documentation for these two transactions and create the systems.
You need to specifiy there all systems that are in your BSG. The documentation for the customizing of 'name logical system' in APO says:
To enable the transfer of data between SAP R/3 and SAP APO, you need to name both the SAP APO system in which you are working and the SAP R/3 system to which you want to transfer data as logical systems.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tibor

Logical System name in BBP_DET_TAX_CODE

I am having a problem updating the logical system name in the configuration for BBP_DET_TAX_CODE. The menu path is SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Tax Calculation -> Determine Tax Code for Country/Product Category. When I try to add new entries to the table, the logical system name field is grayed out so that I cannot enter any value.
The entries in the table have the logical system name. Example:
I Domestic US CAP035 DRACLNT220 I0
I Domestic US CAP036 DRACLNT220 I0
I tried using the Edit -> Change Field Contents -> Source system name, but this didn't change any values. We are running SRM Server 5.5 with support pack level 14 in classic mode. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Andrew

Hi
Yes, logical system field is greyed out. Once you enter the product category (category ID), it will automatically pick the relevant backend logical system.
