Product category not visible in search help

Hello,
We have performed changes to product categories in Dev system and moved it to Q. I can see all the cateogories correctly in COMM_HIERARCHY, but when I try to add them in the org structure to users, I can't find them.
Any idea, why this could happen?
Thanks for your help.
(We do not replicate categories from R/3 but create in SRM)

Hi Snehal
How are you trying to map your product categories in organisational structure?
via extended attribute? for eg. product category?
how did you move from dev to Quality ?
i believe you can create(load) hierarchy in quality which you might have done in development?
define product category in your SPRO settings

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.

0SD_C03 - Product Category Not Loading

I have an issue where the field 0PROD_CATEG is not being populated in cube 0SD_C03. Looking at the data from 2LIS_11_VAHDR I see that its trying to map 0PROD_HEIR -> 0PROD_CATEG.
Here is the code for the mapping:
The problem is that product category is all ways blank. The COMM_STRUCTURE-prod-heir is allways '999999999999999'.
I see that product category is an master data info object but we don't use product category. I was wondering if I could swap out 0PROD_CATEG for 0PROD_HEIR but since 0PROD_CATEG is a part of the Key im not sure if its that easy (Or maybe it is).
At the end of the day I want to be able to report on HEIR or Category and say for the month of Jan we sold x number of widget A, B, C. The product category or Heirarchy can help with this if I can get it loaded.
Any ideas whats going on with the code and can I just remove product category and map product heirarchy instead?
Thanks,
larry

Hi Larry,
are there 16 Key figures defined in the target? If so is this the reason that 0PROD_CATEG is concactenated in the target? i.e. 16 KF's is the limit when mapped directly in a standard DSO, you can check the limitations in the following note....
1837308 - FAQ: Technical limitations of InfoProviders and Characteristics in BW
You could consider mapping some of the KF's as standard data fields if so,
Thanks,

Content OF Panel Is Not Visible. Need Help

Hi Guys,
Can someone tell me why the contents of the "VisPanel" (JPanel) class is not showing up in the main window. I just don't understand why it is not visible after i add it to the main window.
Here is the code. You can test it. Only the button shows up. The contents of "VisPanel" class is not visible.
Replace the images in the "VisPanel" class with any image of your choice. I made them 130 X 130. I would have like to add the images in the post but i don't think it is possible to add images to post in this forum.
public class TilesImage extends JFrame{

The "pana" panel must contain both the contents of the "VisPanel" panel and the button i created. So it is correct to set the contenPane to the "pana" panel. I tried to set the content pane to the "VisPanel" panel. It is visible but the button i added to the "pana" panel cannot be visible.
I hope you understand what i mean here.He understands exactly what you mean and has pointed out your mistake and offered a decent solution. I suggest you take his advice and set the layout of pana not the JFrame.

Use the Middleware SAP menu below:

Check transactions inside folders Data Exchange, Message flow and Queues.
Look by yourself threads dealing with product categories replication.

Components of a product are not visible in service order

Hi all,
I have created a product and assigned various other products as components to it. For e.g i have created a refrigirator and assigned components such as compressor etc. But after i assign the product while creating service order , i am not able to see the components. For e.g i can only see refrigirator and not compressor.
I want even the components to be visible in the transaction Can anyone help me in doing that?
Regards,
Madhu.

Hi Madhu,
My Understanding:
1. When you enter the main/header product in the item details, the item catefory for the header product gets determined.
2. Your components can also be seen below as sub-items automatically, but the item category is not determined.
Tell me if my understanding is correct.
If Yes, u need to maintain the item category determination for the sub-items or components as well.
Transaction Type: Put the service order transaction type
Item Category Group: Check the item category group of your component product in COMMPR01 (Material tab/ Sales and Distribution Tab)
Item Category Usage: Leave it Blank
Main Item Category: Put the header product item category
Item category: Put the desired item category here.
Also ensure that in the customizing of the header item category, u have maintained the Structure Scope as A- Single Level Explosion of Structured Products.

Shalini Chauhan

Product Category not transferred from CCM 1.0 to Shopping Cart

Hello all,
I have a problem where user choose item from integrated SAP catalog CCM 1.0 and add it to the shopping cart (EBP is 5.0).
When SC is displayed Category is different than in catalog.
I have only one backend (R/3 4.7) working in classic scenario.
During testing I copied material groups several times from the same backend with TCode R3AS but using FM BBP_CATEGORY_GET_GUID I checked that I have only one GUID per product grup in EBP.
User does not have default category.
In OrgStructure > Extended Attributes there is no limit on Product Categories ("*" for backend system). In this case EBP is always using alphabetically the first listed category.
If I list categories in Extended Atributes, system always use the first listed and not the proper one from the catalog.

Hello Vadim,
I should be now red due to the mistake that I made in catalog files.
In file for Supplier Catalog I did not include /ccm/product_group. After I did it everything went OK. I was thinking that CategoryID is enough. :blush:
Your answer pointed me to right direction.
Gordan
P.S. Instead of inserting breakpoints you can use procedure explained in note 847229 "OCI data passed from CCM/SRM"

Emails in inbox not visible unless searched for after mailbox migration

Hi,
After migrating a mailbox from exchange 2010 to 2013 everything looked ok upon first logon. The user then deleted 4 emails which prompted all the emails to disappear that were listed in inbox. They are visible if you do a search within inbox. All new mails
do show as normal.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Agree with Amit's suggestion. Please check if you can see these emails via OWA. If yes, please use Online mode to verify if Outlook works well. If yes, I recommend you create a new profile to solve this issue.
If the issue persists, please use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the problem is caused by add-ins.
Hope it helps.

Search Help with in a serach help required in SRM 4.0

Hi,
Requirement: Search help required for Product Category field in the Search help for Product(BBPH_PRODUCT) in SRM portal.
This search help is used in Create shopping Cart transaction. The hyper link on Internal Goods/Services leads to the search help BBPH_PRODUCT.

The field Product Category (CATEGORY_ID) has search help(COM_CAT_HIER) attached to its data element.

However the same does not appear on the corresponding screen in HTML.
Please let me know whether I need to do some thing to make the search help appear on the HTML screen?
