Product Comparison in ERP E-Commerce

Hello,
can somebody tell me if it's possible to compare products in ERP E-Commerce B2B product catalog? SAP lists this as a feature in some marketing materials but it is (to my knowledge) nowhere documented nor can I find an option to enable it.
Maybe someone can point me into the right direction. Thanks.

CaN you chk in mm02 for those materials if a valid unit of measurement is maintained?

Missing prices in a product catalog in ERP E-commerce

Hi All,
We are implementing ERP E-commerce using ECC 6.0 as the backend. I created a product catalog using
basic data thet includes catalog type, proper sales area, a valid customer, document schema, variant
and all other required data. I defined some valid materials in the layout of the product catalog. I created
condition recors for the sales area/customer/material combination. But, I do not get any prices for the
materials in the product catalog. If I create a sales order using he sales area, material and customer that
I used in the product catalog then I get the proper prices for the materials in the sales order.
Please let me know what can be the reasons for the missing prices in product catalog? What configuration/
settings that need to be done to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Import products into Product catalog - WWM1 ERP E-commerce

Hi guru's,
Is there a standard LSMW or program form SAP to import products (XML file) into Product catalog (wwm1). We have arround 10,000 materials and it is practically hard to enter them manually.
We are implementing SAP ERP E-commerce and are on ECC 6.0.
Thanks
Ram

While lot of effort is put by SAP in a BAPI to read Catalog or Catalog Export programs, there isn't any direct program to automatically load catalog.
We are out of luck if we don't use the automatic option in Catalog - that is to load catalog as per the hierarchy. If we have to use manual then there are no standard LSMW / programs for TCODE WWM1 to load products in catalog. We have found that the screens don't work well for a BDC type loading and hence we could not use LSMW easily.
Now, here is the IDOC for [Product Catalog - PRDCAT / PRDCAT01 |https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdcat01_d.htm] and one for [Product Catalog Item - PRDPOS / PRDPOS01|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/sapidb/011000358700002529571998/prdpos01_d.htm]. What do these give you? Nothing much really - you can use these as a way of input of your XML catalog data. But you still have to write your own program to load the data.
In CRM, there are bunch of function modules when used in a coordinated way, can be used to build a loading program.

Automatic assigning of products to catalog in ERP E-Commerce 5.0 B2B

Hi Everyone,
We have lots of products (aprox 25000), which we want to assign to catalog. We have decided to take a 2 step approach.
A) create/desin a Ztable which represent the Tree structure of catalog layout design and then create a program to insert all the products into the Ztable.
B) Use the ISA catalog Replication badi, copy the standard class CL_ISA_REPLICATION_CATALOG as Z and use the methods of this class to read our Ztable to assign and replicate the products to the respective layout areas.
Something like this approach we have used in CRM b2B implementation, but there the replication process was different program.
Can someone share his/her experience on this replication BADI and class ?
Thanks in Advace,
Dips

Hi Martin,
This is a very common requirement. Normally when there are thousands of products which needs to be assigned in catalog. Then the process is to just define the catalog. Then design a logic which would tell you, at what level( Catalog area/node) your product should go when replication happens.
In such a scenerio you will not see any products attached in catalog, but all the products will straightaway get assigned to catalog in TREX by means of replication.
Also the tables and tcode which you mentioned are for CRM. My Scenerio is ERP E-Commerce.
Thanks and regards,

Catalog views for ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0

We are implementing the R/3 version of CRM-ISA (ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0).
We need to implement product catalog views to allow filtering based on specific attributes.
We have created a custom function module Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE to replace ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE and Z_ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS to replace ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS.
But when we test from ISA the FM Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE does not get invoked through RFC.
There is an SAP NOTE 998453 that we checked but it is still a pilot version.
Has anyone implemented the catalog views without the notes? Can we do the catalog views without the note? If so, how can we meke custom FM work? Please advice.
Thanks,
VK

Check the following.
1. The XCM file modification-config.xml replaces both the function modules
2. The checkbox to use the catalog views is checked for your webshop
3. Catalog is published to TREX and you are using TREX catalog instead of Memory catalog.
I don't think these notes work without TREX. I'd be interested in learning if anyone successfully implemented Catalog views with ECC ECO without using TREX.

Customer specific prices in Catalog SAP ERP E-Commerce

Hi Experts,
We have implemented SAP ERP E-commerce -- ECC 6.0 ISA 5.0
Initially we implemented a B2B scenario without TREX engine.
VMC component is active (IPC).
In the catalog we don't see customer specific prices. What are the steps to enable customer specific prices in the catalog.
Do we need TREX engine ?
Do we need catalog views for customers to get customer specific prices.
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

Hello Ram,
Maybe have a read of thread Prices on Product catalog for e-Commerce R/3 this contains some helpful information.

Product comparison color swatches

Hello Everyone,
I am implementing Product Comparison page. So i have to display color swatches in every product.
I am using most of Out-Of-The-Box features to product comparison.
In the repository level i have created clothing-sku and added to a product.
Then i used /atg/store/droplet/ColorSizeDroplet to list down available color segments for given product.
Still it returns empty color list.
Please share solutions if you came across such issues.
I have one JSP pages. It has both add/remove products and compare products.

and xml file for EHP4 upgrade. I have done this before where in i configure the new system in SMSY as SAP ERP 6.0
and then configure maintenance optimizer and it gives me the option of Enhancement Package Installation.
However now in the current solution manager i dont see the product version SAP ERP 6.0 when im clicking
trying to creating a new system.
Our Solman version is 7.0 . I tried creating my new system under SAP ERP EHP as ehp version 1 and used maintenace
optimizer but it does not give me the option of EHP package installation. Can any one let me know how to address this
issue??
Regards,
Ershad Ahmed.

Hi,
Goto Tcode SMSY
1. Under Landscape Components --> Product Systems --> Select ERP --> Under that select your system ID and click on it,
Goto --> Header Data on your right side, change the Product Version to SAP ERP 6.0 and SAVE.

Warning message for material substitution in ERP E-commerce

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing SAP ERP E-commerce with TREX, ECC 6.0 backend.
Automatic material substitution is working in ECC. The material is also dispalying a warining message before substitution.
In B2B shop the substituion works - material X is replaced with matereial y but there is no warning message during substituion.
I believe matereial substituion in E-commerce is standard funtionality and it should work as configured in ECC for VA01.
Any susgestion why there is no dispaly of any message during matereial sub in E-commerce.
Thank you

Hi Ram,
What type of messags can be displayed on ECO ERP can be configured via XCM "UI" component. By default only error messages are displayed, You can create a customer component with message severity set to 'Warning" / "info" as required. After this all the messages raised by the Standard BAPIs are displayed on the basket.
However you need to be careful what severity level you want to use as apart from the message that you require, lot of other messages might also be displayed on the basket.

Hide the "Requested Delivery Date" ERP E-commerce

Hi,
We are implementing the SAP ERP E-commerce with ECC 6.0 as backend.
We donot want to display the feild "Requested Delivery Date" while creating an order both at header and item level in the b2b application.
Please let me know what should be done to disable this.
Thanks and Regards,
Ram

You can simply comment the code that displays (and input) the RDD field out from the relevant JSPs. This assumes that te RDD is NOT a required field in your backend order scenario.
If RDD is a requred field, hide them from the items but make the header field a hidden value and give some default value - say today() to the field. Care should be taken to take care of the date type based on the country, sold-to etc.

Creating a Product Comparison Chart

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about where I could find resourses/tutorials on how to create product comparison charts for a website? I have some very basic knowledge of php and MySQL so is this something I could learn on my own or should I download some kind of plugin for it?
Thank you!

Why not use a table the way Adobe did for this Product Comparison Chart?

Any suggestions on how this was created or references of a
developer that could create something similiar would be
appreciated.

Configurable product - ERP E-commerce 5.0

Hi Gurus,
E-commerce 5.0, ECC 6.0 .......... No TREX........VMC activated
I have the following error once I add the configurable product to the shopping basket and then go to shopping basket.
JCO Exception: COMMAND_EXCEPTION
Function: CFG_API_GET_CONFIG_INFO
Import Parameters:
| PARAMETERS 'INPUT'
CONFIG_ID
G
0
IC6133306
T
|----
|-|
I did the folowing steps
Knowledge bases and runtime versions are created
1) Event Handler is maintained in Table TBE31
2) IPC is maintained as consumer in table CRMCONSUM
3) Table CRMRFCPAR is not maintained as we are on ECC 6.0 (Do I need to maintain this)
4) The JCO user is maintained with the authorization objects S_RFC and S_MI_ADMCO
5) Initialized the DB using report CFG_AP_INITIALISE_DB
6) Request for the Knowledge base and version -- using report CFG_AP_REQUEST_DB
log shows every thing green ... but dont think the Knowledge base is uploaded.
7) ipc/admin/xcm/init.do ...XCM is configured for application type "erp" and the component "jco"
Is there any thing I am missing ... any suggestion why I am getting this error.
Thank you
Ram

Hi Chris,
I have moved to test environment and started working on a clean slate.
I understand what you are trying to tell regarding maintaining the XCM scenario in variant config (SPRO).
I have complete the following steps.
1) Activated VMC
2) IPC is set active in Shop Management.
3) Table TBE31 is maintained for the Event
4) table CRMCONSUM is maintained for IPC
5) Table CRMRFCPAR is maintained with two entries. Though RFC destination is not maintained.
RFC destinations in AP system are not maintained as we are running SAP E-Commerce 5.0 using ECC 6.0 as backend.
6) ran the report CFG_AP_INITIALISE_DB -- every thing is green and can see the knowledge bases in the log.
7) I have maintained the parameter "ipcjcodata" with the JCO component - and maintained the JCO connection user with authorization objects S_MI_ADMCO and S_RFC (with necessary functional groups).
Now If I login to b2b/init.do -- I can see the configuration icon next to the configurable product.
Once I click on the icon -
I can see the reset, accept, cancel options and status and product variant tabs.
But the charecteristics tabs and charecteristics are not being displayed. -- which shows blank.
the jsp's which are showing blank are
1) /ipc/components/characteristicGroup.jsp
2) /ipc/tiles/characteristicGroup.jsp/ipc/tiles/characteristics.jsp
Is there any thing I am missing - Please suggest.
Thank you

Replicating Product Catalog for CRM E-commerce

Hi All,
We have CRM 5.0 and trying to implement B2B E-Commerce. We created a product catalog in the CRM and configured XCM and shopadmin application. We created webshops for B2B. The B2b Webshops list is available.
I don´t replicate the product catalog. But after selecting any of the shop we get this error.
*The catalog that you have selected is currently unavailable; try again later *
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem.
We have checked Trex and J2ee connection too
Is it possible access to WebShop witihin replicated product catalog?
Thank you

You replicate your product catalog to the TREX server to enhance search functionality and scalability, and to improve system performance for your customers. You replicate your product catalog from your ERP server to the TREX server, using an ABAP Report.
Transaction code ISA_CAT_REPLICATION
You use the transaction ISA_CAT_REPLICATION (ABAP Report ISA_CATALOG_REPLICATION) to replicate product catalogs from your SAP ECC server to a TREX server.
