Hi Atul,
Your replies to many of the queries have been helping me a lot in troubleshooting during SRM system build.
I have issues in the following areas. Can you please provide me suggestion or send me any material that might be of help:
1. I am currently building a SRM system which is a copy of some other system. The backends are different. The issue is that the product related data of the previous backend still exists and when i run "Material" in R3AS, the report runs but the materials from the new backend does not replicate. Manually created materials in the new back end seem to replicate. (The product hierarchy has got replicated from the new backend)
2. The Vendors were also from the old backend system only. I then deleted the entries in VENMAP table and ran the vendor_sync program, but the message is that no vendors exist to be replicated. Newly created vendors also are not getting replicated.
My email id is [email protected]
Looking forward to ur reply.
Thanks & Regards

How to create a (product) description field of 250 car length?

Hi,
I need to create a specific field for the product description with a length of 250 car. (standard product desc field is only 40 car long), and this field will be added in the Product search screens.
So, i tried to create an attribute (tx COMM_ATTRSET) , but there is an error indicating that the max length is 75 for the PCUI, but the help states that this limit can be bypassed by replacing the error message by a warning one in table T100C.
But , i can't edit this table, though i have got SAP_ALL authorization.
First question : how to edt this table?
Secondly, if i manage to create an attribute with 250 car length, will it be displayed correctly by the Web UI ?
Would there be other ways to create this field (append z-Field in COMM_PRODUCT table? using EEW or AET?)
thanks for yr help
Ludovic

well, I have found at least how to replace the error message (length of max 75 car for PC UI) . Instead of trying to edit manually table T100C, there is an entry in customizing SPRO (cross appl/SAP Product/basic settings/Define Characteristics of System Messages
) which allows to customize standard messages , and so change from Error to Warning.

Text table for long text of product catalog area and product description

Hi experts,
I'm a new comer in CRM, what my current job is to do the translation for CRM system and its portal, e.g. webshop. Now I met some questions as below, Could you please give me some advices?
1. Long text for product catalog area (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
I found a table named STXL(STXD SAPscript text file lines), maybe, it is related to the long text(product catalog area), but I can not get anything from the field CLUSTD of the table STXL as its data type is RAW. Maybe, there is a text table in CRM to store these long text information, but I dont know, Could you please give me some ideas?
2. Long text for product description (t-code: COMM_PCAT_ADM; Product Catalog: PCSHOP)
I found a table named COMM_CFGLNGTXT(Long Texts for Different Objects), I can find some long texts(product description) in this table, but some others, I can not find them. I dont know why? Maybe it is not a correct text table. Could you please give me some advices?
Thank you very much.

HTML tags in products description

Hi,
We use HTML tags in CRM products description for our B2C application. We now have a problem when we make a search in the application for the word TABLE, TREX find all references of the word in the HTML. Is there a way to solve this problem.
Regards,

Hi,
I remember to trying this also by myself, and as far as I remember I didn't manage to get it working. In my case I wasn't even working with third party solution, but with "normal" SAP workflow tasks. This doesn't mean that it wouldn't be possible.
As a workaround, you could add an additional button (=action) for your task. By pressing the button a new browser window would open. Just take a look to the UWL DTD and actions + UrlLauncher handler.

Product Description as alternative ID

Dear All,
Is it possible to make the product description as an alternative ID? and How?
I tried to make a new ID type with Database table COMM_PR_SHTEXT and field SHORT_TEXT but when I click generate type it says that Table COMM_PR_SHTEXT no longer exists or has no field with the name SHORT_TEXT
Regards,
Ahmed

I think you should try to use expert mode for building Alternative id for your requirement.
Select the expert mode in the initial screen , then in the expert mode select the Do Not Generate check box.. Next build your own class by copying the CL_ALTID_PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_ID and in this class try to modify the methods to read the product descriptions for alternative id. You may look at the standard class for more details.
The idea is to create an ID that needs to reference particular table ( in your case , the product descriptions table )
I guess you have to explore more on this. It is not straight forward.
Hope it helps.

How do I keep product attributes from floating over product description on ecommerce site?

When MistyAcresAlpaca.com went live, the site was working perfectly. Over the past week, I've seen changes to the site's menus , footers and products pages that were not initiated by myself. It appears to be a software, JS or JQuery issue.
To clarify, catalogs have been rearranged on menu, product attributes float over product descriptions and foot information has been rearranged.
Customers who try to order products using IE as a browser are unable to do so. Using Chrome or Firefox, customers are able to order products but attributes (size, color) are still floating over the product. Most of the sites customers use IE as a browser.
Please advise on how this can be resolved and the website stablized.

Think you may have a missing end </div> for your <div id="nav">, as it appears to be currently encapsulating the entire page including the footer.
As a result styling for the menu #nav ul li is being adopted further down on the product details.
Regards
Mike

Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in R

Currently we are able to see the Customer ship to number and Product number in SNC Responsive Replenishment (RR) screen. We want to have Customer Ship description and Product description in addition to Customer ship to number and Product number to be displayed on Responsive replenishment screen.
Current display of RR screen in SNC:
In this we can see the 7529000 and 23100.
The Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in RR screen.
Product 7329000: Brass coil
Customer ship to 23100: Evershine company

Hi Vaibhav
we have faced similar problem in case of SNI monitors where SNC does not provide the product or location description and our users used to remember those things by their description. Std. SNC does not provides descriptions on SNI monitor and I think its the same case with RR monitors also.
SAP suggest us that time is that they will try to include this thing in next releases. Other option remains for use is to go for the customization.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Search function for Product description in shopping cart

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.5 version. We have a problem when we are searching the Product with the Product description.
Shop -> Create Shopping Cart -> Internal Goods/Services
Enter a pattern between the stars such as
*cap*
and then Click Start.
System is not restricting the search output with the pattern
*cap*
. Instead it is displaying all the Products and search is not getting restricted by the search function.
When I was searching for an OSS note to fix this issue, i found the note(1322462) to fix a similar issue with the Product ID.
Do we have any SAP note to fix the issue with the Product Description? Please guide me.
With regards
Krishna
Edited by: krishnadasan on Nov 12, 2010 7:37 PM

Hi Muthu,
Current service pack is SP 13(SAPKIBKT13).
I believe this SAP note 1322462 can resolve the issue with search function for the "Product ID". I will implement this note and let you know the result.
Do we have any SAP note to solve the issue with the search function for "Product Description"?
With regards

How to change product description in CRM

Hi gurus
I need to chage the product description in de CRM oportunity and in CRM quotations.
The product description is composed for every customer, for this reason I need to change the standar product description in the opprtunities and in the sales order
Could you help me

Hello,
In CRM, product is considered to be a master data and hence product description for the same product should be same
in opportunity as well as in quotation, or else it might create inconsistencies later on.
You have the option to maintain produce descriptions in difference languages but not for different txn types.
Hope this helps!

Shanthala Kudva.

Adding modules to a product description

Hi guys
Just wondering why is it not possible to add a module (such as an image gallery or media downloads) to a product description area?
See screenshot. there is no module toolbox.
Thanks
Micha

Hey studiomigo,
It is possible to use modules in the product description. It's true that no toolbox is available when viewing the product description, however just place the appropriate module tag into the layout and it should render when viewing the product on the front end. The module tags can be found in the following article: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html. Or alternatively, navigate to a page, insert the module then copy the code inserted into the page onto the product description.

Product Description too short

The product description in the back end is too short! When you have multiple attributes for a product, it is impossible to view which the customer chose when you open up the order.
Where can I view each attribute(which are in the form of dropdowns on the frontend) that the client chose?
I have attached an image for you to view. You'll see the description only allows for certain amount of characters!
Thank you!

Product description- is not getting updated..

Hi APO Expert,
I am getting error in description of product - it is not getting updated..
Material description is changed in R/3 same is not getting extracted in APO. However, other forecast data and transaction data of extracted successfully. Please note Product start data is maintained from few days onwards.
Regards

Hi Rushikesh,
Go to CFC9 in R/3 and check what value do you see for material master change transfer:
1) If it's blank, you won't get changes from R/3 to APO. If your CIF jobs run daily, then change the value of 1. Changes will come to APo after CIF job for material will finish.
2) If it's 1, then you need to re-CIF the material to get the changes in APO
3) if it's 2, only then the changes are supposed to happen immediately when you change the description in R/3. If your setting is 2, then you need to check if an active integration model (IM) exists for your product or not. Go to CFM5, give your product and check if an active IM exists.
PS: not clear regarding your comments about forecast. Forecast could go from APO to R/3, and not the other way around.
Thanks - Pawan

How can I remove the 'Qty' text from individual product descriptions?

I didn't know if this was possible or not... I've recently taken the reins of handling an ecommerce site that had been published before I got on board. My boss wants me to remove the 'Qty:' description from some products because the image shown for some products is a misleading description of the actual quantity available (i.e. there is a picture that shows a stack of conveyors parts, and it says 'Qty: 1' to represent one 'stack' of conveyor parts - this confuses customers into thinking there's only one individual conveyor part available however). To avoid any confusion he requested that I remove the 'Qty' text from similar images. I see that you can change the 'In Stock' amount of a particular product underneath the 'Inventory' tab of the 'Products' menu, but I didn't know if it was possible just to remove the quantity description altogether without just typing the quantity in at zero. This is likely a strange question but I didn't know where else to ask! I would appreciate any help or advice Thank you

Hi ewhelhalu,
I just figured out a way to do it, but it's a little weird and complex, and I have no idea what the consequences for editing this .plist string might be. I'm thinking it'll be OK, but you never know what might happen when you screw around with Apple's intentions.
So if you have the Developer Tools on your install of OS X, you can use the Property List Editor to edit the Dock files. (If you don't have this program, you can use a program like [Pacifist|http://www.charlessoft.com> to selectively install stuff from your Leopard disk).
The file you're interested in is within Macintosh HD > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences, and it's called com.apple.dock.plist. Open that up with Property List Editor, and open the arrow drop-down next to "Root." The lines you're looking for are "persistent-apps" (the left side of your Dock) and "persistent-others" (the right side). If you open the drop-down arrows, you'll see there are numbers below each. The numbers correspond to your Dock items, from left to right.
If you click on drop-arrows by the numbers, a sample hierarchy looks like this: 0 > tile-data > file-label. It's the "file-label" string that you want to edit. Just make it ("it" being the name of the icon under the "value" column) blank, save the file, go into Terminal and type "killall Dock" without the quotes, and your Dock icon should appear without a name. You'll have to do this for all of them.
I should insert the usual caveats here about backing up beforehand and making sure that you have a copy of the .plist file before you start tweaking it so that you can replace it if things go wrong. And perhaps someone with more knowledge of Terminal or third-party apps than I have will come along and suggest a simpler solution. But that's the only one I have.
Hope that helps!
