Product hierarchy in COPA

Hi all,
I am new to COPA. What I need to do is creating a report that is using a product hierarchy that we can define.
So I started and created a hierarchy in V/76 like we need it. Those values can now be entered into the "Prod. hierarchy" field for each material in material master - basic data 1.
Then I have created a characteristic for the field MARA-PRDHA (Product Hierarchy) in COPA and assigned it to our operating concern in COPA. Now I created a form (KE34), double clicked on a column to add a characteristic and selected my PROD HIERARCHY characteristic. Now in the window for "selected characteristics" there is a checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" so I checked that, but it says "No hierarchies exist for this characteristic".
So is this the right way to do it? How can I add product hierarchies to my COPA report, we would like to be able to "click" through the hierarchy, like starting on the highest level and clicking down.
Thanks
Anne

Anne,
Do not a check on checkbox "Flag for entering hierarchies" . Select value( Hierarchies from Definition drop down window) .
Thanks,

How the Trading Goods mapped in to Product costing and COPA in Controlling

Dear Experts,
I have a trading goods scenario in my client. How the mapping into Product Costing and COPA.
They just purchase FG products from Vendors and Sell to their Customers, they received FG Products to Main Plant from Vendors and then sends to Branches from Main Plant, In between some expenses accured like Transport, Fright etc. this is my scenario.
How the settings to be made in Product costing and COPA.
I am waiting for your favorable reply.
Thanks,
KBR.

Hi Bhaskar
I believe branches are also created as Plants
You have 2 choices....
Choice 1: If the Freight amount is known @ the time of Transfer from Main plant to Branches, include the same in STO so that inventory value in Branch = Purchase Value + Freight amount
CHoice 2: If thats not possible, then inventory value in Branch will be same as the Main plant... The expenses incurred on freight needs to be posted to a cost center... Then allocate them @ month end based on revenue / Quantity sold etc using KEU5
Whichever choice you make, Product Costing is not relevant and required as well... You dont need to do any CK11N
If you want to see in COPA Purchase value separate and the Freight, etc separate - Then choice 2 is the route for you

Product Hierarchy and Assortment Module?

Hi,
Can anyone throw some light on Product Hierarchy and Assortment Module?
Regrds,
Binayak

Hi,
Product Hierarchy:
Product Hierarchy is used to group the materails by combining features. It is used for analyses and pricicng. A produch hierarchy can consist of upto 18 characters. Its features can be combined in various ways, the following figure gives an example of how materials can be grouped using product hierarchy.
Product Hierarchy: Electrical Appliances(00001): 1. Dry Appliances(00001), 1.1 Electri Stoves(00000001), 1.2 Food Processors(00000002); 2. Wet Appliances(00002), 2.1 Washing Machine(00000001), 2.2 Dish washer(00000002).
In this case, a dish washer can be describered by product hierarchy 000010000200000002.
This is called as Product Hierarchy.
Assortment Module:
This is one type of Value contract using assortment module (Contract Type: WK1). Firstly we have to create Assortment Module using T.code: WSO1, and enter the group of material in the assortment module and save. and then create contract and assign the Assortment module number in the contract and enter the value and save the document. after that is same like other contract.
Hope i have answer your question

Product Hierarchy to COPA

Hi All,
We have defined and maintained product hierarchy as 4 levels with each level as 2 CHAR. This was done by appending the structure. Now in COPA,, how do we get this? Bcoz in COPA the characteristics are different. What changes needs to be done by COPA to pull this?
rgds..Ameet

hi
you can define the characterstics which is similar to the appended structure.
in SPRO - while defining the OPERATING CONCERN.
hope this clears your issue.

Hello,
Product hierarchies are the domain of materials management. A product hierarchy is assigned to the material master record. This hierarchy is broken down into specific levels, each level containing its own characteristics.A product hierarchy is recorded by the sequence of digits within a hierarchy number. This hierarchy number may have a maximum of 18 digits with a maximum of 9 levels. The custom Product hierarchies can be maintained in V/76. However, for complete help on your requirement, you may post it in MM Forum.

SQVI Report for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy and its Product

Hi
How to create a SQVI report for generating a list for SAP CRM Product Hierarchy which should show the outputs->Level 1, level 2, level 3 and level 4 categories and its products?
I tried COMM_Hierarchy table and Comm_product but not able to achieve this requirement.
or Is there any chance of getting related tables so that I could try more for this requirement.
In which table both product id and its category Id can be found?
Pravin

Thanks DJ
Is there any possibility to get a report for product hierarchy in SQVI ?
say in SAP CRM system, the product category is maintained in COMM_HIERARCHY as
Parent category Id->
                                Level2 Category Id->
                                                                 Level 3 Category Id->
Level 4 category Id ->
Product Id's
(I understood the link between Level 4 category id and product id with your info.) but not able to achieve the requirement fully.
Is there any possiblity to achive for generateing a report?

Creation of new product hierarchy and products in SAP CRM.

Dear all,
please help with resolving of following issue:
In CRM system base hierarchies were replicated from R/3 system with materials. Current requirement is to create new materials in CRM directly (as standalone scenario). As far as I understand, I have to create new hierarchy with required list of set types in order to allow creation of products in CRM directly (product type = material). Can anybody describe changes in the system step by step, what should be changed and where?
As a result I need to have a possibility to create products in CRM directly for sales scenario processing.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Jorge,
thank you so much for your reply!
Here what I tried to do:
1. I created new category in hierarchy R3PRODSTYP, added 3 set types: COMM_PR_MAT, COMM_PR_SHTEXT, COMM_PR_UNIT as basic set types.
2. In the SPRO - Cross-Application Components - SAP Product - Settings for Product Type - Number Assignment - Define Number Ranges for the Product Type "Material" I found my new product category is unassigned, so I assigned it to the "CRM Products" group.
3. Farther I tried to create a new product for created category in CRM Web UI, but was not able to find it in the Base category search field. All categories correctly displayed from R3PRODSTYP, but my new category is absent. What can be the reason of category absence? Btw, it cannot be found even when I try to display whole hierarchy in Web UI, however, in SAP GUI, it can be seen via tcode comm_hierarchy.
Here is the setup of hierarchies in the system:
I have no idea how to check #3 "Ensure the hierarchy is assigned to CRM application".
Can you please suggest, what should be changed in addition? Thank you!

Product Costing and COPA

Hi Friends,
Could any one tell me the basic settlements done to COPA from Product Costing point of view and which tables will be updated at the periodic settlemnet of variences to COPA?
Thank you ,
Parthu

Hi
During settlement, variances are posted to CO-PA from the Production/Process Order/Production Cost Collecter at the same time that they are posted to the G/L. The fixed and variable portions of the variance are carried over into CO-PA with the same breakdown as the cost component layout that comprises the standard cost. Any characteristics that have been configured in CO-PA that are related to the product number are carried over for analysis, such as product number, product line, plant, and so on. This access allows the matching of variances with the products cost of sales.
The variances are posted to CO-PA in the period when they are incurred, not the period when the product is sold.
If you are using costing based CO-PA, the tables updated are:
CExYYYY, where yyyy = the operating concern/
Hope this helps.

Product Hierarchy and creating quotations with brands - require solution

Hi,
We are using product heirarchy in our system ( its a 18 character key), the first 8 character is for the brand.
Material is created with a different character combination and the material is assigned the complete 18 character key in the material master record.
Now the requirement is that the distributor places a plan to buy a particulat brand ( not material i.e with specific colour, which he will do it at a later stage) with quantity and price, this has to be captured in the SAP.
Once the distributor's plan is approved, he will place a purchase order and Sales order gets created automoatically.
My line of thought is capture his plan in quotation and once he places orders , an sales order is created with reference to the sales order.
The challenge is how to capture brand in a quotation with price.
Can we create material master records for these brands which are used only in quotations and SO can be created with original materials ( the final finished product).
Please provide me your valuable solutions and suggestions.
Thanks
Venkata Rama Reddy.K

Hi Hans,
We don't want to wait for until billing to update price since we have the CI created at the time of delivery not billing. CI document also needs to display correct pricing for custom purposes.
Also, we would like to keep pricing on the Sales Doc. and Billing Invoice the same. This is why we would like to trigger re-pricing on sales order. And when pricing is re-invoked, we need to re-read the PRODH data to ensure new price is retrieved.
Thanks for your response.

COPA - Product Hierarchy

Dear all experts,
My client has split the product hierarchy in COPA into 3 levels.
For example, ProdHier01-1, ProdHier01-2 & ProdHier01-3.
Then they use these values in COPA to further derive the detailed product characteristics.
By looking at the questions posted in SCN, I realized that the naming convention (ProdHier01-1, etc) and setting (create characteristic with reference to MARA-PAPH1/2/3) are the same.
So I assume this is the standard SAP way to create the prod. hierarchy in COPA.
Now my question is,
1) Is it necessary (or standard way) to create 3 COPA characteristics to derive each level from PAPH1/2/3?
2) What is the purpose to create no. of COPA characteristics according to no. of product hierarchy level?
3) Can I just create 1 COPA characteristic and map it to the full length of product hierarchy value?
I can still derive the detailed product characteristics from this 1 COPA characteristic.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Sebastian

Hello Madhu,
Thanks for your reply.
That is my main question, why do we need to update Prod.Hier1/2/3 in COPA?
Is it the standard SAP way that's why my client just follows?
When I check in the derivation rule, this Prod.Hier1/2/3 is later being used to derive detailed product characteristics where I am able to get it if i map 1 COPA characteristic to full length product hierarchy value.
What is the purpose of splitting them into 3 levels if there is no other functionality of this piece of info in COPA?
Thank you.
Regards,
Sebastian

Looking for standard IDOCs for Currency Codes and Product Hierarchy

Hi,
Does anyone know what the standard outbound IDOCs there are for Currency codes and their descriptions and for the Product Hierarchy and their descriptions?
Cheer

Hi,
I don't know about Product Hierarchy but if you want to send Currency codes
I believe the easiest way would be to create an raport with a select statement that would invoke an ABAP Proxy to send those codes with descriptions
