Product hierarchy/categories migration

Hello all,
I would like to migrate some product categories via LSMW and I can't find nor a BAPI nor an IDOC type.
Futhermore I tried to generate ALE interface for function module CRMXIF_HIERARC_PROD_SAVE but I can't find the relevant business object type.
So if you know a way to migrate product categories or the relevant Business object type please let me know.
Regards,
Benoî

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

Product hierarchy level in TPM Pricing condition records

Hi all,
we're setting up TPM scenarios in CRM7.0.
A question arosen about the level of the product hierarchy we need to create pricing records.
We have a 5 level product hierarchy structure and we're using the CRM feature to spread the product category at the lates level while creating trade promotion. In example if the user put in the product category tab a level 1 category the system spread down to the 10 level 5 underneath.
My question is: shall i generate pricing records at that level (lev5) or can i create the pricing records at higher level and keep the campaign dtermination one at the lowest?
Appreciate any reply
Regards

Hi Carmine,
It's not mandatory to create conditions at the lowest level, but my recommendation is to keep a match between the level you allow users to plan their promotion and the level of the condition records.
However depending on the scenarios, it may be valid to do otherwise. Some examples:
- A user assign a Level1 Category, and it's exploded into 5 lower categories. Then he creates a trade spend exception for 1 of the categories, the conditions should have (at least) the same level in order to create this exception.
- A user assign a Level1 Category, and it's exploded into 5 lower categories. The user wants to create only 1 condition at a higher level, then yes it can make sense to have condition with the higher level.
An option to allows both would be to have different condition generation type (one for High Level planning and one for lower level).
Some additional thoughts:
The feature that "explode" the high level category into lower categories, was developed for customers that wanted to restrict their users in planning at a lower level. It also helps to ensure a KAM does not create a condition for a whole Brand, but only to the level he's allowed.
The system is build to manage a high number of conditions.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Product hierarchy in the material master record

Hi,
I am handig Data migration project.
This is related to Product Hirerarchy.
I one business Product Hirerarchy have been configured. But in another buisiness, Product Hirerarchy has not been configured.
There are some common materials using by both business processes.
For coomon mateials if I am maintaining Product Hirerarchy value in the material master record, is there any impact on business which is not being used Product Hirerarchy. Whether it will stop / impact on business processes.
Can you explain plz
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi karthink,
Thanks for your inputs.
we are meging two servers. In that in one server, product highrechy have been configuredand in another server not configured.
There are some materials with the numbers calling as a common parts exists in both servers.
ex: plat 0001 in one server 1 & plant 0002 in server2
Common part is : m1
plant 0001 not using product hierarchy and plant 0002 not using product hierarchy,.
After golive, all the common parts are being used by both plants and same basic data 1 view.
If we are maintaing product hierarchy in the basic data 1 view, it will flow into sales view as well.
Then what about impact on the plant 0001 business since it is not using product hierarchy.
In the configuration, is there any settings to activate / deactive product hierarchy at sales area level.
Is there any impact on MM / FICO side.
Please explain.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Product Hierarchy Change - Need help

Hi,
We have a CRM 4.0 ISA for e-commerce scenario. The Production environment is LIVE now and we have a Product Hierarchy (with more than 2400 categories in multiple levels). The Settypes assigned have both SAP standard as well as custom settypes. The catalog for webshop has been created with Automatic Assignment with categories transferred from the current Product Hierarchy.
There has been a radical change in the business alignment because of which the categories are changing and the hierarchy is going to change completely.
I need a solution where without shutting down the production (or with minimal week end shutdown), where we can create the new hierarchy and transfer the existing products to the new hierarchy. The problem that i am facing is that the SAP standard and Custom settypes that are currently assigned to the existing hierarchy does not allow me to assign to the new hierarchy that i am trying to create in the system in parallel. I would be good if i can some how create the new hierarchy and keep it ready before we can shut off the existing hierarchy.
Also, do we have any way to transfer products in one hierarchy to another hierarchy? (We can recategorize within the same hieararchy, but need to know if we can do it inter-hierarchy)
Also is it possible to bring the hierarchy and the assigned products from DEV / QA system to PROD?
Please help with your inputs.
Shankar

Hi
As previously said, the changed product hierarchy value will beocme applicable only for the new documents you are going to create. For the old documents, the older PH levels exists, it wont get automatically change.
Also, the infostructures also will hold the old values for the old transactions.
So it will be better to archive /delete the data so far in those structures and hten enable it for hte new PH values. Else, you cannot arrive at a conclusion based on PH levels, as the same level will imply different things at different points of time.
Hope this helps.
Reward if this helps.

is it possible..? or any workaround for this situation..?
2.can we assign application "sale" to two product hierarchy..? as far as i know it is not possible..
Thanks,
gaurav

Hi Tanya
My issue is got sovled with SAP note 1398619 .However, for the second issue there is no finding.

Product hierarchy ID lost after transport

Hi experts,
could you please help me with the following problem: we have made customizing of the mapping of imported catogeries to the categories in the EBP for a schema.
The mapping is as follows: Imported category, Product hierarchy, Product category, The customizing was transported successfully but the product hierarchy ID field is empty in the target system although the hierarchy ID exists in the target system.
Any ideas what can be the problem?
Thanks for your help.
Tomas

Just as Info,
I needed to go for deletion of those characteristics - quite some work, like:
1. delete all where-used entries for the characteristics in ALL CLIENTS of this system (important: e.g. planning layout - recommended to change and not simply delete, because the change can be transported)
2. when then trying to delete characteristics (with "unlock" in KEA0 > value fields) - tons of tables and strucutres popped up, where this data element is still needed - follow note 353257
3. generate best practice operating concern new (10UK in our case)
4. create PAPH1 etc. new from table MARA (not mvke in our case - depends)
all good - hopefully no issues after transport - we will see.

Product hierarchy doesn't works in ECC 6.0

Hello guys!
I'm working in a project that migrate to ECC 6.0 and now is facing an error in Material Master (MM01) when try to select a product hierarchy in Basic Data 1 view.
When the matchcode of product hierarchy is used, the "Next level" button of popup windown doesn't open the product hierarchy. I check with an another consultant that don't remember the SAP note that fix it.
Anyone knows this SAP note?
Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo.

Is your setup of product hierarchy consistent ? How many levels have you defined ?
In ECC 6.0 can you let us know the support pack & the patch level details (if not sure, obtain this info from your basis person)
Also it would help if you can upload screenshots of the setup done for the product hierarchy & the issue you face in material master.
Just for your info, I am on ECC 6.0 & do not face this issue.

Mass Update of Product hierarchy in all CRM Open Sales Orders

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement in my project wherein I have to update product hierarchy details with new values in all Items of CRM Open sales orders.
If suppose I have a text file which has the details of Open Orders & new product hierarchy which i have to update, then would it be recommended if I use BDC for this task. Can I Call Transaction CRMD_ORDER?
If someone has already gone through such requirement, Can you please suggest me how to proceed with this requirement. Using BDC or any other way which I can proceed with?
Thanks in advance !!!
Regards,
Nitish.

You are correct in indicating that Exchange rate type field is not seen in Header data of sales order. I checked screen layouts for various screens for sales order data and this field is not suppressed. The only reason could be that this field is not used in sales order screens
If you are interested, you could also check in the following way
1. Go to SE11, enter database table as VBAK
2. Once inside data dictionary table, click where used list button, select programs and screens and execute
3. click continue (don't select background)
4. now you would have list of programs and screens, this table is used
5. now start another session and go to transaction SE51
6. indicate program name as SAPMV45A and screen numbers as listed in step 4. you can check all screen numbers to see whether Exchange rate type field is listed in sales order layout.
7. Of particular interest would be screen number 4311 as this contains Financial accounting data & 4303 Billing data
8. you can check screen layout for screen 4311 & 4303. you would see Exchange rate type field is not indicated.
9. in case you could find this field in any screen, you could ask your ABAP consultant to add this field in the layout screen.
Hope this answers your question

Pricing issue with Product hierarchy - Urgent

Hello,
I have an issue on pricing determination with product hierarchy.
I created product hierarchy as following,
level1 - A0001
level2 - A0001B0001
level3 - A0001B0001C0001
Then, assigned A0001B0001C0001 to material D in material master.
I created condition record with A0001B0001C0001(level 3), the system found the condition sucessfully when I created a sales order with material D.
However, I created condition record with A0001(level1) but the system didn't get the price when I created the sales order with material D. Since A0001B0001C0001 belongs to A0001, the system is supposed to get the price from the condition record with A0001...
Could you please let me know how to fix it?

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your kind explanation.
Here is the access sequence I defined. I wonder if there is anyway I can define PRODH1, PRODH2, PRODH3 in access sequnce the same way with customer hierarchy so that the system can check higher level data. If it's not allowed, I think I should define routine in requirement as you advised. Thanks!

Different product hierarchy in sales order and in service order

Dear experts,
In VA03, I notice that
- under Line Item > Sales B, there is a field Product Hierarchy
- under Line Item > Account assignment, there is a field Order. From here, it links to a service order. In the service order, I can see a field Product Hierarchy too.
I would like to know if there is an implication when the field Product Hierarchy in sales order and in service order are different. Is it possible that this will cause an inconsistency?
Usually these two fields have the same value, since the value in sales order is copied from service order. However, in my case, the product hierarchy is changed/updated in service order, but not in sales order.

Hi,
We have document pricing procedure maintained at two levels for Sales order or Billing type.
The pricing procedure is determined based on SAles Area Customer pricing procedureDocument Pricing procedure+pricing procedure.
Example :For Sales Document type the document pricing rpocedure will be A and for billing type 'B"
Sales Area1A+Pricing procedure A
Sales Area1B+Pricing procedure B
Now A will be maintained in VOV8 and B will be maintained in VOFA.So two pricing procedures.

"Creation" of location product hierarchy

Hi Experts
I know that a location product hierarchy can be "generated" by combining a location hierarchy and a product hierarchy. But for our business requirement we cannot use a generated location product hierarchy. This is because we have 1000'ds of products and for each product the parent location -child locations can be different. That is for product A if parent is location L1 and children are L2 and L3 then for product B the parent can be L1 but the children can be different say L5 and L4. There can be 1000ds of location parent - children combinations like this and it is impossible to model this using a location hierarchy.
So i want to know if there is a way to directly create a location product hierarchy and manually add members to it. Please advise
Thanks
Saradha

I have found another way to make it work. Iam going to try using the concept of planning product and check how it goes.

Issue in Hierarchy data upload from R/3 for info object Product Hierarchy.

Hi,
I am trying to upload the hierarchy data from R/3 system for Info Object Product Hierarchy.
Insted of business content info objects (0PRODH, 0PRODH1, 0PRODH2, 0PRODH3, 0PRODH4, 0PRODH5, 0PRODH6), we are using customized objects (ZPRODH, ZPRODH1, ZPRODH2, ZPRODH3, ZPRODH4, ZPRODH5, ZPRODH6).
In transfer rules the mapped is as specified below
Fields => Info Objects.
0ZPRODH1 => ZPRODH1
0ZPRODH2 => ZPRODH2
0ZPRODH3 => ZPRODH3
0ZPRODH4 => ZPRODH4
0ZPRODH5 => ZPRODH5
0ZPRODH6 => ZPRODH6
Now, when I schedule the Info Package, it is ending with an errors
"Node characteristic 0PRODH1 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH2 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH3 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH4 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH5 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH"
"Node characteristic 0PRODH6 is not entered as hierarchy charactersitic for ZPRODH".
when i tried to load by flat file, there is no issues. But, flat file loading is not allowed for us.
Please let me know any possible solution to handle this issue.
Thanks.
Regards,
Patil.

Hi voodi,
Insted of using the info object 0PRODH1, we should use customized info object ZPRODH1 which I added already in the external characteristic in Hierarchy.

Patil.
