Product Hierarchy from R/3 to BW

Hi
I have a problem with product hierarchy in BW. First, i extract master data for material (0Material, infoobject), but attribute 0PROD_HIER was not update, all records has this value in blank. After that, i extracted hierarchy from R/3, with datasource 0MATERIAL_LPRH_HIER, and hierarchy was activated in BW without problems. Now my problem is how to insert the material en hiearchy, as i have it in R/3, i think that it should be when i extract the hierarchy, but it not happened. So how can i insert the whole material in their node as they are in R/3??
Thanks a lot...regards

Product replication from R/3 to CRM

Hi Experts,
Project: I'm implementing a Sales and Marketing project and the scope involves Activity, Lead & Opportunity Management
Background: I've successfully done all the configurations. I've also migrated all the Business Partners and Products successfully from R/3. All the customizing objects have been migrated and are in the done state. All the queues are working fine and are empty. Even the heirarchies and categories have been migrated from R/3.
Problem: Though the Products have been replicated from R/3 are not visible in the transaction commpr01.
Business Impact: The project is stuck due to this issue and i have missed the GoLive.
Would request all to share their expertise and rescue me out of this problem.
In Anticipation

Hi
Pls go through following note, it might help you
"Before data can be transferred from the ERP material master to the product master, certain Customizing information must be transferred. Once this information has been transferred without errors, the material master records can be transferred. The data is transferred using middleware. The Customizing information transferred determines, for example, how the product ID is stored in the product master and which product data can be created.
Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in this info object is relevant to the ERP material master for industries and to the ERP article master for retail. Retail users are requested to substitute:
● Article for material
● Merchandise category for material group
Prerequisites
If a product hierarchy is used in the ERP system:
● You have created the numbering scheme R3PRODHIER in the CRM system for the product hierarchy from the ERP system, making sure that the numbering scheme precisely corresponds to the structure for the product hierarchy in the ERP system (that is, structure PRODHS). This numbering scheme is essential for the data to be created correctly.
● The number of levels in the numbering scheme must be the same as the number of fields in structure PRODHS, and the number of digits for each level must be the same as the length of the corresponding field in structure PRODHS.
For more information, see in the Implementation Guide (IMG) Cross-Application Components ® SAP Products ®Product Category ® Define Category Numbering Schemes.
Features
The following information is transferred:
● Information for converting the ERP material number to the product ID
This is whether the material number is stored lexicographically in the ERP system and the length of the product ID in the database of the ERP system.
● ERP material groups
This information is transferred to the hierarchy R3MATCLASS.
● Information in the ERP material type that determines which data can be created for a product
This is transferred to the hierarchy R3PRODSTYP (product subtype). The hierarchy has two levels. The first level contains the categories MAT_ for materials and SRV_ for services. In the case of materials, the second level is a sublevel of MAT_ and contains the material types imported from ERP, each with the prefix MAT_. For example, the ERP material type HAWA (trading goods) is created as the category MAT_HAWA.
In addition, the SAP-defined CRM set types are assigned to the categories of the hierarchy R3PRODSTYP as follows:
○ The following set types are assigned to the category MAT_:
■ COMM_PR_MAT (basic data on materials)
■ COMM_PR_SHTEXT (description)
■ COMM_PR_UNIT (conversion of units of measure)
■ COMM_PR_LGTEXT1 (basic texts)
As a result, these set types are inherited by all material types.
○ The following set types are also assigned to the category MAT_ if the status Sales is assigned to the material type in the ERP system:
■ CRMM_PR_SALES (sales: distribution chain)
■ CRMM_PR_SALESA (sales: control fields, units of measure, and quantities)
■ CRMM_PR_SALESG (sales: groupings)
■ CRMM_PR_TAX (sales: taxes)
■ CRMM_PR_LGTEXT2 (sales: texts)
■ CRMM_PR_LGTEXT (texts)
● ERP product hierarchies
This information is transferred to the CRM hierarchy R3PRODHIER.
Activities
 1. Using transaction R3AS, transfer the following middleware objects for the class CUSTOMIZING:
○ DNL_CUST_PROD0 (storage form of material numbers in sending system)
○ DNL_CUST_PROD1 (material types, material groups, and product hierarchy)
○ DNL_CUST_PROD3 (material statuses in sales and distribution)
 2. Using transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, check whether the corresponding hierarchies have been created in CRM.
 3. Check in Customizing for Cross-Application Components whether the storage form (lexicographical or not) is correct for the material number transferred, by choosing SAP Products ® Basic Settings ®Define Output Format and Storage Form of Product IDs.

Hierarchy from flat file loading with errors - duplicate node names

Hello experts,
I am loading a product hierarchy from a flat file into a custom hierarchy
object. The issue is that it errors out saying I am loading
duplicates within nodes, however all node IDs within a level are unique.
It seems to be looking at the node name to determine uniqueness and I know
we have some duplication within the text there especially when you factor
in the 32 character limitation for the node name. Does anyone have an idea
as to whether it is possible to have it only consider the node ID instead
of the node name to determine uniqueness?
A colleague suggested using the link ID to fix this problem but I don't know how that field works or how to populate it.
I'm working in a BI 7.0 environment (I don't know if that makes a difference since you still have to use the 3.x objects to extract the hierarchy).
Any help would be appreciated.
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
You may wish to check this OSS Note 1026749 - Hierarchies: Consistency check for duplicate nodes and 912115 (old one)
Symptom -
When you load or activate a hierarchy it terminates with error message RH 109 or RH 211. The hierarchy contains duplicate nodes and this is not allowed. The long texts of messages RH 109 or RH 211 do not describe the reason for the problem sufficiently or they are partially incorrect.
There is uncertainty about in which cases duplicate nodes exist in a hierarchy and in which cases duplicate nodes are allowed.
Hope this helps,
Bye...

Update Product Hierarchy

I wonder how could we handle master data which are changed frequently (from the data source), especially for the InfoObject with hierarchy?
Currently, I extracted product hierarchy from SAP-CRM. But users tend to change material in the product hierarchy from one node to another node more often. I'm not sure whether there is any solution to handle this kind of change in SAP-BW and queries?
I wonder if I don't set the hierarchy in the infoObject as time-dependent, is there any solution? I don't think using full update every time could not solve this problem.
Any suggestion would be sincerely appreciated.

Hallo Wachira
look at table RSHIEDIR, there BW stores all information about the loaded hierarchy nodes. If you load a hierarchy with a different HIENM or a different HIER_VERS, BW will create in this table a new row with primary key hierarchie ID HIEID and object version OBJVERS (activated, modified, new or content). It doesn't matter which time intervall the hierarchie has, it can be changed whithout creating a new row in RSHIEDIR. But BW will change the relationship between the different nodes whithin a hierarchie (father - son) and also the attributes of the different nodes.
Concerning your questions:
> I don't know if the Date From and Date To shoud be
> specified every period?
Yes, for time dependent hierarchies.
> If I use the same range, data will be overwritten,
> right?
Yes, but if the hierarchie name stays the same, the nodes will be overwritten also if the range varies.
> Is there any way to know which node has been
> deleted?
I think, you have to look at table RSHIEDIR. But I suppose, the nodes won't be deleted but their relationship to other nodes may change - possibly they will be unassignd. How to access table RSHIEDIR, see these threads:

Level in product hierarchy ??

Hi
Some body can explain me about the levelin product hierarchy ??
Diefinition of level ?
Purpose of level??
Thanks

Product Hierarchy:
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.
Product Hierarchy Number of chars at Various level
In the standard system, the product hierarchy consists of up to 3 levels. The first and second levels have 5 digits and the third level has 8. The maximum number of digits is 18 and the maximum number of levels is 9.
You can define hierarchy nodes at the individual levels of the product hierarchy.
The product hierarchy can be structured via DDIC structure PRODHS. In the standard system, a product hierarchy can be created with up to three levels. The individual levels can contain the following number of digits:
Level number of allowed digits
1 5
2 5
3 8
This can be changed as of Release 3.0, where it is possible to extend the maximum number of levels to 9.
If you want to change the standard setting of PRODHS, e.g. you want to change the number of levels, proceed as follows:
1. Create an appropriate domain in the Data Dictionary (type CHAR with the required length).
2. Assign these domains to the standard data elements PRODH1, PRODH2, ..., PRODH9.
Please note that you should use these standard data elements.
3. Change the structure PRODHS by creating or deleting fields with reference to the data elements.
Choose ZZPRODHN as field name, where n is the position of the field in the structure PRODHS.
You want to change the structure of the product hierarchy from 5/5/8 digits to 5/5/5/3. Proceed as follows:
Create the following domains:
ZPRODH3 with length 5, category CHAR,
ZPRODH4 with length 3, category CHAR,
Change structure PRODHS:
Structure PRODHS in the standard system:
Structure Fields Data element Category Length
PRODHS ->
PRODH1 PRODH1 CHAR 5
PRODH2 PRODH2 CHAR 5
PRODH3 PRODH3 CHAR 8
Changes according to example:
Structure Fields Data element Category Length
PRODHS ->
PRODH1 PRODH1 CHAR 5
PRODH2 PRODH2 CHAR 5
PRODH3 PRODH3 CHAR 5
ZZPRODH4 PRODH4 CHAR 3

Product Hierarchy Update on Existing Sales Order

Hi,
My company business process allows sales order to be created up up to 3 months before shipping. Prior to shipping, material can have the Product Hierarchy changed and pricing can also be updated for the new product hierarchy value (Pricing record with Product Hierarchy in the search key). Our company also want to make sure we bill customers with new (correct) price.
In order to support pulling in the new price for our existing backlog (orders), so that we don't mis-bill our customers, we need a way to update the product hierarchy value on the existing sales orders that have not been shipped. Our current solution is to implement some custom logic in the Sales Order Update user exit, so that when the user clicks on the "Update" button on the Condition Screen on VA02 to manually update price, the custom logic will be invoked to re-pull the Product Hierarchy from the MARA table to overwrite the old Product Hierarchy on the sales order. Next, pricing will perform the search for new price using the updated Product Hierarchy value.
This solution has worked okay for us, but we are trying to evaluate if there is any other better way to accomplish this same request. We would prefer to implement something that is offered by SAP via configurations. We try to stay away from customization as much as possible.
Have you ever experienced something similar or do you have any idea how to support this kind of business process?
Thanks very much.

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.

Replicating Products/Catalog from SRM to MDM

I am implimenting SRM and MDM on 7.1 and SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0
I wanted to replicate catalog data from SRM. As we know each catalog record in MDM contains Product, Supplier, Info record data. I am not sure if we have to map all these in MDM or It will be mapped by SAP delivered content for replication.
I am using BBP_CCM_TRANSFER transaction in SRM to transfer data to MDM. In the selection screen I am using 'Category Hierarchy', Category ID and Language fields. I did unchek/check Force Intial Transport and P_debug. There was not much difference.
However I am getting following info messages, but unable to see any data in MDM
16.06.2010 09:27:41: Initial transfer for catalog SRM_EXTRACTED_CTLG
16.06.2010 09:27:42: Determine category TELEPHONE (5 products)
16.06.2010 09:27:42: Start of catalog transfer for 1
16.06.2010 09:27:42: catalog transfer ended
I am now stuck here. Can any one share details of the replication process and steps involved.

Hi Sudha,
Please explain your business scenario. What data you want to replicate from SRM to MDM. We can replicate Suppliers, Contracts and Product Master from SRM to MDM through XI. Make sure you hae configured XI settings for that. You have to download the pre-delivered XI content from SAP Markeplace. Please check Note # 1177779 & 1177780 regarding that.
We can use following reports in SRM to replicate following data in MDM
BBP_CCM_Transfer_Catalog-----Product master
ROS_SUPPLIER_SEND_TO_CATALOG-----Supplier data
SRMMDM_CTR_Transfer----Contract data from SRM
In your case, you are running BBP_CCM_TRANSFER. Please check the SXMB_MONI t-code to monitor the XML messages whether XML files are processing correctly or getting stuck.
Thanks,

Transferring Product Data from SRM 7.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0

Dear SRM-MDM experts,
We are running the program BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG to transfer product data from SRM 7 to SRM-MDM 3.0 The question we have is after running the program, where do we find the file the XML file which the program has generated so we can see the results? SLG1 just shows how many products were processed. We need to see the list of the products generated.
Thanks and regards
Pedzi

Hi Pedzi,
You can find the generated XML file in MDM server. Here is the path to get the Product Data XML file.

Transfer the PR from ERP 6.0 to SRM for

Hi SRM profis,
we are using SRM 7.02 (AddOn) classic scenario. Can someone explain how to transfer the PR from ERP 6.0 to SRM for
approving only.

Hi,
I think this could not be explained in one post.
We are using the same above scenario for transferring PS or PM requisition to SRM for approval only.
Lot of conditions are set.
1.     Landscape
2.     Process -
3. Criteria for transferring and approving PReq’s in SRM should be defined in ECC
for example - The criteria which PReq’s should be transferred to SRM should be defined in a local customizing table XXXXX with the field purchasing organisation, plan account assignment type and update date of PReq.
4.   1st approver selection criteria should be setup in the ECC
5.     When creating or updating a PReq item a workflow event will be triggered to start the transfer workflow. The trigger is implemented in the PM and PS BADI workorder_update while saving the PM order or the PS network order. The same event cancels an eventually transfer workflow which just transfers a previous version of the PReq, or waits for the approval result of a previous version.
6.     The Release Strategy has to be maintained in the productive systems. Only the release codes will be defined and distributed centrally. The name of the Release Strategy can be chosen locally. It’s very important that a release strategy fits to the values of the purchase requisitions that come from SRM and that go to SRM. It doesn’t matter which release strategy. If no existing release strategy fits to the values of the purchase requisitions a classification of the new release strategies is necessary. Otherwise no classification for the new release strategies is needed.
7.     Also need to do MM specific customization , PI related and SRM related.
I think it would be too much to tell everything through a post.
Please ask a specific question then i would be able to help you more.
Thanks.

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.

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.

CO-PA: product hierarchy predefined from best practice

Hi guys,
unfortunately I have as basis a best practice system, where product hierarchy with 3 levels is already defined in CO-PA:
PAPH1     ProdHier01-1     ProdH01-1     CHAR     5     MVKE     PAPH1
PAPH2     ProdHier01-2     ProdH01-2     CHAR     10     MVKE     PAPH2
PAPH3     ProdHier01-3     ProdH01-3     CHAR     18     MVKE     PAPH3
PRODH     Prod.hierarchy     Prod.hier.     CHAR     18     MVKE     PRODH
Those ones are already assigned to a best practice operating concern:
10UK     Best Practices
1. we have 7 levels in our product hierarchy
2. I need to read it from mara and not mvke
When trying to ad product hierarchy as characteristic in KEA5 in our new operating concern, I gut the message below.
This data element is used in tons of tables and the whole precdure looks risky + after transport I might have issues again?
Creating ww* characteristics for product hierarchy is not an option, since then I would need to maintain the whole product hiearchy as characteristc values again (like before release 4.5) and this is far more than 1000 entries and is double maintenance after go live.
Deleting the best practice operating concern is also difficult, since there are several clients where customizing still sits for 10UK.
Anybody experience? What did you do?
regards
Bjoern
Here is the text from KEA5 when trying to ad mara fields (since date elment lenghts is different due to more levels):
Product hierarchy field PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new structure
Message no. KE691
Diagnosis
The definition of the product hierarchy has changed (structure PRODHS). The hierarchy field generated in CO-PA, PAPH1 cannot be adapted to the new definition, because it is already being used in structures or tables.
System Response
The field PAPH1 does not appear in the list of fields that can be selected.
It can no longer be used as a characteristic.
Procedure
If you still want to define hierarchy field PAPH1 as a characteristic, proceed as follows:
1. Display the where-used list for data element RKEG_PAPH1 in database fields using transaction SE12. For hierarchy field PAPH1 to be adapted, a data conversion must be carried out for all the tables listed!
2. First change the number of characters in the domain RKEG_PAPH1 to match the new definition of the product hierarchy, following the example below. You can do this using transaction SE11.
Structure PRODHS     Domain
Field    Length      name       Number of characters
PRODH1     3         RKEG_PAPH1      3
PRODH2     2         RKEG_PAPH2      5
PRODH3     5         RKEG_PAPH3     10
PRODH4     8         RKEG_PAPH4     18

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.

Vendor Master can not replicate from SAP R3 to SAP SRM system.

Hi All,
We face one issue when we use bbpgetvd program to transfer Vendor master from SAP R3 to SAP SRM, after I check Analysis Application log, found the following issue:
Error: No Bank Master Data Maintained No Bank Data Transferred
Error: Name/Address for Vendor Already Exists Vendor: 0015118743 Address Number 0000054208
Error: Warning: Complete Business Partner: Vendor: 0015118743 Backend: APP002TS No Transfer of Vendor Data
But I check BP in SRM and can not find vendor 0015118743 information, so could you give me any tips or suggestions to fix this issue. Is there any table in SRM system to keep Vendor Master like SAP R3?
Thanks for your kind suggestions or help in advnance!

You cannot.
Business Partner are stored in BUT000 table. I don't remember if its address number is also stored in this table.
If yes, link is done directly between both.
If not, this is the person number which is stored in BUT000. So, use your address number to get its corresponding person number using ADCP table. Then, with this person number, check in BUT000 what is its corresponding Business Partner.
Finally, with its corresponding GUID, check in VENMAP table the vendor number.

See my answer above concerning ADCP table.
