Product Proposal

Hi,
I need to implement product proposal in CICWinClient. Customers Clients frequently buy the same things. So product proposal should contain e.g. all products bougth as well in the last n orders, excluding <u>no</u> product.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Cristina

hey,
U will first have to define a display profile where in u must select view 2 cause that is valid for web client.then in define customizing filters u will have to specify for which transaction you want the top n products to be displayed select the sign as + for sales order Returns items should however contain the "-" sign.Define Product Proposal Profile and assign it to the main profile.
do not forget to maintain a top n list for the BP.
In the ic web client in teh sales order u can then click on the icon past orders and it will display the top n list

Product Proposal from IBase / iObject in Service Order

Hello Experts
We are looking for product proposal in CRM Service Order (in CRM 2007).
The product proposal should propose the IBase components (products maintained under IBase > iObject ). The IBase and iObject is maintained in Service Order header.
Here is the IBase structure:
>IBase
>>Object ABC
>>>Product 1 > Qty 10
>>>Product 2 > Qty 20
>>>Product 3 > Qty 30
Now the Products 1,2 and 3 should be proposed with respective quantity when Object ABC is entered in Service order.
I hope the requirement is clear.

Product Proposal in ERP Sales Order.

Hi Guys,
We are panning to use product proposal (PP) in ERP sales order and we are facing some challenges to fetch Price and Availability in the PP view.
Does anybody integrated PP with ERP sales order? Please provide detailed steps if any.
Please share your experience and steps to integrate this scenario.
To obtain price in PP, do we need to maintain pricing in CRM?
For availability information in PP, do we need to connect to APO? or the gATP/Availability happens via ECC to APO?
Please shed some light on this subject.
Thanks
Shree

HI Shree,
You dont have to maintain price in crm to get price in product proposals, pricing in ERP is enough for price to get populated.
For availibilty check for PP you have to maintain MRP type in material master for the products which gets populated in PP and have to maintain ATP Profile at item level.
One setting which needs to be maintained in crm is
goto spro->CRM->Transactions->Settings for ERP Transactions Maintained via CRM->Product Proposals->Assign Method schema to ERP transaction Type.
Here give the sales Org, Transaction Type and Method schema.
Please let me know if you need more information on this.
Best Regards,
Radhika

Product Proposal in CRM 4.0

Hello everybody,
Just for information I would like to know something please :
In R/3 SD we use product proposal from tables VBPV and VBPK while creating sales documents for our customers.
We would like to use just the same in our CRM and Mobile Sales environnement.
So I would like to know if there is a way to download those tables (who make the link partner/product accroding to what a partner already ordered and doesn't contain exactly the same than a PPR created in CRM which assigns a product to a group as we use for TOPN for example) to CRM or do I have to do specific work for this ?
Thank you for your reply !

E-Commerce Product Proposal issue

Hello, everybody.
This is a B2C e-Commerce scenario with Students enrolling for courses on a website. The goal is to leverage pre-existing SAP CRM e-Commerce functionality currently in use. But thre's a potential issue that could prevent the adoption of current SAP e-Commerce solution.
-->Business Issue [PRODUCT PROPOSAL]
-Catalog Access & Views: Prior to a Student enrolling in Course, there is an Eligibility check that occurs which dictates the number and type of course offered to the Consumer/Student. --> Not all courses within the catalogue must be displayed: Some logic must be carried out in CRM, so that the allowed courses for the student should be passed to the webshop.
Is there any BAdI / user exit we can implement for solving this issue? eCommerce should pass CRM the logged on BP ID (or the user ID) so that, from this ID on, the logic can be executed in CRM. As inbound parameter, the BAdI / user exit should receive the allowed courses for this students, and display only these courses (instead of the whole catalogue).
Is there any other way to solve this? (configuration) We have already considered views, but we are afraid we have too many possible scenarios (hundreds?)
Some backup information:
-Number of courses: About 300
-Number of allowed courses per student (logic result): Between 2 and 8
-The whole courses catalogue is being renovated each year
-->Business Impact
-The SAP e-Commerce application offers 2 basic business scenarios/flavors, BC2 and B2B. The B2B option delivers the Catalog determination option and customized Catalog views per Business Partner. The B2C option makes the entire Catalog available to the Consumer on the Web-shop.
Besides this, there's an extra requirement:
-->Business Issue
-Course Availability Display: In the event that a Student has qualified for a specific course/s, which has limited seats (already assigned), the System should indicate that the Course is exists, but there are no seats available (quantity = 0).
-->Business Impact
-Showing the Courses availability as zero in the case where there are not enough available seats needs to be reviewed properly and scoped.
Thank you all for your cooperation. Best regards.

Have you checked the Marketing features, Product recommendation, Personalized Recommendation etc.? See if you can use Product Association and ranking to recommend products if you don't want to show the entire catalog..

Dynamic product proposal

Hi,
I am working on ECC 6.0.
When I am working with the Dynamic product proposal in the sales order for a customer who is asssigned
active,the order quantity is not getting copied from the second sales order.However it is only copying the nelwy added materials
and not the order quantity.
It is only copying the order quantity of the materials which are existing in the first sales order.
I am using the FM SD_DPP_HISTORY.
Note : To copy the items entered in the previous sales order then I configured dynamic product proposal (DPP) in the IMG->SD->Basic Functions->Dynamic product proposal
you can configure for online sales order creation or background sales order creation
maintained the functional module SD_DPP_HISTORY in the access sequence of the product proposal procedure
and maintained the PP cust. proc. (customer product proposal) in the sales area data ...
sales tab of the customer master data
Thanks in reply.

Manohar S

Ben,
Thx, but Ive already assigned the value there and it does not work. All the settings in customizing under Dynamic Product proposal are made. But when I enter a customer in VA01 nothing happens. And as I understand it based on customer and document type, automatically a proposal can be made. Instead of adding the proposal by hand, by selecting an item proposal.
I read somewhere that you can activate product proposal but in the sales order screen (Edit Display range Product proposal active inactive) , can not be used (light grey). There is something that Iam missing, but what..?

Can the dynamic product proposal returned to a sales order be sorted by the material description?

I have created a dynamic product proposal using the customer material information record CMIR as the source. During sales order entry the product proposal sorts by material number and due to the number of materials in the CMIR the business would like to be able to sort by material description to streamline material selection. Is this possible? Is it possible to sort any of the product proposal types for a sales order by anything other than the product (material) code?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
Please check if the material you are trying to invoice has the cost estimate released properly and which is updated in the material master as the planned price.
Good Luck!!!!!
Thanks and Regards,

How to enable Product Proposal to work in CRM7.

Hi all,
We are looking into a solution in CRM7 to support displaying a list of the proposed items when user enters a BOM product on the Opportunity.
For example: The user would like to create an Opportunity with the Product A for 10 units. On the Opportunity header, after the user enters the Product A # and clicks on the Product Proposal option, system will display a list of the proposed items (including the associated components for the Product A). User will then select what component products that they want to place on the Opportunity.
I was told that if Product Proposal solution will work for the BOM product, but not sure beside having the product configured as a BOM, what else that we have to do to enable the solution to work in CRM. Any information/configuration that you can share is highly appreciated.
Also, do you know if the Product Proposal will work with opportunity in CRM7? I was told that it may only work with Quote and Sales Order.
Thanks very much.
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
Product Proposal will not work in Opportunity. It will work only with Quotation and Orders.
Refer to this link for more info.

Settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal

Hi Gurus,
How to do the configuration settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal.
I also want to know what is the difference between Item Proposal and product Proposal.
Give me your Solution.

Item proposal is the list of regularly/frequently ordered items of a particular customer. this will be useful when u are entering the sales order. it will be used to speed up the order entry process.
For that Goto VA51, enter item proposal type as MS and sales area details.
enter the customer name and the list of products and save. Assign the item proposal No in the customer master sales area data, sales tab.
create the sales order and enter the customer no and press the propose items button in the sales order.
the system will propose one box and it will display all the materials. then u can continue further.
Product proposal:
To configure product proposal, Go to IMG,SD, Basic functions, Dynamic product proposal, Maintain all the settings
**A product proposal is a list of products for a specific customer that is automatically proposed during sales document processing. You can decide for yourself which materials should be displayed as product proposals in the sales document. You can also determine the sequence in which the materials appear in the product proposal.
During sales document processing, the system displays a product proposal in the item overview according to the customer and the business transaction. It displays the material number, material description, and historical order quantites in the sales unit last used. To use a material again, you just have to copy it. The system does not run the standard checks (pricing, availability, incompletion, material determination, free goods determination and so on) until you have entered the order quantities.
The product proposal is both an entry help and an aid to sales support and promotions. It is particularly useful in Telesales, where the employee automatically receives a display of all the materials that are of interest to a particular customer. This helps them to provide appropriate advice to the customer quickly and easily. The sales document history enables you to analyse the purchasing behaviour of a customer and recognize early on if it changes, for instance, when the customer suddenly stops ordering a product.
The product proposal differs to cross-selling in that it is dependent on the customer and sales area, and is displayed in the sales document as soon as you have entered a customer. Cross-selling, on the other hand, is triggered by a material. In other words, the system proposes cross-selling materials according to the material or a characteristic of the material you have entered.
You can determine the product proposal from different data sources:
Order history
Listed materials
Excluded materials
Item proposal
Customer-material info records
Customer-specific data sources
You can combine materials from these data sources to create a product proposal. The system then accesses the data sources either online or in the background.
To define a product proposal for sales document processing, you must carry out the following activities in Customizing:
Define customer procedure for product proposal
Define document procedure for product proposal
Assign document procedure for product proposal to order types
Maintain table of origin for product proposal
Define product proposal procedure and determine access sequences
Maintain procedure determination (in background) for product proposal
Maintain procedure determination (online) for product proposal
The product proposal procedure determines how the system displays the product proposal in the sales document. For instance, if the system has accessed the order history, it determines how many columns should be displayed in the sales document, in which period intervals thehistoric order quantities should be displayed (for instance, day, week, or month), and most importantly, the sequence in which the system should access the data sources (for example, order history, listing, exclusion).
The product proposal procedure depends on the:
Customer determination procedure
The customer procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses when you create a sales document for a particular customer.
It is specified in the customer master record per sales area.
Document determination procedure
The document procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses for a certain document type. The document procedure is stored as a key in the header for the sales document type.
If you use online processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the customer and document determination procedures.
If you use background processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the sales area in the customer master and the customer determination procedure. It does not use the document determination procedure because the document type is not recognized in background processing.
Difference:
Item proposal is the list of products the customer used to buy frequently.
Product proposal is also the list of products but it will explode in the sales order, once u enter the sold to party field. But this will be based on the following criterias.
Order history
Listed materials
Excluded materials
Item proposal
Customer-material info records
Customer-specific data sources
Hope this clarifies.

Product proposal based on spare parts

We have a requirement in service InHouse repair order where the item where is the product to be repaired is selected and there have to be an action button to add a spare part. After adding the new item, the system have to show the product proposals not from the item to be repaired, but from the last spare part linked to it. Is there an standard action profile that do this? If not, can you suggest development options to do that?
Thanks

Hi Pablo
Product proposal for adding accessories in Service order would be challenging.
Please check:
IMG > CRM > Marketing > Product Proposals > Create Method Schema
There is a method schema for Accessories (000004)
IMG > CRM > Marketing > Product Proposals > IC Settings > Assign Product Proposal
Assign Method schema here to your Sales org
IMG > CRM > Business Roles > Define Business Role
Assign the Product Proposal profile to the IC Agent Role under assign function profiles dialog structure.
Also have a look at Badi CRM_PRODUCT_PROPOSAL_BADI
hope this helps

Product Proposal in ISU

Hi Experts,
Is anybody having document on Product Proposal in ISU, please share it.
In Product Proposal screen in SAP CRM 2007, There is a dropdown Customer Consumption and Start date. What is the significance and how it works.
Regards,
Ankush Singla

Hello,
The following information may be of some help for you:
Settings for the product proposal in Customizing under SAP
Utilities -> Customer Service -> CRM Integration -> Product Proposal.
The customer consumption segment is the basis for the product proposal. This is allocated to
a product catalog in the IMG. You can use customer-specific settings in the business add-in
to adjust the product proposal to meet your own requirements. For example, you can control
which products the system proposes based on the premise address or the customeru2019s credit
rating.
Billing simulation allows agents to inform customers of upcoming bill amounts or budget billing
amounts. Billing of a sample contract with the selected product is also simulated in SAP IS-U.
All the Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for the product proposal are grouped together in the
enhancement spot ISU_PRODUCT_PROPOSAL.

Are Product Selection and Product Proposal the same?
Thank you.

hi
I think they are not same
Product selection means material determination where one material swaps for anothe due to non availability.
product proposal is one which proposes commaon materials with quantity or withourt quantity which a customer regularly purchases it makes order entry easy

Online and background product proposal

Hi All,
Can you please explain the difference between online and backgroung product proposal, I tried searching on forum but could not find an explanatory answer. Please suggest?

Hi,
Dynamic product proposal can also be proposed based on the
Order history-it means that the materials which are most frequently ordered by the customer are considered as order history. So based on this the system will propose the product proposal,if we specify this order history in the access sequence of the product proposal procedure as a source.
Even system can propose product proposal based on listing&exclusion,item proposal,user specific source etc.but it is based on the source field in the access sequence.
In access sequence we have a function module SD_DPP_HISTORY.this fuction module helps the sysytem to search the database for the product proposal based on the source field.
You can access the data sources either online, in background processing, or using a combination of both. It is also possible to have a combination of both access techniques. If you want to access various different data sources, SAP recommend that you use background processing, in order to keep the system load as low as possible while working online.

Difference between Item Proposal and Dynamic Product Proposal

Dear All,
What is the difference between Item Proposal ( VA51) and Dynamic Product Proposal?
Thanks and Regards
Deepak Joshi

Hi,
In item proposal when u enter the details in the sales document you have to click on propose items to get the list
the customer regularly purchases.
While in dynamic product proposal once you specify the sold to party and press enter , system automaticall gives you
the list of the materials the customer regularly purchases, it a faster way of entry than item proposal.
please let me know if i am wrong.
Thanks,

Listing/Exclusion and Product Proposal

Hi,
The priority while creating an order is Product Proposal and then Listing/Exclusion.
At present, materials that are not a part of listing list are getting proposed due to Product Proposal.
And the order gets saved even though material is not a part of Listing List.
Is there a feasibility where Listing/Exclusion list is checked dynamically even though products are proposed due to Product Proposal.
OR
Is there a way that only Listed products are proposed?
Any pointers regarding this would be helpful
Regards,
Avinash

Dear Active,
Please refer to:
Re: Mat Listing and exclusion
Re: Listing and exclusion.......pls reply........
Re: about material listing and exclusion?
exclusion
Hope, this information may help/ guide in your requirement.
