Punchout Catalog product category - Default product category mapped

Hi,
Currently we are getting default product category even though punchout catalog is sending different prooduct categories?
We are using UNSPSC categoires and even punchout categories also same but default product category is coming not the punch out product category. Please note that if i click on Describe requirement then one default product category is coming up so same product category is coming for punch out catalog items.
Can you please give me some idea how this is picking up.
thanks
Ravi

GL Account/Product category mapping not working in transported client

We have implemented SRM 5 and an Ecc 6.0 backend.
We have transported the GL Account /Product category mapping config from the DEV client to the Quality client. In the quality client we run BDLS to set the correct backend system for the GL account/product category mapping.
When we create a shopping cart, GL accounts are not determined. We have noticed that in table BBP_DET_ACCOUNT, the backend system is still pointing to the DEV client backend system not the quality client backend system. Why is this?
Do we have to always manually reset this config in every client that we transport this table if we have new or changed entries?

Iprocurement punchout category mapping R12

Hi,
I am experiencing some problems on setting the category mapping for Punchout (XML) in Oracle
Iprocurement.
I have
1) setup a content zone for the punchout. In the content zone the key1 and supplier have the same value (i.e. TEST01)
2) Created a store and connected the content zone to the store.
I tried to do a requisition and I receive the message that the category XYZ is not configured for Purchasing.
Is it expected as I need to define the category mapping.
As per user guide the mapping should be performed in XML gateway. For Example if I have
the cateogory ABC in Oracle, according to metalink and userguide i should do something like this:
Category: Item_category
Direction: IN
Key 1: TEST01 (Supplier Name)
Internal Value: ABC
External 1: XYZ
External 2: NULL
My problem is that in Rel 12 the form has changed and there is no documentation for it, basically on metalink it says
to refer to the documenation to R11. The new form has the following field
Category Code: Item_category
Standard Code: ?????
Oracle Value: ABC
Description: Optional
From trading partner value: XYZ.
So my issues are the following.
a) What should I put in Standard Code (Lov is UNIVERSAL, CXML etc)
b) Where is the old key1 field? How can now oracle identify that I want to do the mapping for that specific supplier?
Should i put the supplier in standard code?
I really do not understand.
I tried many combinations and none of them works.
please kindly help
Francesco

As unsaid. the functionality is the same as per rel 11. We where using a customized responsibility and I was accessing a similar form, but not the right one!

How to create a Catalog (Product/Service) & TAX issues

SRM Guru's
Product Ver: SRM 5.0 : ECC 6.0 ( No CCM or Service Master )
TAX S/w: Vertex ( O )
As of now:    We are planning to implement a vanilla SRM-ECC (in ext. classic). We are into Indirect procurement w/limit orders.
Catalog:
I want to create a Catalog ( UNSPSC or 1 level company catalog),
       1. Can this be created in ECC (with out Products ) and replicated to SRM (EBP)
       2. How to go about creating it ?
       3. Can it be done with out CCM, if so how
       4. How to replicate it ? ( no CCM or middleware )
       5. Can i create it in EBP ? if so, plse say how..
TAX:
Vertex mentioned that, Tax codes will be mapped to services, in our case, since we dont have Services except a free form text describing what service is provided ( eg: "Payroll Service" ), what can be done ?
In a normal scenario, i can imagine having Service Master with all "Services", but in our situation, how can we use catalog to map to TAX codes. ?
PS: If you could, please describe/break down the relationship between
   Catalog -- Category Id -- Product -- Services/Materials
regards.,

SAP CRM 7.0 Standart B2C web Catalog Product prices are not shown

Hi CRM web channel Gurus,
We have done all XCM configurations in terms of 'b2c, isauseradm, shopadmin and ipc' components accordingly. Our catalog replicated to TREX successfully that is used ZB2C pricing procedure from ECC all condition replications are well done. On GUI, we can see the ECC condition on the product master data with tcode COMMPR01 unfortunately on the web we can not see the prices of catalog products.
Moreover after adding a product to shopping basket through completion of the order process then pricing procedure calculates true price that both seem on the web and tcode CRMD_ORDER in terms of checking out ECC conditions.
Is there any missing customizing IPC entries on XCM or RFC destination error on Middleware Parameter in terms of SAPCRM_SPC parameters. Could you please help in order to solve this issue?
all your answers help will be appriciated.
Thanks in Advance
Fahrettin

Hi Mark,
In the Shopadmin for our shop that we are using IPC pricing for the Product catalog
That's exactly true that all of the products condition data are shown 0,00 in terms of enable pricing analysis in the XCM this should allow you to see the Condition data that is resulting in the 0,00 price in the webshop. How can I show the true condition data that is resulting without 0,00 accordingly?
I I have also checked transaction SM53-VMC log display that checked out the logs there is no error log for 1 week on there and the last error log shown below;

Ordering non catalog products in B2B

Hello,
We would like to allow a B2B user to search and order products not in our catalog, but are valid products in R/3. Our assumption was we could set the parameter enable.nonCatalogProducts in the XCM to True, and this would work. Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. . When searching for a valid non catalog product, the search results say No products were found. Entering the non catalog product directly in the shopping cart also yields the product was not found message. We are running SAP E-Commerce 5.0, and the IsaQuickSearch code appears to only check the B2B catalog for results in the search, and no reference to the enable.nonCatalogProducts setting.
I saw a thread from 2007 that said the enable.nonCatalogProducts was only for CRM, and not E-Commerce. Is this still the case? Is there a setting to enable the non CRM ISA system to search R/3 if it does find the product in the catalog, or will this need to be a customization?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven

Hi,
Are those R/3 products are replicated to CRM system?
XCM parameter "enable.nonCatalogProducts " is applicable for ISA and you can order non-catalog products
through direct entry in the order transaction.
But products must exist in the CRM system to use this feature.
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Sql Anywhere product road map

Hello, all
Our company is about to start a new large project soon.
Several DB providers are being evaluated, among them SAP SQL Anywhere.
Since this is going to be a product line for the next 15-20 years, we need to know if SAP has road map for SQL Anywhere.
The vagueness of SQL anywhere future is currently the biggest drawback for us, since technically it is an excellent solution.
If anyone can point me to the product road map, it would very helpful.
Thank you
Arcady

Hi Arcady,
As far as I know, SQL Anywhere is alive and well. In addition to being offered as an product for sale to end users and OEMs, it is part of, or included with, many other SAP solutions. For example, SQL Anywhere is included as part of Business Objects and the SAP Mobile Platform, and SQL Anywhere data synchronization (MobiLink) is currently in beta as a new offering for the Hana Cloud Platform.
There is a recent product roadmap for SQL Anywhere posted on SAP Service Marketplace, which you should be able to access if you have an account.
Development is continuing on SQL Anywhere and a new release is planned for this year (I don't believe a firm date has been announced yet).
Hopefully this information helps to address your concerns. If not, please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions about the future of SQL Anywhere (firstname dot lastname at sap dot com).

Non-Catalog Product Blocking (SAP ISA)

I am attempting to implement non-catalog product blocking. Currently it works when creating a new transaction. When changing an old transaction it does work. I have attempted to use the SAP Note (but they only mention a change to a .java file without giving the change). Does anyone have any information.
Thanks

I meant when changing an old transaction it does not work.

Questions about punchout catalogs in SRM 7.0

1) Does SRM use any encryption when sending the catalog URL and the user ID and password to the punchout catalog.
2) When the Punch out catalog sends back the data to SRM, are we exposing the SRM server to internet? (opening up a port etc)
This could be a possible security risk
3) How is session management handled? suppose 3 users are using the catalog simultaneously, how does the punchout catalog know , which items to transfer , where?
4) How can we ensure that the punchout vendor is charging the correct prices as agreed in the contract and not changing them?
5) If it is decided that all the items in the catalog be stored as product masters in SRM and a contract is maintained for them, is it possible to do a price check against that contract , at run time when the shopping cart is created ?
6) Can the UNSPSC code sent by the vendor in the OCI data be stored in a std field in the shopping cart?
Regards
Kedar

Hi Kedar,
1) For enabling the xml variant of the oci, we need to pass two parameters in the call structure.
~xmltype = ESAPO3.5
~xmlDocument -????
What should be the value of the xmlDocument parameter?
As per the Document :"In this parameter the XML file that must correspond to one of the schemas above is transferred as a Base64-coded character set."
So should it be a file name or file path??
Also where do we get the file ? Could you provide an example of this parameter maintained in SRM?
The value is as defined, it looks for the schema used, in the case of ESAP0-3.5 it should be the OpenCatalogInterface.xsd as defined in the documentation. I will attach the xsd for you to see, it should refer to the xml file contained within the HTML form submitted
2) Does the OCi support any version of xml, provided a suitable reference file is provided? can it support pidx or cxml?
I am not sure here, basically, we take the xml document passed and move it into the integration engine where it is parsed using the transformation BBP_OCI_XML_TO_RFC, i.e. inside function MAP_XML_TO_ITABS we call this if the xmltype = ESAP0-3.5
IF xml_type = 'ESAPO-3.5'.
Transfrom OCI XML data via XSLT to RFC structures
    TRY.
        CALL TRANSFORMATION bbp_oci_xml_to_rfc
          SOURCE XML IV_XML_DOCUMENT
          RESULT sc_items = lt_sc_items.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO lr_exception.
     CATCH cx_xslt_runtime_error.
        RAISE xslt_failure.
    ENDTRY.
ENDIF.
I guess if the XML type is not interpreted then you'll get an xslt failure
3) When the supplier is sending the UNSPSC code, which field in the shopping cart is it copied?
I didn't see any field by the name External category ID in the std. shopping cart. Is this copied to the Product category field?
It is (I think, I haven't fully checked this in the coding) reffered to the Product Category field, the mapping for external product category is decided in Form map_product_category
IF NOT iv_ext_schema_type IS INITIAL OR
     NOT iv_ext_category_id IS INITIAL.
    PERFORM get_external_category_guid USING iv_ext_schema_type
                                             iv_ext_category_id
                                    CHANGING cv_category_guid
                                             cv_error.

Punchout Catalog-Sending Email value to supplier catalog

Hi,
I have configured punchout catalog for one supplier from customizing>>defining external web services in SRM. We have to send user's email ID to supplier catalog page so that this will be unique value which will identify user. can anyone please suggest me how to send SAP SRM email value to supplier.
I could able to send SAP SRM userID to supplier by setting parameter value as "SY-UNAME" and type as sap filed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satish Aralkar

Hi,
Please implement the BADI BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH for passing additional parameters.
Here is IMG description.
Transfer Additional Parameters
Use
With the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH, you can transfer additional parameters to an external Web Service, such as a product catalog or a vendor list.
The SRM Server always calls the BAdI when an external Web Service is called up. You can modify the BAdI to your requirements, for example, in order to transfer dynamic data that could not be imported via system tables.
Standard settings
In the standard the Business Add-In is active. The default coding is carried out automatically. The standard implementation is only run for the business type E-Forms.
The BAdI is reusable.
The BAdI provides the following methods:
CAT_CALL_ENRICH
Activities
You can transfer additional name-value pairs to the Web Service:
1. Create a new BAdI definition (see Implementation).
2. Add new entries to the internal table
ct_post_values. The table has the line category SAVWCTXT . Enter a field name and a value for each entry. Do not enter a field index.
Example
You wish to order business cards and you want to provide the text for the cards to the vendor (Implementation CL_IM_BBP_BUSINESSCARDS).

Masa

Not able to Login to Punchout Catalogs from SRM 7 portal

Hi Experts,
We are upgrading from SRM5.0 to SRM7.0.
We have 2 development boxes each for SRM5 and SRM7.
The problem is Vendor Pucnhout URLs are not opening from SRM7 portal. It opens the login screen asking userid/password.
I have compared the IMG activity (Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.)) (The maintenance screen for general product catalog data ) . The User id and password are set same in SRM5 and SRM7.
When I apply the userid/password (that is set under IMG) on the punchout site opened from portal, then the vendors site is not accepting it.
Do we need to have different userid/password to make punchout catalogs working from SRM7?
if yes, how can that be done?
Thanks,
Chandu

The punchout URLs are working after enabling third party cookies.
Path for IE is
