Query Regarding Default Product category set up in SRM server

HI SAp Gurus,
Plesae note that I have created one dummy product category - Test under R3MATCLASS using TC - COMM_HIERARCHY and set in the extended attribute of the root organization level.
Also done the validation in BBP_DOC_CHECK _BADI.
In SRM portal it is reflecting the text as *Please select a product category from list* in Category field as I set in SRM server.
But when I try to select "Add To Shopping Cart" Button it displays the following error messages that -
1) Enter A comapny Code
2) Enter a unit of measure
3) Plant for follow-on document missing
4) System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
5) Error in account assignment for item 1
6) Error calling META BAPI META_CALCULATE_TAX
7) Not possible to calculate tax
8) Error occurred calling META_BAPI_DISPATCH
9) The cost center has not been assigned in the account assignment
When I select the valid product category which is replicated to SRM from ECC , it does not display any error message.
I think the dummy product category - Test which I have created directly in SRM is creating the problem . and displays an error message-
System FCSCLNT110 of purch. organization M&S Purchasing Organisation differs from doc. reference FSSCLNT480
I have also check that when i click Add to Shopping Cart Button - The item_check Badi is also triggered . When I set up the break point there for debugging purpose its not triggeing and coming up with the above error messages.
Kindly advice and do the needful.

Hi Muthu,
I confirm that have successfully created the dummy product Category at SRM server and maintained in the extended attribute tab at the root organization level.
Bu the new problem raised - a warning message - No authorization to purchase from product category - Test
For that in PFCG TC we are setting up the autorization level as Low for Startegic Purchasing Role.
But even then the great problem is - when i click add to shopping cart button the line item is not created in step 2, since I have selected the dummy product category not the one which is replicated from backend. Otherwise if i select the one which is replicated from ECC its showing me the one line item in the next screen.
Can any one please advice.

Default product category

Hi Experts,
I am having a problem with the 'default' product category function:
If I DO NOT set the indicator for making a product category as default, SRM takes the last one from the list in extended attributes?
I would like the field 'product category' in the shopping cart to be blank?
Can anyone help me?
BR. Kim

Hi,
Which SRM version are you using ?
It's a standard SAP behaviour.
Product categories have to be available into SRM !! It is a mandatory master data.
You can use method ENRICH_ITEM_DATA in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to do this.
To change data (product category...) from the catalog to the shopping cart, please use BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER badi.
Or
Implement the BADI "BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY".
Or
Implement combination of BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI as well as BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.
See the following useful pointers for detailed help and source code:-

You can use the field CATEGORY_ID in the structure BBP_OCI_ENRITEM for the Product Category.

Configuring product category and inventory product category set id

Hi,
In DAC we are shown the inventory and product category set id as $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID ..... $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID ...... $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9. I have done setups previously where the $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID has been my first category and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 and $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID9 has been my 10th category.
Is this the correct way to setup the 10 out of the box supported product category?
A colleague of mine told me that the $$PROD_CAT_SET_ID and $$INV_PROD_CAT_SET_ID is obsolete from 7.9.5 . If that is the case then where do we configure the 10th category?
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Swakshar Kundu.

could someone kindly respond to this pl?

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

Transfer product category from catalog to SRM with 2 BE systems

Hello experts,
We are having an issue when transfering products from the SRM-MDM Catalog though OCI, since we have an SRM extended classic scenario connected to 2 backend systems.
When the information is downloaded to SRM, the product category is changed and a "default" is assigned.
SAP has confirmed this issue happens because there are 2 entries in table COMM_CATEGORY for this value (even though they are clearly differentiated by backend system).
In our case, let's say Product Category "OS" (Office Supplies) exists in both backend systems, and it seems the system only searches for "OS" instead of doing a link to the logical system somehow.
How can I implement BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER in order for the system to use the right Product Category? Should I map one the backend system in one of the custom fields or is ir possible to somehow get the backend system in some other way?
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi Gilberto,
You should use the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi to also define the relevent category GUID during transfer, in this way you can make the category unique and the default will not be selected.

Jason

Product Category Description 2 in SRM missing

Hello,
we have the issue, that the Product Category Description 2 is needed in the SRM System. The replication from ERP just giving Product Category Description 1. We are running SRM 7.0 and habe ECC 6.0 (EHP4) as Backend.
What would be the best way to solve this?
1. Enhance the master data replication and
2. Enhance the dataobject Product Category in SRM with the field wgbez60 to store the data
How can an enhancement to the replication be done? Is there a BADI as for vendors available?
How the middleware program need to be changed?
Thanks for your reply
Regards

Hi. In that case....
Go to BBPSC01 in the GUI, get the search help name from the category field.
Go to SE11 and change the search help to add a new field and put in a search help exit just like any other search help.
This way you can use the search help exit to read both descriptions from the backend and populate the search results.
This will allow users to see both descriptions when searching.
After they choose a category they will only see 1 description in the cart though.
You could implement a custom field and use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI to populate the second description. It will be shown in a different section on the cart though.
Alternatively you could look at changing the templates, that would be quite tricky for something this complex though.

Dave.

How Product category contract replicate from SRM to ECC?

HI, dear experts:
     I work with SRM 7.0.   I have reliazed that contract with product ID replicated to ECC , it is a standar way.   But the contract without Product ID ,only product category and description    cann't be replicated to ECC.    why?   how I do ?
    Please tell me ,thanks very much.
Jesse.

Hi, Muthu
I made e some change in ECC . and the error info is "Combination item category W /account assignment category U not defined" in BD87 .
     item category 'W' is material group in ECC.
how will i do ?
   thank you
Hi, Muthu
     I made the setting in ECC to permit 'Combination item category W /account assignment category U', and the contract can reach the ECC.    in ECC, the contract item category is 'W' (material group).      actually, in ECC ,material group contract can be created wihtout 'W'.    the MM consultant also don't except 'W' as item category, should as empty.   Will I do some change in SRM . how to do ?
thank you again
Hi, Muthu
     By testing, I found the situation:
    when creating contract, in item, if I select Item Category as 'Product Category' , then I can't input 'Product ID' ,'Unit', 'Price', etc.   I can only input main info such as 'Target Quantity' 'Target Value' etc.
     when the contract is generated in ECC.     the item category is 'W' , Target Quantity is empty, Price is empty, the Target value that is input in SRM    is disapeared,   in other words, this kind of contract don't have price (value) .
      is it normal?
      my business expect it is like with product ID. can this be realized?
detail 'W' can be known from url:

Query regarding the message being set for out of office in core reply body

Hi I am using this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh532556(v=exchg.80).aspx for setting the automatic reply message out of office.
The issue i am facing is that newline characters seem to be ignored by ReplyBodyMessage property http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/exchangewebservices.replybody.message(v=exchg.150).aspx
Its replacing the new line chars with a space char. Is there some way around this of making message property accept newlines etc.
Any sort of direction would be great help
Thanks
Madhur

You should be using HTML Markup if you want to put new lines in eg
OofSettings oof = service.GetUserOofSettings("[email protected]");
oof.ExternalReply = "test line 1 test line 2 test line3";
oof.State = OofState.Enabled;
service.SetUserOofSettings("[email protected]", oof);
Cheers

How to Use Default Item Category in a Shared Instance

Hi Gurus,
Hope you all are doing well.
We have very critical issue. Infact we are implementing Oracle 12.1.3 for a Customer who is using a shared instance with another country. Infact the other country has already set Default Item Category Set, Now we also want ours.
How to Achieve the same, Please let me know.
We are also defining PO Approval Group Item Category range wise but there our category is not reflecting.
Please suggest me how to go about this.
Regards,
Aditya

Hi Mahendra,
Shared instance means our customer has one single Business in Differennt Countries.
So they have already implemented for Indonesia Business and they have their own Ledger, OU and Inv Orgs etc.
Now we are implementing for India Business. So Default Category has been set by Indonesia team already.
But according to standard functionality of Oracle Default Category Set only reflect everywhere.
So the issue is we want to also use our category so that it will reflect while Creating POs, In Approval Group and in other place.
How to achieve the same ?
I hope this will give you the clarity.
Regards,
AdityaFor one functional area we can have only one default category set
you need to define different categories in the flexfield value set...ex PO Item Category
so after defining them..you should be able to see them in item categories in purchasing approval groups
Also check if any values are been defaulted from the value set of the segment..
Like say..if value set has been set to dependent..with some default value...in that case you need to attach differnet value set to it..with new values..

Product category discription in the shoping card

Hello SRM gurus,
When the user is trying to create a shoping card , it shows me the last product category discription. I want to make it as a blank so that i can select my desired product category. Can i achieve it instead of last product category discription.
Note: SRM 5.0 I given * in the ext.att
Any clue is appreciated.
Raman

Hi. To get around this you can create a dummy material group called "Please select from list" or something and make it the default for all users in PPOMA_BBP.
Then use the BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to make sure that if the material group has not been changed to a valid one issue an error.

SRM product category replication issue

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the product category from ECC to SRM
I have run the R3AS, but no success,
In SRM SMQ2 no entry created
In ECC SMQ1 no entry created
In R3AM1 "DNL_CUST_PROD1" is running status, not changing to green
I also found that
In R3AM1 DNL_CUST_BASIS3 also running and both the status is block
Please help to resolve status.
Thx
Jai

Hello Roy,
Kindly follow the below steps to resolve the issue here.
1) Maintain the table TBLSYSDEST in both SRM and ERP system with regards to the logical system and Technical and Dialog rfc's.
Also assign the MW_admin in the rfc user.Register the queues with * smqr.
2) Follow the sap note 720819 and maintain all the 5 tables correctly.
3) Before you start the download, you must use transaction SE38 to execute the report BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW in the EBP system. In the 'User' field, enter the consumer name that you selected (for example, "SRM").
Select the radio button depending on whether service products should be active or not. The report starts with the default settings in test mode.
4) Ensure that the table CRMATAB in ERP system holds the entries after the step 1. IF it is blank then follow the sap note 1498111 and run the report SMOF_FILL_CRMATAB in SRM.
5) Also check for the R3-Guid in the tables CRMMLSGUID (SRM system) and CRMPRLS (ERP system ). Both should be identical with the logical system.
Kindly abort and load the object again, it should work fine.
Also to replicate the new material groups, you need to trigger the delta load.

Table where product category assigned to supplier is stored in SRM

Hi,
We are on SRM 7.0.
We have replicated material groups from ECC as product categories in SRM and vendor master also into SRM. Now I log into SRM portal as strategic purchaser and go to the following tab.
Strategic Purchasing->Business Partner-> Here I choose an existing supplier, open it up ...go to the Bidder data tab->Categories. Under categories I do an F4 help and choose one of the available product categories and save the entry.
Where is this information about supplier and product category combination stored in SRM. Which tables?
Request you to shed some light on this.
Regards,
Nikhil

HI
there is no relation like that.
some customer expects this facility
Product category vs supplier
prod category - Building equipments - DLF
- telecoM - HUTCH
Try bbpfrg tables.

Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

Hello Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sofiane

Hello,
We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
Could it be a new bug in SP11?
Thanks and best regards,
