Table relationship between hierarchy level and merchandise category

How i can have link?
2) i am having input CAWN_atwrt(Characteristic Value) and how i can reach matkl in T023 or matkl in MARA for the same article within same merchandise category.

Oracle does not support REPEATABLE READ transaction isolation level. It only supports SERIALIZABLE, READ COMMITED and READ ONLY isolation levels.
The default is READ COMMITED.
While the READ COMMITED can access all the committed data till the point of execution in transaction, READ SERIALIZABLE can access committed data till the point of start of transaction.
Another difference between two with respect to ROW LEVEL LOCKING is
Both read committed and serializable transactions use row-level locking, and both will wait if they try to change a row updated by an uncommitted concurrent transaction. The second transaction that tries to update a given row waits for the other transaction to commit or roll back and release its lock. If that other transaction rolls back, the waiting transaction, regardless of its isolation mode, can proceed to change the previously locked row as if the other transaction had not existed.
However, if the other blocking transaction commits and releases its locks, a read committed transaction proceeds with its intended update. A serializable transaction, however, fails with the error "Cannot serialize access", because the other transaction has committed a change that was made since the serializable transaction began.
Read following for clearing your concepts on transaction isolation levels and locking mechanisms

Mass updation of merchandise category in Billing doc. ------ ( IS-Retail

HI!
My problem is in regard to the Merchandise Category Reclassification in SAP IS-Retail.
My senario was that there were some Merchandise categories(MC) which were unallocated i.e they were not assigned to any Merchandise Cat. Heirarchy.
Also there was a Merchandise Category (90000001) MC_Common, which was a collection of articles that were not assigned to other MC, there were miscllanious.
But now, the above mentioned MC and articles in MC_Common have been assigned to their correct heirarchy or MC's.
What I want is, the old billing documents, which contained the articles with their old Merchandise Cat. no. gets changed such that the old merchandise cat. being displayed against the article reflects my new merchandise cat. assignment no. Without creating any new billing document.
How to go for it.
How billing doc can reflect, newly reclassified Merc. Cat.

Hi,
if you want more flexible, you could try this modified Istvan's query:
SELECT top 10 T1.ItemCode, T2.ItemName, T3.ItmsGrpNam,   SUM(T1.Quantity) as "Total Qty Sold",
SUM(T1.TotalSumSy) as "Total Amount" ,
(select sum (r.Quantity) from ODLN h
     inner join DLN1 r on h.DocEntry=r.DocEntry
     where h.DocDate>='[%4]' and h.DocDate<='[%5]'
         and r.ItemCode=T1.ItemCode) '2007 Sold',
(select sum (r.TotalSumSy) from ODLN h
     inner join DLN1 r on h.DocEntry=r.DocEntry
     where h.DocDate>='[%6]' and h.DocDate<='[%7]'
         and r.ItemCode=T1.ItemCode) '2007 Amount'
FROM ODLN T0 INNER JOIN DLN1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry INNER JOIN OITM T2 ON T1.ItemCode = T2.ItemCode INNER JOIN OITB T3 ON T2.ItmsGrpCod = T3.ItmsGrpCod

Merchandise category & hierarchy upload using LSMW???

Hi
I am trying to upload Merchandise category and hierarcy using LSMW (BAPI/IDOC method only).
For merhcandise category
I used message type W_WGRP and it is helping me in changing or reclassification of articles. But I am not able to create new merchandise category with this. I used structure E1BPE1WGR01 with "function" field with value "005, LSMW is working fine idocs are created successfully but no new Merc Cat is created.
When I used same structure with "function" field with value "009" I get error message "Class XXX does not exist or or is not valid on this date".
For Merchandise Catrgory Hierarchy
I used idoc CLSMAS but getting error message "Keyword missing for class XXX"
has anybody uploded entire hierarchy structure using LSMW ?

Sorry to say, but your problem is not resolved.
In IS-Retail, a merchandise category must first be created as a class (CLSMAS) and then also as a merchandise category (W_WGRP). Yes, you must process two IDoc per merchandise category, and in that order.
To understand how to load data using LSMW, the best approach to watch what the system does naturally. In this case, use T-Code WGSE to send the merchandise category hierarchy via ALE from one system-client to another. For understanding, you needn't configure the entire ALE scenario, just the outbound portion. Then watch the outbound IDocs be created; there's your example!
For merchandise category hierarchy (including merchandise categories), there are four message types that will be sent: W_WGRP, CHRMAS, CLFMAS, and CLSMAS.
IDoc Serialization using message types (serialization groups) is used when several different message types are dependent on each other, as is the case here. For example, if a merchandise category is assigned to a merchandise category hierarchy level, the merchandise category hierarchy level must first exist. How you use LSMW and IDocs is informed by the sequence.
To understand the IDoc sequence for creating the merchandise category hierarchy (including merchandise categories), use T-Code BD44 to view the Serialization Group GRP_W_WGRP includes the 4 desired message types in sequence:
CHRMAS04 Distr. of Characteristics with Dependencies and Long Texts
CLFMAS02 Master object classification
CLSMAS04 Classes with Long Texts, Document Links, and E1UPSLINK
W_WGRP01 Distribution of material groups
CHRMAS04 is only relevant of Characteristics are being assigned to merchandise categories. Let us leave Characteristics aside for now.
Step 1: Create Merchandise Category Hierarchy Nodes
Step 2: Merchandise Categories - Create as a Class
Step 3: Merchandise Categories - Change as a Retail MC
Step 4: Merchandise Categories - Assign Category Hierarchy Nodes each other, and assign MC class to MCH node.
For this, use these messages:
Step 1: CLSMAS04
Step 2: CLSMAS04
Step 3: W_WGRP01
Step 4: CLFMAS02

Classification for Merchandise Category

Hi all,
I am an MM consultant but new to Retail. I am trying to set up classification for Merchandise category. I have created a characteristic profile and i assigned some characteristics in this profile (e.g ingredients, size, etc). Then i went to WG22 and assigned the characteristic profile to the merchandise category.
My issue now, is from where do i enter the values that i want for each merchandise category (i.e the ingredients, size, etc). As i have read, directly in each article you cannot. In CL20N you cannot as the class is of type 026 (internal).
Where do i do this?
best regards!

HI, let me describe what i did and which are my issues
1. I have created the characteristics and assigned the possible values
2. Then i though about two options:
     a) to create a characteristic profile and assign the characteristics to it
     b) assign the characteristics in the Hierarchy directly
3. I did both and my issues are:
     a) in the 1st option how i assign values to an article? i want each article of the merchandise category to be assigned to various values.
     b) in the 2nd option, i assigned the characteristis to the hierarchy (and thus to the merchandise category) and through MM42 i assgined the values to the articles. In that case my issue is during the search of an article based on the characteristics. There i select as a class the hierarchy and then i have to select the specific merchandise category in order to find articles, otherwise no results appear. Isn't it possible to find all articles of an hierarchy with specific characteristic value?

Significance of External Merchandise category in IS Retail

Can any one help me in understanding what is ext merch category and what is the significance in IS retail?
srini

Hi Srini,
I have not come across "ext merch category" terminology in IS-Retail and i think there is no such Field .
Can you specifically say on which Tcode you have came across ???
There is one field called "Vendor Art. Grp" in Article Master which is used for maintaining Merchandise Category of your External Vendor.

Product category replication issue

Hi friends,
We are trying to replicate product category from one of our R/3 backend to the SRM box. There is only one product category we have specified in the filters in R3AC3, but DNL_CUST_PROD1 is showing status running from past 3 days.
I would like to point out that the same scenario is working fine for other R/3 backends.
Any idea/suggestion about the reason for this issue in replication process?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Robin,
We are also expecting some customizing problem as the reason for this issue.
I just want to again point out that Product category replication is working for other R/3 backends. Only one specific R/3 backend is causing this issue.
Can you advise what could be these backend specific settings and where we can verify them?
Thanks
Gaurav

Change Merchandise Category for Article

Hi
Can you please tell me the procedure for changing the Merchandise Category for an article and also let me know the implications for the same. Purchase and Sales for the article have been done.
Thanks in advance
Poonam

Hi Poonam,
This process shows how to can change the assignment of articles to merchandise categories and merchandise category levels in merchandise category hierarchies. This process is called as Reclassification.
To do this, you have to carry out Process Flow as below;
(1) Define the planned date for the reclassification version and assign a change identification.
(2) Select the objects to be reclassified:
Article
Merchandise category
Merchandise category hierarchy level
(3) If an article is to be moved to a merchandise category which has a characteristics profile assigned to it, decide if the article should be assigned to the merchandise category directly or to the characteristics profile.
The system checks the characteristics of source and target objects: reassignment is only possible if the characteristics and characteristic values of the source also exist in the target.
(4) The system checks the level at which stock is managed in the affected sites: if in at least one site the stock is managed at a higher level than the article level, reclassification is only possible if the value-only article remains the same or if no stock exists anyway.
(5) Process the error log and change the reclassification version, as necessary.
Save the reclassification version. This is a simulation version, meaning that it does not take effect until it is actually activated. You can change this version right up until its activation date.
(6) By activating ("updating") the reclassification version, you confirm that the relevant objects are to be moved on a specified date and - if articles are being moved - that the merchandise categories are to be changed in open purchase orders and allocation table items (optional). New listing conditions can be created and old ones deleted, as required.
(7) If necessary, you update the Information System (manual function).
Bye,
Muralidhara
