Regarding product category

Hi All,
I created the root category and sub category. If I want to know that the subcategory comes from the root category how can I know that it is derived from the root category in program. See we can see that in GUI if we will expand it. But nowhere in Sub category we will get the root category. Then can I know any process is there that I can come to know.
Thanx
SARAVANA

Hi Paul,
Thanx for ur answer. What i trying to say we had created root category in GUI and we are seeing that in category tab of that category in maintain category and hierarchy. but if we created the sub category frow the root 1 in category tab page of sub category same thing we can see the sub category name. But there is no value like root category any where in sub category. Is there any possibility that I can see the root category name in sub category screen. Even if I want to see in program.
Another thing If hierarchy and category name as same then how can I know in program which is category and which is hierarchy.
Thanx
Saravana

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.

Error when creating service product category in Shopping cart

Hi ,
When I am creating a shopping cart for service type product category I am getting an error message
" Item 1 is created as service item. Please change it to goods".
Do I need to do some settings to enable shopping for service type?

Hi,
First you need to publish your service which you would get from the dropdown fro utilities->setting->its->publish.
Also check in transaction SICF whether your serivce is actiavted- else activate the same. you can find your serivice under the following path

Problem with product category

Hello,
I have replicated my product category for my new backend but i have a problem.
When i'm logged on germand it is OK but in english I have none and in french juste a few.
I saw that I have the translation but I don't understand why they don't appear when i create my schopping cart.
can you help me?
thanks

Hi Eileen,
You don't have filled description for English and French language.
Please go to transaction COMM_HIERARCHY and double click in product categories -
(R3MATCLASS). Then go to backend R3MATCLASS node and click on category.
On bottom in table You will see language. Add proper description for proper language code.

Product category not available error in SAP CRM 7.0

hi Gurus,
while i try creating opportunity transaction, there under product tab when i enter product category(as we maintian product category and not product) and pass on other data and finally press enter ..i get error "product category "3lAA" not available" same for other category. even when i try F4 help only very few categories it shows, not all.
but then i went back and checked for category and hierarchy in CRM system ..it is showing all there and it is downloaded form R/3 system.
Can you please tell me what all places i can check..? or what is missing ?
Thanks,
gaurav

Hi,
I believe all the categories which you are viewing currently in the pop up are from a single hierarchy ( Most probably R3PRODHIER). And the categories which you are looking for is probably from a different hierarchy ( R3MATCLAS, R3PRODSTYP etc.).
By standard, for sales applications only R3PRODHIER is supported. Please have a look at the IMG path Cross-Application Component->SAP Product-> Product Category->Assign Category Hierarchy to Applications, where you can verify this. If you are so particular about using categories from a different hierarchy you might need to change this setting - I am not sure about other implications that can cause if you change that like downloading from R/3 etc.

Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category - Table handling

Dear Experts,
in SRM 7.0, CS, i am facing the following requirement regarding tax codes:
We have users from different countries using SRM. These different countries have different tax codes that are to be used for legal reasons.
My question is, how i can achieve a system behaviour, by which in the shopping cart, the correct tax codes gets selected automatically, based on the country of the user, who is creating the shopping cart.
Question 1:
Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
Q2:
What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
Q3:
Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
Q4:
From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
Thank you very much for your help in understanding the topic.

Hi
Here are my responses to your questions:
Question 1:
Is it correct to assume, that this requirement can be achieved by maintaining the "Determine of Tax Code for Country/Product Category" - Table?
Answer - If you have a requirement where different countries have different tax codes, then you do need this confiugration. Otherwise Configuraiton in Enter Tax Code are sufficient.
Q2:
What is the purpose of the 1st column of the above mentioned table, "Domestic/International Indicator"? Can it be left blank?
Answer - Sometimes you have different codes for International and Domestic purchases for a product Category. IN those situations you can select Domestic/International field to differentiate btw tax codes. Otherwise this field can be left blank
Q3:
Is it possible to fill in the values for the field "Country" BUT to leave the field "Category ID" empty???The reason for asking it, that otherwise several hundreds entries would have to be maintaind manaully...
Answer - No, if you enter country, then Category Id field is mandatory. You may enter * in case you dont have multiple backend systems. otherwise you will ve to ve individual entries for each category and backend system.
Q4:
From where in the shopping cart or ppoma settings is the system fetching the Country code, in order to be able to use it in the table? Is there any specific attribute maintenance that has to be taken care of, so the above mentioned table can be used (e.g. delivery address, including the country information)?
Answer - It is picked up from the address of the user where is will receive goods. and Domestic/International will be decided based on Vendor address with reference to thta address.
I hope my responses clarify your doubts.

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

Edited by: trevor_987 on Dec 2, 2010 12:12 PM

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.

Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category

Hello Experts,
I got a requirment to make a new entry in below SPRO path.
Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category
*Individual entries cannot be put into the change request*
*Message no. SV141*
*Diagnosis*
*For technical reasons, the entries cannot be fully specified in the change request. There are two possible reasons for this:*
*1. The key of an entry is longer than 120 characters. All entries whose keys match up to character 119, are then copied into the change request, rather than an individual entry.*
*2. The key of an entry contains fields of special data types, for example, packed numbers. The key can only be specified in the change request up to the first such field from the left.*
*all entries whose keys match up to character 26 are copied into the change request, rather than a single entry.*
*System Response*
*The selected entry is copied into the change request correctly, but other entries may be copied as well.*
My question is, If I make one entry and move to Quality and production system will it move only one entry or whole table will move?
Kindly help me.
Thanking you
Regards
Sharan

I got the same message trying to make an entry in SPRO:
Define Backend System for Product Category
I found the note 305942 describing exactly the issue for my and above mentioned entry, which offers the correction, then the note 326802 which offers the correction of the first notes. However, both notes are for Releases 4.6C and D (from 2000), and we are using EHP2 FOR SAP SRM 7.0.
I see another discussions in SCN regarding this topic, but haven't found real solution yet. Any hints? At least the answer to previous question from Sharan would be appreciated.

Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

Hello,
We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
add a vendor.
How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?

Lina

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.

Nikhil

HI

some customer expects this facility
Product category vs supplier

Error in Product Category Replication

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to replicate the product category from R/3 4.7C system to SRM5.0 system.
All the relevant table settings have been done in both the systems and we have successfully loaded objects: DNL_CUST_BASIS3 and DNL_CUST_PROD0 from R/3 to SRM system.
Now, the problem is with loading of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1. When we start its intial upload, the outbound queue in SRM system shows that the status of the queue is "SYSFAIL". The details of the error message show : "Filter criteria invalid. See note 0419752". We have set filter for T023 table for MAKTL field, so that only one material group is replicated from R/3 client.
We have checked the relevant release versions mentioned in the note, but our systems are on a higher version release.
Could anyone let us know which correction patch to implement in this case?
Thanks n Regards,
Ancy

OK. GO to R3AR2 AND CLICK THE PENCIL And click new entries
now you get requester name
adapter object =DNL_CUST_PROD1
table name =T023
field name = MATKL
LOW = you are material grup which you want to only rplicate
option = Equality (=low)
high = empty
go to r3ar4 and give your request name and supply dest and source that all
check comm_category table.

Preferred Vendors for Product Category

We are using SRM 7.0, Classic Scenario.
My client wants a list of preferred suppliers that need to be maintained for a product category. So that whenever the requester selects the product category, he should get the list of preferred vendors for that product category.
Thanks

How about maintaining "Supplier List" ?

SRM7.0 Multiple G/L account assignment for a product category

Hi All,
In SRM7.0 , it is possible to maintain multiple G/L accounts for a prodict category and account assignment combination. For example , for a product Category XX and account assignment CC , we can maintain more than one G/L account with one G/L as default. While creating the Shopping Cart , the G/L account is defaulted. However when we do F4 search on the G/L , then system is bringing all the G/L accounts from the backend through the search help from ECC. In that case what is the use of maintaining multiple G/L accounts in the SRM configuration? Is there any other config that is reqd? We thought system would restrict to those G/L account that are maintained in the config.
Thanks
Sukumar

How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen

Dear ,my expert :
   I work in ROS scenario . In my case ,the supplier can select Product Category A, Product Category B,and Product Category C when they filled the data in the registration scren . And the purchaser A just is responsibility for the Product Category A ,and the purchaser B ,C are the same situation .
So ,my question is :
   1,How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen? I mean that the Purchaser A can just select the   Product Category A in the Pre-select screen .
   2,You know the supplier select two category is one BP in the system ,So if the purchaser A accepe the supplier ,the purchaser B will find the status is "accepted ",So the purchaser B will be confused about it .
   SO ,in my case ,any one has the suggestions ,any link welcome .
   Bestregards
alex

Hi Alex,
As per standard SRM solution, this is not supported. Purchasers who accept new suppliers, accept them on the whole and not for any specific product category. There is no such thing as Purchaser being responsible for specific prod category in ROS.
What you could do however is to build a custom workflow to achieve it. You could have category approvers after the purchaser has accepted the supplier. Based on the category provided by the supplier in the reg form, you could route these suppliers to appropriate category approvers.

Nikhil
