Replication of product master and Product category

Hi
Please let me know steps involved in replicating
Product master and product category from R/3 to SRM
Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
The blogs mentioned by Kathirvel explains clearly the entire replication procedure of Master data from R/3 to SRM.
Neverthless find some points which needs to be taken care during replication :
1. Ensure that the tables CRMCONSUM, CRMSUBTAB, CRMPAROLTP, CRMRFCPAR are duly filled in R/3 system.
2. Endure that SMOFPARSFA table is duly filled in SRM system.
3. Maintain the filter settings using R3AC3 and R3AC1 as per your requirement in SRM system.
4. Set up the Administrative console using SMOEAC and create both R/3 and SRM nodes and define the site attributes.
5. Ensure that all the queues (both inbound and outbound) are empty in both the systems before replication.
6. Start initial load of customizing objects (DNL_CUST_BASIS3, DNL_CUST_PROD0 & DNL_CUST_PROD1) using R3AS and monitor the loaded jobs using R3AM1.
7. After successful replication of customizing objects, load the business objects (material_master, service master) using R3AS.
8. The replicated material groups and product types can be seen using COMM_HIERARCHY txn.
9. The replicated materials can be seen using COMMPR01.
Hope this makes you more clear about the settings required.
Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

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

Parent Product and pruduct category

I know how to use product category, but i don't know how to use Parent Product.when i created a server request ,they gave the answer
is:+Parent Product is a System Defined read-only picklist which shows all the Products listed for your company. You can create additonalProducts and select any existing product as the Parent product.However, it is not mandatory that each newly created products should have a Parent Product associated.+ but this answer doesn't help me. what i want to know is when i need to add a Parent Product field and what is the different between Parent Product and Product Category?

Hello Jamal,
In txn:COMMPR01,you can see the Item Category Group under Sales and Distribution tab,under Sales:Control Fields,Quantities.
With the help of the item category group, you review the various products from a business view for item category determination. Enter the item category group for each product in the product master.
During business transaction processing, the system creates the item category from the item category group for the product, and from the business transaction category, and proposes it in the document. You can assign item categories to business transaction types and item category groups in the process Maintain item category determination.
So for a product you need to assign it during the product creation and then only this product would be available for selection in transaction depending upon the item category determination.
Hope this helps!

Issue in product category replication from R/3 to SRM

Mehul G Shah: BACKGROUND:
We are in the process of replicating Material Group from R/3 to SRM
using transaction R3AR2 & R3AR4. Our Pre-Production server got
refreshed recently & this has caused all EBM data inclucing Logical
System & Destination being overwritten with EBP data.
We have maintained middleware paramaters, viz., CRMCONSUM, CRMRFCPAR,
CRMPAROLTP & also TBE11.
We have also maintained sites in CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit
using SMWP.
We have also tried after deleting entries in tables CRMPRLS (R/3) &
CRMMLSGUID (EBM) as suggested by SAP note 765018
We have followed steps mentioned in link /people/marcin.gajewski/blog/2007/02/05/how-to-replicate-material-master-from-r3-to-srm
(But we are not clear about site attributes which needs to maintain as per the CRM Middleware Monitoring Cockpit.)
ISSUE:
Material Group gets replicated to Product Category in SRM. However, the
Product Category gets replicated with Logical System which is not
maintained in EBM

Hi ,
Thanks 4 ur replay,i have maintained Site attributes,please give me detail of site attributes like which attributes should i maintain ?please give me descriptive answer.

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.

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.

Defining G/L Account for product category and account assignment category

We are using the standard configuration to default in a G/L account for a given product category and account assignment category combination. This works well for us when it comes to the shopping transactions (i.e. BBPSC01, BBPSC02, etc.), however we have a problem with this logic in the carry out sourcing transction BBPSOCO01. Our users are creating describe requirements which are then delivered to BBPSOCO01, however the user is not assigning the correct product category, so the sourcing department updates the cart with the correct product category. Upon doing so, the G/L account gets changed to whatever the V_BBP_DET_ACCT table determines is correct for that given product category/account assignment combination. We would like to know if their is a way to not fire the "default G/L account determination" when the shopping cart is changed in transaction BBPSOCO01. I already know about the BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI but thought there might be a less expensive alternative. Our business treats the G/L account provided by the configuration as a guideline, therefore when the buyer changes the product category they also want to retain the account assignment information. Any suggesstions on how this might be accomplished outside of creating my own logic in the BADI?

SRM Product Category replication

Hi,
I have a problem while replicating the product category from SRM 5.0 to R/4 4.7 system. When I run the load the entry is stuck in the queue and the error message says:
The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
I have reset the status of the queue and tried to execute it again and it gives me the error as "Function module does not exist or Exception raised".
I have checked St22 and SM21 for any system logs, but could not find any.
Can any one please let me know what could be the possible problem.

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.

Pur Grp and product category changes made in R3E not reflecting back to SRM

Need to investigate why changes made to Purchase Requisitions in SAP R/3 (Purchasing Group & product category) doesn't feed back to SRM.
Purchasing Group and product category changes made in R3E do not reflect back in SRM.

Hi Sanjay,
You should also schedule report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 (updating requirement coverage
requests) to run in the Enterprise Buyer system, so that information on the status of purchase
requisitions, purchase orders, and reservations is up-to-date.
I hope,this helps.

Classic scenario, where to create Contract and product category

Hello All,
We are using SRM4.0 ( Classic scenario) with non-sap backend system.
We need to attach contract in Shopping cart in SRM.
My questions are:
1. In which system ( EBP or non-sap backed), we need to create contract? and how to create it?
2. In which system( EBP or non-sap backend), we need to define product or product category? and how to create it?
Regards
Neelesh

Neelesh
When you replicate product categories from any backend system, they get created in SRM and update the value of logical system with the backend from which it replicated.
You can only create Product category in standalone. You can try to create the same for classic but maintain log syst value with the correct backend. This is not advisable.
PS : Reward points if helpful.

User and product category responsible

Is there any way to findout which product category he is responsible. Any Function module?
Input - Product category
Out put- List of Users(ie responsible for product category).
BR
Raman

Hi,
You will not get the user list from the FM's i mentioned.
You will get the Org ID or the position ID under which the product catgeories have been maintained in the org structure from the tables HRT1222 and HRP1222.
Then using the Org ID/position ID,you can get the users who are assigned under those using the FM's mentioned i.e. BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_USER_FROM_POS/BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_USER_FROM_ORG.
So first query the tables mentioned to get the pos ID/org ID and then pass the OrgID/Pos ID to the FM's to get the user list.
I hope its clear now.
