Hyperlinks on SAP MDM Publisher Catalog

Hello Friends,
I need to create a catalog having hyper links.
Can I define hyperlinks in console or some otherplace, so that in the final publisher catalog, I have a hyperlink.
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer.

Hi Sameer,
Generaly, it is recommended saving URLs in the Text HTMLs table in MDM.
Referencing URLs of the Text HTMLs table enables you to preview the website (right click on the text html record->view detail-> preview tab).
However, I agree with Markus's comment. Accessing hyperlinks In a printed publication seems to me less relevant.
If the requirement is only displaying the URL in the printed catalogue you may also consider storing them as plain texts.

Product catalog from mdm to crm isa

HI MDM GURUS,
COULD ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE STEPS TO REPLICATE PRODUCT CATALOGS DIRECTLY FROM MDM TO ISA (INTERNET SALES APPLICATION)
PRIYA

Hello,
I wish the answer was simple and I get all the 10 points. But, I have lot more to add than just giving a report program name.
Usually the CRM E-Commerce accesses the MDM product catalog as an external catalog. It is not customary to export the Catalog content from SRM-MDM to CRM-ISA. Instead the MDM catalog is Web Enabled for use as an external catalog by CRM-ISA. In the SRM system, the report program
/CCM/PE_START_REG_PUBLICATION
can be used to publish the catalog. Usually, this is scheduled as a background job to run periodically to publish the catalog.
The E-Commerce (CRM-ISA) has Open Catalog Interface (OCI) hooks available to do this. But this needs to be configured in the XCM to access such external catalogs.
Please read the contents in this link for a overview idea of [External Catalog Integration (via OCI)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/2f/86653fac7ab21ae10000000a114084/content.htm]
Also, start from [Service Market Place - SRM|http://service.sap.com/srm] and goto SRM-MDM Catalog to know more about the catalog and see the Export process for other possibilities.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

MDM catalog Search UI is showing SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of Product

Hi Experts,
We are working on SRM7.0 with MDM. We have one Development environment where MDM is working fine.
We made a copy of Existing MDM repository to new Server and Created new SRM-MDM environment for demo setup.
We have nade SRM instance as a copy of Development and when we try to connect to the MDM after making all changes to the search ui as same as Development we are getting search UI page of catalog as SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of SRM-MDM Product catalog.
I can able to acess the new repository through MDM Data manager it is fine.
The products in repository are not displayed in search ui page as only service view of catalog is shown.
Kindly reply if you have any idea or sugession.
Regards,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

On default 'Service' radio button will be seected change the the radio button to the ''Product' and save. Catalog will work as Product catalog.

SRM Product / Material creation - Data flow to SAP MDM

Dear SAP friends,
I need your help with 2 issues. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Our client needs to create products and make them available to purchase almost immediately.
The scenario we had working for the last 2 years was: product creation in SRM (fields: short description / product category / measure unit), that would then be sent to SAP MDM for data enrichment, through BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG (JOB running every 1 minute). This solution worked well for the last 2 years.
Recently, we are having some problems with this job. We noticed that, sometimes SRM doesn´t send the new products to MDM, and we think it´s a report performance problem. The report doesn´t maintain is normal behavior when executed every 1 minute.
SAP advice is to only run this report once a day. That would obviously require having a minimum time frame of 1 day between product creation and its availability (purchase), which isn´t acceptable in this client business model.
Question 1: Did anyone have a client with similar requirement? What was the implemented solution?
Because of report performance problems, we are running it (BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG) every 5 minutes. It happens that sometimes, more than one catalog manager creates products in that time frame, and MDIS when importing the products to MDM, creates one unique workflow JOB making it impossible to assign it to both catalog managers for enrichment.
Question 2: How can we ensure that SRM sends only one product per xml files sent to XI / PI ? Or, perhaps, ensure that XI / PI splits the xml file sent from SRM into several files with one product each.
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Best Regards,
João S. Carvalho

Hi meka
In product costing values flows as follows;
In product cost calculation raw material prices are costed which comes from material master in MM01
Product operations: i.e material BOM and master receipe or routings from PP module.From PP module operation costs comes in product costing.
In CO module: In Tcode KP26 we maintain activity\cost center planning for activities like machine hours, set up hours, labour hours etc.Here we define plan quantity and plan prices.
In Cost Sheet (KZS2) we maintain base cost elements & overheads and While order creation we calculate planned cost of that particular material.and then check the variances after getting actual cost of product.
Hope this will help you and if found useful assign points.
Let me know if you need more information.
Regards
Nilesh.

SRM 7.0 on NW 7.01 with SAP MDM 3.0 Catalog

Hello,
We are implementing the following Components:
SRM 7.0
MDM 7.1
BI
PI 7.0
Portal 7.0
We are currently live with ECC 5.
We will be using the SAP MDM Catalog along with SRM. We will be also implementing MDM to use for Master Data Cleansing. I wanted to know whether we will need to install the SAP MDM Catalog on the SRM7.0 system or can we install it on the MDM 7.1 system and then connect it to SRM?
Any pros/cons if we can use it as part of the MDM landscape?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sheldon,
Great question. Technically speaking, you can certainly use your SRM-MDM repository on the main MDM 7.1 system. However, the following cons apply:
1. Even though it contains several core components from Netweaver (NW) MDM, SRM-MDM Catalog is being developped by SAP as a separate product. The patch releases between SRM-MDM and NW MDM are also not in synch (at least that's the current situation). Therefore, if you have both applications on one MDM system, you will have an undesired dependency related to applying new patches - which may lead to some issues.
2. Performance of one application will be impacted by the load on the other one.
3. Down time of one application will impact the users of the other one.
4. Upgrades will be more difficult to handle.
On my recent project, the direction from SAP was to use two different systems - one for SRM-MDM, one for NW MDM.
Cheers,
Serguei

Can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

Hi SasikanthReddy M,
can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution
This is what one of the blog says on this:
MDM product was available for the last few years and its last version was MDM 3.0 this product was ABAP based tool with very strong capabilities in large scale data integration and consolidation between SAP systems, the problem with this tool was that it was too complicated for implementation and less strong in the client side.
In order to make it better SAP had to decide whether to invest more development efforts or buy some other product that will be able to provide the missing capabilities, during the quest for this tool SAP found this Israeli company called A2I and their product called xCat. Even though the xCat product was intended for product catalog management SAP identified the grate potential in it both from conceptual and technical point of view and decided to buy it and make it SAPu2019s MDM product.
At first this product was called MDME (MDM Extension) but now it was announced as the MDM official tool by SAP. The MDM5.5 tools is a very sophisticated tool from one hand providing great Data Modeling , data consolidation, fast data extraction , and search capabilities, and from the other hand it is very simple for installation and implementation (both from infrastructure point of view and end user experience). So now SAP has a very strong offering in the MDM world:
Now the lastest version of MDm is MDM 5.5 SP06.
Hope it helps.
*Kindly reward points if helpful

External product catalog integration with SAP CRM

Hi Forum,
I want to integrate a third party Java based product catalog with SAP CRM.
Currently, ISA is being used as the front-end.The CRM has a product catalog which is being used.
In place of this I want to add an external product catalog.
This is for a B2C shopping website. The user will browse through the external catalog and the selected products should be added to the shopping basket of ISA.
I'm aware that the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) is used for this purpose in B2B using SRM server.
Is there a similar interface for B2C applications?
Aditya Karajgi

Hi Pratik,
I dont think you understood my question.
What I want to implement is something like Open Catalog Interface (OCI) which is used in B2B implementations.
The catalog will be created by an open source content management system.
Product categories will be created and maintained using this system.
Users will browse the catalog and select products.
These selected products will be added to the shopping basket in Webshop.
We dont want to get into the complexities of using JCo or IDocs for this.
There should be some interface which is similar to OCI for B2C applications.
Thanks and waiting for ur response.
Aditya

MDM - Product Repository

From my understanding, the basic MDM package contains one repository for 'Product'. Has anyone thought about creating two repositories for product data - one for purchased materials and another one for produced materials? Would SAP support this type of repository structure? Can anyone think of any pitfalls with having two repositories?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Suzanne,
SAP MDM comes with 5 standard repositories, which are similar/replica to R/3 structure.
1. Material
2. Vendor
3. Employee
4. Customer
5. Article.
The Product repository you are talking about, when you create a new Repository from MDM Console, which is a skelton to maintain Product catalog, but you can always customize/enhance by adding tables and fields according to u r needs.
In MDM you can maintain any kind of master data. It does not have any limitations.
In your case, Is "Purchased materials" and "Produced materials" are 2 different set of master data objects or does both have any commonality except few fileds?
As you might be knowing as of MDM SP3 there is no standard cross repository communication thru the existing tools. The only way you can communicate across the repositories using the API (Java/.Net).
I would suggest go thru some of the business scenarios available in SAP Service market place before you start.
Thanks and Regards

Syndication and printing using CRM Product Master/product catalog

Hi,
I would like to understand if we could do syndication and printing using CRM Product Master/product catalog.
thanks
anantharam

Out of the box, you have a feature to export the Product Catalog - as an XML. Rest of the nice features you want are not available out of the box.
If printing and syndication are primary and important features you want to have, then you must explore if [SAP SRM MDM Catalog|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srmmdm10/helpdata/en/44/ec6f42f6e341aae10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm] will be suitable for you. It is a different SAP product and here is the[ link to explore.|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srmmdm10/helpdata/en/44/ec6f42f6e341aae10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]
