Selective Product Category Replication

Hello everybody,
I am in SRM5 classic mode. I would like to replicate only selective material groups (product categories) to SRM from the R3 backend system. Is there any way this can be done?
Thanks
Venkat

Hello Venkat,
Yes , it is possible to replicate the selected product categories form R/3.
This can be achieved as follows. when you are defining the middleware settings for the customizing objects using the trasaction R3AC3. Here you will set the filter(3rd tab) based on the material group and activate the object adapter.
Hope this information will be helpful to you.
Regards,
Mani

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

How to retrieve Parent product category based on Product name selection.

Is it possible to retrieve Parent Product category based on the Product name of the Product.
Our Product catalog is set up as follows
Product:
Product name Product category
TA30 TA30
TA300 TA30
Product categories
Category Name Parent Category
TA30 Lawn Mower.
I would like to retrieve the Parent category "lawn Mower" when I select the product TA30 from the product list on the custom object 9. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
SKJ

Hi Akila,
I am assuming you query runs on a cube that loads data from the source system. In that case cube will contain only valid cobminations of Product Family & Product Line.
In order to make sure that if a cetain Product Family is chosen you want to see only the relevant Product Line as available in the cube do the following:
Go to Query Designer Filter
Pick Product Family > Properties> Advanced. Under the Tab Filter Value Selection during Query Execution choose 'Only Values in InfoProvider'
Do the same setting for Product Line as well.
Hope this helps.

Show Material Group Long Description in SRM Product Category ?

Hi,
We have entered Short and Long Decriptions for Material Groups in R/3 and we have run the replication too. We want to show the Long Description of the Product Category to the users on the web screens.
We know there is a setting in SRM to do this but we don't know what it is.
Please let me know if any one has idea.
Thanks
venkatesh p

Hi Venkatesh,
You can only transfer one of the two descriptions, if you want Long desc, go to
SM30
COMC_HIERARCHY
NEW ENTRIES
SELECT TRANSFER 60 CHAR DESC.

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
Regards
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.
Regards,
Dave.

A vendor is automatically selected after selecting aproduct category

Hello
In the shop transaction we are facing a problem in vendor selection. In describe requirement , we are selecting a product category and then a vendor is coming automatically.We are not to change or select any new vendor. Please suggest how to solve this problem.
Thanks
Manas

Hi Manas
since you have unique contract for that product category it picked automaticallyu.
if you wanna STOP. create dummy Contract and include the product category. so that enduser can manually select or buyer can assign right contract to the sc item.
