Shopping Cart Opinion, please

Which of these two shopping carts for DW is better and why?
eCart 4.0.2
or
Cartweaver for ASP.
Opinions based on experience, please!

Hi
I can only comment on Cartweaver php, it was suggested on the
forum and I've
found the addin/program to be excellent. The backup on their
forum whilst
perhaps not the fastest ( within a day - ok I'm spoilt by
this forum:-) is
very good and comprehensive. The PHP version is easily
customisable and as
"it says on the box" I created a simple site within minutes.

About shopping cart. Please help!

How can I add some statements to the following program to check whether the selected item has been tried to add to the shopping cart the second time so that the user can be warned "You can only choose this item once!"?
Here is the servlet that adds the chosen item to the cart by invoking the add(String) method of the ShoppingCart class.

Hope anyone can help! Thx!

After you retrieves the shopping cart items from the database, store the items in a HashSet, so when the user adds a new item, you just need to check whether the HashSet contains that item, if it is already in the set, show the warning. If not exist, insert the item to your database. You can use the response.sendRedirect() method to redirect the user to a warning page.
HashSet is a very good data structure since it doesn't contain duplicate elements. It is also extremely fast.
String itemID = 2323; // some item id in your catalog
HashSet itemset = new HashSet(); // you should add your existing cart items to this HashSet
// no do the checking
if(itemset.contains(itemID) {
response.sendRedirect("warning.jsp"); // forward it to a warning page
return; // processing no further
} else {
// in here, do the db update, and display the cart to the user

Error while transferring the Shopping cart to ECC system

Hi,
I am getting the below error in classic scenario, while trying to transfer the shopping cart created in SRM (v 4.0) system to ECC (v5.0) system.
"06313 Material differs from material & from t he info record"
I have a valid inforecord in ECC for the material and vendor entered in shopping cart.
Please help me to find out what could be the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun

Hi Arun,
Its difficult to tell what is the issue exactly with the information provided by you but neverthless check the following observations :
1. Did you refer the correct info. record while creating shopping cart for that item ?
2. Check for the detailed description of error in Application Monitor using RZ20 txn. and also in SLG1 for any error logs.
Also check in BBP_PD for the status.
3. Also try to craete a P.R and P.O in R/3 for that material by referring that info record. This is one of the best ways of trouble shooting as you can nail down the issue thats causing this error.
Please check for the above observations and get back to us for further help.
Award points for helpful answers.

Displaying Custom field in shopping cart header

Hi all, I know how to add a field to header and item levels of the shopping cart.
- In the note 672960 it says 'Note that the header fields cannot be displayed for the shopping cart. If you define fields on the header, they can only be filled in BADIs.'
However,
We are able to fill in the name of the shopping cart on the third step, which is also a part of header information. Is there a possibility to add a custom field(the user must be able to fill it) and display it in that screen???

Zero Price Item In Shopping Cart - where is IR flag in Shopping Cart?

HI,
I am relatively new SRM user.
I am interested in knowing how can I manually post the shopping cart with zero price to create a free of charge PO in back end? I believe there is IR flag in Shopping cart but I am not able to get where that IR flag is in shopping cart.
Please help me with the transaction & steps for removing IR flag in shopping cart.
Thanks
Nim

Hello Nim,
As written previously, if you created a Shopping Cart with a zero total value, as Invoice Receipt Expected flag comes from vendor data, according to vendor purchasing organization (tab 'Vendor Data' in "Manages Business Partner" web transaction), you won't be able to create Purchase Order if this flag is set: error message BBP_PD 045 will be displayed.
So, you have two alternatives.
a- First, you unset the flag for the concerned vendor. However, doing this, you won't be able to create purchasing document with total value upper than zero (same error message BBP_PD 045 will be raised)
b- Second, as no BAdI allows to manage further procurement information such as 'Invoice Receipt Expected', you will have to make some standard modifications.
Regards.
Laurent Burtaire.

Hi,
If it is only the problem with only few carts, Check if any Short dumps are occuring in SRM as Well as in R/3.
We faced a simialr situation and observed that it was resulting in a short dump due to bad coding in one BADI.

Please help how to resolve the issue,
Thanks & Regards,
Madhan.

4) PR line item Deletion indicator removed and subsequent PO created based on the PR. Shopping cart history still showing the follow on document Deleted. and the PO details are not showing in the Shopping cart history,

since you removed deletion flag. again new sc must have created in srm side by transfer job . check it up.
Any these twos available in BBP_DOCUMENT_TAB table.

Fixed vendor getting selected in the Shopping cart by mistake

Hi,
We are on SRM_SERVER 550, SP07 and SAP R/3 - 4.7.
We are on classic scenario.
Our Scenario: When users order the cart with preferred vendor, the cart will go through approval and once the approval WF gets completed and cart item moves to sourcing cockpit (carry out sourcing). Here the buyers create the PO in the backend.
But we observed one issue recently. For one particular material id, there is a fixed vendor getting chosen. User enters the preferred vendor, system chooses a fixed vendor--> So the cart doesnt go to sourcing and the PO gets created after the approvals are over.
I checked if there were any Purchase info records maintained in SAP for this vendor material combination, but there were none.
There are also no vendor lists maintained.
Is there any other way a fixed vendor can be picked up in a shopping cart?
Please let us know .
Regards,
Srivatsan

Hi Srivatsan,
1) create a new SC and set on hold.
2) set a breakpoint in the function B45A_SOURCEDETERMIN_GETSOS at the point:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SOURCEDETERMIN_GETSOS'       <----- here
            DESTINATION destination
3) execute the FM BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER with the GUID of the SC (from the step 1)
If you have a dialog user in the bakcend, you can debug the SOS find in the backend. If you just need the result, doubleclick on the sources_of_supply:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SOURCEDETERMIN_GETSOS'
      DESTINATION destination
      EXPORTING
        material              = material
        mat_grp               = mat_grp
        plant                 = plant
        deliv_date            = deliv_date
        quantity              = quantity
        unit                  = unit

        acctasscat            = acctasscat
        purch_org             = purch_org
        fixed_vend            = fixed_vend

      TABLES

Custom field in shopping cart

Hi All,
I need to add a custom filed in the shopping cart in SRM. I added the field by appending a structure in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC. I also executed the report BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE by entering the prog name SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF. After doing these things when I go to shopping cart wizard and go to item details where my field should be visible, it gives a short dump "Field symbol has not been assigned yet (GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED) ".
Is there anything else I need to do to add a filed in the shopping cart.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Buffer table not up to date when searching shopping carts

Hi Friends,
This is probably a common error but could not find specific note or forum threads to my specific issue.
We are on SRM 5.0 Extended Classic with SP level 15. There has been no org changes or user changes.
when existing user tries to pull shopping carts using OLD PO and Template with a time frame, there are no issues and List is displayed to the user. But when the user deselects everything and just selects 'Including completed shopping cart' checkbox and does a search, dump happens with Buffer table not up to date.
I am not sure if combination of timeout error and/or trying to retrieve all his shopping carts ever created buffer issues. Please advise. Atleast user is not new or changed in the org structure. User can shop normally, but not pull all SCs that he created since his first shopping cart.
Please advise
Thanks
Rao

Dear Rao
Go to Tr:ST22, get the dump log details, from there you will find where the error occur, as well as the callstack, Eg, which
FM, form ,has been called before the error occur. Set BP there , so you can proceed debug.
This dump could happen if there are some data is missing for this SC, in this case, FUNCTION 'BBP_LINK_GET_OW'
might interesting.

Lauren

Confirmation in Shopping cart.

I am not getting PO due list for all my shopping carts in order to do Confirmation in confirm goods or services transaction.
With regards
Ram

Hi,
The goods receipient is the user ( employee) who is assigned when you create shopping cart.( in the shopping cart details)
So if you login with that userid you will be able to see the purchase orders.
Or else you can use Confirm goods centrally and then do good receipt for any of the purchase orders.
There are transactions like BBPCF01, BBPCF02, BBPCF03 and all (just like BBPSC01 and BBPSC03 for shopping cart). Please check which one you are using
Best regards,
