SRM Catalog Item GUID-Characteristics table

Hi
I am trying to test class /CCM/CL_ITEM_MANAGER method GET_ITEM_DATA so that i can read catalog item and then update it back
with new characteristic value using UPDATE_ITEM method.
Issue is when hit F8 i don't see these methods to test i am trying to find table where catalog item GUID to
characteristics values (i looked in GET_ITEM_DATA i can'r figure it out) are stored so that i can test my Enrichment BADI independently.
If someone worked bewofe with CCM catalog item GUID and characterstics values if can help to identify the table name.
Thanks in advance
Vineela

Hi Vinnela,
I am not sure, but try running report
/CCM/VERIFY_CATALOG
for yr catalog
it gives variety of info
see whether it helps

Changing charact of SRM catalog Item

Hi everybody,
I'd like to change the value of a characteristic of a catalog item but unfortunatly it doens't seem to work. I'm using the following objects/functions:
First I obtain the items using CALL METHOD gr_item_manager->get_all_items of class /ccm/cl_item_manager.
Secondly I read one of the items characteristic values and change on of the values. After this I use the following statement:
CALL METHOD gr_item_manager->update_item.
One of the parameters of the method is the changed characteristic value called it_char_value for the provided guid iv_guid.
Unfortunatly no update is performed of this item.
Q: do I have to use other functions to make the adjustment (like a commit work for example?)
Q2: does anyone have any experience updating characteristic values of a catalog?
Cheers and thanks!

Hi Margaret,
Nice to see some well constructed feedback for a change.
There are other options available though.
1.Restart the process
You set the active workflow to logically deleted and use transaction SWUE to create the same event.
this will in effect restart the process, take heed with changes already done in the previous flow.
2: Manually change the container elements
View the workitem in the transaction of your choice like SWI1
Click the workflow log.
Click on the workflow which containers you want to change
Then use menupath goto-->Technical workitem display (CTRLSHIFTF6)
Then use menupath Edit-->Change (CTRLSHIFTF3)
And then change the container element for the approvers by hand.
The second option I actually had to do for a different scenario once for thirtysomething workitems and I strongly disadvise it.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
Edit: sorry forgot that you already mentioned the changing of containers bit in the OP

SRM Catalog and PM BOM integration

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where client wants to use SRM catalog items (no material master) into the ECC PM BOM as a component.
Catalog items are already integrated with work order processing.
Is this advisable to do? What is required to do this?
Thanks,
Sagar

Hi Sagar,
I believe this is better asked in the ERP Forums, please raise your query there, from the perspective of SRM and Catalog, as long as the calling application supports Open catalog interface call/return, you can use catalogs in it. I uess also helpful for BOM setup would be the SRM-MDM Hierarchy structure

Inactive Catalog item still display in SRM - MDM catalog

HI,
I have one new issue in SRM-MDM catalogs.
For Catalog Item there is one field called 'status' having value Active and Inactive and I change the status to Inactive for one of the Catalog item in Data manager but when i access the same in SRM - MDM catalog from Shopping cart, the Catalog item still display there.
Does anyone guide me.
Smriti

Hi experts,
I'm facing the same issue...
I check the NAMEDSEARCH parameter used in the Catalog definition in SPRO and in some cases we have data in this field and in other cases we haven't. Is this a problem?
Thanks for your help

SRM validate the Catalog Item when copying from old templates

Do SRM validate the Catalog Item when copying from old templates and previous shopping carts? Is this standard functionality?
Thanks,
Rajan

Continuation to my previous post:
My findings based on the analysis I did. Might help people who are looking for similar info.
As Jason mentioned, the Subroutine name is CATALOG_CONTENT_VALIDATE_GET
This is under package BBP_SC --> Function Group: BBP_SC_APP
After making a webservice call to get catalog details, the mapping is done as below.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    READ TABLE lt_enriched_item INDEX 1.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      ls_item_validate-price      = lt_enriched_item-price.
      ls_item_validate-currency   = lt_enriched_item-currency.
      ls_item_validate-price_unit = lt_enriched_item-price_unit.
      ls_item_validate-deliv_date = lt_enriched_item-deliv_date.
      ls_item_validate-leadtime   = lt_enriched_item-leadtime.
      ls_item_validate-unit       = lt_enriched_item-unit.
    ELSE.
      lv_validate_item_exception = gc_yes.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.
    lv_validate_item_exception = gc_yes.
ENDIF.
If you go one level deeper into subroutine PERFORM sc_itm_copy_to_basket, you can see that following validations are performed.
If EITHER price, currency or price unit changes, we get the message u201C&: Price changed due to catalog validationu201D
If UOM changes, we get the message u201C&: Unit of measure changed in catalog; item not transferredu201D
When Delivery date or lead time changes, no message is raised but the new values are copied.
In a nut shell, the fields that are considered for validation are Price, Currency, Price Unit, UOM, Delivery date, Lead Time.
Thanks,
Seyed

Hello amarendra,
which field are you talking about ?
The one to access to catalog?
If yes, you have to maintain Web Service value for CAT attribute.

PO Partial confirmation Quantity not updated for non-catalog items in SRM

Hi Experts,
Partial Confirmation plus Partial Rejection from Ariba(Suppliers network) could not be processed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a purchase order.
2) Confirm some part of the quauntity and reject the balance part in Ariba.
3) Open the link in SRM and click Copy push button.
4) Click on Process PO and check PO, the PO is not updated with the changes done in Ariba
Expected Result:
PO should update the changes done in Ariba.
Here when part quantity is confirmed and part is rejected at Ariba, its sending a POR but SRM is not updating anything for non-catalog items when POR is copied onto PO.But where as in the Catalog items partially confirmed POR is copied onto PO.
kindly give your valuable inputs to poceed furthur.
Regards,
Chandu

Hi,
I'm not clear you issue. Is it SC -> PR(backend) -> PO(backend) classic scenario ? or You just created a PO in backend system?
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 will update SC follow-on doc information from backend.

SRM Catalog Export

Hi,
When I export catalog , it only brings me details of the related schema (for supplier and purchasing catalog both) .. but i need the product details also.. Is there anything that i can do or any other way to get this ??
thx,

Hi
Please be aware that there is no specific method of extracting data from SAP CCM, it is generally acknowledged that if you have loaded the data to SAP CCM that you already have this data anyway!
However, if you insist on achieving this then perhaps this will help. There are mainly two (or three) options to retrieve the valuations of catalog items:
u2022     Either you gather some knowledge of cluster database table /CCM/D_VALUE_D, which contains the u201Ccurrentu201D values of characteristics per item u2013 but its access is hard to explain (you should have a look at method READ_VALUATION_DB in class /CCM/CL_CHAR_VALUATION_MANAGER);
o     field RELID is 05 for category valuations or 09 for item valuations
o     field PROCESS is AI for u201Cauthoring catalogu201D or SE for u201Csearching catalogu201D
o     field GUID must correspond to the item / category, for which the valuation should be retrieved
u2022     Or you get the knowledge of relational database table /CCM/D_VALUE_H, which contains the u201Chistoryu201D records of the itemsu2019 characteristic valuations
u2022     Or you get the knowledge of the catalog API to access a specific catalog (using ABAP classes /CCM/CL_CATALOG_MANAGER, /CCM/CL_ITEM_MANAGER and their appropriate data types and structures)
Both u201Ctable accessesu201D have the problem, that these tables quickly contain many records and the records are not selectable via the catalog context.
In this case there must be a u201Cpre-selectionu201D of item-GUIDs, which can be selected from /CCM/D_ITM via field context (the context in /CCM/D_ITM is the GUID of the catalog from /CCM/D_CTLG).
So not such an easy task to achieve, good luck!

Jason

Catalog items visible to everyone, purchaseable only for some users

Hello everybody
Me again trying to find a solution to the following problem:
We need to have some items in our catalog that are visible for every user but only purchaseable via shopping cart / SRM for some authorized users. I couldn't find any possibility in the customizing. So my attempt would be to add an additional attribute in CCM where I can put some kind of flag and then to construct an authorization check based on that flag and on a authorization profile. In case the authorization check fails, the catalog item may not be put in the shopping cart. Preferabily the shopping cart icon should be disabled for such items.
Did somebody out there already think about something similar or already implemented something like that?
It would also be a good basis for offering a publicly viewable, browseable catalog for "window shopping", because I also didn't find a way until now to publish the catalog as a standalone web application without shopping cart functionality.
What do you out there think about it?
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Christophe
Thanks a bunch for your great help! I could solved the problem and am now able to have some catalog items visible but only purchaseable for authorized users. This is what I've done:
1. Create a new authorization class (SU21)
2. Create a new authorization object within this class
3. Create a new authorization field within this object
Don't forget to save and quit the SU21 transaction and then reenter it (/nsu21) because only then you'll see your changes / additions... seems to be a "refresh-bug" in SU21.
4. Create a new role (PFCG) and an authorization profile containing the new authorization object. Assign the values needed.
5. Create a new attribute in CCM and assigned it to OCI cust_field5 (because this one is of type TEXT50)
6. Implemented some code in BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER:
DATA: wa_et_sc_item_data TYPE BBP_PDS_SC_ITEM_D.
DATA: wa_catalog_content TYPE BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S.
DATA: lv_authorized TYPE c.
DATA: lt_limtab TYPE TABLE OF string.
DATA: wa_limtab(10) TYPE C.
DATA: lv_message_v1 LIKE SY-MSGV1.
DATA: lv_message_v2 LIKE SY-MSGV2.
DATA: lv_message_v3 LIKE SY-MSGV3.
DATA: lv_message_v4 LIKE SY-MSGV4.
LOOP AT et_sc_item_data INTO wa_et_sc_item_data.
* Get corresponding line from transferred catalog data
READ TABLE catalog_content INTO wa_catalog_content
 WITH KEY line = wa_et_sc_item_data-number_int
 BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
* If field content for checking authority against is not empty...
 IF NOT wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 IS INITIAL.
* Perform authority check
 AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT '<your auth.object here>'
 ID '<your auth.field here>'
 FIELD wa_tab.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MOVE wa_catalog_content-cust_field5 TO lv_message_v1.
 MOVE wa_et_sc_item_data-ordered_prod TO lv_message_v2.
* Eliminate leading zeroes from product number
 WHILE lv_message_v2+0(1) = '0'.
 SHIFT lv_message_v2.
 ENDWHILE.
* Output message
 MESSAGE ID 'ZXXX'
 TYPE 'W'
 NUMBER '000'
 WITH lv_message_v1
 lv_message_v2.
* Remove item from SC
 DELETE et_sc_item_data.
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Interesting observation is, that when issueing the message with type = 'I' it does not condense the message text. With type = 'W' it does...
I also found out the reason, why the way via ET_SC_MESSAGES will not work: SAP has hard coded somewhere after the BAdI call the message id and message number... so no way to bypass this without a modification.
Kind regards,
Renaud

SRM Catalog Transfer Error

We have just finished installing SRM 7.0 ABAP (AIX/Oracle/NW 7.0 EhP 1) on one server, SRM 7.0 Java (same config) and SRM-MDM (3.0) on another server.
The servers talk fine. We're using ABAP for UME, we've done all of the configuration in the SRM-MDM catalog config guide and the SRM config guide.
We have a test user, set up to be able to see the catalog and shop. When logged in as this test user, we go to Employee Self-Service, Shop and click on a catalog to search. The catalog items are displayed on the screen.
When we try to transfer items to the shopping cart, we receive an error:
"Unit not transferred and cannot be determined
Incomplete items in catalog. Only complete items were transferred."
There is nothing in the J2EE logs, or MDM logs. No short dumps, nothing in the System log on the ABAP side.
Can anyone think of any place else to look?

Log into your MDM_SRM_UI_App, check your OCI setting and find out which field in MDM is mapped to you order unit. And check MDM catalog manager to find out whether or not you are sending this value.
If this check is fine, check the uom has a correct ISO code in SRM and the primary iso code check box is checked. I am sure the first check should solve your problem
Thanks

SRM Catalog Download

Hi all
I need to download the full SRM Catalog structure together with all details from SRM to logcal XML file.
I've checked all around here on SDN but have not comed up with a clear solution...
One of these were : http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1217084
My concern is more or less UNICODE..
So far I have tested this
- I have a deep structure with all the data about the Catalog structure <t_dyntable>
- then I try to convert this contents into UTF-8. By doing this I will get some of the special characters to show up as they should ( it think one of those were .amp that were successfully translated to &)
- Then CALL TRANSFORMATION were done to get the XML-file
Below you can see some different way's I have tried... Trying to use XSTRING.... and download via type BIN for GUI_DOWNLOAD. My starting point was with UTF-16, but with that I could not read the XML file at all - With UTF-8 I can read it but still as soon as some kind of special sign shows up the XML-editor complains about - Not allowed letter. Please help
Best regards

With coding above the download xml-file will contain

Do you know if I could use another way of codepage or something to also handle these special signs.

SoCo - Replace with Catalog Item SC: CATALOGID field not updated

Hi All:
We are in SRM 7.0 and ECC 6 Classic Scenario
In our PDP business scenario, PReq's from ECC goes to SoCo and we replace some requirements with Catalog Item. The issue for our compliance reporting the SC
table:BBP_PDIGP
field: CATALOGID
is not getting updated.
Do we need a BADI to this work or this is a bug?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Any changes you made to the SC in sourcing cockpit will not be saved to the SC tables. This is standard SRM behavior. You may have to write a code in custom programi to save the data back to SC table.

How to delete an item in the table

hi all ,
Is anyone there to give me an idea , how to delete the item in the table , by selecting the row. , for the what i have to do , is there any documentation to follow , guide me itys really urgent.

Hai Madhu,
It is pretty simple.
First u define a button. and in onAction Event of the button write the following code.
process is as follows:
1)get the node
2)get the element
3)using the method remove_element() ,remove the element.
The Sample Code is as follows
DATA:
 node_flighttab TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
 elem_flighttab TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
 node_flighttab = wd_context->get_child_node( 'FLIGHTTAB' ).
get element via lead selection
 elem_flighttab = node_flighttab->get_element( ).
 node_flighttab->remove_element( element = elem_flighttab ).
Follow the above code ,it will definately help you.

Allow changes to SC fields for catalog items

We're on SRM 5.0 (SRMServer 5.5). In contrast to free-text (non-catalog) items, EBP makes certain fields display-only when adding catalog items to shopping cart. We need to make the following fields available for user's input when the user adds a zero-priced item from the catalog:
- price
- currency
- UoM
One solution I can think of is to make EBP treat zero-priced catalog items as free-text items. To achieve that, will it be enough to implement a BAdI (e.g. BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER) to blank out CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM fields?
Failing that, can we use BBP_SC_UI_CTRL method of BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI to make price/currency/UoM available for input?
I know there're SAP Notes to make Price and UoM changeable for catalog items (693175,748855), but they all entail modifications which I'd like to stay away from as much as possible.
Thanks and Cheers,
Serguei

Thank you for your quick response, Yann.
So, you confirm that the CATALOGID field is available to the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BAdI, and that clearing it will open the fields? Also, can I assume that CATALOGID is the only criteria in price determination for my scenario - so that, when CATALOGID is blank, EBP will treat the item price as "manual price", not "catalog price"?
You've brought up a good point about reporting on this field. I'll keep it in mind.
What about the second approach: can BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI (or some other BAdI) be used to modify SC field status for the mentioned fields?
The two OSS Notes are not part of standard, they are not included in any Support Pack, so they're mods, and will be our last option to consider.
Cheers,
Serguei

Duplicate catalog item; price editable

Hi All,
I have a client running SRM server 550; they have an issue that when a user creates a shopping cart and adds a catalog item, the price is not editable (as it should be). However, if the user then creates a copy that item, using the "duplicate" button in the SC, then the price becomes editable.
It appears this is a known problem and there is a solution for this (note 1386176) for SRM7.0, does anyone know if the same solution can be applied for SRM 5.0, or if there is an alternative solution?
Thanks.

Tom,
I suggest you open a message with SAP. The problem here while copying the SC catalog line item is creating the condition type manual and hence it might be allowing you to edit the price. If my guess is correct, then you would be able to change the price on PO as well (obviously you should be on extended classic).
Bu using the Control UI Badi, and having an extended classic scenario, you may be deferring the problem from the SC to PO. You might want to do the same kind of development on the PO also.
Else, SAP has fixed the same issue for us on SRM 6.0. Of course, we could have done the meta data development on SRM 6.0 which we avoided and SAP gave a fix which is applicable for SRM 7.0 also.
Thank You,
DV
