SRM -MDM Catalog Implementation

Hi All,
            I am currently working on SRM-MDM catalog implementation and would like to clear a few queries regarding the same:
1. What are the different possible ways to transfer data from SRM to MDM?
2. In the configuration guide it is mentioned that if you want to send Contract, InfoRecords, Product Data then we have to use XI. Communication between SRM and XI will be using XI protocol. It means we have to create outbound proxy for triggering data from SRM to XI.
Is this correct please confirm. If yes do we have a standard proxy report to do the same.
3.  In the Functional Documentation Guide for SRM-MDM catalog it is mentioned that to send contract data from SRM use transaction <b>SRMMDM_CTR_TRANSFER</b>. but though it shows the contract data, it is not able to send data to XI. Is some setting required for sending data to XI?
4. In Functional Documentation Guide for SRM-MDM catalog it is mentioned that to upload Supplier Data from SRM system to SRM MDM Catalog repository use Report <b>ROS_SUPPLIER_SEND_TO_CATALOG</b>.  But while executing this report I m getting exception  "Function module "<b>BUPA_MWX_BDOC_BPS_FILL_CENTRAL</b>" not found.".
How do I solve this?
Thanks in Advance
Shiv
Note: Points will be awarded to helpful answers.

Hi Shiv,
you can use the import Manger of MDM to upload XML, CSV XSL data files
The connection from SRM to SRM-MDM is done via OCI 4.0.
If you want to replicate data from your backend R/3 system you have to use XI.
2. Please Refer to the installation guide of SRM-MDM there the connection between Backends and XI is expalained in detail.
3-4 . Have you depoyed every file of the istallation there is also a part to be deployed in SRM?

  • SRM MDM Catalog -Service Item

    Hi guys,
    We got a standard SRM MDM catalog implementation with OCI configuration handling all the item mapping.
    I run into issues when I flag an item as a "Service Item" in MDM by using the default provided flag MDMSRM_SERVICE_ITEM.
    This flag, when set to the true value of X, passes an item to EBP as a Service item as it should.
    However, once this flag is set for an item and the corresponding OCI mapping is done, all other items (i.e. items that have the flag with a false value) in the MDM repository get transferred to EBP as Service items as well.
    So, in other words, once the the MDMSRM_SERVICE_ITEM is mapped in OCI, it flags all MDM items as Service items irrespective of the flag value.
    Any help is deeply appreciated.
    Thanks folks.

    Hi Anshuman,
    We had a same issue. Just you need to set the other value="FALSE".
    Open the MDM Console, select the SRM-MDM repository, Select the main table and navigate to the field Service Item. You will find this field is of type Boolean with True value = "X" and False value = " ". Set the False value = "FALSE" and Default value = FALSE.
    Now check whether the items present in Data Manager has FALSE for service item field by default and then run the scenario it should work fine.
    Kindly update us...

  • Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

    Hello,
    Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146).  With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
    We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
    Using the hyperlink field
    type : rendered
    MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
    URL : web URL
    We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
    Any clues?
    Thanks
    Pravin

    Hi Bala,
    Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink  as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
    I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were  on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
    Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
    Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
    This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
    Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
    This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
    But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade,  I would like to know if there is a workaround.
    Thanks

  • SRM MDM CATALOG

    Hello
    I am implementing SRM 5.0 with SRM MDM catalog and I have some doubts.
    How can I create catalogs and publish it for users in SRM?
    The catalogs are created in SRM accessing MDM catlog or only in MDM. ?
    Thanks

    >Thanks
    Man, you really should read my post... you don't "publish" catalogs with MDM.  You setup a "repository" and load it.  You do this with CONSOLE.  With the DATAMANAGER or IMPORTMANAGER you can maintain repository data.  The MDM SERVER 5.5 is accessed through a url that you define in your catalog call structure.  If you have any more questions, I will help you out.

  • SRM MDM CATALOG VER10

    Hi All,
    There is a requirement at my customer end to have configurable product for catalog items.. it is possible???? As per my understanding it is not....
    Configurable Product like: When some with employee role tries to but computer / laptop... he should be in a position to select from drop down menu in the shopping cart menu as which specification of HDD he can select 60 GB, 80 GB, 100 GB etc as maintained as characteristics multi value; similarly like selection of Display etc...
    Please let me know if you have alternatives or work around's etc...
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hello Ram,
    There are several options.
    1. E-Form
    OCI has Business type = E-Form option. You can develop your own UI and transfer the values by BADI. There is Business card sample in the system.
    SE80, Internet Service BBP_FREEFORM
    SE19, BADI implementation BBP_BUSINESSCARDS
    SE18, BADI definition BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH
    2. Supplier SKU
    If supplier provides SKU, you can put all SKU in the catalog. Memory and Disk should be attributes/Characteristics.
    3. Coming SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0
    I think there are some functional enhancement.

  • SRM-MDM Catalog publication in portal

    Hi experts,
    Iu2019m facing some difficulties concerning MDM / portal integration. We are implementing SRM-MDM catalog scenario and Iu2019ve already created a catalog in MDM Data Manager. Iu2019ve also set the parameters for the web service definition in SRM system, and assigned the Catalog ID in ppoma_bbp.
    However, Iu2019m still not able to access my catalog information in portal. When I try to access my catalog it is necessary to introduce again the logon details and an error message u201CLogon failedu201D is displayed, which is not normal right?
    In addition, if I introduce my logon details nothing happens but the error message is changed for a warning message u201CLogon failedu201D. Consequently I cannot access my catalog in portal.
    Can someone help me? What might being wrong with my catalog publication?
    Many Thanks!
    Best regards,
    Andreia Nascimento

    Hi,
    Yes, You can define any user which has "Catalog User" Role defined in MDM in SRM Web Service". and this is not required to have same user in SRM system. You can assign this web service ID as attribute to any SRM user.
    Did you get "Connection Successful Message"?? I couldn't see that in your Trace.. Once you test Connection then you should get message in Green "Connection test was successful".
    Also, Check the following Things and revert with the result:
    1. Is your repository Loaded?
    2. Try to Console through the User which you have defined in Web Service. This will confirm whether User credentials are correct or not.
    Also, let us know which version of SRM you are working with and what is version of your SRM-MDM Catalog.
    Regards,
    Shiv
    Also Check this document (Page no 32 ) and make sure if you have defined other parameters correctly in the web service definition.

  • SRM  MDM catalog link not working

    Dear All,
    I am from SAP Basis background.
    Currently we have a project to go live on internet. Hence we are changing our link to internet links.
    We are currently facing some concerns for MDM Catalog.
    We have updated correct URL of internet in
    SAP Implementation->SAP SRM-> SRM Server->Master Data->Content Management-> Define external web services ->
    Once respective entries are maintained and then go to portal
    after click on MDM Catalog we receive below login details for MDM server.
    I believe here catalog should be present.
    We are stuck at these point and not sure what configuration needs to be change.
    Any hint on this ?

  • ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

    We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
    Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog.  But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Shiv,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
    The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
    In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
    1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
    2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
    The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
    The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
    So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Andreia

  • SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

    Hi All,
    I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
    The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
    1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
    2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
    We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
    I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
    Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Diego.
    The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
    But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
    Step 1:  Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
    Step 2:  Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
    Step 3:  Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
    Step 4:  Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
    Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
    Step 6:  Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
    Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
    User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
    Relating Masa's path with the above steps
    User ->
    Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
    (Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
    MDM Server -> Step 2
    MDM Repository -> Step5
    DB-> Step 1
    Hope this helps.

  • SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape

    Hi,
    We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
    Server 1 :  SRM 5.0 Running   (HP-UX)
    Server 2:   Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components  (HP-UX)
    Server 3:   Standard MDM Server installation  (Windows 2K)
    We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
    My questions are :
    1)   Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
    2)   Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
    3)   Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards
    Raymond

    Hi Foh,
    Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling.  Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
    I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).
    Regards
    Raymond

  • Installation of SRM MDM Catalog

    Hi SAP Mentors,
    We are installing SRM MDM Catalog. I needed some clarification regarding the same. The version for SRM MDM Catalog is 7.02. Do I need a SRM 7.02 server with MDM 7.1 installed on it , on which I will be putting SRM MDM Catalog?
    Please let me know as we need to start installation Monday. The docs are not very clear.
    Thanks,

  • Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

    Hello,
    When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
    Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
    Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
    This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
    The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
    -  SC will have more than a hundred items,
    - delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
    - materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
    With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
    Could you please share your advises ?
    We use SAP MDM 5.5.
    Regards.
    Laurent.

    Hello Masa,
    Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
    A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
    Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

    What am I missing?
    thanks a lot a happy holidays!

    Hello Priti,
    For accessing the catalog, you have to define the external webservice with the config parameters in SRM System under transaction "SPRO"
    Please refer the SRM-MDM Catalog configuration guide.
    Hope this will help you.
    TNR,
    Saurabh...
