Hi Mandy,
You can do this:
On the MDM Console, right click on the Repository -> Properties -> PDF -> Allow invalid PDFs -> Yes .
Alternatively,
You can also find some information about it on https://service.sap.com/srm within this link on the left frame go into
mySAP Supplier Relationship Mgmt --> mySAP SRM in Detail --> SRM 5.0 --> Catalog Content Management --> SRM-MDM Catalog and you will get the document.
Hope it helped.

SRM MDM Catalog- Scale prices

Hi Experts,
I am aware that, we can upload multiple quantity based Prices in Qualified Look up Table called "Price" in SRM MDM Catalog repository like stated below :
Qty Price
0-10 2$
11-22 5$
But i don't see any option available to enter range value's in Lower Bound field of "Price " Table.
Please assist.
Kind Regards,
SK

Hi Padhi,
normally the price base quantity field is to say how much has to be divided the price
so 1000 EUR for 50 pieces >> 1 piece = 1000/50
The fact is that in the Catalog you have more than one entry for the price, and you have to decide which one you want. The system is not so smart to change the price based on the quantity.
Anyway I tried as you suggested to insert the same price base quantity as the lower bound:
Lower bound: 1 - 100 - 1000 piece
Price: 10 - 5 - 1 EUR
Price Base Unit: 1 - 100 - 1000 piece
In the Catalog I can see the three entries and I can decide which I want.
I choose price 5 EUR but with 1001 quantity (for which the price has to be 1 EUR).
In the shopping cart I have 1001 pieces, price 5 euro per 100 pieces = 50,05 EUR.
This is not the result we want as Scale prices.
Do the Scale price work in your system?
Thank you and Regards,
Maria

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 SRMMDM_CTR_TRANSFER. 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 ROS_SUPPLIER_SEND_TO_CATALOG. But while executing this report I m getting exception "Function module "BUPA_MWX_BDOC_BPS_FILL_CENTRAL" 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?

MDMGX - SRM MDM Catalog

Dear MDM Guru's,
I am new to SRM MDM catalog scenario. Need Data flow steps from SRM and ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog Repository by using MDMGX and MDM_CLNT_EXTR transaction.
For Example : Please provide information in below format.
Currencies from SRM and ECC to SRM MDM Repository
Product Groups from SRM and ECC to SRM MDM Repository
Points will be awarded for useful answers. Please help.
Regards
Jacob

Hi Jacob,
Please find the documents below:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0940876-42fe-2d10-77be-a82aaa163e13?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
MDM_CLNT_EXTR is used to extract main table information.It bacically extracts data in IDOC format so PI is required to convert IDOC format into XML format before sending data to MDM.
Below is the article on MDM_CLNT_EXTR:

Doubts on SRM MDM Catalog

Hi xprerts,
Few doubts on SRM MDM Catalog...
1. I am running SRM MDM Catalog 1.0 and when i launch the http://localhost:50100/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc~mdmsrmui/MDM_SRM_UI_App (Webdynpro UI) am not getting the password field only server with no password is working here.
What should be done to have this password field?
2. I have deployed SRM MDM Catalog 1.0 webdynpro content and SRM MDM Java API on WAS 7.0 and i am using MDM Server as sp5 with SRM MDM Catalog repository .Will it work or not?
Awaiting ur response
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Are you sure you have the latest patch for SRM-MDM? I am at SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0 SP01 Patch00 Hotfix02, and I now have the server password field displayed in Config UI (wasn't there in early versions).
As for your second question, I guess you will have to be more specific. Or better wait until you set everything up, and run a test from Shopping Cart. Then revert with problems, if any.
Cheers,
Serguei

Error replicating customizing data to the repository (SRM MDM Catalog)

Hi Folks,
I am currently configuring SRM MDM catalog, and one of the initial steps is to replicate data from SRM to the repository.
After defining repositories and FTP servers, I am running step "start extraction".
Well, the result page prompts me for errors in the 3 different files it is trying to replicate:

cd "/SRM_MDM_Catalog/Inbound/SSD_120/LT_Currencies/Ready/"
250 CWD command successful.

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.

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

Making changes in SRM MDM Catalog page

Hi All,
I am working on SRM MDM Catalog 2.0. I need to make some changes in shopping cart create screen. My changes include
Renaming the label, deleting the tabs, changing the look and feel of the catalog page etc.,
Can any one guide me whether Is it possible to do any settings in the UI for any of these issues ?If not how can i go about it to make these chanegs in the shopping cart page? Or is there any other way to make these changes..
Can anyone please guide me on this...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hello Sreesha,
You can configure the look n feel of your Catalog Screen.
The SRM-MDM catalog business content, there are some scar files which you have deployed on the server.With the help of that scar file, you can access the search UI Catalog Screen from the link as mentioned below:
Http://servername:port/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Just coneect with your MDM server by server name and password then select your repository.In the standard repository of SRM-MDM, there is alreardy a user as "Master" having role as "UI Configuratation Manager"
Just login with user as "Master" and pwd as blank.
then you can find the UI screen, there are so many functionality to configure your catalog screen.
Hope this will help you.

Hi
Check the SAP Note 967088 and download the configuration guide from SAP official website (SAP Marketplace - OSS Login required). Did you raised any message with SAP as well on this yet. If not, please do the same for faster processing of your query.
Please check what all error logs appear in SLG1 and RZ10 and RZ20 transactions in this case.
Which SRM/CCM/MDM versions, support packs are you using ?
FYI, Catalog names are case sensitive.
OCI parameter should be like this.
0 http://<J2EEhost.domain>:<J2EEport>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
10 username User1
20 password <blank>
30 server <MDM Server>
40 port <Repositiry port>
50 catalog <Repository name>
60 uilanguage SY-LANGU
70 datalanguage SY-LANGU
80 mask <blank>
90 named search <blank>
User name and password mainatined in MDM console is case sensitive.I would suggest you to follow this step
1.In MDM Console for User1 enter password as user1(note that password is all small case)
2.Ensure that you enter the password in similar manner in defining OCI.

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
Nilson

>Hi
>So, If I want to crate create and publish catalos manualy I can use this >webdympro?
.How can access this webdympro?
>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.

How to use the Masks in SRM-MDM catalog?

Hi Expert,
We are at SRM-MDM catalog 3.0.
There have two types of SRM contracts were transferd to one MDM catalog repository, and we config two different number range for these contract types. We will creat two web services in SRM IMG, only the same number ramge of the contracts could diaplay in one web service.
As this requirement, may be the MDM function Masks could be a solution I think. But when I try to separate the contracts with two masks in MDM Data Manager, I have no idea that how could I set the key filter with the contract number fields.
Could every expert tell me how could i set the Masks as this situation?

Hi
Have you assigned the masks created in data manager to some role in Console(Console-Roles TableRole1-Table and fields tabMask--add Mask 1 say)
Once the mask is assigned to the role then only the role can see records pertaining to that mask else it can see all the records in the repository.
