SRM MDM Catalog - SRM OCI mapping relevant for Contract Catalogs

Hi,
According to the scenario we would like to implement, the contract items are distibuted to a catalog and later on they are recalled within other contracts. In this case to do OCI mapping in SRM (customizing activity?) is still relevant? Is this activity necessary for all catalogs internal or external?
Is this what is enabling to dispaly the catalog within SRM transaction like Process Contracts for all type of catalogs?
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
Thanks for your input,
I did unmapping between OCI fields and MDM fields at OCI Mapping and but i have selected unmapped fields at all Views.
Now when i login and checked at my catalog side, i can able to see the data for that fields, which i have unmapped at OCI Mapping.
My question is :
1) Why this fields are getting values , when i Unmapped at OCI mapping Level?
2) If this fields are getting values at catalog irrespective of mapping/unmapping at OCI Mapping level, then what is the actual use of OCI mapping?
3) where exactly adding of Custom fields at OCI side is helpful?
Your solution will be rewarded in points
Thanks

  • MDM 2.0  - OCI mapping of field "Price Information"

    Hi SDN,
    we are on SRM 5.0.
    we are setting up MDM 2.0. We do a new installation, although we were already on MDM 1.0. Anyway, we want to keep the repository from MDM 1.0.
    Right now we have problems transferring the price of shopping cart positions from the MDM Web Search UI  to EBP.
    what we did so far:
    1. set up j2ee server and oracle
    2. set up MDM 2.0 Server
    3. Deploy MDM 2.0 SP 2.0 Java API and UI stuff to j2ee
    4. set MDM 1.0 Repository in the appropriate place in the file system of MDM Server and unarchived it in the MDM console
    5. run repository upgrade using link from upgrade guide (http://<j2eeserver>:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uiutil/Utilities)
    6. upgrade configuration (same link as before, but step 2)
    still, in the OCI Mapping for price, I still have "price - amount" mapped on NEW_ITEM-PRICE
    and still, the price, which I can see in the search UI, is not being transferred to EBP...
    I am not sure, if I have to have "Price Information - amount" available as OCI mapping field. Right now, this is NOT the case. In MDM 1.0 it used to work fine with "Price - amount"
    In my repository in table cataloge items I have the field "Price Information" which is a qualified lookup table, based on look up table "Price". "Price" contains the field amount, which carries the price value.
    any clues welcome - regards, Matthias

    Hi Masa,
    just another brief status Q:
    Now I am able to receive the price in EBP.
    But this is a workaround. Just for a test I did a new OCI mapping like this:
    I leave the OCI field NEW_ITEM-PRICE blank and use instead
    NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD4 --> mapped on --> Price Information - Amount.
    Thus I am able to get the value of the price field in my BADI bbp_catalog_transfer.
    There seems to be a mismatch of field types. In the MDM Console the amount field is of type 'currency' - I assume this is decimal in fact.
    In my incoming structure in the BADI I have tabletype catalog_content which is based on structure BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S which carries field price of type DEC...  seems reasonable to me - but in the debugger I can't see the incoming price value. Instead now I use BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S-CUST_FIELD4 which is of type CHAR20. This works! I regard this as a workaround and I am still researching to get the price field mapped correctly to the proper price field in my BADI.
    Masi: Concerning your weblog and SLG1 and Errorlog BTC1...
    I set up in SPRO the MDM Catalog and also checked "use error log" for the catalog - still
    I wonder how I can access this log and esp the OCI fields -- can you guide me there?
    I was clicking through the entries of SLG1 but don't get to see the OCI fields of the transfer, though an entry which is because of the data transfer from mdm towards EBP.
    kind regards, matthias
    btw: SDN was down, hence the delayed response

  • SRM-MDM-CAT How to map images in Groups

    Dear all,
    can anybody please explain to me how I can map images in groups to articles?
    What I did yet:
    1. Import Images from different suppliers into MDM. Each Supplier has his own image group. Am I right if I think the images in a group are unique? So two or more images can have the same name in different groups and I then have different pictures?
    2. Now I want to map my articles to these pictures with the import manager. I have the fields: supplier (=group), article_numer and image.
        So how can I map the group into import manager? I only see the image field?
    Best regards and thanks for help.
    Roman

    Hi Roman,
    are you uploading the picture files directly into the repository or you only using hyperlinks?
    By hyperlinks you can map this directly in the import manager. The image you have to import.
    If you have all the needed pictures in the rep., then you have to map this in Data Manager.
    There you have to select the items, which should have the same picture and in Image you can select the picture. Don't forget to save the changes!
    I hope this helps.

  • OCI mapping for External Punch Out Catalog - SRM

    Dear SRM Gurus,
    We are using SRM 7.0 Classic scenario.
    We have a scenario to External punch out catalog. I am  aware of Web service call structure, UI config and  BADIs.
    But I am very much confused that how exactly the External Catalog data will be mapped to SRM? Where would be the inbound OCI mapping done for External Punch out catalog.
    Kindly share your knowledge.
    Thanks.
    Regarsd, Magesh.

    Magesh,
    The OCI field mapping is done as specified in OCI 4.0 specification. If you like technical details on exactly where the mapping happens, you can search for FM OCI. Also, the CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI can be used to read the data that has been mapped and change if needed.

  • Number of Custom Field Restriction between SRM MDM OCI Mapping to SRM

    Hi Experts,
    We have a project requirement to cater to 70 Plus custom field which is NON Standard fields transferred from SRM MDM to SRM Shopping cart
    We need to understand if this is achievable??? by enhancing OCI mapping and Catalog Transfer BADI.
    We appreciate your response in this regard.
    Regards
    Prashanth

    Hi,
    There are 5 pre defined custom fields in the OCI, NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD[1-5] are available, each with different structures (i.e. field length etc) to support different requirements. All are of type CHAR though I am pretty sure.
    These fields can be passed via the OCI interface and then mapped to standard PROCDOC fields using the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi.

  • SRM MDM Catalog ---- SRM

    Hi,
    Is there a middleware (Pi) required to connect "SRM MDM" with "SRM" ?
    Can anyone explain the integration between these two.
    Points will be given
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the SRM MDM Catalogue bundle provided from SAP, there are 2 SCA files provided along with the other components. So your basis team need to deploy those SCA files through SDM (Software Deployment Manager) in SRM Portal. The files arovided are for background connectivity of MDM+SRM and the second one is for UI(User Interface) Management. So after deploying the same, your basis team will provide you 1 url which is composite of your server name, port etc.
    Paste that URL in Internet Explorer and it will route you to that UI Manager. You should have UI Manager role assigned to your user ID so that you can access the UI. By Default there is 1 user created in MDM as Master with blank password which is used to maintain the UI as it has that role assigned to it.
    So when you open that link, it will ask you for server name, password of that server and later User ID of SRM repository and Password. When you login into that, it will show you the configuration done for SRM Portal. There is one button named as OCI (Open Catalogue Interface)mapping. So when you press on that, it will open the OCI mapping sheet where the MDM fields will be mapped to corresponding SRM Portal fields to view the data. By this mean only the connectivity is done for SRM MDM Scenario.
    XI is required in only case when you need both the functionalities like you need to use SRM MDM and normal MDM scenario in a single repository. For eg you have one catalogue consisting several materials which are displayed as Catalogue and all the materials which are changed, should be sent to XI to send it further.
    Once OCI is done, you need to maintain the webservice in SRM System for accessing the catalogues in MDM directly. For that Masks are created and assigned to that particular user id. In web Service, you need to define the URL, Server Name, Repository Name, Password, Mask etc by which you can automate the process and bifercate the users to access the catalogues related to their country or organisation.
    Please let me know in case of any issues.

  • 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).

  • Catalog validity period in SRM-MDM

    Hi
    I am using SRM-MDM v 7.1.
    In the subtable 'Catalogs' you can create a catalog name and specify the validity dates of that catalog:
    You can then assign a Catalog ID to each item in the main Catalog items table.
    The problem is that there does not appear to be a way to create a Named Search around the validity dates of the Catalog.
    I know there are various other ways I can achieve the hiding of expired items but it seems strange that the standard product does not make use of the validity dates in the Catalog subtable.
    I just wanted to check that I am not missing something with the use of the Catalog subtable.
    Many thanks
    James

    I've done some research and it appears that in the Free-From search I can write an Expression Search and then save this as my Named Search.
    Can anyone tell me how to write an expression for Validity Period End Date is lower than today?
    Thanks

  • How to use UNSPSC code in SRM MDM ?

    Hi,
    We are in migration from CCM 2.0 SRM MDM.
    In CCM , we are uploading the catalogs with UNSPSC and material group. Either any one is mandatory.
    If they give UNSPSC code in catalog, while uploading we are mapping to correspoding material group.
    But in SRM MDM , we dont have UNSPSC table it self. We will create that table in main structure of MDM catalog.
    But how to map the UNSPSC code to material group?
    Mapping is available in SRM table.
    Please give me some ideas..

  • Unable to Map Contract Catalog to Master Catalog

    Hello,
    We currently use CCM 2.0 with SRM version 5.
    Our issue is that when items are added to a contract catalogue and released, the contract releases successfully but errors appear in the upload logs advising u2018It is not possible to retrieve the data types for catalog **********. Catalog update was terminatedu2019.
    The contract catalog then has a red light against so we are unable to map the contract to the Master Catalog.
    The issue appears to be intermittent as we have had some go through successfully.
    I have checked the following:
    SXMB_MONI u2013 shows as successfully processed
    SLG1 u2013 shows no errors
    /CCM/D_CTLG_REQ u2013 there is no entry in the req_sender field
    /CCM/D_UPD_STATE u2013 the status is 02 u2013 completed with errors.
    Iu2019ve seen a similar issue posted with the advice to run /CCM/CLEANUP_DIS_PERSISTENCY, however I havenu2019t ran this before and would like some advice on the impacts of doing so before I run it in our Production environment.
    Can anyone provide some information on why this issue could be occurring and what I can do to resolve the issue?
    Many Thanks
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    Such an error normally means the catalog is corrupted, you can run the cleanup_dis_persistency report in the hope that it can repair the links but it is doubtful, it is more likely that you will have to delete this contract catalog and then re transfer the contract to CCM again before mapping to the master.

  • Schedule changes and validity dates for prices in product catalog(SRM-MDM)

    Hello!
    I'm working on a project that is going to use SRM-MDM and the question is if it is possible to schedule changes(for example to add new prices that have a validity period, can you make the changes now that are going to be valid from 1st of februari?Or can I add products today that are only going to be available to buy from a particular date?).
    The other question is if it is possible to have a validity period for prices and when the date is valid,then the product is shown in the catalog.In the same way that when the date is not valid, the product is not shown in the catalog.Can this be made automactically?Can a logic be build to choose which products are going to be shown in the catalog?
    Do you have any suggestions for those issues?
    Thanks in advance!
