SRM MDM Catalog - Taxonomy table

Hi all,
Could any one please let me know, that do we realy  require to create Taxonomy table in SRM MDM-Catlog scenario?
Please assist.
Thank You.
SKP

Hi SKP,
NO. not required .
Taxonomy mode is available if the repository contains taxonomy tables.
Taxonomy mode is unavailable if the repository contains no taxonomy tables.
all depends on your data model .i.e  upon your repository . as you aware repository can contain one main table and sub tables.
for eg. sub table - Taxonomy - product group ( tree structure like hierarchy of categories and  subcategories...
Hierarchy table - product  hierarchy

  • Decimal places in SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0

    Hi experts,
    Iu2019m using SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 and Iu2019ve an issue related to the decimal places configuration.
    Our products are defined with 2 decimal places and after importing the records I can see them in Data Manager with the correct price information. However, when I access my catalog in EP, I can see all my records but without any decimal places. For instance, if I define a price 1.25 Eur for one product, in EP I have 1 Eur.
    Can someone help me? Itu2019s really important that we can show the product correct price.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    My problem was in MDM Data Manager - currencies table. If you choose currencies table, select your currency and check if there are any decimal places defined.
    You can also check in MDM Console price table u2013 amount u2013 decimal places.

  • 2 Hierarchy Schemas in SRM-MDM Catalog

    Hi,
    I try to find out how to server two hierarchy schemas in SRM-MDM. Your suppliers even deliver catalogs in eClass or UNSPSC classification. In search UI I need now both in the search. So I built up two tables eclass513 and unspsc as hierarchy tables in MDM and filled them with the relevant data. In customizing of the search UI I do only see "Hierarchy" and "Category" as selection. How can I see my own hierarchy tables there?
    Best regards
    Roman

    Hi Roman,
    Please refer the OCI field mapping section in the config guide of SRM-MDM Catalog. I think you have to do OCI mapping with the MDM field via config UI.
    when you login into config UI, there you can find the options "Shoppin Cart" and "shopping cart preview". Go with first option and click on OCI mapping.you will find the window for the OCI mapping with the MDM field.
    then you can see the 2 hierarchy in the catalog.
    I am not sure but might be possible.
    hope this will help you.

  • SRM MDM Catalog Multiple Imgae (field) display in UI

    Hi MDMers,
    I have configured the SRM-MDM Catalog and I had done Import data, mapping data, OCI, SRM call structure and UI settings. Everything works fine when we call the Catalog in SRM.
    My SRM -MDM Catalog needs certain custom fields which should hold some Button indicator for item classification (Red, Amber, and Green)
    Already we used MDMSRM_IMAGE field to have pictures of Item and mapped in Display view in UI manager.
    I tried one more custom field for the Image to hold this buttons (.gif file) but unfortunately it is not bringing the indictor images, just place holder is exist without indicator image.
    Could you please help me and give some work around solution to bring that Button Indicator in My Catalog view for each item.
    Please light up something on TEXT HTML, TEXT BLOCK, HYPERLINK and mime type
    Is it possible to have the .gif Image by using above functionality? If so please guide mates.

    1. My MIME Type is GIF.
    2. My url is
      http://fssomsdits01.forensic.gov.uk/eMerge/images
    The URL path contains my Images file like GREEN.GIF and RED.GIF
    Where I have to display the 2 images according to the catalog Item.
    As per forum discussion I tried the steps.
    I declared the MIME Type & Hyperlink type (rendered) in Look up table.
    I have mapped the fields in Catalog item table for MIME Type<hyper link> & URL<hyper Link> and Hyper Link.
    The data is just replicating in DATA manager, but not displaying in UI as image.
    Please can you help me to sort it out?
    Just explain me how to enable the Hyperlink field to line item.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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,

  • Service hierarchy for SRM-MDM catalogi scenario

    Hello,
    We tried setting up the 'new' SRM-MDM service hierarchy catalogi. I've looked over some sdn threads already and read the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/6b/7fb967f6cd4df0a5a9d5dec7e4aa72/frameset.htm. Both told me the service hierarchy should work in the SRM 'bidding/RFx' scenario. Since service hierarchy should work for RFx we continued trying setting it up but ran into the following problem:
    Up on opening our service hierarchy catalogi it returns the following message 'Table is empty' and does not show us any items(mss hierarchy is enabled in the SRM-MDM UI configuration for this catalogi). If we change thé UI setting to 'products' the items do show-up in a 'flat' manner (without hierarchy).
    - We've set up grouping in the SRM-MDM catalogi for these items
    - We've set up an entry in the MSS hierarchy lookup table and assigned this entry some of the catalogi items
    - We've not setup any MSS Hierarchy price
    - We've setup the item types, the outline item is of type 'MSS header' the subtypes are of type 'Free Text' and the MSS hierarchy entry is of type 'MSS header' aswell.
    - we've setup the hierarchy manually with testdata via the important manager (no pi/ix).
    Could anybody confirm service hierarchy works in the RFx scenario (mss hierarchy enabled)? Is there something we've missed or are forgetting? Any other pointters are greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Tim

    Hello Masa,
    We have not loaded our service hierarchy catalogi items from ECC nor SRM. We've manually set-up test-date via the import manager and data manager tools. This, as long as you set it up correctly, should still work in my oppinion?
    For the UI configuration the service (mss) is enabled causing the 'empty table' line to show up. If we would change it to 'product' the items would show but in a flat manner.
    Do you have any other pointers . F.e. what the item types should be (subitems: free-text and header: mss-header) and what the role of the mss-hierachy and mss-pricing table are and what we should do with those?  We've configured grouping (main item, component item, substitute item ..) to enable hierarchy is this correct?
    Ps. What does 'MSS' stand for, what does it mean?
    Kind regards,
    Tim

  • MDMGX - SRM MDM Catalog

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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).
