SRM product category contract using MDM retrurns contract with item 0

We are using SRM 5 with MDM catalog 7.1 using Ext classic scenario.
We've created more than 1 SRM contract for the same product category in SRM, eg. 2 contracts both for prod category STATIONERY with 2 different vendors (eg. vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1 and vendor 2456 contract 44000999 item 1). In the MDM catalog we reference 1 of these contracts/items, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1.
When we select this item from MDM catalog it pulls in the vendor and the contract number, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330, but the contract item is shown as item 0 (contract 44000330 / 0).
If however, we have only one contract for a product category, eg. TRAINING and we enter this contract/item in MDM, when we select that item from the catalog it copies the vendor and the contract along with the correct contract item number, eg. contract 44000661 / 1.
Any ideas why it is doing this? Cannot find any SAP notes or other postings on SDN with this problem.
Thanks
Neil

Thanks.
The issue is when we have more than one contract for the same product category. Both or only one of those contracts might be assigned to items in the MDM catalog. The catalog has the correct contract, AND the correct item number against the catalog item.eg. contract 123456 / item 1
If there is only one contract then there is no problem and the correct contract AND item number is copied back into the shopping cart, eg. 123456 / 1. Only when there is more than one contract for the product category does MDM pass back contract item 0 eg. 123456 / 0
We're not loading via XI. We're loading from a spreadsheet.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

SRM Product Category replication

Hi,
I have a problem while replicating the product category from SRM 5.0 to R/4 4.7 system. When I run the load the entry is stuck in the queue and the error message says:
The current application triggered a termination with a short dump.
I have reset the status of the queue and tried to execute it again and it gives me the error as "Function module does not exist or Exception raised".
I have checked St22 and SM21 for any system logs, but could not find any.
Can any one please let me know what could be the possible problem.

SRM product category replication issue

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the product category from ECC to SRM
I have run the R3AS, but no success,
In SRM SMQ2 no entry created
In ECC SMQ1 no entry created
In R3AM1 "DNL_CUST_PROD1" is running status, not changing to green
I also found that
In R3AM1 DNL_CUST_BASIS3 also running and both the status is block
Please help to resolve status.
Thx
Jai

Hello Roy,
Kindly follow the below steps to resolve the issue here.
1) Maintain the table TBLSYSDEST in both SRM and ERP system with regards to the logical system and Technical and Dialog rfc's.
Also assign the MW_admin in the rfc user.Register the queues with * smqr.
2) Follow the sap note 720819 and maintain all the 5 tables correctly.
3) Before you start the download, you must use transaction SE38 to execute the report BBP_PRODUCT_SETTINGS_MW in the EBP system. In the 'User' field, enter the consumer name that you selected (for example, "SRM").
Select the radio button depending on whether service products should be active or not. The report starts with the default settings in test mode.
4) Ensure that the table CRMATAB in ERP system holds the entries after the step 1. IF it is blank then follow the sap note 1498111 and run the report SMOF_FILL_CRMATAB in SRM.
5) Also check for the R3-Guid in the tables CRMMLSGUID (SRM system) and CRMPRLS (ERP system ). Both should be identical with the logical system.
Kindly abort and load the object again, it should work fine.
Also to replicate the new material groups, you need to trigger the delta load.
Best Regards,
rahul

Show Material Group Long Description in SRM Product Category ?

Hi,
We have entered Short and Long Decriptions for Material Groups in R/3 and we have run the replication too. We want to show the Long Description of the Product Category to the users on the web screens.
We know there is a setting in SRM to do this but we don't know what it is.
Please let me know if any one has idea.
Thanks
venkatesh p

Hi Venkatesh,
You can only transfer one of the two descriptions, if you want Long desc, go to
SM30
COMC_HIERARCHY
NEW ENTRIES
SELECT TRANSFER 60 CHAR DESC.
Thanks

SRM Product Category's Logical System

i found in comm_hierarchy and i felt weird for our product categories data.
in comm_category, our category_id is R3MATCLASSXXX (XXX = Dev system), but logsys field is Prod system. how can this be done? i thought the category_id and logsys should be the same?
thanks.

Hi Glen,
The ID is autogenerated by system depending on the source system defined in middleware setting.
This should not happen unless somebody does system copy or change material master replication settings from dev to prod. If none of these cases are applicale to you, I will suggest you to raise an OSS.

Prashant

Product category in srm should over write the punch-out catalog category

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement to overwrite the product category which is coming from the punch-out catalog with the SRM product category.
Exactly saying i am looking for a mapping program.
Because the product category schema in Punch-out Catalog is different from the product category schema in SRM.
Is there any BADI that is available to help and Can anybody has the experience in doing so....??
with regards,
mahesh

Hi Pierre,
Actucally i am using NIGP as the Schema, Can you explain me how we can do with more details how to configure the settings to map the exteranal product category with the internal product category and with out going to BADI.
IMG> SRM> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content management --> Mapping for schema.
You set your schema for product category (UNSPSC, ..) and then define the mapping for a schema .
Thanks for your response,
Mahesh

Punchout Catalog product category - Default product category mapped

Hi,
Currently we are getting default product category even though punchout catalog is sending different prooduct categories?
We are using UNSPSC categoires and even punchout categories also same but default product category is coming not the punch out product category. Please note that if i click on Describe requirement then one default product category is coming up so same product category is coming for punch out catalog items.
Can you please give me some idea how this is picking up.

Product category account assignment relation

Hi Experts,
I have deleted a relation between a product cat 1234311 with WBS in the spro configuration. when i am trying to create a SC with the same product cat 1234311 with WBS element. system is not giving any error message and it allowing me to create a SC in the system.
Could you some suggest me on this. our requiremnt is that for the product cat 1234311 users should not be able to use WBS while creating a SC.
Regards,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Please use BADI - BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to validate the required fields and throw error messages in case particular account assignment category is used with regards to a concerned product category.
The product category and account assignment combination is maintained to pick the account assignment details by default if a particular product category is used.
The system do not throw any error messages until and unless the account assignment details used are valid.
Hope this clarifies you and helps in resolving your issue.

Teja

Error when creating service product category in Shopping cart

Hi ,
When I am creating a shopping cart for service type product category I am getting an error message
" Item 1 is created as service item. Please change it to goods".
Do I need to do some settings to enable shopping for service type?

Hi,
First you need to publish your service which you would get from the dropdown fro utilities->setting->its->publish.
Also check in transaction SICF whether your serivce is actiavted- else activate the same. you can find your serivice under the following path

Vendor error message in sourcing cockpit when change product category

Hi there
We are having a problem when changing the product category in the sourcing cockpit.
The product category is linked to a vendor list. When you change the product category in the sourcing cockpit and choose a vendor by doing a vendor search and then click create purchase order, it still gives the error message "please choose vendor". Somehow it is not reading the vendor.
Is there any way to solve this with a note or something?
Kind regards
Deepa

Hi
when you display the cart in work area , the vendor would have picked .i think you can see in one of the basic data .
dont you try to prosose a source of supply and assign sos.
i am not sure where mistake has happened ?
can your business allows you to complete the cart and create a new cart since all our data is different
once you change the product category. for eg. it linked with purchasing group upon responsibility of product group and this purchasing group linked with purchase organisation internally and vendor....so..on .
one small change product category impact data more..
it is not recommend to change the product category here. product category may link with responsible purchase group and purchase group is linked with purchasers w.r.t purchase group .
regards
muthu

Comparision of Product category qualifier with item category segments

I am working on one component in which i need to compare the product category qualifier value of a territory with ordered item category segment1||segment2.
But when a value is entered in product category qualifier in oracle sales and telesales, Item Category description value is saved. that value is not directly saved in jtf_terr_values_all table. I am getting that from JTF_TERR_VALUES_DESC_V view. Is it advisable? and how to get the segment1 and segment2 values of an item category from that qualifier value description field.

Hi,
Any solution for the above issue!
Thanks,

SRM - Contract management - product category - SRM 5.0

Hello,
The product category was set as mandatory field in the contract management.
By creating a contract or modifying an existing one, a product category must be selected.
When I'm connected in English, i can use product category search function, and all the product category are populated.
I'm so able to select a product category in the contract
But when I'm connected in French, it is impossible to use the search function because no values are populated.
I already check the transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, but English and French are already set.
Thank you for help.

1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC.

How Product category contract replicate from SRM to ECC?

HI, dear experts:

Hi, Muthu
I made e some change in ECC . and the error info is "Combination item category W /account assignment category U not defined" in BD87 .
     item category 'W' is material group in ECC.
how will i do ?
   thank you
Hi, Muthu
     I made the setting in ECC to permit 'Combination item category W /account assignment category U', and the contract can reach the ECC.    in ECC, the contract item category is 'W' (material group).      actually, in ECC ,material group contract can be created wihtout 'W'.    the MM consultant also don't except 'W' as item category, should as empty.   Will I do some change in SRM . how to do ?
thank you again
Hi, Muthu
     By testing, I found the situation:
    when creating contract, in item, if I select Item Category as 'Product Category' , then I can't input 'Product ID' ,'Unit', 'Price', etc.   I can only input main info such as 'Target Quantity' 'Target Value' etc.
     when the contract is generated in ECC.     the item category is 'W' , Target Quantity is empty, Price is empty, the Target value that is input in SRM    is disapeared,   in other words, this kind of contract don't have price (value) .
      is it normal?
      my business expect it is like with product ID. can this be realized?
detail 'W' can be known from url:
