Subsequent addition to new product categories of supplier list

Hi,
Business Requirement:
An existing supplier, for whom a contact person is already created and is having a valid user ID and password, now wants to send his requests to include him in the supplier list for some more product categories.
Supplier selects some more product categories in a webpage of portal.
System sends a link to supplier's email, which on clicking, will take him to a page where he can enter the answers to questionnaires assigned to the product categories(s) selected by him.
Buyer verifies the answers and subsequently add him to some more product categories in the supplier list or rejects the request submitted by the supplier.
Question:
1. We would like to know, what is standard business process available in SAP which is "SOMEWHAT" similar to above requirement.
2. If available, Which (SICF) service needs to be used for this? or what settings/configurations are required to achieve this.
Thanks.

Any update please.

  • Create new product categories

    Hi,
    We have a SRM3.0  system,
    I need to create 10 new product categories in the system.
    Where can i create them.
    Thanks & Regards
    R.M.

    Hi Kam,
    You can assign the GL account to the product category, but you have to create the product category first by manually(TCODE: COMM_HIERARCHY) or by replicating from ERP, and then assign the GL account to the product category in SRM(SPRO -> SAP Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Account Assignment).

  • Registration of Suppliers to New Product Categories

    Hi,
    As we have seen, during registration of new suppliers, system offers a list of product categories to select. System sends questionnaires related to the selected product categories, to prospective supplier's email ID. The supplier submits answers to these question. The buyer will scrutinize the details, registers him as supplier and also maintains supplier list for the product categories which he has requested.
    Now the supplier is interested in some more product categories. So he has to select some more product categories. The system should send him a questionnaires for those product category. The buyer will scrutinize the answers submitted by the supplier and maintains supplier list for those product categories.
    How to map this scenario in standard SAP?
    Ganapathi

    Hi Ganapathi
    Nikhil is correct.
    i assume that supplier want to register some more product category which is not in the system . sorry if i understood wrong.
    or it is just understanding between buyer and supplier.
    There is no fixed rule that whatever supplier register the product category and he will receive the PO or contract.
    It is understanding between Buyer and Supplier what type of product category supplier expert to do service for the purchase organisation.
    Whatever product category is existed in the ROS system the same only can be registered by the Supplier.
    Because purchase organisation uses only some product category which they wants for their organisation.
    For ex
    step 1:-BREAKS product category - TVS registerd in the ROS system and become supplier
    step 2:- again TVS supplier want to add WHEELS product category ? and expects a questionaire for WHEELS from the Purchase organisation?

  • How to automatically update products and product categories?

    Hi friends
    How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
    regards
    venkat

    Hi,
    The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
    The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
    -Initial loads:
    Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
    -Delta loads:
    This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
    With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
    Also refer the foll thread:
    Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

  • How to sync new catalog , categories and products created in ACC to pub db

    Hi all,
    I have created new catalogs+categories and some sample products in my ATG application using ACC. I can access them in my application.
    Now i want to move ahead and create some promotions + scenarios for those products. I went through the docs and got that recommended approach is to use BCC for these items and then deploy them to prod instance.
    But before that since the newly added catalogs and products are available only with prod db, i should sync them up with my pub db. so that both of my db will be in sync. I tried to look help/steps for this but did not get any.
    Can you pl provide some pointers about this, how can i do that? Any link/site for the required steps will definitely help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Swati

    Hi Grado ,
    I doing first step, but when entering password and drp port on acc window it saying-
    Could not connect to URL:  rmi://localhost:8852/atg/devtools/UpdateAgent
    Either the dynamo Server is not running ,or the hostname and/or port number are invalid
    please tell me anything i doing wrong.

  • Creation of new product hierarchy and products in SAP CRM.

    Dear all,
    please help with resolving of following issue:
    In CRM system base hierarchies were replicated from R/3 system with materials. Current requirement is to create new materials in CRM directly (as standalone scenario). As far as I understand, I have to create new hierarchy with required list of set types in order to allow creation of products in CRM directly (product type = material). Can anybody describe changes in the system step by step, what should be changed and where?
    As a result I need to have a possibility to create products in CRM directly for sales scenario processing.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Jorge,
    thank you so much for your reply!
    Here what I tried to do:
    1. I created new category in hierarchy R3PRODSTYP, added 3 set types: COMM_PR_MAT, COMM_PR_SHTEXT, COMM_PR_UNIT as basic set types.
    2. In the SPRO - Cross-Application Components - SAP Product - Settings for Product Type - Number Assignment - Define Number Ranges for the Product Type "Material" I found my new product category is unassigned, so I assigned it to the "CRM Products" group.
    3. Farther I tried to create a new product for created category in CRM Web UI, but was not able to find it in the Base category search field. All categories correctly displayed from R3PRODSTYP, but my new category is absent. What can be the reason of category absence? Btw, it cannot be found even when I try to display whole hierarchy in Web UI, however, in SAP GUI, it can be seen via tcode comm_hierarchy.
    Here is the setup of hierarchies in the system:
    I have no idea how to check #3 "Ensure the hierarchy is assigned to CRM application".
    Can you please suggest, what should be changed in addition? Thank you!

  • Urgent: Replicating Delta Product categories

    Our users have requested to replicate additional product categories from R/3 to EBP system. Do we need to run R3AS (Initial download-DNL_CUST_PROD1)? Is there any delta mechanism available for product categories?
    Regards
    AS

    Hi Alok,
    there is no delta flow (like for materials) for product categories.
    So yes, you need to run the initial download on DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
    This will update the existing hierarchy (by creating new categories and changing existing ones).

  • Impact of Addition of New Value Fields in the existing Op. Concern-COPA

    Hi All,
    Want to know the steps of adding new value fields in the existing operating concern in COPA?
    What is the overall impact of addition of New Value fields in the running Operating Concern?
    How do we test the addition of new value fields?
    Is the addition of New Value fields to the running Operating Concern advisable?
    Your support and advice is highly anticipated and appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    9819528669
    Ohter details are as follows...
    VALUE FIELDS : Defines the Structure of your Costs & Revenues. (Op. Concern 120 Value Fields) 
    1)     The client requires three new value fields to be created. Value fields for :
    -     Other Airport Charges - International
    -     Cargo Commission Cost
    -     Personal Cost (Direct)
    2)     What are the Steps involved in creation of new value fields? The steps are :
    1)     Before creating new value field we need to check whether we can use already existing UNUSED value fields (There are 62 value fields created for the op concern 1000, in production the value fields TBUL1-L7 i.e. to be used (I assume) screen shot1 provided. My predecessor has used value field VV291, VV292, VV380 original description being TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1. I believe he has changed the description in development client and created a transport request ref screen shot 2)
    2)     You can create new value field thru T-Code KEA6 (4-5 characters beginning with VV) u2013 My predecessor has reused the value fields originally created he has not created new one I believe. please provide give your comments)
    3)     Specify whether this field is for Currency or Quantity (currency defined in attribute of op concern and quantity defined by its own field u2013 unit of measure) u2013 My predecessor has configured the three value fields as Currency.
    4)     Describe how the values in this field are aggregated over characteristics. (SUM, LAS, AVG) u2013 My predecessor has aggregated all the three value fields as SUM and they are in Active status.
    5)     After the value field is created you have to add the value field (active status only) to the operating concern by Editing the Data Structure. (I guess this is done in the next step)
    6)     Assign newly created Value fields to the Operating Concern u2013 T-Code KEA0 (In development client the value fields are assigned to the op concern 1000 refer screen shot 3. In the production client also those three value fields exist (does it mean they are assigned? your comments please.) As they have the original description TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1 refer screen shot 4.
    7)     After the Data Structure is defined you need to activate them. (creates plan vs actual database) u2013 Go to the data structure tab and Choose Activate. The status in dev client is Active with correct description but in the production client it is Active with the OLD description. After addition of the value field you need to regenerate the operating concern. T-Code KEA0 u2013 right?
    8)     Condition Types are assigned to Value Fields? Donu2019t know u2013 T-Code KE45 (I think this is NOT required in our case u2013 Please give your comments)
    9)     Define and Assign Valuation Strategy u2013 Cost assigned to Value fields u2013 T-Code KE4U (I think this is also NOT required in our case)
    10)     Define PA Transfer Structure for Settlement u2013 T-Code KEI1 (This step is crucial u2013 I think I have to to include newly created value fields, but am not aware how to do it and what is the connectivity or what happens after this is done)
    Note: My predecessor has created a Transport Request No# KEDK902167 for the value fields created by him.
    3)     Whether my predecessor has performed all the steps for value field creation? How to test it and check that?
    4)     If yes then,  Do I need to perform additional configuration or can I proceed to transport it to Production?
    5)     What is COPA Allocation Structure & PA Transfer Structure? Where and Why It is used?
    6)     What are the different methods of cost and revenue allocations in SAP?
    7)     I have checked the status of the value fields across clients, It is as followsu2026
         Value Field     Value Field For     Description     Development      Quality     Production
    1     VV291     Other Airport Charges International     TBUL3     Exists      DNE     DNE
    2     VV292     Cargo Commission Cost     TBUL4     Exists      DNE     DNE
    3     VV380     Personal Cost u2013 Direct     TBUL1     Exists      DNE     DNE
    #DNE : Does Not Exist (assumed since the description given to value field is not the same as in development client.)

    HI sree,

  • Defining New product type in CRM 5.0

    Hi Guys,
    Can anyone tell me how to define new Product Type for CRM(Standalone Products) like material, Service, warranty, financing .
    Thanks in advance
    amar

    Hi Kovela,
    I haven't come across any IMG activity which allows to create a new product type in CRM. Why do you want to have a separate product type. It is not so easy to create a product type because you also need to create additional attributes and set types. In general all existing product types are stored to table COMC_PR_TYPE. Also you need to maintain a separate structure (COMT_PROD_MAT_MAINTAIN_API) for each product type.
    Why don;t you enhance the existing product type by creating new attributes and set types as per your requirement.

  • New production server PLUS upgrade!

    After years of groveling, weekly church visits, and burning incense, it appears that I will finally be able to get a new production server for our 3.3 TB data warehouse. They are also going to add 2 TB of space to our main storage array.
    In addition, management wants to upgrade from 10.2.0.3 to 11gR2 as part of that migration. Our current server was not able to handle 11g, according to Oracle.
    In recent times, I have had to do some very non-standard things as a dba, mostly due to insufficient resources. So these migrations may not be as straightforward as what you read in the docs, and therefore I would like some opinions about how best to achieve the migration to the new box, and to 11gR2.
    Our current environment is a Sunfire 6800 Sparc 64 box with 12 900mhz cpus and 16G of ram, and Solaris 10.
    Most of our datafiles are housed on a 3.7 TB Sun 2540 storage array, but due to space and performance constraints, it was decided to put one very large and mostly unimportant tablespace (350G) on a 2.1 TB Sun 3511 array. We also put our 2 temporary tablespaces (about 54G) on that array. Also on the 3511 array is our db_recovery_file_dest area, with all of our archived redo logs and flashback logs. Due to lack of space there, I have to direct our RMAN database file backups, archived log backups, and exports to an unsupported Hitachi SAN, which is 8 years old, like our Sunfire 6800.
    The new server is a Sun M4000 with Solaris 10, so the OS will not be an issue. It will have 4 4-way 2.5ghz processors and 32G of ram. The newly expanded 2540 array will have enough space to hold us for a few years. It is currently 3.7TB, using 2.6 of that. When expanded, it will be about 5.8TB.
    My mission is to move all of the temporary tablespace and other data files (about 1 TB) and the exports (1 TB) to the newly expanded 2540. We will keep the space (2.1 TB) allocated on the 3511 attached to the new server, but it will be used ONLY for recovery-related files; rman backups, flashback logs, archived logs, etc. My goal is to keep at least two full rman backups in that space, along with all the necessary archived log backups. We are supposed to get everything off of the old SAN. So, there will be a lot of file shuffling, nothing new for this shop.
    My plan would be to install 10.2.0.3 (same exact version) on the new server, then hook it up to the existing storage arrays. (My boss thinks that will reformat all of the disks on those arrays, but I don't think that is necessarily true. I believe it is possilble to mount each file system on those arrays to the new box, so long as they have been unmounted from the old one. Then again, I am not a Unix Admin)
    Next, I would startup-mount the database, move the necessary files to the 2540 using Oracle and Unix commands, then shut down the db. Then, I would install 11gR2 with all patches on the new server, and upgrade the database manually, in place.
    If my boss is right and connecting the new server to the existing arrays means re-initializing them, he asked if we could use our last RMAN backup to restore the database in the new environment. I said if we were still running 10g at that time on the new server, and all the file systems were identical, that should be possible. However, I should note that we do NOT use an RMAN catalog (RMAN uses the controlfile). We have no place to put an RMAN catalog. I have never even had a place to test doing a restore with RMAN.
    If anyone out there has been through a migration to a new server along with an Oracle upgrade, I would appreciate any ideas on the best way to go about it.

    Hi,
    Its not recommended to upgrade OS and Database same time. I would recommend :
    1) Migrate database from Old Server to new Severs.
    -> Install OS, packages, patches, create users, groups, mount points and configure kernel parameters as required.
    -> Restore $ORACLE_HOME, inventories, mount all data partitions on same mount points similar to old servers
    -> Perform relink for all oracle home binaries using command relink all command.

  • Cannot see list of Product Categories in Shopping Cart entry screen

    Hi All,
    I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
    Although I appear to have sucessfully replicated the backend R3 Mat Groups into SRM Product Categories, as I can see them in the hierachy screen, i.e. Hierachy ID R3MATCLASS in trans code COMM_HIERARCHY, they are not appearing in my Shopping Cart entry screen Product Categories drop down.
    I have looked in Org structure maintanance and can see two things that may be the root causes:
    (a) In 'Exended Attributes', if I select the Source System, I do not get the option to list the product categories in the match code box
    (b). In the 'check' screem, the system is displaying the message 'Attribute ITS_DEST not yet defined'
    Any feedback on how I can pull in the groups during cart entry would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Kathirvel,
    I am not sure if this workaround is correct, but rather than using trans code BDLS as you suggested, I defined the logical system 'ABC' . This logical system was the assigned as a target system in 'Assignment of Logical Systems' under the product category customisation (table COMV_LOGSYS_MAP)
    These changes subsequently allowed the drop down on the Org structure when selecting a Product Category in extended attributes, therefore making the list available in the web front end.
    The IMG help text for COMV_LOGSYS_MAP says:
    Case 1
    You have created the categories in your test system. They therefore have the logical system <SYSTEM_TEST>. So that the categories can also be changed once they have been transported into the production system, the categories must have the logical system <SYSTEM_PROD> in the target system.
    Maintain the following entry:
    Source <SYSTEM_TEST>
    Target <SYSTEM_PROD>
    The logical system of the categories will be changed from <SYSTEM_TEST> to <SYSTEM_PROD>.
    This appears to have resolved the issue. I would be interested to hear what you think,
    Many thanks , Steve,

  • How to assigned the ATP categories to supply categories

  • How to add new product version in Mopz?

    Hi,
    Can anyone guide me how to add a new product version in maintenance optimizer?
    I am going to get the stack file of Netweaver gateway 7.4, but without the product version, I could not proceed.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Dear Friend,
    1.    Maintain Solution Manager information in the system’s SLD data supplier. In case of ABAP system using tcode RZ70 and incase of Java system using the Visual Administrator/NWA(for NW 7.3 onwards)àSLD data Supplier.
    2.    Once the data supplier jobs gets executed you system will appear under SMSY under Server, Database and (Technical System in case of Java systems).
    The ‘Data Source’ should be LMDB.Note: Please don’t changes to the system in SMSY
    3)Execute transaction code ‘LMDB’ in your solution manager system.Select Technical system(Give Application server ABAP and SID of the Server)
    4)Click on Edit and select Software
    Click ‘Add’ and it will show Product Version screen  and  search for your installed product.
    5)Select your relevant usage types and once done choose ‘Close’ and save the data.
    6)Assignment of Product System :
    Click ‘Assign to Product System’
    Now Product system does not exist, hence we have to create one. Choose ‘Create’ and confirm
    7)After that complete Landscape Verification check..it should be green.
    8)Go to Solman_setup and complete Managed system configuration.
    after that Create Maintainence transaction and generate stack file.
    Before doing all activities make sure that ST-PI and ST-A/PI Patched should be applied in Managed server(NW 7.4) and run rtcctoll.
