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..

UNSPSC code from SRM to PReq

The Manufacturing Part Number field on the purchase requisition (field name: MFRPN) is populated with the UNSPSC code for catalog orders from SRM. However, I am unable to bring this data over to the PO. I have checked config to make sure the field is not suppressed. While it is set as optional, no data is visible. Am I looking in the wrong place? How do I get the field from the requisition to populate a corresponding field on the PO?
We are not a manufacturing company so I'm not sure if there is something else I need to activate in order to populate the field.
Please Help!

Hello Monique,
what is your SRM scenario (classic, ECS ?) and SP level ?
You talk about PR: Are you working on ECC 6.0, with catalog integration in MM ?
If yes, this is an MM issue, and not an SRM one.
Try to post the same question in the ERP forum.
And check OSS notes for MM + MFRPN: there is a lot...
ex:
904632 ME21N: MFRNR not filled with info record data
823058 ME51N: MPN mat not deleted when you change source of supply
812809 External Mfg(EMNFR) not populated for internal material
744799 ME51N/ME52N: MPN material in PReq is overwritten
563965 MPN: Creation of Pur. Order with reference to a document

Hello Venkatesh P
UNSPSC is complex code.
First two (may be three- i'm not sure) digits is material group number.
You should only analyze that and create as-is to-be table for UNSPSC code->material group number relation

SRM MDM, Error, "Table with Code 'null' does not exist in repository"

Hi experts,
We has SRM MDM scenario, while doing OCI settings, we are able to connect with MDM repository but getting follwoing error message in portal, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Can You please suggest,
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

Hi everyone,
Sudhanshu and Anshuk:- Thanks for your response, let me try and explain the real scenario in details:-
We have deployed the SRM-MDM Catalog Search UI in Portal.
We tried accessing the http://<Portal Host>:<Portal Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Then we got a screen (Search UI App screen), where in we have provided the MDM Server name, then the MDM Server Password, then presses the Connect button, then below this, it displayed the Repository name created in the MDM. We have selected the Repository, then provided the Credentials of a User (Name: T_CORP) in MDM which has "Catalog Manager", and the "UI Configuration Manager" Roles. Please note that these Role names were created by us in MDM. Is it the right procedure or do we have any standard Roles delivered by SAP in MDM to map? If any standard Roles are available, where we need to check these.
Once the Credentials of MDM User is provided, and then selected the "Login" button.
Then we are getting the below error.
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Please clarify; we are not configuring any values in iViews. Where we need to do this, I mean name of the iView, and what values do we need provide generally? We are just running the Search UI App application; I don't think it is an iView, because the URL shows the Application name details, etc...
Please guide us, how to fix this Error.
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

UNSPSC Code Mapping with Local Material Group

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 SP05
We are trying to map UNSPSC Code with R/3 Material Group, which has been replicated to SRM. We have maintained the mapping table for UNSPSC with SRM Material Group.
We are using the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to change the UNSPSC with a corresponding material group and are modifying the internal table enriched_item_datacategory_id field. Though we are able to successfully change it in the BADI but the changes are not reflected in the shopping cart. Does anybody know why this happens? Is there an OSS note to resolve this problem?
Appreciate your great help
BR,
Siva

Muthu,
We have not done anything with MDM but as for CCM, I can tell what we have done...
In IMG: Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Content Management, you can define your schemas and mappings.
When shopping through a catalog, make sure the SCHEMA and the UNSPC are passed in the OCI stream. If your scemas and mappings are straight-forward, then no addtional coding is required. However, if this is not the case, addtional coding in BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER may be needed.
I have seen in the forums that many have recommended custom tables and mapping code in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. However, I like to stick to standard as much as I can.
This may be simplistic, but I think it will help you get a idea on the CCM side. Sorry I could not help you with MDM.

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Material creation process in SRM-MDM

Dear All,
I am new to SRM. Please correct me about material creation procedure in SRM if I am wrong:
Normally in classic/extended classic scenario, material first created in MM and then it replicated to SRM. Base on configuration setting for number range, system either create the product ID same as material number number in SRM when it replicated into SRM. In final steps, the product information will upload into MDM either XI integration or manually via excel upload.
My question:
+ Is it possible to automatic create product without XI via T.Code - MDMGX in MDM.
+ If the replicated product ID of SRM is different then MM material number, which number we should consider for creating product
MDM.
Thanks in advance.
BR
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Answer1) You can only replicate Product Groups, Currencies and Unit of Measures through t-code MDMGX. XI/PI is required for Contract and Product Catalogs.
Answer 2) If the replicated product ID of SRM is different then MM material number, you should enter MM material number and in External Web Service Configuration for that internal catalog, uncheck "Do not check Product" indicator so that SRM will not check the Product ID and when item goes to backend system, it will have correct MM material number.
Thanks,
Anshuk Saxena

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 Catalogue Search UI - Qualified table search

Hi,
We are having the following situation:
- We have a catalogue of articles
- We have to tie an article to a location, in addition to a location-specific parameter.
- Exampe:
Article A is tied to location A, parameter A
Article B is tied to location B, parameter B
Article C is tied to location A, parameter B
- The way to solve this in MDM is to use the qualified table. I have created one where:
Location = non-qualifier
parameter = qualifier
I want to make this searchable in the SRM-MDM search UI.
The user should be able to choose one Location, and then one parameter tied to that Location, to view relevant articles.
This is no problem using SAP Portal with MDM. But how can we realise this using SRM-MDM search UI?
I have tried, but can only get a drop down or text search on the non-qualifier field.
Can anyone please help? Is this even possible?
KR;
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Is there any possibilities to configure/add code to the search UI, or is this completely locked for customization/altering through code? Unfortunately, I feel it is standard and we can not customize it.
There is no issue in your design but if your location as well as parameter has certain(limited) number of values only. You can create location field in MDM Main table which is lookup to Locations Flat table and similarly for Parameter field lookup to Parameters table rather than using Qualified table. As you can set lookup/Text field search only, so you can set these two fields in your search criteria. where first you search for Location say US it will search records with US location and when you further give search according to parameter it will further filter(navigate) records based on both Location and parameter, just a thought came which i feel to share with you, try it if it helps you.

Mandeep Saini

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.

Modify catalog Search UI in SRM-MDM

Hi,
I'm working with SRM 4.0 and SRM-MDM 2.0 and need to display more information in the search UI field "Price Information" , i want to add the Contract Description and the Supplier to this qualified table and to be able to see this information in the UI display.
The business logic behind this request is: we have a several suppliers delivering the same product so we have several contracts for the same product and we need to enable the user to decide which contract is the source of supply.
Regards,
Raz
Edited by: Raz Golan on Mar 23, 2009 7:43 AM

Hi Raz,
as the Java WebDynpro code is not open source, you cannot modify the WebDynpro itself.
Also the price information is hard coded, only the specific fields are taking into account by transfer.
Therefore I could only advice, to set up a new table for you, which can be displayed on the search UI, with the needed more information.
Regards,
Tamá

SRM-MDM 3.0, assignment failed, runtime error

Hi all,
We are using SRM-MDM catalog 3.0, MDM-Client version are 7.1.01.78.
When building assignments which include lookup tables, the assignment failes giving the following runtime error:
"Assignment operation failed: A runtime error occurred while evaluating an validation or calculation field"
The assignment is initialising the item type with "Normal". If it is already filled, leave the old value.
Assignment Code Used: IF(IS_NULL(Item Type.[[Record]]), Item Type [[Normal]],Item Type.[[Record]])
The runtime error only occures when the Else-branche is processed.
This code above is also used in version 2.0 of the srm catalog, it is valid and working properly.
The code was re-entered in a, newly created, version 3.0 catalog-repository.

Error solved, we upgraded to version 3.0 Support pack 05 patch 2

UNSPSC code is not passed for RT catalog item then error !!

Hi SRM GURUs,
We have implemented BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI.
In which if a RT catalog item is not having UNSPSC code then we are passing some generic material group for that particular item.
Here the issue is, if a UNSPSC code is not passed for a RT catalog item, then system is throwing error message "No logical system for FI is maintained. inform system admin".
Also, a pop-up is coming on SRM screen "Error in system;shopping cart cannot be processed further" and then after clicking on "OK" of the POP-UP it is taking me on SRM home page.
will anybody explain why this is happening ? Kindly, explain this logic (As this logic is in standard SAP program)?
PS: we are at SRM5.0 & CCM2.0.
Thanks !!
Vivek

Hi Masa,
we tried with blanking out the material group. we have got few errors but not of type like above mentioned.
The errors are as follows.

Tax code ZZ in procedure TAXUSX is invalid
No G/L account was entered. Enter a G/L account
Product category 41E532538A930138000000000A4023DB does not exist
Enter the product category
Error in account assignment for item 1
Not possible to calculate tax
In SLG1 the log is green and contains following.
Start of line 000000 in shopping cart of catalog
External product category 26111710 contains errors or does not exist
where the number 26111710 is the UNSPSC code which i was deleted while debugging.
Please help on this.
Thanks in adv.

SRM -MDM in classic scenario

Hi,
Please let me know if am using SRM MDM in classic scenario then
u2022If I create a shopping cart in SRM do I need to maintain the product category of the items selected from MDM in SRM as well.
u2022Also, if PO is created in MM then does it mean that all the products in MDM have to be created in MM as well. If not then what is the scenario like.
Thanks,
Manu
Edited by: Manu Agrawal on Apr 24, 2009 12:15 PM

Hi
If my understanding is correct ,i will reproduce your question again . If you create shopping cart from the supplier catalogue in a classic scenario how the Material group sync happens when PO is created in the Back end R/3.
My assumption and the practice followed generally is that a Fixed Material group is decided and automatically maintained via OCI interface when shopping cart is created .Which means we define the rule for all catalogue items to determine and populate respective material group automatically into shopping cart.
As shopping cart is created since for the catalogue items there will be contract and source assigned in the ERP ,as soon as PR is replicated to R/3 as per classic scenario , the PR will have supplier assignment and if you run auto order transaction code system will generate PO in R/3 and sent to the supplier based on the condition records.
For the Material group you will configure it in R/3 for all catalogue items and replicate it in SRM and also you will provide input for the BADI or FM which create shopping cart automatically from catalogue through OCI method.
Hope this helps..
