Problem with supplier catalogs upload

[Former Member]

Hi friends,

Iu2019ve got a big problem with supplier catalogs upload in language, differing English. I have unreadable text in language-depends fields in catalog.

What could be a reason?

Hi Marina,

Can you give us an example of the text which is becoming unreadable?

Hi Marina,

Can you save the file in unicode text while saving as txt file. But i am afraid SAP accepts this format or not.You can do test in deveopment server. Check it up.

Hi Muthu

Unfortunately, I can use only CSV format for uploading catalogs in CCM, not .txt

[former_member183819]

Hi Marina,

This text was typed with Russian keyboard so thats why your facing this problem.

the same text you type in english keyboard and save in csv format. it will workout.

check up with your supplier. Jason- Do you agree?

Muthu,

Of course you are right, if I upload text in English everything OK, but I need catalogs in Russian, that is why I used Russian keyboard.

I need catalogs in Russian, but I canu2019t upload it. Nevertheless I can create catalogs in Russian manually without problem!

Why?

Hi

Can you check csv unicode format available like csv (comma separate) in your system?

Sorry Muthu, and how can I check it? In explorer or somewhere else?

[former_member183819]

For example paste this data into excel file and try to save as CSV UNICODE ?

Hi Marina,

SAP support cyrillic characters but there are restrictions especially in the category naming,

the following characters are valid for category id's in SAP CCM:

!"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`{ }~

(See class attribute /CCM/CL_DATA_ACCESS_CONSTANTS -> CO_VALID_ID.)

So if it is the category id that is the problem this is likely the reason!

Muthu,

CSV UNICODE file format is not supported in CCM

Jason

There I can find this attributes - /CCM/CL_DATA_ACCESS_CONSTANTS -> CO_VALID_ID?

[jason_boggans]

Hi Marina,

Go to SE80 -> Class/Interface -> /CCM/CL_DATA_ACCESS_CONSTANTS -> Attribute -> CO_VALID_ID.

There you will see the values:

' !"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`{|}~'

Yes Jason

Now I have ' !"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`{|}~' in the system

Could you tell me, how can I add Russian there?

[jason_boggans]

Hi Marina,

For this, category id, you cannot without modifying this constant data (not advisable)

You should just ensure that your category names correspond to the characters contained in this set of numerals/data.

But it is not handy because where are no Russian character. And I have to upload catalogs in Russia.

Maybe I can add in this attribute Russian letters? Or do you know another solution?

[jason_boggans]

Hi Marina,

This affects only category names/id's, other texts like short text etc are not affected.

However, for cyrillic characters you cannot use these in category id, you must then redefine your category naming convention perhaps making them numeric

Hi Jason,

Category ID is not a main problem. Of course I can make them numeric.

But I canu2019t upload value of catalog characteristic in Russian, for example /CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION - Short Description.

Do you have any idea?

[jason_boggans]

Hi Marina

Can you email the csv file to me so I can check this?
