custom field in catalog

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Ext Classic Scenario,SRM 5.0

BACKGROUND: Our catalogs are maintained by a third party vendor.We have requested the vendor to set up a new field in the catalog.Into the new field,the users will enter a tariff code when they are shopping in the catalog.The users know the code details.This field will have to be transferred to SRM shopping cart and from there to the purchase order.

Question: Now what information about the new field do i need to communicate to the vendor..so that he can set it up in the catalog.

Data type is integers/numbers,field length is 10 digits.

Other than that,what other information do you think i need to pass to the vendor?Any check list?

Please let me know your thoughts.

thanks...

Jack

Hi,

The data can be passed in one of the NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD[X] fields available in the OCI interface. Refer to the OCI 4.0 documentation for details on the field length restriction on each field (documentation attached)

The data field should then be mapped to the relevent Shopping cart or Customer Field in the SC by use of the Badi BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
