Default product category

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In SRM 5.0- Classic scenario, in non-catalog items SC , when the user doesn't select the product category , system is creating a SC using the deafult product category.

We want to throw an error message "XXX" once the user clicks on details button keeping product category field as blank and , the product category should not be auto-populated from the default one in the basic data as well.

Any inputs?

Hello,

The product category filed could be Blank.

You need to create Dummy productcategory with description "-"

Example:-

PC Description

12000000 -

FYI: We are using in our project as Blank.

Hello,

Execture Tcode: COMM_HIERARCHY

Step 1: First under which hierarchy do want create the new dummy PC. (Ex. GLOBAL)

Step2: In Find filed, selct the Category and Start.

Step 3: select the any product category and click on Choose details button option.

Step 4: Select the Hierarch (Ex. Global) and goto Display <-> Change button and clink on change mode. You can find Create new category button got activated. Click on that.

Step 5: One pop up will come give the Dummy category ID xxxxxxx & Despcription - and save.

Step 6: you can find new dummy category.

Step 7: PPOSA_BBP assign this Dummy category in Extended attributes as default category.

Hello,

I have provided example as XXXXXXX, you need to numeric serial number (ex: 12000000) and description (ex: - ).

If you dont have authrorisatio check with functional consultant or contact security person to give authrisation.

Hi Suneel,

I created dummy Product category as below:

Category Id - ZZZZZ

Category Description - " ."

Since we are validating Account Assignment and G/L account in our Doc Check badi...so it giving errors. I think we wil be able to supress these errors.

The major problem I am facing is the error message which is of abort type " No Logical System for FI is maintained" due to which SC is getting aborted . I think System is showing this message from Include "LBBP_PDF0J" .

Any help on this ?

Hello

This issue can be resolved by using the BBP_DOC_CHECK BADI.

Currently we have followed the following steps to force users to change the Product category

in Shopping carts.

1) Create a Dummy Product Category in SRM using Transaction COMM_HIERARCHY

2) Assign the Dummy product Category at the Root node in Org structure--> Extended Attributes as a default

for everyone

3) Add a code in BBP_DOC_CHECK BADI for Shopping cart. The code broadly will do the following:

u2022 Extract Shopping Cart Line Item Detail

u2022 Validate Category ID not equal to the dummy or initial for all line items

u2022 If any item is found with the dummy ,append the table to et_messages , so that error is displayed to user
