CCM Characteristics

[Former Member]

Hi!!!

We are trying to upload a schema file for a CCM Master Catalog. The upload fails and the folloowing error message appears "Characteristic /CCM/VERSION not found".

We have initialized the characteristics already, any ideas what is happening?

Thanks!!!!

Hi Renaud,

I try it but I doesn’t work.

Item Valuation;/CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION;VERSION_ID

116CMB2151;Laptop;2

Now the error is “Error when updating item 116CMB2151 (ID) instead” of “Value for catalog item CMB2151 (supplier part no.) of supplier 1012413 is incorrect” (when it was Item Valuation;/CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION;/CCM/VERSION_ID

116CMB2151;Laptop;2

What I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!!!!

Hi Patricia

Did you specify VERSION_ID on schema level? E.g. like that:

Schema;MyCatSchema;VERSION_ID;{EN}Catalog schema

This line comes after the characteristic line but before your categories.

Kind regards,

Hi Renaud,

I didn’t specify the VERSION_ID on schema level.

I just had:

1. Schema; Schema ID;; EN Description Text

Schema; Schema_ID;;

1. Schema; Schema ID; Version; EN Description Text

Ulysses_test_data Schema Now I’ve got: Schema; Schema_ID; VERSION_ID; Ulysses_test_data Schema

But it still not working (error message Value for catalog item CMB2151 (supplier part no.) of supplier 1012413 is incorrect)

So, Now I’ve the VERSION_ID in 3 different palces

1. Characteristic; Characteristic ID; Data Type; Multi-value Indicator; EN Description Text

Characteristic; VERSION_ID; /CCM/ID; FALSE;

1. Schema; Schema ID; Version; EN Description Text

VERSION_ID Schema; Schema_ID; VERSION_ID; Ulysses_test_data Schema

And in the Content part

1. Supplier Part Number; Supplier ID; Short description; Version

Item Valuation; /CCM/SUPPLIER_ID; /CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION; VERSION_ID

And this one I tried it VERSION_ID and /CCM/VERSION_ID)

And I still get the error message Value for catalog item CMB215 (supplier part no.) of supplier 1012413 is incorrect.

Any other suggestion?

THANKS!!!!

Hi Patricia

I think I missed something before... do you have defined categories in your CVS file?

The CSV 2.0 file should somehow look like this (my separator is "|"):

SAP CATALOG CSV 2.0 <|> full
Defaults|EN
Model
Catalog|MY_CATALOG|02|OWN_CHAR_1|OWN_CHAR_2|{EN}My Catalog
Characteristic|OWN_CHAR_1|/CCM/ID|FALSE|{EN}Own characteristic 1
Characteristic|OWN_CHAR_2|/CCM/ID|FALSE|{EN}Own characteristic 2
Schema|MY_CAT_SCHEMA|OWN_CHAR_1|OWN_CHAR_2|{EN}My catalog schema
Category|root|||{EN}Product categories
Category|ABC|root||{EN}Product category ABC within root
Content
Item Valuation|Category ID|/CCM/BASE_UOM|/CCM/HAS_DAILY_PRICE|/CCM/LEAD_TIME|... etc.
1|ABC#MY_CAT_SCHEMA|PCE|false|0|...

Carefully verify the order of the characteristics you specify in the item valuation line.

And what about other standard characteristics? Some are mandatory! E.g.:

/CCM/PRICE#/CCM/AMOUNT
/CCM/PRICE#/CCM/CURRENCY_CODE

Maybe you'll find the help doc from SAP useful:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ccm20/helpdata/en/e1/eddebb4b63453cbf209027e0816b8c/content.htm">Catalog in CSV2.0 Format</a>

Kind regards,

Hi Dinesh,

What I did in my csv file in order to create it was introducing a new row with the characteristic

<b># Characteristic Characteristic ID Data Type Multi-value Indicator EN Description Text

Characteristic VERSION_ID /CCM/ID FALSE VERSION_ID</b>

In the content part, I add a column with the characteristic

<b>Content

<b># Supplier Part Number Short description Version

Item Valuation /CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION /CCM/VERSION_ID

116CMB2151 Laptop 2</b>

But then when I uplod it an error message comes Value for catalog item CMB2151 (supplier part no.) of supplier 1012413 is incorrect. And I’m sure that is due to the version characteristic because if I leave it in blank or I remove the column I can upload the file without any problem.

Do you know what’s the problem?

Thanks!!!

Hi Patricia

Assuming your separator is a ";" (semicolon), then try this:

Content
Item Valuation;/CCM/SHORT_DESCRIPTION;VERSION_ID
116CMB2151;Laptop;2

Own defined characteristics may not begin with /CCM/...! In the characteristic row you introduced you specified VERSION_ID and not /CCM/VERSION_ID !

Kind regards,

Hi Patricia,

I hope yr initialization (/ccm/initialize_cme)was successful.

The Chara /CCM/VERSION you have mentioned is not a predefined chara for CCM 2.0.

For this pl. use OCI mapping for new chara.

Pl. refer CCM 2.0 config guide.
