SRM MDM blocked item transferred to SHC

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have a situation where blocked items (Active or Inactive) can be easliy transferred from MDM catalog to Shopping cart. With this standard field the expectation is to block the item which is not desired to be procured.

But right now, If the standard field blocked item is put in Active or inactive, there is no difference, the item can be procured without any warning or error message.

We want blocked item to be displayed in the catalog but not transferred to the SRM shopping cart or at least give an error message.

Also the copy of a old SC should check in the catalog if the item is blocked and refresh the SRM SC item line with this information but generating an error or warning message.

How to resolve this issue. All helpful answers will be rewarded.

Note-> We are in SRM 5.0 extended classic deployment with MDM 2.0

Regards

Kapil,

The easiest way to resolve this problem is by defining a NAMEDSEARCH with Active items only and use it in the Call structure in IMG. However, this will block display of all blocked items.

If you like to display blocked items in catalog, and warn the shoppers or throw errors, you need to implement the CATALOG_TRANSFER BADI. I do not believe Item Status field is part of OCI structure. So, you may have to use one of the Custom fields available.

Hi,

The requirement is to display the blocked items in the catalog but do not transfer to Shopping Cart or if transfer show a message to not use it.

Kapil,

In that case, you need to

1. Map one of the custom fields to ITEM_STATUS field in MDM Webdynpro UI config

2. Put logic in CATALOG_TRANSFER badi to validate this and give warning/error message
