Naveen-
This is a pretty standard process. Here are the basic steps you will need to complete.
1. Establish a relationship with Dell - usually coodinated with the business supplier contact to get the required catalog connection info. Dell has much experience doing OCI connections.
2. Determine what, if any, additional data elements you need within the OCI interface - you must coordinate this with the supplier - think about developing a supplier adoption guide/process.
3. Now you can setup the actaul catalog link in EBP via the IMG (SRM Server => Master Data => Define External Web Services) Use type as product catalog, enter the vendor nubmer as the business partner and then maintain the catalog call structure as required by the vendor - generally somthing like:
10 CATALOG URL URL
20 USERNAME USERID FROM VENDOR FIXED
30 PASSWORD PASSWORD FROM VENDOR FIXED
(IF IN SRM 4.0 YOU NO LONGER NEED TO DEFINE THE HOOK_URL PARAMETERS)
4. Now grant access to the required user group in the org - attribute CAT
5. Now you will likely need to think about mapping product categories and UOMs - use the catalog return BADI to perform this function. (however basic functions should work w/out doing this action)
Hope this helps.
