SRM product category contract using MDM retrurns contract with item 0

[Former Member]

We are using SRM 5 with MDM catalog 7.1 using Ext classic scenario.

We've created more than 1 SRM contract for the same product category in SRM, eg. 2 contracts both for prod category STATIONERY with 2 different vendors (eg. vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1 and vendor 2456 contract 44000999 item 1). In the MDM catalog we reference 1 of these contracts/items, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1.

When we select this item from MDM catalog it pulls in the vendor and the contract number, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330, but the contract item is shown as item 0 (contract 44000330 / 0).

If however, we have only one contract for a product category, eg. TRAINING and we enter this contract/item in MDM, when we select that item from the catalog it copies the vendor and the contract along with the correct contract item number, eg. contract 44000661 / 1.

Any ideas why it is doing this? Cannot find any SAP notes or other postings on SDN with this problem.

Thanks

Neil,

Question : so in the catalog u have one item with 2 contract price info - ya ?

1. can u open MDM data manager and check how it looks in there ?? for the same item (0 ??)

if yes - then the problem is : what data is sent to be stored in MDM from SRM via XI

check in XI (xml load) - whats the value in there ?? item 0

then theres a proram error in the SRM distribute contarct.

that needs to be fixed.

hth

thanks

Thanks.

The issue is when we have more than one contract for the same product category. Both or only one of those contracts might be assigned to items in the MDM catalog. The catalog has the correct contract, AND the correct item number against the catalog item.eg. contract 123456 / item 1

If there is only one contract then there is no problem and the correct contract AND item number is copied back into the shopping cart, eg. 123456 / 1. Only when there is more than one contract for the product category does MDM pass back contract item 0 eg. 123456 / 0

We're not loading via XI. We're loading from a spreadsheet.

Any more ideas?

Thanks

SAP advised to upgrade SRM-MDM to latest available SP / patch.

We wish to upgrade SRM from SRM5 to SRM7. We are currently on EEC5 and

use CCM catalog with SRM.

Can anyone please advise:

What version of ECC is SRM7 compatible with? Will SRM7 work with ECC5 ?

Can you use CCM catalog with SRM 7 or do we have to implement MDM ?

What portal version must SRM 7 run on?

Is MDM compatible with ECC 5 ?

Thanks

What version of ECC is SRM7 compatible with? Will SRM7 work with ECC5 ?

SRM 7.0 is generally compatible with all ECC version R/3 4.7+

Can you use CCM catalog with SRM 7 or do we have to implement MDM ?

You can use CCM, see note 1311274, please bear in mind though that support for all versions of CCM ends in 2013.

What portal version must SRM 7 run on?

SRM runs (if upgrading from previous SRM release) on a 700/7.01 Basis, so the SAP Netweaver 7.0 stack will include the correct and relevent Portal version for your SRM.

Is MDM compatible with ECC 5 ?

Not sure about this, but at a guess, I would say it is!

this is starnge !

ok, so now

i believe you see this SRM Catalog UI ??

go to MDM data manager - choose Contract tables

and see if the value format the same for both the contract in place !

if yes - then this looks like a bug in the catalog UI - and report a bug to SAP

thanks
