validate availability of existing MDM catalog item in shopping cart

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking at the possibility of creating a functionality that would validate if an MDM catalog item added from an old Shopping Cart is still actually active in MDM.

Here's the scenario:

1. user creates shopping cart with a line item from MDM catalog and successfully orders it

2. MDM catalog item runs out of stock, so it is marked as inactive in MDM

3. user creates another shopping cart by adding the line item from old shopping cart created in step 1.

is it possible to create a functionality that would check, once the catalog item is added to the new shopping cart, if item is still valid in MDM?

Looking forward to your replies. Thanks!

Hello,

I am also implementing the same validation in our system. The price and currency validation started working after activating "Validate Product Data From SAP Enterprise Buyer" in SPRO. But if the item status is set as inactive in MDM, then the system should not allow to create new shopping cart from already created shopping cart for that catalog using Old Shopping Carts and Templates. This is not working , so any inputs on how this can be achieved ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Shruti,

The item status is not validated by standard, so the system is working as designed.

Following wiki site is partly about this topic:

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/KIlRCw

You have to delete the inactive items from the repository if you don't want that users create shopping cart from Old Shopping Carts and Templates.

During the validation only product ID and quantity are sent to the catalog, where it is checked if the product exists and if it exists, what is the correct actual price for that quantity.

Hi,

If validate is set in the catalog customizing then the item is validated in the catalog, if it is no longer available, then the item should not be added to the shopping cart, have you got validation activated for the relevant catalog?
