Run time validation of price and items from catalog during creation of SC

[Former Member]

Hi

We are SRM 5.0 . We have implemented Extended classic with Internal Heiler Business catalog.

In our implenetaion we passes addtional parameter (Region) to web service(Heiler Business catalog) to get region specfic catalogue with region price.

We have created template of Shopping cart for a region with specific price on some older date.

Now if we create a shopping cart from same template on current date (item price and item validation can be changed on current date in Heiler Business catalog for specific region), how system should validate(technically) the region/price/item from Heiler Business Catalog .

Is there any special web service configuration we have to perform ?

Hi Dayal,

Providing the catalog is flagged for validation, i.e. the flag 'Validate product data from SAP Enterprise Buyer' is selected, validation will occur and if any update is required, it will be achieved PROVIDING the Heiler catalog supports the validate method which not all external catalogs do, it is likely that if they do not support background search/cross catalog search that they also do not support validation.

Hi Jason,

Good to hear from you. In our case : "Validate Product data from SAP Enterprise Buyer " has been selected , but Cross -catalog Search is not selected. Though in our case we are dealing with Description Based Item (text item not product item)

We are communicating to catalog company about the validity method to support run time validation of price and items from catalog during creation of SC from template.

So correct my understanding if catalog support validity

1. Existing item new price in catalog:it will bring new price from catalog while creation of SC from template

2. Item has blcked for new purchase in catalog: it will shows error in SC like "incomplete items in catalog or item doesnt valid"

3.My default region is X but template for SC region is Y: While creation of SC from template with region Y it will show error that your default region is X or create SC w.r.t region Y with validation of Y region based catalogs item and price.
