Product category duplicate

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

We are on SRM7.0/ECC6.0 (Ext classic)

I have a peculiar problem. Our SRM system was earlier connected to one ECC system (say ECC100), later we changed the ECC system to ECC200.

Now everything is working fine. However when user directly plugs the product category while creating a limit SC, the system throws a prompt saying 2 product categories with same number exist. This is because we had done middleware settings again for ECC200 and COMM_HIERARCHY has 2 hierarchies.

But I have restricted the product categories in extended attributes to the current ECC system. Also when we do a search for prod categories the system shows only hierarchy for new system. Only when user directly plugs in the category number, does he get that prompt.

Please suggest. Will give full marks.

Best Regards

Hi,

It happens because you have product categories from ECC100 also in your system.

Did you also create any documents using ECC100 categories ?

If No, you can try this :

Use program COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE and delete ECC100 hierarchy (along with categories).

Best regards,

Hi Ramki,

Yes POs were created when ECC100 was connected to SRM.

Does this mean I cannot delete categories now?

Any other workaround?

Best Regards
