Catalog Validation functionality not working

[Former Member]

Hello Guys,

We are in SRM 7.0 (EHP1, SP8) extended classic scenarios using SRM-MDM. We are trying to activate the catalog validation functionality in our system via "Validate Product Data From SAP Enterprise Buyer".

After setting the above check box in SPRO ,  I created a shopping cart from the catalog and thereafter changed the price of the catalog in MDM. Later when trying to copy the old shopping cart using Old Shopping Carts and Templates , the shopping cart is not transferred and the previous screen (Step 4 ) is returned with no validation happening . However ,  if I untick the check box in SPRO the system is able to copy the shopping carts again from the old templates.

Is there any other setting which needs to be done on SRM or MDM side for this validation functionality to work fine ? Please suggest.

Thanks in Advance,

Shruti

Hi Shruti,

You can create an ICM trace or debug the function module /SAPSRM/PDO_CATALOG_VALIDATE to find the reason why the validation fails.

This can be for example a connection problem or maybe the catalog is not supporting the validation.

Thanks Timea for the reply. It was really helpful.

Now the validation is happening for price and currency. For UOM it is still not working. Do you know for what all fields this validation will work?

Also if the item status is set as inactive for a catalog in MDM, then also the validation should work and 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 as now. Do you have any idea on how can we fix this ?

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:

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.

Hello,

Have you tried to set the "Activate SC Item Price Check From Catalog"?

When copying and old cart, if price is changed in catalog, it should be updated in new shopping cart.
