When is the BAdi BBP_PRODCAT_HIER used?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone tell when the Badi <b>BBP_PRODCAT_HIER is</b> used? As for as my understanding it is called when the product is replicated from R/3 to EBP.

Is there any other place it is getting called?

Thanx,

Hi,

The BAdi is used at the time of replicating product categories from R/3 to SRM.

Chk the code below ...

if IV_CATEGORY_ID = '900400000'.

EV_PARENT_CAT_GUID = '4612B67A60AA03FC000000000A20066C'.

endif.

EV_PARENT_CAT_GUID is the guid of the local pdt. category created in SRM. It becomes the parent pdt.category of the R/3 pdt.category 900400000.

Hi Atul,

I have read the documentation for the Badi.It is given as follows : <b>You can use this BAdI (BBP_PRODCAT_HIER) to change a structure that you get from the ERP System into a hierarchical structure or tailor the existing structure to the required structure.</b>

We have replicated the material groups & materials from R/3 to SRM. We want to group certain product categories under a product category created locally in SRM. For eg. if I have product categories P1, P2, P3, P4 & P5 which are replicated from R/3 and SP1 is a pdt. category created locally in SRM, I want to assign P1, P3 & P5 under this SP1.

I came to know that this BAdi is used for this purpose. But I am not able to find out how it is being used.

Can u help me in this??

Hi

I have not tried implementing this BADI. I am not sure how you can use it.

Anyways, Refer to this OSS note, which might help.
