Hi,

Is it possible to edit the catalog created from a contract. I am trying to edit the contract catalog,but could not edit the same.

Also the cataloges created from contract is not displayed in the user attributes so as to raise the shopping cart from contract cataloge.

Hi,

Conract catalog is not a publishable catalog.

Only Master Catalog and Procurement Catalogs are publishable and will appear under Attributes, if you maintain in Define External Web Services.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

As you know in the CCM we have different catalogs but we can publish only two catalog, which was mentioned by Mr. Ramkumar.

We only do the mapping with Master or Procurement Catalog and Publish the same.

We also maintain the same Catalog Id in the SRM Server ---> Master Data --> Define web Service --> maintain the Catalog Id in the Standard Call Structure.

User will able to use either Master of Procurement catalog which is mapped with the other catalog.

Please award the points if it helps.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks you for your reply which was really helpful.

However after doing all these things iam getting an error `Your session has timed out - call up SAP Catalog Search Engine again in SRM ' for the contract catalog alone. Rest of the cataloges are working fine.

Also is it possible to edit the contract catalog as we need to upload the images to contract catalog.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

For uploading the Image into the Catalog u need to Use T.Code SE80 --> go to MIME Repository --> create a folder with the image and give the same path in the catalog.

It will work.

Please award the points if it helps.

Hi Sudhakar,

As already mentioned to you the contract catalog is not a publishable (nor strictly editable) catalog, it is simply designed to add to the CCM enrichment process.

A contract catalog will have a flat structure when initially distributed from SRM -> CCM with simply the contract ID as SCHEMA ID and the contract items contained within. Based on enrichment criteria a search is processed and once a match is found in a supplier catalog the contract catalog is enriched with the supplier data further expanding it's schema structure.

e.g

Contract 4400000023 is distributed to CCM, it contains Item1 and Item2 for vendor/supplier ID 1000.

Once successfully distributed to CCM the system will look for a matching catalog with supplier 1000, it then checks within this catalog for the Item1 and Item2. If found, it enriches the contract catalog with all the data contained within the supplier catalog, i.e. images etc if they existed in the Supplier cat. In turn, the contract catalog data is then mapped to the Master and subsequent procurement catalogs for publication and shopping. End result is the most enriched versions of Item1 and Item2 possible with all the data of SRM_EXTRACTED_CATALOG (if applicable), Supplier Catalog and Contract catalog in the end product.

So - in short, there is no real possibility to manually extend data in the contract catalog as this functionality is provided automated already using the supplier catalogs.
