How to create a Catalog (Product/Service) & TAX issues

Former Member

SRM Guru's

Product Ver: SRM 5.0 : ECC 6.0 ( No CCM or Service Master )

TAX S/w: Vertex ( O )

As of now: We are planning to implement a vanilla SRM-ECC (in ext. classic). We are into Indirect procurement w/limit orders.

Catalog:

I want to create a Catalog ( UNSPSC or 1 level company catalog),

1. Can this be created in ECC (with out Products ) and replicated to SRM (EBP)

2. How to go about creating it ?

3. Can it be done with out CCM, if so how

4. How to replicate it ? ( no CCM or middleware )

5. Can i create it in EBP ? if so, plse say how..

TAX:

Vertex mentioned that, Tax codes will be mapped to services, in our case, since we don’t have Services except a free form text describing what service is provided ( eg: "Payroll Service" ), what can be done ?

In a normal scenario, i can imagine having Service Master with all "Services", but in our situation, how can we use catalog to map to TAX codes. ?

PS: If you could, please describe/break down the relationship between

Catalog -- Category Id -- Product -- Services/Materials

regards.,

Hi Rupesh,

I am not sure, whether the concept of catalogs is clear. There is no ability to

create catalogs in ECC. Catalogs are mainly used for indirect materials and for

these no further master records need to be created using catalogs. Master records

are used to order stock material within SRM; for these no catalog is created.

1. Catalog need to be created separatly. It is an own product and can be CCM

or a direct punch out to a supplier catalog via OCI.

2. A catalog is created externally using schemas according to the used software.

A catalog serves like a material master in R/3, therefore there is no material

master for catalog items.

3. Yes, you can use the catalog directly from suppliers / marketplaces and

integrate them via OCI interface into SRM

4. Replication is connected to material master records you wish to use in SRM

as well. This is not connected to catalogs.

5. A catalog cannot be created in EBP. There is a piece of software, like CCM

needed the get the ball rolling.

6. Releationship

One Catalog contains several categories (=commodity codes). One category

contains several products / services.

All products / services maintained in a catalog do not have a material / service

master in ECC.

Hi Rupesh,

Regarding catalog base tax codes, you can create custom tax field in catalog and pass it to shopping cart tax field using BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER. Please assign points if it helps.

<u>To create internal catalog there are three possibilities</u>

1. CCM Catalog developed by SAP.

2. SRM-MDM Catalog taken over by SAP.
