search help on product category

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We are on an SRM 5.0 system, classic scenario.

When adding an item to the shopping cart, using the 'describe requirement', the user can choose between 'goods' and 'services'. After selecting this, a product category can be chosen. At this moment the system does not filter the search results on product category. If the user for example selects product type = service, we need to restrict the product category choice to only service categories. Anybody an idea how this could be achieved? Standard not possible?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

If this not the std functionality then you may have to modify the search help to restrict the O/P list for services product category.

At one of our early implementations,for the product search in the link "Internal Goods/Services,we modified the search help "BBPH_PRODUCT".We attached a custom function module exit to this search help in which the logic was written for retrieving the products based on plant .May be you can think of something similar.

Are you sure, if the product category is replicated properly or maintained properly in the system;

Yes,

When checking radio button 'goods' or 'services' en afterwards willing to choose a product category for 'describe requirement', the system always shows a complete list of goods AND services.
