Hello Guys,

Question about product replication please.

Can someone please explain the number ranges during product replication please? How does CRM take number range when ECC Product needs to come into CRM?

Hi KPL,

The product id is determined by the base category of a product and it's type. This can be assigned in the tcode : COMM_HIERARCHY.

The number range is picked up as the object id MATERIALID and the range is picked up as mapped with it's base category.

You can debug in FM : COM_PRODUCT_GET_NEXT_ID

Hi Kp,

I just missed out that we have been discussing the scenario of replication , in case of replication from ECC, the product id shall be same as that of the product in ECC,

For products being created in standalone CRM :

You need to visit tcode : SNRO , for object: MATERIALID , click on RANGES , there next you'll have an option "GROUPS" , enter the same to visit different groups, which are made on the basis of different category.

When you create a product, the system check the defined interval permitted for the category Product-ID in Transaction COMCMATERIALID when you use Transaction COMMPR01 or a product API to create a product using external number assignment.

Number ranges

Check in IMG that the numbers used in SAP R/3 for Material masters are allowed in CRM as external values. Path in IMG:

- Cross-Application Components-->SAP Product-->Settings for Product Type->Number Assignment-->Define Number Ranges for the Product Type "Material"

In Customzing for the product ('Define Number Ranges for Material/Service/Financing'), the system offers those product categories as groups that are defined on lowest level in the base hierarchy (the end nodes of the tree).

the system displays all categories of the base hierarchy in the number range Customizing (not only the end nodes) that have the respective product category and for which the 'Products can be assigned' indicator is set. As a result, number ranges can also be defined also for higher-level categories.

Note that the number ranges are not inherited within the hierarchy. That is, even if you have assigned a number range for a higher-level category, you must nevertheless maintain a number range for the lower-level categories as well.
