Catalog generation from info record

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm studying CCM 2.0 to implement catalog processes and I've seen a presentation from SAP that when implementing that classic scenario, I can transfer info record, contracts and material master from ECC to CCM via transaction MECCM.

1- What's the matter of importing info records? Only to see the last price that I've practiced for a product/supplier?

2- Is there a manner to set the replication to only transfer material contracts and not service ones? Can I set it in the contract in ECC?

Christophe,

you're saying that I can use info records and not use contracts to create catalogs. Is it right?

If yes, how EBP will handle automatic generation of purchase orders based on contract catalogs?

Cristiano,

I don't understand your question, and what are you trying to do ?

If you use PIR, why are you talking about contract catalogs ?

I you have contracts in R/3 and want them in the catalog, extract contracts from R/3 to send them to CCM.

I you have PIR in R/3 and want them in the catalog, extract PIR from R/3 to send them to CCM.

That's all. Why are you trying to complexify everything ?

Christophe,

I was just trying to understand better the purpose of having PIR catalogs in my environment and now I've got it.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Cristiano,

1- What's the matter of importing IR ? Your question could be resumed to "What's the matter of using PIR in R/3 ? ))))". Some SAP users are using PIR only, and not contracts. So this is THE source of material/vendor price.

2- In MECCM standard transaction, you don't have material type filter, but material ID. If yo uhave linked material types to different number ranges you could use material ID. Otherwise you can easily copy this program to add your own criterias. This program is rather simple:

- data extraction (material/contracts/PIR)

- XML generation

- send XML to XI proxy
