Assigning Settypes to Product Categories

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm about to start building up hierarchies and categories for my CRM Solution (using CRM 5.0). There are a couple of generic Settypes that should be working irrespectively of product type (e.g. Material or Service). One of those settypes is COMM_PR_SHTEXT - but I cannot find it, regardless of which Product Type I've chosen. Is there a step I'm missing. What I've done is:

1. Created a new hierarchy

2. Created a "root category" where I've disabled the possibility to assign products. No product type chosen.

3. Under this root category, I've created other "sub categories" with Product Types assigned.

When I try to assign Settypes to these categories, the settype COMM_PR_SHTEXT does not show up...

Any ideas what could be missing?

Hi Phillipp,

Yes, I have solved the problem...

What you are experiencing is the standard behaviour. Some of the SAP

delivered settypes like COMM_PR_LGTEXT*, COMM_PR_SHTEXT and

COMM_PR_UNIT can only be assigned to Base Hierarchy.

In your customizing setting in transaction COMM_PRAPPLCAT, you have

to assign the hierarchy that you work with as the Base Hierarchy for product type Service (or material if that is what you are dealing with). Hence

you can assign the above mentioned settypes only to that hierarchy.

Hope that helps!

Hi Magnus,

I also ran into the same problem.

Here is what I did :

I Created a Hierarchy ZTSTHIER

Created a category ZTOPCAT - no product assignment possible and no product type selected

Created another category which is child node of above cat - ZSUBCAT - product assignment possible and product type material .

Assigned custom set type with one attribute which is interger.

Assigned this Hierarchy ZTSTHIER to Product application

and also assigned this to the product type Material.

Now I dont understand where do you assign settype(COMM_PR_SHTEXT) to which category/Hierarchy?

Any help is highly appreaciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately, it does not. Even though I do see the set type COMM_PR_LGTEXT show up, the set type COMM_PR_SHTEXT does not show.

Any other suggestions/solutions?
