products not getting assigned to product catlog

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am learning crm and needed your advice on product catlog.

My products are not getting assigned to product catlog (both automatic as well as manual).

There are 2 queries related to creation of sub area -

1) I wanted to know, what comes in Cat Area type - ie does it remains blank or something is assigned to it?

2) When I enter my product ID under item overview, the errors comes as product 0000..510010 does not have data for sales management.

Please advice me on above 2 queries.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your help but I am still not able to assign products to the product catlog.

I have created products under MAT_CAT1 category and have assigned the sales org created by me only. Everything seemes to be fine. Just not able to understand the error which comes ie - product 0000...510010 does not have data for sales management. Where should I make changes for my product to get assigned.

Please advice.

Thanking you in advance.

Catalog area is a kind of categorization or grouping or hierarchy in a catalog. For example, if yuo are creating a catalog for a super market, then Clothes, Groceries, Toys etc. could be Cat. Areas. With in a catalog area one can define more sub-areas - for example, in Toys, you can have sub-areas either by Age 5-10, Age 11-15 etc or by Brand. This is the case of manual assignment. In case of *automatic assignment, the catalog area and sub-ares will be part of the Product hierarchy.

All you need is a definition for the Catalog Areas. You need to assign products only if there are any in that area or sub-area.

2) When I enter my product ID under item overview, the errors comes as product 0000..510010 does not have data for sales management.

Did you download them from ERP system? Then you must download the Sales Org data. In the same token, if you have created this product in CRM, then you should maintain the sales data tab,
