Description from punch out catalog changing

[Former Member]

Hi,

We having classic scenario with GOA on SRM server 5.5 and CCM 2.0.

We are facing problem while creating shopping cart using punch out catalog of our vendor.

We have found that description coming from punch out catalog is getting changed once we select plant or storage location on basic data tab. This description of material is getting replaced by descrition of material maintained on basic data tab in ERP.

This is happening for only two vendors. Can anyone throw some light on this? What could be possible reasons? What should be checked to ensure that everything is fine.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hi,

I think the external supplier sends OCI NEW_ITEM-MATNR value. Usually external supplier does not know buyer side material master code. So external supplier does not fill NEW_ITEM-MATNR. If you expects external supplier sends buyer side material code, I think the behavior is correct.

Hi Masa,

I have query in this regard. Do we need to provide buyer material code to vendor? We are using our material number for buying office stationary item so material number is same but it will have same descrition passed from punch out catalog.

What should be possible action taken to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your quick reply .

Hi,

Can you provide us exact code and text? I'm not clear your issue.

Catalog side:

- material master number (This should be blank)

- supplier parts number

- item description

Shopping Cart side after OCI transfer:

- material master number

- supplier parts number

- item description

Shopping Cart side after Plant, Location change:

- material master number

- supplier parts number

- item description

Material Master, Product Master:

- material master number

- item description

This problem is resolved after checking configuration of catalog call structure for vendor.
