C4C How to manage item type determination when working with different Sales Quote Document Types

[mjveerhuis1]

Hi,

I have set up 2 sales quote types in C4C that are relevant for replication to ECC. Both document types have a different item type.

When creating a sales quote the item type can be selected, but i want it to be determined atuomatically especially as there will be quite some item lines in the sales quotes. And adjusting it line by line manually, is not ideal.

In configuration document types and item types are two seperate entities. Is there a way of combining the document type and the default item type?

Hello everybody,

this can be achieved using code list mapping. If the remote code is maintained empty, the item type is not send to ERP in the request message of the price simulation. Hence the item type determination happens in ERP during the simulation and the result is send back to C4C in the respond message. If the result item type is then mapped using code list mapping, it is taken over to C4C.

Example of a quote creation process with item type determination in ERP:

1. A quote with item type AGN is created in C4C.
2. Since AGN is mapped to ‘ ‘ using code list mapping, the item type is not included in the request message of the price simulation.
3. The item type determination happens in ERP and determines e.g. ZAGN2.
4. The item type ZAGN2 is send back to C4C in the response message of the price simulation
5. Because the remote code ZAGN2 is mapped to the local code ZAGN2 using code list mapping, it will change the item type in the quote from AGN to ZAGN2.

Hey Sascha, thanks a lot for this entry! This solved a blocking issue we had with the external pricing of AGX items during implementation!
