Hi, I am faced with this as well (UNSPSC from table). I have no previous experience with SRM or BADi's. Can someone please help me too? I have 2 questions. Do I put my code in the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER BADi? and how do I get my UNSPSC to show up? I have run this in debug and changed et_sc_item_data-catelog_id but it's not showing up on the screen....only the default is showing. Many thanks for any assistance. Amy

We implemented the BADI.

We ended up implementing a BADI to address this issue.

hi all,

here is the solution

depending on the CATEGORY_ID fetch the corresponding CATEGORY_GUID from the database table COMM_CATEGORY and then modify changing parameter ET_SC_ITEM_DATA transporting both CATEGORY_ID and CATEGORY_GUID

thanks

Hi,

The message i still contained in et_messages regarding the invalid category id, so even though you have 'corrected' this in the Badi you will also need to code the Badi to clear et_messages where message = bbpws 013or something like that, I cannot remember the exact message id .... but chcek in T100 for the BBPWS messages and you'll find it, or just clear et_messages where the message type = BBPWS

Then your category will be retained

hi jason,

i have deleted the messages contained in parameter ET_SC_MESSAGES where ID = 'BBPWS' but still the category ID value is getting defaulted

Hi Shivraj,

We would then need to debug to determine why this is happening, what SRM release are you running?

hi,

we are using SRM 7.0

yes i have debugged and as i told it changes the value to the default value in function module BBP_CATEGORY_READ it where the value S1032 is getting defaulted in category_id field

Hi,

The category is only changed under the circumstances ~

1. The category provided by the catalog is invalid in SRM

2. No category is passed from the catalog

In these cases, the user default category is used.

Now in instance 1 above, you should see some messages in et_messages BEFORE accessing the Badi BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER. Use then the Badi to specificallyclear these messages from the et_messages table and append the table then to et_sc_messages (or whatever it is after Badi call) when exiting the Badi.

hi,

do i need to clear this et_messages parameter in some other badi other than BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER because in this badi there is only 1 parameter ET_SC_MESSAGES

rgds / shivraj

[jason_boggans]

Hi,

No - et_messages is changed in the BAdi as et_sc_messages:

• call customer function

CALL METHOD lo_catalog_transfer->enrich_item_data

EXPORTING

is_admin_data = ls_bbp_cat_trans_admin

CHANGING

catalog_content = lt_oci_item_data[]

enriched_item_data = et_enr_item_data[]

enriched_acct_data = et_enr_acct_data[]

enriched_item_longtext = et_enr_longtext[]

catalog_content_errors = et_enr_errors[]

ev_sc_structures_used = lv_sc_used_in_badi

et_sc_item_data = et_sc_item_data[]

et_sc_accounting = et_sc_accounting[]

et_sc_partner = et_sc_partner[]

et_sc_orgdata = et_sc_orgdata[]

et_sc_longtext = et_sc_longtext[]

et_sc_messages = et_messages[].

So et_sc_messages writes to et_messages on exit.

In order to map UNSPSC to a product category for punchout catalogs, do we have to use a BADI? Or, can you use the standard configuration under: SPRO > Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Master Data > Content Management > .... to do this without a BADI?

Thanks

Hi,

After mapping , r u modifing the the table et_sc_item_data .

wa_et_sc_item_data-category = wa_et_category-category_guid.

wa_et_sc_item_data-category_id = wa_et_category-category_id.

MODIFY et_sc_item_data FROM wa_et_sc_item_data.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

Try to modify the category after that FM or end the BADI.
