R3PRODHIER missing

[Former Member]

When I replicate the DNL_CUST_PROD1 (SRM 702 & ECC 606) -  the product hierarchies does not replicate over.

I could only see R3MATCLASS & R3PRODSTYP in the TXN COMM_HIERARCHY.

When I replicate the MATERIAL - replication fails because the Product Hierarchy does not exist.

The Product Hierarchies are maintained in V/76 in ECC606. The material is also extended to Sales View.

What is missing? Your inputs will help.

Hi,

Would you please check if R3PRODHIER is maintained via trx COMM_PRAPPLCAT?

Best regards,

There is no R3PRODHIER in the COMM_PRAPPLCAT assigned.

Also - It is not possible to maintain it because the possible values (F4 help) does not show R3PRODHIER.

A screenshot attached (New Entries).

Hi,

Please replicate DNL_CUST_PROD1 with r3as again, and then check if there is any messages in trx smw01.

Meanwhile would you please check the following points:

1, all the settings in note 720819;

2, check the filters for DNL_CUST_PROD1 with trx r3ac3 to see if the filter is proper

3, table SMOFTABLES:

you should make R/3 tables T134,T134T,T179 and T179T active.

When I replicate the DNL_CUST_PROD1 there are no messages specific to this object in SMW01 as they don't use BDocs. Issue is that after doing a Initial replication for DNL_CUST_PROD1, COMM_HIERARCHY does not show R3PRODHIER but shows only R3MATCLASS & R3PRODSTYP.

Following filters are set for DNL_CUST_PROD1.

>>T023 as MATKL CONTAINS PATTERN *

>>T123 as MTART EQUALITY UNBW (this is the material type of the material I am trying to replicate)

>>T179 as PRODH EQUALITY the Product Hierarchy (this is what I want to replicate)

Could it be because I am not setting up any filter for the T023T, T123T, T179T?

Please check if  R/3 tables T134,T134T,T179 and T179T are active in table SMOFTABLES.

Please activate them and replicate the hierarchy again.

The SMOFTABLES are active as shown in the attachment.

Hi,

I don't think you have to maintain filters for table T179 and T179T, but they should exist in table/Structures part in r3ac3.

If they are all maintained, I can only suggest you replicate again for DNL_CUST_PROD1 with trx r3as and monitor the messages in trx smw01.

=>Application "Sales" is not visible in the "Assign Categories to Applications"

=>For the R3PRODSTYP, the set type does not show any SALES (CRMM_PR_SALESA, CRMM_PR_SALESG, CRMM_PR_LGTEXT2) related items.

I believe these are the issues. Please advise what are the items that I need to check in ECC to make sure these material types have all the SALES related items maintained. OMS2 is already maintained with the SALES view for this material type.

Hi,

I don't think this is the problem.

For set types such as "CRMM_PR_SALESA", they are not SRM set types, but CRM system.

In standard SRM system, we also have no such set types for R3PRODSTYP.

Anyway, if you want to replicate them from ECC to SRM, you should run r3as for object DNL_CUST_PROD1 and then check if there is any log in trx smw01.

Then we can get more information to know why R3PRODHIER is not replicated.

I don't have any logs in SMW01 when replicating the DNL_CUST_PROD1. Do you have some idea why there are no logs but all the material groups are replicated.

Hi,

I think I found the reason:

==========

this is not supported in srm.
The download of R3PRODHIER (tables T179/T179T) is deactivated for
object DNL_CUST_PROD1. you can check in
Tables / Structure
tables set to inactive

currently SRM doesn't support product hierarchy via middleware,
so table SMOT179T is
empty in SRM side. For CRM, this should be supported.

==========

The workaround is as below:

=====

you can check note 831808. maybe this will help you.
11.4 Hierarchies
11.4.1 Uploading Product Category Hierarchy Files from
External Systems
To upload product category hierarchy information to SAP Supplier
Relationship Management
(SAP SRM 7.0) through a flat file adapter, see the detailed instructions
provided in SAP Note
831808 Attachments .

via middleware we only provide Product Hierarchy  for material.
(Materialarten ,Materialklassen )

also you could use
this BAdI (BBP_PRODCAT_HIER) to change a structure that you get from
the ERP System into a hierarchical structure or tailor the existing
structure to the required structure.

Can I please ask, where do you get the information that the product hierarchy replication is not supported by SRM middle ware?

[ivy_li · Accepted solution]

Hi,

I got this from our past cases, and it should be true.

For the workaround, you may refer to the mentioned note.

In fact, in standard SRM system, we have no this hierarchy.

Thanks Ivy. If SAP has given a work around - that really means that it is not possible by standard. I agree with you. Thank you so much.
