Use of vendor product number in shopping cart from personal template

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have the following scenario:

We use ECC 6.0, SRM 5.0 MDM 5.5 sp6 catalog 2.0.

In the inforecord master data in ECC we use the vendor product number (vpn). When a inforecord is created or changed, the inforecords (or changed data in the inforecord) get's replicated to SRM-MDM, just like all of the other masterdata (product, vendor and conditions).

The vpn is included in the details of a catalog product.

When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.

When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.

So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.

This leads to wrong delivery's.

I've logged an oss call for this, because in my opinion this is a product default. But SAP points me on "standard design". This seems always to be the case when something difficult is asked.

They said it can be solved with a BADI implementation. To be more specific a validation in SRM-MDM with the doc-change Badi.

Is there some one who has experience with this kind of development and knows if this is the whight Badi of has an alternative?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Hi,

When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.

When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.

So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when *you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.

*Solution:

you have told that in MDM -VPN is updated from ECC

Say for Eg : VPN is 12345 in MDM

you have created a shopping cart template with thie VPN : 12345 .

you have ordered the shopping cart the VPN number will be 12345.

After a week this VPN is updated from ECC by 12345ABC

now you have to Delete the old shopping cart template what you have created 12345.

You have to create a new template with VPN :12345ABC and create a shopping cart

How will the VPN change in the Old Template? It is not possbile.

It is not A product bug.

Please try this method what I have suggested

Try this...

Change catalog config settings: IMG > Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Master Data > Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.)u2026

Drill into the detail of the web service and select "Validate product data from SAP enterprise buyer". This indicator has the following effect:

If, for example, the user copies catalog items from a template, the system checks whether products still exist in the catalog, and whether the price is still up to date. If the product data has changed, the current data is transferred to Enterprise Buyer.
