Using the App 'Manage Catalog Items' for Central Procurement.

[AnupNair]

Dear Team,

We have an requirement where we would like to setup an Internal catalog (Internal_Test) with around 15 items so that the users can use these items from the cross catalog search bar during PR creation. We are using the App 'Manage Catalog Items' to achieve this.

We are able to achieve this requirement for local scenario but for Central Procurement Scenario we are unable to follow the same steps because in this App we cannot see the Suppliers from the connected system, we cannot see any data from the connected system.

Is there any way to achieve this? The expectation is that as soon as the User enters the article the supplier data is auto populated in the PR.

Best Regards,

Anup

Hello Anup,

But, in Fiori App "Manage Catalog Items", you can see the Supplier assigned to catlog item

So, i do not understand your issue.

Regarding data from the connected Backend, which data are you talking about?

Regards.

Laurent.

Hello Laurent,

We were trying to create a new article using this App & in the Supplier F4 help we were expecting Suppliers from the connected system, which is not possible with the current release.

Dear Team,

After discussion with the relevant team, with the current release 2005 we have the below possibilities.

1. Extract the material from the connected system ECC & use it in Hub system. (Refer to Scope Item Central Requisitioning (1XI))

2. Currently there is no functionality of extracting free text items from connected systems as part of Hub based extraction in S/4HANA

3. As a temporary workaround, we can create the articles in the Hub system with the Supplier no. same as the connected system.
