Middleware Settings for Product Categories

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are using the CRM middleware to replicate the Product Categories.

In our case the R/3 backend Mat Groups are defined using the two fields.

1. Matl grp descr.

2. mat.grp desc. 2

The first one is a general one and the second field is more imporatant for the users in the search.

But from middleware initial downloads we are only getting the first Description field.

could some one walk me thru the steps to bring in the Second Mat grp desc. also.

Hello Manoj,

are you speaking of short & long descriptions ?

If yes, a recent post gives you the OSS note (455949) and customizing point (SM30 on COMC_HIERARCHY) to use long description instead of short one.

Hi Chris,

Yea ur right.

Thanks for the note Chris.. it was of great help.

But my other concern was will this replace the Short desc with the long one or will it actually append the long to the Short one.

We acutally want both the descriptions.

I shuld check this.!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Chris,

That was a very helpfull note.

We were able to change the short text to the long text.

But now is there a way out to append both the short and the long texts.

Hi Manoj,

This customizing option only lets you which description (short or long) to use in SRM.

The concatenation of both is not possible via the standard.

What you could try is to change the mapping module assigned to object DNL_CUST_PROD1 (COM_PRODUCT_PRDCT_PROD1_SAVE) by a specific one, where you can merge both descriptions.

It is a rather simple function module that you could modify (see FORM t023t).
