SAP CRM Product hierarchy,Category和Application三个问题 CRMSAPSAP云平台SAP Cloud PlatformSAP成都研究院

All of these three questions are raised regarding the customizing below via tcode COMM_PRAPPLCAT:

 

 

Question1: Product search supports “search by category id”.

 

 

However, we can assign different categories with same id on different product hierarchies. See example below:

 

 

Question 1: the category id search will only touch categories assigned to a specific hierarchy, or will simply touch all categories with id “ZJERRY” regardless of their assigned hierarchies?

We can first check via test. First I create two products both assigned with category id ZJERRY but with different hierarchies:

 

 

And then I search by ZJERRY, both products are found.

 

 

Reason is: The category search implementation simply scans the following two tables connected via category guid, but not hierarchy guid.

 

 

Question 2: In product creation, we need to specify a base category. Once F4 help is clicked, we see category search popup dialog with search automatically fired.

 

 

Here only hierarchy R3PRODSTYP is used. Why is this very hierarchy?

 

 

Answer: when category search is fired, three hiden search parameters are added automatically: Application: 03 Product_type:01

 

 

As a result, R3PRODSTYP from customizing is used.

 

 

Question 3: I have assigned several categories for a given product which come from different hierarchy:

 

 

In Opportunity WebUI, only category from R3PRODHIER is displayed. Why? Because this hierarchy is assigned to application “01 Sales” in customizing.
