1) Background

The purpose of this document is to show connectivity for SRM-MDM Catalog, creation of catalogs and creation of OCI mappings. Relevant screenshots are provided that explain the whole end to end procedure to set up SRM-MDM Catalog content.

  2) Prerequisites

System Type	Service	Pack Purpose
SAP MDM 7.1 Console	7.1.07.263	To setup SRMMDM Catalog repository
SAP SRM 7.0	SP9	To setup Catalog ID & call structure
SRM–MDM catalog 3.0 SP11	SP11	Catalog Repository
SRM-MDM catalog content 3.0		SRM MDM catalog content deployment
MDM SRM UI App		To configure OCI structure & search engine

  3) MDM configuration

Creating a mask

Assigning records to mask

  4) UI configuration

Enter all the details to login

Every user is assigned to a repository, select the user as maintained in Webservice.

The Configuration view shows the user specific configuration of SRM MDM Catalog. In the General pane, you can set Shopping options, Item Display Criteria, Search, Shopping Lists and OCI Mapping.

The OCI Mapping is shown in below screenshot.

Here under Customize Display->item lists, we select the fields which we want to deal with on the portal. Just select field and click on add.

For example

Here under Customize Display->Cart preview, we can check the preview of previous step.

Here under Customize Display-> compare, we can compare the positions of fields of selected fields in previous step with SRM-MDM repository fields. On the right hand side using up and down button we can adjust the positions of fields.

Under customize search tab, you can specify that on which fields search can be performed, and what should be the conditions like word “starts with n or m” etc.

For example

5) SRM configuration

Go to transaction SPRO(it requires SRM side authorization first to log in SRM)

Click on SAP Refrence IMG

Click on SAP Implementation->SAP SRM-> SRM Server->Master Data->Content Management-> Define external web services.

Enter the catalog web service id and description for the mask created in SAP MDM

After creating webservice id go to Standard call structure to assign relevant parameters which include repository name (to which catalog belongs), catalog name (mask name).

After assigning all the parameters now we have to assign user id to particular catalog. Go to pposa_bbp tcode. Click on select attribute, then ‘+’ symbol to add user id and catalog

  6) Conclusion

With the implementation of above procedure, now we can able to access catalog (mask created in mdm) on the portal, the id created in the last step can only access assigned catalog. The fields which are selected in UI implementation step will be visible in portal. The name of catalog (webservice id) given in webservice under standard call structure will also be visible. So, assigned user can now access the catalog and can make a shopping cart with the items assigned to particular catalog.
