SAP SRM Customer Connection 2017
So you may have joined us in April for the news that the next installment of the SAP Customer Influence was underway, thanks to all those who attended and to our numerous presenters for the day who provided insight into the fruits of their Labour by demonstrating some of the key enhancements which have occured over the last year.
The slide deck of the session is available here but let me highlight some key elements of the presentation:
Item Comparisson in UI5 – This capability was added to the UI5 shopping cart in note 2435068 and is introduced into the standard in SRMNXP 150 SP06 and SRMNXP 100 in SP15. This highly sought after functionality was introduced after gaining sufficient traction through the Influence panel and was realised with the mentioned note, a customizing table was also provided to maintain prioritization of comparisson fields. A new Badi, /SRMNXP/BD_ITEM_COMPARISON, is also provided to prioritize these entries from the customizing tables.
Extend team shopping cart functionality (Web Dynpro) – Note 2444265 (Introduced by adding soft switch SRM_702_EXTENDED_TP_FUNCTIONALITY, now awaiting approval documents can be accessed by taking over the cart, takover initiates a recall of the affected cart.)
Extend team shopping cart functionality (UI5 Shopping Cart) – Note 2420819 (Also introduced by adding soft switch SRM_702_EXTENDED_TP_FUNCTIONALITY, now awaiting approval documents can be accessed by taking over the cart, takover initiates a recall of the affected cart.)
