In this activity, you can make the following settings for uploading products to an SAP System:

  • Upload is active/inactive

    The upload can be activated or deactivated for a particular product type. If the upload has been deactivated for a particular product type, the Transfer product to OLTP option is inactive in product maintenance. This also applies to products which are not in an active state, irrespective of this indicator.
    If the upload is allowed, you must start the product upload using the Transfer product to OLTP option in product maintenance. If subsequent changes are made to the product, the product is uploaded to the OLTP Systems in which the product was already created as a material or article.

  • Default setting for base unit of measure

    When products are uploaded, a material or article master record is created in the OLTP System. When a master record is created in the OLTP System, as opposed to in the CRM product master, a base unit of measure has to be specified.
    A default base unit of measure can therefore be set in this activity for a particular product type. It is transferred to the SAP System the first time an upload is performed if a base unit of measure has not been maintained in the CRM System.

    Note
    A base unit of measure is not maintained in the CRM System for Financing products. This means that if you are uploading Financing products, a default unit of measure must be specified. You are advised to use the base unit of measure piece as the default value.

Example

Requirements

If the upload is to be performed to an SAP System from which products are also downloaded, you do not need to make any further settings. Otherwise, however, the following steps are required in order to be able to perform an upload:

  1. Using transaction SM59, create an RFC destination for the SAP System.
  2. Using transaction SM30, add an entry to table COMV_PR_LOGSYS:
    3. Log.System = <Logical system of the SAP System>
    Prod.Type = 01
    ObjFamily = Leave blank
    Lex = Storage form of material number in SAP System

You can find out how the material number is stored in the SAP System (that is, whether it is stored lexicographically or not) by executing transaction OMSL in the SAP System.

  1. Create a site with the type R/3 using the Administration Console (transaction SMOEAC). This site must be assigned the RFC destination created in step 1.
