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.
