Hi Sam,
Not sure if you are checking the Punch-out Catalog Integration for SRM for ECC.
If it is for SRM, then follow the steps mentioned by Ravi Pachauri along with the below pointers.
Part- A Punch-out Catalog Integration
1. Define the Web Services - This is where you need to Define the Catalog setup the call structure for the Catalog.
a. For define the Catalog- You need to define it as a Product Catalog - If the Catalog is specific to a particular Vendor (Vendor Catalog) then give the Vendor's BP ID and the P.Org ID in the respective fields, else if it is a Market place Catalog then leave the fields blank.
b. Setting up the catalog Call structure- You need to give the Catalog URL, User ID and the Password.
Leave the Hook_URL as blank.
2. Define the Category mapping- You need to map the Imported Product categories with the Internal Product Categories. This can be done in two ways - a. Using the Standard SPRO settings and b. Using a customizing table.
Part- B cXML PO Output
As a pre-requisite you need to have a PI system in place.
SRM by standard does not generate a cXML formal, however it generates a XML message for the PO.
For getting an XML message of the PO- you need to maintain the Vendors communication medium as XI/XML.
Once the XML message is generated the PI guys should be able to pick the XML message and convert it into a cXML format and transmit the same to the Vendor.
Hope this helps!!
