Configuring Common Settings

To replicate material texts from the SAP S/4HANA Cloud backend to SAP Commerce Cloud, it’s important to enable the required languages in SAP Commerce Cloud.

1. Access SAP Commerce Backoffice and log on as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Internationalization → Languages.
3. Select the checkbox above the language list, and choose the Bulk Edit icon.
   
4. In the Bulk Edit dialog box, on the Pick Attributes tab, select the Active attribute from the Excluded attributes list.
   
5. Choose > (ADD) to move it to the Included attributes list. Then, choose Next to continue.
   
6. On the Change Values tab, set the new value of the Active attribute for all languages to True.
   
7. Choose Update to update all entries.

To make sure that all products belonging to a specific sales area are automatically mapped in SAP Commerce Cloud, you need to create a catalog version.

Sales area and distribution channel in SAP S/4HANA Cloud are represented by catalog in SAP Commerce Cloud.

For each sales area and distribution channel to be used, you need to create a separate catalog in SAP Commerce Cloud.

1. Access SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice and log on as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Catalog → Catalogs.
   
3. Choose the add icon (+) to create a new catalog.
4. The Create New Catalog wizard opens, allowing you to define the basic catalog attributes. In our case, create the catalog, and set the ID attribute to Catalog_ 10.
5. Choose the globe icon on the Name attribute to expand the localization textboxes. Enter Catalog_1710_10 for the en (US)language, and Catalog_1010_10 for the de (German) language.
   

   For the Default catalog in the system field, keep the default values False, and choose Finish.

   
6. Choose the newly created entry from the catalog list Catalog_10. This opens the catalog details screen.
   Note

   When the new catalog is created after you choose the Finish button on the popup, the popup is dismissed, and, back on the Catalogs main screen, you’ll see that a Created item Catalog_1710_10 message pops up and it will be displayed briefly. At this moment, you can select the Catalog_1710_10 link on the message. It takes you directly to the catalog detail screen at the bottom.

   

   However, if you missed that message, as it only briefly shows up, choose the search button on the top-right to reload the catalog items in the system. You’ll see the new catalog on top of the catalog list.

   
7. In the Versions of this Catalog section, choose the text box + Create New Catalog Version.
8. The Create New Catalog version wizard opens. Enter ERP_IMPORT for the Catalog Version field, then click in the Catalog textbox, and select Catalog_1710_10 from the catalogs dropdown list. Choose Finish.
   
9. Double-click on the newly created Catalog Version (Catalog_1710_10: ERP_IMPORT) under Catalog Versions, and navigate to the Edit item Catalog_1710_10: ERP_IMPORT popup screen.
10. On the Catalog Versions tab, choose + Create Synchronization under Basic Settings.
    
11. The Create New Synchronization screen pops up, allowing you to define the following settings for the catalog synchronization.
    1. Select the Synchronization source field, and select Catalog_1710_10: ERP_IMPORT from the catalogs dropdown list.
    2. Select the Synchronization target field, and select Powertools Product Catalog: Staged from the catalogs dropdown list.
    3. Choose Finish to dismiss the Create New Synchronization popup, and choose Save on the Edit item Catalog_1710_10: ERP_IMPORT popup to save the catalog settings.
       

Now that you created the catalog version in the previous section, the catalog version in SAP Commerce Cloud can be mapped to the corresponding sales organization and distribution channel in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

1. Access SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice, and log on as an administrator.
2. Navigate to SAP Integration > SAP Global Configuration.
3. Select the previously created entry for Global Configuration (GLOBAL).
4. Go to the Product Replication tab.
   
5. Choose Create New Mapping Sales Areas to Catalogs. Maintain the following settings:

   Mapping Sales Areas to Catalogs Fields

   Field	DE Value	US Value
   SAP Global Configuration for Product	GLOBAL	GLOBAL
   Sales Organization	1010	1710
   Distribution Channel	10	10
   Catalog Version	Catalog_1010_10-ERP_IMPORT	Catalog_1710_10-ERP_IMPORT
   Time Created	Current date	Current date

   
6. Choose Finish.
7. Choose the three-dotted icon on the left border of the newly created entry. A submenu appears, allowing you to select Edit Details.
8. Select Germany [DE] in case that the DE sample value is used and United States [US] in case that the US sample value is used for the Tax Class Country/Region attribute.
   
9. Choose the Save icon to save the entries.

Warehouses are downloaded from SAP S/4HANA Cloud along with the customizing download. The downloaded warehouse plant from SAP S/4HANA Cloud must be assigned to the base store in SAP Commerce Cloud.

1. Access SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice and log on as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Base Commerce → Base Store.
3. Search for the Base Store item powertools.
4. In the result Properties tab, scroll down to the grouping titled Warehouses. Assigned warehouses are listed in a table. Below the table, there's a search text box. Search for the 1010 (DE) / 1710 (US) warehouse, and select it.
