Symptom
- Product Types are replicated from SAP S/4HANA into SAP CPQ (not manually created in CPQ).
- Due to the 9-character field length limitation in SAP S/4HANA for the field mapped to the Product Type field in CPQ, the Product Type values appear abbreviated in CPQ.
- When displaying the Product Type column in the Product Table within the Quote, the values are not descriptive and are difficult for end users to understand.
- Attempts to modify or relabel the Product Type values using Dictionaries in CPQ do not reflect any changes in the Quote Product Table.
- Requirement is to determine whether there is a way to display more descriptive labels for Product Type values in CPQ while maintaining the integration with S/4HANA.
Environment
SAP SALES CLOUD CPQ
Resolution
- In the standard integration scenario, SAP CPQ does not support mapping or transforming Product Type values replicated from SAP S/4HANA into different or descriptive values within CPQ.
- The Product Type values are transferred as maintained in SAP S/4HANA and cannot be relabeled or overridden in CPQ (including via Dictionaries).
- If this functionality is required, it is considered a product enhancement request.
- Enhancement requests can be submitted via the SAP Customer Influence Portal: Customer influence portal
