3597315 - Category Permission being overwrote when products synched from ECC to CPQ

Symptom

User is synching products from ECC to CPQ. Products are being automatically set as "Visible to everyone". In CPQ the products do not have "Visible to everyone" set to true in the Product or Category and are being overwrote.

Environment

SAP SALES CLOUD CPQ integrated with SAP ECC.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Replicate a product from ECC to CPQ using ImportMaterialsFromERP SOAP API.

Cause

Expected behavior of the ImportMaterialsFromERP API.

Resolution

This API doesn't support changing "Visible to everyone" flag on the product. It will set it to true by default when creating new product.

Workaround:

Use a different API, example, using Product Integration Rest API, which should replace ImportMaterialsFromERP API for product replication.
