Hello,
We use Price Catalog Outbound transaction (t-code VPRICAT) to send articles that are listed to an assortment to our external customer.
We ran into several issues related to the performance and the functionality in the transaction. We have implemented several OSS notes and with the help of SAP we have also implemented OSS notes related to performance. SAP recommends that the price catalog outbound transaction can only handle up to 2000 articles. Currently, we have around 17K articles in our price catalog and it will keep growing. When we start using the price catalog for one of our other brand which has lot of articles then the price catalog will be in thousands.
As per SAP it is not recommended to have more than 2000 articles and we have asked SAP if there is any other alternative way to send catalog information (SKU, GTIN, Prices etc.) to external customer similar to the price catalog transaction but they said there is nothing.
The only other way that I can think of is to have a custom solution. We do not want to go via that route unless it is proven that the standard cannot handle high volume.
Has anyone come across this situation regarding price catalog outbound?
Please let me know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Srinivas
