Change Pointers for Vendor Master

PS_1978 — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:55:09 GMT

Hi All,

I have to activate change pointers for Vendor Master data. I have some doubts regarding the same.

1. An Idoc will be generated for newly created vendor, right?

2. If I extend the vendor master IDOC, where should I write code to extract the values of newly added fields?

3. If I create a custom IDOC for vendor master, what is the procedure to configure this in the change pointers for Vendor Master?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Kumar.

Hi...

1.As you said...an IDOC gets created for new vendor...

2.In case if you are going to extend your IDOC u need to write the code in the Userexit available in creation of vendor. .

3.For Change Pointer Configs...you need to check the check box avilable in WE20 under message control tab.

Hi,

While change pointers are incorporated for master data, even for any changes made to the concerned customer/vendor/material through transactions XD02/XK02/MM02 respectively, change pointers would be generated, which when processed, communication IDocs would be created.

I would suggest you to extend the idoc rather than creating cutomize idoc for vendor data as this would be difficult to handle data for cutomize idoc....as there are lots of fileds in vendor master data. If you are planning to use cutomize idoc then in the next upgrade this will be a problem so dont use cutomize idoc.

Rather go for extended idocs .

Create extended idoc based on CREMAS idoc and search required user exit in MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_CREMAS.

You need to do some settings of the fields in transaction BD50 for new created message type which you will create for extended idoc.

Hi,

1. Afer doing all the settings required to create change pointers (BD61, BD50, BD52), the idocs will be created when u run the report RBDMIDOC or execute transaction BD21.if any changes happen in master data

like new vendor is created or vendor data is changed, then only change pointers will be created and on executing the aforesaid report, idocs will be generated.

Also idocs can be generated by replicating vendor data through transaction BD14 or any other custom transaction.

2. When you add custom segments to basic type, you have to write code in suitable user exits.

Identify suitable user exit to populate data in custom segments and write the code in oubound side.

Identify suitable user exit to populate the values in custom segments to database table, this code is to be written in inbound side.
