Using MBGMCR03 Inbound for reason code

[Former Member]

I'm in the Functional Speccing stage of a project. the process I need to document is this: Requirement to post goods movements interfaced into SAP from an external system. I have scoured the forums throughout the web and found only 1 thing similar (on this site) - solution is to use WMMBXY/WMMBID02.

The problem with this is that there is no specific field for reason code (which I need to use) in WMMBID02 as there is in MBGMCR03.

How can I use MBGMCR03 inbound when it has no associated inbound process code bearing in mind that the SAP system is to have no custom developments/modifications? If I have to do some mods what is the minimum that needs to be done either for WMMBID02 to have additional reason code field or for MBGMCR03 to become inbound-friendly?

Thanks in advance for any help!

More info? In WMMBID02 the field E1MBXYI-GRUND for reason code (as in table MSEG) is there but its text refers to Asset master records. It has only 3 characters allowed and refers to table T098.

The MBGMCR03 field E1BP2017_GM_ITEM_CREATE-MOVE_REAS (data element MB_GRBEW (same as in MSEG-GRUND)) refers to table T157D and has 4 characters and so seems to have no correlation with WMMBID02.

Anyone have any ideas? Can I still use the GRUND field from E1MBXYI?

Hi Jay,

You can use MBGMCR03 IDOC. This idoc is of type BAPI-ALE interface. So for these idoc's the process code will be 'BAPI' . This idoc inbound process code agiain will call BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE FM to create a goods movement. So you can use this IDOC type by configuring the process code as BAPI in we21.

Thanks,
