Custom Field Unavailable in CIG Mapping Tool ( Sourcing Project Header)

[Anand0610]

Hello Team,

We are implementing Stand-along Sourcing Module integrated to S4HANA

We have created a Custom Field in Sourcing Project Header ( Money Field) cus_reserveamount

We would like to send this value back to S4 as part of the RFX Award Integration Process via QuoteMessageOrder or QuoteMessageContract to create PO or Contract respectively.

However, we are unable to find this custom field in the CIG Mapping Tool.

can you please let us know the process to make the custom field available in the CIG Mapping tool under the two mentioned Document Transactions

hanamahadevan, Unfortunately the custom money field is not available in the CIG schema and there is no way of making that custom field available in CIG.

A workaround will be to create a custom field of type text (string) and copy the value from the money field there. This newly created custom field can then be used in the CIG mapping.

Note: The new custom text field should not be visible in the UI so that it doesn't confuse the end user.

Hello Antonio,

Thanks for your response.

However, when the SAP Team tried to create a Text Field, they were unable to copy the Money Value field to the Text field due to difference in type. Could you please provide more insight on the expression that will help resolve this.

Hi Anand,

You can convert the money field into text field using the below expression:

ariba.basic.core.Money(FieldName).toString()

Hello Liu,

Yes, if you need the custom field in the header, then SR is required.

Thank you, Anand.

Hi Anand,

Could you please tell me how to add one custom field in Ariba Sourcing?

SR is required, right? Thanks.
