Enhance External Data Source - SAP IBP Order based Planning

[gaurav_guglani87]

Hi Experts,

On the SAP Help document for OBP, I was looking for ways to enhance my external master data types for Order Based Planning. But unfortunately, there isn't any document which provides information about the same.

For Product external master data, 10 custom attributes have been provided for additional fields and they can be populated in SAP ERP/S4 Hana using extractor table /IBP/MARA_EXT.

But if I want to add a custom attribute to Location product Master data in Order Based Planning using external master data, How do I achieve the same.

I am assuming it would require enhancing the external data sources as well.

Please suggest possible methods to do so.

Regards

Gaurav

You have 10 custom attributes for Location material in table /IBP/MARC_EXT as well, which you can use accordingly (when working with SDI interface). You can not add additional fields other then the existing

Ok Irmi. Thanks for the Input.

Also, Is there a way to access the external data sources for debugging or any other purposes using BTP or any other platform? when using ABAP adapters.

On SAP help Portal, there is a great deal of information provided about these external data sources and their linkage with external master data types but what is missing is the accessibility of these data sources to an IBP consultant.

All the /IBP/..._EXT tables are situated initially on your ECC or S/4HANA , so you can debug them as usual. In the SDI interface itself, there is no further mapping.
