Hi All,

Can we extend the IDoc type DEBMDM05/06 to include custom segments ?

My requirement is to enhance the functionality of MDMC transaction or MDM_CLNT_EXTR to extract the customers from SAP R/3 system and send them to PI system(Earlier called as XI) with some custom segments included.

Thanks in advance...

Hi Arunkumar,

Yes you can extend the basic Idoc type to include custom segments.

Refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw31/helpdata/en/dc/6b82a343d711d1893e0000e8323c4f/content.htm

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Step%2bby%2bStep%2bprocedure%2bfor%2bcreation%2bof%2bIDOC

MDM_CLNT_EXTR is used to extract only standard master data objects.

For extended or customized ones refer to SAP Note 1035601.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Minaz,

Thanks a lot for the inputs. It helpmed me in finding some more documentation to meet my requirement. I need some more help on this. Request you to go thru the following information.

1. I have extended the IDoc type DEBMDM06 to ZEUDEBMDM06

2. Created a new message type ZDEBMDM (using WE81)

3. Assigned the message type ZDEBMDM to IDoc type ZEUDEBMDM06 (using WE82).

4. Created a new extraction object ZCUSTOMER_EXTRCT from CUSTOMER_EXTRACT by executing

program 'MDM_METADATA_MAINTAIN'.

5. Maintained the view 'VMDMMETA' using SM30 to add custom segments and altered the positions according to new IDoc type.

6. Copied the function group MDM_CUST_DNL of Extraction function module CUSTOMER_EXTRACT to custom name space and now I have custom FM ZEUCUSTOMER_EXTRACT.

7. When I run the transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR and supply the custom extraction object ZCUSTOMER_EXTRCT, it is not displaying the custom segments.

Could you please correct me where am doing wrong in this process ?

Thanks in advance.
