Data transfer between SRM and ECC

[Former Member]

In a classic scenario, when I create a PO or a contract, it is getting created in backend ECC server. I would like to know how the data for the same is getting transferred from SRM to the ECC. Also if we have to add additional fields to the existing system in SRM, how to go about it in terms of data transfer?

Purchase Orders and Contracts are created via RFC.

To change the resulting documents in ECC, you can used BADIs. I've copied the help text below for POs and Contracts.

Using Business Add-In BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW you can change all the data that is transferred to the backend system for generation of a purchase order. This includes, for example, the item data, the account assignment data, and texts.

All the shopping cart data is available as input parameters.

With Business Add-In BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE, you can replace or supplement existing contract data in SAP Enterprise Buyer with your own backend structures and tables.

Enterprise Buyer calls this BAdI before it makes the RFC to the backend system to create a contract.

Cheers.
