create Related SyncBo to the same SyncBo ?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to exend the Material SyncBo MAM25_006 with a Related SyncBo field. I want this field to be related to another record in the same SyncBo.

For example:

MAM25_006 SyncKey = 12334

MAM25_006 SyncKey = 00000 NEW RELATED FIELD = 12334

Is this possible ?

Thank you all in advance !

Hi Chris,

Your question contains two questions:

1. Is it possible to extend a standard SAP component(MAM25_006)?, and

2. Is it possible to relate a syncBo to itself?

Ans 1: It is not possible to relate a new syncBo to standard syncBo. However, you can use SyncBo Exits (On meep_sbuilder scren menu, SyncBo -> Maintain exits) to do certain manipulations.

Ans 2: It is not possible to relate a syncBo to itself, as the option is not provided to do so in the 'Related SyncBo assignment' screen which you get on F4 in the 'Related SyncBo column' under merep_sbuilder.

Rahul

If this helps, kindly assign me some points.

hello chris,

this is not supported in smartsync due to cascading

syncbo support.

if you want to associate a certain field value to another

syncBo instance of the SAME type, there's no need for any

relation info... you can use the descriptor of your new

syncbo instance and the field value of your related field

to retrieve the associated syncbo.

in your example,

from MAM25_006 00000 instance, you can use MAM25_006

syncbo descriptor (your instance will have a reference to

its descriptor) and the field value NEW RELATED FIELD =

12334 to retrieve your referenced syncbo instance 12334.

Hello Jo,

I understand what you mean, but what will happen if error handling is done by application and both syncbo's contains errors. Is the reference (synckey) from one syncbo to the other still the same ? Or does the syncbo's get a new synckey and the reference is gone ?

Thank you in advance !
