Customer Master IDOC distribution model - Address related issues.

[Former Member]

All,

we are trying to push master data from our TEST environment to DEV environment via IDOC Master data distribution model.

we set up the model and other related configuration. when we push the idoc from TEST to DEV, they error out with the reason - "Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-SORT2". All these fields are filled in the IDOC. when we researched we found that this is due to the addresses being stored separately in R3 & the customer master having just reference to these address values. and we think it is failing because it is failing to associate the customer with the address reference in DEV.

how do we overcome this issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

Approach 1:

Go to the T-code OBD2 and select the relevant account group and then select the field which is creating the problem. Make that field as optional.

Push IDOC's from Test client to Dev client.

Then execute anLSMW reording to update that field.

Again go to that field and make it mandatory.

Approach2:

In ALE you can use filters in order to avoid certain set of fields from being passed from one system to another. on this regard check with abaper or ABAP forum
