As per my understanding till now ; plant or storage location name if gets changed in ECC , it can be updated by selecting the attribute WRK & LAG respectively in report BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH.
after executing this report , the changed name of the plant will be refllected in extended attributes in PPOMA and table ADRC.
BBP_LOCATION_SET_T001W_NAME(only for plants) can also be used to update the name if at all changed in ECC.
for ex - plant 100 :
old name - ABC cosmetic
new mane - XYZ Cosmetic
Old Address - 99, EE, Delhi
New Address - 76, EE, Delhi
After running the report BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH with attribute WRK , the name will be XYZ cosmetic in ADRC table but the address will remain 99, EE, Delhi.
The same will itself reflect in extended attributes in PPOMA as well.
In case of address changed , we have to do it manually by txn- Manage Business Partners-->Locations

Hi. Plants from ECC do not exist in table BBP_ATT_VALUE_T (this is the table that BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH maintains).
Plants exist as business partners in SRM, storage locations and company codes do not (company code org units do, but that is different), so this program will not update plants ever, as they are more fundamental to SRM and are stored completely differently.
SRM stores the storage location and company code names in table BBP_ATT_VALUE_T as a buffer the first time they get used so it does not have to RFC every time a user selects it. Program BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH updates these texts only, it will never update plants.
I thought that the standard programs (BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL etc) from SRM 5 would bring over plant changes, but I could be wrong and I am now working on SRM 4 so I can't test it.
At a previous client I wrote a program to check the plants in ECC and update the business partners in SRM. Function MSR1_MD_PLANT_GETLIST will get the plant details and BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE will update the business partner in SRM. Table BBP_LOCMAP links the plant ID to the business partner number.
It is also worth checking out the program that other users mention in earlier responses.
I have tested the report BBP_LOCATION_SET_T001W_NAME IN SRM 4.0 to update the changes in the Plants names between SRM & ECC and it is working fine.
But here the problem is that this report changes the names for ALL of the plants where there is a difference in the names between SRM & ECC. So, if we need to change the name of selected plants , do we have any option?
As per your response, do u mean with the help of the report BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL , the changes in the names of the ALREADY replicated plants will also get updated in SRM(4.0)?
I need to update the names of only those plants which are in my scope.I do not want to touch other than that.In SRM 4.0 , I told you that I have tested the report BBP_LOCATION_SET_T001W_NAME to update the changes in the Plants names between SRM & ECC and it is working fine. It actually updated for all of the palnts wherein there was a difference between ECC & SRM.
Have you ever tried this report BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL in SRM 5.0 to do the same job?
Thanks for the info.Note is alrady applied in our system.
My query is - For ex - If the plant address or name is changed in the backend , then which attributes must be selected to run this report so that changes are reflected in SRM system.
Secondly, after executing this report , will the required changes reflect in the ADRC table in SRM and Extended attributes in PPOMA?
Regards,
Prashant.

As one of the earlier blogs, sanjeev pandey has told that the plant address can only be changed manually in SRM , this report can be used to change the name or description:
"Hi,
To change the Plant address, you will have to do it manually using txn- Manage Business Partners-->Locations. To change the Plant names, you can use the reports stated earlier in the thread.
Regards,
Sanjeev"
Could you please confirm the solution?
As per my understanding till now ; plant or storage location name if gets changed in ECC , it can be updated by selecting the attribute WRK & LAG respectively in report BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH.
after executing this report , the changed name of the plant will be refllected in extended attributes in PPOMA and table ADRC.
BBP_LOCATION_SET_T001W_NAME(only for plants) can also be used to update the name if at all changed in ECC.
In case of address changed , we have to do it manually by txn- Manage Business Partners-->Locations
After running the report BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH with attribute WRK , the name will be XYZ cosmetic in ADRC table but the address will remain 99, EE, Delhi.
The same will itself reflect in extended attributes in PPOMA as well.
To change the address to NEW one we have to do it manually by tx - BBPMAININT.
I'll wait for ur input towards the cahnge of palnt address.
Can we conclude and confirm the below for atleast the change in name of plant & storage location?
for ex - plant 100 :
old name - ABC cosmetic
new mane - XYZ Cosmetic
Old Address - 99, EE, Delhi
New Address - 76, EE, Delhi
After running the report BBP_ATTR_TEXT_REFRESH with attribute WRK , the name will be XYZ cosmetic in ADRC table but the address will remain 99, EE, Delhi.
The same will itself reflect in extended attributes in PPOMA as well.
