vendor field related

[Former Member]

Extended classic scenario.SRM 5.0,ECC 6.0.We went 'live' 4 months back.

-There is a need to add a custom field ('field name XYZ' with a check box) to the vendor master.If the check box against the

field is 'checked',then the vendor is considered active for a certain business process.If not,the vendor is not considered

for that process.

-Do we have to add this field in ECC and then replicate the field to SRM OR can we just create a field in SRM...and maintain

it there?

-There is a BADI to replicate the custom fields to SRM....should we use that to transfer the custom field to SRM?The vendors are already transferred...and regular sync jobs in place.Now when we add a field, how will it transfer?

Plz shed some light.

thnx

If you are talking about BAdI evoked in thread [Customer field replication in Vendor Master data|;, you have to check if it is called in all reports used to replicate/update vendor from R/3 to SRM.

If yes, i suppose your R/3 vendor customer field will be replicated in your SRM vendor CUF and then shown in Manage Business Partner ( BBPMAININT ) transaction.
