XI PO to SO mapping - Customer values

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a PO to SO transformation within one SAP system,

where if a PO is created in one company comp1, an outbound idoc ORDERS is generated and sent to XI. In XI mapping this message is transformed to ORDERS for SO creation in comp2 and should be sent back to SAP. It is possible that there are several vendor numbers in the comp1 and to create the idoc back in SAP, the inbound idoc should have a customer number. I am thinking of using EDPAR table in SAP to maintain the customer - vendor references.

Right now in WE20, we have for LI and KU vendor and customer numbers maintained.

The scenario works with a straight mapping from PO to SO.

In XI Configuration identifiers are used for Vendor and customer config.

What is the best way to get the customer value for vendor reference ?

Can anyone help me please ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Usha,

you can map the custmer values

inside the message mapping:

/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/03/27/sap-xi-lookup-api-the-killer

and store those values in a Z table on your R3 system

(very easy to maintain - view)

and then send the idoc with changed values to the r3

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the delay in posting this reply.

Your answer was very helpful.

I have decided to use the EDPAR table for

value mapping rather than creating a Z table

or storing the values in XI.

The standard inbound FM for creating orders

checks this table if the vendor number is passed

in the IDOC. So it works.

Thanks once again for your quick guidance.

Regards

Usha
