custom field values not passed to R/3

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are implementing SRM 4.0 extended classic scenario.

I have created a custom field ("Z" field) at item level and included the field in the following includes.

INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC

INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_PO

INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_CONF

INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF

I have implemented badi BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI and written the following code in method BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND:

gs_cust-refobject = 'POITEM'.

gs_cust-fieldname = 'Zfield'.

gs_cust-REFFIELD1 = 'PO_ITEM'.

gs_cust-REFVAL1 = ls_item-Zfield.

gs_cust-container = ls_item-Zfield.

gs_cust-type = 'C'.

modify ct_bapi_customer_fields from gs_cust transporting refobject reffield1 refval1 container type where fieldname = gs_cust-fieldname.

In R/3 I have maintained the mapping of the SRM field in table bbp_cufmap with the field in EKPO table. I have also created the field in EKPO table in R/3.

The problem is that the values of the Zfield are not passed from SRM to R/3.

Please help.

Thanks,

Mick

Hello,

Are you using bapi_po_create1 ?

In this case you have to maintain the structure CI_EKPODBX in addition to CI_EKPODB. It just have to contain a field named as your customer field (like in CI_EKPODB) and with reference type BAPIUPDATE.

Thanks Pierre. How do I check whether I am using bapi_po_create1? When I debug from SRM, its not stopping in bapi_po_create1.

It depends on the R/3 release.

You can test activating the generation of test data for bapi_po_create and bapi_po_create1 to be sure (check note 866460 for this): it consist in report FBGENDAT , some explaination stands in the source code.

you also can start maintaining the X structure if you find it in MEPOITEM_DATAX.

Thanks Pierre.

Is there any other approach? as I am not able to change the parameters in SU01 as suggested in note 866460. Also the mapping in the table bbp_cufmap in R/3 is

doc_type = PO

Key = S

CUF Field = <name of field in SRM>

R/3 field = <ame of field in R/3>

Also this is working for custom fields at header level and standard fields at item level but not for custom fields at item level.

What do I need to do to transfer custom fields at item level from SRM to R/3.

Thanks,

Hi Mick,

try the following:

gs_cust-refobject = 'POITEM'.

gs_cust-fieldname = 'ZFIELD'.

gs_cust-REFFIELD1 = 'PO_ITEM'.

gs_cust-REFVAL1 = ls_item-number_int.

gs_cust-container = ls_item-Zfield.

gs_cust-type = 'C'.

If you have created the corresponding R/3 customer field, you just have to define the mapping in table BBP_CUFMAP:

DOC_TYPE = PO

KEY_TYPE = Z

CUF_FIELD = ZFIELD

R3_FIELD = Z...

See my previous replies in those threads:

Thanks Christophe.

The problem was with the item no not being passed as refval1.
