Track changes in customer material info (VD52) and create custom IDocs

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

we want to track changes, which are made in VD52 (Customer matertial info record) and create custom IDocs (Z-format) based on these changes. What is the best way to do this?

Best regards,

David

Hi,

There are a dedicated BTEs (Business Tranaction Event) for this purpose (transaction FIBF).

- created customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504001_E

- changed customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504002_E

- deleted customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504003_E

You can assign your own FM to the BTE and send custom IDoc whenever there is a new/updated/deletd customer-material info record.

Regards,

Marcin

Hello again,

I saw that some companies use "field exits" to do this. Is there is alternative to field exits? For example event triggered background jobs?
