Creating Customer Master Record in ECC

[former_member496675]

Hi,

Here's the scenario:

ECC is set to internal number generation

Data Services is being used to prepare customer master data

Without a number in hand, how can data services post ADRMAS and DEBMAS in ECC successfully? Don't we need to have the customer number to create a link between ADRMAS and DEBMAS?

Hi,

In your requirement, you can configure Internal Customer number ranges in ECC using transaction XDN1.

also you can write RFC and call the same from Portal to get the latest number and increment the counter by 1.

Then you can use PI systems to split the Address Data and Other Customer Data into ADRMAS and DEBMAS respectively.

You can send single debmas to PI system and PI system can take care of splitting.

Since you will have the customer number associated with DEBMAS and ADRMAS, so there should not be any problem in processing both idocs. Also the customer number has been generated through SAP system using RFC call, then the associated number will be considered as Internal. This should solve your problem.

Thank you.

Hello,

If you are using DEBMDM Idoc, then the Standard Business content for SAP PI, splits the Idoc in DEBMAS and ADRMAS.

This splitting takes care of the linkage between the DEBMAS and ADRMAS.

Where as ADRMAS doesnt have any Data Consistency check in it, this will be posted in the ECC DB only after successful posting of DEBMAS.

Since SAP PI belongs to SAP NetWeaver Stack, the Number Generated are considered as Internal, but the Number are not incremented, they remain static, with Customer getting created with proper numbers.

Address Number is the common field which acts as the foreign key reference between KNA1(Customer Master) and ADRC(Address Maintenance).

Since you are using DS, you will have to maintain a linkage using a temp storage, and ask for an acknowledgement when successfully posting of data is done in ECC.
