To send Custom KF from SNC to B2B supplier

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement where in we have to send a custom KF Inspection lot which we are populating in SNC from APO.

We need to send this KF values separately to the B2B supplier, currently it is just being used in Projected stock calculation.

Any ideas how we could do it?

Hi Shujath,

If you would like to export the relevant Key Figure from SNC and send to your supplier then you can create a custom program.

This program should be able to export the values from key figures and then send them via file / xml or any other method you want.

There are few information you need during this journey:

1- /SCA/TSDMTEST : You can use this report to view your custom key figure values from SNC.

2- /SCMB/TSDM_TSTP_READ : This FM is used to read the key figures in SNC. You need to use it during the program creation.

In addition to that, if you want to send your messages via XMLs then you can use existing interface to transfer the data.

Kindly let me know if you need further details in this B2B scenario.

Hi Selim,

Thanks for the reply, We have a custom program which is sending demand and stock data from APO to SNC and the supplier via the PAN XML, so what do you suggest we make use of the same program to send the custom KF or develop a new custom program in SNC to send it fromn there.

What is the best approach and how do we go about it.

P.S: The KF is kind of a receipt element.

Hi Sharieff,

In standart SMI scenarios where we keep the SAP provided Key Figures and custom Key figures there is no standart outgoing interface to suppliers.

Actually SAP is developed a functionality to user File Transfer to send this kind of information without using interfaces. File transfer helps you to send or receive documents without developing custom interfaces.

Why dont use that functionality for your B2B integration?

In your case this can help you to integrate with your external partners.

Here is the SAP SNC Help link for File Transfer.

File Transfer - SAP Library

Note that you should be activating Gen 1 & Gen 2 Business Functions to use this functionality.

If this solution does not suite in your case then yes you need to develop fully custom coded solution in your landscape like you did between APO to SNC.
