Dynamic mapping in XI

[Former Member]

Hi, I have the folowing situation: I have to transforme a material code from a non-sap system into a material code of a sap system. The relation betwean the codes are dynamic.

How can I do this en XI ? The translation tool in XI, let me do transformation only in a static way.

What you mean by dynamic?

You're saying it is changed periodically?

Cesar,

After converting / translating material are you trying to post the data in SAP R/3 system using BAPI's or Idoc?

In that case RFC lookup is not good idea..this will have performance issue. I'll suggest check out for UserExit. If you can find exit before posting data you can write your code to map non sap material number for sap material number...If it is posting of Material Master you wll find number of user exits for this.

Let me know if you need more details.

Hey

if u have maintained the tables between the material code in non-sap system and material code in SAP system then i guess u can use RFC lookups.

you can also use value mapping if u don't wanna change the codes often

Thanx

Cesar,

Are these table maintained in R/3. If yes then you can go for RFC Lookup and do it dynamically at runtime. If its not maintained in R/3 then the other option would be maintaining Value Mappings.
