scenario: MATMAS request inside BPM

[Former Member]

HI,

we are using the following scenario: BOMMAT IDOC -> XI BPM -> lot of MATMAS IDOCs.

I have to check a materialnumber in the SAP R/3 Applikation System(Sender) for a special Item inside the BPM.

Exampel:

The BOMMAT IDoc is filled with materialnumber 119911. Now i have to get (either outside or inside the BPM) maybe via RFC ? special information about this item from the R/3 sender system (not XI). With this information i can go ahead inside the BPM transformation.

Any ideas/scenarious ?

Hello Gordon,

I presume u are going to check a material number in the same system, then why do you want to use BPM for it? Check with functional consultants there should be some BADI / user exit for that business process, where you can put the logic and also do lookup and feed in some unused or unrequired field in idoc so that you can use in ur mapping, as you can do multi mapping in XI without BPM now, I would suggest you to avoid BPM as you are not replicating a process in XI but a mere data exchange. This approach will give you much better performance.

use RFC lookups in your message mapping.

also there are loadz of info. on SDN regarding RFC look ups please search for them

HI,

You can go for either RFC Lookups where you will be sending a MATMAS request to R3 system and it will response the details from R3 system or you can go for the scenario like IDOC-> RFC request and RFC response-> IDOC

For Lookup refer the below weblogs and help :
