Vendor master extraction

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Case : If we use transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR

For extraction of main table record for vendor master.

Here we need to fill the details in Local control of extraction.

in case of vendor master we also need to fill the range of vendor number in LIFNR field which were in data source for MDM.

here we need to specify the vendor number with some leading 0's.if we do without leading 0's transaction will not run.

For seeing the 0's we can check out the particular record or value for vendor master in particular table say in LFA1 for vendor.

Now we are dealing with these records in MDM without 0's or not and if we are sending back to R3 it ll go with leading 0's or not or we need to create the some other structure or to do some other setting.

Please specify.

Appropriate answers will be rewarded with full points.

Hi Deepak,

Transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR creates the IDOC. SAP general rule about the IDOCs is, all the outbound idoc which contains the Vendor/Customer Number will contains leading zeros, but for inbound IDOCs the numbers will come without leading zeros. So I guess there will not be any problem in synchronizing MDM data back to R/3.

It is also depend on how you are sending data between these systems. E.g. R/3 -> MDM or R/3 -> XI -> MDM

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Mander,

My question is why we are dealing with these leading 0's.

without it it will give error and why we are not taking these 0's when we are sending back thye data from MDM to to R3
