Change Pointers for Vendor Master

Hi All,
I have to activate change pointers for Vendor Master data. I have some doubts regarding the same.
1. An Idoc will be generated for newly created vendor, right?
2. If I extend the vendor master IDOC, where should I write code to extract the values of newly added fields?
3. If I create a custom IDOC for vendor master, what is the procedure to configure this in the change pointers for Vendor Master?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
1. Afer doing all the settings required to create change pointers (BD61, BD50, BD52), the idocs will be created when u run the report RBDMIDOC or execute transaction BD21.if any changes happen in master data
like new vendor is created or vendor data is changed, then only change pointers will be created and on executing the aforesaid report, idocs will be generated.
Also idocs can be generated by replicating vendor data through transaction BD14 or any other custom transaction.
2. When you add custom segments to basic type, you have to write code in suitable user exits.
Identify suitable user exit to populate data in custom segments and write the code in oubound side.
Identify suitable user exit to populate the values in custom segments to database table, this code is to be written in inbound side.

Change pointers for HR master data

Hi I am trying to setup change pointers for HR Master data , in relation to HRMD_A06 idoc , I did all the steps for setting up change pointers.
Transaction bd52 for my reduced IDOC shows 0 entries, When i did the same for customer master data , BD52 had some entries by itself .
I can't produce any HRMD_A06 Idocs , What am i doing wrong? Should the entries in BD52 be added manually for all the fields i need?
Any help is much appriciated.
Sudheer

Hi,
guess it's not necessary to see some entries in bd52 (it's enough to activate in bd53).
Do you have configured RBDMIDOC (otherwise no IDocs will get generated).
Or you run t-code bd21 for testing. Standard way is to run the report RBDMIDOC in a periodic background job.
A good description could be found here (p. 12):

Why change pointers for master data, why not change message?

Hi Gurus,
I have one doubt about Idoc.
When changes to master data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of the transaction data change change idoc is used as is the case with orders (we use ORDCHG for ORDERS message type to send the chnage details to a order which was already sent to other system.
Why we can't use change idoc or message type whatever, instead of Chnage pointers in case of master data or vice versa in case of transaction data.
Your valuable input will be rewarded with suitable points!!
-B S B.

Change pointers are getting stored in the tables BDCP and BDCPS. As SAP suggests these tables should be as small as possible. And Master data are not much frequently changed data.
As you compare with the transactional data, you need to change them many times in the real scenario. If we also process the transaction data via chnage pointer, these changes BDCP is getting more and more entries.
RBDCPCLR is the program used to process the change pointer. If you have much data in the BDCP table, this program will take much time to run.
So, we use the change pointers for the master data only.

Report for vendor master changes

Good day,
Please can you assist with this issue,
Report S_ALR_87012089,program RFKABL00
Version ECC 6.0
This report does not reflect the old and the new values for changed bank details.
It does not show anything under the old value and shows **deleted** and **created** for new values.
Thanks in advance

You will have to do configuration in T Codes OBAT and OBAU to achieve what you want in the report.
Check the IMG activity documentation for the following.
SPRO -> IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Changing Vendor Master Records -> Define Field Groups for Vendor Master Records.
SPRO -> IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Records -> Preparations for Changing Vendor Master Records -> Group Fields for Vendor Master Records.
Also read the RFKABL00 program documentation.

CDHDR does not capture the Tcode for vendor master address changes:

Hi Guys,
Wish you a happy new year.
I have the problem to track the changes of the vendor master. I have a vendor master, which got changed by one user. If I look the change history, I can be able to see the change document number, old value and new value. based on that I used CDHDR table to find out the TCODE which is used for this change, but found no value in the TCODE field. What is the meaning of this? Is it meant to say that this field is updated by other sources other than direct changes (XK02/MK02)? If such a case, is it possible to find out the program or LSMW or BW, etc...which is used for this change?

Change Pointers for Infotypes - HR Master Data distribution

Hi,
I want to distribute HR infotypes Master Data to other systems...
How do I activate Change pointers for HR infotypes?
Do I have to use idoc HRMD_A or HRMD_B?
Do I have to distribute thru PFAL transaction?
Can I do that a employee change the data of an infotype send the idoc authomaticly?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Urtzi.

Thanks Roman,
I've looking also for idoc HRMD_ABA. What is the diference between HRDM_ABA and HRMD_A?
When I press SAVE in PA20 doing changes in an employee system distributes authomatically HRMD_ABA but not HRMD_A. Is it correct?
So, if that is correct could I say the following:
- To distribute HRDM_A we can use report RBDMIDOC scheduleing periodic JOB.
- iDoc HRDM_ABA is distributed when saving data in standard transactions.
Is that correct?
Regards.
Urtzi.

Working on IDOC OUTBOUND FOR Vendor Master and Customer Master

Hi Group,
I need to create IDOC's for Vendor master and customer master using ALE. Whenever they create vendor/customer or changes to vendor/customer should create IDOC's.
Can anyone please help me out how to proceed? I know that we can use CREMAS/DEBMAS and CREMAS04/CREMAS...But I would like to know how to use those.
Thank-You,
Venky

Hi Sai,
Welcome to group.
Related to CREMAS/DEBMAS, for your situation, you can use the change pointers. With this, when ever there is an change/create, it will create an entry in CDHDR & CDPOS and based on that it will create the IDOCs for these.
Activate the change pointers for these message types and run the application RBDMIDOC periodically (whenever you want). This application will create the IDOCs based on your entries.
To activate the change pointers, the TCODEs are
BD50 Checking change pointer is activated for Message Type
BD52 Checking which fields are configured change pointer to create. (please make sure, an entry will exist in BDCP table)
I hope you know the remaining configuration related to partner profile entries (WE20) i.e. to which system you want to send the idocs and Inbound or Outbound etc.
Let me know if you need further info.

Regarding change pointers for HRMD_A

Hi Abapers,
I need to distribute changes to HR master data to a middleware system. hence i have activated the change pointers for the message type: HRMD_A. now my idoc is populating the infotype segments whenever it is changed with all fields.
But a particular change (on an infotype) should be sent individually in two different runs of RBDMIDOC run to the middleware. Ex: Vendor A needs changes to be sent to it on a weekly basis whereas Vendor B needs changes to be sent to it on a biweekly basis. When an employee X has a change on infotype 2, this change should be sent to middleware in both instances separately in different IDOCS at different times when RBDMIDOC program is run (by capturing change pointers pertinent to the message type of the particular vendor).
What are the changes required for ALE config.? Do i need to create a new message type for vendor B and configure. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi sudarshan,
Yuo need to create Z program to trigger IDOC.
As you need to set read status of change pointer as X after yuo send it to both system.
So you need to create Z table to keep track of this whether you have send to sys a or Sys B..
If you willl not update read status in will cause performance prob.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
You don't need to program the 'translation' from a file into input data for RFBIKR00 yourself. SAP has done this, so that you can do this (nearly) without programming. If you need some special conversion rules, then you can add some coding, but most is possible without.
Have a look at transaction LSMW. It's not so complicated it looks at the first time. Just look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/ad/2d54a41d7011d2b42e006094b944c8/frameset.htm">help</a> for the way to use LSMW.
Regards,
Christian
P.S.: sorry for lost your efforts, but you should switch to LSMW

Solved - Group Fields for Vendor Master Records in IMG

This was the solution.
The new field's data element I added to LFB1 did not have the "change document" field checked. I made that change and now that field shows up in IMG.
Hello all,
I added an append structure to the table LFB1. This structure has 1 field. I then created a "Modification-Free Enhancement of Vendor Master Record" to add the new LFB1 field to the vendor master screen, edit and display screens. This is the 3rd time I have done this. So far so good.
Now our functional analyst went into IMG to add this new LFB1 field to a "Group Fields for Vendor Master Records" which we have done 2 other times.
The new LFB1 field does not show up in the list of possible Table-fields.
There must be some other step I am missing.
Does any of this ring a bell? We are on version 4.7.
Thanks
Bruce
p.s.
This is the IMG path for adding 'Field Groups' to vendor master fields.

Group Fields for Vendor Master Records
Edited by: Bruce Tjosvold on Nov 21, 2008 1:18 PM

Hi Vandana,
There are several tables that are contain Vendor Master related data which can be used for extraction to BW. Some of the tables which can be useful for you are:
LFA1 : Vendor Master (General Section)
LFM1 : Vendor master record purchasing organization data
LFBW : Vendor master record (withholding tax types) X
WYT3 : Partner Functions
LFBK : Vendor Master (Bank Details)
LFB1: Vendor Master (Company Code)
ADRC: Addresses (Business Address Services)
ADR3: Fax Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADR6: SMTP Numbers (Business Address Services)
ADRT: Communication Data Text (Business Address Services)
You may use the Data sources mentioned in the previous update from Venky above namely :
0VENDOR_ATTR --- for master data attributes
0VENDOR_TEXTS -- For texts
Since the fields that you are using are from different tables so its better if you go for a Generic Data source where you can use the fields as per your requirement.
Thanks

I have a problem, when I run the standard report to view the changes of customer/vendor master data, I don't find the change relative to a bank account .
I found in the report the technical field that the user has changed, but I haven't found the text of the data in the tab "bank account".
Can you help me, please?
Thanks in advance.

thank you for your answer , but my problem is still present. If I want to see the modify of the Customer/Vendor Master Data for the Payment transaction Data details, I don't try this information in the TCODE FD04.
Do you know a different report or TCODE that I can use?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

BAPI for Vendor master?

Hi Folks,
1.Is there any BAPI available for Vendor Master?
2.In LSMW if I am having a flat file of 4 records and I am updating only one of them which one will get uploaded? All the 4 or only the one which I had updated?
I had never worked on LSWM,so kindly let me know.
3.Do anyone here have a bdc for XK01?

Hi
Go to trxn BAPI, go by Alphabetical tab, check the BAPIs available for Vendor.
If you have 4 records in the file, all 4 will be processed (doesnt mean they will be updated, depends if you have changed any data) even if you update one in the file.
So, for a file of 4 records (with only 1 updated rrecord)
Processed records: 4
Updated records: 1

Hi,
For Vendor Master using IDoc's for LSMW,Use Message Type = CREMAS and Basic Type = CREMAS05.
For Basic type 01,02,03...05 are versions which includes more fields in basic type so better use latest version.
Hope it will help you.

Currency input data for Vendor Master

Hi
When I make a PO (me21n), the Currency data is missing. From where do we get the Currency data - from Vendor Master or the Material Master ?
Thanks in advance
Vaidee

Dear,
You got it from Vendor Master.
Enter XK01 - Create Vendor master - > Purchasing view you can maintain currency for vendor master.
For check vendor master - XK03.
You can change it with XK02.
