Update EKKO table

Question

Hi,
I have got the requirement to update EKKO table while creating PO. The exact scenario is, I need to update email address based on some condition while creating PO.
This is what I have found:
When we create PO, the ADRNR field of EKKO would have a value. But when we change address in the PO manually then it would have ADRNR field value in EKKO. It will not change address in the vendor master record. In stead it is maintaining separate entry in ADRC.
My issue is I have written the logic in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 to generate ADRNR while creating PO. I do not know where to update the field ADRNR of EKKO. Am I following right step. Please advise.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hi,
The sandard SAP approach is, whenever you change an address in address tab of PO the ADRNR field in the EKKO will be generated and corresponding record will be created in table ADRC.
If your only requirement is to only store mail address, based on certain condition in PO and for that PO only, then you can store then mail address in any unused field at the header level in PO which is big enough to store the mail address or you can store the mail address in any header level text which you are not using.
If this fulfil your requirement without affecting any other functionality you can dissucc with your functional consultant and decide which way to adopt.
