Integration scenario with ECC - additional fields should be maintained

Hi All,

a customer of ours wants to use the standard integration scenario with ECC with the material master data integration.

Currently, only some fields are transferred from ECC to ByD. Unfortunately this customer needs some additional fields to be transferred - in his case some copper master data used for the price calculation within ByD. Therefore they are important for him.

As the customer has 4 ByD-tenants (and one ECC) and is frequently creating new products, this is very important to him.

As far as I know there is no solution to add addtional fields to the interface. Is there any way to provide additional fields from ECC to ByD when material master data are send from ECC to ByD?

Kind regards,

Klaus

Hallo Klaus,

unfortunately we don't support IDoc extensibility in ByD today. However you can transfer almost all material master information to ByD using the ByD material web services ManageMaterialIn and QueryMaterialIn. You find a documentation of the ByD web services at SAP Business ByDesign – SAP Help Portal Page, navigating to "Web Service APIs".

2 ideas how to setup a material integration ECC to ByD:

  1. ECC sends material master information using some standard or custom IDoc (e.g. MATMAS.MATMAS05) to some middleware. The middleware maps the IDoc structure and values to the ByD web service signature, calls the ByD web service and takes care about error handling.
  2. ECC directly calls the ByD web services to query and update ByD materials. ECC takes care of structural mapping and value mapping. This push mechanism can be embedded into the ECC ALE infrastructure, such that you can reuse ECC change notification and monitoring.

Best regards,

Knut
