Synchronise Vendor Master changes (If we made change to vendor master in S4 HANA it should reflect in ECC.)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement to synchronise the vendor master changes from SAP S4 HANA system to ECC for a specific vendor account group ( Employee Vendor). If we made any changes to the vendor master in S4 system then it should trigger the same change in ECC system also.

I have searched several topics and found it can be done through Idoc ("Cremas"), But don't found a proper document.
If anyone has already worked on this, Please share a document/link here or suggest how to proceed.

Hi,

You can implement BADI to catch event BEFORE UPDATE and call IDOC to update vendor in ECC system. So, I have already done a quick check S4 Hana system and there may be 2 solutions:

1. Implement BADi BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE

2. Add new function on event DSAVC - Complete Data for Saving, tcode BUS7

Hope help you,

Hi Kim,

Thank you.

Can you please explain the process how to configure the scenario and if possible please provide the steps to configure the IDOC and Implement BPUA_GENERAL_UPDATE.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi Arun, it seems we are not able to get your requirement, could you please explain more what do you mean by S4 system, it is S4 Hana Web UI or Something else!!!

Hi Ankur,

The requirement is like below.

We have two systems ( SAP S4 HANA and old ECC system). We have moved the vendors from the ECC system to S4 HANA system. Now any changes or updates are done in the S4 HANA system.

But our HR module is still running in ECC system. So once we make any changes to vendor ( Specific to employee vendor) we need to come back to ECC system to manually update the vendor master to sync data.

We need a process by which if we make any changes to vendor master/business partner in S4 HANA System it automatically updates the old ECC system data ( may be through idoc/ALE).

I hope my requirement is clear now. If any questions/suggestions please reply.

Regards,

Arun

This can be done only through BDC or IDOC, you can take help with your ABAPer, or also move this thread to ABAP Solution.

This has nothing at all to do with ABAP. BDC is certainly a wrong advice.

IDocs is right since they are used in an ALE process.  This process is usually triggered by change pointers, it could also be executed with BD14 manually. This is all well explained in help.sap.com and countless times in SCN.

However, since it is about the S4/HANA it is quite a new issue as S/4HANA makes use of business partners and standard maintenance of vendors through XK02 is not anymore available. And I don't know if BD14 is still around

I have a session with SAP about Business Partner usage and master data migration and distribution in the first week of October, I hope that I am able to answer it then in detail.

If anybody has already a hand on S4 and knows how it is done then he is welcome to answer this question.

He can even write a blog  if the process is different from today's distribution, and a blog about Business Partner and CVI is highly welcome too.

Thanks for correct me!!

Hi Jurgen Sir,

I believe you might have a discussion regarding business partner this week.

Can you please help.

It was scheduled for today, but we had to cancel it yesterday since the job to analyze our current system is running for 6 days already and we need this result for our meeting. So it had to be postponed and might take place in November when I am back from vacation.
