Using EAN/GTIN or Customer Product number with API (S4/Hana)

[former_member614066]

Hi Experts,

We are currently implementing SAP S4/Hana MTE. What is the best way to create a Sales Order via API (SAP_COM_0288) using the GTIN/EAN or Customer code?

Our EDI customers may send the EAN/GTIN or their own product code. With the API I do not see any way to use anything else but the SAP material number.

Thank you for you time and effort in answering the question

Regards

Hi Jacques ,

I checked the API documentation available at the links below but there appears to be no EAN / GTIN field for Sales Orders in the Cloud.

An option might be to use Extensibility using the 'Custom fields and logic' app to add a custom field at item level to store this information supplied by the customer.

Or use the API Product Master API API_PRODUCT_SRV where usually the EAN information is maintained for a Product.

If you have any questions , please let us know

Thanks
