How to use CI_CUSTOM in vmd_ei_api

79 Views Last edit Aug 17, 2023 at 06:24 AM 2 rev

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to manage (Create & Change) Vendor master data using an Inbound IDoc from other system.

Part of the requirement, I have custom fields of Vendor master to update. I find CI_CUSTOM in vmd_ei_api can help to achieve it but I am not sure. Want your help, how to append the structure or fields into CI_CUSTOM where I am familiar only in BAPI Extension.

1) Do I need to create/map my custom structure or table fields into CI_CUSTOM (VMDS_EI_EXTERN) ?

2) Is there any other additional set up or logic I need to implement (like BADI enhancement) to map the fields?

FYI, I am using maintain_bapi to record my Vendor master.

Please help (and share if there are any blogs to refer).

Thanks.
