Anyone had any success sending SAP R/3 Purchase Order Text to and from MDM?

[Former Member]

I am having problems finding a way for the Purchase Order Text from SAP R/3 to interface smoothly with MDM. In R/3 when you are keying the Purchase Order Text, if you don't hit Enter to start a new line, it will automatically wrap to a new line after about 70 characters. Because of these multiple lines, the IDOC extracts this as separate lines. When I import this into MDM I want these multiple lines to be concatenated into one field (which I believe I figured out), but then I also want to be able to edit the text as one field, but am not sure if this will interface back to R/3 correctly. The thing I want to avoid is having to setup a separate field in MDM for each line that is extracted from R/3...I want it to be all lumped together like it is in R/3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dear MDM experts,

I am also interested in this issue. We are also thinking of syndicating PO Text maintained as a single Text in MDM to a R/3 system. If you could post your answers in this thread, it would help every one.

Hi,

The Best option is Using Text Blocks.First Concatenate PO Text into one string and in import manager split it into Multiple values and Load...When you load the data into MDM you will see each Separate Text lines...Any issues ,please Email me , i will help you..

I still have not had any luck finding a way to send Purchase Order Text (E1MTXHM->E1MTXLM->TDLINE) back to R/3 successfully. I have tried setting up the Purchase Order Text in MDM as both a Text Large and as a Text Block. My problem is that when I syndicate this back to R/3, it must be split into separate lines.

Has anyone had any luck with this?

Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

As long as the MDM field which stores the PO text is large enough to hold the data you should not have a problem transferring the data back from MDM to R/3.

Check the R/3 field length maintained for the PO text field , create/ modify the

MDM field accordingly & syndicate.

Hope this helps !
