Master data distribution using IDOCs

Transaction codes

• BD21 : Generate idocs from change pointers
• BD50 : Activate and deactivate change pointers for message type
• BD61 : Activate and deactivate change pointers generally
• BD64 : Distribution model

Step by Step example

This example demonstrates how to distribute changes to the material master.

• Sender system: C46 client 30
• Receiver system: C46 client 200
• Idoc message type: MATMAS

Activate change pointers

If not done allready, activate change pointers generally (Transaction BD61) and for the message type ( Transaction BD50 )

ALE configuration in the sender system

These step should be carried out in client 030

Create RFC destination

Go to transaction SM59, select R/3 Connections create RFC destination that points to client 200:

Create port

Go to transaction WE21 and create port for client 200. The port should point to the RFC destination created above

Create partner profile

Go to trsansaction WE20 and create partner profile C46CLNT200. Add outbound message type messsag type MATMAS:

Use receiver port Z000000002 and idoc basic type MATMAS03:

ALE configuration in the receiver system

As in the sender system a RFC destination, port and partner profile should be created in the receiver system cielnt 200. In the partner profile add message type MATMAS:

Set up distribution model

In client C30 set up distribution model to distribute MATMAS idocs to client 200

Go to trsnaction BD64

Create model view My Test

Press the Add message type button and fill out the dialog box:

Your model should now look like this:

Testing the data distrbution

• In the sender system client 030 go to trsnaction MM02 and change a material
• In sender system client 030 Go to transaction BD21 and select message type MATMAS and execute the program
• In the sender system client 030 go to transaction WE02 and check that an outbound idoc of basis type MATMAS03 and message type MATMAS has been sent without errors
• In the receiver system client 200 go to transaction WE02 and check that an inbound idoc of basis type MATMAS03 and message type MATMAS has been received without errors
• In the receiver system client 200 go to transaction MM02 and check that the material has been changed
