Customer Fields in SAP Bidding Engine 

Use

You can use customer fields in SAP Bidding Engine system to enhance standard structures, thereby creating your own (customer-specific) solution to display, change and forward the contents of non-standardized fields.

This gives you the flexibility to implement a corporate look and feel across all bid invitations that are conducted within your company.

While attributes within SAP Bidding Engine are only relevant for the specific bid invitation in which they are selected, customer fields are displayed in every bid invitation and cannot be de-/ selected for an individual bid invitation. Please refer to the overall customer fields documentation for more information on how to use this type of field.

Prerequisites

The system administrator has created the following structures in the ABAP Dictionary and defined the required fields:

·         CI_BBP_HDR_BID for the header data of the bid invitation

·         CI_BBP_ITEM_BID for the item data of the bid invitation

·         CI_BBP_HDR_QUOT for the header data of the bid

·         CI_BBP_ITEM_QUOT for the item data of the bid

The relevant fields are only displayed in bid invitations and bids once these steps have been performed by the system administrator.

To have an identical set of customer fields in the bid invitation and in the bid, the content set-up must be the same in the relevant structures.

You do not have to change the Dynpro template to display the fields.
