Use

Material documents (object type MKPF) are linked to the DRB, and can therefore be displayed including any linked objects.

Integration

Material documents can be linked with documents of the following object types:

Purchase order (BUS2012)
Customer outbound delivery (LIKP)

There may sometimes be additional links as detailed in the general section.

Features

Calling the DRB

You have the following options for calling up the DRB using material documents:

Program RASHMM11
The role SAP_DRB
The Archive Information System (for archived documents)

In addition to being able to execute program RASHMM11 manually, you can do this in the role Document Relationship Browser (SAP_DRB) by choosing the menu path Logistics ® Materials Management ® Material Document. The program generates a list from which you can access the DRB by double-click.

You can use the following fields for the document selection. You can do so only if these fields are part of the archive information structure used. In addition to the selection field names, the table contains the corresponding field names in the field catalogs SAP_MM_MATBEL01 and SAP_MM_MATBEL02.

Selection Via	01	02
Material document	MBLNR	MBLNR
Material document year	MJAHR	MJAHR
Material	MATNR	-
Plant	WERKS	-
Storage location	LGORT	-
Movement type	BWART	-
Posting date	BUDAT	BUDAT
User name	USNAM	USNAM

Recommendation

If you select using Material, Plant, Storage Location or Movement type you should use the field catalog SAP_MM_MATBEL01. If you do not need to select using these fields, you are recommended to use field catalog SAP_MM_MATBEL02, as this requires fewer entries to be retained in the archive information structure.

In addition to these are the selection buttons Search in database, Search in database and SAP AS and Search DB, SAP AS, and archive which you can use to determine the data source for the display in the DRB. You can find additional information on this under DRB Initial Programs.

When you display archived material documents in the business view (the standard view delivered by SAP) of the Archive Information System you can branch to the DRB by choosing Relationships or via the menu path Document ® Document Relationships.
