Interface SRS_PDC_GM_MATDATA_OUTBOUND 
Use
This provides PDC units with information on article data.
This function module is used as an
interface for transferring article data to the PDC infrastructure (PDC
download). The function module itself contains no processing logic, but is
rather used simply to define the interface.
The module is supplied with data and called using program R_SRS_PDC_MATDATA_OUT.
Integration
Article data is transferred by RFC module SRS_PDC_SO_OUTBOUND to the PDC units for goods receipt processing. The article data is then grouped together. The type of grouping is determined by RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_STRUCTURE.
If you are using the SAP Business Connector to transfer data, there are specially developed help programs that use field FILE_NAME to generate files in XML format. For an exact description of the interface’s data structure, see the SAP Interface Repository, which all users can access.
Prerequisites
To be able to use the module, you have to define an RFC destination in SAP R/3 that is assigned to your target system. The target system may be an SAP Business Connector or a non-SAP system (for example, a PDC server). You must maintain partner and port profiles for the RFC destination.
To use RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_MATDATA, RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_STRUCTURE should have been called as the necessary article grouping is forwarded with this module.
Features
The data you are provided with by RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_DATA may be too comprehensive for you to process it efficiently on the PDC unit. For this reason, RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_STRUCTURE provides you with information about all the existing assortment list groups in your store. RFC module SRS_PDC_GM_MATDATA prepares the article data based on the assortment list structure and then sends it in smaller files.
Errors that arise in outbound processing are logged in the application log (transaction SLG1) under object W_SRS and subobject PDC_GM.
Activities
Interface SRS_PDC_GM_MATDATA is executed using program R_SRS_PDC_ASSORT_STRUCT_OUT.
