Function documentationForwarding Master Data Changes

 

Using this report you can forward changes to the master date (of the business partner or the card itself) to the processor. The transfer to the processor usually takes place during end-of-day processing.

The report reads the master data changes from the table BCA_CARD_CHG and forwards them to the Business Add-In (BAdI) BCA_CARD_CHANGE_OUT. Then the BAdI transmits the changes to the processor.

You can find the BAdI in Customizing for Account Management under Start of the navigation path Contract Management Next navigation step Card Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Next navigation step General BAdIs Next navigation step Forward Master Data Change to Processor (Batch) End of the navigation path.

Integration

  • You can display master data changes that have not yet been forwarded to the processor using the report Display Batch Transfer to Processor.

  • You can display the logs for the master data changes and other communication processes for cards. For more information, see Display Logs.

  • You can also transfer the data to the processor online. For more information, see Forwarding Master Data Changes.

Prerequisites

  • In Customizing, you have selected Batch as output mode for master data changes (at card product level).

    To find the settings, choose Start of the navigation path Account Management Next navigation step Product Management Next navigation step Product Definition Next navigation step Card Products Next navigation step Change Card Product End of the navigation path (attribute Start of the navigation path Interfaces to the Processor Next navigation step Output Modes End of the navigation path). Here, choose Batch as output mode for the required card process.

  • The BAdI BCA_CARD_CHANGE_OUT is implemented.

  • Some processors need a transaction reference number for the data exchange. In this case, you must implement the BAdI BCA_REFNR_CREATE.
