Notes on SAP Implementation

  • The generated proxy in DDF is the /DMF/CL_FND_INVRPLCTBLKRQ ABAP class. The proxy data type is used in DDF for the /DMF/FND_INV_TDM_RPLCT_REQ incoming bulk replication message.

  • The Service Implementation Workbench (SIW) is used to implement the service back-end system. The SIW uses the /DMF/II_FND_INVRPLCTBLKRQ project ID configuration name and the /DMF/CL_FND_INVRPLCTBLK_SI generated service implementation class.

  • DDF uses the Service Mapping Tool (SMT) for the inbound message mapping (/DMF/CL_INV_RPLCTN_SMT Mapping field).

Enhancements

The /DMF/SE_FND_INVRPLCTBLK Business Add-In (BAdI) is available for this operation. The BAdI contains the /DMF/IF_SE_FND_INVRPLCTBLK interface with the INBOUND_PROCESSING method.

The method is called during the inbound data mapping and can be used in the following cases:

  • To overwrite the existing mapping.

  • To map additional data if new elements were added to the message.

The /DMF/CO_INV_RPLCTN_REQ_MSG_S internal communication structure is used as the importing parameter for the method.

The Service Mapping Tool (SMT) allows you to enhance the inbound and outbound mapping. To enhance the mapping, you must select the /DMF/CL_INV_RPLCTN_SMT application as the entry point.
