Previously, you could transfer customer and vendor header level data, for example the address, from an ERP system to the business partner in SCM Basis by using the core interface (CIF). You can use this business function to extend the outbound CIF interface to transfer specific attributes of customer and vendor data from an ERP system to the business partner in SCM Basis of a SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) system.

Integration

In SCM Basis, the business function Foundation of External Transportation Management System (SCM_SCMB_TM_FND1) is available to enable the use of customer and vendor data transferred from an ERP system. In SCM Basis, you can use the customer and vendor data as follows:

  • If you have manually created an organizational structure in SCM Basis, you can use the customer and vendor data to maintain a company organization that corresponds to the company code in an ERP system and is used by, for example, Transportation Charge Management of an external TM system for invoicing and charge calculation.
