Use

You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) PDCNV to influence the selection and extraction of the iPPE model and the conversion to a bill of material.

For example, you can define default settings for iPPE extraction and conversion.

Requirements

Standard settings

  • The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.
  • The Business Add-In cannot exist at several positions.
  • The Business Add-In is not filter-dependent.

Activities

After you call the IMG activity, the system displays a dialog box where you enter a name for the implementation.

If implementations of this Business Add-In have already been created, the system displays them in a dialog box. You then choose one of them by choosing Create, and continue as follows:

  1. In the dialog box, enter a name for the implementation of the Add-In and choose Create.
    The system displays the initial screen for creating Business Add-In implementations.
  2. On this screen, enter a short description for your implementation in the Implementation Short Text field.
  3. If you choose the Interface tab, you will notice that the system has populated the Name of the Implementing Class field automatically, by assigning a class name based on the name of your implementation.
  4. Save your entries and assign the Add-In to a package.
  5. To edit a method, double-click its name.
  6. Enter your implementation code between the method <Interface Name>~<Name of Method>. and endmethod. statements.
  7. Save and activate your code. Navigate back to the Change Implementation screen.
    Note: You can also create an implementation for an Add-In and not activate it until later. If you want to do this, do not perform the following step:
  8. Choose Activate.
    When the application program is executed, the code you created is run through.

You can find additional information in the SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> ABAP Workbench (BC-DWB)-> Changing the SAP Standard (BC) -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementing a Business Add-In.
