Use

You can enhance the master data of your customers and vendors (FI and LO) in order to add additional information. To do this, you develop subscreens to which you add the required fields.

You can access your subscreens in the master records of the business partner via integrated buttons; there, your screens are integrated on a tab page. You can assign up to 32 tab pages/subscreens to each button.

With a change of release, upgrade, or a support package, you copy your own subscreens and data and the relevant tables without having to make any modifications.

In this IMG activity, you prepare the modification-free transfer of enhancements from your business partner masters.

Activities

In the following, "business partner" indicates "customer" and "vendor".

  1. Choose Edit screen group <business partner>, and define a two digit alphanumeric key and a name for each of the required screen groups.

    The name of the screen group appears later in the form of a pushbutton on the initial screens of your business partner master data.
    To use your enhancement, that is, your button is visible, activate it with the BADI Processing Master Data Enhancements with method CHECK_ADD_ON_ACTIVE (see step 3 below).

  2. Choose Name tab page, and for each screen group, enter the data required for the tab pages.
    For each screen group you can create a maximum of 32 tab pages.

    Note the following:

    • With Ordinal number, you control the order of the tab pages.
    • With the Function code, at runtime, the system identifies the tab page selected by the user.
    • The Name appears as heading on the tab page.
    • The Icon (optional) appears next to the heading on the tab page.

      You call up the tab pages in the business partner master data via the corresponding pushbutton. Each tab page contains your customer-specific subscreen on which you can process your business partner data.
      You integrate your subscreens using the filter-dependent BADI Customer Subscreens; choose your screen group as filter (see step 3 below).

  3. To link your subscreens and data to the standard application, use the following BADIs:
    • Business Add-In: Processing Master Data Enhancements
      (CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA/VENDOR_ADD_DATA)
    • Business Add-In: Customer Subscreens
      (CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS/VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS)
    • Business Add-In: Processing Master Data Enhancements with Batch Input
      (CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_BI/VENDOR_ADD_DATA_BI)

      You can access the BADIs in the Implementation Guide directly under this IMG activity; for more information see the documentation for the relevant BADIs and their methods.
