Use
Application components: VB
Transaction: MB56
You can use Business Add-In (BAdI) VB_GET_EXT_BATCHES to integrate additional data sources in the batch where-used list.
To do this, three method calls GET_BATCH_USAGE_A, GET_BATCH_USAGE_B, and GET_BATCH_USAGE_C are used according to the standard batch where-used list. For additional information on the use and meaning of the methods, see the documentation on the individual methods.
The standard coding for the batch where-used list was changed so that external data records are marked and processed as such, and are displayed with an icon to indicate that it is external data. The icon used is displayed in the legend.
In addition to the usage data, external material texts can be transferred to the batch where-used list using transfer table MAKT_EXTERN.
Requirements
The customer-specific implementation must fill all of the required fields in table CHVW_EXTERN.
Standard settings
- The Business Add-In does not have any filters.
- The Business Add-In cannot be used multiple times.
Activities
To activate the Business Add-In, you must create an active implementation. To do this, choose the following path in the SAP Menu: Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementation

Example
With the integration of external data, we are dealing with scenarios in which batch usage extends beyond your own company data. A possible scenario would be further tracking based on data from a vendor system that should be integrated into the batch where-used list. First the vendor data should be stored in a customer-specific table in the SAP system. However you could integrate any data source that can be connected to using a suitable interface from the SAP system. The data sets integrated in such a way are displayed and flagged as external batches in the batch where-used list.
