Documentation

Definition

The Alternate Product Number (APN) is an alternative identification of the product that the business partner uses.

It does not need to be created as its own material master in the ERP system.

Within Logistics Execution in the ERP system, it is stored without validation. The translation to the internal material number needs to be provided in the external system or within an implementation of a Business Add-In (BAdI).
