MGV00003 - Material master (retail): ALE distribution

Distribution by Application Link Enabling (Retail)

Important
Industry customers must use customer enhancement MGV00001.

You use this customer enhancement to distribute data, which is defined in customer-specific material master fields, to other systems by Application Link Enabling (ALE). This requires you to have extended the material master table concerned (MARA, MARC, and so on) to include customer-specific fields.

You must intervene in the ALE process at the following points:

• ALE outbound processing (function module exit EXIT_SAPLMV01_003)

In the sending system, this exit is used to transfer the customer-specific data from the correspondingly extended internal structure (such as MARA) to the assigned BAPI/IDoc structure (such as BAPIE1MARAEXTRT).

• ALE inbound processing (function module exit EXIT_SAPL1001_003)

In the receiving system, this exit is used to transfer the customer-specific data from the assigned BAPI/IDoc structure (such as BAPIE1MARAEXTRT) to the correspondingly extended internal structure (such as MARA).

For more information and examples, see the respective function module exits.
