Handles changes to bank details, addresses, terms and blocks on customer and supplier records with evidence, a callback, four-eyes approval and write-back to the ERP and the CRM.
Tables are read in place through the SAP connector, using released read interfaces; changed rows arrive through change capture where the basis team allows it. The rows stay in SAP.
| Object | Read from | Fields the app uses | Freshness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier master | LFA1 · LFB1 · LFM1 (business partner in S/4) | LFA1.LIFNR (id) · LFA1.NAME1 (name) · LFA1.LAND1 (country) · LFA1.SPERR (block) | live; change capture where enabled |
| Customer master | KNA1 · KNB1 · KNVV | KNA1.KUNNR (id) · KNA1.NAME1 (name) · KNA1.LAND1 (country) · KNVV.VKORG (sales org) | live; change capture where enabled |
| Purchasing contract | EKKO · EKPO (BSTYP = 'K' / 'L') | EKKO.EBELN (number) · EKKO.LIFNR (vendor) · EKKO.KDATE (valid to) · EKKO.KTWRT (target value) | live; change capture where enabled |
| Sales order line | VBAK · VBAP · VBEP | VBAK.VBELN (number) · VBAP.POSNR (line) · VBAK.KUNNR (customer) · VBAP.MATNR (material) | live; change capture where enabled |
In plain words: A requester submits S01 with a new value that differs from the current value.
This app starts from a screen, so the first read happens when the instance opens; the criteria on the arrows use the fields above.
A requester submits S01 with a new value that differs from the current value. The instance then reads its rows from S/4HANA through the handlers above.
Writes go through released BAPIs and IDocs. Each call returns a document number or an error message, and the app records both beside the decision.
| Object | What changes | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier master | bank details, address, terms or block changed through the vendor change interface; change document number stored | BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA · BAPI_VENDOR_* |
| Customer master | address, terms or block changed through the customer change interface; the CRM account updated within a minute | BAPI_BUPA_* · BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1 |
Each write stores the identifier S/4HANA returns beside the decision, the person and the time, so the log answers who changed what, and the reconciliation shows it arrived.
SAP roles are mapped to Lima access policies once. A buyer who sees purchasing organisation 1000 in SAP sees the same rows in the app.
On SAP ECC the same objects live in the classic tables named beside each row; MATDOC becomes MKPF and MSEG, ACDOCA becomes BKPF and BSEG. The BAPIs are the same.
| Object | On S/4HANA | On SAP ECC |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier master | LFA1 · LFB1 · LFM1 (business partner in S/4) | LFA1/LFB1/LFM1 vendor master, XK01 via BAPI |
| Customer master | KNA1 · KNB1 · KNVV | same tables |
| Purchasing contract | EKKO · EKPO (BSTYP = 'K' / 'L') | same tables |
| Sales order line | VBAK · VBAP · VBEP | same tables |
The screens read through handlers that leave the rows in S/4HANA. History the app needs at scale is landed in the lake by the Backbone, which is the exception by design.
The prerequisites above: an integration identity with read rights on the objects listed and write rights on the interfaces named, connectivity, and the scopes agreed with the process owner.
Yes. The screens, criteria and roles stay; the handlers are re-bound to the other system's objects, listed above.
Bring the process and the systems it touches. In the first session we register the data handlers, draw the levels or the lanes and run the first screen on your live rows.
