Abstract:

Crocs was one of sev­er­al com­pa­nies that test­ed pilot note 2110780. We start­ed the process in April of 2015 and had issues with size integri­ty, and sub­se­quent­ly, with VAS mapped from IDOCs. The note did not sup­port the users exits we had used for our con­tract ref­er­ence via IDOCs. We stopped work­ing on the note at that point. In 2017 we began test­ing an upgrade to 6.7 which went live in June of 2017. We found out after going live that our test­ing was not rig­or­ous enough as we had issues with our EDI orders that ref­er­enced con­tracts. We quick­ly dis­cov­ered that the pilot note had been released and was part of the base pack­age and it could not be removed. We end­ed up have to com­ment out the code. After work­ing with SAP Enter­prise Sup­port, we were even­tu­al­ly able to get a solu­tion that sup­port­ed the user exits that we had lever­aged in our solu­tion. As of April 2018, we are final­ly live with the solu­tion to ref­er­ence split sched­ule lines via IDOC process. We would like to share our three year jour­ney with the com­mu­ni­ty in an effort to inform and help short­en any imple­men­ta­tion cycles on this functionality.
