TM Conditions and Data Crawler guide

That is a step by step guide on how to use data crawler and the conditions. Together they are a powerful tool that we can use to determine data in the system (no coding is required!).

I tried to explain it as detailed as possible, please let me know your thoughts on this!

Requirement: Determine freight order purchase organization based on forwarding order sales organization.

For this we are going to use condition type /SCMTMS/TOR_ORGUNIT with data crawler to “reach” the fields we want to use as reference.

We are going to start searching where are the fields we are going to use for our process. So we are going to /n/BOBF/TEST_UI transaction and use the object /SCMTMS/TOR (because my starting point is the freight order)

/n/BOBF/TEST_UI

Now we are going to pick a Record to use as an example, in our case a freight order. The parameter I use for the search is query by ROOT – ROOT_ELEMENTS

Now I use my freight order ID as na example (TOR_ID).

 A record is found.

 Now we must scroll down to check where is the Field that has the Sales organization info.

So we found SALES_ORG_ID

 Now let´s jump into the configuration

Create data crawler

 The profile ID is created

 On path steps we create this entry where BO NAME is the object name and, association name is the node where the Field that has the value we want is.

 Next we create a new entry

 Z_PUR_ORG_FWO is created

 Detail

 Now all we have to do is create a condition that uses all this definitions we made so far.

On data Access defintion screen

 Then we create the records accordingly 

 And now, finally! J When we create the FO the system assumes the purchase organization automatically based on my conditions. (remember that you must assigned the condition to your freight order)

And that´s all for now!
