Periodic Transfer of Master Data 

Use
Information regarding new and changed master data has to be transferred
regularly to SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS). The system records
changes as ALE change pointers and then reads them with program
RBDMIDOC, which in turn updates the master records in SAP GTS. To
enable the system to transfer the changes to SAP GTS, you need to create
variants of this program.
Schedule the program for periodic data transfer in background processing for
the following reduced message types:
●      Customers (reduced message type: /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_SLL
●      Vendors (reduced message type: /SAPSLL/CREMAS_SLL)
●      Materials (reduced message type: /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL)
SAP GTS provides the necessary data scope in the regular message types in
SAP GTS. Accordingly, you have to schedule the background job for the
periodic transfer of the master data based on these standard message types:
●      Bills of material (message type: /SAPSLL/BOMMAT)
●      Prices (message type: /SAPSLL/PSDMAT)
●      Procurement indicators (message type: /SAPSLL/PRCMAT)
 
Prerequisites
You have set up number ranges for master data records correctly. For more
information, see the Prerequisites section in Activating Change Pointers and
the corresponding IMG activity documentation in the IMG for SAP GTS.
 
Activities
A: Create a Program Variant
        1.      In the feeder system, call transaction /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALR3. To
create a program variant, choose Master Data ® Delta Management
Through Periodic Transfer Using Change Pointers ® Create Selection
Variant for Job.
        2.      Enter RBDMIDOC in the Program field and make sure that
the Variants radio button is selected in the Subobjects area.
        3.      Click Variants in the menu bar to create a variant for the transfer
program.
        4.      You have to create a separate variant of program RBDMIDOC
for each master data type that you want to transfer to SAP GTS.
        5.      Choose Create.
        6.      Assign the appropriate reduced message type to each variant.

You want to transfer material master data. You create the variant
SLL_MATERIAL for program RBDMIDOC, and you assign the
appropriate ALE message type (/SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL) to this
variant.
        7.      Choose Attributes in the menu bar and enter a text for the program
variant. You can run the program as a background job. Save your entries.
 
B: Job Scheduling
●      Call transaction code /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALR3 in your feeder system.
To configure job scheduling, choose Master Data ® Delta Management
Through Periodic Transfer Using Change Pointers ® Schedule Job.
●      The Job Wizard takes you through the process of scheduling a job step
by step, and prompts you to enter the information needed to schedule
your background job. This ensures you do not miss any important
information. The Job Wizard also displays useful information the data
you need to enter.
 
Make sure you set the ABAP Program Step indicator. Enter
program RBDMIDOC in the ABAP Program Name field and specify
the variant you just created in the Variant field. Also make sure you
schedule the job periodically.
 
C: Job Monitoring
●      To monitor background processing, choose Master Data ® Delta
Management Through Periodic Transfer Using Change
Pointers ® Monitor Job.
●      Enter the necessary selection criteria under Job Selection.
●      The system displays a log of all the jobs you selected, along with their
statuses.
