Questions
01A change request approved by finance never reached the receiving ECC system. How do you investigate?+
First confirm the CR is really activated: final status, data in the active area. Then check whether DRF selected it: run DRFOUT for that BP with the replication model and read DRFLOG. If DRF created a message, follow it to WE02 (IDoc) or SRT_MONI (SOAP) and read the status. Common causes are a DRF filter excluding the business system, missing key mapping, or a value mapping error rejected by the receiver.
- Activation first
- DRF filters and replication model
- IDoc / SOAP monitor
- Key and value mapping
02Where would you place a validation that blocks a supplier when it has open purchase orders?+
BRFplus can't easily read transactional purchasing data, so this belongs in a BAdI validation. Read open POs through a released CDS view, raise an error message with the PO count, and keep the logic fast enough for mass changes.
- BRFplus for field rules
- BAdI for cross-object reads
- Released CDS views
- Clear message to requester
03How would you use AI to speed up duplicate detection for business partners without risking wrong merges?+
Keep deterministic rules for tax IDs, add fuzzy and embedding similarity for names and addresses inside blocks, and have an LLM write a short explanation per candidate pair. Stewards approve merges through MDG consolidation or change requests, and acceptance rate is tracked to tune thresholds.
- Blocking + scoring
- Embeddings for names
- LLM explanation
- Steward approval
- Acceptance rate
