BAdIs to change the transfered data

General process

The add-on logic determines certain data based on the SAP business object and transforms it into the interface structure as expected by the Carrier Cloud API. It's possible to influence this logic and also change the determined data using the BAdIs listed below. Eventually a shipment is created in Carrier Cloud.

Technical process:

1. The data transfer is triggered for an SAP business object, e.g. outbound delivery.
2. Prior to the data determination the add-on runs through the BAdI intended for this step, method BEFORE_STD_FILLING
3. The add-on collects data based on the standard logic. This logic is depended on the configured rules and, if implemented, the changed parameters from step #2
4. After the data determination, the add-on runs through the BAdI intended for this step, method AFTER_STD_FILLING.
5. The Carrier Cloud API is called to send the determined data.
6. Carrier cloud creates a shipment based on the data and triggers further actions, e.g. label creation.

BEFORE_STD_FILLING - prior to data determination

These BAdIs will be run through prior to the determination of data. Deviating partner functions can be stored for the document partners. The actual determination process pulls the data from the newly assigned partner role.

Parameters:

IM_ORG_UNIT (organizational unit)
IM_CONTEXT_BC (data context of the SAP document)
CH_PARVW_CONSIGNEE (partner role for consignee)
CH_PARVW_CUSTOMSAGENT (partner role for customs agent)
CH_PARVW_COVERADDRESS (partner role for cover address)
CH_PARVW_NOTIFYADDRESS (partner role for notify address)
CH_PARVW_PAYEROFCHARG (partner role for freight payer)
CH_PARVW_PAYEROFDUT (partner role for payer of customs duties)
CH_PARVW_PICKUPADDRESS (partner role for the pickup address)
CH_PARVW_ALT_INV_RECIPIENT (partner role for invoice recipient)

AFTER_STD_FILLING - after data determination

These BAdIs will be run through at the end of the data determination process . All fields can be changed as required before the API for the data transfer is called.

Implementation example

Here is an implementation example for BAdI /AEB/PA_SHP_DLV_02 that assigns a value to the reference text with the reference type "Delivery note number":

METHOD /aeb/if_ex_pa_shp_dlv_02~after_std_filling.
  DATA:
    ref_text TYPE REF TO /aeb/if_pa_pb_dl_ref_text_do.

  ref_text = im_data_object_factory->new_pa_pb_dl_ref_text_do(
               im_type  = /aeb/if_pa_pb_dl_ref_text_do=>c_type_delnote_number
               im_value = '87600123' ).
  APPEND ref_text TO ch_shp_req_do-referencestexts.
ENDMETHOD.
