Creating Idocs from change pointers on material masters

[kumaro]

Dear all,

We have a lot of Idocs that are processed from change pointers on material master ...
My predecessor programmed the creation of Idocs, but he always told that it was impossible to stop the creation of Idocs depending on the value of the material master (for example material status) ... To me, it seems not realistic that we are not able to avoid creation of Idocs if the material has a specific status ...
Can anyone help me with a solution to only create Idocs from change pointers on material master if the material has a status that allows creation of Idocs ?
Thanks in advance !

Greetz,
Kurt.

The easiest way would be to use a filter in BD64, the depending on the values the IDoc will or won't be send to the partner - it would work well mostly for condition on the root segment E1MARAM, though, if you want to filter out all the IDoc.
The harder way would be to code your own function module to process the change pointers and set it in BD60 for your message.
