Hi all,
This is not a question but just a general topic regarding the points to bear in mind while implementing DBM solution.
The latest release of DBM -ECC-DIMP 6.0 does not have the credit check functionality for sales order/delivery/PGI as is available on the standard R/3. This means that if the credit check functionality is required by the organisation then this will have to be developed on your own.
In case there are lots of validations which you require in you require in the business process then this would have to be build in various BADI which have been provided. Since the DBM is based on the action control matrix ( Order control engine) please take care while configuring the action control. This is a very sensitive area and one wrong configuration will stop the process which you may have tested as working fine.
Supersession is a good functionality which has been provided as standard feature on DBM but this works fine on DBM orders. In case you require this in R/3 quotations and orders ( VA21 /VA01) then some tweaking on the item category determination and item category configuration may be required.
Vendor material master table (/DBM/OMARA) is also a good feature since this helps do away with your own custom tables for maintaining the vendor material master data within your own system.
Cash desk is also another feature which is a new DBM feature but this is still not stable and it requires the system adminstrator some time to understand the correct behavior of this feature.
Enjoy the new DBM and also help SAP to stabilize this product since there are quite number of things which are not yet mature enough to take care of all the possible business situations all around the world.
Cheers.
