Config Hub - Pop up warning if Customer/Support/Dev Team updating the Codelist values in CTE to PROD for the variant type Codelist

We are using the Codelist Solution for below scenarios and if anyone inserted the wrong data due to confusion or manual error it will effect the lot of transactions failing or due to data missing in output files.

Below are the scenarios:

  1. We are using the Codelist Solution for GIODE BPN rules optimization in order to reduce the number of rules for sending the multiple Partners data to Customer and vice versa.

  2. Producing default IDOC values like sold-to or Partner reference or Items list things through Codelist during the Map translation.

As we are with Config Hub Codelist Solution and we are differentiating the CTE vs PROD Codelist as variant one and which means CTE data different from PROD Codelist but the Codelist name is same.

In such cases by mistake if we update the CTE values to PROD and there are many transactions will fail or with missing data sent to end parties by realizing the issue caused due to the CTE value which updated in PROD.


If we have a feature like validating the PROD entry against the CTE if it's matches alerting the user like "The value you are entering matching with the CTE entry, please cross validate"



What is your industry? Other
How will this idea be used?


Use Case 1:

From the past experience, we see one user updated the CTE SFTP relationship details under PROD codelist that caused multiple transactions stuck in processing status as it will not find the relationship in PROD System.

It's impacted the Customer business a lot.

Use Case 2:

Customer seeing the CTE data for the file which they received in PROD and as this is not appropriate we have to restart the all the data from the Codelist update in order to process the files to the Custome with proper PROD details in it.


Use Case 3:

BPN rule not found issues, we are using the Codelist Macro in rule conditions and against the some predefined static value and based on that flow will be identified and routed to the correct flow in order to process the docs to respective party as expected.

If Codelist having the CTE data in PROD rules will not match and end up with data stuck in our side.


like this many issues we may face if we not have proper validation in place for Variant codelist for CTE vs PROD.
