Process Inbound IDOCs From PI using serialization

Sometime back we discussed about how we can process IDOCs using serialization in SAP. Click here to read it. 
There are business requirements where you need to process multiple IDOC message types in a serialized manner using PI immediately without a scheduled batch job. i.e. Customer master with address master (DEBMAS with ADRMAS) Vendor master with address master (CREMAS with ADRMAS) Info record master with vendor master & material master (INFREC with MATMAS and CREMAS) In order to process these IDOC’s successfully, you must process then in a sequence. It is not necessary IDOCs to be for master data distribution, you can serialize any message type.

Dual Control in Vendor Master

SAP provides dual control functionality to control and securely manage changes made to sensitive fields in Vendor and Customer master data records.
Once this functionality is activated changes made by one user role, needs to be confirmed/authorized by another user role for the change to take effect. Till then the changes remain visible but the account will be blocked for transactions such as payment runs etc. This facilitates tight control over unauthorized modifications to vendor and customer master fields.In this document we will discuss the configuration that needs to be in place for activating dual control for vendor master fields, keeping in mind that similar functionality is available for customer master as well.
