EDIFACT FINSTA messages conversion to FINSTA IDOC

I am a functional Treasury consultant and have found that on my current project a European bank is ready to provide EDIFACT FINSTA messages for Bank Statement reporting, rather than just flat files.
I have compared the messages to the SAP FINSTA IDOC and have seen how large a job it will be to convert from the EDIFACT messages to the IDOC.
I believe that people have worked on this before me and there must be some place that I can get information to help in the conversion.
I have spoken to an XI consultant here in North America who says that he knows of no place to obtain the information as he has never worked with EDIFACT.
Someone must be able to point me in the right direction either having knowledge of a location where I can obtain either a template for the conversion or documentation on how to do it.
I have not been able to find documentation that is anywhere complete. I am working in ECC 5.0 and I have seen in sample IDOC's that SAP's test programs RFEBKAT4 produces that, for example, there are many more Qualifiers than are described in the online documentation of the IDOC's.
Can anyone point me in a proper direction for further investigation.
Thanks - Ivor

Hi, we have already worked with this IDOC but there is not enough documentation about it.
I send you some links that can help you.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e4/52ec78bfff11d295f400a0c9426c73/frameset.htm
This link contains more detailed documentation about the idoc but it is not of SAP, so there are some diferences
http://www.unece.org/trade/untdid/d05a/trmd/finsta_c.htm
I have one more document in the PDF, post me your mail in order to send it.
This is all the documentation that we have and we have to tunning the fields making some test and seeing what happening in R/3.
Best Regards

Error Message: Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.

Hi Experts,
i strugle with a File 2 IDOC Scenario.
In the sender communication channel monitoring I get the error message:
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
Unfortunately I am not getting any further information and I do not know where the file-adapters problem is.
Tthe .fieldSeparator = # . Can this be the problem, that the file-adapter-engine can not handle # within file conversion? I also tried it with .fieldSeparator = '#' . But the error message is the same.
I am glad for any hints.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Regards,
Udo

Hi Udo,
The error is due to wrong intput.
putting # might be a reson.
You Can try (,) or a space as a field separater.
Can you test this once.
Have to defined the field separated?

Cannot view SMS Message Conversation History

Hello,
I have a Blackberry Curve 8310. When I first got the phone, my SMS text message conversation history would be saved automatically. Basically, I could look at any message and see all the prior messages below it (Messages that I sent and received).
Now, I can no longer see the messages that I sent in the history, only the ones that I received. I changed my theme a couple of times, but I have put it back to the original theme, and it still does not save any message that I send. My current theme is BB Dimension Icon.
I have looked around in the options menus, and below are my settings for two relevant options:
Options -> SMS Text -> Number of Previous Items -> 20
Message Options -> General Options -> Hide Sent Messages -> No
I tried calling blackberry customer service, but they charge you apparently.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

My suggestion would be to do a battery pull remove the battery while the phone is on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot. Then get a friend and converse for a bit. Is it saving it now?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?
My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card. I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it. Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
If not, any suggestions on backup apps? I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...). Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
Thanks!
Rich

How can I print off a text message conversation?

I have to print off a text message conversation and I was wondering if there is any other way to print them off instead of using screen shots?

An alternate utility you may want to look into is DigiDNA's Disk Aid. You install it on a computer, Mac or PC, connect you phone to it and are able to back up everything on the phone and have access to all the stuff in there. Not free but really worth every penny. Free if you work or study in higher ed.

HOw can I printout a message conversation? I need a legal copy of one.

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Unable to view MMS in message conversations. Do they expire?

+iPhone 3GS 16GB running Firmware 3.1.2 on O2 UK. (5GB+ Free Space)+
*I am unable to view older MMS on my iPhone.*
Earlier in the week a friend sent me some MMS, but since then has text everyday, when I scroll to the top of conversation to view the MMS I am unable to view them. One MMS I can see the small preview and the blue arrow which lets you view in full screen, however this does not work. I also cant copy or forward the preview. Where there are meant to be other MMS, all I can see is the blue arrow yet again it does not workn and no preview.
In another conversation from a month ago, the most recent message is an MMS which does work, but in the same conversation I am having the same issues with older MMS.
Actions Taken:
Restarted iPhone, this did not solve the issue.
Deleted all message conversations apart from one, but deleted all texts and kept two MMS, this did not solve the issue.
Restarted iPhone again, this did not solve the issue.
Did a full restore on iPhone to bring back all message converstations that were deleted, still did not solve the issue.
I would say the MMS files is still there somewhere, but how can I get to them?

I have checked through other message conversations, one does have MMS and I am able to view in full screen, I checked the others again and when I click the blue arrow for full screen, it just shows the most recent picture in my photo album.
What is the problem here, everything worked fine when I first got them, why not now?

Mapping every record in a given message type to an IDoc

Hi all,
As per the requirement, I have a message type which stores a number of records from the database. The root node of the message type repeats as many times as the number of records. I need to map this message type to an IDoc with an IDoc created for each record. However, the pre-defined structure of IDoc has the root node occuring only once. Can the mapping of every record to an IDoc be acheived by using Message tab of the message mapping to have the IDoc occurence as 0..unbounded?
Thanks,
Amit

Hi,
In message mapping Change the occurence of the IDOC as 0 to unbounded in the Target message inside Messages Tab.
Also change the occurrence of IDOC in the Interface mapping as 0 to unbounded.
Thanks,
Tiny

How do I delete part of a message conversation?

I have to reboot my iPhone 5 to get the trash can to appear when I am trying to delete a part of a message conversation. Is there another way to delete part of a conversation? Using IOS 8.2.
Thanks!

If you do Get Info for the song - then (in Options tab, I think) amend the Start Time of the track so it's the point where the music starts. iTunes will permanently 'remember' your change.

Convert pdf to word error message "conversion failure", where can I find out more info why conversion failed?

I tried each of the available exportformats: .doc, .docx, .xls, .rtf. None of them worked, which only the message "conversion failure".

Hi bergmanc,
It sounds like there may be an issue with the file that you're trying to convert. Have you tried to convert other files? If so, are they converting without error?
Please tell me a little more about the file that you're trying to convert. For example, what is its file size, how many pages does it have, are there lots of graphics, or a mix of fonts? If the file is complex, it may be that the ExportPDF service is timing out before it can complete the conversion process. It also possible, that the PDF may not be written properly, if t was created by a third-party appellation.
You can simplify the conversion process by disabling OCR as described here: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community (but this solution isn't optimal if the PDF was created from a scanned document.)
Please let us know a bit more about your file, and we'll see what we can figure out.
Best,
Sara

Posting goods issue using Message type SHPCON and idoc type DELVRY03

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am using message type SHPCON and idoc type DELVRY01 with processing code DELV to post goods issue for a delivery note.
I tried to simulate the inbound entry via WE19. The scenario should be posting goods issue based on the delivery order.
In some cases, quantity issued is less than the quantity in the DO. For this, I need to change the delv quantity in the DO via VL02N before I select Post goods issue button. This will change at the same time post the goods issue.
What I have filled up are the fields:
E1EDL20-VBELN = DO num
E1EDL20-VSTEL = Plant
E1EDL18-QUALF = "PGI"
E1EDTH13-QUALF = "006"
E1EDTH13-NTANF = date today
E1EDL24-POSNR = 000010
E1EDL24-MATNR = material num
E1EDL24-WERKS = delv plant
E1EDL24-LGORT = sloc
E1EDL24-LFIMG = updated quantity
But everytime I simulate using WE19, the entire quantity in the DO is not changed at all. The goods issue quantity posted is still the original DO quantity.
May I know how to do this? Thanks.

Put value in E1EDL24-LGMNG for qty to pgi.

Message Types in an IDOC Type

How I can identify the various message types that are been plugged in an IDOC Type? What will be the Transaction Used to identify that? I used the Transaction WE30, but I see the various segments that are been attached to the IDOC type and Not at the Message Type level. I used the IDOC type ORDERS02.
SAP uses a single IDOC type for several logically related messages. For example, the Orders IDOC type (ORDERS02) is used for several messages, such as Order (ORDERS), Order Response (ORDRSP), and Order Change (ORDCHG).
Create Message Type                          WE81
Create IDOC Type                                WE30
Assign Message Type to IDOC Type      WE82
Can some one please help me? Appreciated.
,J

You can check this in the table EDIMSG.
Alternatively you can check this in WE82 as well:
WE82 --> Menu func. 'Selection' --> By Contents --> Select "By Contents" --> I/P your basic type & select "choose"
This will give you the list of the basic types associated with the message types.
