Process Codes - IDoc

Could someone give me a brief explanation about IDoc Process Codes in the Partner Profiles.
What is its Purpose, Impact etc...
Also and most importantly, how do we distinguish which one to use for which IDoc? Who's responsibility is it to find this information, the Business or the XI team?

>
> Then why the need for any other process code ????
Normally customizations in the processing of the Idoc is needed for clients. In these cases you write the report and then create a trsnmaction code ( think the t code is we 41 / 42 not sure though) and then use this in Partner Profile.
Have also seen cases when BAPI has been used. My understanding was that BAPI is used when a similar RFC exists .
Eg: BANK_CREATE Idoc has a similar BAPI called BAPI_BANK_CREATE and I remember us using BAPI for the inbound processing!
Am not a functional person at all, but just what I have understood of things.
Maybe Barry can validate it for me as well.

Process Code - Idocs

Hi all!
    In Outbound parameters of partner profile we r mentioning the process code.
   Can u pls tell me why? i feel bcoz..... suppose we r purchasing from vendor in outbound parameters i am mentioning the process code.
Now in the inbound processing of the vendor the vendor will access our process code via RFC to generate Idoc and Vice Versa.
   Pls Tell me i am right or wrong.
Looking for your reply very eagarly.
Thanks
Rahul.

Rahul,
Process codes are used in both Outbound & Inbound processing.
Outbound: The main purpose of the process code is, there is an FM which is attached behind the process code and that FM will populate all the segments with the necessary data.
For example: I have an Sales order and I need to send an order confirmation. So you define your partner profiles in WE20, provide the necessary message type and double click on that you can see the message control and your output type, process code ..etc
Similarly is the case with Inbound, say you receive an Idoc from another system and the same data needs to be posted into your system, then you do the similar setting for Partner profiles, but in case of Inbound, you will not have any Message control, but an process code is directly defined here. There is an FM which is tied to this process code and the data is posted based on the FM.
Hope it is clear.
Thanks,

With the Z process code IDOC going to status 64

Hello Everyone,
I have created the Z process code for a custom function module via finishing the steps in BD51, WE57 and WE42.
But when I used this Z process code in my inbound idoc, my IDOC are going to the status 64.
Any inputs please?
Thanks,
Pooja

Hi,
Which FM you are calling to post the IDOCs? If you are using IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB or IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS IDOCs will be posted in 64 status ONLY.
Please call "IDOC_WRITE_START_INBOUND" to post the IDOCs immediately.

Custom Process Code - IDOCS

Hi Guys!
   This Question is similar to my previous post i want to know whats the reason, when we go for custom process code development for standard idocs & message types, any way sap has provided that.
Is there any nessacary to devlop that, any way we want to develop, whats the real reason.
Can u give details.
Second, when we develop our custom process code we give our z development class name & transport request is there any other objects of ALE we store in them & transport the same.
Thanks.

Hi Rahul,
     A. The segments which i have used are listed below.
EDI_Z50               EDI IDOC, invoice header, standard data
        EDI_Z3                 EDI IDoc type: purchase orders etc.: header, partner info
        <b>ZEDI_Z51          EDI IDOC, invoice line items, standard data               </b>
        EDI_Z55                EDI IDoc type: totals, conditions
        EDI_Z52                EDI IDOC, invoice totals, standard data
        EDI_Z53                EDI IDOC, invoice totals, taxes
The bolded one is the customised segment, as i have mentioned early,in which we have used Additional fields for debit and credit memo.
B. You mean, you need the coding of the functional module.
C. Regarding process code, you can just, link your FM to Process code in we42 for Inbound .
Enhancements in the sense, extended the exsisting IDoc and related information?
You can mail me on [email protected] I can send you an document for that.
Thanks

AIB_IDOC_CREATE Process Code IDoc PORDCH02

Hi all,
I am trying to send a purchase order changes by IDoc PORDCH02 and I have the following error: "IDoc type PORDCH02 cannot be processed by AIB_IDOC_CREATE".
Please could you tell me which Process Code that it can be used?
Thanks in advance,
Marta

Hi ,
Look for the userexit where you get the list of segments and you can find out at which place you have insert or add the segment .
Then after finding the exit ,create a Z inlcude add your code there and Include the Z include in the exit or you can also use Enhancement Point ( if ECC 6.0 ).
Please reward if useful.

Doubt in IDOC Regarding Process codes

Please check the link
http://idocs.de/www5/books/IDocBook/cook_A5.pdf
In page no: 32 (Topic: 8.5 Assigning a processing function ) ,FM is assigned directly to Message type and Idoc type combination.
But in the next page, Process code is created for that FM and Asigned that process code to message type and Idoc type combination.
What's the differece.
Another thing is in which transaction we assign Process codes to Message type and Idoc type Combinations
Above tutorial looks like old version. In my system Transactions are looking different ,than they are in Tutorial. I am working in version 5.0. If possible, Please provide me perfect material.

Hi
Process code always points to a Function module
Means it calls the fun module
In We41/42 you creata process code and assigns to a Message type
so means that Process Code, Idoc Type and Message type are interlinked
Even you can check in WE20 partner profile
in the Outbound
double click on the Message type and press message control , it shows the process code attached
and double click on the process code it shows the fun module attached to it.
Reward points if useful

XI-- IDOC scenario, how to link process code with function module

Hi Forum,
I have a XI--->IDOC (R/3) scenario,
where i m creating a IDOC in XI and sending it to R/3,
i have done all settings to send the IDOC from XI to the R/3,
i also have the function module to process that IDOC in R/3,
the problem is:
I want to know in details (step by step) how to make a Idoc Inbound process code, link it with the function module and use the process code in the Partner Profile in R/3,
pls help

HI,
FOr this u need to go to transaction WE41 for inbound and WE40 for outbound there u assign the function module.
Now u go to WE20 transaction for partner profile and u can assign the proces code to the inbound message.
Go to the below help for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/72/c18ee5546a11d182cc0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Message type, Idoc type and process code in ALE/Idoc

Each Idoc version(creams01 or cremas03) will have seperate process codes in Inbound process?
Whether Message type triggers the process code or the Idoctype/idoc triggers the process code in Inbound process?
regards
Message was edited by: henry

Hi Henry,
About your question as how should you assign seperate process code for the same message type ( with different IDoc Type )-
In We42, the message type can be assigned to the processing code. But here you will find that along with message type there are two more fields - Message Code & Message Function.
You can use any one these to serve your purpose.
e.g. you can assign
-process code P1 to message type M with Message code 1
-process code P2 to message type M with Message code 2
Further these process types can be configured to call separate FMs.
Now depending on IDOC types your external system should populate the message type as well as Message code so that accordingly process code will be determined at the time of inbound processing.
I hope it's clear & correct
Thanks,
Ram

What is a process code in ale idoc

what is a process code in ale idoc,what is the purpose of Process code.

Hi,
     Let me tell some scenario then u would be able to understand what a process code is-------
In ALE ie, the data requested system is receiver and the data already presented system is sender ie, from where we are having the data,
here in sender side----
       we need a program to tranfer required data into idoc--( idoc is just a data container )    in sender side this program logic is in a function module it is configured in we41.
         ie this will transfer the data from database to idoc----in sender side it is a process code
and in receiver side after receiving the data we have to post it in database again program needed it is also ie the required code is also in function module it is configured in we42
it is about receiver side f.m or simply process code
okkkkkkkkkkkk

Custom process code and FM for custom IDoc...

Hello Experts,
I created a custom IDoc based from ARTMAS05 IDoc. This is because we only need 3 segments and
the standard idoc(Artmas05) contains so many segments that we need.
Now, will I create a custom process code and FM for this? how do I go about this?
Thank you guys and take care!

Hello,
Here are the Steps that we need to be following while creating a Custom Process Code with Custom Function Module. ( Since the Segments to be handled are very Less, I am recommending that you go for a Custom Function Module).
1. Go to SE37 Create a Function Module. Please ensure to Create it with the IMPORT / EXPORT /TABLES parameters exactly in the way that they exist in any Standard SAP Inbound FM (Refer to IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS for example).
2. Once our FM is Ready (Need not be Complete with the Code to go ahead with the Process Code Creation) and Active, the next Step is to Create an Entry in the Transaction Code BD51 where we will register the Function Module.
3. Next, we'll have to go to T-Code WE57 where we'll have to make an entry for the Function Module with the IDoc Type & Message Type.
4. Finally, go to WE42 and Create a New Process Code and assign the Function Module and the Message Type.
NOTE 1 : The Process Code is, as we know, Client Dependent. So, once you create a Process Code, we need to have it migrated to the Testing Environment to Start & Carry Out Testing.
NOTE 2: If Step 2 & 3 are missing, then we'll not be able to assign the Function Module in WE42 while Creating Process Code.
Hope it was helpful.
Thanks and Regards,

IDOCs - Simple doubt in INBOUND DELVRY. IDOC-DELVRY03, Process code isDELV?

Hello Experts,
Our SAP system receives the Inbound IDOC for Delivery from Gentran.
Further details are,
Process code: DELV
IDOC type: DELVRY03
Message type: SHPCON
Message code: TOC
Parther profile: Account # of Ship To party
So, my requirement is that,
If this Inbound Delivery IDOC contans the Message Code as TOC, I need to insert/add my logic
so, let me know that,
1) Request u that, let me know How to go ahead, becoz am new IDOCs, like, Is I need to look for the any Usre Exit? I mean, At Wht point I need to add my code in this whole process?
thank you
Edited by: Srinivas on Jun 29, 2008 11:15 PM

Hi Srinivas,
Use the below user exit for creating a STO order.
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
       EXPORTING
            IDOC_CONTROL        = IDOC_CONTRL
            IDOC_DATA           = IDOC_DATA[]
            DELIVERY_HEAD       = S_KOKO
            DELIVERY_ITEM       = T_KOPO[]
            PACKING_HEAD        = T_VSEK[]
            PACKING_ITEM        = T_VSEP[]
            PROCESSING_STATUS   = F_STAT
       IMPORTING
            WARNING_IGNORE      = F_FLAG
       CHANGING
            PROCESSING_PROTOCOL = T_PROT[]
       EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS              = 0.
Because by the time you get to this point, the delivery document is created. I believe you need to create the STO order only once the delivery document is created.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

PO Rejection - ORDSP Idoc Errors in ECC with different process codes

Hi All,
We were testing the Scenario where the Supplier rejects a PO line item as part of the PO Collaboration. On rejecting the PO in SNC, it trigerred an ROC XML with AcceptanceStatusCode == RE. The same was passed on from XML to Idoc in the IDoc segment E1EDP01, field ACTION = "003".
However, such ORDSP Idocs was failing on the ECC side during Inbound processing with the following errors:
1. Acknowledgment for PO item 4400000XXX 00010 contains quantity variance: Message no. ME794
2. Price unit 0 from IDoc differs from unit of purchase order 1: Message no. ME729
3. Order price unit differs from unit EA from purchase order: Message no. ME728
4. Order units differ : Message no. ME791
5. Material number differs from that of ordered material : Message no. ME790
Note : We dont get these errors for a normal confirmation. It happens only with Rejection.
The deletion indciator could not be set in the ECC PO line item even after manually correcting the above errors in the Idoc and posting it.
Then based on this SDN Post: [PO rejection in SNC does not update the items in MM with ORDRSP;, we changed the WE20 settings. i.e., for ORDSP Idoc changed the Process code from ORDR to ORDR_SUS. After this change, the the above errors were eliminated and the the rejection data was also updated on the ECC PO by setting a deletion indicator. But we are having the following issues:
1. Though both the confirmation & rejection data are getting transferred successfully, the Idocs remain in status 52 (Application document not fully posted).
2. The message in the status record is "Rejection of PO item 4400000XXX 00010 with reason: Message no. ME749
3. Came across these 2 related SAP Notes:
a. #1087422 : But this is not applicable as the note states that this error will occur only if we delete the PO line item before hand in ECC.
b. # 66192 : This note suggets a custom solution. But actually all the info from the ORDSP Idoc are getting processed successfully (Rejection & Confirmation send in the same Idoc). Only the status of the Idoc (Status = 52) is concerning us.
Looking forward for inputs / suggetions from those who have used the Rejection functionality in SNC without custom development.
Regards,
Bharath

Hi Bharath
Rejections is handled like that only, can you please check whether note 1529579 is helpful
It is standard behavior, as it expects other segments to fill, but never the less the PO will be updated properly, its only problem
with the status of the idoc....nothing wrong in the data updation. The above note should be handy.

Vinod
