2 edi question

hi,
1) i have 2 programs which create idoc using master_idoc_distribute. what i not understand is that, for program 1, it checks edidc, if found the entry, checks against the nast entry. if no then insert and followed by submit rsnast00 whereas another program do not need to go through the nast checking and data update to edidc and edidd by this own program before calling the create idoc FM. why is that so?
2) for the first program, why check edidc first then only nast? at which point data updated in edidc and edidd?
thanks

Hi el,
Master_idoc_distribute FM is used to generate the idoc.Once the idoc is genereated then it will be stored in EDIDC and EDID4 tables.So first get the idoc number from EDIDC .thats why there is checking of EDIDC comes into picture.Then it is going for NAST table because may be the this idoc is used for distributing transactional data(message control method).Thats why the program is going for NAST table.If the idoc is not related to any transactional data then no need to go for NAST table.

EDI question...

Hi Guys,
I was aksed an question on EDI.
Can anyone help me out in that because I was unable to answer it ?
"What file format you using during EDI implementation ?"
Please throw some light on this issue.
Thanks.

Tushar.

Most of the EDI translator systems that work with SAP, actually do RFC calls to SAP to read and post IDOCs to the SAP system. There is no intermediate flat file in between in this method. But if you are using some translator that doesn't how to talk to SAP, then in that case, I guess you will send your IDOC to a file port to create a flat file.

Yes, they are the same. Most popular one out there is Gentran.

Basic (hopefully) EDI question

I'm very new to XI/PI and am trying to figure out XI's EDI capabilities. We're a small company and trying to decide if XI is the way to go (it's not installed at the moment).
We're trying to do 810 and 850 EDI transactions and there's no strong requirement on how that has to happen.
One consultant recommended I get a license for "EDI Engine for Consumer Products, the 'SAP XI Adapter for EDI'" Which he seemed to think SAP sold.
Another consultant said SAP XI Server didn't come with (or sell) an adapter and said I had to get a 3rd party tool like the SeeBerger EDI adapter or use something separate like Gentran..
Can someone untangle this for me? Is there an EDI adapter that comes with XI Server that would work?
Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee
SAP relies on a system of partners to provide adapters for other

What is the best place to ask EDI questions?

Hi all,
Should I ask them here (which forum/group) or some other site altogether??.
Thanks,
Charles.

Hi Charles,
You can ask to ABAP Development ->Data Transfers forum.
Is there any wrong if we ask the same question in two forums? You may get answers from both forums which might be helpful. I am not sure.
Thanks,

EDI Question (Count EDI Segements)

Hi,
I want to map the field D_96 under the EDI Segment SE and I was wandering if how to do that?
The description of the field is: Total number of segments included in transaction set.
So is there a way that I can load the result mapping in a Java function so that I can count the number of segments?
I know that I could add a counter (using user-defined function) for each segment that I'm writing but I was just wandering if there would be an easier way of doing it.
Rgds,
Yves

Hi Yves,
i don't think, that it is possible in a Java function within a message mapping, but you can do it by creating a java mapping from the result of the message mapping to the same structure. Then you can count the nodes and add just the value to D_96.
In your Interface mapping you will just need to add the additional java mapping after your message mapping.
Best regards
Christine

EDI with 3rd Party warehouse config question

I wasn't able to find a bettwr formum for an EDI question, and since most of them seemed to be posted to this forum, here I go....
I am trying to configure a 4.6 system to be able to exchange EDI documents to a third party warehouse. We want to send them a message to ship product and to receive a message confirming what they shipped. This will be related to outbound delivery documents in SAP.
I have setup a Logic System representing the warehouse, a new output condition to represent the outbound notification to ship product and the partner profile for the Logical System.
When I try to create the output for the delivery (I entered Output: LD03, Medium: 6, Part Func: LS, Partner: WHSE3RD and Language EN) I get the
error message: "You cannot enter a partner function for output LD03" (VN041).
f I don't enter the partner function, it gives me the message "Partner function does not exist in table TPAR" (VN046).
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thanks, Rick

Hi Richard,
Have you setup LS Partner Profile (t/code WE20) for WHSE3RD, distribution model (t/code BD64) and record condition for output type (t/code NACE)?

Concept Question about EDI and Error Processing

Hello All,
This is a concept question, I was wondering how others would approach this scenario.
Let's take this scenario. In EDI often the transmission for a purchase order comes in with an invalid material number. Normal error processing is for the EDI team to research the issue (find the correct matnr), edit the idoc and reprocess the Idoc. I would like to move that type of error processing out of the hands of the EDI folks and into the hands of the business users.
How would they correct the material number? It has to be more intuitive than editing an IDoc, it has to be an easy and intuitive user interface. This process has to also work for many types of EDI transmissions both inbound and outbound.
There would be many ways to handle this: create a report with an editable grid that would change the idoc during input and create the order with the corrections, convert the idoc to xml and use simple transformations, use an xsl report...etc. You get the point.
How would you approach this? Before I start the design I want to make sure I've given all the options due consideration...all options, webdynpro, transformations, regex, you name it...all is available, except there is no XI.
Personally I'm leaning towards an editable grid and processing buttons that would post the idoc in background...but I do that type of thing all the time and I may be in a rut and neglecting better design options.
Thanks for your input,
Greg

Paul: So it runs the transaction silently in BDC format, until the error occurs, then opens up in dialogue to allow the user to change the invalid material, and then continue on with processing.
This works when the processing function module uses BDC. But even then I think this is possibly nice from user perspective, but a nightmare from auditing perspective. I.e. correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's no log indicating that the user changed the material number. Thus for anybody comparing the IDoc contents against the posted document (including change history) there's no trail that shows this change. Of course you can assume that this is what must have happened, but I personally prefer if I can track in the system what happened and have proof for that.
Reddy:
<ol>
<li>it can be run daily basis, which should select all idocs which are in status 51 with message number (..related to wrong material number). report output should inlcude :idoc number-wrong mat no- space for new material to be entered by business against wrong 1. And there should be one button for RUN.</li>
<li>After RUN, the material number should be changed to new 1 in segments and idocs should be reprocessed.</li>
<li>repeat the run until business enter right mat num.</li>
</ol>
Design seems to limited to me (takes care only of one error message). Might work if that's the main pain point and this is the only one the user is dealing with. Otherwise I'd expect pretty soon they start complaining about having to use different tools for the possible errors. I'd keep the report more general, but allow this special form of processing only for a given error message (otherwise it's a normal re-process as triggered for example via BD87).
Also, I assume that when you talk of changing the IDoc you mean that you actually keep an original copy around (like SAP does when you edit an IDoc). Often this is required from an auditing perspective. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to check the material number before trying to process the IDoc to avoid wasting system resources (but maybe I misunderstood the step).
Anyhow, in theory you could also achieve all of this via workflow. You can add custom columns to the work item overview in the inbox, only issue here is that it doesn't scale well (so issues with larger volumes).

EDI - IDOC mapping question

Dear Experts,
For transformations between EDI and basic IDOC types, are there any off-the shelf (ready to use) options? If yes what are they? If not, what is the easiest way of mapping in between these structures?
Our setup involves Seeburger's AS2 adapter.
Thanks

Hi Aamir,
Thank you for your response.
We are working in an environment where we do not have any control over the setup. So I have a few follow up questions, answers to which would help me immensely.
1. I saw that there are a"few" mappings available for which both the EDI and IDOC versions differ from what we need. So, is there anyway to get an actual listing of all supplied mappings?
2. In case you have worked for a similar scenario, is it possible for you to share a sample mapping spreadsheet ?
Thank you,
N

Hi Mohit,
For one of my client what we used to do use RoleLink and party for dynamic resolution of the part and send the message.
So we
Receive a message, this message will have ID which resolves the source
Map it to canonical schema.
Have a orchestration process mapped canonical schema
Have a code in orchestration to resolve the destination, using Party
Have RoleLink, connect the RoleLink to send shape.
Configure the Party details with qualifiers to resolve destination details.
Configure the send out to the party
In the send port have outbound map specific to the destination system. In this map you can have maps for EDI.
So when the new party comes in, just create Map, create send port configure it with outboundmap, and the Party with send port.
So coming to project structure.
External schemas-Inbound
Canonical schema
Maps
Orchestration which Common-Orchestration which will have Role-Link
External schemas-Inbound
When the new party comes-in, you can create a new project/assembly for their map (and new project if the outbound schema change).
Obviously you can have many solution, choose the one which fits you better.

EDI 835 Question

If you have used EDI 835 (Incoming Customer Payment Advice for Pharmacy), can you please let me know the IDOC type you have used?

Check out REMADV with basic type PEXR2002. It posts a Payment Advice to SAP for clearing by AR.
The key question to ask yourself is what am I trying to post in SAP? If it's a Payment Advice, this should do it. If there's any data in the 835 that can't fit into PEXR2002 but it's still going into the Payment Advice in SAP, you can always customize the IDoc, as long as there's a place for that data in the SAP document.

AS2 Adapter EDI scenario - question

I am working on a EDI scenario, involving AS2 adapter.
Could anyone tell me any steps to be done on ABAP engine.
reg

Hi Naveen,
follow the below steps:
1) First deploye the Std seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI
2) If you are using the AS2 adapter then you have to install the AS2 server on XI server.
3) Once you install the std seeburger on SAP XI server you will see the AS2,X400,OFTPS,VAN adapter on XI ID.
5) You need to call the std mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI.
steps in IR and ID.
In IR:
You need to use the Standard XSD provided by Seeburger for different mesages like EDFACT ORDERS D96A etc in IR and other steps are similar which we do for the normal scenarios.
In ID:
This is the scenario for AS2
Seeburger has provided std mapping which need to be deployed on Xi server and will be used in XI adapter module tab for EDI-XML and XML-EDi conversion.
Example of mapping:
See_E2X_INVOIC_UN_D96A
See_E2X_INVOIC_UN_D99A
See_E2X_ORDERS_UN_D96A
See_E2X_OSTRPT_EAN_D96A.
1) After deploying mapping program.
We need to give the AS2ID in the party identifier tab,AS2ID that is entered here will be used for identifying the sender and receiver of the document.
1)The value of the Agency field must be Seeburger.
2)The value of the Schema field must be AS2ID.
Every partner is assigned the WAN no which is provided by the WAN service provider. That WAn no we need to configure in the party identifier tab
Configuration in adapter:
Under the party identifiere tab
Agency will be seeburger
Scheme=AS2ID
Name = WAN network no of the partner who is sending the file
Sender AS2 adapter configuration:
Few changes in the module parameter tab.
localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean bic
CallSapAdapter 0
Module configuration:
bic= destSourceMsg = MainDocument
bic= destTargetMsg = MainDocument
bic= mappingName= See_E2X_EDIFACT_ORDERS_UN_D93A which does the conversion of EDI-XML.
Receiver AS2 adapter configuration:
When the adapter is used in a receiver channel, it obtains a message from the Integration Engine and sends it to a business partner. In this case, the following steps are required:
1. Define the channel as a Receiver channel on the Parameters tab
2. The last step ensures the module sequence is complete:
Make sure the module ModuleProcessorExitBean does exist in the module sequence:
Module Name=localejbs/ModuleProcessorExitBean
Type=L
Module Key=Exit
with the following module parameter:
Module Key=Exit
Parameter Name=JNDIName
Parameter Value=deployedAdapters/SeeXIAS2/shareable/SeeXIAS2
You can refer my thread reply:
Re: Pls.. Help Needed.. Seeburger Mapping Names..!!
Re: Seeburger AS2 adapter...
Re: AS2 Module tab.. Mapping Names for modified Standard Msg types ? ? BIC ??
AS2 adpater-- Configuration details for both SND and RCV.
AS2 Sender Adapter -- Need few details.
EDI-SEEberger-XI-IDOc-R/3
flow of the data from EDi to SAp r/3 using seeburger:
1) Data will be coming thorugh WAN or mailbox.
2) If its coming through WAN then every WAN provider will give the partner which is sending the data a partner number for indentification.
3) In your AS2 channel you need to configure the party and for that party you need to give the WAN number which is proivded for that partner. So it will run that configuration whenever that partner send the data.
4) In the adapter you have to give the mapping program name which does the conversion of EDI-XML and XML-EDI.
5) Once you XML is generated then it will be used in MM
6) At the receiver if its IDOC adapter then IDOC adapter will post the IDOC to R3 system.
Thnx

EDI mapping questions

Dear SAP Friends,
My client has planned to develop a program to convert SAP payment run data (F110 for Checks only) to EDI 820 format.
I have some points to know the information about EDI 820 format for the following segments to map them to SAP tables and fields.
I didn't' find the fields to map these segments in tables PAYR, REGUH, REGUP which are used while payment run.
BPR10 - Originating Company Id - (Tax ID code preceded by a 1 to be assigned by your implementation manager)
What exactly this ID means and where to find in above tables or is there any other way for this to be mapped?
REF02 - Corp Id - Populate with signature ID number to be assigned by Bank.
Where to find the table and field for this in SAP and where to map in the which table, to get it automatically populate in F110 run.
REF02 - PC Id - The following list contains the delivery options available: US US Mail / FX Federal Express / UP UPS / AI - Airborne.
Is this the way to deliver the checks for payments from the bank. How to map this too.
My client does not want to hardcode anything because to use this program for some other company codes as well.
I will really appreciate your responses.
Thanks and Regards,
Paul

Hi,
>>I searched a lot about the configuration details of the Seeburger adapters like AS2 and SFTP but could not find anything good,can you please provide me the same
When you purchase the third party adapter from seeburger you'll get configuration guide which will giv you the clear idea of cofiguring.
>>where and how to use AS2 and SFTP?What is VAN?Is it an alternative to AS2 or SFTP
The AS2 protocol is internally based on HTTP.AS2 uses two different message types: the actual payload message and the Message Disposition Notification (MDN). The payload message encapsulates an EDI file so that it can be transmitted via HTTP. The purpose of the MDN is to acknowledge the receipt of a payload message.
