About ale/idocs

hello experts..
1..can u tell me what is idoc tables..
2.. ale what is message functions..what is functionalty of message functions..
and where u can find message function and tell me which tr.code

Hi,
The message function is an optional parameter. If several IDoc types belong to the same message type, the unique assignments can be ensured via the message code and message function. Alternatively, the inbound processing type for IDocs from a certain partner can be defined differently via the fields for message type, message code and message function.
You can specify the message function when you create an inbound or an outbound partner profile (WE20). The table is EDIDC and field is MESFCT.

About ALE,Idoc, EDI

sir,
what is the purpose of ALE,Idoc and EDI, what is the difference and how they will useful for sap
suggest me

Hi
can anyone send me the good links for EDI concepts.explain me a bit about the creation process .
EDI is described as the interchange of structured data according to agreed message standards between computer systems, by electronic means. Structured data equates to a simple and direct method of presenting the data content of a document. The method of ensuring the correct interpretation of the information by the computer system is defined by the EDI standard."
EDI is a technique used to communicate business transactions between computer systems of different companies and organizations. Note that sometimes the EDI mechanism deployed at a company is often used to interface to other systems within the same organization."

About ALE/IDOC

1. could anybody please send me the ALE/IDOC real time scenario pr technical spec(on which u had an experience) to my mail
ID: [email protected]
or
could u provide ur 'contact number' so that i could give a call to u .
please help me na.

Hi,
Few examples of real time scenarios are
1. Outputting Purchase Orders as IDOCs on saving the PO
2. Outputting Inbound Delivery on receipt of ASNs
3. Processing Goods Receipt from a third party system
For this You need to Activate the Change Pointer through IMG SALE...for the repective MESSAGE TYPE say Material Master MATMAS
After That creat Material (MM01)
After that go to SE38 Run the Report programm RBDCPMIG to created Master IDOC and Communication IDOC...And if All Your ALE Settings are correct .. it will transfer the IDOC to Other Client....or R/3
YOu can also try
Creation of purchase Order what has been explained in above reply..
You can also try out this scenario instructed in this Quick refrance Guide.....

Question about ALE/IDoc

I try to generate partner profile with transaction BD82.I input the model view name,partner system and execute. It says No message have been defined for the selection conditions in the model.So what is the problem.And how to handle it.
Thanks.

Hi Alex,
Just make sure you have given the name of sender, receiver system and message type correctly and you have maintained this data in tcode - BD64.
check this blog as well..
ALE configuration for pushing idocs from SAP to XI
You can use we20 to maintain partner profile as well.

hi,
can u help me in getting information about cross applications.
what is cross application indeed.And i want know about ALE,IDOC's,EDI,BAPI.
and what is the relation between RFC AND IDOC.
thanks

Hi Satya Reddy
This will expalin you every thing ...pl..go through
IDOC-Intermediate documents
BAPI-Business ApplicationProgramInterface
BADI-Bsuiness Addins
RFC-Remote Function call
ALE-Application liniking and enabling
The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

In " XI"
IDOC ---> Will be used to sending data in Async mode ...
It is very standard and for better performance Async case
RFC --- > Function module and general will be used to make call to function
sending the function (XI has RFC adapter)
BAPI ---> Other version of RFC (Objected oriented) mostly we will use for Sync
calls (Mostly in XI using proxies we will call BAPI's)
I hope this will answer your question

ALE/IDoc: About changed and new funcitons in Release 6.40

Hi,
I'm not good at ALE/IDoc, but I have one question about the Release Notes for Basis component(Release 6.40).
(cf: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ec/f23442d692ad04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
In the above document, in the category of "Effects on System Administration", on 3rd line,
"Newly created segments cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such"
I cannnot understand 2 points about this sentence.
The 1st is that "Newly created segments" means the segments I created by myself ? or the ones that were created after release 6.40? Which is correct?
The 2nd is what's the meaning of "cannot generally be enhanced, and are classified as such" ?
Once I created some segments, it is prohibited from customizing or changing them?
If you have some ideas or answers, please help me.
Best Regards,
Dai

Hi,
What I understand from the document is the segments created after release 6.40 by SAP cannot be enhanced because the segments are already released.
The custom segments can be enhanced before release.

Manasa

Would you like to send me some Document about ALE EDI IDOC

hi experts:
I am learning about ALE,EDI,IDOC,would you like to send me some Document about ALE EDI IDOC?which can include the details of Steps,best it can have the Pictures,thanks a lot.

Hi Niel,
There may be a problem with the definition of the rule to delete the characteristic. If you go to transaction RSMRT
and use the 'check' option to check the rule you created are there any errors for the check?
If not when you get the error message that you mention is there any additional error messages created in sm21
or dumps in ST22?
If not there may be a problem with the consistency of the cube if you goto RSRV>All Elementary tests>Transaction data
and run these tests for the cubes are there any error messages? If yes please try to use the repair function in RSRV
to correct any errors.
If none of the above helps you should delete the run you created, make a dummy change to the cube (e.g add a '.'
to the description of the cube, save the change and then activate the cube, please then try and create the
remodelling rule again.
Best Regards,
Des.

Help: one request using ALE&IDOC to Posting Goods Issue about MaterialScrap

Hi Exports,
i got a situation. My client is using ALE&IDOC to deal with the Material Scrapping. The business scenario is:
1. One third system (Non-SAP) Send IDOC to SAP Production Server through the Intermedia SEEBEYOND.
    Message Type: MBGMCR
    IDOC Type: MBGMCR02
    BUSINESS OBJECT: BUS2017
2. SAP Production Server use "Message Type: MBGMCR" to find out the BAPI in Distribution Model and trigger the BAPI.
the Distribution Model:
Model View
SEEBEYONG
PRODUCTION
GoodsMovement.CreateFromData
Reciever determination: no filter
Now my client's request is:
When the Movement Type is 551 in the IDOC Segment "E1BP2017_GM_ITEM_CREATE", This IDOC will be ignore and not trigger the BAPI to post goods issue.
i try to add the destination filter in the Distribution Model. but when i add the filter group, there are only two filter parameter ("Plant" and "Storage Location") and don't allow to add others.
i have no idea now. can anyone give me a favor. thank you very much in advance.

Data transfer using ALE/IDOC into XML.

Dear All,
I have to transfer FI document data (FB01) from the sap system ,convert it into XML and dump it in 1 of the file servers.I want to do this using ALE/IDOC.Is it possible to do the same and how.Similarly i want to do the same for Vendor and Customer master i.e sending the data in XML format.
Kindly Suggest how do i go about doin the same..Its very urgent.Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

In continuation:
Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
Development access; and
ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
Segment fields
LIFNR Vendor account number
XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
Enter a description for your segment type and create
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
Check the box on the line of your new segment
Save, back and enter
Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
Save and back
To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to add a new type
Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
Click on New entries
Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
Create the output partner profile.
Distribute the customer model
Specify the name of the customer model.
You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
The customer model must be maintained.
RFC destinations must be maintained.
The customer model must be distributed.
To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.
Data declaration statements

Move the document header into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_HEAD_TAB INTO DOC_HEAD.
ENDLOOP.
Move the document item data into a structure

3. INBOUND PROCESSING
3.1. Create Function Module
This function module is called when a message type, of type ZINVRV, comes into the receiving system. This needs to be configured and is dealt with later in this section. The function module is passed the IDoc as a parameter.
Example parameters

IDOC_CONTRL EDIDC
IDOC_DATA EDIDD
IDOC_STATUS BDIDOCSTAT
RETURN_VARIABLES BDWFRETVAR
SERIALIZATION_INFO BDI_SER
Exceptions

Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates a BDC table with the IDoc info;
calls the transaction via a BDC call; and
updates the IDoc status according to the BDC error status.
EXTRACT FROM: Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV

ENDCASE.
PERFORM REV_INV.
ENDLOOP.
PERFORM UPDATE_IDOC_STATUS.
ENDLOOP.

Now we can call transaction 'VF11' with the populated bdc table. The transaction is called inside the idoc-contrl loop, so a transaction will be called for every idoc (journal). the transaction is called in no-display mode ('N') because this code runs in background as it is called by ale. The update is specified to be synchronous ('S') because we have to wait for the result to update the idoc status correctly.
CALL TRANSACTION C_TCODE USING BDC_TAB MODE 'N' UPDATE 'S'.
Store the return code for use in another form (status update)

Figure 5: Inbound processing example code
3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
Type in message type as ZINVRV
Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
Click on New entries
Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
Choose Inbound with ALE service
Choose Processing with function module
Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
Click on New Entries
Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
Enter your process code ZINR
Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.
Hope this will help you,
If you want me to explain more, you can give me your email id.
Reward with points incase you are satisfied.

As a abap programmer what is the role in ale/idoc.

hi guru.
i am a abap programmer. please tell me what is the role of abap programmer
in ale/ idoc.

Hi,
ALE is Application Link Enabling.
ALE
A means of creating and operating distributed applications.
Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.
ALE consists of the following layers:
Application services
Distribution services
Communication services
Refer
http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale.pdf
http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale2.pdf
Check this link ALE and EDI
ABAP Programmer must know how to create inbound n outbound interfaces to send IDOCs through ALE.
Please refer to the details mentioned in the hyper-links beow.
You will get the details how to go about it.
To see the IDOC & status check it in WE02/WE05
You will get step by step process.

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

Payroll Payment via ALE/IDOC

Hello Everyone,
We currently run payroll and process ACH payment information via RFFOUS_T. The information is sent directly to the bank. We have a new request which will require HR Payroll payment information to be sent from our SAP system to another SAP system via ALE/IDOC. Does anyone have any documentation which offers an explanation as to how Payroll processes payment information ALE/IDOC.
I have found a few references to PC00_M08_CDTA, RFFOEDI1, type PEXR2002/PEXR2003 etc, but nothing that brings it all together. The process seems to be fairly standard and should be easy to implement (RFC, partner profile, etc). I am ultimately looking for a best practices or some other document which brings everything together and indicates which transactions the user must execute.
Thank you for your help.
Scott

Get Message when ALE Idoc-Import cancelled

Hello,
I would like to get informed, when our regularly ALE Idoc-Import has cancelled. Today we receive Idocs from an SAP R/3 of our parent company over night within actual currency. Sometimes the Import by ALE Idocs has cancelled for example if there are some currency-codes are missing in target-system BW. We only have a chance get informed about the import-status by using TC BD87 and have a look into the status monitor. Alternative we can have a look by TC CCMS.
Does anybody has an idea how to design automatically a message into SAP workplace or something like this (in best case getting in E-Mail), if the import has cancelled? In other cases we could design this workaround if a BI process-chain-job has cancelled. But this workaround has been designed by external consultant and are not here any more.
Maybe anyone at this place has an idea...
Best regards
Daniel

What version of iPhoto are you using and from where (and how) are you trying to import the photos?
As a first fix attempt try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and see if you get the same message. If you don't then the problem lies with your current library.
