ALE Configuration SET UP
Hi,
I am creating a ALE Scenario with Material Master. I am doing this for the first time. Please tell me whether it is possible to trasfer data from a sandbox(UPG) system to a development system. If this is possible, what are the configuration steps i need to do in bothe the system to trasfer data from sandbox to Development system. thse two systems are physically independent systems.
Thanks

ALE Scenario Development Guide
To develop a new custom ALE scenario, comprises 5 steps:
1. Design and develop the custom IDoc with its segments and a new message type
2. Configure the ALE environment with the new IDoc and message type (customer model, partner profiles and linking IDoc to message type)
3. Develop the outbound process which does the following:
Populates the custom IDoc with control info and functional data
Sends the IDoc to the ALE layer for distribution
Updates status and handles errors
4. Configure the ALE inbound side (partner profiles with inbound process code)
5. Develop the inbound process which does the following:
Reads the IDoc into a BDC table; selects other data that is required
Runs transaction using call transaction or BDC session
Updates status and handles errors
Below is a pictorial representation of the flow of a complete ALE scenario from the sending system to the receiving system.
Figure 1: ALE Scenario model
1.1. ALE Example
For the purposes of this example we will develop a small ALE scenario. This scenario is described below.
The receiver of an internal service must be able to reverse (cancel) the invoice receipt which will then cancel the applicable billing document automatically on the service providers system.
Figure 2: 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.

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

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.

ALE Configuration Again !!!
Hi All,
I am trying to do ale configuration for idoc to file scenario. I created two RFC connection one for XI system and one for R3 system. Then I created ports for both the RFC. After that I created two Logical system having same name as the two RFC above. But as per the instruction , i should assign client to above logical system. But problem is that the client number ie 030 is already defined to R3 system. My XI system have same client id, so when i am trying to assign client 030 to XI logical system, it is giving as client number is already present. I don;t understand the logic of assigning client to LS.
what should i do here?
Second thing: Can we create more than one logical name for the same system. I asked this because in the RFC list of R3 system, i already have RFC for R3 system , logical name is also present. So can i create another logical system for R3 system?
Ranjeet Singh.An excerpt from SAP documentation on Logical System Names.
Logical system names must contain capital letters and numbers only. SAP recommends the following naming convention for logical system names: <System-ID>CLNT<Client>. Refer to url
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/00/dc54384ac9a81be10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
SCC4 should already have been set. So I assume that you are creating your logical systems in the IMG to then assign in WE20 (Partner Profiles). As the XI SystemID will be different to your R3 SystemID, CLNT should not be an issue.
If not then please clearly define the issue to include where you want to create the logical system and which way your IDOC will travel. We currently send IDOCs from CRM to XI and vica versa -
ALE Configuration issues..
Hi,
I am trying to set up ALE configuration between two SAP systems. I have defined partner profile(WE20) in sender system, there is a tab 'Post processing : Permmitted Agent', I have chosen type as User and agent as system user Id. I would like to know on what basis value of type and agent should be chosen?
I have another query....I am sending Idocs from one system to other. I am defining control records in a program in sender system. In control record I have mentioned sender port name(sndpor), sender partner number(sndprn) and sender partner type(sndprt). I would like to know whether i need to mention receiver port number(rcvpro), receiver partner number(rcvprn) and receiver partner type(rcvprt) ?? Please note that I am not receiving any data to my system but only sending Idocs to other system.
Thanks.Hi,
in the sender system you will have to define the sending options
In the receiver system you will have to define the receiving options
that is the partner profile.
if you are not useful with this, you could play with BD64
In WE20, you specify with this partner (the system receiver) I will send this kind of data.
In the receiver system, in WE20, you will specify with this partner (the sender) I will received this kind of data
so if you send other things, the receiver system will refused it
You could also specify the system in some transaction, for example BD10 for material, but if the WE20 customizing is missing, the system will don't do anything

ALE configuration, Assign Company Code to Cross-System Company
Hello all,
I set up and configured ALE so that we can keep our production, QA, development master data in sync. I activated the change pointers for the particular message type for which we want to create IDOCs when new master data is created, or existing master data is changed. IDOCs are then sent to the QA and development systems.
Are these three ALE configurations associated with anything outside of ALE? Is there any area that can or will be affected by these three configuration settings?

SAP will be throwing this type of messages when
Differing currencies: USD - CAD
Message no. KT276
Diagnosis
The system makes consistency checks during assignment of a company code to a controlling area as part of assignment control.
The same checks take place if assignments already exist and you change the basic data in the controlling area, or if you define the controlling area and company code as a 1:1 structure.
If the check finds an error, the system cannot execute the function ("Assign" or"Change basic data"). If you do not maintain the required data for the consistency check (such as currency, chart of accounts, or fiscal year variant in the company code), this also results in an error message.
You want to use currency type USD. The SAP System determined the company codes assigned to controlling area CAD and the relevant currencies. One discrepancy occurred in one of the currencies.
Note
A precondition for currency type "10" is that all company codes assigned to the controlling area must use the same currency.
A precondition for currency types "40" and "50" is that all company codes assigned to the controlling area must belong to the same country or use the same hard currency or index-based currency.
A precondition for currency type "60" is that all company codes must belong to the same company or all the companies must use the same currency.
Procedure
Change the currency type or the currency settings. -
Dear Experts,
I have ECC PO and as of now user creates manual sales order in other R/3 4.7 which is time consuming, less accurate and erroneous process. I got to know something on ALE configuration where user creates PO in ECC, automatically SO created in R/3. Basically, i have two separate server ECC and R/3. pl share ALE configuration steps of to create SO in other R/3 system from PO of ECC system. Pl also share any other processes to be followed to achieve automation of SO creation into other SAP system from PO.Hi,
Check the transaction code VOE2 which suits your requirement to create the SO from PO with ALE
In that transaction code you have to maintain the combination of Customer , vendor and sales area details
After that set up the partner profiles in the transaction code WE20 with the Partner type LS from ECC to R/3 with relevant message types and IDOC types
Please let the Developer know these details and he would be able to create the Partner profile
revert back if you need further details

Now the problem is that when an order is created or changed in the message output of the PO I am seeing the status as yellow i.e.not processed.
In NAST table, the entry is there but on executing RSNAST00 nothing happens.
Please provide me the pointers to solve the given problem.
Regards,
MayankHi,
Guess it looks like the output is getting proposed but its not getting processed. Check the output type configuration. Check the TIme Settings in the output type configuration.
It is possible to set the Time when the output must be processed. Is it on SAVE or is it set to other settings. If its set to via background job then the background job must be run to process the output types.
Check and let me know if all is fine at the output type configuration.
Cheers

If your script works so far then you can clean it up:
tell application "FileMaker Developer"
open "MacintoshHD:Users:stuart:Desktop:Practice.fp7"
set mytext to record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Word"
activate
set myRange to create range active document start 0 end 0
insert text (mytext) at myRange
end tell
Also try:
set mytext to contents of record 2 of table 1 of database 1 as styled text

How to maintain One product cost collector for multiple materials and configuration setting
Hi experts,
my requirement is that i want to maintain one product cost collector for multiple materials ans also i want to know the configuration setting for the same.
I have used KKF6N but it is not working in my case. I went through KKF6M also but there i found multiple cost collectors.
please guide me in the same.
Thanks in advance.Hi Shripad,
you cannot assign same Product cost collector to different material.
Because you creating cost collector for material combination of material /production version,material /Bom Routing.
so please create individual cost collector for every material.
if you have any query kindly revert back.

Single Transaction code for ALE Configuration

I want to Know is there any Single Transaction code for the ALE Configuration instead of going through SALE, WEDI t-code or with defining logical systems assigning them to clients, creating RFC and Distribution Model, generate partner function and..so on.
Please let me know if there is any t-code through which i can do the ALE configuration in a single T-code.

Every page I open in Firefox looks like the formatting is wrong. Even this page...the fields overlap. Particularly if it is a retail/shopping site, I can hardly read product descriptions or whatever because everything is on top of each other. Picture
