ALE Customization steps

Hi friends,
I am trying to customize ALE layer between two R/3 Systems to send IDOC of type 'MATMAS'. I know the steps like creation of Logical sytems, RFC destinations, Ports, Partner profiles and modelling. I am confused about which one to be done at which end. Please clarify in detail.
Regards,
Rajesh

Customization step for in New Plant in production planning.

Dear Experts,
Thanks for your continues support from SCN.
My company having one of the production process unit.
Already some plants (1000 ) are assign the process order customization. But currently include one additional plant ( 1001) for process manufacturing.
Basically create order type, production scheduler, production scheduling profile these are all the main thing, other wise what are all the assignment to be ensure , create and followed.Kindly send me the customization step for each assignment in our new plant.
( order creation to end of the account settlement itself)
I am waiting for your valuable feedback.

Hi Anil,
if all master data configuration is over in the new plant, you can proceed to crteate the required cofiguration for new plant.
if your production process is similar across all plants then you can simply copy all the required things from your old plants, or if the process is different in the new plant you have to configure the required settings.
as you asked what are required settings apart from Basically create order type, production scheduler, production scheduling profile these are all the main thing,
apart from above things. actually the configuration is depends on your Production process which you Follow in your business. as standard process starts from Configuration od SOP And Transfering Demand To MRP and Running MRP then executing the results of mrp in this case we need to configure SOP And MRP Settings First then remaining Production process configuration.
can you give the details of your PRoduction process then we can discuss the sequence of required configuration.
Thanks&Regards,
Venkat.

Ale audit steps

Hi,
Can anybody please explain ale audit steps.
1. i am sending idocs from send1 rece1. how i can i know the status of outbound idocs using ale audit
i want to know the process behinds this.

Hi Sudhakar..
ALE Audit Steps:
In the Sender system:
1. In the Model view (BD64) : Add the Message type ALEAUD
Note: Sender and Receiver has to be reverse..
Distribute the Model view to the Receiver system.
2. Audit data can be confirmed periodically back to the sending system, you have to use the program RBDSTATE to specify a variant and schedule a background job in the receiving system

I need to get link for the complete customization steps for Trade Promotion

Hi Champs,
I appreciate if anyone of you can provide me the complete customization steps or the link on the sap portal for trade promotions .A link of it`s theory will can also be useful but I specifically need the lin k fore the crm customization steps needed for trade promotions.
Thanks + Regards,
Conte

Conte,
Honestly your question is too broad to be answered here. In addition to those forum threads please check the best practices for CRM to see how to confgure some of the components used by TPM:
http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv12007/CRM_DE/HTML/index.htm
In addition review your solution manager along with the standard SAP help for information.
If you have specific questions when configuring your system, please feel free to post those as new separate questions.
I'm going to lock this thread from further replies, as this question is too vague to receive a correct response.
Thank you,

Customization steps of the text determination processes

Can anybody anybody tell the customization steps of the text determination processes (transaction codes: VOTXN and SO10) of the header of the sales documents step by step in a detailed manner?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hikmet,
In a business relationship, it is essential that business partners exchange information throughout the logistics chain. In sales and distribution, this exchange of information is supported by texts in master records and documents. You can maintain these texts for one particular customer or define them so that they can be used more flexibly.
Texts can be used in many areas of sales and distribution:
Sales notes for customers
Sales texts for materials
Explanations in order confirmations
Shipping instructions in deliveries

Hi,
In a business relationship, it is essential that business partners exchange information throughout the logistics chain. In sales and distribution, this exchange of information is supported by texts in master records and documents. You can maintain these texts for one particular customer or define them so that they can be used more flexibly.
Texts can be used in many areas of sales and distribution:
Sales notes for customers
Sales texts for materials
Explanations in order confirmations
Shipping instructions in deliveries
You can define as many text types as you require (sales texts, shipping texts, internal notes, supplement texts etc.) for master records and documents.
You can take the settings for the texts from Sales and Distribution Customizing under Text control.
Features
You store the texts that are to serve as information carriers in the system and in the output in the customer master record, the material master record, and in the sales and distribution documents. In addition the following processing and control functions are supported:
Texts are proposed from the master records in the sales and distribution documents, if you have made the appropriate setting.
Texts can be copied from a reference sales and distribution document into another sales and distribution document (e.g. from an inquiry into a sales order or from an order into a delivery).
The copying of texts can be made language dependent, if required.
You can change copied texts.
You can integrate standard texts into the sales and distribution documents.
If you want to use texts more than once, you can enter these texts as standard texts and include them in the master record or document texts. If you define standard texts, they are included in the sales and distribution forms when they are issued.
Some standard texts to which you can refer in the sales and distribution documents have been defined in the standard version of the SAP R/3 System.
Notes on Entering Text
You can use standard texts to give notes to the employee entering an sales and distribution document regarding the information he should include in specific header or item texts and the sequence in which he should do it. For example, by including a standard text such as a header note in the sales document, you can make sure that the employee specifies in the first line whether the customer has taken advantage of a sales promotion in his purchase order and in the second line, how (newspaper, radio etc.) he found out about the promotion.
Proposals from the Master Records
The standard text above must first of all be created and then included in a text in the customer master. You can define in Customizing whether this text is automatically proposed from the customer master record in the header note of the document header when you create a sales document.
Standard texts can be proposed in the documents at header and item level in the same way from the material master record.
Create
To create a standard text, proceed as follows:
Select Tools ® SAPscript ® Standard text on the main menu screen.
Enter a name for the text to be created in the field Text name, the indicator ST in the field Text-ID, and the abbreviation for the language in which you want to create the text in the field Language.
Select Create/Change.
You switch to the SAPscript editor. If no standard text has been created with this name, the following message is displayed: Text stands for the language indicator with which you control the language of the standard text. The line in which you make these entries must have the formatting key /: (paragraph format for a command line) in the format column.
Calling Up At the Time of Issue
In Customizing any number of standard texts can be included in the definition of a sales and distribution forms. The texts then appear in the appropriate place in the form when each output is issued.
Further Information
You will find additional information on the SAPscript editor and on INCLUDEs as well as examples online in the hypertext system under the text module name STXD_ED. Proceed as follows:
Select Tools ® Hypertext ® Structures on the main menu screen.
Enter the text module name in the Structure field and in the Language field the abbreviation for the required language.
Select Structure ® Display.
You reach the Display Structure screen.
Place the cursor on the entry that you want to read and select Goto ® Document ® Read.
The content of the text module is displayed on the screen.
Select Back to return to the initial screen.

How to - E-Recruiting ALE-integration step-by-step (EhP4)

Hi everyone,
Can anyone tell me the step-by-step guideline to perform the ALE initial run from SAP HCM to E-Recruiting using transaction PFAL (RHALEINI)??
We are implementing E-Recruiting stand-alone constellation: separate ECC instance integrated with E-Rec via ALE/RFC, enhancement package 4.
We've done some try-outs in the new version, but we lack the certainty that we've done things right.
Please do not refer to note 997181 since it does not explain the details on how to run the initial load. It explains adequately how to set-up the config and very basically how to run PFAL on page 2 (scen. I2-A) and page 4 (up to rel. 6.03)... But it's not sufficient in my opinion... We've done exactly the same...
So what I'm interested in is the right sequence of runs and the selection screen values.
We also have quite a few SLG1 errors which are unclear. Some suggest as if the processing occurs simultaneously (parallel) and blocks the asynchronous processes... Is there a certain number we should enter in the field "number of objects per process"? It's defaulted on 200...
Can anyone shed some light on the best-practice how to run this transaction?
Many thanks in advance!
Miroslav.

Ale-idoc steps

Hi All,
Can any one please give me the step by step ale-idoc toturial.about the steps to send data from one client to other.
Regards,
bunty

Hi,

It gives, entire idoc documentation.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3b/beb13b00ae793be10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
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.

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.

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.

What is IDOC
IDocs are SAPs file format to exchange data with a foreign system. IDocs is the acronym for Intermediate Document. This indicates a set of (electronic) information, which builds a logical entity. An IDoc is e.g. all the data of a single customer in your customer master data file. Or the Idoc is all the data of a single invoice.
IDocs are an ASCII file format to exchange data between computers; the format is chosen arbitrarily
IDocs are similar to segmented files; they are not a description language like ANSI X.12, EDIFACT or XML
The IDoc contents are processed by function modules, which can be assigned in customizing
Process Steps for IDOC Programming
The following steps are required for inbound and outbound IDOC Programming.
Interpreting An IDoc Segment Info
All IDoc data records are exchanged in a fixed format, regardless of the segment type. The segments true structure is stored in R/3s repository as a DDIC structure of the same name.
Go to transaction code WE31. Enter the name of the Segment, which is to be created (fig 2.1).
E.g. Create the segment ZEMPMASTSEG
Fig 2.1 WE31- IDOC Segment main screen.
Fig 2.2 WE31 IDOC Segment definition screen.
In the above screen user can enter the fields, which are necessary for the segment. Once all the necessary fields will be populated then Save the transaction. After Saving release the version of the Segment by selecting the version and through menu Edit -> Set release.
Same way create one or more segment.
Fig 2.3 WE31 IDOC Segment definition screen for another segment (ZEMPMASTHEADERSEG).
IDoc Type The Structure of the IDoc File
The IDoc type is the name of the data structure used to describe the file format of a specific IDoc.
An IDoc is a segmented data file. It has typically several segments. The segments are usually structured into fields, however different segments use different fields.
The IDoc type is defined with transaction WE30, the respective segments are defined with transaction WE31 as per the point 2
Go to transaction code WE30. Enter the IDOC Type name.
Fig 3.1 WE30 IDOC Type main screen.
Add the segments to the IDOC Type as per the requirement.
For e.g. in the fig 3.2 it shown that IDOC Type is having only one segment ZEMPMASTHEADERSEG, which is having one child segment ZEMPMASTSEG
Fig 3.2 WE30 IDOC Type segment screen
For each segment developer (double click on the segment) can set the minimum, maximum number of segment in a sequence.
Fig 3.3 fig 3.4
Defining the Message Type
The message type defines the context under which an IDoc is transferred to its destination. It allows using the same IDoc file format to use for several different applications.
The message type together with the IDoc type determines the processing function.
The message type defined using transaction code WE81.
fig 4.1 WE81 Message Types
Define Valid Combination Of Message and IDoc Types
The valid combinations of message type and IDoc type are stored in table EDIMSG, using transaction WE82.
The declaration of valid combinations is done to allow validation, if the system can handle a certain combination.
Fig 5.1 WE82 Message Type Assignment
Process Step for Inbound IDOC Programming
Characteristics of Inbound function module
Before assigning the function module to Inbound process code, its characteristics must be set with the transaction BD51. This step is mandatory before assigning the function module to Inbound process code.
For inbound processing you need to tell, whether the function will be capable of dialog processing. This is meant for those functions, which process the inbound data via call transaction. Those functions can be replayed in visible batch input mode to check why the processing might have failed.
Fig 6.1
Here the main characteristic is Input Type. It means How are IDoc packages processed? and having values like
Input Type Short Text
0 Mass Processing
1 Individual input
2 Individual input with IDOC locked in CALL TRANSACTION
Also another property Dialog Allowed can be set here. With Dialog allowed IDocs can be processed in dialog mode.
Fig 6.2 BD51 Characteristics of Inbound Function Module
Assigning a processing function
The combination of message type and IDoc type determine the processing algorithm. This is usually a function module with a well-defined interface or a SAP business object and is set up in table EDIFCT.
The entry made the points to a function module, which will be called when the IDoc is to be processed. The entries for message code and message function are usually left blank. They can be used to derive sub types of messages together with the partner profile used.
Used transaction code WE57 for assigning function module to IDOC Type.
Fig 7.1 WE57 Assign Function Module to Message and IDOC Type
Fig 7.2 Assign a handler function to a message/message type
Process Codes
R/3 uses the method of logical process codes to detach the Idoc processing and the processing function module. They assign a logical name to function instead of specifying the physical function name.
The combination message type/IDoc will determine the logical processing code, which itself points to a function. If the function changes, only the definition of the processing codes will be changed and the new function will be immediately effective for all IDocs associated with the process code.
For inbound processing codes you have to specify the method to use for the determination of the inbound function.
The Inbound processing code can be attach to the function module using transaction code WE42
Fig 8.1 WE42 Define Inbound Process Code
You need to tick, if your function can be used via the ALE engine. This is the option you would usually choose. It allows processing via the ALE scenarios. See fig below
Fig 8.2 WE42 Set properties of Inbound Process Code
See fig 8.4
Fig 8.3 WE42 Set the Message type for the Inbound Process Code
Fig 8.4 WE42 Fill the details of the Inbound Process Code.
The properties set in the above fig 8.4 are used for the workflow handling when the IDOC is having any error.
Properties, which are useful in the workflow processing, are as follows.
Object Type It is a business object created using transaction code SWO1 and used as a handler
Starting Event - Will triggered the workflow on occur of Error.
Ending Event - Will terminate the workflow after processing the
Workflow Handling
Refer: - Workflow Guide
Create Inbound Partner Profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles. Maintain receiving system partner profile using WE20 (See fig. 10.3). Add the message type in the Senders inbound parameter.
Following steps will be followed for creation of partner profile (Inbound).
Add the message type (e.g. ZEMPMSG) into the inbound parameter by clicking .
Fig. 10.1 WE20 Addition of message type in Inbound Partner Profile
On the next screen enter the message type , process code. In the Processing by function module block select the radio button based on the need. If you clicked on Triggered by background program then the IDOC will be collected and will triggered by another program which will run in background and if the second option Triggered immediately is clicked then the IDOC will be processed by the function module as soon as it is triggered.

Execution Steps for inbound Idoc:
To execute inbound idoc go to Transaction we19 give the Idoc number execute the transaction
It displays a screen with control, data, and status records. Click Standard inbound OR inbound function module buttons and process the idoc.
i) Standard inbound:
If you have selected the standard inbound button it displays a screen with the standard setup:
II) Inbound function module:
If you select the in bound function module button displays the below screen you can enter the function module name which you want to execute
If you select Check box Call in debug mode you can execute the function module in debug mode.
Call transaction Processing:
In Background:
The function module is called in the background
This setting is only important if the function module to be called reacts accordingly to the importing parameter 'INPUT_METHOD'. This is therefore only valid for function modules which implement the application functionality using the command 'CALL TRANSACTION'.
In foreground :
The function module is called in the foreground.
This setting is only important if the function module to be called reacts accordingly to the importing parameter 'INPUT_METHOD'. This is therefore only true for function modules which implement application functionality using the command 'CALL TRANSACTION'.
In foreground After error:
The function module is called in a background session. This becomes a session in the foreground after the first error has occurred.
This setting is only important if the function module to be called reacts accordingly to the importing parameter 'INPUT_METHOD'. This is therefore only true for function modules which implement application functionality using the command 'CALL TRANSACTION'.
Now it will post the idoc.
Testing of Inbound Idoc:
If you need to check the status of idoc Go to Transaction ZE05 give the idoc number in the idoc number select option execute the transaction.
Then displays a screen with Out box and Inbox . select the idoc number in the Inbox Shows the control record , data record ,status record .select the status record and check for the idoc status Then you will be known the idoc is successful posted or not.
The idoc which has been posted into SAP successfully will have the status 53.
The list of the other valid status for Inbound Idoc are as follows:
Status Message Description
50 IDoc added
51 Error: Application document not posted
52 Application document posted
62 IDoc passed to application
64 IDoc ready to be transferred to application
74 IDoc was created by test transaction
Process Steps for Outbound IDOC Programming
The following steps are required for Outbound IDOC Programming.
Common Steps
The steps for new segment creation, new Idoc Type, new Message Type and linking between message type and Idoc Type are same as Inbound Idoc Programming. The detail Steps for such activities are mentioned in the Page 2 to Page 5.
Create Outbound Partner Profile
Use Transaction WE20 and select the Receiver Partner. Then add message type ZEMPMSG in the outbound parameters. The partner profile needs to be created at the ReceiverLogical System(LS)/Customer(KU)/Vendor(LI)/Bank(B)/Benefits provider(BP)/ User(US) only.
Then double click on the Message type ZEMPMSG and it navigates to the following screen where user has to set the following attributes:
Receiver port as A000000001 for RFC
Packet Size field as 1
Idoc type Z_EMPMAT_IN in basic type field
Set the Syntax check box
Set the output mode as Transfer Idoc immediately
Save the changes.
Coding Steps:
1) Create an Executable Program Based on specification.
2) All the Important Data should be displayed as Parameters with mandatory.
i) Message type
ii) Sender port
iii) Sender partner
iv) Sender partner function
v) Receiver port
vi) Receiver partner
vii) Receiver partner function
3) Select the data based on selection screen into an internal table.
4) Read the selected internal table and fill the Header segment.
5) Now Loop the internal table to fill other Segments.
6) Fill the Control segment data.
7) Call the proper Function module and pass the data to the function module
To create the idoc.
8) Change the status of idoc based on the function module return code.
9) If FM return code is 0 set status to 03.
10) See the demo program Z_IDOC_OUTBOUND_EMP for more Clarification.

Error in ALE customization.

Hi,
when I use PRRW transaction to transfer all data from HR system to FI.
I am getting error :
"In your system an error occurred that can probably be corrected by making changes in ALE customizing. "
I have checked RFC connection from HR to FI is in place.

Have you checked RFC destinations defined to your logical system?
Use transaction BD97,check the assignment to RFC destination for your logical system, also insue that you are using correct(standard BAPI Destination or Special method destination)as per your system customization.
Hope this will help you.

Customization step for classic to extended classic

Hi,
Currently I have implemented classic scenario in SRM 7.0 with ECC in back-end. Now I am planing to implement extended classic scenario. In the same time we are planning to continue the classic scenario for some product category. In breif: Purchase order will be either in SRM or ECC base on product category. Please guide me let me the necessary customization setting for implementing the abover scenario.
Thanks
Regards,
Jennifer

HI,
Please activate extended classic in SRM
SPRO: Cross-Application Basic Settings->Activate Extended Classic Scenario
SPRO: Business Add-Ins->Control Extended Classic Scenario (here you can control if you need PO in SRM or ERP)
Number range, tranaction types to be configured according for SRM and ERP

Can u explin the IDOC creation with ALE/EDI step by step .

can you provide detalied code for i doc creation

hi
good
Do the following steps, idoc will trigger automatically.
If you need additional logic you have write user exit.(for first step you don't need coding).
Go to NACE and select V2 and click output type from menu.
Give following value.
Condition component Value
Access sequence 0005 (sales organization/customer)
Condition 0 (no condition)
Exclusive select
Output type LAVA (shipping notification outbound)
Procedure V10000 (shipping output)
Application V2 (shipping)
Processing subroutine Program RSNASTED,
form routine EDI-PROCESSING
General data Select Condition access and Multiple sending of output, otherwise
leave the fields blank
Time e.g. 4 (immediately, IDocs are generated immediately after
posting)
Transmission medium 6
Partner function WE
Language DE (German)
You must maintain following values for outbound partner profile.
Message type : Desadv
Partner type : Ku
Partner function : WE
Port : Subsystem
Outbput mode: Collect idoc
Basic type : Delvry01
Packet size: 1
Application: V2
Output type : LAVA
Process code: DELV.
You can post the delivery by selecting Logistics →Sales and Distribution →Shipping, Delivery
-->Create (transaction VL01). Output control is used to find the condition record and the shipping
notification is sent to the customer via EDI (IDoc Interface). The shipping time in the condition
record determines when the corresponding outbound IDoc is generated
On the Create Condition Records (Outg. ship notifica.): Fast Entry screen:
-->Enter customer number in Customer, SAP Ship-to # .
-->Enter WE in PartF.
-->Enter 6 in Medium.
-->Enter 4 in Time.
-->Enter EN in Language.
-->Choose Save.
