ALE IDOC Inbound processing using IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS

Hi experts,
I am stuck up with IDOC inbound processing.
Can you please let me know about the process in Receiving Purchase Order from the customer system and creating Sales Order in the SAP system? using FM IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS. I have an Idea about WE20, NACE etc.
Can you please explain me about the process on how to go about it?
Kind regards,
Shiva.

Hi,
I have moved this thread from [ABAP, General Forum |ABAP Development; to [Data Transfers Forum|ABAP Connectivity;.
The forum Data Transfer is the place to discuss LSMW, ALE, BDC, Data Transfer Techniques, Batch Data Communication, Legacy System Migration Workbench, Application Link Enabling, IDOCs, BAPIs.
Please, the next time check the most appropriated forum category before posting. Thus you have more chance to have your question answered !

Urgent: Automate IDOC Inbound/ Outbound

Hi all,
I need to automate the whole IDOC process, inbound and outbound.
For inbound, I need to run or schedule a program that will read all files in a given directory as separate idocs. Note that the filename is not constant, whatever file is in the given directory should be consumed. I don't know if I can use we16 for this still. If I could do this, I just need to schedule RWPOS_PARA_ENQUEUE and I' finished.
For outbound, what do I do for the system to automatically generate IDOCs? I thought if I activate change pointers, IDOCs will automatically be generated if a change is detected. I am using SAP Retail, one of the idocs is similar to matmas but I cant use BD10 for this. The other two idocs are still problems for me.
In short, what do I do to automate eveything?
Thanks so much,
Kenny

Hi Kenny Martinez ,
For Inbound Automation
First attach your idoc to a process code.
In the process code you can tell the system that the specified program should be triggered whenever an idoc of that type comes to the system.
Then you want to have a Z-function module for your idoc processing, if I understand correctly.The steps should be:
1. Create a z function module for idoc inbound posting (copy from a function module idoc_input_*).
2. Set Function Modules as Inbound: - Transaction BD51
3. Assign Function Modules to Logical Messages and Idoc types:- Transaction WE57
4. Create process codes : Transaction WE42, and link the z-function module.
5. Create partner profile: transaction WE20 and attach the message type and process code.
6. In the Z- function module, extract data from the idoc segments, do whatever processing you want to do, and then call BAPI_CREATE_SALES_ORDER_FROMDAT2.
Good Luck and Reward me for the same.
Thanks

ALE IDoc inbound creation

I have requirement on Idoc, i need to create an INBOUND IDoc. i have used the function module "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE", but after the IDoc is created it shows as OUTBOUND.
can anyone help in providing the function module for INBOUND Idoc

HI kumar,
MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is used for Outbound IDocs (Masterdata in Distributionmodel Layer).
please use fm 'IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB'
Example:
call function 'IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB'
      exporting
        pi_do_handle_error     = 'X'
        pi_return_data_flag    = 'X'
      importing
        pe_state_of_processing = subrc
      tables
        t_data_records         = lt_edidd
      changing
        pc_control_record      = ls_edidc_out
      exceptions
        idoc_not_saved         = 1
        others                 = 2.

ALE IDOC inbound processing

Hey guys, I'm new to the ALE function, and I have done a bit of searching. I am trying to move a couple master data characteristics over to a different system. After I have done the outbound processing from one system, I can see that the message says "IDoc sent to R/3 System or external program" but where do I go to process the idoc into the system or should it allready be there? I'm not familier with the process. Thanks for any help guys!
- Duncan.

Hey Eswar,
I did look at the status from the source system, and the status is 03 and green lights all around. In the Target system I tried to find the Idoc, but it didn't seem to make it there.
This is what I did:
1. Transaction BD91 - Send from the Source system.
2. Enter the Characteristic that I want to send.
3. Enter the Target System where I want to send it to.
4. Transaction WE02 - Idoc has a status of 03.
Thanks guys,
Duncan.

ALE/IDOC Inbound failure u0096 56/60

Hi guys,
We are having a problem with our Idoc processing.
We are sending an Idoc from our EBP sytem via transactional RFC to our production SAP R/3 system. The transmission from the source system is ok.
However when the idoc is received the data in the control record has been deleted. We can see the control record in table EDIDC but the key information msgtyp etc has been cleared. This causes the idoc to fail with error code 56/60 'DOCTYP and IDOCTP fields are empty' & 'Basic type does not exist'
The data in the idoc segments is ok. We've checked all the config, partner profiles, port definitions etc. The fact that the idoc reaches its destination indicates that the connectivity is ok.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Chen (and Jonathan),
When SAP receives an IDoc it will replace some data in the control record (EDIDC). Mainly the fields starting with RCV are replaced with values that identify the local SAP system and the port.
Also a check is done if the IDoc in question is an existing one in the target system. Both physical IDoc type (field IDOCTP) as well as the logical type (MESTYP) must contain correct values. The value of IDOCTP must be available in transaction WE30. The value of MESTYP must be available in transaction WE81. Furthermore in transaction WE82 the relationship between them must be maintained.
Check also if the defined segments in the system are consistant (even the same VERSION). Check if mandatory segments are available.
The last you need to check is to view if the physical IDoc type (IDOCTP) has been released.
Keep in mind the following:
An IDoc can only be found by external sources if all segments have been released, the IDoc has been released and at least the transporttask where the IDoc is put into must be released.
Hope this helps you a bit.
Regards,
Rob.

idoc:
Data Creation in Idoc
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.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Steps in Inbound Processing in ALE IDOC

Hi all,
Could anyone explain the steps to be followed in inbound processing in ALE Idoc.
I know we have to create a FM n then call that in a program. But still the detail steps are not clear.
An example will be really helpful.
Thanx

Hi
Outbound:
Step 1. Application document is created when transaction is saved.
         2. Message control is invoked.
         3. Messages are processed by system.
         4. Messages are Edited (if desired).
         5. Output (ALE / EDI) is checked
         6. Validate against Message control record from Partner Profile
         7. Application Document is saved.
         8. Entry NAST table is created for every selected output program
              along with Medium & Timing.
         9. Check for Process Immediately .
                 If (yes)
                   Determine Processing Program from TNAPR Table.
                 ELSE
                   Execute RSNASTED Program.
       10. Read Partner Profile to determine Process Code.
       11. Process Code points to the Function Module & Invoked.
       12. IDoc is generated.
       13. Check for ALE Request.
                    if (Yes)
                        Perform Filters, Conversions, Version Changes etc.
                    Else.
                        IDoc is stored in DATABASE.
INBOUND:
Step 1. EDI Subsystem creates an IDoc file from EDI Messages
        2.   Subsystem calls Functional Module                                 EDI_DATA_INCOMING from startRFC program.
         3. Data in Control Record is validate against the Partner                       Profile.
        4. IDoc is generated in Database and syntax check is                      carried out.
        5. IDoc file is deleted once file read.
        6. Event PROCESSSTATE REACHED is triggered in Idoc Object Workflow.
                   7. Check for Process Immediately.
               If NO
                 Execute RBDAPP01 Program
               Else
                  Read Process Code from Partner Profile
                       Process Code Points to Function Module
                 Application Document Posted.

Data Creation in Idoc
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.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Hello,
Please guide me for Inbound processing of transactional data(ALE-IDOC).
Thanks.

Hi Sanjiv,
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
 Sending out the data from our system. The IDOC which is called as Outbound IDOC.
 Application Object
 |
 Selection Program

 |
 Outbound Trigger Program
 |
 IDOC in text format
Inbound Process
 When the data is coming in, the process is called Inbound Process and the IDoc is known as Inbound IDoc
 Application Object
 |
 Posting Program

Trying to change Inbound IDOC to Outbound IDOC for testing....

Hi Friends,
I am trying to do the following
1) In our legacy system SAP R/3 3.1H we have received an IDOC from our partner. This has been stored correctly.
2) We now need the same functionality in our SAP R/3 4.6C system so I have created the IDOC type + segments accordingly. I have also set up the partner profiles
3) We need test data but our partner can not send yet so the only other way is to send this INBOUND IDOC from 3.1H to 4.6C.
4) HOWEVER, i have tried everything to do this like using WE19 to edit the idoc, but I can not process it for OUTBOUND processing.... You can in 4.6C but there is no option in 3.1H.
HELP!! Rewards

Hi Friend,
        The test programs allow you to skip certain sections of the processing chain between applications to localize errors. However, they can also be used to simulate an entire business process (for example, purchase order on the customer side with posting of the purchase order on the vendor side) in an SAP System (without any other systems). For this reason, the test programs are an important tool for configuring the IDoc Interface and defining new IDoc types.
Use
You can use the test tool to generate an IDoc manually and send the IDoc for either inbound or outbound processing. You are not restricted to a specific port type. You can start with an IDoc type (an empty IDoc) or use an old IDoc as a template and edit the IDoc, that is, add segments or change data. This is a good way to test new IDoc types, in particular.
You can forward your new IDoc for standard inbound processing (checking partner profiles and so on). You can also call a function module directly. You can therefore test new function modules for new IDoc types.
Activities
·        Start the test tool with SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Test Tool (WE19). You can use a template for your test IDoc.
You can choose IDoc types as a template, either directly or according to a specific message type. You can use the F4 Help for IDocs used as a template, which searches for IDocs by selection criteria, in the same way, for example, to IDoc Display. When an IDoc file is used as a template, the IDocs are read from this file and are available to you for selection. A default value for the IDoc file gives you the system using your test port which you can enter in IDoc Administration . This test port must therefore be of the file type. The default file is the inbound file entered there.
·        You generate the IDoc using .
The IDoc is displayed as a tree structure. If you do not use a template to create the IDoc type, at least one more segment must be added.
·        To create segments in the form of tree nodes (colored fields) place the cursor on an existing node (for example a control record at the top) and choose .
You can cut, paste or copy individual segments or entire segment groups by positioning the cursor on the relevant segment and selecting the required action from the Edit menu.
·        Click on the white fields to change data in the segments.
In the case of the control record, only the fields which are relevant for standard inbound processing are displayed. Do not forget the required entries in the partner profiles if you want to send the IDoc for standard inbound processing! You can also change all of the control record data by choosing All fields in the edit screen.
In the All fields editor screen you must enter the non-language specific partner function (for example AG for vendor). This is the only screen in the IDoc Interface in which the partner function is not translated into your language (in English AG becomes vendor VD) - in the partner profiles or in the IDoc display the field is always translated. Thus, you see the partner functions here in the way they are saved in the database. This is a unique value in the SAP System and therefore protected against mistakes.
·        The additional procedure depends on whether you want to test inbound or outbound processing.
Test: Outbound Processing from MC
Use
Use this test program if you have chosen the Message Control module and want to test generation of an outbound IDoc from an existing message status record (table NAST).
Prerequisites
You must be able to post the application documents which are to be converted into IDocs by the Message Control module correctly so that a message status record can be generated. In the case of the Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) components, the following entries are required:
·        Customer or vendor records
·        Material records
·        Info records
·        MC condition record: The output medium 6 (for EDI) must be entered here. The condition records are maintained as messages from the respective application.
The appropriate file ports and partner profiles must exist in the IDoc Interface.
Outbound processing must be stopped when the message status record has been generated to allow the test program to intervene. To do so, you must set the Message Control dispatch time to 1 (output with selection run) in the corresponding condition record in the application. This test program, therefore, is simply used to start a selection run which retrieves the Message Control records and sends them for further outbound processing. The program is report RSNAST00, which is also generally scheduled with dispatch time 1 in live operation.
Activities
Once the application document has been posted, outbound processing stops after the message status record has been generated and is triggered again by the test program. Choose SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Outbound ® Outbound from MC.
Errors are stored in the Message Control processing log (document header) and in the status records of the IDocs. The status records, however, are only available if the IDoc was successfully generated.
Use
This test program selects one or more outbound IDocs and forwards them to the external system. You can choose the IDocs according to various criteria (for example, recipient or business message).
Prerequisites
You require outbound IDocs which were generated without errors (no error status). The partner profiles, therefore, must be maintained completely.
Outbound processing must stop when the outbound IDocs have been generated to allow the test program to intervene. You can check this by setting the output mode to Collect IDocs in the partner profile for the IDoc Interface. If you now generate an outbound IDoc for the partner (for example, using the application or the test tool), the IDoc is only generated in the SAP System and is not forwarded to the external system. This test program, therefore, is simply used to start a selection run which retrieves your IDoc(s) and sends them to the external system. The program is report RSEOUT00, which is also generally scheduled with the output mode Collect IDocs in live operation.
Activities
You start the test program by choosing SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Outbound ® Outbound from IDoc (WE14).
You can decide whether the output mode is set to Start subsystem or Do not start subsystem in the partner profile. This defines whether the external (sub) system processes the IDocs further.
Use
This program is used to test whether status confirmations for an outbound IDoc are sent correctly from the external system to the SAP System. The port type here must be set to File.
Prerequisites
A correct status file which can be generated by an EDI subsystem, for example, is required. The status file must refer to an existing outbound IDoc in the SAP System. You can also generate such a status file yourself.
The sender port must be recognized by the receiving system. The port must therefore be maintained as a port of type File in the port definition for the IDoc Interface. The entry for the inbound file must also be given here.
Features
The SAP System reads the status file. The IDoc number contained in the file refers to the outbound IDoc, to which the status confirmation relates. The confirmed statuses are credited to the relevant IDoc in the form of status records in the SAP System.
Activities
Start the test program with SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Status ® Edit Status File (WE17) and pass the inbound port, name and directory of the file. These entries overwrite the standard values which you have stored in IDoc administration using the test port.
Test: Inbound Processing: Modified Outbound File
Use
This program converts an outbound file with IDocs to a correct inbound file and sends the new file for inbound processing. The outbound file is not modified and can therefore be used more than once. The port type here must be set to File.
Prerequisites
You need a correct outbound file, for example, a file which is generated by the test tool or using a standard outbound processing. In this case, a port of the type File must be specified in the partner profile for the IDoc Interface, so that the IDoc(s) can be written to a file.
The sender port must be recognized by the receiving system. The port must therefore be maintained as a port of type File in the port definition for the IDoc Interface. The entry for the inbound file must also be given here.
Features
The program imports sender and recipient data as input parameters from the user. The program reads the IDoc file and changes the corresponding entries in the IDoc control record. The changed data is written to a second IDoc file at the operating system level.
Standard inbound processing is then triggered;
·        Reading the modified file
·        Generating the IDoc(s) in the SAP System
·        Processing in the application
Activities
Start the test program with SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Inbound ® Inb. Mod. Outb. File (WE12).
Set the sender and recipient data, as well as the outbound file and the inbound file to be generated (path and name). Your entries for the inbound file overwrite the standard values which you have stored in IDoc administration.
The recipient in this case is the SAP System. The port is used for identification purposes:
·        SAP (for example RSMITH
Test: Inbound Processing: Original Inbound File
Use
This program reads an inbound file and sends the file for inbound processing. If all data has been successfully read, the file is deleted.
Prerequisites
You require a correct inbound file. In this case, correct means that the:
·        Sender and recipient in the control record are correct
·        Direction in the control record is set to 2 (inbound)
·        Client in the control record and data records are correct or empty
The sender port must be recognized by the receiving system. The port must therefore be maintained as a port of type File in the port definition for the IDoc Interface. The entry for the inbound file must also be given here.
Features
The program reads the IDoc(s) from the inbound file and sends them for standard inbound processing (with processing within the application).
The file is deleted after being read successfully!
Activities
Start the test program with SAP Menu ® Tools ® IDoc Interface/ALE ® Test ® Inbound ® Inb. Orig. Inb.File (WE16) and pass the following data:
·        Inbound port
·        Name and directory of the file
These entries overwrite the standard values, which you have stored in IDoc Administration using the test port.

Send inbound IDOC as outbound(copy)

Hi,
We need to send the same inbound IDOC as outbound IDOC to the customer(they want to get a copy of it) How can we do this? We are getting inbound sales order IDOC's and the customer wants the copy of the same IDOC, not order acknowledgement. Is it possible?
Any inputs are greatly appreciated.
Sarita

I can think of following:
You create your own Process code, Function Module to update your data using Inbound IDOC and at the end generate outbound IDOC using same data and then distribute using MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.

IDOC Inbound and Outbound

Please let me know How to handle IDOC inbound and Outbound preferably with example. I am new to it.

An example:
inter company invoiceing:
the SD invoice has an output type (INVOICE01) that sends an Idoc that creates the mm invoice (invoice verification)
