ALE, IDoC Interfaces
Hi Experts,
I am working on ALE IDoCS Interfaces... Can anyone send me the step by step procedure for creating a sample ALE,IDOC scenario where i can send a message from client1(800) to client(810).
I need the following
1.complete ALE configuration setting between two clients.
2.Creation of Idoc , segment, filling the idoc from scratch.
3.Dispatching the Idoc on the ALE Interface
4.Handling any exceptions
Is it possible to create an ALE Interface to the same client(800 to 800) for sample testing
Thanks and Regards

Error while crating Sales Order using ALE-IDoc?
Hi all,
I have developed an ALE-Idoc interface to create Sales Order automatically When the user created a purchase order. It is working fine since past two months.
But now one SO is not created and the error message in Inound idoc is 'Sales Area not defined' message no V1316.
The material used in Po creation is created recently and using first time . i am expecting the problem is with in this material because the PO's created based on other materials is still creating the SO successfully.
Please help me in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Vamshi.Hi shan ,
Thanks for you reply. The sales area for customer and vendor is maintained in VOE2 and taking correctly for other materials except for the new material.
Also in Inbound IDoc which contains the error is having correct sales area in it's segment . But showing that in the error message as 'sales area & & & is not defined' here the sales area is wrong one it is dispalying.
so please help me on identifying the problem?
Thanks,

PO vendor partner role through ALE/IDOCs
We have ALE/IDOC interface with vendor. The requirement is PO will be sent to the ordering vendor and invoice should be received with PI vendor. We are using stardard message types for purchase order (outbound) and INVOIC (inbound).
Could you please guide me on how to set up partner profile in WE20? Do I need to define both the vendors as partner? and what partner function should I select in inbound and outbound for both the vendor? Any other settings is required?
Thanks in Advance
SagarHi,
The earlier answer was to your this question
Could you please guide me on how to set up partner profile in WE20?
Now to set up the partner function follow as below
In Spro>Purchasing>partner determination >first define the partner roles , role VN for vendor,role PI for invoicing party and OA ordering address are standard available then
Define permissible roles per Vendor A/C group ..based on account group of vendor you need to define a perticular partner role is permitted
Go to define partner schmeas for vendor master >select L1 vendor>partner functions in procedure>here you check your roles are available there 2 check boxes if you wnat a perticular role mandatory in vendor master you can check mandatory and if you want an option of changing the partner you can make it changable , better to make these two roles mandatory and OA changable
Go to assign partner schemas for vendor master assign L1 for your vendor a/c group
Then go to partner settings in purchasing document define partner schema select std.po >function in procedure>check roles VN,PI,OA
Select no change mandatory and higher level for all three
Go to assign schemas for docuemt>assign 0002 for document type in question
Thanks

2) Upload the flat file as an IDOC on the inbound sytem
which is Client2(RECIEVER).
Can anyone send me the procedure for the above.

Interfaces(ALE/iDOC) - SAP(ABAP)
Hi Every Body,
I m new to Interfaces(ALE/iDOC).Can u tell me the easy method to find out iDOCS ,How to know whether it is an outbound /inbound idoc? how develop a interface ? pls guide me with small example.
i m waiting for ur reply........
Thanx in Adv.
PrabhasHi,
There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Extended IDOCs
Idoc Components
Basic Idoc
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extension Idoc
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
Creation of IDoc
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)
Creating a Segment
Go to transaction code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
Type the short text
Enter the variable names and data elements
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set Release
Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type
Go to transaction code WE30
Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
Create IDOC Type
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
Go to transaction code WE81
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter
Click New Entries to create new Message Type
Fill details
Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
Go to transaction code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back

subhasis.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 the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?
what is the serialization concept in ALE/IDOC?
Hi Srinu ,
IDoc Serialization means, sending/posting the idocs in sequence.
We serialize IDocs in the following cases:
· If you want the Integration Server to process the corresponding IDoc XML messages in the same sequence that it receives them from the IDoc adapter at the inbound channel.
· If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that the IDoc adapter sends them at the Integration Server outbound channel.
The sequence at the Integration Server inbound or outbound channel can only be guaranteed if only IDocs are processed, and not if different protocols (for example, IDocs and proxies) are processed together.
Do not confuse IDoc serialization using the IDoc adapter with the ALE serialization of IDocs.
Prerequisites
· The quality of service EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) must be specified in the message header.
· The receiver system or the sender system must be based on SAP Web Application Server 6.40 or higher. If this is not the case, the quality of service is automatically changed to EO for compatibility reasons and the message is processed accordingly.
Procedure
If you want the Integration Server to process the IDoc XML messages created by the IDoc adapter in the same sequence that the IDocs are sent by your application, proceed as follows:
· Enter a queue name in your application. You can use 16 alphanumeric characters. The prefix SAP_ALE_ is then added.
The IDoc adapter checks the prefix and replaces it with the prefix of the corresponding Integration Server inbound queue (for example, XBQI0000).
If you want the receiver to receive the IDocs in the same sequence that they are sent by the Integration Server using the IDoc adapter, proceed as follows:
· In the communication channel, select the check box Queue processing for the receiver.
The IDoc adapter replaces the prefix of the outbound queue (XBQO) with the prefix SAP_ALE_.
You can display the individual messages in the qRFC monitor of the outbound queue. To do this, do one of the following:
¡ Use the queue ID in the list of displayed messages in the monitor for processed XML messages.
¡ Use the transaction ID in the list of displayed XML messages in the IDoc adapter.
¡ Call the transaction qRFC Monitor (Outbound Queue)(SMQ1).
To navigate directly to the display of messages in the IDoc adapter, double click the transaction ID of a message in the outbound queue.
To do this, you must have registered the display program IDX_SHOW_MESSAGE for the outbound queue in the qRFC administration (transaction SMQE) beforehand.
In both cases, the function module IDOC_INBOUND_IN_QUEUE is called, which enables EOIO processing of the messages. The processing sequence is determined by the sequence of the function module calls.
Unlike the other function modules (interface versions from the communication channel), with this function module you have to transfer segment types rather than segment names in the data records.
Serialization of Messages
Use
Serialization plays an important role in distributing interdependent objects, especially when master data is being distributed.
IDocs can be created, sent and posted in a specified order by distributing message types serially.
Errors can then be avoided when processing inbound IDocs.
Interdependent messages can be serially distributed in the following ways:
Serialization by Object Type
Serialization by Message Type
Serialization at IDoc Level
(not for IDocs from generated BAPI-ALE interfaces)
Serialization at IDoc Level
Use
Delays in transferring IDocs may result in an IDoc containing data belonging to a specific object arriving at its destination before an "older" IDoc that contains different data belonging to the same object. Applications can use the ALE Serialization API to specify the order IDocs of the same message type are processed in and to prevent old IDocs from being posted if processing is repeated.
SAP recommends that you regularly schedule program RBDSRCLR to clean up table BDSER (old time stamp).
Prerequisites
IDocs generated by BAPI interfaces cannot be serialized at IDoc level because the function module for inbound processing does not use the ALE Serialization API.
Features
ALE provides two function modules to serialize IDocs which the posting function module has to invoke:
· IDOC_SERIALIZATION_CHECK
checks the time stamps in the serialization field of the IDoc header.
· IDOC_SERIAL_POST
updates the serialization table.
Check the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/0b/2a66d6507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/78/2175a751ce11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Ex: ADRMAS, DEBMAS(customer)
ADRMAS, CREMAS(Vendor)
In this case, Before posting Customer Data or Vendor Data it requires Address Data.

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.
ThanxHi

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)

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)

SAP ALE & IDOC<<<<
Steps to configuration(Basis) >>
1. Create Logical System (LS) for each applicable ALE-enabled client
2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
Generate outbound partner profiles;
Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)

<b>ALE</b>
ALE 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.

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.

Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
Go to transaction code WE81
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter
Click New Entries to create new Message Type
Fill details
Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
Go to transaction code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.

Differences between rfc and ale/idoc.
hi ..
will u please send the differences between rfc and ale/idoc's.Hi,
Please reward with points if helpful................
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. There are three layers in ALE system: application services, distribution services, and communication services.
For communication services, ALE performs a Remote Function Call (RFC) using the port definition and RFC destination specified by the customer model. RFC is used to communicate between applications of different systems in the SAP environment includes connections between SAP systems as well as between SAP systems and non-SAP systems. Remote Function Call (RFC) is the standard SAP interface for communication between SAP systems. The RFC calls a function to be executed in a remote system.
Means of creating and operating distributed applications.
The purpose of Application Line Enabling is to guarantee a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange with consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
Application integration is achieved not via a central database, but via synchronous and asynchronous communication.
Application Link Enabling comprises the following three layers:
application services
distribution services
communication services
Two Development Models
Distribution using BAPIs
Distribution using Message type
The programming model "Distribution using message types" contains the definitions of message types and IDoc types and the ABAP code for processing inbound and outbound IDocs.
Defining message types and IDoc types:
If you want to create message type enhancements for master data distribution, you also have to create a new message type for each enhancement.
The ALE interface does not allow you to create different segment data for different IDoc types for the same message type.
Writing ABAP code:
Outbound Processing
Inbound Processing
You can find information on other ALE functions under:
Master Data Distribution
Communicating with Non-R/3 Systems
1. The Remote Function Call facility allows you to call an R/3 Function module on a remote machine.
2. To communicate between two R/3 Systems and also with an External System. External Application program also can call these function module for integration.
3. RFC or sRFC - Synchronous RFC
aRFC - Asynchronous RFC
tRFC - Transactional RFC
qRFC - Queued RFC (I.e. Serialization of tRFC)
Types of RFC Call
Synchronous
CALL FUNCTION Func Destination Dest
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION 'NONE' ...
CALL FUNCTION func DESTINATION BACK' ...
Asynchronous
CALL FUNCTION func STARTING NEW TASK taskname
PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION func
