ALE - Idoc not getting processed automatically, instead going fine in Debug

Question

Hello All,
I have a problem with Inbound idoc processing.
IDoc settings were made 'immediate processing' in WE20, and the process code is set correctly and the attached of Z-Fun. module to process the idocs to process code.
The error in inbound side is as 'Function module not allowed: APPL_IDOC_INPUTI' 51 status. Am sure i have to do some thing with ALE settings.
Can some body help me with correction step or sequence of steps  for this ALE process.
Thanks & Regards, Jilan

Hi Jilan,
Plz follow the steps:
ALE Configuration:
•     WE30 - IDOC type creation
•     WE31 - Create segment
•     WE81 - Message type creation
•     WE82 - Link IDOC type to Message type
•     SE37   - Create Inbound Function Module
•     BD51  - Maintain entry for Function Module
•     WE57 - Maintain
•     BD57  - Link Function Module, IDOC type and Message type
•     WE42 – Create Inbound Process Code
•     BD67  - Link Process code to Function Module
•     WE20 - Create Partner Profile
•     BD64  -  Display Distribution Model
•     WE02 -  IDoc List, Display all Inbound/Outbound IDocs
•     WE14 -  Outbound Processing of IDoc’s
•     BD20 -  Inbound Processing of IDoc’s
1st Step:   Create  a Segment  ( WE31)
         Segment is a structure for passing data in IDoc. It actually contains the IDoc data, just like the DDIC table/structure. Segment is created with all the required fields. Then Save it.  But, to actually use this Segment, you have to Release the Segment, otherwise u can’t use the Segment, by menu, EDIT--> Set Release.
         Now, if you want to do some change to this Segment, u cant, unless & until u Cancel the Release, by Edit--> Cancel Release.
2nd Step:   Create IDOC Type  ( WE30 )
        After creating the Segment, now we have to create the IDoc Type. IDOC Type is like an envelop of a letter, which contains the data inside it, & also some more information like address. IDoc type can be Basic Or Extended.
       Basic IDoc Type:  Using some SAP existing IDOC type (ex. MATMAS) or Custom IDOC type.
       Extension IDOC Type:  When we need some fields extra to an existing IDOC type, then we can extend that Basic Idoc Type by another Segment. This is called Extended idoc type
3rd Step:   Create Message Type (WE81)
     Message Type is like the Postman for sending the Letter.
  4th Step:   Attach Message Type to the IDOC Type (WE82)
5th Step:   Create a Function Module (SE37)
       Write the Processing logic in a Function Module.
6th Step:   Mention the IDOC Type, i.e, 0/1/2 (BD51)
7th Step:   Assign the Message Type, IDOC Type & Function Module (WE57)
8th Step:   Create a Custom Process Code (WE42)
9th Step:   Attach the Function Module to the Process Code (BD67)
10th Step: Execute Inbound IDOC’ s (WE19)
Example Function Module: IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS (Standard FM to create Sales Order).
reward is useful,
