Ale idocs tcode related
what is the tcode for assigning message types and inbound function module in ale
please reply me
thanks & regards,

Hi Hari,
Steps relate to idoc
Creation of IDoc
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
1)Create Segment ( WE31)
2)Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
3)Create Message Type ( WE81)
4)Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)
Creating a Segment
a)Go to transaction code WE31
b)Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
c)Type the short text
d)Enter the variable names and data elements
e)Save it and go back
f)Go to Edit -> Set Release
g)Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type
a)Go to transaction code WE30
b)Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
c)Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
d)Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
e)The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
f)Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
g)The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
h)Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
i)Save it and go back
j)Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
a)Go to transaction code WE81
b)Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
c)After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see d)Help for further info). Press Enter
e)Click New Entries to create new Message Type
f)Fill details
g)Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
a)Go to transaction code WE82
b)Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
c)After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see d)Help for further info). Press Enter.
e)Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
f)Fill details
g)Save it and go back
From WEDI got to Control -> Inbound process codes -> Inbound with ALE service -> Processing by function module (transaction WE42), or from WEDI go to Control -> Outbound process codes -> Outbound with ALE service -> With function module (transaction WE41). There will be function modules associated with the process codes. For inbound, the function modules usually follow this pattern: IDOC_INPUT_messagetype: for example, IDOC_INPUT_CHRMAS for inbound characteristics master.
REWARD IF USEFULL

Error in ALE-IDOC related to HR data posting in ECC 6.0
Hello People,
Upgradation done from 4.6B to ECC 6.0.
Here the data comes from the 3rd part s/w and then gets posted through a Z program which in tern calls SAP standard program " RSEINB00" and FM "IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE" is used in this std program to post the data to the corresponding HR tables through IDOC postings.
ALE-IDOC Z program works fine in 4.6B but gives error in ECC 6.0.
Error in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype Message no. 5-109 Diagnosis An error has occurred in subroutine read_namtb for structure of infotype .
Procedure
Check the entry for infotype in table T777D (structure, IDoc segment, expanded structure) and the corresponding structures.
As per the error message it seems that some table () needs to be maintained with some values, but this was working fine with the 4.6 B with current settings.
Is this error due to version change to ECC 6.0? What extra settings need to be done with respect to IDOC so that the posting program works fine without giving the stated error. Kindly let me know.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav Joshi.Please keep in mind ECC 6.0 is an UniCode based system.
as 4.6C was not,
did the Z-program have been tested before in the current environment?
Some special functions (keywords hints ...) are no longer supported after the upgrade.,
this was shown during the upgrade in the unicode migration tools
For sure all the own programms needs to be verfied, after an upgrade.
commonly this should be done
in the quality assurance test to avoid touble in production. -
what r the diffrent methods& steps to tranfer the data from outbound to inbound ,viceversa in ale/idoc ?
explain each and every method ? plzzzApplication Linking and Enabling (ALE)
In this document you will learn the step-by-step procedure to setup the ALE system and go through a transaction between two clients
For our purpose we have two clients
namely Client 100 and Client 200.

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)

Hi exports,
can u just brief me the whole procedure of ALE/IDOC(inbound & outbound), with all transactions and an example.Hai.
check this.
ale steps:
Application Linking and Enabling (ALE)
In this document you will learn the step-by-step procedure to setup the ALE system and go through a transaction between two clients
For our purpose we have two clients
namely Client 100 and Client 200.
System name is SAPKDC (FOR BOTH 100 AND 200 CLIENTS).
Distribution of Material Master Data Between two Systems
1) SETUP LOGICAL SYSTEM: (Note: Do Not Create This Step)
To do this follow the following steps
Execute SALE Transaction Code
On The Screen Click on Sending and Receiving Systems.
Then Click on Logical Systems.
Then Click Defining Logical Systems.
Click New Entries Button
(E.g. (LG100 sending system)
(LG200 receiving system))
Enter two logical system names and their description.
Save
Comeback to SALE Transaction Code screen.
2) Now you have to allocate the created logical systems to respective clients.( Note: Do Not Create This Step)
LG100 assign to client 100
LG200 assign to client 200
To do this, do the following.
Click Assigning Client to Logical System.
Ignore the message that comes up on the screen.
Select client 100
Click details button on the toolbar icon or press F2.
In the logical system box, enter LG100.
Click on the save Icon
Click the back button.
Now select client 200.
Click details icon or press f2.
In logical Systems box, enter LG200.
Save
Back.
Comeback to SALE Transaction Code screen.
3) Maintain RFC Destination: (TR.CODE:SM59)
(Note: Do Not Create This Step)
Click Create Button on the Screen
On the Screen Maintain RFC Destination i.e LG200.
Enter LG200 in RFC destination box.
Connection type is 3
Give a description for the RFC destination.
Maintain Technical Settings on Details on Technical Settings tab

Maintain Logon Details on Logon/Security tab.
Language: EN.
User: MMUSER200 (This is the logon for dist.)
Client : 200
Password: MM1234.
Save.
Click on create to do the above process for Client 200 in
The client 200 system.
4) Maintain Distribution Model.(BD64). (ABAPer role starts here)
Execute Maintain distribution model directly for
creating the model.
Click on change mode button on App tool bar of the Screen.
Create Model View pushbutton on App tool bar of the Screen.
A pop screen will appear in which you specify
Short text as Distribution for MM Data.
Enter Technical Name as LGMODEL.

Click Save.
Now I Created a Material in Client 100 , I want to transfer this data to Client 200.
6) Execute BD10 to transfer the material in which you specify
the material as LGMATERIAL and
message type as MATMAS (client100).
Then a Screen will be displayed in which it shows that
1 Master Idoc Generated .. Enter
1 Communication Idoc Generated..Enter.
*******LOGIN to Client 200.
7) Execute BD11 to get the material in which you specify
the material as LGMATERIAL and
message type as MATMAS (client200).
8) Execute Tr.code MM03 and give the material as LGMATERIAL
and see that the material is displayed as it was in Client 100.
If not follow these steps.
9) Execute Tr.code WE19( for rectification of errors in client200).
Specify the Existing Idoc Number and Executes it .
A Screen is displayed in which you specify the corresponding Function Module as INPUT_IDOC_MATMAS01 and execute it.
10) Execute Tr.code MM03 and give the material as LGMATERIAL
and see that the material is displayed as it was in Client 100.
Now the Material is correctly displayed in Client 200.
11) Monitoring of IDOCS.
Transaction Codes:
IDOC Display of Status: WE 05.
IDOC Date and Time: WE07.
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.

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)

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)

EDI:
Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

EDI FLOW :
Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

ABOUT ALE AND IDOC
Go through this hope u can understand .
ALE/IDOC
IDOC Programming
There are two processes in IDOC processing one is INBOUND PROCESS( IDOC coming to the system and its handling at various stages) and the other is OUTBOUND PROCESS( IDOC is send to other system . Separate ABAP programs are written for these 2 processes and different configuration settings are required for each one .Depending upon the trigeering mechanism different programming approaches are used.OUTBOUND PROGRAMS handle the IDOC creation and INBOUND PROGRAMS handle the inbound IDOC and the data trasfer from the IDOC to the database tables.
NEED FOR ABAP PROGRAMMING arises if
1)New IDOC was created
Depending upon the triggering mechanism i.e change pointer,message control
etc the programming technique changes and the type of process.
2)Existing IDOC was extended
User Exits are used to populate data in new segments added and to read them
back.
3)To enhance an exsiting process.
User Exits are used .
Basic structure of an OUTBOUND PROGRAM
The basic structure of all outbound programs is same. The CONTROL
record which is of TYPE EDIDC has to be filled. It contains important fields like
IDOCTP IDOC type
MESTYP Message Type
RCVPRN Recieving Partner (Destination)
RCVPRT Partner Type (it is LS i.e Logical System)
The DATA RECORD internal table which is of TYPE EDIDD has to be filled
in the same order as there are segments in the IDOC definition.
It has 2 important fields which are to be filled ,these are
SEGNAM Name of the segment
SEGDATA Data in the segment and can be upto 1000 bytes.This field
is corresponds to each data segment in the IDOC.
e.g.
DATA INT_EDIDD LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA W_SEGDATA LIKE zsegment "custom segment zsegment
INT_EDIDD-SEGNAM = 'ZSEGMENT'
W_SEGDATA-field1 = value "taken from some table
W_SEGDATA-field2 = value "taken from some table
INT_EDIDD-SEGDATA = W_SEGDATA
APPEND INT_EDIDD
This will fill the data record corresponding to the segment ZSEGMENT . For all
segments the sam steps will be repeated until all the data corresponding to all the
segments in the idoc is filled in the internal table of type EDIDD.
There is only one control record and can be multile data records in the idoc
structure.
Which data is to be extracted from the tables to be filled in EDIDD type internal table is determined in standalone programs from the objects which are specified in the selection screen and from the object key passed to the function module in case of message control and is taken from BDCP table in case of change pointers using function modules "CHANGE_POINTERS_READ"
In case of stand alone programs and function modules based on change pointers method the function module "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE" is used to send the IDOC to ALE layer for distribution ,in case of message control it is handled automatically by the RSNASTED program invoked by the message control.
OUTBOUND PROCESS AND OUTBOUND PROGRAM.
Outbound programs are used in outbound process to genearte IDOCs . There
purpose is to extract the data from the tables and to fill the IDOC data records
and the control record in the IDOC and pass ito the ALE layer for distribution to the recieving system .
Depending upon the triggering mechanism (how and when the outbound program will be started different techniques and interface is used for outbound program.
1)Message control
Application like PO(purchase order) creation use this technique , where the output type is linked to the application(Message control is a configurable cross application component which can be set in IMG .Such programs are created in the form of function modules and linked to the output type which is linked to the apllication.These have predefined interfaces.
In outbound programs(function module) that use message control the key of the
application document is passed to the function module whcig will read the data from the table depending upon the key passed(NAST structure) and fill the IDOC segemnts with the application data.The control record is also passed to the function module but is not fully filled, the rmaining fields are filled and the control is passed back to the calling program which is RSNASTED and is invoked by the
message control to process ALE and EDI output types and this program on recieving the IDOC data will create the physical IDOC in the system.
The parameteers passed to the function module are
IMPORTING PARAMETERS
OBJECT LIKE NAST
It contains documents key.
CONTROL_RECORD_IN LIKE EDIDC
It contains the partailly filled control record
EXPORETING PARAMETER
OBJECT_TYPE
CONTROL_RECORD_OUT LIKE EDIDC
TABLES
INT_EDID LIKE EDIDD
The internal table used to fill the data records in the same order as they exists in the IDOC.
The important parameters that should be filled in the custom function module are
CONTROL_RECORD_OUT and INT_EDIDD .The OBJK field of the structue NAST contains the key of the apllication document.
2)Stand alone programs
Generally used for Master Data transfer and as such depending upon the requirement can have different interfaces.The programs have a selection screen which has select options to select the objects, and parameters for specifying the recipient Logical System and the Message Type.
Data is selected based on the specified objects from the tables . and control record of type EDIDC is created and filled with important values like DIRECTION ,IDOCTP,RCVPRT,RCVPRN and MESTYP .
Data is filled in an internal table of TYPE EDIDD according to segment definitions
and in same order and the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called passing the control record and the internal table containg IDOC data and importing an internal table consisting of control records for each communication IDOCS created.
3)Change pointer
Change Pointer table is read and checked if changes were made to important fields , if so the outbound program will be triggered automatically , these have predefined interfaces
ALE/IDOC Transaction
SALE Area Menu for ALE configurations.It includes transactions for
Logical System definition and linking it to a client, Transactions for
RFC Destination and Port Definition Etc.
SM59 RFC Destination
Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
WE21 Port Definition.
There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
types of ports are important.
We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
WE57 This is used to assign the Inbound function module to the Message Type
and to the IDOC Type.
WE42 This is used to define the process Code for Inbound Processing.
BD95 Define Filter object type .We can specify the field and the table it belongs
to as a filter object .
BD59 Assignment of Filter object type to the Message Type .Here we create the
link between Filter object and the segment and the message type and the
segment Field.
BD50 Set message Type to reducible.
BD65 Define Mandatory Fields.
BD64 Distribution Model . Also known as Customer Distribution Model Used to
define all the messages that will be exchanged between remote systems
and the name of thes logical systems. Any filters can also be specified.
The model once created has to be distributed on every system which will
be communicating ,It can be maintained on only One system.
BD21 Creating IDOcs from change pointers.
This can be used to create IDOCs from change pointers for a particular
message LIKE MATMAS.
BD22 This can be used to delete change pointers.
BD87 Status Monitor. Idocs can be selected base on number of criteria and there
processing status can be seen in detail.
BD10 Material Master Data Distribution .
Based on Message MATMAS.
BD12 Customer Master Data Distribution .
Based on Message CREMAS.
BD14 Vendor Master Data Distribution
Based on Message DEBMAS .
BDFG Generate ALE Interface for BAPI.
Here we specify the Business Object and the BAPI Function module for
which the interface has to be created.
WE31 Segment Editor.
This is used to create segments. We create the segment type and
segment definition is automatically created by editor e.g. Z1DUMMY is
segment type and Z2DUMMY is the segment definition .We specify the
fields and the data elements these cp\orresponds to create segments.
WE30 IDOC Editor
It is used to create a new IDOC Type or IDOC Extension .We specify the
segments that will be addd to the IDOC type.
WE02/05 IDOC List.
Various selct options and parameters are provided to select IDOCs
depending on the date, direction , mesage type etc.
WE20 Partner Profile
Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
mentioned.
Steps relate to idoc
Creation of IDoc

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)

Hi Experts,
I have big doubts in ALE & Idocs
1.There are lot of function modules to create idocs.
So how to find the relavent function modules for our
requirement.Is there any criteria for this.
2.When will we go to create idocs through BAPI,when we
have both systems(sending & Receiving) are SAP.
3.In INBOUND Idocs processing program,do we need to
compulsary use BDC to update the data in conserned
tables?
Advanced Thanks for your repliesHi Murali,
u can findout the list of fm related to the concerned msgtypes in <b>WE57</b> tcode.
We have standard inbound function modules wich takes care of process/updation in inbound side. (Se37--> search by IDOC_INPUT* ).
if those doen't suits to ur req. u can develop ur custom one and use BDC to update.
Thanks

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.

ajay kodali.Hi,
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)

How to use ale/idocs in sap crm to transfer master and transactional data
hi all,
I am working on sap crm7.0 ehp1. I want to transfer my master and transactional data from crm development system to crm quality system here through idocs. I am aware of basic ale settings and successfully transfe the ztable data through idocs. But i am not able to find any proper step by step procedure for maste and transactional data in sap crm. Also sap ecc tcode NACE is not available here.
pls help..
regards,
kavita chaudharyKavita,
In CRM, Exchange Interface (XIF) ALE/IDOC is available to transfer master and transaction data. You can go through the following link for set up.

Passing Changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system
Hi all,
Please tell me how passing changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
For ex. in matmas05 extended for classification and inspection view and then created using 'CREATION'
related bapi.Do i also need to incorporate the changes by change related bapi or ir can be handled by change pointer concept.
Thanks.Hi Sanu
1) Please tell me how passing changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.
=> Looks like you have extended standard IDOC here. so you need to find User Exit or BADI for the Push program to populate the additional fields. Yes, it is possible thru change pointers as well.
1) Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
=> Yes, as suggested in 1 try finding User Exits/BADIs.

Data transfer using ALE/IDOC into XML.
Dear All,
I have to transfer FI document data (FB01) from the sap system ,convert it into XML and dump it in 1 of the file servers.I want to do this using ALE/IDOC.Is it possible to do the same and how.Similarly i want to do the same for Vendor and Customer master i.e sending the data in XML format.
Kindly Suggest how do i go about doin the same..Its very urgent.Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.In continuation:
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.
Data declaration statements
DATA: C_INVREV_SEGNAME(7) TYPE C VALUE 'Z1INVRV',
C_INVREV_MESTYPE(6) TYPE C VALUE 'ZINVRV',
C_INVREV_IDOC_TYPE(8) TYPE C VALUE 'ZINVRV01',
Z1INVRV LIKE Z1INVRV,
C_INVREV_DOCTYPE LIKE BKPF-BLART VALUE 'YY',
IDOC_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC,
T_COMM_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
IDOC_DATA LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
Move the document header into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_HEAD_TAB INTO DOC_HEAD.
ENDLOOP.
Move the document item data into a structure
LOOP AT DOC_ITEM_TAB INTO DOC_ITEM WHERE NOT ( LIFNR IS INITIAL ).
ENDLOOP.
Populate the IDoc segments field with the required data
CLEAR Z1INVRV.
Z1INVRV-LIFNR = DOC_ITEM-LIFNR. Store vendor number for filter
Z1INVRV-XBLNR = DOC_HEAD-XBLNR. Billing number
IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM = C_INVREV_SEGNAME. Segment name
IDOC_DATA-SDATA = Z1INVRV. Segment data
APPEND IDOC_DATA. Populate IDoc internal table
Move the control data info required for the distribution
IDOC_CONTROL-MESTYP = C_INVREV_MESTYPE.
IDOC_CONTROL-DOCTYP = C_INVREV_IDOC_TYPE.
Call the distribute function with the required parameters
CALL FUNCTION 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' IN UPDATE TASK

Figure 4: Outbound processing example code
NOTE:
For debugging purposes, use transaction WE05 (IDoc overview) to see check your IDoc status, or to see whether an IDoc was created/
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
Import parameters Reference field Opt Y/N
INPUT_METHOD BDWFAP_PAR-INPUTMETHD N
MASS_PROCESSING BDWFAP_PAR-MASS_PROC N
Export Parameters Reference field Opt Y/N
WORKFLOW_RESULT BDWFAP_PAR-RESULT N

IN_UPDATE_TASK BDWFAP_PAR-UPDATETASK N
CALL_TRANSACTION_DONE BDWFAP_PAR-CALLTRANS N
Table Parameters Reference field Optional Y/N
IDOC_CONTRL EDIDC
IDOC_DATA EDIDD
IDOC_STATUS BDIDOCSTAT
RETURN_VARIABLES BDWFRETVAR
SERIALIZATION_INFO BDI_SER
Exceptions
WRONG_FUNCTION_CALLED
Example code
The code displayed below does the following:

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.
Hope this will help you,
If you want me to explain more, you can give me your email id.
