Create documents in SAP R/3 through XI

Hi!
I'm new to XI, and I have the following scenario:
An external application needs to post documents in SAP R/3 by internet, sending the information needed to post the documents in XML format. It also needs to receive information if the documents were successfully posted or not.
What do I need in XI to make this possible? Do I need anything more than XI? I keep hearing
Thanks a lot!
Nuno Umb.

<i>Independently of the type of application and format of the data, the Source System may communicate with XI directly by internet, right?</i>
Source Systems communicate with XI through some type of adapters/proxies. So whether do you want to adapter-less communcation or adapter communication, and if it is adapter communication, what type of adpaters are used for communication depends on your source system and type of message/protocol.
To answer your question, you can defintely send your XML docs to R/3 through XI over internet.
What adapter do u need to use to send xml docs to XI depends on, once again your sender system / message type/ protocol you want to use.

DMS Document upload: does it pass through sap DMS ?

Dear All,
We have a question concerning the transmission of documents from the client to DMS and the Content Server: does the document need to pass through the sap server ?
Document upload (create document CV01N)
Does the document go directly from the client to the Content server OR does it pass through the sap DMS before to be stored in the CS ?
Document download (read document CV03N)
Does the document go directly from the CS to the client OR does it pass through the sap DMS server ?
This could be interesting to know for network performances.
best regards,

Hi Gurus
is the cache server a default funtionality from the content server or any configuration is required from our part.
is that the cache server acts as the RAM of our system?
please explain the partitioning or biferfication of the Content server, as you told
content server is divided into storage catagories and this in turn in to content repositories,
please clarify below points,
1)any server or PC can be made as Content server by insatalling the content server CD if iam right ?
2) Practical and funtional benifits of partitioning content server into content repositories is it for authorization and storing data by naming convection or can it also help in copiying data from a specific content repository if needed, ( is content repositories a logical partition or practical partition like B,C,D, F drives of our PC hard disk)
3) can /should there be multiple content server installation for a particular (production) client.
4) Can Archiving be done say by creating a separate content repository inside the same Content server, or is it mandatory to have a separate archiving server itself,
please give some idea with examples
Thanks and regards
Kumar

Creating document through cv01n

Hi all,
I want to know how to create document through CV01N.For attaching CAD Drawing to the material for bom,how should i create document? What are the mandatory data we need, to create document? pl can anyone explain in detail.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Dear Ranganayahi,
1.There are various document types created in standard SAP,but if you require a new document
type,then goto SPRO>SAP Reference IMG->Cross application components--->Document
Managment->Control Data->Define document types.
For Eg,Say supoose if you want to create a Document using CV01N,you have to select a document
type,Say you have created a new document type - CDD,so using this document type you have to create
a document where in you will attach the drwaing.
2.Then for this document type you need number ranges,that you can define in OD00,it can be internal or
external number range.
3.Then the created document through CV01N can be assigned in the BOM and you have to select the
item category as D.
Refer these links if required.

How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?

How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?
Our company has recently implemented ByD, but we can't figure out how to create a commercial invoice for shipping/customs purposes. I know that the German version of ByD allows for "Export Declarations" which is pretty much the same as a commercial invoice, but the U.S. version doesn't have this document/function.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
By the way, a commercial invoice contains:
1. The shipperu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and tax identification number.
   2. The recipientu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
   3. The buyeru2019s information (the person to whom the goods are sold by the seller) if different from the recipient: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
   4. The shipment tracking number, air waybill number or bar-code label number.
   5. An accurate description of the contents in your shipment that includes the following details:
What the product is
What material the product is made of
What the productu2019s Schedule B or HTS code is
What the productu2019s intended use is
What the productu2019s country of manufacture is
What the productu2019s parts or serial numbers are (if applicable)
What the productu2019s quantity and unit of measure are
What the productu2019s value is, per unit and in total
Thanks,
Chris

IDoc to Create Shipment Document in SAP

Hi,
I want to create the shipment document in SAP via EDI message from freight forwarder and subsequently update the shipment document(VT02N) statuses via EDI like planned/loaded/shipment end etc....
I am reasearching on the Idoc type for that...I found SHPMNT03 etc could be used to create/change document but I don't know where the Transportation planning point field exists in the Idoc type. Please help me to how could I create the shipment document...
I am able to create the shipment document using TPSSHT01...but not sure whether it would be good as it's used with TPS and we don't have any external TPS. We just want to create shipment document in SAP based on freight forwarder edi messages 856 I believe
I am new to EDI
Thanks
Chil

We used a program to create the IDoc but I don't see a transportation planning point anywhere in it. I think it should be picked up automatically from the deliveries and I wouldn't fixate on that. Here is the code fragment, but you don't need to fill in all those fields:
e1edt20-shtyp = '0003'.
      e1edt20-signi = i_table-route.
      e1edt20-exti1 = i_table-route.
      e1edt20-exti2 = i_table-driver_num.
      e1edt20-tpbez = i_table-driver_name.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1edt20.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2EDT20001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
      e1adrm4-partner_q = 'OTP'.
      e1adrm4-partner_id = '0001'.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1adrm4.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2ADRM4001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
      e1adre4-extend_q = '305'.
      e1adre4-extend_d = '0001'.
      i_edidd-sdata = e1adre4.
      i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
      i_edidd-segnam = 'E2ADRE4001'.
      APPEND i_edidd.
    e1edl20-vbeln = i_table-vbeln.
    i_edidd-sdata = e1edl20.
    i_edidd-docnum = w_docnum.
    i_edidd-segnam = 'E2EDL20'.
    APPEND i_edidd.
From what I remember, this IDoc worked rather strangely and I had to fill in some fields for no obvious reason (e.g. both e1edt20-signi and e1edt20-exti1 when SIGNI is really the one we needed). At some point, I just tried filling in all the possible fields to get past errors. Like I said, it just takes some trial and error.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to that system anymore and have no further information. Also we didn't do any shipment changes. You might want to search in ABAP forum. Good luck.

Creating documents in shared folder of SAP mail

Hi all,
I would like to create documents in a shared folder of my sap mail. I know it can be done by method create of object SOFM. I just don't know how to set up this method. What parameters are needed and how to do it correctly.
Thx for helping,
Yoolb

Hi Yoolb,
Are you trynig to do this within a Workflow? If your need is to create the document from a custom program, you can use the function module SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1.

How to create switch documents in SAP CRM?

Hi,
I'm trying to create switch documents in SAP CRM. I'm using method CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG=>CREATE_SWITCH_MESSAGE but one of the parameters is CONTEXT...
Someone knows how this parameter should be filled?
Thanks,
André

Hi Andre,
the class CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG is used by the classes of the utilities process framework to create a switch doc in the context of a process. The context parameter is a reference to the process context. The class CL_CRM_IU_PR_CNTR_START, for example, uses CL_CRM_ISU_ORDER_DEREG in the ON_POD_CHANGED method to create a switch doc.
While it is possible to set up a process context in a custom program the real question is what are you trying to achieve? Maybe it is easier to solve your requirement in the context of the process framework that to start from scratch.
Are you aware of the concepts underlying the utilities process framework? If not have a look at the following documents:
Process Framework in Contract Management - SAP CRM for Utlilities
https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001113322009E/Utilities_Prozess_FW_en.pdf (available at SAP Service Marketplace -> Solutions -> SAP for Utilities -> SAP for Utilities - Product Information -> SAP CRM for Utilities -> Cookbooks&Guidelines -> Utilities_Prozess_FW_en.pdf )

Unable to display customs document in SAP GTS

Hello,
I am using SAP GTS 7.2 Compliance services. SPL and Embargo services are working well (I am not using License determination).
Indeed, when I save a sales order in ERP, it is effectively checked for compliance, as I receive a message when it is blocked by GTS..
In GTS, I can check that concerning business partners are effectively blocked, using:
"Display Blocked Business Partners" and "Display Business Partners with Embargo Situation".
But I cannot display any customs document in SAP GTS, using transaction /SAPSLL/CUHD_DISPLAY (Display all documents) or SAPSLL/CON_BLOCKED_DOCS_EXP (Display blocked documents).
I get the following error message "No data was found for the selection criteria specified".
As I understood, SAP GTS performs the compliance checks not on ERP documents but on corresponding GTS customs document. Thus I guess they are effectively created somewhere! If it was not the case, I guess the process should not work.
When I look in the audit trail of SPL for documents, I can see all the SPL checks that have been performed. Looking in the corresponding table "/SAPSLL/SPLAUD", I can even find the numbers of the different customs documents...
But there is nothing in table "/SAPSLL/CUHD", where they should be copied... The only entries I found concern biling documents that were transferred for customs purposes...
Could you please help me on this matter?
Many thanks,

Hi Sameer,
Thank you for your fast answer. I checked in the debug mode creating a breakpoint at statement RFC and it effectively stops at RFC /SAPSLL/API_6800_SYNCH.
But when I check the log in transaction SLG1, nothing appears concerning /SAPSLL/API_6800_SYNCH.
I think the customs document is effectively created in GTS as I can see it has a number assigned in the audit trail for SPL screening. And compliance services work.
Though when going through the transaction of displaying all documents in GTS there is nothing. Table "/SAPSLL/CUHD" is empty (except some billing documents that were transferred for customs purposes).
This is really weird... Anyway, thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,

Hi Wei,
based on your description I would kindly ask you to check if the flag 'USE KPRO' is set for the document type 'DRW'. Because as storage category you hand over the value 'SAP-SYSTEM' and this is not a KPRO storage category. So if the 'USE KPRO' flag is set then this original won't be displayed in CV03N.
Is there maybe a difference in display between transaction CV02N and CV03N?
Best regards,
Christoph

Problem in committing a new document in third party repository through Ente

Hi all,
I am trying to create a document in third party repository through enterprise portal GUI. The steps I am following are:
     1. I go to repository integrated with the Enterprise portal.
     2. Then go to Folder -> New -> HTML File.
     3. Here it asks me to enter Name of the document and the Contents of the document.
     4. Then Click on Save
I am trying to implement this functionality by using RF (Repository Framework).
I have implemented createResource() method NameSpaceManger.java class. The signature of this class is:
     NamespaceManager extends AbstractSubManager implements INamespaceManager,IMutableNamespaceManager{
The Code:
if ((d instanceof IResourceCreateDescriptor) || (d instanceof ICollectionCreateDescriptor)) {
          IRid parent = d.getDestinationDescriptor().getParentCollectionRid();
          String name = d.getDestinationDescriptor().getChildName();
name = UriCodec.Decode(name);
ACEPHandle handle = (ACEPHandle)this.repositoryManager.lookup(parent);
          ACEPNode node = handle.getNode();
if (!node.isCollection()) {
               throw new ResourceNotCollectionException(parent,
                    "parent is not a collection!");
IAccessContext context = AccessContextFactory.getInstance().getContextOrNullIfUnavailable();
com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser = context.getUser();
com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser epUser = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
ResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(epUser);
RID rid = RID.getRID(node.getRid().getPath()RID.PATH_SEPARATORname);
IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid,resourceContext);
IContent content= resource.getContent();
InputStream iStream = content.getInputStream();
byte[] byteArray = new byte[51200];
          int bytesRead = -1;
          try{
          while ( (bytesRead = iStream.read(byteArray, 0,51200)) != -1) {
               byteArray = new byte[51200];
          }catch(IOException e){
The Error I am getting in the logs is:
<b>ContentRetrieval: Unexpected HTTP status 500 Internal Server Error: HRESULT [0x8004022f]</b>
Please advice me the right way to proceed further.

Documents which have not flowed through to FI from Purchasing

Does a Transaction exist which will display the documents that have not flowed through to Finance from Purchasing? Similar to VFX3 in Sales.
For example, a MIRO that has a wrong posting date and the document has been saved but has not flowed through to Finance.

You may have to create a report on SAP query, linking RBKP (the incoming invoice table) with BKPF. In BKPF table the invoice document and the fiscal year are concatenated and resides in the field AWKEY as the reference no.
If, for any combination of invoice and fiscal year you do not find a value in BKPF, this could be construed as those that do not have FI document generated.

Attaching Documents within SAP

Hi Everyone,
When attaching documents to SAP, either through journal entries or sales orders or PO's, is there a best practice to use such as using Services for Objects -> Create -> Create Attachment or Store Business Document? Do they both archive? I noticed that I can't use Business Document everywhere since it greyed out such as in the PO. Is there a reason for it? Just looking for general ideas as to what to do and which approach would cause the least amount of space being taken from our server.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Pete

Pete,
I am not aware if a BP exists, and believe a seperate serve/repositories will be configured to handle archiving documents. Please check with you basis team.
Please check the setting SAP NetWeaver >General Settings> Application Server> Basis Services > ArchiveLink
