Custom IDOC Creation from scratch

Dear Experts
This is the first time I am working on an ALE/EDI request from the client from scratch.
This request is for establishing an outbound
data connection to FedEx for the outbound shipping (from FedEx) process. The IDOCs will then be process via a xyz server(our side) and sent to a fedex abcd system. The data connection between xyz and abc has already been established.
The tasks for modifying SAP for the outbound connection are as follows:
1. Create a new IDOC partner for fedex
2. Create new outbound IDOC with trigger points as follows:
Trigger u2013 For plants 1000 & 2000: Upon creation of an outbound delivery coming from a particular storage location, send the new IDOC to the fedex partner for the corresponding order. This IDOC will be used by fedex to determine the receiving party for the materials and creating the appropriate paper work, such as packing slips, customs invoices, etc.
Can some one please tell me the steps required to accomplish this on the configuration side and the development needed (posting program etc)
Theoretically I know the steps of ALV but I am seeking guidance from someone who has done this in real time because I don't know how many of those steps would be necessary for this.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Sameer

Step by step custom IDOC creation

Hi,
Can someone give me step by step to create a custom IDOC completely from scratch along with its real tim scenarion ?

hi Tushar,
check it out
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

PROBLEM IN CUSTOM IDOC CREATION

Hi Friends,
                I'm facing a problem in custom idoc creation plz try to assist me
1.As per the information i have i'm creating segment in we31
for cremas01 idoc.But when i enter the name for segment i'm getting message "Name range Voilation particular name which i had given is not permitted in customer system?
Plz clarify this,and are there any formalities which i should look for before creating custom idoc?
Good answers will be rewarded.
                                                                          Regards,
                                                                           Vinod.

The Problem might be.... with the naming of the segment.
Standard segments should be created with 'E1' and all the custom segments are created using 'Z1' and the name with 8 characters long only is permitted.
Reward Points if useful.

Format tree creation "from scratch" in PMW

Hi,
We are using two banks, who have different requirements regarding the Tax-id prefix in the Batch Header record of he US ACH DME files. Bank 1, with whom we are live, uses the "1" prefix to the Taxid, which is generated by RFFOUS_T. Our pre-existing ACH transmission to bank 1 (via RFFOUS_T) needs to remain in place.
Bank 2 does not accept the "1" prefix. We hope that PMW can be used to create ACH output files with a different tax id prefix for bank 2 - we would use a different payment method for bank 2.
Transaction DMEE however does not indicate the presence of a format tree for Country US, corresponding classical Payment Medium RFFOUS_T for US ACH payments.
I have the following questions:
- Is the presence of a format tree in DMEE for US ACH, which was pre-delivered by SAP , the prerequisite for the usability of PMW, or is it possible to create such format tree in DMEE completely from scratch. Where can I find information how to create a format tree "from scratch"?
- Has anybody had a similar problem and resolved it in a different manner?
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
It is possible to create a format tree in DMEE from scratch. I have done it for my client. Configuration for payment medium format can be done to indicate event modules which will then perform some customer specific tasks at a certain event during the file generation, like processing the header record or processing the transaction record etc.
Also, within DME mapping tool you can also use developed functional modules that could retreive some data which
is not available during the payment run.
When doing the mapping in DME tool, check the cross mappnig
between the structures available for DME and payment run tables
(i.e. FPAYP, FPAYH etc.. For details, choose help when you are
inside the DMEE.

IWeb theme creation (from scratch) documentation?

Is there any documentation available from Apple or other sources that describe how to create an iWeb theme from scratch (without modifying an existing theme)? I am an experienced web developer, and a client wants me to create a custom theme for use in iWeb.
I've done several searches, and thus far, have only found instructions for modifying an existing template.

Is there any documentation available from Apple or other sources that describe how to create an iWeb theme from scratch (without modifying an existing theme)? I am an experienced web developer, and a client wants me to create a custom theme for use in iWeb.
not until apple decides to.
iweb templates are xml, and apple does not provide the xml schema for them.
best you can do is modding the existing xml template:

Sun Java Enterprise Portal Desktop creation from scratch

Please see below our request.
1.     What I need?
We are expert in J2EE and relative technologies. We just want a support which helps them to move in a right direction to adopt and excel with SUN JES. Basically, this document expects a guidance to show right direction in creating SUN JES Desktop. Below are the bullet points which try to explain the actual expectation from the response documentation:
     Sun JES Desktop: We require hands on documentation which would assist us in creating a desktop from scratch. This documentation should unveil step by step demonstration of Sun portal desktop creation. The document can assume that all the components with SUN JES are already been installed with default sample desktops.
     Replica of existing Directory server to new Directory server: We would like to understand the procedure involve in creating a replica of existing directory server. We have already exported LDIF file from the existing directory server. But when we are importing it to the directory server installed at our local machine, it is prompting us with an error message that schema for the importing content not available. This suggests that we have not created schema at our local machine. Therefore, we would require an assistance to export all the content from an existing directory server to new directory server along with the schema.
     Change Deployment: It should explain all the required steps involved for re-deployment of the content available with the portal. In other words, if there is a change made in the content of the portal (any JSP, JAR or configurable file) then what are the steps required to re-deploy and reflect the changes on portal?
2.     Current Status
2.1.     SUN JES Installation and Configuration
We are through with initial setup of SUN JES. We have installed entire required component on our local machine (Windows XP) with default configuration for sample desktop which includes:
     Sun Application server
     Sun Directory server
     Sun Access Manager
     Sun Portal server (Instance created in web server)
     Sun Instant messaging
     Sun Web server
The setup also includes configuration of sample portal (myPortal) which has some desktops already created like enterprise, developer and community desktop.
2.2.     Component understanding
We have gone through almost all the documents available under SUN documents. But we felt those were rather high level understanding documents. We have basic understanding of the all the components which come up with SUN JES.
3.     Desktop Example
As we are very new to the SUN JES, we expect something which is very basic to understand. In other words, when we start with any Java or programming language, we use to have Hello World short of program. Similarly, we expect a very simple desktop which just assist in learning steps involved in creation of desktop from scratch. Here, we can assume that all the required components are already being installed and running. Let us take an example:
Suppose we have 4-5 users who belong to different groups. These groups have some defined policies (Something that we use to create with access manager). On the basis of the groups, they are allowed to access the sites available with the portal.
User - A, B, C, D
Group I, II
User-Group Mapping
A, D -> I
B, C -> II
Desktop contents:
Page displaying URL for google.com and myhcl.in
Group I On click of google.com, it should display the page in channel. Whereas, on the click of myhcl.in, it should display a message, quoting You are not authorized to view this page.
Group II - On click of myhcl.in, it should display the page in channel. Whereas, on the click of google.com, it should display a message, quoting You are not authorized to view this page.
Again, in all we just require a very basic desktop, which helps us in understanding the procedure involve in creating a SUN portal desktop. We think that this exercise would cover and help us in understanding all the nitty-gritty involved for learning SUN JES. Please feel free to add anything which you think will help us in learning SUN portal.
Please let me know if anything unclear.

Hello,
I am not sure how much you are comfortable with profile creation for the different users.
while user provisioning, if you are aware of kind of user and can assign the profile then this could be easily done.
what if you don't show the link for unauthorised user instead of showing message that "You are not authorised....."
create two different profile with two different channel having links and assign appropriate profile to the users.

IDOC creation from a flat file

We currently receive a large volume of invoices from freight companies that move our product from point A to B.
I will receive a file from the vendor with 10 fields. The fields are BOL, shipdate, shipfrom_pt, shipto_pt, volume, rate, surcharge, total, invoice_no, invoice_dt.
I may also get them to plug in the Vendor number on creation.
Currently, our staff uses paper invoice with the BOL & shipdate to locate the PO in our system, then lookup the PO, and if the total in SAP matches to the total on the paper invoice, it is marked for payment (that is the short of it).
We have eVision already in place which I use to build an iDOC for our Utility bills we receive. But these occur once a month, whereas we may receive 50+ invoices from a freight vendor.
Do I have enough information to create an iDOC in SAP, in which SAP will know how to locate and reconcile? The invoic01 documentation is extensive and examples are nill. Help on identifying the segments, fields and values necessary to generate an iDOC.
The alternative is to import the file into SAP and write an ABAP pgm, with BAPI's to search and create the invoice.
I wanted to go with iDOC as it is SAP's proprietary form for handling inbound records.
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
In my opinion, you must have a PO Number for Invoice if you want to use standard functionality. You will probably need to create IDOC using an ABAP program which reads this file and search for PO based on the information available to you. I also notice that you are missing material number as well, how do you match the item number in the PO ?
I don't see a way aroung without writing an ABAP program to handle this logic, but you can still use IDOC ( which comes with the standard processing logic and that is a big advantage ) so that you need to write only the PO matching logic.
or if you are not inclined to write a separate program for uploading file into SAP and formatting IDOC, you can write your own process code (FM)for INVOICE01. Inside this process code (FM), you can put your PO matching logic and then call standard FM (process code). This is what I usually do.

Sanjeev

Sender / Receiver on DEBMAS customer IDOCs mapped from XI

Hello XI experts,
I'm hoping you can help me resolve a question.
In our system, customers are maintained in an AFS ERP system. They are then distributed to MDM, via XI, using DEBMDM messages.
We have a second (Retail) ERP system that also needs the customer data. An XI colleague has created a mapping, so that the DEBMDM IDOC from AFS is mapped to DEBMAS and ADRMAS IDOCs, which are sent to AFS.
Functionally this works fine: the customer data from AFS goes to both MDM and retail as expected.
The question is on the IDOCs arriving in Retail. They have the same logical system for the Sender and Receiver, which is the Retail logical system. So it looks like the IDOCs have been created in Retail and then processed, rather than being created in XI. However in XI, in transaction IDX5, we can see IDOC numbers. I'm a developer with no XI experience, so I may be misunderstanding how XI works.
- Does XI actually create an IDOC locally and then send it out?
- Or would XI be calling some kind of RFC in my Retail system to build the IDOC there?
- If the IDOC is built locally, can anyone suggest why I am getting the sending partner to be the same as the receiver?
Even if the sending and receiving systems are set in the XI mapping, the values still get overwritten with the Retail logical system.
Many thanks, Roger

Roger,
In the Receiver IDoc Adapter , 3 options are available.
Apply Cntrol Record Values From payload.
When you select this option, the values of these fields are filledfrom the idoc payload,
+MESCOD
· MESCFT
· TEST
· EXPRSS
· STD
· STDVRS
· STDMES
· SNDSAD
· SNDLAD
· RCVSAD
· RCVLAD
· REFINT
· REFGRP
· REFMES
· STATUS
· DIRECT
· OUTMOD
· CREDAT
· CRETIM+
Take Sender From Payload
Selecting this fills the values for Sender System with values of SNDPRN and SNDPRT.
Take receiver from payload
Receiver Partner Names values are filled from the payload with values of RCVPRN and RCVPRT.
These are the only values from which you can pass the value from payload, rest of the fields are filled by default.

IDOC creation from flat file.

Hello Friends.
I need to create a custom program for posting goods receipts for a purchase order.
I think a custom program needed to achieve this task because i need to do mappings prior to create an IDOC. Now using a flat file what are the function modules or steps involved. can any one of you able to help me on this.
Thanks

Sorry, I'm trying to remember the name of the function module I used....I had a similar situation...I had a flat file which I processed and constructed an IDOC which I then saved as an incoming IDOC using the FM.... Because we had our settings (standard SAP process code, standard SAP FM IDOC processor, etc.) set to automatically fire off the IDOC processing, the result was that I read the file, saved the IDOC and SAP then immediately grabbed and posted the IDOC. I will do a little search for the FM I used to create the IDOC in my own system and get back to you if you think that would be helpful. Sorry for my memory lapse....

JRC - Report Creation from scratch

I created a report using the RCAPI sample.   Now I need to add 40 database fields. Do I have to set the co-ordinates of where each field will go using setLeft and setWidth? Is this the only way to avoid the fields being cramped next to each other.
This is the example from the samples
     boFieldObject.setLeft(9000);
     boFieldObject.setTop(1);
     boFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
     boFieldObject.setHeight(226);
Thanks in advance.

// Add all the database fields to the report document
               for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_FIELDS; i++) {
                    IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
                    FieldObject fieldObject = new FieldObject();
                    fieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
                    fieldObject.setDataSource(field.getFormulaForm());
                    IReportObject rep = (IReportObject) fieldObject;
                    IObjectFormat objformat = rep.getFormat();
                    objformat.setEnableCanGrow(true);
                    objformat.setHorizontalAlignment(Alignment.from_int(1));
                    rep.setFormat(objformat);
                    rep.setLeft(LEFT_POSITION);
                    rep.setWidth(1000);
                    LEFT_POSITION = LEFT_POSITION + 1000 + 50;
                    ISection section = boReportClientDocument
                              .getReportDefController().getReportDefinition()
                              .getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);

Reading Custom IDOC from xMII

Hi all,
I'm trying to read a custom IDOC coming from ECC system, with no result. I'm able to read standard IDOC but it seems there are some kind of limitations reading custom IDOC.
IDOC on the ECC side are setted up in the same way, but when I send the IDOC in a Z transaction from ECC the IDOC is not visibile both in the xMII Message Monitor and in the xMII Messages Without Rules.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks.
Regards,
Roberto

Roberto,
This has come up several times in the last year or so. So far in my memory, that problem always turned out to be some configuration setting with the custom IDoc. Do a search on IDoc or custom going back a year (maybe more) to see the issue others found when experiencing problems with custom IDocs.

Mike

Custom process code and FM for custom IDoc...

Hello Experts,
I created a custom IDoc based from ARTMAS05 IDoc. This is because we only need 3 segments and
the standard idoc(Artmas05) contains so many segments that we need.
Now, will I create a custom process code and FM for this? how do I go about this?
Thank you guys and take care!

Hello,
Here are the Steps that we need to be following while creating a Custom Process Code with Custom Function Module. ( Since the Segments to be handled are very Less, I am recommending that you go for a Custom Function Module).
1. Go to SE37 Create a Function Module. Please ensure to Create it with the IMPORT / EXPORT /TABLES parameters exactly in the way that they exist in any Standard SAP Inbound FM (Refer to IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS for example).
2. Once our FM is Ready (Need not be Complete with the Code to go ahead with the Process Code Creation) and Active, the next Step is to Create an Entry in the Transaction Code BD51 where we will register the Function Module.
3. Next, we'll have to go to T-Code WE57 where we'll have to make an entry for the Function Module with the IDoc Type & Message Type.
4. Finally, go to WE42 and Create a New Process Code and assign the Function Module and the Message Type.
NOTE 1 : The Process Code is, as we know, Client Dependent. So, once you create a Process Code, we need to have it migrated to the Testing Environment to Start & Carry Out Testing.
NOTE 2: If Step 2 & 3 are missing, then we'll not be able to assign the Function Module in WE42 while Creating Process Code.
Hope it was helpful.
Thanks and Regards,

IDOC Creation with message control

I have created an IDoc using standard FM ' MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' (without message control) for my own table. Now, I want to create IDoc with message control to send data from SAP to SAP. Can anyone please tell me the steps to create IDoc for my own database table and program to be created.
Thanks in advance.

Pankaj,
You can access the following link to understand Custom IDOC creation flow.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Step+by+Step+procedure+for+creation+of+IDOC
In The Process code FM, you can call Z-API to update your own database table & create a program to trigger & process the IDOCs.
Further, a report program can be created to trigger/monitor IDOCs.
