Data Transfer Using ALE/IDOC

Dear All,
          I have to implement an ALE\IDOC scenario and i am totally new to this.I have a web based software from where i need to pull data into SAP.
           The moment billing takes place in my web based software i have to pull the required data and generate an accounting document number in SAP using transactions FB01 er FB60 and FB70 depending on vendor or customer Invoice which means i need to have my vendor and customer master data in place before this.The IDOC which i would be using is FIDCCP01.My question is:
The web based software can generate both an XML and EDI file into a domain from where SAP can fetch it. Now,
1. If they can generate an EDI file which format should it be in?
2.If EDI file generation is possible through that web based software its structure should be exactly the same as my IDOC structure right?
3. What would then be the process on SAP side to pick that   EDI file data?
4. Does the transaction WE16 help in picking up an XML file format or an EDI format and convert it automatically into an IDOC and how do we go about it?
5. Now when this idoc is going to generate accounting documents against those billing documents if the customer or vendor does not exist is there a way by which i can first create this vendor\customer in the master and then continue using some other abap tool?
6. Could an email be generated automatically when teh document is posted?
I know these are a lot of questions but i really need an answer to this.
If u have an answer my alternate email id is [email protected]
Awaiting your reply shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

1. XML Format
2. Message type INVOIC01 or INVOIC02 format
3. You need to write a Z program to read data from that path and use FM IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE to convert that XML file to IDOC.
4. Use transaction we60 with above message type it will all help you need. we16 is for testing it could not be used for a solution.
5. In your Z program check before the XML is ubmitted for processing whether the customer exist by select on KNA1 if not use FM BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE to create and same for vendor.
6. You need to implement workflow for this.....
Reward points it this helps

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

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

calls the transaction via a BDC call; and
updates the IDoc status according to the BDC error status.

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.

Data Transfer using LSMW IDOC processing with multiple segments

we need to post the document data (Header structure, BP item structure, G/L item structure..etc) using LSMW IDOC processing.
is it possible to transfer data for all these structures (Segments) in single file?

Thanks for the reply.
I am assuming when we are specifying the file in LSMW we are going to give the option to generate the file with include all structures.
could you please elaborate further is there any thing specific we need to do while configuring LSMW to get the file for all segments in the IDOC with field names which we are going to populate with data, so that we can use it for data transfer.
any help document will be helpful.

Business Partner Transfer using ALE/IDOCS

Dear Gurus,
I am using S.R.M. 5.0 system. I am encountering scenario of transferring the business partners from S.R.M sytem to C project which is again add-on module provided by SAP. I have created Distribution Model and have assigned the message type BUS1006 (message type for Business Partner). But I am not able to find the transaction to send the data across to CPD system like BD10 is for transferring material in R/3 system.I have also observerd that the dala eleement of the business partner has got change pointer attached to it. I have got two questions.
1. Is the method that I followed is correct to transfer data? I did it by seeing PPT .If yes than what is the t-code to transfer the business partner equivalent to BD10.
2. In case of change pointers begin activated how should I transfer data? if any documentation is there that will be helpful?
Thanks and Regards,
Saurabh Chhatre
Thanks and Regards,
Saurabh Chhatre

Hi Sergio,
When I tried BUPA_SEND , I came across another transaction BUPA_CALL_FU.
This transaction allows us to select function modules that needs to be called for sending the business partner from S.R.M 5.0.Have you got any idea which are the mandatory F.M's that needs to be selected. I am asking this because there are few F.M's which do not exist in the system.
Or have do you have any idea how we can create these F.M's. As these are standard I am thinking it must be done through customization.
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,

Issue in Data transfers using ALE for E-Recruiting standalone system

Dear Experts,
We have an issue in data transfers using ALE. We are having standalone system where E-Recruiting is maintaind seperately and the version is EHP5.
When we configured iDoc in Sandbox and its working fine. But when it comes to Dev and Quality servers this is not working fine.
we have created iDocs using the following filters.
For Object P: Infotypes 0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, 0006, 0024, 0105.
For Objects O,S: 1032, Subtype: 0010
For Object: 1001, Subtype: A003, A008, A012, B007
For Object O: 1001, Subtype: A002, B002, B003, B012, Tyoe of related object: O,S
For Objects: C, O, S, Subtype: 1000, 1002, 1028
For Object:C, Subtype: 1001, Subtype: A007
When we do the data transfers in Sandbox using PFAL it is transferring the data properly.
But when we do the same iin Dev and Quality servers we are not able to do it and gettign 52, 51 errors.
Here we are facing a strange issue. For some Users when we transfer data it is transferring data but with 52 error messgae.
For some users I am getting 51 error where i could not transfer any data.
For some users, when we tranfer O, S, and P related data is moving but getting mostly 52 error and all the relationships are not moving here for O,S and properly. But P related CP, BP and NA are getting created successfully.
It is happening only in Dev and Quality server and that too some users are able to get transferred but not all.
Where will be the issue? How can we resolve this?
Any help will be appreciable.
Thank you in advance.

Issue in transporting changed material type using ALE-IDOC

Hi All,
I am sending the material master data from one system to another using ALE-IDOC.The issue is that teh material type is not getting sent from one system to another after changing the material type.I mean the changes in material type are not getting updated.I will be indeed thankful if anyone can guide me resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
Not all the fields that are changed in material master are sent in the Idoc. Material type is one such field.
Create change pointer on some other field ex. net value or material desc. and transfer the material type changes under it.

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.

Using change pointers master data changes flowsfrom SAP HR to SAP CRM .

then activate that massege type in bd50.
and after that one u have to activate chaneg pointers globally with bd61.
if u did these thigns if u made any chnegs to those fileds that witll be reflected in the next system

Does the data transfer used in the back up in time capsule included in the data allowance from my service provider?

Is the data transfer used in the backup with airport time capsule included in the data allowance with my service provider?

I am using Ethernet cable to connect TC to the modem. I am only backing up my mac book air within range of the TC. So I guess it will be OK from your reply. As a trial I did interrupt the back up by turning off the TC, disconnecting the Ethernet cable, turning TC back on. The mac would not connect wirelessly with the TC without the Ethernet connection.
It is not using ISP .. absolutely for sure. Well 99.999%.. absolute tends to be only in maths.
But you did the test wrongly.. I said to disconnect the modem.. during the backup.. not turn off the TC.. obviously once interrupted the TC will not work again until everything is plugged in.. but it will work even bridged for a short time.. just unplug the WAN port from the modem.
The test is moot now.. as I can give you a 99.999% promise it is not using ISP.

Problem in creating Invoice receipt using ALE-IDoc?

Hi all,
I implemented the auto creation of invoice receipt when billing document created using ALE-Idoc. It is working fine in PRD also.
But today , there occurred a problem in this . The problem is when the billing document is created the Invoice receipt is not creating directly , but a job is creating. But till yesterday it created the invoice receipt immediately as we required.
So please help me on changing the creation of invoice receipt directly from current job creation?
No configuration has been changed , but my user tried to create the more than one billing document at a time.so i think this is the reason for it. But now though he is creating only one billing document , it is creating a job.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Lsmw using ALE/IDOC Method

Hi Team,
I am trying for lsmw using ALE/IDOC Method.
I have defined the segment type, message type, defined a basic type and defined a partner profile of the receiver system.
When i try to execute the Start Idoc Generation step in generating LSMW creation steps. I am getting below error "No partner exists with the nae ", type".
Please help me in resolving the warining.
No partner exists with the name '', type ''
Regards
Sunil
Edited by: sunil kumar on Jul 30, 2009 11:26 AM

Hi,
for LSMW , you have to create partner profile type as 'US'.
once the partner profile created in we20,
goto tcode lsmw , in menu select "Settings -> Inbound Idoc Processing"
maintain FilePort, partner type and Partner number and then press Activiate Idoc Inbound pricessing.
Then you will not get this error message.

Bhavana
