Debugging customized function module when Idoc is triggered via ALE

Question

Hi,
Whenever we save the billing document, an outbound idoc is triggered via ALE. The logic for the data to be included in the idoc is written in a customized function module.
However we are making some changes and would like to include some more data in the idoc. But we find that when we put a breakpoint in the function module, on saving the billing document, the flow does not stop at the break point. We are 100% sure that the code in the function module gets executed based on the data in the idoc.
How do we get into debug mode and break the flow in the function module so that we can debug in the function module?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mick

Hi Mick, this might be of some help 4 u.
ALE IDOC
Sending System(Outbound ALE Process)
Tcode SALE - for
a) Define Logical System
b) Assign Client to Logical System
Tcode SM59-RFC Destination
Tcode BD64 - Create Model View
Tcode BD82 - Generate partner Profiles & Create Ports
Tcode BD64 - Distribute the Model view
Message Type MATMAS
Tcode BD10 - Send Material Data
Tcode WE05 - Idoc List for watching any Errors
Receiving System(Inbound ALE )
Tcode SALE - for
a) Define Logical System
b) Assign Client to Logical System
Tcode SM59-RFC Destination
Tcode BD64 - Check for Model view whether it has distributed or not
Tcode BD82 -- Generate partner Profiles & Create Ports
Tcode BD11 Getting Material Data
Tcode WE05 - Idoc List for inbound status codes

1)a Goto Tcode SALE
Click on Sending & Receiving Systems-->Select Logical Systems
Here Define Logical Systems---> Click on Execute Button
go for new entries
1) System Name : ERP000
Description : Sending System
2) System Name : ERP800
Description : Receiving System
press Enter & Save
it will ask Request
if you want new request create new Request orpress continue for transfering the objects
B) goto Tcode SALE
Select Assign Client to Logical Systems-->Execute
000--> Double click on this
Give the following Information
Client : ERP 000
City :
Logical System
Currency
Client role
Save this Data
Step 2) For RFC Creation
Goto Tcode SM59-->Select R/3 Connects
Click on Create Button
RFC Destination Name should be same as partner's logical system name and case sensitive to create the ports automatically while generating the partner profiles
give the information for required fields
RFC Destination : ERP800
Connection type: 3
Description
Target Host : ERP000
System No:000
lan : EN
Client : 800
User : Login User Name
Password:
save this & Test it & RemortLogin
3)
Goto Tcode BD64 -- click on Change mode button
click on create moduleview
short text : xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Technical Neme : MODEL_ALV
save this & Press ok
select your just created modelview Name :'MODEL_ALV'.
goto add message type
Model Name : MODEL_ALV
sender : ERP000
Receiver : ERP800
Message type :MATMAS
save & Press Enter
4) Goto Tcode BD82
Give Model View : MODEL_ALV
Partner system : ERP800
execute this by press F8 Button
it will gives you sending system port No :A000000015(Like)
5) Goto Tcode BD64
seelct the modelview
goto >edit>modelview-->distribute
press ok & Press enter
6)goto Tcode : BD10 for Material sending
Material : mat_001
Message Type : MATMAS
Logical System : ERP800
and Execute
7)goto Tcode : BD11 for Material Receiving
Material : mat_001
Message Type : MATMAS
and Execute --> 1 request idoc created for message type Matmas
press enter
Here Master Idoc set for Messge type MATMAS-->press Enter
1 Communication Idoc generated for Message Type
this is your IDOC
Change Pointers
I know how to change the description of a material using ALE Change Pointers.
I will give the following few steps
1) Tcode BD61---> check the change pointers activated check box
save and goback.
2) Tcode BD50---> check the MATMAS check box save and comeback.
3) Tcode BD51---> goto IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS01 select the checkbox save and comeback.
4) Tcode BD52---> give message type : matmas press ok button.
select all what ever you want and delete remaining fields.
save & come back.
5) 5) go to Tcode MM02 select one material and try to change the description and save it
it will effects the target systems material desciption will also changes
6) goto Tcode SE38 give program Name is : RBDMIDOC and Execute
give Message type : MATMAS and Executte
ALE/IDOC Status Codes/Messages
01 Error --> Idoc Added
30 Error --> Idoc ready for dispatch(ALE Service)
then goto SE38 --> Execute the Program RBDMIDOC
29 Error --> ALE Service Layer
then goto SE38 --> Execute the Program RSEOUT00
03 Error --> Data Passed to Port ok
then goto SE38 --> Execute the Program RBDMOIND
12 Error --> Dispatch ok
Inbound Status Codes
50 Error --> It will go for ALE Service Layer
56 Error --> Idoc with Errors added
51 Error --> Application Document not posted
65 Error --> Error in ALE Service Layer
for 51 or 56 Errors do the following steps
goto WE19 > give the IDOC Number and Execute>
Press on Inbound function Module
for 65 Error --> goto SE38 --> Execute the Program RBDAPP01 then your getting 51 Error
cheers,
Hema.
