Distinguishing between IDocs for Delivery, Shipment and Invoice

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I am triggering IDocs from SAP for Delivery Document, Shipment and Invoice and sending them to a third-party middleware everytime they are created in SAP, by configuring output types for these documents.
I want to know if we have any field in these IDocs's Structures that can be used to distinguish between the different documents such that we can identify which document has been received based on this field (or combination of fields)?
I tried to use Document Category for this purpose, but this field is not available in Invoice and moreover, the IDoc Segment names are different for every IDoc's message type.
The key point here is that I am not allowed to do any sort of Customization in SAP to achieve this and I can only go about using the Standard Functions inherently available in SAP.
Please suggest a possible solution for this predicament of mine.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Keerthi

Hello Keerthi
I do not see where the problem lies.
We exchange via FTP share similar documents with one of our logistics partner:
Inbound delivery (VL33N) => sent as DESADV.DELVRY03 => converted on SAP-XI to TRADACOMS ORDHDR => file suffix .LTI
Shipping Order (VL03N) => sent as SHPORD.DELVRY03 => converted on SAP-XI to TRADACOMS ORDHDR => file suffix .LTO
I am not a fan of functional file names yet if the third-party tools is not capable to distinguish between the documents based on their contents at runtime then we need old-fashioned unique file suffixes.
Of course the two ORDHDR messages can be distinguished based on their contents. The message contains a TYP segment with the following qualifiers:
TYP/TYP2 = '0430' = (shipping) order (= outbound delivery)
TYP/TYP2 = '0660' = inbound delivery
From this logistics partner we receive two different kinds of DLCHDR (delivery confirmation) messages:
TYP/TYP2 = '0670' = Proof of Delivery for (shipping) order => mapped to STPPOD.DELVRY03
TYP/TYP2 = '0695' = Goods receipt for inbound delivery => mapped to WHSCON.DELVRY03
The files have different suffixes yet they are not evaluated. SAP-XI just picks both messages and evaluates at runtime whether it has to transform the DLCHDR into a STPPOD or WHSCON IDoc.

Difference between IDOC for creation, change and deletion

Hi,
As per the requirement, an IDOC will be generated for PO, Vendor Masters and Goods receipt when ever a PO or Vendor or Goods receipt is created or changed. How can we identify whether the IDOC has been created for creation or change of a particular thing? Is there any identifier where in we can check whether the IDOC generated is for creation or change?
And also how to identify that a particular PO or VM or GR has been deleted or cancelled?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Phani.

hi,
to check the idoc status ie idoc created or changed --use transaction WE05

Reg : change pointer mechanism for triggering the IDOC for delivery note

Hi ,
I am working on a change pointer mechanism for triggering the IDOC for delivery note and will be using this message class DESADV.
So SAP has suggested for assigning the message class DESADV with the function module in MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_DESADV in BD60 transaction code.
So I was looking to create this MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_DESADV function module in SAP and SAP suggesting that we should create this MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_DESADV function module as same as the function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS.
So do anyone knows that is there any tool has been provided by SAP for creating this function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_DESADV in SAP system for triggering the change pointer mechanism for outbound Delivery.
Thanks !
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
When you are change pointer the system itself will take care of sending the changed master data to your partner system and the user will not have any intervention. If you really wanted to have that then you need to use the change pointers to read the master data which is modified in a custom program and then display that on the screen. Once the user selects that master data records then trigger an IDOC for creating the idoc for that master data and also flag that master data record as processed in the SAP BDCPS standard table, so that the same record will not be picked. If you wanted to know how the change pointers piece of code is written go through the program RBDMIDOC and you can understand how the change pointers logic is written.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Change Picking data, then call Delivery Note and Invoice in the background

I have designed a GUI where the picking data (from table LIPS) is changed. Now my SD consultant wants the program, when a SAVE or CONTINUE button is clicked, to do the Delivery Note and Invoice in the background.
To quote:
Your progrm must change the values in the delivery in txn VL02n, when the delivery is saved it updates LIKP and LIPS amongst othr tables. When the invoice / billing doc is created it is done with ref to the delivery. Billing doc created using txn VF01, the main tables of the billing doc are VBRK (header) and VBRP (item). And for completion sake, tables VBAK and VBAP are the sales order tables!
In my PAI module, how do I do the calling of these two functions?
The consultant suggested I use a BDC. Why can't I use Call Transaction.... ? What is the best way to do this?
At the moment, my SAVE button updates an internal table of LIPS, and for test purposes it exits to List Processing to test if the amounts changed correctly.
Hope someone can help.

Hi
Ok.
Do you mean "Accual GI Date" in Item overview ?
I have performed a test. When I check "Goods Issue delivery" indeed it has posting date in the past.
Now for the invoice:
I set
"Billing date"
"Serv. rendered" date
and "Prining date" in the past.
Would it be enough to post everything in the last month ?

PO to delivery, PGI and Invoice(profarma) in Background

Hello experts,
when I am saving the PO(purchase prder), In background (Automtically) should create Delivery, PGI and Invoice(Profarma Invoice).
In PO Base price should pick from Legasy system, same price should reflect Invoice, But in Invoice Excise duties should pick from sap R3 system based on Condition Records. with reference to profarma invoice we can create the Excise invoice.
Could any one please help me for this.
Is any standard settings available for this, or shell we have any standard progrm/ exits?
please explain how to reach this requirment.
Thanks
Ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
Why do you need to do all this automation?
Have you thought that how much technically complicated will it become?
How your Picking will be updated with Batch or Serial number data?
If any changes needs to be done then how will it be happened?
How you will manage other special scenarios related to your cycle?
Client will just assume saying that when they had said automation you are already considering all the scenarios related to business and they all will be executed properly.
It is easy for users to ask for end to end automation, but it is tough for Functional and Technical consultant to make it happen with all the scenarios of Client running properly with exact results.
I will suggest convince them to do process in part basis. You can think to create Delivery automatically, but tell them to Do Picking / PGI manually. (All complex scenarios will come while Picking and PGI only)
You can create BDC for Invoice creation.
Regards,
MJ.

Difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date

hi bw guys
can someone give a brief on the difference between doc date,posting date and invoice date.and the invidual definitions
thank you

Hi,
Posting Date: Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The posting date can differ from both the entry date and the doc date.
Document Date: The document date is the date on which the original document was issued. Ex: Inv date, Bill date etc.,
Invoice Date : Usually the date when goods are shipped. Payment dates are set relative to the invoice date.

LO DataSource for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt

Hi all
In LBWE, under Purchasing there are few DataSources available for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. Is there any DataSource for both Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. What are the DataSources available for Goods receipt and Invoice receipt. Please clarify the difference.
Thanks.
Zak.

Try to use the PROCESSKEY standard infoobject (BWVORG in R3/ECC) to discriminate the good receipt from the invoice one...
An other option is create a custom generic data source with a view on EKBE table and use the EKBE-VGABE field to discrimate them.

IDOC to create PO and Invoice

hi...i have to pass a IDOC which will first create PO and then post the invoice automatically...
is there any method...
Plz help
Message was edited by:
Madan Gopal Sharma

Not sure I understand the process.
You can pass the IDOC using ORDERS / PORDER idoc depending on your scenario. But these standard IDOCs.
But how can you create invoices for the orders created without creating inbound / outbound deliveries for the same.
You probably can write a custom program, which will do all the three actions or order / delivery and invoice, and then trigger the custom program.

Need help on IDoc for Picking, Packing and PGI against the Sale order

Hi All,
I am new to this IDoc stuffs. Below is the scenario for which I would like to know the details of the IDoc...
Business Case:
1. Storage location is a HU Managed but not WM managed.
2. This storage locations is managed by a third party
3. Outbound delivery document against the SO will be created by our personnels in SAP for this storage location.
4. Picking, Packing and PGI needs to happen/post via Idoc. (By packing here, i refer to assign the HUs that are already created for the materials and is available in the storage location and not repacking)
Is there any standard IDoc that can be used here to Pick, Pack and post PGI. We would like to have picking and packing in a first idoc and PGI on the second idoc.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Typewriter,
Thanks for your reply on this post..
The business process is as below (it was changed recently to have the creation of OBD, pick HUS and then post GI via single IDOC)
1. We have a storage loc in our enterprise structure that is HU managed but not WM managed.
2. This storage loc is being maintained by a third party.
3. SO will be created to be shipped out of this plant/sloc.
3. The stocks at this storage loc will be Special stock "E" against the sales order. And the stocks will be Packed in HUs.
4. The third party is informed to deliver the stocks (HUs - that do have the special stock number which internally refers to the the SO number and the line item number) directly to ship to party address in SO.
5. The 3rd party will physically ship the HUs to customer and send in the details that they have shipped goods against the sales order.
6. The details sent by the 3rd party will be received in SAP to create OBD for the sales order, Pick, Pack and post GI. This can happen via a single IDOC..
I am now planning to create a custom IDOC type referring to the standard IDOC type DELVRY03 and message type DESADV and to use a custom BAPI/FM.
Do you think I am using the right ones?
Thanks,
Prashant Kumar
