EDI 821 and EDI 823 field mapping file and basic IDOC type and message type

Hi All,
We are facing some issues regarding EDI 821 and EDI 823 file mappings.
We are mapping EDI 821 and EDI 823 transactions into SAP using IDOCs. Currently we are using the below entries
EDI 823 - Lock Box
Basic IDOC type - FINSTA01
Message type - FINSTA
Process Code - FINS
The problem is we are able to get the IDOC into SAP with status red and the various errors were due to not able to create the lockbox entry in SAP and once we got yellow status also but the lock box entry was not created and the errors are like No Conversions,no header etc.
EDI 821 -
Basic IDOC type - PEXR2002
Message type - PAYEXT OR REMADV
Process Code - PEXC OR REMA
We are facing the same problem here also and the internal payment order is not creating in SAP and IDOC was generated with yellow status and red status.
We are trying different combinations but nothing is working so far.
I need the following things to proceed furthur.
1)Are the IDOC , Message and process codes are correct that I am using now for both EDI 821 and EDI 823
2)If those are not correct, can you please let me know the correct entries
3) Please provide me the field mapping if any one of you have worked earlier for both the above IDOC and message type or new ones and we have one field mapping now but if you can send it to me then I can re check it.
4) Do we have to create any configuraion or customizing in SAP to create the IDOC in green status and if so please let me know the customizing steps and procedures for both EDI 821 and EDI 823.
thanks in advance for all your help.
Please let me know if my question is not clear.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,
I believe you are using those interfaces with the business partner type as Bank, Whatever idoc type, message type and process code you have used are perfectly correct.
First of all did you enable your bank for EDI, the house bank has to be EDI enabled first then only your idoc's can be processed, talk to your fi functional consultant and he might help you.
Are you can give me the exact error and i can help you as well.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

KEY MAP FILE - To hide user id and password

I have read all the documentation on hiding your connection details from the URL using the key map file, but I have a problem:
I have several reports which all use the same user id and connection string. So all I want in my key file is the connection string, but because I don't specify a report in the key file I get an error.
In my cgicmd.dat file I have the following:
MyKeyName: USERID=my_user/my_password@my_database
However when I call the reports from a URL like so:
http://my_server/reports/rwservlet?MyKeyName&report=my_report
I get the error saying that no report is specified on the command line. Surely I don't have to create a key map file entry for every single report with REPORT=report_name????
I have also tried this URL which also gives me the same error:
http://my_server/reports/rwservlet?report=my_report&cmdkey=MyKeyName

Nr. 299696,
You are almost there. What you are looking for is a characters to put behind your key to enable that users specifies there parameters. In your case Reports name.
Please check cgicmd.dat for the correct characters. In the file there's lots of examples, so just search.
It might be ?* like
MyKeyName: USERID=my_user/my_password@my_database ?*
However, I'm not 100% sure on that and I don't have an environment right now to check. Please check the cgicmd.dat for the correct one, and then please update this thread.

I have a movie in an .avi file and when i open the file the Mac attempts to covert the file and it doens't play. What can I do?

VLC will play avi's, even if the index is broken. IT can repair most broken avi's but will still play them if it can't.

When I start on a .xps file and Open with. . . and choose the Microsoft XPS file viewer, Firefox still opens and I get nowhere.

When I double-click on the file, Firefox opens, too.
Firefox wants me to save the file or browse. If I browse to the Microsoft XPS viewer (the recommended option) and select it, then a new copy of firefox opens and wants me to save or browse. Deja vu.
I have Vista, .Net 4, Firefox 3.6.10

I read this link and did not see how it applied. The xps viewer is not on the list of file types in Firefox. But why does Firefox open at all? Firefox is not open when I double-click on the file. The .xps files are associated with the Microsoft xps viewer in the file associations.

Sender File/FTP Adapter - Matching Input to Message Type

Hi,
I have a sender file/ftp adapter which is using content conversion to generate an XML document from the contents of a text file. This works fine and when I go into the SXI Monitor I can see the XML document I expect:
<ns:DN_360BalanceExtract xmlns:ns="http://xxx">
<ns:RN_360BalanceExtract xmlns:ns="http://xxx">
<BalanceRecord>

Having created the XML document from a text file I now wish to use the XML as input to a web service. This will of course involve mapping the XML document to a message in the inbound interface. Question is how do associate the XML generated with a Message Type in the outbound interface. Do I need to make sure the Document or Recordset names match that of a Message Type ?
Cheers,
PaulC.

Hi Paul
The content conversion will create a document like that if you insert DN_360BalanceExtract as Document name, "http://xxx" as namespace.
RN_360BalanceExtract will probably be your recordset, with its namespace.
More information about content conversion on sender file adapter:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/ae/d03341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
I'm not sure what you mean by bound. If you mean that PI has to execute mapping you created for that DN_360BalanceExtract message type, you need to associate DN_360BalanceExtract to a message interface and then create all configuration objects and choose that message mapping when you create the interface determination object.

Multiple IDOCS of same message type To Single File

Hi Sap All.
here i have got a tricky situation of sending Multiple IDOC's of same type to a Single File via PI.
the Integration architect has created an Integration Gudeline of how to do this.
from the SAP-ECC side the follwing below are the steps thatr he mentioned
To allow IDOCu2019s to be processed sequentially in a queue, the queue processing option on the partner profile must be selected. In addition the rule name which is used to create queue names must be specified.
NB On the partner profile (for the partner / message type) you must also set the output mode as collect IDOCu2019s (it cannot be set to transfer immediately) u2013 This means the IDOCu2019s are created but not sent to out (to SAP PI)
As standard there are two rule names delivered CONSTANT:EDIQUEUE and FIRST_16_OF_MESTYP. These rule names are linked to a SAP function module and therefore custom queue names can be build either as an u201Chardcodedu201D name or based on the data in the IDOC.
The program RSEOUT00 should be run to transfer the IDOCu2019s to PI. The IDOCu2019s will be placed in the SAP ERP qRFC (rather than the standard RFC)
My Questions :
1. how and where we can select the Queue Processing option on partner profile in SAP-ECC as mentioned above
2.how and where we can define the Rule name as mentioned above
3.how and where we can set the output mode as Collect IDOC's in SAP-ECC as mentioned above
4.what does the EDIQUEUE and FIRST_16_OF_MESTYP will do and how they linked to SAP Function modules
will be waiitng for a the best solutions.

IDOC question on Message type and Basic Type - Partner Profile

Hi all,
I am wonder if I can post any IDoc question in this right forum/module. If not please direct me to the right forum/module. I am a newbie in IDOC setup.
My question is about the setup of Partner Profile creation (WE20).
When creating a new partner, for example with partner type LI, I notice there is outbound parameter and inbound parameter.
Questions:
1 u2013 It makes sense to have only one message type record appear in EITHER one of these two tables. I notice that some partner in my system has message type record exist on both the inbound and outbound parameters table, why system allows? What is the business rational?
2 u2013 May I have a list of standard SAPu2019s Message Type object of its usage description, and its allowable Basic Type (ie. IDOC TYPE). Basically a website to describe their (i.e. Message type and its Basic Type) business usage.
Thanks.
tuff

Tuff,
Below are my thoughts,
There is a partner sing partner type LI. This partner in the WE20, has one record (i.e. with Message Type ORDERS) exist in the Outbound Parameter table. This partner also has 4 records (i.w. with Message Type DESADV, INVOIC, MBGMCR, and ORDRSP) exist in the Inbound Parameter table. So my question is what is the business rational behind this kind of setup. Because I am confuse when come to create a partner profile, whether I need to create a message type in Inbound Parameter table or Outbound Parameter table, or I need both.
OK, so looking at the above example, you have an orders message type(This is for creating an order) in the outbound, this means that you are sending out an IDOC(purchase order for ex) to this partner, so that this partner can create an SO in his system and fulfill your order.
Now you also, mention that you have other four Message types for the same partner on the inbound, now let us look at the above scenario, you have asked your partner to fulfill the order, i guess you would like to get a confirmation from him/her if the order was created or not in his/her system and how and when is he/she going to fulfill your order requirement. This he/she does by sending an response to your order - ORDRSP.
And when the partner is ready to ship your order to you, he/she sends out a Advance Shipping Notice - ASN via the IDOC of message type DESADV.
Finally and most importantly , he/she will send you the invoice - INVOIC for the order.
In general, you interact with your partner via Business Docs - Order, Delivery, ASN, Invoice etc, so whatever document come from your partner - ORDRSP, INVOIC etc will be on the inbound profile of the partner. Whatever docs that you send ORDERS, ORDCHG etc etc will be on the outbound profile of the partner.
2 - Bascially I would like a reference in any website that allow me to choose which message type is best use for my partner profile, so that I don't have to reinvent.
Well, there is no choice of choosing/best message type for a given requirement - So for sending an Invoice the message type is INVOIC, ORDERS - For order creation, ORDCHG for order change etc. However the IDOC type, is some thing that you can choose, for Ex: ORDERS01 - ORDERS05, these are the IDOC types that are available, so if you are interacting with a partner who are running an old version of SAP and their system has only upto ORDERS02 in their version of SAP then you would use ORDERS02.

Use of Orders05 Interface mapping & XSLT mapping file for Orders03 IDOC

Hello Experts,
In a scenario we are sending Purchase orders and Purhase Order change from SAP to SNC through XI.
Currently Orders03 IDoc is used and standard mapping for Orders03 XSLT is used.
Now the requirement is to use the same IDOC (Orders03) but
- XSLT mapping (OrdersOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification) and
- Interface Mapping (OrdersOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification_01) of Orders05.
What changes would be necessary
- On SAP side,
- in the XSLT mapping, and
- On XI side.
Thanks in advance,
Suraj

Hi Suraj,
First compare ORDERS03 IDOC and ORDERS05 IDoc structures,if both structures are same then u no ned to chnage the XSL it will work fine.
If any chnages in ORDERS05 Idoc then u have to adjust XSLT as per ORDERS05 IDOC.
test interface mapping first and let me know if any error.

I just got a new PC at work, and I saved all my files in my profile (Documents and Settings...).Being a new firefox install, I cannot recover my custom preferences (and passwords...)

At work, I was asked to exchange my PC for a new one (...) at a moment where I was completely stressed and hardly could find time to do things correctly ( I had big issues with some UNIX servers consuming all my time, and more...) I saved the content of my profile in (Documents and settings) from the XP pro OS. REinstalled Firefox, but cannot find a way to recover or use the content of Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox... How can I recover? (bookmarks, custom stuff passwors etc...)

Mapping File to Multiple IDoc Scenario

I know how to do this, but when I load the IDoc's XML structure back into the IR, the EDI_DC40 field doesn't have anything in it's structure. I need to configure the sender parameters in this structure for this IDoc, so any help would be appreciated.

Schroeder,
If I understand your question correctly after you import the IDOC into IR you want the EDI_DC40 segment filled automatically.
Either you have to fill manually or if you automatically to be filled up then check this weblog:

Mapping problem wsdl to idoc

Hi all,
I am using a external defination in a webservice scenario.When I import the wsdl file into the message mapping its not showing the structure of the message type of the wsdl.Now please suggest me how can I map it to a idoc structure.The message type is of xsd string ,its just being shown in the wsdl

hi Abhishek,
for your scenario, WS to IDOC you have to create the WSDL in PI.
you have to define the DT,MT and MI and later in integration directory once you define the communication channel type SOAP sender, you have to go>tools>define Web Services.

Difference btw idoc ale and edi

Hi all,
I'm a beginner in abap, can anyone send me the concepts of ALE, IDOC and EDI and the difference btw all the three.
Also do send some materials for the same.

Hi,
ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)
Ale Technology is SAPs technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
Distributed Process:
A distributed process is one in which part of a business process is carried out on one system and part on another. The two systems would exchange data with each other at appropriate points to stay synchronized.
Need for Distributed Process:
Business in Different Geographical Locations.
Non availability of dedicated network.
Cultural and language differences in Geographical locations.
Running of Mission-critical Applications (Like Maintenance downtime etc.).
Separate up gradation of Modules.
Distributed SAP SYSTEM CHALLENGES
A system that understands the syntax and semantics of the data. It was important from the very beginning to base the distribution of data on business rules, not on database replication techniques.
Distributed systems that can maintain their autonomy while being integrated as one logical SAP system. The systems should be able to operate independently and support logical processing of transactions and data.
Distributed systems that can handle different data models. A local implementation should be able to customize the system to meet its local needs.
Receiving systems that can handle their own problems and not tie up the sending system.
Systems that maintain continued operation in spite of network failure. Changes made to either system should be synchronized after the network connection is restored.
A sound technology and methodology that can be used in all distribution scenarios.
SAP Distributed environment:
ALE allows for efficient and reliable communication between distributed processes across physically separate SAP systems.
ALE is based on application to application integration using messaging architecture. A message defines data that is exchanged between two processes. IDocs are containers that hold data exchanged between the two systems.
Benefits of ALE:
Integration with non-SAP systems: ALE architecture allows third party applications to integrate with SAP system.
Reliable Distribution: Once message type created and the receiver of the message is determined, ALE delivers the message to the recipient. If there is any network problem it will buffer the message and delivers the message once the network is restored. It also ensures that the message is not delivered twice.
Release Upgrade: Any of the distributed system can be upgraded to the new release of SAP without affecting the functionality. The ALE layer ensures backward compatibility of messages exchanged between systems.
ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Process flow for Distributing Transactional Data:
Transactional data is distributed using two techniques: with Message control and without message control.
Process flow for Distributing Master Data:
Master data between SAP systems is distributed using two techniques: Stand alone Programs and Change Pointers.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Stand-Alone Programs:
Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another. Standard Programs for several master data objects exist in SAP. Ex. The material master data can be transferred using the RBDSEMAT program or transaction BD10.
The stand-alone programs provide a selection screen to specify the objects to be transferred and the receiving system. After the stand-alone program is executed, it calls the IDoc selection program with the specified parameters.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Change Pointers:
The change pointer technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically when master data is created or changed.
A standard program, RBDMIDOC, is scheduled to run on a periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and start the ALE process for distributing the master data to the appropriate destination. The RBDMIDOC program reads the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program for a message type.
Processing in the Application Layer:
The customer distribution model is consulted to make sure that a receiver has been defined for the message to be transmitted. If not, processing ends. If at least one receiver exists, the IDoc selection program reads the master data object from the database and creates a master IDoc from it. The master IDoc is stored in memory. The program then calls the ALE service layer by using the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, passing the master IDoc and the receiver information.
Processing in the ALE Interface Layer:
Processing in the ALE Layer consists of the following steps:
Receiver Determination: The determination of the receiver is done through Customer Distribution Model.
IDoc Filtering: if an IDoc filter is specified in the distribution model for a receiver, values in the filter are compared against the values in the IDoc data records. If a data record does not meet the filter criteria, it is dropped.
Segment Filtering: For each sender and receiver combination, a set of segments that are not required can be filtered out.
Field conversion: Field values in data records are converted by using the conversion rules specified for the segment.
Version change for segments: Segments are version-controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from the preceding version and fields added for the new version. Release in IDoc type field of the partner profile to determine the version of the segment to be generated.
Version change for IDocs: IDocs are also version controlled. The version is determined from the Basic Type field of the partner profile.
Communication IDocs generated: The final IDoc generated for a receiver after all the conversions and filtering operations is the communication IDoc. One master IDoc can have multiple communication IDocs depending on the number of receivers identified and the filter operations performed. IDoc gets the status record with a status code of 01 (IDoc Created).
Syntax check performed: IDoc goes through a syntax check and data integrity validation. If errors found the IDoc get the status of 26 (error during syntax check of IDoc Outbound). If no errors found the IDoc gets the status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch ALE Service).
IDoc dispatched to the communication Layer: In the ALE process, IDocs are dispatched using the asynchronous RFC method, which means that the sending system does not await for data to be received or processed on the destination system. After IDocs have been transferred to the communication layer, they get a status code 01 (Data Passed to Port OK).
Processing in the Communication Layer:
To dispatch an IDoc to a destination system, the system reads the port definition specified in the partner profile to determine the destination system, which is then used to read the RFC destination. The RFC destination contains communication settings to log o to the remote SAP system. The sending system calls the INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS function module asynchronously on the destination system and passes the IDoc data via the memory buffers.
Inbound Process in IDocs:
An inbound process used IDoc structure, posting programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables to post an application document from an IDoc.
Posting Program:
Posting programs, which are implemented as function modules, read data from an IDoc and create an application document from it. A posting program exists for each message. Each posting program is assigned a process code. A process code can point to a function module or a work flow. In the standard program process codes always point to a function module.
Ex. The posting program for message type MATMAS is IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS which has a process code MATM.
Workflow:
A workflow represents a sequence of customized steps to be carried out for a process. The workflow management system is used to model the sequence, identify information required to carry out the steps and identify the person responsible for the dialog steps.
Partner Profile;
A partner profile specifies the components used in an inbound process (partner number, message type, and process code), the mode in which IDocs are processed (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of errors.
Process flow for the Inbound process via a Function Module:
In this process, IDocs are received from another system and passed to the posting function module directly.
1. Processing in the communication Layer:
The IDOC_INBOUND_ASYCHRONOUS program, triggered as a result of an RFC from the sending system, acts as the entry point for all inbound ALE processes. The IDoc to be processed is passed as an input parameter. Control is transferred to the ALE/EDI layer.
2. Processing in the ALE/EDI Interface Layer:
Basic integrity check: A basic integrity check is performed on the control record.
Segment Filtering and conversion: Filtering out unwanted segments and carry out any required conversion of field values.
Creation of Application IDoc: The application IDoc is created and stored in the database and a syntax check is performed. If there are errors it gets status code of 60 (Error during Syntax check of IDoc Inbound). At this point a tangible IDoc, which can be monitored via one of the monitoring transactions, is created and the IDoc gets status code 50 (IDoc Added).
IDoc Marked ready for Dispatch: IDoc gets the status code 64 (IDoc ready to be passed to application).
IDoc is passed to the posting program: The partner profile table is read. If the value of the Processing field is set to Process Immediately, the IDoc is passed to the posting program immediately using the program RBDAPP01.
3. Processing in the Posting Module:
The process code in the partner profile points to a posting module for the specific message in the IDoc. The posting program implemented as a function module either calls a standard SAP transaction by using the Call Transaction command for posting the document or invokes a direct input function module.
The results of execution are passed back via the function modules output parameters. If the posting is successful IDoc gets the status code 53 (Application Document Posted) or it gets status code 51 (Error: Application Document Not Posted).
IDOC:
Data Creation in Idoc
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an
asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
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)

EDI:
Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

EDI FLOW :
Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.
