What is functional Acknowledgement?
Can any one help me out in using functional acknowledgement?What is the message type and functional modules involved for processing functional acknowledgement.Once I recieve a funtional acknowledgement where should that data be updated?
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Swapnil Bachal thanks for your help.This would be helpful when I recieve functional acknowledgement from my vendor.
Now my other requirement is that when ever I recieve a purchase order from my vendor I need to send 997 and also create the sales order for the PO recieved.I understand that for any inbound idoc I can configure process code which is attached to some Function module.SAP has provided with a standard function module which would create a sales order for the PO recieved.Could you please advice on how to send the 997 simultaneously.

997 Functional Acknowledgment update to SAP IDOC

When a 997 returns to my BizTalk system I want to update the status code on the IDOC that was sent to the trading partner. First question is which BAPI would I use to update the status code on the IDOC in SAP. Second question is what is the unique identifier in the 997 Functional Acknowledgment that is returned to me to know which IDOC status code to update.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom !
Try this BAPIs:
IDOC_STATUS_CONVERT
IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE

Create EDI 997 with conversion agent

Hello,
I work with conversion agent by ItemField to convert EDI messages to xi and from XI to EDI.
I succeeded to receive EDI 850, to parse this message and to transfer it to the IDOC and create purchase order.
Now I try to send back to the customer EDI acknowledgment (997).
I'll be happy to hear if someone use with conversion agent to create EDI 997.

Hi Elad,
What are 997s?
997 Functional Acknowledgments are EDI transactions that a receiver of EDI transaction sets sends back to the party that sent the EDI transaction sets. All EDI transactions require an EDI 997 to be sent back.
Here is an example
Wal-Mart sends an EDI Purchase Order to a supplier. With EDI Standard X12, Wal-Mart expects a 997 to be sent back to them. The 997 lets Wal-Mart know that the supplier received the Purchase Order. It does not say that the supplier accepts the terms or conditions of the purchase order. It simply lets them know that the supplier successfully received the Purchase Order.
Here is another example. A supplier sends Wal-Mart an EDI Invoice. Wal-Mart will send a 997 back to the supplier. The 997 informs the supplier that Wal-Mart has successfully received the invoice.
CovalentWorks handles all of your EDI transactions for you, including 997s, as an outsourced EDI service. If you choose us as your EDI provider, our system will automatically send and receive all your 997 Functional Acknowledgements. And every one of them is processed for you at no charge.

EDI 997 flow

Hi,
I am working on EDI transaction. We recieve EDI 101 transaction and send EDI 997 functional Ack.
I configured B2B to handle EDI 997 ack. I set Document Protocol Parameters in host side (ProcessBA_997 - 1.0) - Initiator and client partner side (ProcessBA_997 - 1.0) - Responder. B2B is able to send 997 transaction to configured transport protocol.
The issue is that B2B is taking the Document Protocol Parameters values (to generate ack) from Host side and not a client partner side parameters. This parameters will vary for client parnters.
Kindy advise me how to override the host side document protocol parameters. Thanks in advance.

If you want a custom FA as per the trading partner then better approach will be inserting the FA from backend.
Receive the message B2B to backend then change as per your requirement and insert FA again to B2B.

Functional acknowledgment 997 reconcilation

Hello Experts.
I have gone through the below blogs.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-46260
There is a limitation for this approach if you are sending multiple Functional Groups and /or Transaction Sets in a single EDI Message.
My requirement is that I want Functional acknowledgment 997 reconciliation.
Can you please suggest any other way to achieve this .
Thanks in Advance.

EDI 997 generation feature of B2B

Hi all,
Customer wants to the EDI 997 enabling for B2B They had set up Inbound 810 Transaction for a Remote Trading Partner and have used "EDIX12 over Generic Exchange" as the Exchange Proto. In the Operational Capability they have set the Is Functional Acknowledgement Required Property as True with the assumption that a EDI 997 will be generated for the corresponding EDI 810 received.But when they tested that with a sample file, they get error in B2B saying "Unable to identify the document protocol of the message" and it is showing the Business Action as Acknowledgement. They then set the property Is Functional Acknowledgement Required Property as False and tested but they are getting the same error.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Senthil

Hi Ramesh,
I would briefly explain our set ups.
1. We have set up Remote Trading Partsnow which will send us an Inbound 810 Invoice file which has to be processed by B2B. The set up is working fine and the EDI file is getting translated to EDIFECS XML and there are no errors being
thrown.
2. As per the Business Requirement,a corresponding FA should be generated for the inbound 810 file. We set up the FA by referring to the B2B Technical note mentioned in the link below:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/b2b/pdf/B2B_TN_006_Acknowledgements.pdf
We created a new Business Action for FA and attached the Business Action to the Partsnow Trading Partner(remote trading partner) Agreement.
The FA is getting generated but it is not in the expected format. Many additional segments are also coming up in the output FA file.
We already have a TAR# 6174945.992 open for this issue but we are yet to get any resolution on this.
It would be great if you could provide some inputs on whether we are missing any set ups.
Please let me know your contact info so that i can have a conf call with you and get the issue resolved. I am currently working in EST time zone and we are nine and half hours behind you. So please let me know when it is suitable for you to have the conf call.
My contact number is 484-318-1969.
Thanks In Advance.

Receiving EDI 997 into SAP

Hello,
I am having trouble understanding how a 997 inbound into SAP would be reflected in the system (we are receiving a 997 from the vendor based on a PO we send out)
1. Where would the 997 be reflected in the PO? Would this be a new confirmation category under the 'Confirmation' tab?
2. What basic idoc type/message type would be used?
Thanks for the help!!

Hello Tiffanie
The EDI 997 message is a functional acknowledgment which corresponds to an acknowledgement IDoc in SAP. This acknowledgment is reflected in the EDI/ALE status of the outbound IDoc.
Example:
I created a purchase order and sent it as outbound ORDERS.ORDERS05 IDoc (no = 414840).
For this outbound IDoc I created an inbound ALEAUD IDoc. Processing the acknowledgement IDoc (WE19, inbound fm IDOC_INPUT_ALEAUD) Idoc 414840 received an additional status 41 = Application document created in target system.
To be honest I do not know whether this IDoc acknowlegement is somehow reflected in the original purchase order but I doubt this is the case.
The ALEAUD01 IDoc looked like this:
Header E1ADHDR:
MESTYP     ORDERS
MESTYP_LNG     ORDERS05
Status E1STATE:
DOCNUM     0000000000414840
STATUS     53
STATXT     DOCUMENT PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY IN APPLICATION
STAMQU     SAP
STAMID     IDOC_ADPAPTER
STAMNO     000

Handling Functional Acknowledgement only in case of transaction exception

Hi ,
We have requirement to acknowledge client with only exception transactions. How can we handle this with B2B?
I have used the Functional Acknowledge concept wherein for Acknowledging EDI transactions, we are using Control D3 message format and moving the acknowledgement message to another JMS Queue.
But the acknowledgements/Control EDI messages are getting generated for both success as well as error cases and there is no way to distinguish between them. How can I restrict this to only Error cases.
Basically flow is like EDI Message Format --> JMS Queue --> B2B
--> (in success case) XML generated in B2B_IN_Queue (no ack required)
--> (in error case) generate CONTRL D3 message and send it to another JMS Queue.
Pls help.

Functional acknowledgement posting to PO confirmation tab

Hi Gurus,
Can anbybody please throw some light on the followin scenario.
is it possible to have the functional acknowledgement posted to the confirmation tab of the PO. If so what kind of confirmation control key has to be used and other settings that will make it such that i can see the functional acknowldegement show up on the PO confimations tab.
Thee way we envision to do this is,
1) we send the PO to the vendor
2) vendor sends us back 997 - now this message should some how get posted to PO confriamtion and not just stop at we05 tcode level.
3) next is our order confirmation - which is the 855 frpom the vendor (ORDRSP)
4) then next we will have ASN or 856 etc etc.
steps number 3 and 4 we do not have any problem. we are fine.
we want to have step 2 done .
so at the end of the day when i look at he po confirmations tab, i should see three confirmation control keys.
first one for 997, second one for 855 and third one for 856. please help
Thanks
Anusha

OK. thanks for the reply. here is where we need to go more in detail. This is how i cuurently have assigned.
in external confirmation category node of the menu path in config, i have
AB -order acknowledgement
LA - Inbound delivery.
now in the internal confirmation category node of the menu path, i have assigned
order acknowledgement - AB - order acknowledgement
Shipping notification - LA - inbound delivery.
now in the node of setup confirmation control i have specified AB as the first sequence and LA as the second sequence.
Now the question is if i want to receive 997 updated on the confirmation tab of the PO, shouldn't i define another key like AB, which is for 997 and then place it first in the sequence of confirmation category. Now what should be the key that i should define or create in external confirmation categories node of the menu path such that it will act like 997.
The business wants 997 updated onthe PO becuase they do not want to rely on the van provider to dtermine that the document was trasnimitted and received succseffully by the vneodr
Thanks

Functional acknowledgement by B2B

Hi
When I am setting Operational capabilities for remote TP
I have seen following options
i) Functional acknowledgement required
ii) Is acknowledgement handled by Integration B2B
Can anybody tell how above both differs...?
Aren't they same...?

Hi
I am using "Custom Document Over Internet" business protocol
In the tutorial I read as
"Is Functional acknowledgement required ? feature is applicable only for Business protocols that include the EDI X12 or EDI EDIFACT document protocol. It does not apply to business protocols using the Custom Document protocol like UCCnet even though you set to YES."
so if the above statement is correct then "Is Functional acknowledgement required " optioin is irrelevant to my case
so obviously according to your update "Is ACK handled by B2B" is relevant only if
"Is Functional acknowledgement required ? " set to "Yes"
So in that case I dont need to worry about these options for my business protocol
Custom Document Over Internet"
Am I right ?
Please confirm...

Binary characters in EDI 997 FA

Hi All,
I am getting binary characters in EDI 997 FA. It seems that CRLF is being replaced by HEX 0xE0B48A. The delimiters set in the document control parameters screen are as follows:
Segment Delimiter 0x0d0a (CRLF)
Element Delimiter 0x2a (*)
Subelement Delimiter 0x7e (~)
The 997 content is (the segment delimiter is not correct):
*070827*1802*U*00401*000001018*0*P*~ഊGS*FA*CIENA*EDIDEPOTP*20070827*1802*1018*X*004010ഊST*997*1014ഊAK1*PO*3677ഊAK2*850*36770001ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770002ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770003ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770004ഊAK5*AഊAK9*A*4*4*4ഊSE*12*1014ഊGE*1*1018ഊIEA*1*000001018ഊ
Any idea what went wrong?
Thanks.

EDI 997 Schema

Hi
Can anyone please let me know do we have a inbuilt schema for EDI 997 with this target namespace
http://schemas.microsoft.com/EDI/X12#X12_997_Root .
I'm trying to process inbound EDI 997 file and store the data in a custom table. I couldn't find the schema matching exactly the same target namespace mentioned above. Please let me know how could i extract values from EDI 997 files in my orchestration?

John,
I've added the reference to the Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll. Could we create a schema with this dll? Please tell me detailed steps to create a schema in VS2012 with http://schemas.microsoft.com/EDI/X12#X12_997_Root
target namespace.
Thanks

Functional Acknowledgement Version

Two questions about B2B automatic functional acknowledgements:
1. What version of CONTRL does B2B produce if FA Handled Automatically is set to Yes in 11.1.1.6 in an EDIFACT exchange?
2. Can the content of the CONTRL message to be produced be configured?
Thanks

1. What version of CONTRL does B2B produce if FA Handled Automatically is set to Yes in 11.1.1.6 in an EDIFACT exchange? CONTRL version D3 is used for single transaction and version 4.1 is used for batches.
2. Can the content of the CONTRL message to be produced be configured?No. You may indicate B2B to generate envelope parameters for CONTRL as per incoming request but you cannot modify the data. To have customized CONTRL, disable the FA Handled By B2B option in the agreement and preapare & send the FA from back-end.

Anuj

Rejecting functional acknowledgement before reaching PI. (incoming EDI)

Hi Friends,
Scenario is EDI (X12 format)<-> PI <-> IDOC (Shipment notification)
Requirement is we need to send reject acks (997) if the sending X12 doesn't have item details.
This has to be accomplished at Seeburger level and should not reach PI. (bcause if it reaches PI then sender (EDI) assumes that we already picked up the file using the splitter adapter)
Any inputs is grtly appreciated.
Regards,
Pavan

Solved,
We are making changes in the BIC mappings in Seeburger.
