EDI IDOC mapping design

Hi all,
I was supposed to program a report to generate IDOCs. The EDI file format was given.
The segments in the IDOCs should be in the sequence of A, B, C. How can I map them into the sequence of B, C, A?
Is it mapped by the external software?
Thanks

IDoc-to-EDI mapping is usually handled by external software such as Sterling Commerce Gentran or GXS Application Integrator. Check with your company EDI folks they should churn this work in no time for you.

EDI - IDOC mapping question

Dear Experts,
For transformations between EDI and basic IDOC types, are there any off-the shelf (ready to use) options? If yes what are they? If not, what is the easiest way of mapping in between these structures?
Our setup involves Seeburger's AS2 adapter.
Thanks

Hi Aamir,
Thank you for your response.
We are working in an environment where we do not have any control over the setup. So I have a few follow up questions, answers to which would help me immensely.
1. I saw that there are a"few" mappings available for which both the EDI and IDOC versions differ from what we need. So, is there anyway to get an actual listing of all supplied mappings?
2. In case you have worked for a similar scenario, is it possible for you to share a sample mapping spreadsheet ?
Thank you,

EDI Idoc Mapping For Apparel and footwear Solutions (AFS)

Hello Gurus
I am trying to map Orders sent thru EDI using message type Orders and Idoc type /AFS/ORDERS06 and process code J3AA.
I am running into problems like no item category could be found and other errors which stops me proceeding further. I have worked with after market EDI and when I use message Orders and Orders 05 Idoc. I do not run inot these issues.
Is there any specific doumentationavailable for processing AFS EDI?. Any help would be appreciated and points will be awarded.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

hi,
If you want to make huge volume of updation then you should go for idoc.
otherwise you go for Bapi call from xi or RFC.

How to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping designer

Hi All,
Can u please tell me how to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping desginer.
I have scenario My scenario is SAP GTS 7.0.....>Seeburger BIS.....>Atlas customs system for Germany
Idoc coming from SAP GTS to Seeburger BIS and then convert to EDIFACT send
to Atlas systeam.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh
BIC is a tool from Seeburger to transmit the XML data to EDI and EDI to XML.
Seeburger mapping programs for transferring the XML data to EDI data and EDI data to XML data, but not for the structure changing, in the IR your mapping program is same.
Receiver side you need AS2 Adapter for converting data to EDI target structure. we have many EDI versions are available, for converting the EDI to XML or vice versa AS2 gives some default mapping programs, xml to EDI or EDI to XML convertion done through this mapping programs.
Seeburger AS adapter provider provides some mapping programs(for example EDI4010 version or other), if you are using the same EDI version(4010) then you can use that mapping programs, if the version is different then we can manually generate the Seeburger X2E and E2X mappings for the corresponding version and signal(850 or 810 or ..), for this seeburger provides the mapping designer tool (BIC), there we can develope the X2E and E2X mapping programs and configure this in the Seeburger work bench.

SAP R/3 Mapping with EDI IDOC's 846 and 852 (Outbound)

Hi:
How are the following EDI IDOC Types mapped in SAP - R/3?
1. Inventory Inquiry / Advice (846)
2. Product Activity Data (852)
What is the basic type, message type, idoc type that has to be used
in both the cases - outbound based ones.
This is a consumer products industry and not a retail industry. This
is a hypothetical scenario where the end customer would like to see
the price and the stock from all the plants and then place an order
(846); and also see what is being planned in aparticaular plant for
a planning period (852). The cycle countings are carried out based
on the type of product in question and SAP-R/3 has been set up for
this. What is the trigger point for the enitre activitiy to take
place. Any valuable suggestions or guidelines are most welcome.

Seeburger BIC mapping designer : querry

Hi,
 We have installed the SeeBurger BIC adapter. I have a querry regarding the mapping that we specify as a parameter to the BIC module in the modules tab of the communication channel.
 Are there standard mappings provided with the installation for EDI -> XML and vice versa , and we simply need to provide the name of the mapping that needs to be used or do we need to develop the mappings from scratch using the BIC mapping designer.
 If the first case is true then how to get the names of all the mappings that are provided so that we can make out which one do we need to use. If it is not so please help me with the BIC mapping designer manual path on the installation as we are not able to figure out the path to the manual.
Thanks in advance,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi Babu,
1."you can use these mappings in "Modules" of your seeburger communication channel."
>> can we use these developed mappings with BIC MD in any communication channel of Seeburger like OFTP,FTP ,AS2 ,BIC or we need to use those mapping with only BIC communication channel?
>>> Yes Babu,You can use this in all communication channel modules .
one thing, "BIC" is not a seeburger adapter type.
You need to deploy BIC Mappings in your XI server.
You have to refer Seeburger manuals for this.
2.lets say if we have developed mappping with BIC MD ,then do we need to develop mapping with XI mapper too or its not needed?but if we do mapping with Xi then data format will be of xml but it needs to be converted to/from EDI ,so how it can be possible just with XI maping and no BIC MD mapping?
>>> No, You Cannot do it in only with XI Mapper.
First you need to use BIC Mapping in modules which will convert your EDIFACT format to EDI-XML.
After this you need to Apply XI Mapping Which will Convert EDI-XML to your IDOC-XML.i.e. your mapping program.

EDI IDOC generation for interface with Vendor software help needed.

EDI IDOC help needed.
We are NOT an EDI shop, but have a project to output data to Sales Force.com
Sales Force requests IDOC output - eg. 810 Outbound Invoice.
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments?
I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Basicall we have a report program that the user enteres in the date range of Order/Quotes/Invoices they wish to extract, the the program needs to output a flat file (.txt) on the server which is then picked up by Sales Force.com.
Also, is there a way to have in the Partner Profile a generic Partner under the "Type KU" that can be used for all orders/invoices so I don't have to create a KU Partner Type for each and every Sold-To customer we have?
I am very new to EDI so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott.

Hi Scott,
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
I know it's very tempting to use an interface for such loads if you anyhow have to create one. However, often the volume alone speaks against interface usage for such scenarios.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments? I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Well, the E2* segments basically reflect the external name of the IDoc segment, whereas the function modules you're referring to basically just create an internal version of the IDoc. Once the IDoc framework then passes the IDocs to the partner, the segment names usually (depends on how the IDocs are passed on) get converted to their external name. If there are multiple versions of a segment, then the version number will be appended to the segment name.
Note that IDoc segment definitions are only partially stored in the data dictionary. If you want to see all versions you should always use transaction WE31 to look at segments. There you can also see for example for E1EDK01 the several versions and when you then use in SE37 function module SEGMENT_EXTERNAL_NAME_GET you will see what SAP produces as the external name for segment E1EDK01. This function module is basically the one that handles the segment name translations.
Ignore the comments for subsystem, this is basically an option in SAP to possibly trigger further external tools (e.g. mapping etc.) for handling the outbound IDocs.
Again, the funny thing is that via the WE30 transaction, if i put in INVOIC02 as the Obj. name and see the segments, i can see that E2EDK01 there is a version 005, but if i go to SE11 and put in E2EDK01005 structure line and i get a "not found". We just have up to E2EDK01002.
In the old days SAP used to generate E1, E2 and E3* structures in the data dictionary (SE11). The E1* structure reflected the character type representation of an IDoc segment, whereas the other two (definition and documentation) contained actual references to data elements (e.g. if you used a quantity field). However, in newer releases those dictionary structures (E2* & E3*) are no longer generated, because they're superfluous (meta data defined via WE31 is sufficient).

EDI/ IDOC

Gurus
Can somebody answer my querries
1. What exactly is gapping and mapping in EDI/IDOC
2. Can anybody send me the functional specifications and test development for EDI! Meaning any specs as a functional consultant we provide EDI team for mapping .
My email ID is [email protected]
Thanks

Dear Brendon,
what you map in IDOC depends on the IDOC message type.
ORDERS - creation of a sales order
ORDCHG - change of an existing sales order
ORDRSP - confirmation/replication of the sales order
DELINS - creation of a delivery schedule in scheduling agreement
DELORD - creation of a delivery order to the scheduling agreement
EDLNOT - creation of an external agent delivery to the scheduling agreement
GSVERF - creation of a credit advice
SBINV - creation of the invoice
SBWAP - creation of debit/credit memo(requests)
INVOIC - sending the invoice
In the transaction WE60 you can see the fields to every basic IDOC type. Not all fields which could be mapped via IDOC will be transfered automatically (only some ones). All other fields can be mapped to the application with the help of numerous user-exits provided.
The most important transactions:
BD87 - to apply the incoming IDOC
WE19 - to copy / to edit the IDOC and apply this copy
WE02 - to display the IDOC
WE05 - to select IDOCs
WE60 - to see the declared IDOC fields
And here is a general information about IDOC concept in SD:
The EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
If MM-customer would like to purchase the goods then he creates the IDOC of type ORDERS and send it to SD-customer. On the SD-side the IDOC is processed via the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and creates the sales order. As confirmation the SD-side can send to MM-side the Order-Response IDOC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS). The MM-customer can every thime send a change to the existiong order, then on SD side the ORDCHG IDOC will be processed. It can change the order like in VA02. The creation of the invoice can be made via IDOC of message type INVOIC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
So, the process can be realized completely automatically between SD and MM partners with the help of IDOCs: ORDERS, ORDCHG, ORDRSP, INVOIC.
That's all concerning the SD-EDI.
Additional processes in SD, where EDI are used:
1) application of delivery schedules to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELINS
2) creation of a delivery order to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELORD
3) creation of external agent service delivery to scheduling agreement: IDOC of type EDLNOT
4) creation of credit advice / credit memo in the frames of self-billing: IDOCs of type GSVERF, SBWAP and for external invoice creation SBINV.
It is all processes which are realized in the SD module via EDI.
There is not so much Customizing for EDI. The most entries are required by EDI for the scheduling agreement processing (DELINS, EDLNOT, SBINV). The Customizing of these processes is located in the Customizing of scheduling agreements: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Sales => Sales Documents => Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules => Control EDI Inbound processing.
General EDI Customizing in SD is available under: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Electronic Data Interchange => EDI messages => ...
I hope this info helps.

IDoc mapping for VMI

Hello,
We'd like to store the idoc data extracted from EDI 852 inbound transaction in an infocube for DP. SAP Note 154604 suggests that trx /sapapo/map_tser can be used for specifying the infocube.
However, in SCM 4.1, this trx has a field for PA only, not infocube. I was wondering how to pull the data into infocube.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Malli

Converter Error in Seeburger Mapping Designer

I try to convert an ANSIX12 document from EDI to XML with the Seeburger Mapping Designer, but I have an error:
Converter Error or Warning:

DESCRIPTION: InhouseDocReader causes an ReadingException while trying to read the next segment of current file, abort.
If I check the "setIgnoreCRLF" in the "Source Options", the mapping works, but when I deploy the mapping to XI, I have the same error, on the deploy, the map not recognize the "setIgnoreCRLF" within XI.
How can I deploy this check to XI or how I do to mapping ignore the CRLF without the "Source Options"??

What is Ale, Edi,IDoc tech for sap

Hi all,
What is Ale, Edi,IDoc tech for sap?
Thanks.

hi deniz,
ALE
ALE
Triggering OB via Change Pointers:
 When an application make a changes in any object an entry is made in CDHDR and CDPOS tables. When any change is made the SMD(Shared Master Data) Tool checks that ALE setting and create a change pointer in the BDCP table that will point to CDHDR table. 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 to distribute to the appropriate destinations. The program will read the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program it is MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_MATMAS in the case of MATMAS.
Outbound Process:
When the stand-alone program or the Transaction(BD10) is run, it calls the Idoc
Selection program MASTERIDOC_CREATE_REQ_MATCOR in the case of MATMAS, which is hard coded in the program. The Idoc Selection program reads the master data and create a master Idoc and stores it in the memory. The function module then calls ALE layer by using another function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE which is invoked inside it. Then Idoc filtering, Segment filtering etc.. are done in the ALE layer.
 To dispatch the Idoc to the destination system, the system reads the partner profile to determine the destination system. Then the sending system calls the function module INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS asynchronously on the remote system and passes the Idoc via memory buffer.
Asynchronous Communication:
The data that is IDocs and the function module are stored in ARFCDATA and ARFCSSTATE tables. The function module ARFC_DEST_SHIP will transports data to target System and the program ARFC_EXCUTE will execute the stored function Module. If communication problem occurs RSARFCSE program is automatically scheduled., if successful, entries in the tables ARFCSSTATE and ARFCDATA will be deleted.
Inbound Process:
The INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS program is triggered as a result of RFC from the Sending System, the Idoc to be sent is passed as parameter for the function module
In the partner profile if Process immediately is selected then RBDAPP01 program is executed. It will read the process code(MATM) from the Partner profile, which in turn invoke the function module IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS for MATMAS
 Function module will call the corresponding SAP transaction using call transaction or uses direct programs to convert the Idoc to Application document .
In the table TBD51 there will be entries to find which option is used.
Transactions:
SALE - IMG ALE Configuration root
