Empty target Idoc Fields

Hi to all,
I have a File to IDoc scenario. I want to obtain in the target IDoc also the empty fields that in my Graphical Mapping are filled with an empty constant. However, when I go on SAP R/3 to see the produced IDoc, I see that all fields that I have mapped with an empty constant, are absent. I don't want this!!! I want to display this fields with no values!
How can I do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
what you do change the occurenace of the field min occurence : 1 so that when you map the souce field constact then the target field will come..
after importing the idoc..export the idoc and change the occurence where ever you required and import this using external schema...then rest all the steps...
why it is absent IDOC meanns..those fields are empty that might be the problem.
Just try for 1 field if it's work..then go ahead.

Venu.

How to map empty IDoc field

Hi everybody!
I want to map the value of a source field through a FixValues function to the target field. Unfortunately this is an IDoc field which sometimes doesn't even exist (i. e. it's not just empty - it's not even there). In this case the FixValues function suppresses the output, and there is no output - not even the default value of FixValues. However, the requirement is that I always have to generate a default output - even if the input field is empty/missing.
Ony ideas how this could be done?
Regards, Joerg

Hi Himadri!
Thanks for the quick response! I tried to create such a que. However, it doesn't remove the SUPPRESS from the queue. Here's the code:
// Two input params: src[] and def[]
// src contains the input queue (with SUPPRESS values)
// dst contains (hopefully) only one value - the default value
int n=src.length;
result.clear();
if (n==0) {
result.addValue(def[0]);
else {
for (int i=0; i<n; i++) {
 if (src.equals(ResultList.SUPPRESS)) {
 result.addValue(def[0]);
 else {
 result.addValue(src);
What am I doing wrong?

IDoc fields, when empty

Hi all,
I have a requirement to send IDoc to external system. When there is no corresponding data, IDoc fields are not filling.
I need to fill blant value to the IDoc fields and send to external system.
I don't have permissions to change the standard code.
My doubt is: Can I fill the empty field in conversions or in any other place, other than coding? is BD64 useful to fill the IDoc field?
Thanks in Adv,

Hi Kanagaraja,
I am sending the IDoc to PI system using ALE. The IDoc is CLFMAS. when ever a Material Master IDoc generated, subsequent CLFMAS will be generated. The IDoc filling logic is actually in Master_IDoc_MATMAS FM. I think I don't have permissions to change the coding, since its a standard IDoc and some other systems also using the same IDoc generation logic.

Mapping Issue: Target IDoc structure not getting created properly

Hi Experts,
I am stuck with a strange problem in my mapping. It is a M:N scenario mapping where we have multiple IDocs in source as well as in target.
For example, in source Queue-1 I am getting values as [SUPPRESS, true, true, true, true] and in the in source Queue-2 I am getting the values as [1,2,3,4,5]. I used MapWithDefault function to match the number of values in both the queues but in the target IDoc the node (say TMPN) is created only 4 times because of the condition put at the target node. So, the target node should have values as [1,2,3,4] but it gets values as [2,3,4,5] because the first target TMPN node is not created in the first target IDoc. I can provide you with the skeleton of the map. Hope this will give you a fair idea. Let me know if you require more details.
1. Target Structure:
    IDoc - No TMPN Node
    IDoc - 1 TMPN Node
    IDoc - 2 TMPN nodes
    IDoc - 1 TMPN node
Condition put on target TMPN_Node ---> (created only 4 times due to condition)
2. Mapping Skeleton:
Values coming from Q1 (SUPPRESS, true, true, true, true) --->
                                                                                \===>FORMATBYEXAMPLE+SPLITBYVALUE==> TMPN-F0 [2]
                                                                                /                                                                              TMPN-F0 [3]
Values coming from Q2 (1,2,3,4,5) -
>                                                                               TMPN-F0 [4]
                                                                                TMPN-F0 [5]
Where F0 is the field which is created when TMPN Node is created. So, if TMPN gets created 6 times, the F0 gets created 6 times.
Please let me know if there is an alternative to this problem. How can I have values as [1,2,3,4] in field F0 instead of [2,3,4,5]

hi,
i got the email.
as i can see your mapping seams to be rigth, but there is sometrhing i dont get. in a previuos post you said:
I am stuck with a strange problem in my mapping. It is a M:N scenario mapping where we have multiple IDocs in source as well as in target.

1. Target Structure:
IDoc - No TMPN Node
IDoc - 1 TMPN Node
IDoc - 2 TMPN nodes
IDoc - 1 TMPN node
lets asume you define as default value "1"
now, the result of the formatByExample taking the example you sent to me is:
1,T1,T2,T3,T4 without context change. and the result of the function splitByValue should be what you are specting.
but its something that is not clear still,
could you post the result of the mapWithDefault? i think your problem is there.

ALE: mapping IDoc fields to change document fields - TBD22 for ADRMAS iDoc

Hi,
I am currently try to find a table or way to extract the information of the TBD22 table (ALE: mapping IDoc fields to change document fields) for the iDocs/ Message Types:
ADRMAS
INTERNAL_ORDER
PROJECT
I am looking for a table that shows me to which SAP R/3 tables and fields the segments and fields of the above mentioned messages will be mapped to.
When I add one of the above mentioned message types to the table TBD22 selection criteria I always receive the notification: "No table entries found for specific key".
Could anybody determine Which table I have to use or why I cannot extract this information?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Hi,
Since we can not map the target IDOC when any of the field changes using nodefunctions , you can write UDF and check the same i.e if field1 changes or field2 changes or field3 changes then trigger new IDoc. This is one of the options that you can try...please try it once.

RSA3 -(Extract Checker ) Target Sys field -Urgent

Hi
Can any one explain what is the use of this field?
I am running a data source in BW using RSA3 , if I use target system name then it gives X number rows and when target system field is empty it gives Y another number of rows. In my cube there is no field called target system? How does the system determines this field.
Please let me know your thoughts. This is quite urgent.
Thanks
Vennela

Hi Diego,
Thank you for your reply but I am not able to understand your reply.I am using full load so delta option is not relevant.
my question how does the system determines number of records different when I give target system name .
I dont have field called target system in my cube.
It is effecting me because on the target system we are expecting x number of records but it is sending less.
Please expalin.

Creation of empty target group---URGENT!!!!!!!

Hi...
   I have a scenario in campaign automation where i need to create a target group automatically when ever a customer clicks on yes/no in the survey.
      I hope there is a standard workflow which creates target grooup.but do we need to have an empty target group so that who ever cliks on yes/no can form a target group.?
   When ever a Target group is created,i need to create LEAD automatically from it.How do i achieve this?is there a workflow or BADI? and if at all leads are created automatcally,how are they automatically assigned to Lead qualifier??
Regards,
Sanjana

hi sanjana
its easy as you just assign a new target group to existing or new profile set and do not assign any BP tp that target group
this way you have empty target group at your discretion.

Are idoc fields case sensitive?

Hello, there has been an error during idoc processing. The trading partner field was filled in lowercase and this is bringing me error Message no. FB279 ' Company dp0017 is not defined'. The other idocs had DP0017 filled in and were processed fine.
Any input on this? thx.
Edited by: Antish Awootar on Jun 7, 2011 8:02 AM

Hi Antish,
It actually depends on the value that is stored in the IDOC, if the IDOC has company code in lower case then that is exactly how it will be used in the program for all purpose and no automatic conversion is applied. The below message is thrown in the FM - FI_COMPANY_CHECK This FM will look up the table T880 - If you check the entry in this table will be DP0017 and not dp0017. Hence it is throwing the error message.
If your question is it works fine when i try in SE37 with the FM "FI_COMPANY_CHECK" or if i input "dp0017" in WE19 or in SE11 against T880, then the reason for that is a conversion is applied automatically and it is changed to DP0017.
To answer your question "Are idoc fields case sensitive?", it depends on the context, does it retain the case when it is filled in, yes it does.
Regards,
Chen

How to map Idoc fields with external file

Hi All,
How to map Idoc fields with external file.
I want to check the settings where Idoc fields are mapped with external file.

If you have configured a fileport where on trigger of IDOC you are creating the file, you can look at the message type documentation and get the offset values for each field in each segment

How to read the source file and copy the entire content to the target Database field

Hi All,
PI system extracts the actual business content from the incoming attachment file and copy the entire format to the target Database field which is a blob data type field.
Sender Adapter: SOAP
Receiver Adapter: JDBC
JDBC Structure
Can we achived the above requirement by using UDF with out Java Mapping?
Thanks,
Mahi.

Ok, in this case yo can use the conten converion of the file adapter. Therefore you first need to create a Datatype in ESR with the required structure
Then in your file adapter you need to use this datatype and its required fields:
The Datatype then can be used as usual within you mapping.

To Handle Special Characters(Guideu0099 ) in MATMAS IDOC fields

Need to handle special characters like Guide, as an attached superscript in MATMAS02/05 IDOC field . The field name is TDLINE in E1MTXLM segment.
As a trial run when these special characters are pasted in the TDLINE field, it throws an error that "the input field contains prohibited characters"
Please let me know if there is any workaround for this.

How to make Target Value field mandatory in WK contracts

Dear All,
Can the Target Value field in quantity contracts be set to a mandatory field like in Value contracts?
Regards.

Hi
quantity contracts are used when you would like to limit quantity irrespective of the value of contract. Therefore quantity field is made mandatory here.
similarly value contract is used when you would like to limit value irrespective of quantity of goods.Therefore value field is made mandatory here.
Hope it helps you.

Missing IDOC field in XML after IDOC reimported in ESR

Hi Guys,
I have just reimported my IDOC in ESR wherein an additional field is added.
However, when I test a message, the IDOC field is missing in the XML payload upon entering PI even though I have entered a value in the IDOC.
Flow:
SAP ECC > PI
I have also already updated my message mapping. I'm not sure if I have missed any steps after importing the IDOC in ESR.
Could you please help me on this issue?
I'm using ICO by the way.
Thanks and Regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,
As Shanthi said you need to update metadata but since you are using ICO you need to do it in NWA.

Populating a segment in the target idoc based on dif

Hi
We have E1MARCM, E1MBEWM and ZE1MARCM (constum segment) in the material IDOC and we map the idoc to similar idoc which has same sement in the target idoc material idoc.
ZE1MARCM segment is the custom segment and is the subsegment of E1MARCM. while populating the target idoc segment, we are taking the values from E1MBEWM segment and populting in ZE1MARCM, but the problem is as ZE1MARCM doesnt get populated unless E1MARCM gets populated in the source, So, we need to manually populate E1MARCM in the target message with some default valaues incase we dont have E1MARCM coming in the source. Just would like to know what is the effort in the XI side. Is it a good design to implement this in XI or should we change the ABAP in the ERP side to always populate the E1MARCM on the source idoc which is a standard idoc.

we need to manually populate E1MARCM in the target message with some default valaues incase we dont have E1MARCM coming in the source.
Use mapWithDefault std function or ifelse function in PI. It solves your issue.
Is it a good design to implement this in XI or should we change the ABAP in the ERP side to always populate the E1MARCM on the source idoc which is a standard idoc.
It anyways dont take much effort in doing so in XI. If you can do so in ABAP, even that would be fine.

Swetha
