Filter IDoc segments

Hi,
in a HRMD_A IDoc I want to transfer segment E1P1001 only if field RSIGN equals 'A'.
What are the steps to configure this scenario?
Please describe the steps instead of sending me links (as I know them already).
Thanks and regards
Patrick

hi Patrick,
you can do this with the ALE distribution model Filter.
1. Go to BD64
2. edit mode
3. choose your model
4. choose your IDoc
5. apply filter
6. if your filter of field RSIGN is not available go to BD95 and BD59 to apply it first.
7. enter "A" as filtervalue.
Save and go for it.
IF there is an IDoc with Value RSIGN = A then the segment is existing, if not ... the segment will be deleted.

Filter Idoc segment based on date in XSLT map

Hi,
In a Idoc to flat file XSLT mapping, I have a requirment to filter segment out of multiple segment occurance in HRMD_A idoc. Idoc has two date fields(actually string data, containing date in YYYYMMDD format) in the segment(end date and start date). I need to filter only one segment from multiple segments where current date falles within start and end dates (end date >= current date >= start date). Then map output fields from the filtered segment.
Its easy doing it in graphical mapping, but its difficult to use graphical mapping here as the message structure are enormous. I dont have much hands on in XSLT but think many of you have been through this kind of requirement using XSLT. So holding my hope high :). Please suggest a logic for this, will be highly appretiated.
Regards
Suman.

This functions will give you the current date:
fn:current-dateTime()     => Returns the current dateTime (with timezone)
fn:current-date()                 => Returns the current date (with timezone)
fn:current-time()                 => Returns the current time (with timezone)
To compare:
fn:compare(comp1,comp2)
fn:compare(comp1,comp2,collation)
=> Returns -1 if comp1 is less than comp2, 0 if comp1 is equal to comp2, or 1 if comp1 is greater than comp2 (according to the rules of the collation that is used)
Example: compare('ghi', 'ghi')
Result: 0
Also I suggest working with an IF condition like this:
<xsl:if test="price > 10">
        <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="artist"/></td>
        </tr>
      </xsl:if>

Idoc Segment Fields

Hi,
I am having a problem with the display of idoc segment fields. When i check the Idoc segment contents in WE02 it is displaying the fields which dont have the value in the DB table along with the fields which have the data. To avoid this what is the procedure. I dont want to display the fields in the content of segment which does not contains the data.
Plz help me out.

Idoc Segment Filtering error.

Hi,
I have a scenario of IDOC to IDOC Scenario, in which i have to filter some segments based on the field value.
Ex: DESADV09 is my input and output IDOC
Having segment as below:
Segment -
E1EDK08
Fields----
Field1
Fields----
Field2
Segment----
E1EDP07
Fields----
Field3
Fields----
Field4
Segment----
E1EDP08
Segment----
E1EDP09
Fields----
Field5
Fields----
Field6
Segment----
ZCODE
Segment----
ZQUALIFIER
Fields----
Field7
Fields----
Field8
Here using the qualifiter segment we need to filter the E1EDP09 segments,
The condition is If Field7 == Network, and Field8 == GSM, I need all the E1EDP09 segments.
The E1EDP09 segments has to filter with the above condition.
For example if 10 E1EDP09 segments comes in the input IDOC if i have only 6 satisfed with the above condition I need only those 6 E1EDP09 segments at the output.
I have tried with all the options but i couldn't fiter that, can anyone throw some light on this..
Thanks,
--Sai

Hello,
You can try using the mapping below:
For E1EDP09 mapping:
Field8 --> concat --> equalsS:GSMNetwork --> ifWithoutElse --> removeContext --> E1EDP09
Field7 --> / /
E1EDP09 --------------------------------------------> /
The code above will pass the number of E1EDP09 that satisfies your condition.
For the E1EDP09 child nodes e.g /DESADV01/IDOC/E1EDK08/E1EDP07/E1EDP09/HLNUM:
Field8 --> concat --> equalsS:GSMNetwork -----------------> ifWithoutElse --> removeContext --> E1EDP09
Field7 --> / /
HLNUM --> MapWithDefault --> removeContext --> formatByExample --> /
E1EDP09 -------------------------------------------> /
The code above will pass all the E1EDP09 fields that satisfies your condition
Hope this helps,

Replaced value is not getting relected in IDOC segment field

Hi,
Need your help for the below issue.
I am replacing the PO # with Delivery Doc # . But the replaced value is not getting reflected in the IDOC segment field(e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.).
Function Module which I am using is IDOC_INPUT_MBGMCR as a copy.
Here is my code given below:
SELECT
            SINGLE vbeln
              INTO lx_vbeln
              FROM lips
             WHERE vgbel EQ e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
Move lx_vbeln TO e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING e1bp2017_gm_item_create
               TO goodsmvt_item.
Then this is passed as TABLE in "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE".
Please do the needful.

Hi Dheepa,
Check it in debug whether the filed is empty or having po#, when ur code is executed for the replacement. if it is empty, po# is populated after ur code. in this case you need to write the code in suitable place.

Unable to change the length of field in idoc segment

Dear all,
My requirement is to change the length of a field(Z field) in a segment (Z Segment). I tried the following but in vain
1)Tried to Cancel the release and then change the length of the domain. Unfortunately it is givin an error saying "Error while resetting release of segment ZC9DEMARA01".
I also tried cancelling hte release of extension and then cancelled the release of segment
2) Created a new version, but in new version the earlier fields are diabled. So I am unable to edit.
I have gone through some of the links available in SDN but I could not solve as I am unable to cancel the release in the first step.

Hello Aravind,
I Have created one Segment type with some fields, changed the field length also its working.
just try to cancel the release and change the length of the filed and do it set release again.
Try it .

Idoc Segment Cancel release error

Hi all,
I have problem in cancelling the release of an Idoc Segment. I have a requirement to add new fields to the segment. When I try to do Edit->Cancel Release it is throwing below error.
"Error while resetting release of segment Z1PXXXX
Message no. EA259"
Could anyone tell me how to overcome this error or the root cause of this error?
Many Thanks,
Sri
Edited by: Arunsri on Nov 10, 2009 8:37 AM

Hello,
The reason that you are getting these errors is that you cannot cancel
the release of an extension made in previous version e.g. 4.6C. Instead you have to
create a new extension.
It is not possible to change a segment definition which is released in a
lower release. This is a basic concept of our release strategy to
guarantee compatibility between different releases.
You must create a new segment definition for the new release e.g. 620 with a new segment
field with the appropriate length. In transaction WE20, outbound parameters, you can specify
the "segment release in IDoc type" for the communication. Please read the F1 help of this field for further
information.
For your own segments you can define a new version of the segment via
transaction WE31 -> Add Version (Shift+F5).
Please review your online help for more information on this and related topics.
Hope this information helps.

David

Problem with creation of IDOC Segment Type

Hi,
I tried to create IDOC Segment Type Z1LFA1 but error
prompted "Structure Z1LFA1 already exist.".
I tried deleting it at se11 but prompted
"You cannot edit object R3TR TABL Z1LFA1 with the
standard editor"
and at sm30-TADIR, but prompted
with "Cannot delete object directory entry, object exists."
How will go about this??
Please help!
Thanks!

hi,
yup, tried doing that on we31 but the segment does not exist yet.
we're currently upgrading from 4.6 to ecc, I think the structure
was tranferred to our ecc client but the idoc segment and idoc type were not. I'll just have to transport it then.
Thanks!

How to Read Idoc - Segment fields values and status messages

Hi,
I am having one requirement as i want to read the segments along with the field values and also i want to read all the status messages.
first i read the idoc data from EDIDS and segments data from EDID4 and the staus messges from T100. but still i am not getting all the status messages.
is there any other table which contains the information of IDOC segments and field values and also the status messages.
Regards,

You need to use
V_MSGNO = EDIDS-STAMNO.
CALL FUNCTION 'MESSAGE_PREPARE'
EXPORTING
    MSG_ID   = EDIDS-STAMID
    MSG_NO   = V_MSGNO
    MSG_VAR1 = EDIDS-STAPA1

Idoc segment field length changes

Hi friends,,
I am new to idoc.
My requirement is in my segment
i am having 5 fields and also this segment is already realeased one.
i wnat to change the field length from 10 to 20 . how to do this ?
actually what i did is
1. i cancel the release for that segment.
2. in that field inside the dataelement i changed the field length from 10 to 20.
3. data elemnt get chaged from 10 to 20 but Export length for that field in Idoc segment still retain the 10 only
can you plz how to resolve this
deva

Hi,
The way you used is right. ( cancel release or create a new segment )
After you cancel release, try delete that field, and insert a new one.
If it isn't valid still, create a new segment instead.

Custom idoc segment fields not populated

Way back in 1999 someone create a custom Idoc type with custom Idoc segments in it. Unfortunately, they forgot to release one of the segments.
Recently a change was request to add new fields to this custom segment. In order to get the fields transported the segment had to be released.
All worked fine in Dev and the new Idoc segments were populated as expected. However when the idoc segment was moved to the test system all visually appears to be fine but when the idoc is created (status 50) the new fields are not popultated.
In 40B the start of the inbound process was IDOC_INBOUND_DATA. Does anyone know what the new starting point is in 4.7??
I beleive the error is actually that SData is not reading all the input values and stopping right where the old fields end in teh custom segment.
Thanks,
Anthony

additionally,
SAP will not allow us to release the basic idoc type because it was released in 40B. It also will not allow us to cancel the release since we are now in 620. So, unless anyone has input for this I think the only solution will be to create a successor IDoc type and change our apps to use the new IDoc type with it's enhancements.

IDOC-Segment Created a idoc document against Billing document

Dear All,
Thanks in advance.
Already created a idoc document against Billing document and one of the IDOC segment is not in the IDOC document output segments(WE05) actually it missed the segment.
so i want to add the segment which it was missed during generation of IDOC document against billing document.
Example:
a) IDOC document misses one segment let suppose "Seg1".
b) In "Seg1" it have only one field let suppose "Field1".
c) But "Field1" does not have any value while generation of IDOC document so it doesn't create the respective segment in IDOC document.
d) so here, i want to edit the IDOC document to add the "Seg1" in the IDOC document and reprocessing the IDOC document.
Please help on this issue.
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hello,
          If your requirement is to have the Segment even with only 1 Field, you'll have to create an Idoc Extension in WE30.
         In order to populate the Custom Segment, Use the Customer Function '002' in the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC which is EXIT_SAPLVEDF_002 where you can actually insert the Segment as a Child Segment of an Appropriate Segment.
        You can go for Custom segment with the IDoc Extension so that you dont have to manually insert the Segment again and again while reprocessing it.
Thanks and Regards,

Adding field in standard IDOC Segment E1EDL24

Hello Friends,
I have an urgent requirement that I have to extend IDOC segment E1EDL24 with two fields PABNR and LFSNR.
When I tries to change the segment in WE31, it shows an error message that you can only modify the segments of customer namespace and cannot modify Standard IDOC Segments.
Can we modify the standard IDOC segments, and if yes, how can we modify the standard IDOC segments. Please clarify.
Points will be rewarded generously.
Regards,
Navin

Hi Naveen,
We cannot Modify the Standard segments. But we have to Create a new Segment and Add these fields.
Then Create an Extended Idoc type
Implement User Exits in Outbound And Inbound ..
This is the Complete Steps and Info on this...with an Example...
Enhancing ALE
For example, if in an outbound interface you find that the IDOC type does not contain all the data you need to pass to the other system, you can extend the IDOC to accommodate the additional fields and enhance the ALE function modules to populate the fields. Similarly, if in an inbound interface, there is additional data that needs to be posted to the R/3 application, you can extend the IDOC type to have additional fields populated by the external system or translator or the other R/3 system and then enhance the inbound ALE function modules to post the additional data to the R/3 application.
let us use the SAP Customer Master application as an example. Specifically, letâs focus on the IDOC extension and ALE function module enhancement of IDOC type DEBMAS02 and message type DEBMAS (Customer Master) and the IDOC reduction of message type MATMAS.
IDOC EXTENSIONS
Letâs first look at the concept of IDOC extension. SAP delivers Basic IDOC types such as DEBMAS02, MATMAS02, ORDERS02, and WMMBID01. By extending the Basic IDOC type, you are actually creating a new IDOC type. You create a new segment with the additional fields. This new segment has to be associated with one of the existing Basic IDOC segments. Then you create a new extension type, which is associated with the Basic IDOC type. This results in a new IDOC type. In order for ALE function modules to relate to this new IDOC type, the IDOC type is linked to the corresponding message type.
Note that you should not add fields to existing segments but should create a new segment and associate it with an existing segment. This, in a nutshell, is the process of creating IDOC extensions.
In our example, the Basic IDOC type DEBMAS02 is used to communicate Customer Master data to the SAP Customer Master application. Even though the application has a screen to enter and store a contact personâs business address (see Figure 1), DEBMAS02 does not have a segment or fields that communicate the contact personâs business address. If your business requires that this business address be communicated to the other system through the ALE interface for Customer Master, then you have to extend the DEBMAS02 IDOC type, and enhance the corresponding ALE function module.
In DEBMAS02 the contact person fields are present in segment E1KNVKM and the business address of the contact person is stored on the SADR SAP table. You need to create a new segment, Z1SADRX, that is associated with E1KNVKM. This will be done in the process of creating an extension type ZDEBMASX. This extension type will then be associated with a new IDOC type, ZDEBMASZ. IDOC type ZDEBMASZ will be linked to message type DEBMAS for Customer Master. The final step in the IDOC extension process is to check the new objects. This check also verifies the structural integrity of the IDOC type. Letâs look at each of these steps in more detail.
1. Create an Extension Type and a New Segment.
Determine the fields on table SADR that you are going to provide for in the new segment Z1SADRX. You need fields for name, street, city, region, and country to give the business address of the contact person. You also need fields for the address number. ADRNR is a field in SAP tables such as SADR that uniquely identifies the address of an entity. This field is cross-referenced from other tables to the SADR table to obtain the full description of the address. Because this is an IDOC type for master data, the first field of the new segment will be MSGFN. The message function field informs the receiving system of the action to be taken for that particular segment. In the code that you write for populating the new segment, the value of the message function is the same as that of the parent segment E1KNVKM. In all, you will have 12 fields in segment Z1SADRX (see Table 1).
To create an extension type and new segment:
Use transaction WE30 or from WEDI go to Development -> IDOC types.
Enter ZDEBMASX for Object Name.
Choose Extension Type.
Click on Create.
You will see a pop-up screen. Choose Create New, and enter a description. For version 4.x, enter DEBMAS02 in the Linked Basic Type field. Enter.
You will see a screen with ZDEBMASX and its description in the first line. Click on this line, and press Create. For version 4.x, expand the tree of segments, and place the cursor on E1KNVKM.
You will see a pop-up screen. Enter E1KNVKM as the reference segment. Enter.
For 4.x, press Create after placing the cursor on segment E1KNVKM.
You will see a line appear with E1KNVKM hierarchically below ZDEBMASX, with a description "Customer Master contact person (KNVK)."
Click on this line and press Create. You will receive a message indicating that the new segment being created will be a child segment of E1KNVKM. Enter. A pop-up box appears for the new segment.
Enter Z1SADRX as the segment type, 1 for Minimum, 1 for Maximum. Leave Mandatory segment unchecked. These entries imply that there is only one Z1SADRX segment for every occurrence of the E1KNVKM segment, and also that this segment is not mandatory. Note that if the parent segment is not mandatory, then the child segment should not be mandatory, because this could result in a syntax error during the creation or processing of the IDOC.
For 4.x, you must first create the IDOC segment Z1SADRX (Iâll explain why in a moment) from the menu path WEDI -> IDOC -> Development -> IDOC Segment.
Click on Segment Editor.
On the next screen, click on Create.
Enter a development class for the object. Enter.
This will take you to the screen for segment definition. Enter a description for the segment. Enter the field name, data element, and the data element documentation name. In most cases, all three fields may have the same values. If you are using a field in the segment that is not present in the ABAP/4 data dictionary, you must first create the domain, data element, field, and appropriate documentation before using it in the new segment.
Enter these three columns for all 12 fields. Save.
Click on Generate/Activate, F3 to step back.
From screen Maintain Segment, go to Segment Type -> Release. A checkbox now appears beside the segment definition Z1SADRX (see Figure 2). Check this box. Save.
Save again to store the descriptions of the segment, F3 to step back.
Save the extension type.
It is possible to have several new segments with relevant Basic IDOC type parent segments in a single extension type. However, you can form only one IDOC type based on a single extension type.
2. Create an IDOC Type.
The next step is to create an IDOC type by associating the extension type that you created with the Basic IDOC type. This is a simple process:
From transaction WE30 or WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Types.
Enter ZDEBMASZ for Object Name.
Click on IDOC Type.
Click on Create.
Enter DEBMAS02 for Basic IDOC type.
Enter ZDEBMASX for extension type.
Enter a description.
Enter.
You will see a display of the composite IDOC type with all segments, including Z1SADRX (see Figure 3).
It is possible to associate only one extension type with a Basic IDOC type for a given IDOC type. However, you can have multiple new segments in an extension type.
3. Link IDOC Type to Message Type.
The next step is to link the new IDOC type to its corresponding message type. This is important, because this relationship is referenced in the partner profile parameters where you specify the message type and IDOC type to be used for that particular representative system. To link the message type:
Use transaction WE82, or from WE30, go to Environment -> IDOC Type / Message Type, or from WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Type -> Environment Î IDOC Type / Message Type.
Click on Display <-> Change.
Click on New Entries.
Enter DEBMAS for message type.
Enter DEBMAS02 for Basic IDOC type.
Enter ZDEBMASX for extension type.
Enter your SAP R/3 release number for Release.
Save.
This data is stored on the EDIMSG table and is accessed by several ALE processes to relate the message type to the IDOC type.
4. Check the IDOC Type.
Before checking the IDOC type for consistency, it is important to perform another step that releases the extension type to the IDOC type:
From WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Types -> Extras -> Release Type, or from transaction WE30 go to Extras -> Release Type.
For the Object Name ZDEBMASX and radio button Extension Type, click Yes.
The extension type has now been "released."
You canât edit the extension type once itâs released. To cancel the release for further editing or deactivation, go to WE30 Î Extras Î Cancel release. The final step in the IDOC extension process is checking the validity of the IDOC type:
From transaction WE30 or WEDI go to Development -> IDOC types.
Enter ZDEBMASX for Object name.
Click on Extension Type.
From the Development Object menu select Check.
Repeat the operation for IDOC type ZDEBMASZ.
A check log will be generated for each run with details of correctness or errors (see Figure 4).
In some situations it is possible to receive errors during the check process, especially segment length errors. The incorrect IDOC segment can be repaired and corrected by executing program RSEREPSG. This program checks the formal consistency and repairs incorrect segments. In test mode it will generate a log of formal correctness for the specified segment only. For the program to repair segments in normal mode, the underlying IDOC structures (DDIC structures) must be active. This program rectifies the lengths of the DDIC structures and not the fields themselves. RSEREPSG can also be used to change the person responsible for the object and the release flag.
Menu paths may vary slightly depending on the release/version of SAP R/3, but the procedures and the principles are the same.
ALE FUNCTION MODULE ENHANCEMENTS
Having extended the IDOC type to contain additional fields for an inbound or outbound application, you now want to enhance ALE function modules for populating the additional segment on the outbound or applying the additional segment data on the inbound application.
The core working code for ALE processes for a given application area is always encapsulated in ABAP/4 function modules. These function modules are associated with such control information as message types and process codes. So the ALE process checks this control information and derives the name of the function module to invoke for that particular IDOC processing from certain database tables. These function modules contain objects known as customer functions, which can be considered SAP Enhanced user exits. A function module is called at a particular point during the processing of the main program or function module, and it can be used to influence data processing at that point by adding code to the customer function. The customer function behaves like a normal function module and has import and export parameters, tables (internal tables) statement, and exception processing. Unlike a conventional user exit, customer functions give you the ability to modify only data available to you by the function moduleâs parameters and internal tables. While most ALE/EDI function modules are supported by customer functions, there are ALE/EDI processes that still use conventional user exits. There are a few ways to determine which function module to enhance for a given message type/process code:
For master data distribution, from SALE go to Extensions -> Master data distribution -> Setup additional data for message types. Search for message type DEBMAS in this example. You see an entry for DEBMAS associated with function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_DEBMAS. This data is stored on table TBDME. The function module names for all master data message types follow this pattern: MASTERIDOC_CREATE_SMD_messagetype. This function module calls another function module of name MASTERIDOC_CREATE_DEBMAS or MASTERIDOC_CREATE_messagetype. Search for the words customer function, and you find several hits that can be used to add code to the function module.
From WEDI got to Control -> Inbound process codes -> Inbound with ALE service -> Processing by function module (transaction WE42), or from WEDI go to Control -> Outbound process codes -> Outbound with ALE service -> With function module (transaction WE41). There will be function modules associated with the process codes. For inbound, the function modules usually follow this pattern: IDOC_INPUT_messagetype: for example, IDOC_INPUT_CHRMAS for inbound characteristics master.
Use transaction WE57 or from WEDI go to Development -> Message/Application Object. The entries list the function module, Business Object, message type, and IDOC type that are used for inbound ALE/EDI interfaces.
Customer functions are not specific only to ALE and EDI but also to all programs/modules in SAP R/3. Customer function is a SAP enhancement component; the other two types are menu and screen enhancements.
All customer function exits are maintained in SAP enhancements and are found by using transaction SMOD. After executing transaction SMOD, pull down (F4) on the enhancement name field, and execute again. This provides you with a list of all SAP enhancements available. SAP enhancements are grouped by development class pertaining to an application area. Choose Application development R/3 SD master data distribution for development class VSV to lead to a screen that lists VSV00001 as an enhancement (see Figure 5). Press Component +/- to display its function exit components. There are four possible components listed, all of which are function exits (and are function modules) that are called from the ALE function modules in the form Call Customer Function Î001â. This is a special occurrence of the ABAP statement Call. Go to item Exit_SAPLVV01_ 001, which you need to enhance for the Customer Master outbound example of an IDOC extension. In the ALE-function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_DEBMAS, the statement CALL Customer Function 001 is translated in the background to call component EXIT_SAPLVV01_001. Although this function exit can be edited using transaction SE37, you will use a simpler approach.
When you use SAP enhancements and their components, you manage them with an SAP object known as a project, which is like an envelope containing the selected enhancements and their components. A project can be used to control the execution of components and to transport them to other clients and instances in SAP. Basically, the process involves creating a project, including enhancements and components that are to be enhanced, editing the components, and then activating the project. The following process creates a project for our example Customer Master IDOC extension:
Execute transaction CMOD.
Enter name of project, say CSTMAST1.
Click on Create.
Enter a description of the project.
Save.
Click on SAP Enhancements.
Enter VSV00001 for Enhancement.
Save.
Once youâve created the project, edit the function exit components and activate the project. Remember that the code in the function exit enhancement will execute only if the project is activated. In fact, this is a convenient SAP enhancements feature, whereby the work in progress (developing code in the customer function) will not affect users of that application. When the code is completed, the project can be activated so the enhanced functionality takes effect. It can also be deactivated for maintenance.
As mentioned earlier, customer functions (function exits) are embedded in ALE function modules and can be used to influence the creation and modification of IDOC data on an outbound application or to post additional or modified IDOC data to an inbound R/3 application. Function exits are similar to regular function modules, with import/export parameters, tables (internal tables), and exceptions.
The two important factors to consider while developing the customer function are:
1. The point in the ALE function module where the function exit occurs
2. The data made available by the customer function that can be modified or posted to the R/3 application, based on the direction.
Because some function modules have several customer functions, it is critical to choose the function exit best suited for that particular enhancement. Do not attempt to perform activities that the function exit is not designed for. The importance of this point is illustrated by the following description of enhancing function modules for outbound and inbound ALE interfaces.
Outbound interfaces. In an outbound ALE interface you use function exits (customer functions) to populate additional segments created by an IDOC extension or to modify the existing IDOC data segments as per business requirements. Previously, you identified that enhancement VSV00001 has a component EXIT_SAPLVV01_001 (function exit), which can be used for populating the additional data segment Z1SADRX that you created in the IDOC extension ZDEBMASX (IDOC type ZDEBMASZ, based on Basic IDOC type DEBMAS02). You also learned that the ALE function module that calls this function exit is MASTERIDOC_CREATE_DEBMAS, which has a statement Call Customer Function 001.
Browse the function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_DEBMAS using transaction SE37. You will find that this customer function is invoked for every segment of IDOC type DEBMAS02. In fact, the function exit is called soon after the creation of an existing segment has been populated with data and appended to the IDOC data table (internal table). Also, the function exit is exporting the message type, IDOC type, and the segment name and is importing the IDOC extension type. It is also passing the IDOC data internal table. This indicates that the ALE function module is allowing you to populate additional segments for every existing segment and modify the existing segmentâs data.
Letâs write ABAP/4 code to accomplish the task of populating IDOC segment Z1SADRX with a contact personâs business address:
From SE37, display function module MASTERIDOC_CREATE_ DEBMAS.
Find Customer Function 001.
Double-click on 001.
The function EXIT_SAPLVV01_001 will be displayed.
Double-click on INCLUDE ZXVSVU01.
You will be asked to create a new include object. Proceed as desired.
Enter code (as in Listing 1).
Be sure to perform a main program check (Function Module -> Check -> main program) and extended program check (Function module -> Check -> Extended check).
Now that you have extended the IDOC and enhanced the ALE function module based on the requirements for the contact personâs business address on the Customer Master, letâs test the interface. You should create a logical system and define a port for this interface. You should also configure the Customer Distribution Model to indicate that message type DEBMAS is being distributed to this logical system. The only difference in configuration between a regular outbound ALE interface and an enhanced one is the partner profile definition. While maintaining the outbound parameters of the partner profile, make sure the IDOC type is ZDEBMASZ. The fields for Basic IDOC type and extension type are automatically populated with DEBMAS02 and ZDEBMASX, respectively.
To maintain the contact personâs business address of a customer:
Use transaction BD12 or from BALE go to Master Data ->Customer -> Send and send that Customer Master record by executing the transaction after filling in the relevant fields such as customer number, message type, and logical system.
Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to verify the IDOC created. You should see the new segment Z1SADRX populated with the correct data.
With SAP releases below 4.5B, you cannot capture changes to business address through change pointers because a change document object is not available for capturing business address changes, and also earlier releases have not been configured to write change documents for a contact personâs business address. If you would like this functionality, you can either create change document objects, generate function modules to create change documents, and perform ALE configuration to tie it in, or make a cosmetic change to the contact person screen data while changing the contact personâs business address so that it gets captured as a change to the Customer Master. Subsequently, the ALE enhancement that you performed captures the contact personâs business address.
Inbound interfaces. The process for enhancing inbound ALE interfaces is similar for outbound, with a few exceptions; specifically in the coding of customer functions (function exits) for the ALE/EDI function modules.
The first step is to create an IDOC extension for the specific Basic IDOC type by adding new segments at the appropriate hierarchy level: that is, associated to the relevant existing segment. Populate the data fields on the new segments with application data by the translator or external system/program before importing them into the R/3 System. Then, find the ALE function module that is invoked by the inbound processing. By browsing through the code or reading the documentation on the function exit enhancements using the SMOD transaction, identify the function exit in which you should place your code. The technique used in the code to post the additional or modified IDOC data to the application can vary based on the application rules and requirements, the data available at that point in processing, and the application function modules available to update the application tables. It is important to search first for application modules that process the data and see if they can be called within the function exit. If the additional data in the extended segments in specific to a custom table or resides in nonkey fields of a single or small set of tables, you may be able to update it directly by SQL statements in the function exit. This approach should be carefully evaluated and is certainly not highly recommended.
Another option is to use Call Transaction from within the function exit to process the additional data. For example, in the case of message type WMMBXY for inbound goods movements from a warehouse management system, the standard interface creates batches for materials, but does not update its characteristics. In such a case, you can use Call Transaction MSC1 to create the batch and assign characteristic values to it from within the function exit provided.
Error handling is a very important consideration when making enhancements to inbound ALE/EDI objects. In ALE and EDI inbound processing, workflow is used for handling errors at different levels such as technical and application. If workflow has been configured for the interface, the error messages and workflow items flow to the inbox of the named recipient(s).
It is also critical to enhance the workflow that handles notifications of the inbound ALE/EDI process. In most scenarios this is not a very difficult task because SAP lets you influence the workflow parameters and messages in function exits (customer functions). You typically do this using flags and message codes to trigger certain workflow actions. If you conform to the status codes and flags stipulated for workflow processing, the enhancement could be error-free and seamless. In the case of an inbound IDOC with an extension, you should populate the EDIDC fields IDOCTYP (new IDOC type) and CIMTYP (extension type) accordingly.

How to map idoc segment field E1IDB02-FIIKONTO with BSEG-ESRNR.

Hi,
I have searched for lot of threads in the forum , and also i tried myself but i am not able to map this fields segment with my logic, so please anyone kindly contribute in mapping idoc segment field with the logic given below:
idoc type :PAYEXT outbound idoc.
message type: PEXR2002
This is my logic: i need to populate the ISR number(BSEG-ESRNR ) in idoc segment field( E1IDB02-FIIKONTO)
DATA : str1 TYPE string,
      len1 TYPE i,
      len2 TYPE i,
      str2 TYPE string,
      str3 TYPE string.
str1 = '01-1234-4'. ---> BSEG-ESRNR "ISR Subscriber Number
REPLACE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF '-' IN str1 WITH '_'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '-' IN str1 WITH space.
CONDENSE str1.
len1 = STRLEN( str1 ).
IF len1 LT '9'.
len2 = '9' - len1.
CASE len2.
   WHEN '1'.
     REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH '00'.
   WHEN '2'.
     REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH '000'.
   WHEN '3'.
     REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH '0000'.
   WHEN '4'.
     REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH '000000'.
   WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ELSEIF len1 EQ '9'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH '0'.
ELSEIF len1 GT '9'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '_' IN str1 WITH space.
CONDENSE str1.
ENDIF.
Thanks in Advance.

EDI IDoc Segment Filtering Transactions

Hi All,
Is there any transaction for EDI IDoc segment filtering where partner profile is set up with partner type as 'customer' or 'vendor' (and not partner type as 'logical system' where ALE IDoc segment filtering transactions BD59 & BD64 can be used) ?
Thanks !

Thanks Lokeshwari.
Actually, a perticular field in an IDoc segment needs to be filtered. e.g. I dont want to send idocs with a perticular item category for ORDERS05 IDoc.
Is there any transaction to fulfill the same ?
