For IDOC,How can I call PAYEXT before EUPEXR?

Question

Hello,
How can we control the flow sequence of IDOc message type.
The flow should be first PAYEXT and the EUPEXR.
The data from PAYEXT is getting updated in ztable.
Based on PAYEXT record EUPEXR record will be updated in ztable.
Currently EUPEXR is called before PAYEXT.
Please help me with the above problem.
Regards,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
If you want to run the job a single time, you can either click on Start Condition -> Immediate  Or Date/Time (when you want it to run) and then click on save.
Since you are a beginner I'd advice you use immediately. To see status of the job go to TCode SM37.
If these Idocs are periodically sent i.e. any number of idocs are sent daily, you will need to make the job periodic.
In that case, choose Start Condition -> Immediate Or Date/Time when you want it to start running.
Then click on Period Values at the bottom. Choose Hourly then save twice.
Based on how often you receive these Idocs, you can choose the period values.
Setting periodic values will make the job run after that time interval.
e.g. In the above scenario, the job will be triggered every hour.
