IDOC ans BAPI

Hi Gurus,
Please explain what is the role of IDOC AND BAPI?
Where and why do we use them?
Best Regards,
Kapil

Hello Kapil,
an Idoc ("Intermediate Document") is a SAP proprietary data file comparable to an XML document and is used for EDI szenarios (e.g. data transfer between suppliers and customers) or ALE or central user administration szenarios. There is an interface in R/3 for sending/receiving/processing Idoc's.
A BAPI is a remote callable "function module", an atomic code piece in R/3. In the context of OOP it is a method of a business object.
Try the following links:

IDOC -to -BAPI -to -BAPI scenario

Hi ,
my scenario is IDOC - to - BAPI - and BAPI(Response) -to - BAPI (Req) .
I think a bit confusion . Actually I'm getting the data from MDM system through an IDOC into XI system and I want to post this data into an ECC system by using RFC. so, up to this level scenario is simple IDOC - to - RFC. but i want to post the RFC response message to MDM system . for posting this reponse in MDM system they created a simple BAPI and that BAPI will post the data into a ZTABLE in MDM system . so i want to pass the BAPI(ECC system) response message to BAPI(MDM system).
So, please suggest me the steps and how can we achive this..
Because for creating the Out bound interface as synchronous system is not accepting one IDOC message and and one BAPI message.
Regards
Jain

Hello,
You can achieve this using BPM
Async Rec - transfortm - sync send (Req/Response)- transform - send response

LSMW: Idoc or BAPI; which one is better and why ?

Hi All,
In LSMW, given the choices between Idoc and BAPI,which processing method is good and why?
Please do reply asap. Its urgent.

IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI

Hi,
I want to understand the difference between IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI in context to a functional consultant.what is the role of each with an EXAMPLE.I want to basically understand with examples w.r.t SD or MM instead of theory which i could get in forum.
What is the role of a functional SD consultant, in these technology mentioned?
If i have to Test a BAPI or BADI what is that i should test???what is the T codes to be tested ? How to go about it??
Like in case of Order to cash testing, i will check if the sales cycle runs well, using T codes, Va01, vl01n, vf01.
Awaiting reply.
Thanks

Hi Lekshmi,
I want to understand the difference between IDOC/ALE/BAPI/BADI in context to a functional consultant.
what is the role of each with an EXAMPLE.
I want to basically understand with examples w.r.t SD or MM instead of theory which i could get in forum.
What is the role of a functional SD consultant, in these technology mentioned?
Idoc/ALE/BAPI/BADI are basically advanced functionalities available in ABAP. These are treated as seperate module by somebody as "Cross Applications".
If we get in
IDOC is the concept which works for Third party communication from SAP.
Scenarion 1:
For example: I am a Buyer from your Company and i don't have SAP system where you have SAP Practice. I had given you one Order for which i need Confirmation and it needs to understand by my system. In this case IDOC is useful to transfer the confirmation details to my system understandable language. This can be acheived by any other outputs like e-Mail/Printout/Fax. But for these kind of Outputs thers is one limitation. those are in document form means if you take the print out it confirmation can be taken as a print out as a hard copy or soft coy by saving into PDF format. but that data cannot be accessed by my system to convert that data for further my own reporting purpose. if we use IDOCs.
These Idocs are transferred through Middleware and reach third party system (in this example my own system which does not have SAP) and store the details. later i can use that data how ever i can for my internal reporting purpose.
Scenario 2:
ALE: ALE also works like above, but the difference is this works for SAP-SAP communication. if i take the above example.... I have SAP System being a buyer and you have SAP sytem. Order Confirmaiton come from your system to my system.
If i have to Test a BAPI or BADI what is that i should test???what is the T codes to be tested ? How to go about it??
Like in case of Order to cash testing, i will check if the sales cycle runs well, using T codes, Va01, vl01n, vf01.
There is no such tcodes to test the enhancement functionality.
I assume you knows SAP SD.
If i take the example of SD Sales Order.
PO Number field is to explain the enhancement testing.
Your client enhanced the functionality of PO Number for which you are doing the testing for example.
now you get inside of the VA01 transaction and put all the headeer data and PO Number and press enter.
then based on the enhancement functionality system will act.
For example.. you had given AAA111 for Customer 123456.
You have entered Inside of VA01 and entered Sold and Shipto numbers as 123456. then entered PO number as BBB111 and press enter.
As per the enhancement you suppose to enter PO number as AAA111 for customer 123456, but you entered as BBB111.
Based on your enhancements system will through the error saying you entered wrong PO Number.
This is the testing part usually Functional Guy do.
Please let me know if you have any further clarification
Thanks & Regards

IDOC and BAPI issue

Hi Experts,
I am using an idoc which is internally calling a BAPI - BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
I need to pass data custom fields from idoc to bapi BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST .
For this in the change method of the BADI BADI_ACC_DOCUMENT, I have written the code.
The BAPI has extension2 defined in it.
The inbound idoc has a segment E1BPPAREX which has the contents like this:
STRUCTURE
VALUEPART1
VALUEPART2
VALUEPART3
VALUEPART4
How to fill the data to see whether my Zfields are getting passed?
The code in the change method of the BADI is:
DATA: WA_EXTENSION TYPE BAPIPAREX,
           WA_ACCIT TYPE ACCIT,
           EXT_VALUE TYPE C LENGTH 960,
           L_TABIX TYPE SY-TABIX.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <L_STRUC> TYPE ANY,
                               <L_FIELD> TYPE ANY.
DATA: L_REF TYPE REF TO TE_STRUC.
SORT C_EXTENSION2 BY STRUCTURE.
LOOP AT C_EXTENSION2 INTO WA_EXTENSION.
    AT NEW STRUCTURE.
      CREATE DATA L_REF TYPE (WA_EXTENSION-STRUCTURE).
      ASSIGN L_REF TO <L_STRUC>.
    ENDAT.
    CONCATENATE WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART1 WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART2
                WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART3 WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART4
       INTO EXT_VALUE.
    MOVE EXT_VALUE TO <L_STRUC>.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'ITEMNO_ACC' OF STRUCTURE <L_STRUC> TO <L_FIELD>.
    CLEAR: WA_ACCIT.
    READ TABLE C_ACCIT WITH KEY POSNR = <L_FIELD> INTO WA_ACCIT.
    IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
      L_TABIX = SY-TABIX.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING <L_STRUC> TO WA_ACCIT.
      MODIFY C_ACCIT FROM WA_ACCIT INDEX L_TABIX TRANSPORTING ZZPRDCD
                                                              ZZXXX
                                                               ZZXXX.
                                                                 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
where ZZXXX is my custom fields.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi,
I donu2019t know , if I understand ur issue correctly or not.
You wanna know whether ur zfield in the extension idoc are getting fiiled thru Bapi or not?
Just go to WE19 and give any Existing idoc number realted to Document posting and fill the Extended segments with your data and execute. Befor this put a break-point in ur badi implemantation and check it.
Revrt back if any issues.

Naveen

Diff... between ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI --- Not clear and clarify

Hi All
    I am learning XI and the difference between " ALE, IDOC, RFC, BAPI, BADI "
    Not clear and when to use what and how in point of XI ?
   Pl..clarify me
Adv..thanks and points
--- Rakesh Behera

Hi
This will expalin you every thing ...pl..go through
The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.
IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.
While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.
The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.
I hope this will help you to understand the difference bet..those

Example Code
U need to give the step_nr, item_nr, cond_count and cond_type so the correct conditon will be updated. If no condition exists for the given parameters, a new condition will be created.
U can find these parameters for a particular condition type in table KONV.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest
exceptions
connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
others = 3.
call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
exporting
clsid = g_c_clsid
typelib = g_c_typelib
importing
instid = g_f_oid
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
exporting
%instid = g_f_oid
%method = 'UpdatePDF'
sntemp = g_v_const_filent
snsysid = sy-sysid
snflag = 'N'
tables
rssaptable = g_t_pdfdetail1
%return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
then close the com session , using
FM delete_com_instance
FM END_COM_SESSION
Thanks and regards,

Are there any standard Idocs or Bapis for posting the data into transaction

Hi,
Are there any standard Idocs or Bapis for posting the data into transactions ME42N and IK11?
Thank You.

Thank you.
Any idea of the other one?

Regarding Selection of IDOC Or BAPI

Hi All,
I have One Doubt on Choosing IDOC or BAPI
If We Have Scenario like File to R/3 .
Here I have the Standard IDOC And I have a Suitable BAPI also To Achieve this.
Then Which one I have to Select in both
Regards
Vamsi

Hi vamsi for your scenario File to R/3
you can go for file to Idoc scenario
below links will help u for this scenario , if stuck anywhere pls mail me , will solve

Idoc to BAPI n viceversa

Hi All
I have to implement a scenario which converts Idoc to BAPI n vice versa
Can u give me step by step solution for the above..
Plz find the solution as early as popssible
Thanks

HI,
Your scenarios are IDOC to RFC and RFC to IDOC.
Follow the below links
for IDOC -> XI:
/people/prateek.shah/blog/2005/06/08/introduction-to-idoc-xi-file-scenario-and-complete-walk-through-for-starters
for XI -> RFC
weblog have a look at this one (with BPM):
