IDOC EDI mapping ..

hi,
Please let me know if my understanding is correct. In SAP EDI setup two people involved, ABAP programmer who customzes the IDOCS, sets up the EDI setup on SAP side like number ranges, partner profiles, condition records, message control etc and monitors the IDOC status till it is transmitted to the EDI subsystem and also the IDOCs received at SAP end.
The other person is an EDI specialist who will map the IDOCs to the EDI doc set based on trading partner requirements in the EDI subsystem.
So the ABAP deveoper need not know anything about the mapping done at EDI subsystem ?? His job is only at the SAP end ?? Am I right ??
thanks

Hi,
Ur assumptions are correct up to some extent...
What will happen SAP EDI implementation proejcts is most of the times it is the SAP technical people responsibility to do the EDI mapping also.
So an ABAPer with EDI knowledege(ABAP/EDI consultant) will take care of SAP EDI settings at SAP side and he/she will develop the mapping document and hand over the same to EDI sybsystem provider.
EDI subsystem people will feed the mapping instructions into EDI subsystem based on ur mapping document.Core EDI people will not understand the SAP terminology and as ABAP/EDI consultant will take of both settings.For an ABAP/EDI consultant also will not be given full access of EDI subsystem and u will only hand over the mapping docuemnt(IDOC segments to EDI standards mapping ) and they will feed the instructiona and get back 2 u for any doubts..
Hope this help.Let me know if u need any help for further understanding..

Generating IDoc DDF structures for EDI mapping

Hello all,
I am looking for a way to generate IDoc DDF structures to use them in the EDI mapping in Gentran.
I was able to find one on ERPGenie.com (developed by Kevin Wilson) but it is only available for ECC 4.x. We are on ECC 6 and the program gives me an ABAP dump when I try to run it.
Does anyone have the fix for this code? Or perhaps another way to accomplish this task?
Actually, I am only interested in generating the MBGMCR02 IDoc
Thanks for your help

It's been a long time since I have done any IDOC processing.
Go to SE37 and enter the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS. Display the source code. Search for "CALL CUSTOMER". You should see several "CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION" lines. These are enhancements where you can manipulate the IDOC data. If you locate the correct one (where the data is read from the IDOC but not yet validated), you should be able to map the partner function value. Double-clicking on the number in quotes will bring you to an "EXIT_" function module. A "ZX" INCLUDE program is referenced. If you haven't used the exit yet, double-clicking on the ZX INCLUDE will create it. The values passed into the function module are available in the INCLUDE.
Ideally, you should create a project in transaction CMOD that references the chosen enhancement. This way you can activate/deactivate without commenting/uncommenting the code in the INCLUDE.

EDI Mapping

Hi,
As my client is implementing EDI through a trusted link, they had asked me to take care of the mapping section along with the development of interfaces.
As generally the middleware or translator people would do the mapping processes, it is totally new for me.
Please advise me in this regard where to start and what is the my job into this.
Do i have to map the incoming or outgoing edi standards to idoc segments.
If so, what are the all things i need to know and do.
As i have ample time, it would be nice for a quick start into it.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Anandh.B
Points would be awarded for everyone ............

Anandha,
As you mentioned, EDI mapping is typically done using a middleware tool or EDI Translator. Are they asking you to do mapping in ABAP or is there another tool you are going to use?
If you are going to write ABAP programs to do your mapping you have a big challenge ahead of you. You will need to become familiar with whatever EDI standards you will be mapping from. These standards will have the layout of the messages that you will receive.
If you are going to code all of this in ABAP you don't necessarily have to go to IDOCs however it can be very helpful when loading data. By using SAP's IDOC technology and processing you have better traceability into the transaction posting in your system.
In general this is what you will probably need to know:
1. Which EDI messages you will need to translate
2. Which IDOC types those messages correspond with
3. The structures of both the EDI messages and IDOCs
4. Setup of SAP IDOC system. (Execute area menu WEDI from the main screen in SAP)
5. Set up of the application data for IDOC processing - particularly in the outbound - which partners will be recieving which messages
I am sure there is a lot more but this will hopefully get you started.

IDOC/EDI/ALE

Hello guys...
can u please give me the detailed flow of IDOC process in an EDI ,like how idoc is created,messag type,procees code,rfc desitination.
then how idoc can be generated...from transaction or function module and where to write a code like this etc.,
i will be gald if u can provide some good info.
PS: responses will be rewarded.

Hi
Welcome to SDN forum
IDOC
Data Creation in Idoc
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.
IDoc is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.
*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).
*Electronic Interchange Document
*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.
*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
*IDocs exchange messages
*IDocs are used like classical interface files
IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.
WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.
An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.
FOr testing you can use WE19.
How to create idoc?
*WE30 - you can create a IDOC type

http://www.allsaplinks.com/idoc_search.html
http://www.sapgenie.com/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
http://www.erpgenie.com/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30 )
Create Message Type ( WE81 )
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82 )
Creating a Segment
Go to transaction code WE31
Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon
Type the short text
Enter the variable names and data elements
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set Release
Follow steps to create more number of segments
Create IDOC Type
Go to transaction code WE30
Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon
Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter
Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon
The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes
Choose the appropriate values and press Enter
The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.
Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation
Save it and go back
Go to Edit -> Set release
Create Message Type
Go to transaction code WE81
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter
Click New Entries to create new Message Type
Fill details
Save it and go back
Assign Message Type to IDoc Type
Go to transaction code WE82
Change the details from Display mode to Change mode
After selection, the system will give this message The table is cross-client (see Help for further info). Press Enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.
Fill details
Save it and go back
Check these out..

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:
Create Segment ( WE31)
Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
Create Message Type ( WE81)
Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

EDI
Electronic Data Interchange
Cross-company exchange of electronic data (for example business documents) between domestic and international business partners who use a variety of hardware, software, and communication services. The data involved is formatted according to predefined standards. In addition to this, SAP ALE technology is available for data exchange within a company.

EDI FLOW :
Here is some thing which helps you and here the purchase order is taken as example too..
Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI, is the electronic exchange of business data. Using a standard format, EDI provides a method of transmitting business data from one computer to another, without the need to re-key data. This electronic link can result in more effective business transactions. With EDI, paper documents such as invoices can be replaced with electronic transmissions, thus time is saved, and the potential for error is minimized. Data can be exchanged at any time. Related business expenses, such as postage, printing, phone calls, and handling, can also be significantly reduced. EDI can aid in the support of manufacturing efforts, such as Just-in-Time and Third Party Warehousing, and financial efforts, such as Electronic Payments.
What parts of the business cycle can be supported by EDI?
Any business documents that are currently exchanged using paper can be converted to an EDI. Standards. Standards include ANSI X12 and XML/EDI are primarily used in the United States, while EDIFACT is used in Europe and Asia.
How does EDI get started?
EDI gets started when one company contacts another expressing interest in trading business documents electronically using Electronic Data Interchange. The two companies must first determine each other's EDI capabilities. If you do not already know your EDI capabilities, we have prepared a questionnaire to help you determine them. If you are already EDI capable, we will coordinate with your technical staff to determine a testing plan. Upon completion of testing the EDI documents, the appropriate business personnel will set a production start date to begin the exchange of EDI business data. If you are not EDI capable, we recommend you first obtain a commitment from your upper management. Your company will need to allocate resources and capital for software, hardware, testing, possible programming, and training.
What is the flow of EDI?
The flow of EDI depends on the sophistication of your systems and your EDI software. If you have internal purchasing/order entry systems, you will need interface programs that can extract and insert data out of and into these systems. EDI programs that interface with your internal systems are preferred over software that requires re-keying of data. Embassy Software specializes in seemless interface between EDI and your back office systems. Using a purchase order as an example of a business document your customer would send that PO electronically (850) to you. It could be sent either through a VAN (Value Added Network) or through an FTP server. You would take that 850 and convert it either into and ODBC database, a flat file or XML document to be imported into your Order System with the use of EDI Software such as PassportXchange.. Using EDI communication software, which is part of the PassportXchange package you would pull down data at set intervals from the VAN or FTP. These documents are then processed through EDI translation software and output to our order entry system. Finally, an EDI document called a functional acknowledgment (997) is sent to your customer.

Hi Guru,
Can u give me the detail idea and configuration steps in a sequence of the following -ALE,IDOCS,EDI,BAPI,BADI
your perfect answer would be very helpful and i will cosider u as a real hiro in sap abap in my mind and heart

Hi Manas,
EDI
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.It is mainly an interface which acts as a moderator between SAP and non SAP system.EDI is used to transfer Datas to R/3 from NonSAP system or Other SAP system.
EDI uses IDOC as its interface component.Which mean EDI is a concept and IDOC is like protocol.
EDI is configured in the R/3. It has Outbound folder and indboud folder.
Outbound folder:This contains the data to be send to the nonSAP system
Inbound folder:
This contains the data from the nonSAP to R/3 or SAP system.
status processing
This holds the status of message from SAP to NonSAP and from Non-SAP to SAP. So that if any error occurs in transfereing Message it is easily traced out.

Which field from idoc INVOIC01 maps to Item Text field in MIRO transaction?

Hi
Will anybody please tell me which of the field in which segment of IDOC INVOIC01 maps to Item text (INVFO-SGTXT) field in Basic data tab of MIRO transaction

Thanks Ravi for your response.
But I have tried with all fielsd related to texts in IDOC but it is not being filled in transcation .
If you see the F4 help in text field then Text Id is four character and when I manually assign this in transactin then it is putting = symbol in fron of the id. And then if we save or go to other tab then it is filling text.
I am not able to find the error bcoz document is being posted through idoc but text field is not getting filled.

Regarding EDI Map

Hi All,
I created EDI Map . Positioning fieldds are not able to understand.
Please can u guide when a Zfield is there how did u MAP in the document.
Thks & regards
Venkat

Hi suresh suresh ,
Suppose you are having three views to be displayed based on the road map selection.
create three view container Ui Element in the main view
create a node in the component controller with attributes visibility_view1, visibility_view2, visibility_view3.
map the node to the main view.
bind the visibility property of each view container UI element to the corresponding attributes in the newly created node.
Then go to window , embedd each view to corresponding view containers.
now on the action of each step of the road map make the attribute visibility_view to false or true depending on you logic required.

How ALE, IDOCS, EDI concepts are helpful to BW consultant

hi,
can you pls tell me how ALE, IDOCS, EDI concepts are helpful to bw consultant.
thanks.

Hi,
Messages related to ALE / EDI / IDOC are defined in transaction WE47. You cannot change description of these message. Yes, you can change "Qualification" of the message but it is not recommended. Qualification affect further idoc processing.
Let me know if you need any other information.

EDI Mapping to ORDERS IDOC - urgent

Hi All,
My scenario is creation of sales orders in R/3 using inbound EDI messages.
Source is the Seeburger external definition(ORDERSV9)(Copied object into my name space) and the target message is the orders IDOC(R/3)(imported).
my question is: we have many segments and the feilds in the target message(IDOC). how will in know which feilds from source message are mapped to the correct feild in correct segment of the target message.
Please clarify as I'm stuck in Mapping?
Cheers,
Smith

Hi Liang,
I know the structure, feilds and the data in the feilds of the EDI structure. I just need to know to which target feilds in IDOC the respective source feilds are mapped to?
In target IDOC structure we have nearly 100 feilds and i'm not sure which feilds are to be mapped to create a sales order in R/3.
Fucntional consultants couldnt help much and are not completely aware where the data is posted in the sales order from the feilds in the idoc structure.
I'm waiting for any EDI experts to respond. Will see
Cheers,
Smith

IDoc to EDI mapping problem (Invoic01 to 810 v4010)

Hi,
I have a problem with my invoice mapping.
I need to exclude children parts from the outbound EDI invoice.
In my mapping I was able to control the number of lines that should go out from the top line item node level using:
G_SIT1 -> If E1EDP02-QUALF = 002 then E1EDP02-ZEILE->Remove Context->SplitByValue->CollapseContext->G_STI1
I have the right amount of lines but the fields under G_STI1 are wrong since I'm missing the last ones.
Then I tried different combinations + playing with the contexts and played again with the top node and my conclusion is that it might be easier to exclude them in IDoc in SAP using an UserExit?!?
Anybody was able to get around this problem without changing the IDoc in R/3?

Can I filter on a partner type KU? I need to customize an outboud invoice to not send some segments.
Or is it only for type LS?
Rgds,
Yves
