Idoc extension related issue

Hi,
I have a standard idoc type extended with a custom segment. I have mentioned the same in the corresponding partner profile(idoc type and the extension).
When I tried to import the meta data for this idoc in XI, it is taking it as ZXXXXX, instead of the standard idoc name. The incoming idoc is showing as a standard idoc with custom segments in it. But internally, what we have is of ZXXXX. Due to this i am getting errors.
Could anyone let me know how to import the idoc data with the standard SAP name and with custome segments in it?

Hi Raja,
As far as I know, everything you customize can not keep the standard name, otherwise it would be confusing. Therefore, you have to give a name to your customized Idoc (Zxxxx is a good choice)
Best regards,

IDOC number related to the delivery

Hi All,
I have issue regarding finding out IDOC related to a delivery.
When the output is processed for a delivery, idoc gets created. Now this idoc number gets stored in the EDIDC table. In delivery one can get the related idoc number by checking the processing logs for the output type.
Is there any specific FM which can give me the idoc number of the latest processed output type for that delivery. I have delivery number and output type.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Shahu

Hi..
I think need to add further to my question.
I have an interface progra in which I am sending IDOC details related to the delivery.
Now in this interface program, I have delivery no and the processed output type. Using this how can get the IDOC no. I cannot go to EDIDC to get the idoc no as it will be performance intensive or to any transaction. I need to code here to somehow get the idoc number using this delivery and output type.
I am trying the following approach but could not implement it so far.
In delivery is I go to header>output>check the processed output type -->processing log --> the idoc number will be present in this log.
I am trying to code in the interface program to read this idoc number present in processing log.
Is there any way I can achive this.

In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant . what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
10 steps on how to analyze....
unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

Set Release Level of IDoc Extension

I'm currently in the middle of an upgrade from 4.7 to 6.0. We're having an issue with IDoc INVOIC01, which has an extension called ZINVOIC01. The extension only has one segment with only one definition version, but the release was never set. Now I want to set the segment release level for the Idoc in the partner profile to 46B, but it errors out because of the extension. If I try to set the release on the extension now on 4.7 it goes to 620 and on 6.0 it goes to 701. Is there a way around this? Can I set the release to 46B in the extension somehow?
Thanks All,
Clint

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for the response! Let me try to explain from another angle. Here is the error message on the outbound IDoc after upgrade and partner profile config change: "Segment Z1EDP19 is unknown in Release 46B" (Status record 02 -Error passing data to port). The reason is because the IDoc extension to this segment was never released. The reason I'm trying to use release 46B is I want the same IDoc we had under 4.7. I'm specifing the release in the partner profile. If you don't specify a release in the partner profile you always get the newest release. Here is the segment definition for the standard segment:
008 E2EDP01008 700 603 52 543 08/24/2007
007 E2EDP01007 620 51 542 10/15/2004
006 E2EDP01006 46B 48 460 05/03/2000<--- I want this one!
005 E2EDP01005 46A 47 438 03/16/1999
Hope this helps explain.
Thanks again,

Help Everyone: IDOC Extension Problem

Hi All,
Ive created an idoc extension for idoc type ORDERS01. I appended an extension ZE1EDK01 below header segment E1EDK01. Im trying to populate this through an exit but I cant seem to find the right values for these specifically the segnum and hlevel:
wa_edidd-MANDT = SY-MANDT.
wa_edidd-SEGNUM = '000002'.
wa_edidd-SEGNAM = 'ZE1EDK01'.
wa_edidd-PSGNUM = '000000'.
wa_edidd-HLEVEL = '02'.
wa_edidd-DTINT2 = '1000'.
How do I determine the values above?
Also, I created an extension for item data segment E1EDP01. Im directly modifying the internal table of the IDOC and I want to populate the extension per line item in the idoc. How do I do this? Do I just append entries to EDIDD? How do I ensure that each entry appended corresponds to the correct line item?
Please help. I really need to finish this in 2 hours.
Thank you so much.
Best Regards,
Kenny

Hi,
I get what is the issue here. It is not because of using CASE statement or IF condition in LOOP.
You are using user-exit EXIT_SAPLEINM_002. This user-exit triggers for each segment added to IDOC. So this is what is happening.
- Segment E1EDK01 is added then user-exit triggers and it adds ZE1EDK01 segment.
- Now the next segment is E1EDK14. After this segment also the exit trigges. When you loop at int_edidd the very first segment is E1EDK01 and it again adds ZE1EDK01 segment.
So, for each segment in IDOC this exit triggers and add segment ZE1EDK01 under E1EDK01.
The solution is to use user-exit EXIT_SAPLEINM_011 instead.
This is very last user-exit which trigges in FM IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS and it has all the segment in it. So there is nothing wrong with your code but you are using wrong user-exit.
Let me know if you have any question.
Regards,
RS
Actually Srinivas is also right. If you use the user-exit EXIT_SAPLEINM_002 without using loop command and only using CASE statement it will work. OR you use user-exit EXIT_SAPLEINM_011. Its upto you.

Can we set up a forum for Security related issues?

I know many of us think security is a Windows related issue, but from time to time there are security issues that may come up. I had a question so I looked and couldn't find a forum, so I posted in one of the OS X 10.6 sub forums.
Thanks!

I am a co-founder of Calendar of Updates http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?act=idx This is a site that is primarily a Windows based security forum (I switched about 4-5 years ago). Over the years, I've tried to grow the Mac side of our forum, but, as you may know, there is little or no interest in security within the Mac community. For many, the feel security is a Windows issue.
It's a free site, so don't think I have a vested interest in growing the membership, I'm not an owner, either.
I just created an *Apple OS X Security Issues* forum http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?showforum=209
Right now it's an empty forum since it was created 10 minutes ago. Please feel free to join the forum and share security related issues and questions.

To everyone with IOS6 Sound related issues & Others

If you are facing a problem of not having any system sounds, notification sounds, no calls or other software sound related issues I'd suggest you read below it's a stupidly simple fix and it should solve most software issues after an immediate iOS6 update:
After updating unplug the phone from your computer and leave the phone alone for 5-10 minutes, if you still have problems: reboot, wait a few minutes and all sound related problems should be fixed.
When I updated to iOS 6 I had lost my system sounds, so I unplugged from the computer, rebooted the phone and still no go. I decided to just let the system "settle in" for a bit, let it lock and when I unlocked after 5-10 minutes sounds were back and everythings up and running again.

Well, to break it down. After my sounds finally came back (2nd time losing them) last night I decided to restore the phone in itunes. I did it twice. First time I backed up my data. Second time I restored it as a factory iPhone. Both times guess what NO SOUNDS! I also realized that last night I had lost my sounds after charging my phone and unplugging it from the data cord. I still have ringtones (when someone calls), but text messages, emails, and any other alert tones do not work. I cannot turn the volume up or down with the side buttons and also music does not play. It doesn't even have a slide bar at the bottom.
I am on the phone with apple care now. They seem to not be aware of the problem at all.
While I was on the phone with them my sounds ended up coming back, imagine that. Hopefully every time I charge my phone I am not going to have this issue.

Many Sporadic Preview Related Issues

Not sure if this is where to post/report Lightroom 5 issues or not, but here are preview-related issues I am experiencing...
Preview panel "preview" freezes indefinitely.
App very slow to load while creating new previews. (previews take forever to create and update)
Wrong previews showing for wrong images when swapping between folders, etc. (ie: all photos, last import, custom collections)
This one is a little different...
Ratings lost when switching between folders, etc. (ie: all photos, last import, custom collections)
This was a clean install that ran beautifully at first. Started noticing this more and more after using the spot tool. (my last step in processing a job)
I use separate catalogs per job. Some as small as a few dozen images. (family stuff) Others, as large as 500-600. (engagement and wedding clients)
Hope you are working on this. It's making work a struggle. I'm not just a "consumer". ;-)

This is a user to user forum so the responces you recieve here will mostly be from users like your self. I am sure someone will respond on how to help dealing with the problem you are experiencing.

PO Creation Using IDOC ORDERS05 - Inbound Issue

Hi Experts,
I am new to the ALE/IDOCs. I am trying to create a PO in one client and trasnferring it to another client using the IDOC extension. I am using Message type ORDERS and Basic type ORDERS05 (Extended). I have craeted Partner Profile for both Inbound and outbound in their respective clients.From Outbond the Purchase order is sent successfully to the Port. On the inbound the PO is failing due to incorrect function mudule chosen for processing through process code. I have tried process codes like ORDE,ORDS,DELO and ME11.
Please Let me know the corrects process code in the inbound, to process IDOC as PO.
If i need to go for all together a different mesasge type. Please give me all the relevant details like BASIC type, Process code in Inbound and outbound . And i want the BASIC type to be extensible.
Thanks,
Murali

Hi,
In the inbound side create a new entry in WE57 tcode.. with the functio mdoule as "IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS", basic type "ORDERS05", extn< specify the extn u created at outbound side>, message type "ORDERS". Now see if it is working.

Regarding IDOC Extension

Hi Experts,
I need to Extend IDOC COND_A03 with 5 Custom feilds. This Idoc will be populating 10 tables like A932,A933,A34,A35,A36,A37....,.I need to extend in
IDOC_INPUT_COND_A through exit CALL CUSTOMER FUNCTION '002'.
Here the 3 feilds will be present in A932 table and there will be only 4 feilds in A933 table and 3 feilds will be present in A934 table and so on. I..e all the 5 custom feilds will not be present in all the tables.
How i need to build the logic so that when the data comes to that function module i need to populate only 3 feilds into A932 table and 4 feilds into A933 table and so on..
How do i need to build the logic.., to post the data when the number of fields differ from one table to the other.

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.

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.

Find Idoc extension type for Basic Idoc type

Hi all,
Is there any way to find existing extesions for Idoc given by SAP? For example, for basic idoc DEBMAS05 for version 4.7 , Idoc extension is DEBMASEXT.
In similar way I want to know what is Idoc extension for Idoc basic type PREQCR02 [Create Purchase Requisition].
Thanks in advance.
Madhura

The reason is preqcr02 is a generated idoc type and matmas05 and debmas05 are not generated idoc types .
You can search in table EDBAS for this . If you go for dynamic debuggin , message comes from form
create_ext_structure in include MSED5F02
data: l_edbas type edbas.
select single * from edbas into l_edbas
     where idoctyp eq edi_iapi01-idoctyp.
if l_edbas-generated eq 'X'.
   message e099(b1) with
      'Action is not possible for generated idoctypes'.
endif.
