Idoc Filters and Conversions
Hi all,
I am trying to send an Idoc from sender to reciever side. While sending that I just want to flter some fields and segments. I know that while creating the model view few fields can be filtered. If I want to filter more fields, for that mater If I want to filter segment what should I need to take care of ? Is this done in tcode or any process ? same is the case with conversions ? Where are they done and how ? Kindly pease let me know the details.
Regards,
Varun.
Hi.
you can reduced message type in T-code :BD53... ( Filter fields) for segmnet filter :BD56
BD65 for Maintain IDoc type required fields
You can create your Own segment in WE30 and see segment in WE31 ( if you want to add some fields )
Hope thisll help you .
Pl ..award the points .
Thanks

Suggestion for IDoc creation and conversion program
Hi Experts,
I want to send the data from SAP to Non-SAP System. The Non-SAP System needs the text file with delimiter.
So which way is better to send the data.
Via a IDOc with ALE OR
Just download the file by the program and send it to Non-SAP System.
Please suggest me, which option is best and cheapest and need the advantage and disadvantage for both the ways. And also how many hours will took to implement each scenarios.
As per my knowledge, The Idoc with ALE will took 3 Days to build the setup and prepare the IDoc and Conversion program will took 1.5 days to prepare the file.
Note:There are maximum 8 fields needs to send to the Non-SAP System from SAP. So not much information.
Thanks in Advance,
Warm Regards,
VijayHi Gangisetty,
For less no. of fields transfer there is no need at all to go with ALE.
If there is some Standard Master Data to be transfered then IDOC comes very handy.
But if requirement is to fetch data from different tables and some formatting before sending to Legacy System then you should go with conversion Report which will fetch all required data, format or manipulate as per requirement and then using outbound control it can send the flat file Common Shared FTP folder.
Using Conversion Report which will required less development time and you can schedule it as per bussiness requirement.
Using ALE-IDoc may consume some time as you need to create Partner Profile, Logical System etc and it might be required to have PI(XI) as middleware for some internal formatting etc.
Though, Both ways are possible it's upto your call which way to go.
As per info given by you i would suggest to by Conversion Report Method.

Difference btw idoc ale and edi
Hi all,
I'm a beginner in abap, can anyone send me the concepts of ALE, IDOC and EDI and the difference btw all the three.
Also do send some materials for the same.Hi,
ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)
Ale Technology is SAPs technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
Distributed Process:
A distributed process is one in which part of a business process is carried out on one system and part on another. The two systems would exchange data with each other at appropriate points to stay synchronized.
Need for Distributed Process:
Business in Different Geographical Locations.
Non availability of dedicated network.
Cultural and language differences in Geographical locations.
Running of Mission-critical Applications (Like Maintenance downtime etc.).
Separate up gradation of Modules.
Distributed SAP SYSTEM CHALLENGES
A system that understands the syntax and semantics of the data. It was important from the very beginning to base the distribution of data on business rules, not on database replication techniques.
Distributed systems that can maintain their autonomy while being integrated as one logical SAP system. The systems should be able to operate independently and support logical processing of transactions and data.
Distributed systems that can handle different data models. A local implementation should be able to customize the system to meet its local needs.
Receiving systems that can handle their own problems and not tie up the sending system.
Systems that maintain continued operation in spite of network failure. Changes made to either system should be synchronized after the network connection is restored.
A sound technology and methodology that can be used in all distribution scenarios.
SAP Distributed environment:
ALE allows for efficient and reliable communication between distributed processes across physically separate SAP systems.
ALE is based on application to application integration using messaging architecture. A message defines data that is exchanged between two processes. IDocs are containers that hold data exchanged between the two systems.
Benefits of ALE:
Integration with non-SAP systems: ALE architecture allows third party applications to integrate with SAP system.
Reliable Distribution: Once message type created and the receiver of the message is determined, ALE delivers the message to the recipient. If there is any network problem it will buffer the message and delivers the message once the network is restored. It also ensures that the message is not delivered twice.
Release Upgrade: Any of the distributed system can be upgraded to the new release of SAP without affecting the functionality. The ALE layer ensures backward compatibility of messages exchanged between systems.
ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Process flow for Distributing Transactional Data:
Transactional data is distributed using two techniques: with Message control and without message control.
Process flow for Distributing Master Data:
Master data between SAP systems is distributed using two techniques: Stand alone Programs and Change Pointers.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Stand-Alone Programs:
Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another. Standard Programs for several master data objects exist in SAP. Ex. The material master data can be transferred using the RBDSEMAT program or transaction BD10.
The stand-alone programs provide a selection screen to specify the objects to be transferred and the receiving system. After the stand-alone program is executed, it calls the IDoc selection program with the specified parameters.
Triggering the Outbound Process via Change Pointers:
The change pointer technique is used to initiate the outbound process automatically when master data is created or changed.
A standard program, RBDMIDOC, is scheduled to run on a periodic basis to evaluate the change pointers for a message type and start the ALE process for distributing the master data to the appropriate destination. The RBDMIDOC program reads the table TBDME to determine the IDoc selection program for a message type.
Processing in the Application Layer:
The customer distribution model is consulted to make sure that a receiver has been defined for the message to be transmitted. If not, processing ends. If at least one receiver exists, the IDoc selection program reads the master data object from the database and creates a master IDoc from it. The master IDoc is stored in memory. The program then calls the ALE service layer by using the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, passing the master IDoc and the receiver information.
Processing in the ALE Interface Layer:
Processing in the ALE Layer consists of the following steps:
Receiver Determination: The determination of the receiver is done through Customer Distribution Model.
IDoc Filtering: if an IDoc filter is specified in the distribution model for a receiver, values in the filter are compared against the values in the IDoc data records. If a data record does not meet the filter criteria, it is dropped.
Segment Filtering: For each sender and receiver combination, a set of segments that are not required can be filtered out.
Field conversion: Field values in data records are converted by using the conversion rules specified for the segment.
Version change for segments: Segments are version-controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from the preceding version and fields added for the new version. Release in IDoc type field of the partner profile to determine the version of the segment to be generated.
Version change for IDocs: IDocs are also version controlled. The version is determined from the Basic Type field of the partner profile.
Communication IDocs generated: The final IDoc generated for a receiver after all the conversions and filtering operations is the communication IDoc. One master IDoc can have multiple communication IDocs depending on the number of receivers identified and the filter operations performed. IDoc gets the status record with a status code of 01 (IDoc Created).
Syntax check performed: IDoc goes through a syntax check and data integrity validation. If errors found the IDoc get the status of 26 (error during syntax check of IDoc Outbound). If no errors found the IDoc gets the status 30 (IDoc ready for dispatch ALE Service).
IDoc dispatched to the communication Layer: In the ALE process, IDocs are dispatched using the asynchronous RFC method, which means that the sending system does not await for data to be received or processed on the destination system. After IDocs have been transferred to the communication layer, they get a status code 01 (Data Passed to Port OK).
Processing in the Communication Layer:
To dispatch an IDoc to a destination system, the system reads the port definition specified in the partner profile to determine the destination system, which is then used to read the RFC destination. The RFC destination contains communication settings to log o to the remote SAP system. The sending system calls the INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS function module asynchronously on the destination system and passes the IDoc data via the memory buffers.
Inbound Process in IDocs:
An inbound process used IDoc structure, posting programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables to post an application document from an IDoc.
Posting Program:
Posting programs, which are implemented as function modules, read data from an IDoc and create an application document from it. A posting program exists for each message. Each posting program is assigned a process code. A process code can point to a function module or a work flow. In the standard program process codes always point to a function module.
Ex. The posting program for message type MATMAS is IDOC_INPUT_MATMAS which has a process code MATM.
Workflow:
A workflow represents a sequence of customized steps to be carried out for a process. The workflow management system is used to model the sequence, identify information required to carry out the steps and identify the person responsible for the dialog steps.
Partner Profile;
A partner profile specifies the components used in an inbound process (partner number, message type, and process code), the mode in which IDocs are processed (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of errors.
Process flow for the Inbound process via a Function Module:
In this process, IDocs are received from another system and passed to the posting function module directly.
1. Processing in the communication Layer:
The IDOC_INBOUND_ASYCHRONOUS program, triggered as a result of an RFC from the sending system, acts as the entry point for all inbound ALE processes. The IDoc to be processed is passed as an input parameter. Control is transferred to the ALE/EDI layer.
2. Processing in the ALE/EDI Interface Layer:
Basic integrity check: A basic integrity check is performed on the control record.
Segment Filtering and conversion: Filtering out unwanted segments and carry out any required conversion of field values.
Creation of Application IDoc: The application IDoc is created and stored in the database and a syntax check is performed. If there are errors it gets status code of 60 (Error during Syntax check of IDoc Inbound). At this point a tangible IDoc, which can be monitored via one of the monitoring transactions, is created and the IDoc gets status code 50 (IDoc Added).
IDoc Marked ready for Dispatch: IDoc gets the status code 64 (IDoc ready to be passed to application).
IDoc is passed to the posting program: The partner profile table is read. If the value of the Processing field is set to Process Immediately, the IDoc is passed to the posting program immediately using the program RBDAPP01.
3. Processing in the Posting Module:
The process code in the partner profile points to a posting module for the specific message in the IDoc. The posting program implemented as a function module either calls a standard SAP transaction by using the Call Transaction command for posting the document or invokes a direct input function module.
The results of execution are passed back via the function modules output parameters. If the posting is successful IDoc gets the status code 53 (Application Document Posted) or it gets status code 51 (Error: Application Document Not Posted).
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.

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.

Status 64 "No filters , No conversion .." when receipt an Inbound Idoc
Hi expert,
I transfers an idoc from client 200 to client 700. At client 200 the outbound idoc is transfer ok but on client 700 when receipt inbound idoc I have status 64 "No filters , No conversion , No version change ." I have writen a FM to process this inbound I think I have this status because I have not true parameter in Tcode we57 we42 but I don't know what parameter on those Tcode. Please help me please!
Thank for reading!

What is Data filtering and Segment filtering in ALE/IDOCs
Hi sap gurus
what is Data filtering and Segment filtering in ALE/IDOCsHi,
Filtering at the IDoc Level
Identify the filter object (BD59)
Modify the distribution model
Segment Filtering
specify the segments to be filtered (BD56)
The Reduced IDoc Type
Analyze the data.
Reduce the IDoc type (BD53)
Thanks and regards. -
Hi, I am New to EDI-IDocs,We have a requirement over here to send the iDocs from SAP to Non-SAP sys(JCAPS).
Need step-by-step details to convert the iDoc to EDI format.
Helpfull Answers will b Rewarded.
Regards
Giridhar ReddyHi,
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?

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 u201CThe table is cross-client (see Help for further info)u201D. 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 u201CThe table is cross-client (see Help for further info)u201D. Press Enter.
Click New Entries to create new Message Type.

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)

2. Link client to Logical System on the respective servers
3. Create background user, to be used by ALE(with authorizaton for ALE postings)
4. Create RFC Destinations(SM59)
5. Ports in Idoc processing(WE21)
6. Generate partner profiles for sending system
The functional configuration(Tcode: SALE)
u2022 Create a Customer Distribution Model (CDM);
u2022 Add appropriate message types and filters to the CDM;
u2022 Generate outbound partner profiles;
u2022 Distribute the CDM to the receiving systems; and
u2022 Generate inbound partner profiles on each of the clients.
Steps to customize a new IDoc >>>
1. Define IDoc Segment (WE31)
2. Convert Segments into an IDoc type (WE30)
3. Create a Message Type (WE81)
4. Create valid Combination of Message & IDoc type(WE82)
5. Define Processing Code(WE41 for OUT / WE42 for IN)
6. Define Partner Profile(WE20)
Important Transaction Codes:
SALE - IMG ALE Configuration root
WE20 - Manually maintain partner profiles

BD64: Distribute the distribution Model
Programs
RBDMIDOC u2013 Creating IDoc Type from Change Pointers
RSEOUT00 u2013 Process all selected IDocs (EDI)
RBDAPP01 - Inbound Processing of IDocs Ready for Transfer
RSARFCEX - Execute Calls Not Yet Executed
RBDMOIND - Status Conversion with Successful tRFC Execution
RBDMANIN - Start error handling for non-posted IDocs
RBDSTATE - Send Audit Confirmations
FOr testing you can use WE19.
There are two filtering in IDoc.
Segment Filtering:
Segment filtering can be achieved using T/Code BD56. Here you can suppress a whole segment irrespective of data inside it . You have to give Message Type / Sender Prrtner / Receiver Partner.
Data Filtering:
Data filtering can be done in dustribution model (BD64) where you can restrict whole IDOCS or partials IDOCS to be send based on data in fields inside IDOC depending on whether the segment in which you filter is at the highest level or at a lower level. For example in MATMAS if you put a filter of E1MARCM for a particular plant , only data for this plant will go and other plants will be ignored.

Provide ALE and IDOC Faqs and all Transactions
Dear Experts,
I am new to ALE & IDOC.
Please provide ALE & IDOCs FAQs and all Transactions?
Thanks in advance.<b>FAQS</b>
A L E
Q: Our IDOC remains in status 51 ( not posted) while testing ALE setup by passing DEBMAS02 Idocs. The message 'Field KNA1-BRSCH is not an input field'. This is the Industry key. What are we missing?
A: Go to IMG - menu path IMG->LogisticsGeneral-> Logistics Basic Data: Business partners->Customers-> Control->Define Account groups and field selection for customer.
Select sold-to or ship-to. Select General Data. Select control and double click. Industry key is found here. Change the option to 'Optional Entry'.
Check OSS 5599. You may have to update view V_T078D also.
E D I / IDOC
Q:1 We created an EDI Vendor and created all required output conditions. However no IDOC is generated when PO is printed. Why?
A: Go to Header->output for the PO. The output type shall be '6'. The status shall be '1'. If the status is '0' check the timing. If the status is '2' , go to 'GOTO->Processing Log' and the explanation for non-generation of IDOC can be seen.
Q: How can we create / upload IDOC's from legacy system to SAP?
A: Third party tool Mercator may be used to convert Legacy files to Idoc format. Mercator provides an IDOC tree import facility, SAP provides the export facility. You can transfer the Idoc layouts from SAP to Mercator automatically and then map.
Q: We want to receive an outbound EDI 855 IDOC only if E2EDP20 -scheduling confirmation segment is present. Else get an "error" status preventing triggering the EDI subsystem.
A: User exit logic has to be added in function IDOC_INPUT_ORDRSP.
Set up a test flag and set it off when the IDOC header is read.
Turn the flag ON when the EDP20 segment is read.
Interrogate this flag when the next segment after EDP20 in the same IDOC comes in. If it is on ,you have an EDP20 coming in.
Issue an error status 51 with suitable message for whichever condition you don't want the IDOC to be processed, This will stop the IDOC from posting.
Q: Where ever PO is sent to the vendor via EDI, we want an acknowledgement of the PO by vendor. Which fields are updated and what should be my procedure?
A: Execute Program: IDOC_INPUT_ORDRSP
Process code: ORDR
Message type: ORDRSP
IDOC: ORDERS01
The confirmation process allows the supplier to return an acknowledgment. Only Dates and quantities can be changed The information is stored in the PO and can be viewed via Item->Confirmation->Overview. The PO can be flagged as 'confirmation required' so that Pos without acknowledgement receipt can be monitored. Control keys and tolerances (days and quantities) have to be customized.
Outbound:
Step 1. Application document is created when transaction is saved.
2. Message control is invoked.
3. Messages are processed by system.
4. Messages are Edited (if desired).
5. Output (ALE / EDI) is checked
6. Validate against Message control record from Partner Profile
7. Application Document is saved.
8. Entry NAST table is created for every selected output program
along with Medium & Timing.
9. Check for Process Immediately .
If (yes)
Determine Processing Program from TNAPR Table.
ELSE
Execute RSNASTED Program.
10. Read Partner Profile to determine Process Code.
11. Process Code points to the Function Module & Invoked.
12. IDoc is generated.
13. Check for ALE Request.
if (Yes)
Perform Filters, Conversions, Version Changes etc.
Else.
IDoc is stored in DATABASE.
INBOUND:
Step 1. EDI Subsystem creates an IDoc file from EDI Messages
2. Subsystem calls Functional Module EDI_DATA_INCOMING from startRFC program.
3. Data in Control Record is validate against the Partner Profile.
4. IDoc is generated in Database and syntax check is carried out.
5. IDoc file is deleted once file read.
6. Event PROCESSSTATE REACHED is triggered in Idoc Object Workflow.
7. Check for Process Immediately.
If NO
Execute RBDAPP01 Program
Else
Read Process Code from Partner Profile
Process Code Points to Function Module
Application Document Posted.

Hello Experts,
I am beginner in IDOCS,ALE AND EDI concepts, i would appreciate if some one can forward me material on these concepts, also some sample programs or examples on these.
Thanks.
RaghuHi,
ALE Process Steps:
Outbound:
Step 1. Application document is created when transaction is saved.
2. Message control is invoked.
3. Messages are processed by system.
4. Messages are Edited (if desired).
5. Output (ALE / EDI) is checked
6. Validate against Message control record from Partner Profile
7. Application Document is saved.
8. Entry NAST table is created for every selected output program
along with Medium & Timing.
9. Check for Process Immediately .
If (yes)
Determine Processing Program from TNAPR Table.
ELSE
Execute RSNASTED Program.
10. Read Partner Profile to determine Process Code.
11. Process Code points to the Function Module & Invoked.
12. IDoc is generated.
13. Check for ALE Request.
if (Yes)
Perform Filters, Conversions, Version Changes etc.
Else.
IDoc is stored in DATABASE.
INBOUND:
Step 1. EDI Subsystem creates an IDoc file from EDI Messages
2. Subsystem calls Functional Module EDI_DATA_INCOMING from startRFC program.
3. Data in Control Record is validate against the Partner Profile.
4. IDoc is generated in Database and syntax check is carried out.
5. IDoc file is deleted once file read.
6. Event PROCESSSTATE REACHED is triggered in Idoc Object Workflow.
7. Check for Process Immediately.
If NO
Execute RBDAPP01 Program

Idoc Configuration and interfaces related to 810
Hi,
Can any one tell me the entire configuration of ALE and EDI810 supported tools?
Thanks
Shobi<b>Hi,
ALE
To develop a new custom ALE scenario, comprises 5 steps:
1. Design and develop the custom IDoc with its segments and a new message type
2. Configure the ALE environment with the new IDoc and message type (customer model, partner profiles and linking IDoc to message type)
3. Develop the outbound process which does the following:
Populates the custom IDoc with control info and functional data
Sends the IDoc to the ALE layer for distribution
Updates status and handles errors
4. Configure the ALE inbound side (partner profiles with inbound process code)
5. Develop the inbound process which does the following:
Reads the IDoc into a BDC table; selects other data that is required
Runs transaction using call transaction or BDC session
Updates status and handles errors
Below is a pictorial representation of the flow of a complete ALE scenario from the sending system to the receiving system.
Figure 1: ALE Scenario model
1.1. ALE Example
For the purposes of this example we will develop a small ALE scenario. This scenario is described below.
The receiver of an internal service must be able to reverse (cancel) the invoice receipt which will then cancel the applicable billing document automatically on the service providers system.
Figure 2: Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
Development access; and
ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
Segment fields
LIFNR Vendor account number
XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
Enter a description for your segment type and create
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
Check the box on the line of your new segment
Save, back and enter
Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
Save and back
To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to add a new type
Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
Click on New entries
Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
Create the output partner profile.
Distribute the customer model
Specify the name of the customer model.
You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
The customer model must be maintained.
RFC destinations must be maintained.
The customer model must be distributed.
To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.

Figure 5: Inbound processing example code
3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
Type in message type as ZINVRV
Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
Click on New entries
Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
Choose Inbound with ALE service
Choose Processing with function module
Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
Click on New Entries
Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
Enter your process code ZINR
Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.</b>

Need RICEF Security specfifications for Interfaces and Conversions
Hi All,
I need RICEF security specfications for Interfaces and Conversions. Can anyone provide any input on this.
Regards
PlabanHi Plaban,
Thanks for the detailed explanation. As mentioned, as per my knowledge there is no specific guideline/template that you may adapt while designing the security design for the Interfaces and Conversions.
However, the most common issues that occurs with IDOCs is with file interfaces are related to file permissions, file ownership and character conversions moving between platforms.
Ensure that the appropriate authorization (read/write and with filters) authorization is provided. Identify the various levels of authorizations required and implement the same.
Further, most issues with ALE interfaces are with RFC user ID permissions. Ensure that the appropriate and only the Required authorization is provided to these IDs. This way you can tighten the authorization to the specific level. You may need to completely test the functionality before implementing this.
It is always important to understand these limitations during the functional design. If any specific additional functionality is required, you may need to have a custom based solution.
Hope this answers your question!!
Warm Regards,

GLMAST01: Receiver exists , No filters , No conversion , No version change
Hello All,
I have explored forum for related messages and couldn't find the reason for IDOCs getting stuck in ECC with error as "GLMAST Receiver exists , No filters , No conversion , No version change" Status 30.
We executed program RBDSEGLM and 1900 IDOcs were selected, 1100 went successfully to SAP PI system with status code as 03 but 800 got stck. When I run these IDOCs using BD87, WE19 or report RSEOUT00, they are sent successfully.
Experts, please share views on reason behind IDOcs being stuck in ALE layer with status as 30 and the possible break-fix solution to avoid these.
Thanks!
Best Regards
PrashantHi Prashant,
Idoc Status 30 means--IDoc ready for dispatch
Also check in your partner profile under the outbound parameter for your message if the output mode is set as Transfer Idoc Immediately or Collect Idoc. your problem is certainly due to the fact that "collect idoc" option is set.
All the idocs will get collected and sent once the report (RSEOUT00) is scheduled or manually triggered by transaction BD87.
Change the option to "Transfer Idoc Immediately" or schedule the output program are your two solutions.
Best regards,
Laurent.

What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type
Hi gurus,
What's the difference between segment filtering and reduced message type? It seems they have the same functionality: Reduce the segment while idoc is generated.
Thanks in advance.Hi,
BD53 is for IDoc Reduction.
this allows you to create a reduced message based upon a standard message type.If you want see mandatory fields. go to T-coe BD53 and give one standard messege type name and eg: matmas
there mandatory fields will be in Green color..
And BD56- This transaction is used to filter out segments of IDocs for combination of sender and receiver. This is usefull in scenarios where a standard IDoc with many segments is used but the receiving partner is only interested in some of the segments
the table related to this transation is TBD20
please go through below blog you have an idea abt that,
