IDOC to EDI file in PI 7.0. ( exchange infrastructure)

Question

i have to do one application
SAP ECC 6.0 -> SAP XI -> Non SAP File Server
Non SAP file server accepts only .edi format files.
m trying IDOC to File scenario. IDOC generated is not giving exact EDI format which needs to send. How to transfer EDI format file from this scenario.
if its done by file content conversion, pls describe more.
eg . file output(.edi file) should be in below form
EDI_DC40 100000000000027837646C 3012 O
E2EDK01005 100000000000027837600000100000001 XSEK 5.23120

Answer 1

Hi,
There are two ways:
1. You can find out if an EDI provider (3rd party) which supports XML EDI Messages  so you can just send XML EDI messages You can use Seeburger Adapter to conver into EDI Format.
In general , If sender side is File the that file must be generated by EDI mappers tool like BIC.
If file is in receiver side you have to use some Adapter to conver into EDI format.
-you can use FILE/FTP Adapter with Seeburger modules.
-you can use Seeburger OFTP Adapter.
See the following documents to help you ..

2. You can use EDI 834 Enrollment messages with XI you don't need an adapter - you can use adapter module:
a) you can develop the adapter module for file adapter yourself
for one message it will ont be that difficult
b) you can use SAP conversion agent to create the EDI adapter module
(it has many EDI messages included)
