Question

Hi all
In have a question dealing with ALE.
I am trying to send a BOM Change and create IDoc to a XI system.
My question is :

Or to test my scenario do I HAVE to create a CDM, using BD64.
Please advise.
specific answers will be appriciated.

Hi,
It is required to create a model view..otherwise who is distributing the message to whom can't be rocognised..Hence it is required..
check the sample code ..
*& Report ZZ_Program_To_Create_Idoc
report zz_program_to_create_idoc .
tables: ekko,ekpo.
selection-screen skip 3.
selection-screen begin of block b1 with frame title titl.
