Issue:Extending Matmas01 idoc segment

Hi all,
I have a requirement to extend Matmas01.For this am clicking on create radio button option. When i extend it as zmatmas01 and while trying to save it, am getting a message- "The basic type or extension does not contain any segments and cannot be saved".Please guide.
Thank you.

  • Issue of grouping IDOC segments in huge loads

    Hi All,
    My Scenario is File to IDoc. No problem in posting IDoc in R3. But when i see the Idoc structure in R3, all the data records are grouped in different segements as seen below:-
    This is how i see in we05.
    IDoc No (00000000001234)
    - Control Rec.
    - Segments 000001 to 001000
    - S01 Segment 000001 (Actual records)
    - S02 Segment 000002
    - S03 Segment 000003
    - Segments 001001 to 001001
    - S04 Segment 000004
    - S05 Segment 000005
    - S06 Segment 000006
    - Status Rec.
    I dont want the grouping of Idoc segments to take place. It should be under same data segment.
    Please provide me your valuable solutions to resolve the same.
    Note: This problem occurs only when processing huge records.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Sriram,
    It is the standard program flow of  transaction WE02 which checks the number of segments.if the count is more than 1000,it creates a another group and displays it for the sake of readability.
    Anyway it does not affect the inbound processing of the IDOC.
    Thank you.

  • IDoc segment version issue in ECC upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0

    Hi experts,
    we are in the process of upgrading our ECC environment from 5.0 to 6.0. We have quite a few interfaces which use ORDERS/Invoice Idocs in customised form. In ECC5.0 environment, we had developed a Z segment in the ORDERS Idoc and the segment release was set as 640. Everything worked fine in ECC5.0.
    In upgraded environment, SAP has released new version of some segments. one of those is E1EDP01. This segment has 2 new versions in ECC6.0 environment - 007 and 008. This change in the version changes the data in the IDoc and hence interface goes in error at the EDI provider.
    We have tried to use 640 as the IDoc segment release in the partner profile of the IDocs. This still gives us an issue because the 007 version of the segment E1EDP01 has release 620 and hence the Idoc picks up 007 version instead of 006 version as desired. When we change the partner profile with Segment release in the IDoc type as 46C, it gives us an issue in the Z segment saying that the IDoc segment is not released in 46C and the Idoc goes in error.
    has any one faces such situation in the past? if yes, please throw some light.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please let me know if your issue was resolved. I have similar issue now.
    Thanks,

  • Extend character length of an idoc segment

    Hello Gurus,
    Our client requires a longer character length for NAME2 and STRAS. SAP standard is that character length for this is 35. Is there a way to extend the length of these idoc segments? Thanks in advance.

    About which IDOC are you talking?
    And why do you need more characters?
    If you are talking about CREMAS vendor or DEBMAS customer,
    then you should consider the ADRMAS Idoc as well.
    Because addresses are stored in central address managment tables sind 4.6 release.
    CREMAS and DEBMAS do not support central address management.
    Please read OSS note 306275 and 384462 for migration of addresses

  • IDoc segment issue

    Hi,
    I have file to Idoc scenario, where my input file structure like below and need to create Idoc segments in SAP.
    Input Structure:
    Record (1--Unbounded)
    Header (1-1)
    Item_Details (1- Unbounded)
    Child_ItemsInfo (1 -Unbounded)
    Item_1 (1--1)
    abc
    def
    Item_2 (1--1)
    abc
    def
    Item_3 (1--1)
    abc
    def
    Now..I need to generate an Idoc segment "Z1ABCD", as many as child Item segments(Item_1,Item_2,Item_3) occurs in my input structure. I have used duplicate subtree on Idoc segment "Z1ABCD" and copied 2 more times.Now I have 3 "Z1ABCD" segments in my IDoc.
    Lets say, if my input structure have 2 Child_ItemsInfo, then I need to generate 6 "Z1ABCD" segments in Idoc. I'm able generate these segments.
    My code generating all the Item_1 segments then Item_2 segments like that...But I'm expecting a "Z1ABCD" segment at Item_details node level...like Item1,2,3 and then Item1,2,3....Please help me out!
    Note: My mapping looks like this;
    Item_1 ->remove context>Split by value(each) ->CollapseContext->Z1ABCD
    Item_2 ->remove context>Split by value(each) ->CollapseContext->Z1ABCD
    Item_3 ->remove context>Split by value(each) ->CollapseContext->Z1ABCD
    the target structure which I'm lookin for like below...(for 2 Child_ItemsInfo from my input structure)
    1.Z1ABCD (Item_1 info)
    2.Z1ABCD (Item_2 info)
    3.Z1ABCD (Item_3 info)
    4.Z1ABCD (Item_1 info)
    5.Z1ABCD (Item_2 info)
    6.Z1ABCD (Item_3 info)
    But my code generating the segments like below;
    1.Z1ABCD (Item_1 info)
    2.Z1ABCD (Item_1 info)
    3.Z1ABCD (Item_2 info)
    4.Z1ABCD (Item_2 info)

    I am bit confused .
    Why are you using this ...
    remove context-->Split by value(each) --->CollapseContext
    Do Direct assignment like below
    even the context should not change . it shoule be default .,
    Item_1 - > Z1ABCD
    Item_2 - > Z1ABCD
    Item_3 - > Z1ABCD
    isnt it working fine ??????
    actually it should ..
    In your case .
    IZ1ABCD for Item_1 coming together because . you Used removeContext So Both  Item_1 comest together .. and then you doing transformation .. so the result are coming together...
    Try Like Direct assignment . I hoping it should work fine

  • Issue with LSMW IDOC method

    Hello there,
             I am facing an issue while creating a LSMW using IDOC method. I am creating it for PROFIT CENTER upload. My file is having the data as, there can be multiple company codes for one profit center, so my file will have more than one record for single profit center. I have to create only one IDOC per profit center, so I have to create multiple segments in that IDOC for different company codes.
             I am not sure how to create multiple segments using LSMW. It will be very helpful, if anyone can tell me how to do it.
    Thanks,
    Ganesh Khumse

    Hello Ganesh,
    I assume that you are using the IDoc Type PRCMAS02 for the creation of Profit Centers along with Company Code assignment.
    In order to be able to extend the Profit Center for Multiple Company Codes, please segregate the source structures into Profit center general data and company code data...along with respective source fields.
    In the structure relations, assign the Profit Center General data to the Idoc segments E1KEPCM & E1KEPCT. Then assign the Company Code data to the segment E1KEPCB.
    The input file layout expected will be something similar to the below layout...
    PCHEAD1
    - CCODE1
    - CCODE2
    PCHEAD2
    - CCODE1
    - CCODE2
    Hope this info resolves your problem.
    Pls reward if this answers your query.

  • Extend generated Idocs

    Hi,
    I extended the MARA table with a new field. Now I want to export the article data including the new field via the IDOC-Type ARTMAS05. So I need to extend the IDOC-Type but thats not possible via WE30 because ARTMAS05 is a generated IDOC-Type (see SAP Note 91390). I couldn't find any clear documentation about how to extend generated IDOCs and add new fields.
    So my questions are:
    How can I extend the IDOC ARTMAS05?
    How can I add new segments to the IDOC for my new field in the MARA table?
    Hope somebody can help!

  • Replaced value is not getting relected in IDOC segment field

    Hi,
    Need your help for the below issue.
    I am replacing the PO # with Delivery Doc # . But the replaced value is not getting reflected in the IDOC segment field(e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.).
    Function Module  which I am using is IDOC_INPUT_MBGMCR as a copy.
    Here is my code given below:
    SELECT
                SINGLE vbeln
                  INTO lx_vbeln
                  FROM lips
                 WHERE vgbel EQ e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
    Move lx_vbeln TO e1bp2017_gm_item_create-po_number.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING e1bp2017_gm_item_create
                   TO goodsmvt_item.
    Then this is passed as  TABLE in "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE".
    Please do the needful.

    Hi Dheepa,
    Check it in debug whether the filed is empty or having po#, when ur code is executed for the replacement. if it is empty, po# is populated after ur code. in this case you need to write the code in suitable place.

  • IDOC-Segment Created a idoc document against Billing document

    Dear All,
    Thanks in  advance.
    Already created a idoc document against Billing document and one of the IDOC segment is not in the IDOC document output segments(WE05) actually it missed the segment.
    so i want to add the segment which it was missed during generation of IDOC document against billing document.
    Example:
    a) IDOC document misses one segment let suppose "Seg1".
    b) In "Seg1" it have only one field let suppose "Field1".
    c) But "Field1" does not have any value while generation of IDOC document so it doesn't create the respective segment in IDOC document.
    d) so here, i want to edit the IDOC document to add the "Seg1" in the IDOC document and reprocessing the IDOC document.
    Please help on this issue.
    Regards,
    Sridhar.

    Hello,
              If your requirement is to have the Segment even with only 1 Field, you'll have to create an Idoc Extension in WE30.
             In order to populate the Custom Segment, Use the Customer Function '002' in the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC which is EXIT_SAPLVEDF_002 where you can actually insert the Segment as a Child Segment of an Appropriate Segment.
            You can go for Custom segment with the IDoc Extension so that you dont have to manually insert the Segment again and again while reprocessing it.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Adding field in standard IDOC Segment E1EDL24

    Hello Friends,
    I have an urgent requirement that I have to extend IDOC segment E1EDL24 with two fields PABNR and LFSNR.
    When I tries to change the segment in WE31, it shows an error message that you can only modify the segments of customer namespace and cannot modify Standard IDOC Segments.
    Can we modify the standard IDOC segments, and if yes, how can we modify the standard IDOC segments. Please clarify.
    Points will be rewarded generously.
    Regards,
    Navin

    Hi Naveen,
    We cannot Modify the Standard segments. But we have to Create a new Segment and Add these fields.
    Then Create an Extended Idoc type
    Implement User Exits in Outbound And Inbound ..
    This is the Complete Steps and Info on this...with an Example...
    Enhancing ALE
    For example, if in an outbound interface you find that the IDOC type does not contain all the data you need to pass to the other system, you can extend the IDOC to accommodate the additional fields and enhance the ALE function modules to populate the fields. Similarly, if in an inbound interface, there is additional data that needs to be posted to the R/3 application, you can extend the IDOC type to have additional fields populated by the external system or translator or the other R/3 system and then enhance the inbound ALE function modules to post the additional data to the R/3 application.
    let us use the SAP Customer Master application as an example. Specifically, letâs focus on the IDOC extension and ALE function module enhancement of IDOC type DEBMAS02 and message type DEBMAS (Customer Master) and the IDOC reduction of message type MATMAS.
    IDOC EXTENSIONS
    Letâs first look at the concept of IDOC extension. SAP delivers Basic IDOC types such as DEBMAS02, MATMAS02, ORDERS02, and WMMBID01. By extending the Basic IDOC type, you are actually creating a new IDOC type. You create a new segment with the additional fields. This new segment has to be associated with one of the existing Basic IDOC segments. Then you create a new extension type, which is associated with the Basic IDOC type. This results in a new IDOC type. In order for ALE function modules to relate to this new IDOC type, the IDOC type is linked to the corresponding message type.
    Note that you should not add fields to existing segments but should create a new segment and associate it with an existing segment. This, in a nutshell, is the process of creating IDOC extensions.
    In our example, the Basic IDOC type DEBMAS02 is used to communicate Customer Master data to the SAP Customer Master application. Even though the application has a screen to enter and store a contact personâs business address (see Figure 1), DEBMAS02 does not have a segment or fields that communicate the contact personâs business address. If your business requires that this business address be communicated to the other system through the ALE interface for Customer Master, then you have to extend the DEBMAS02 IDOC type, and enhance the corresponding ALE function module.
    In DEBMAS02 the contact person fields are present in segment E1KNVKM and the business address of the contact person is stored on the SADR SAP table. You need to create a new segment, Z1SADRX, that is associated with E1KNVKM. This will be done in the process of creating an extension type ZDEBMASX. This extension type will then be associated with a new IDOC type, ZDEBMASZ. IDOC type ZDEBMASZ will be linked to message type DEBMAS for Customer Master. The final step in the IDOC extension process is to check the new objects. This check also verifies the structural integrity of the IDOC type. Letâs look at each of these steps in more detail.
    1. Create an Extension Type and a New Segment.
    Determine the fields on table SADR that you are going to provide for in the new segment Z1SADRX. You need fields for name, street, city, region, and country to give the business address of the contact person. You also need fields for the address number. ADRNR is a field in SAP tables such as SADR that uniquely identifies the address of an entity. This field is cross-referenced from other tables to the SADR table to obtain the full description of the address. Because this is an IDOC type for master data, the first field of the new segment will be MSGFN. The message function field informs the receiving system of the action to be taken for that particular segment. In the code that you write for populating the new segment, the value of the message function is the same as that of the parent segment E1KNVKM. In all, you will have 12 fields in segment Z1SADRX (see Table 1).
    To create an extension type and new segment:
    • Use transaction WE30 or from WEDI go to Development -> IDOC types.
    • Enter ZDEBMASX for Object Name.
    • Choose Extension Type.
    • Click on Create.
    • You will see a pop-up screen. Choose Create New, and enter a description. For version 4.x, enter DEBMAS02 in the Linked Basic Type field. Enter.
    • You will see a screen with ZDEBMASX and its description in the first line. Click on this line, and press Create. For version 4.x, expand the tree of segments, and place the cursor on E1KNVKM.
    • You will see a pop-up screen. Enter E1KNVKM as the reference segment. Enter.
    • For 4.x, press Create after placing the cursor on segment E1KNVKM.
    • You will see a line appear with E1KNVKM hierarchically below ZDEBMASX, with a description "Customer Master contact person (KNVK)."
    • Click on this line and press Create. You will receive a message indicating that the new segment being created will be a child segment of E1KNVKM. Enter. A pop-up box appears for the new segment.
    • Enter Z1SADRX as the segment type, 1 for Minimum, 1 for Maximum. Leave Mandatory segment unchecked. These entries imply that there is only one Z1SADRX segment for every occurrence of the E1KNVKM segment, and also that this segment is not mandatory. Note that if the parent segment is not mandatory, then the child segment should not be mandatory, because this could result in a syntax error during the creation or processing of the IDOC.
    • For 4.x, you must first create the IDOC segment Z1SADRX (Iâll explain why in a moment) from the menu path WEDI -> IDOC -> Development -> IDOC Segment.
    • Click on Segment Editor.
    • On the next screen, click on Create.
    • Enter a development class for the object. Enter.
    • This will take you to the screen for segment definition. Enter a description for the segment. Enter the field name, data element, and the data element documentation name. In most cases, all three fields may have the same values. If you are using a field in the segment that is not present in the ABAP/4 data dictionary, you must first create the domain, data element, field, and appropriate documentation before using it in the new segment.
    • Enter these three columns for all 12 fields. Save.
    • Click on Generate/Activate, F3 to step back.
    • From screen Maintain Segment, go to Segment Type -> Release. A checkbox now appears beside the segment definition Z1SADRX (see Figure 2). Check this box. Save.
    • Save again to store the descriptions of the segment, F3 to step back.
    • Save the extension type.
    It is possible to have several new segments with relevant Basic IDOC type parent segments in a single extension type. However, you can form only one IDOC type based on a single extension type.
    2. Create an IDOC Type.
    The next step is to create an IDOC type by associating the extension type that you created with the Basic IDOC type. This is a simple process:
    • From transaction WE30 or WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Types.
    • Enter ZDEBMASZ for Object Name.
    • Click on IDOC Type.
    • Click on Create.
    • Enter DEBMAS02 for Basic IDOC type.
    • Enter ZDEBMASX for extension type.
    • Enter a description.
    • Enter.
    • You will see a display of the composite IDOC type with all segments, including Z1SADRX (see Figure 3).
    It is possible to associate only one extension type with a Basic IDOC type for a given IDOC type. However, you can have multiple new segments in an extension type.
    3. Link IDOC Type to Message Type.
    The next step is to link the new IDOC type to its corresponding message type. This is important, because this relationship is referenced in the partner profile parameters where you specify the message type and IDOC type to be used for that particular representative system. To link the message type:
    • Use transaction WE82, or from WE30, go to Environment -> IDOC Type / Message Type, or from WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Type -> Environment Î IDOC Type / Message Type.
    • Click on Display <-> Change.
    • Click on New Entries.
    • Enter DEBMAS for message type.
    • Enter DEBMAS02 for Basic IDOC type.
    • Enter ZDEBMASX for extension type.
    • Enter your SAP R/3 release number for Release.
    • Save.
    This data is stored on the EDIMSG table and is accessed by several ALE processes to relate the message type to the IDOC type.
    4. Check the IDOC Type.
    Before checking the IDOC type for consistency, it is important to perform another step that releases the extension type to the IDOC type:
    • From WEDI go to Development -> IDOC Types -> Extras -> Release Type, or from transaction WE30 go to Extras -> Release Type.
    • For the Object Name ZDEBMASX and radio button Extension Type, click Yes.
    • The extension type has now been "released."
    You canât edit the extension type once itâs released. To cancel the release for further editing or deactivation, go to WE30 Î Extras Î Cancel release. The final step in the IDOC extension process is checking the validity of the IDOC type:
    • From transaction WE30 or WEDI go to Development -> IDOC types.
    • Enter ZDEBMASX for Object name.
    • Click on Extension Type.
    • From the Development Object menu select Check.
    • Repeat the operation for IDOC type ZDEBMASZ.
    • A check log will be generated for each run with details of correctness or errors (see Figure 4).
    In some situations it is possible to receive errors during the check process, especially segment length errors. The incorrect IDOC segment can be repaired and corrected by executing program RSEREPSG. This program checks the formal consistency and repairs incorrect segments. In test mode it will generate a log of formal correctness for the specified segment only. For the program to repair segments in normal mode, the underlying IDOC structures (DDIC structures) must be active. This program rectifies the lengths of the DDIC structures and not the fields themselves. RSEREPSG can also be used to change the person responsible for the object and the release flag.
    Menu paths may vary slightly depending on the release/version of SAP R/3, but the procedures and the principles are the same.
    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.
    • Save.
    • 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.
    Error handling is a very important consideration when making enhancements to inbound ALE/EDI objects. In ALE and EDI inbound processing, workflow is used for handling errors at different levels such as technical and application. If workflow has been configured for the interface, the error messages and workflow items flow to the inbox of the named recipient(s).
    It is also critical to enhance the workflow that handles notifications of the inbound ALE/EDI process. In most scenarios this is not a very difficult task because SAP lets you influence the workflow parameters and messages in function exits (customer functions). You typically do this using flags and message codes to trigger certain workflow actions. If you conform to the status codes and flags stipulated for workflow processing, the enhancement could be error-free and seamless. In the case of an inbound IDOC with an extension, you should populate the EDIDC fields IDOCTYP (new IDOC type) and CIMTYP (extension type) accordingly.

  • How to populate IDOC segments...

    Hello Experts,
    I was just tasked to add new fields in an IDOC segment. My question is, how do I populate
    those newly created fields? The data will be coming from a purchase order.
    Thank you guys and take care!

    Hi,
    U cannot edit the existing segment u have to create a zsegment with the fields and then under the main segment u have to add this new segment..also u have create a extended idoc in ur case...then only u can add this new segment..also once u  create  a segment u have to release it...
    u have to write the code in the userexit only...
    check the sample code which i have done for my requirement for sales order..

  • Idoc segment limit

    Good morning:
    I have read that the idocs segment maximum length is 1000 characters, but i need to generate an idoc with more length at least 1600 characters, i would like to use idocs for having all the standard status process for control it, does anybody know any alternative or procedure?
    Points will be rewarded for value answers of course
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

    Hi,
    If you are creating your own idoc then its better to create the segments each of length 1000 characters.
    If you want to use the standard one thne you have to extend the idoc by adding child segments to the existing segments.
    Its not the space b/n segments,
    It means each segment can contain fileds each of lenght 1000.
    There is no space concept b/n segments.

  • IDOC Segment mapping change

    Hi,
    How can i change the field attached to a IDOC segment.
    Actually we have this Invoice IDOC,in which the E1EDK03 012(Qualifier) is passing the IDOC creation date instead of Billing date.
    So i need to change this mapping to Billing date.
    Please help.

    Hi Salz,
    I just checked my version of SAP (4.7) and you should get an invoice date.  Check out the subroutine FILL_E1EDK03 in function module IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC.  The first section of this code creates an E1EDK03 segment with the invoice date (if there is an invoice date), with qualifyer 026.
    Is there a possibility that in fact you are getting an E1EDK03 segment with the invoice date, but you are also getting other E1EDK03 segments (such as the one you mention with qualifyer 012) and they are obscuring the one you are looking for?
    If there are definitely none being created then can I suggest that you debug the subroutine FILL_E1EDK03 in function module IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC to check what is happening.  You may need to change the timing of your output record to 1 and run the program RSNAST00 online to get the breakpoint to be hit correctly. 
    If, in your version, the code doesn't include this date, then you have an exit function module EXIT_SAPLVEDF_002 (called via the subroutine CUSTOMER_FUNCTION in function module IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC) where you can actually add your own segment data.  For example you an change the contents of an existing segment (as per your original request), or append your own E1EDK03 segment with your own data.  I would recommend adding your own segment rather than changing whats there.
    It is possible to extend idocs to add your own custom segments (eg Z1EDK03), but I wouldn't recommend it in your case, because in later versions of SAP the date is provided and by not creating a new segment (Z1EDK03) you will have no mapping changes to do when you upgrade.  You can just delete your userexit code.
    Hope that all makes sense and helps you with your problem.
    Cheers,
    Brad

  • Idoc segment release

    Hi,
    I wish to change one of the field's length in an idoc segment. It doesn't allow me to change it as the version is already released.
    However, I cannot  cancel the release too, as the released version belongs to an earlier version of SAP (4.7).
    The current/existing version of the segment is of release 620.  The current release is 710, so no change seems to be possible.
    I can't create another version too, as it doesn't allow change of the earlier field definitions.
    Could someone pls help.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    We have similar issue. In the ORDERS05 IDOC, we had made changes to the segment E1EDP19 to repeat 99 times. Then IDOC extension ZORDERS05 was created. Due to new enhancement pack, the attributes of E1EDP19 were changed to repeat 5 times as per standard SAP.
    This did not work for us because segment E1EDP19 should repeat 99 times. So we ran program to update the attributes of this segment. Now E1EDP19 can repeat 99 times.
    But when we are processing ZORDERS05, the chagnes are not reflected. The reason could be, even though E1EDP19 was changed, it will not reflect in IDOC extension. For this to reflect, we are trying to cancel release ZORDERS05 once and release again.
    I am not able to do this activity. Any pointers to this will be helpful. My requirement is to just cancel release once and release it again. Also while doing so, SAP message pointed me to 844899.
    Regards,
    Shahu
