Need Confirmation in IDOC creation

I activated the standard message type MATMAS and setup the receiving system etc. After creating material and chaning the existing one, I go to BD10 and run the program. I am getting message as
1 master idoc created... and after some time I get
1 communication idoc created....
I want to make sure these 2 messages are right and both the idocs will be created every time. Is there any option as to create only communication or master one?

Hi,
yes both master and communication idoc is created but you will only see communication idoc in the system...
let me know what is your issue.

Nagaraj

    I need to create a Vendor Master using LSMW via IDOC Process..What are all the points needs to consider..
    Thanks
    Prabhu

    In LSMW object attributes... give like this..
    Message Type         CREMAS                      Vendor master data distri
    Basic Type           CREMAS04                    Vendor master data distri

    after that continue normal LSMW procedure.

  • Goods Confirmation - Idoc creation process???

    Hi,
    I see that during the goods confirmation process the idocs are created. well i'm aware of the ale configs but my question here is how there idocs are created and which is the process that initiates this...bascially i wish to extend the GR idoc in SRM with added segments but need to know where i got to write the code for the extended segments. this process of idoc created is seen during the call of the work flow WS10400010 but looking into this workflow i cannot see any steps that handle the idoc creation....
    nb: my confirmation process happens without an approval step in between.
    any thoughts on how to check the process that creates this idoc for confirmation?

    Duplicate Question from SRM General Forum. It is answered, pls. close the thread. Thanks.

  • IDOCs creation - Transfer Orders(TOs)  for Deliveries - Basic doubts, thanq

    Hi Experts,
    Am new to IDOCs.  I hv a requirement, so, request u that, Can I get some Wht to do tips from u?
    My doubts:
    1- I hv been asked to create IDOC, Wht does it mean?
    2 - How the created IDOC will be get posted?
    My requirement is:
    Original inbound idoc sent from Gentran will update the delivery with all serial numbers per material for all serialized product.  The message code will be the indicator that a Transfer Order-TO, idoc must be created for TO confirmation.
    I need to do===>   Should be executed only when the message code on the delivery idoc is u201CTOCu201D.  Look up the warehouse code on the delivery header using the delivery nbr in the delivery idoc.  Create a new TO confirm idoc per delivery idoc being processed.  Create a line item on this idoc for every line on the delivery idoc.  Each TO line includes the delivery number and delivery item number so the TO number and line number can be looked up in table LTAP by using the delivery number and line item number found on the delivery idoc.  There will be at 2 transfer orders for each delivery item b/c of the 2 step pick process, so select the TO nbr that has 916 as the destination storage type (LTAP-NLTYP).  There may be more than 1 pair of TOs per delivery item so this must be completed for each TO found relevant to each delivery item.
    The inbound delvry03 idoc will update the delivery with the serial numbers as part of the standard functionality.  Since the transfer order must also be confirmed with the quantities on the inbound idoc, an additional idoc must be created from within the delivery update process.  The transfer order can be updated and confirmed using the standard idoc and function module which should be created and initiated from the delivery update function module customer exit.
    Source = DELVRY03     Destination = WMTCID01
    Record Name-Field Name-Record Name-Field Name-Description---Comments
    E1EDL20     VBELN-E1LTCOH-LGNUM-Warehouse Number-Look w/ idoc delivery nbr
    E1EDL20     VBELN-E1LTCOH-TANUM-Transfer Order Number- Look w/ idoc delivery nbr
    E1EDL24     POSNR-E1LTCOI-TAPOS-Transfer Order Line Item- Look  w/ idoc delivery line nbr
    EVERY THING IS DATA TRIGGERED!!!

    IDOC Programming
    There are two processes in IDOC processing one is INBOUND PROCESS( IDOC coming to the system and its handling at various stages) and the other is OUTBOUND PROCESS( IDOC is send to other system . Separate ABAP programs are written for these 2 processes and different configuration settings are required for each one .Depending upon the trigeering mechanism different programming approaches are used.OUTBOUND PROGRAMS handle the IDOC creation and INBOUND PROGRAMS handle the inbound IDOC and the data trasfer from the IDOC to the database tables.
    NEED FOR ABAP PROGRAMMING arises if
    1)New IDOC was created
    Depending upon the triggering mechanism i.e change pointer,message control
    etc the programming technique changes and the type of process.
    2)Existing IDOC was extended
    User Exits are used to populate data in new segments added and to read them
    back.
    3)To enhance an exsiting process.
    User Exits are used .
    Basic structure of an OUTBOUND PROGRAM
    The basic structure of all outbound programs is same. The CONTROL
    record which is of TYPE EDIDC has to be filled. It contains important fields like
    IDOCTP IDOC type
    MESTYP Message Type
    RCVPRN Recieving Partner (Destination)
    RCVPRT Partner Type (it is LS i.e Logical System)
    The DATA RECORD internal table which is of TYPE EDIDD has to be filled
    in the same order as there are segments in the IDOC definition.
    It has 2 important fields which are to be filled ,these are
    SEGNAM Name of the segment
    SEGDATA Data in the segment and can be upto 1000 bytes.This field
    is corresponds to each data segment in the IDOC.
    e.g.
    DATA INT_EDIDD LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA W_SEGDATA LIKE zsegment "custom segment zsegment
    INT_EDIDD-SEGNAM = 'ZSEGMENT'
    W_SEGDATA-field1 = value "taken from some table
    W_SEGDATA-field2 = value "taken from some table
    INT_EDIDD-SEGDATA = W_SEGDATA
    APPEND INT_EDIDD
    This will fill the data record corresponding to the segment ZSEGMENT . For all
    segments the sam steps will be repeated until all the data corresponding to all the
    segments in the idoc is filled in the internal table of type EDIDD.
    There is only one control record and can be multile data records in the idoc
    structure.
    Which data is to be extracted from the tables to be filled in EDIDD type internal table is determined in standalone programs from the objects which are specified in the selection screen and from the object key passed to the function module in case of message control and is taken from BDCP table in case of change pointers using function modules "CHANGE_POINTERS_READ"
    In case of stand alone programs and function modules based on change pointers method the function module "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE" is used to send the IDOC to ALE layer for distribution ,in case of message control it is handled automatically by the RSNASTED program invoked by the message control.
    OUTBOUND PROCESS AND OUTBOUND PROGRAM.
    Outbound programs are used in outbound process to genearte IDOCs . There
    purpose is to extract the data from the tables and to fill the IDOC data records
    and the control record in the IDOC and pass ito the ALE layer for distribution to the recieving system .
    Depending upon the triggering mechanism (how and when the outbound program will be started different techniques and interface is used for outbound program.
    1)Message control
    Application like PO(purchase order) creation use this technique , where the output type is linked to the application(Message control is a configurable cross application component which can be set in IMG .Such programs are created in the form of function modules and linked to the output type which is linked to the apllication.These have predefined interfaces.
    In outbound programs(function module) that use message control the key of the
    application document is passed to the function module whcig will read the data from the table depending upon the key passed(NAST structure) and fill the IDOC segemnts with the application data.The control record is also passed to the function module but is not fully filled, the rmaining fields are filled and the control is passed back to the calling program which is RSNASTED and is invoked by the
    message control to process ALE and EDI output types and this program on recieving the IDOC data will create the physical IDOC in the system.
    The parameteers passed to the function module are
    IMPORTING PARAMETERS
    OBJECT LIKE NAST
    It contains documents key.
    CONTROL_RECORD_IN LIKE EDIDC
    It contains the partailly filled control record
    EXPORETING PARAMETER
    OBJECT_TYPE
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT LIKE EDIDC
    TABLES
    INT_EDID LIKE EDIDD
    The internal table used to fill the data records in the same order as they exists in the IDOC.
    The important parameters that should be filled in the custom function module are
    CONTROL_RECORD_OUT and INT_EDIDD .The OBJK field of the structue NAST contains the key of the apllication document.
    2)Stand alone programs
    Generally used for Master Data transfer and as such depending upon the requirement can have different interfaces.The programs have a selection screen which has select options to select the objects, and parameters for specifying the recipient Logical System and the Message Type.
    Data is selected based on the specified objects from the tables . and control record of type EDIDC is created and filled with important values like DIRECTION ,IDOCTP,RCVPRT,RCVPRN and MESTYP .
    Data is filled in an internal table of TYPE EDIDD according to segment definitions
    and in same order and the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called passing the control record and the internal table containg IDOC data and importing an internal table consisting of control records for each communication IDOCS created.
    3)Change pointer
    Change Pointer table is read and checked if changes were made to important fields , if so the outbound program will be triggered automatically , these have predefined interfaces
    ALE/IDOC Transaction
    SALE Area Menu for ALE configurations.It includes transactions for
    Logical System definition and linking it to a client, Transactions for
    RFC Destination and Port Definition Etc.
    SM59 RFC Destination
    Here we specify the login settings for the destination including
    the I.P address or Application Server name and the User name and
    password.The information entered here is used to run Remote Function
    Calls(RFC ) on the destination server .We can create number of types
    of RFC Destinations but 3 types are important .
    R/3 (R/3 to R/3), LS(logical system) and TCP/IP.
    The name of the RFC destination should be same as that of Logical
    System as it helps in creation of automatic partner profiles.
    WE21 Port Definition.
    There are 6 types of ports but only 2 types File and Transactional RFC
    types of ports are important.
    We have to specify the RFC Destination before a port can be created.
    WE57 This is used to assign the Inbound function module to the Message Type
    and to the IDOC Type.
    WE42 This is used to define the process Code for Inbound Processing.
    BD95 Define Filter object type .We can specify the field and the table it belongs
    to as a filter object .
    BD59 Assignment of Filter object type to the Message Type .Here we create the
    link between Filter object and the segment and the message type and the
    segment Field.
    BD50 Set message Type to reducible.
    BD65 Define Mandatory Fields.
    BD64 Distribution Model . Also known as Customer Distribution Model Used to
    define all the messages that will be exchanged between remote systems
    and the name of thes logical systems. Any filters can also be specified.
    The model once created has to be distributed on every system which will
    be communicating ,It can be maintained on only One system.
    BD21 Creating IDOcs from change pointers.
    This can be used to create IDOCs from change pointers for a particular
    message LIKE MATMAS.
    BD22 This can be used to delete change pointers.
    BD87 Status Monitor. Idocs can be selected base on number of criteria and there
    processing status can be seen in detail.
    BD10 Material Master Data Distribution .
    Based on Message MATMAS.
    BD12 Customer Master Data Distribution .
    Based on Message CREMAS.
    BD14 Vendor Master Data Distribution
    Based on Message DEBMAS .
    BDFG Generate ALE Interface for BAPI.
    Here we specify the Business Object and the BAPI Function module for
    which the interface has to be created.
    WE31 Segment Editor.
    This is used to create segments. We create the segment type and
    segment definition is automatically created by editor e.g. Z1DUMMY is
    segment type and Z2DUMMY is the segment definition .We specify the
    fields and the data elements these cp\orresponds to create segments.
    WE30 IDOC Editor
    It is used to create a new IDOC Type or IDOC Extension .We specify the
    segments that will be addd to the IDOC type.
    WE02/05 IDOC List.
    Various selct options and parameters are provided to select IDOCs
    depending on the date, direction , mesage type etc.
    WE20 Partner Profile
    Here we create partner profile for each and every partner from / to which
    the messages will be exchanged.There are 6 types of PF generally only
    profiles of type LS(Logical System) ,KU(Customer) ,LI(Vendor) is used.
    We specify the partner number and partner type and the agent and
    the agent type responsible for handling of errors .
    For every message send to the partner we have a outbound record and for
    evry message coming from the partner we have the inbound record .
    We specify the message in the otbound/inbound records ,double
    clicking will take us to the detailed screen where the IDOC Type ,Port
    and whether the IDCO will be immediatelt processed or collected are
    mentioned.

    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)

  • Need docs. for IDoc & RFC

    Hi All,
    Please help me with documents of IDoc & RFC.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sree

    Hi,
    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.

    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)

    RFC and BAPI:
    RFC is Remote Function Call - a function module, which can be called remotely from outside
    BAPI is also a Remote enabled function module but the difference between BAPI and RFC is in BAPI there is a bussiness object attached to it which calls SAP application internally.
    can you explain RFC and BAPI???
    The difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI.
    RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to R/3 from an R/3 system. Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as RFC functions in the SAP development workbench. They are then called RFC function modules. BAPIs are complete sets of (BAPI) function modules that model a business application.
    RFC is the protocol used by SAP for remote communication, that is, for communications between remote independent systems.RFC is used for communications between two independent SAP systems, or for communications between an SAP system and a non-SAP system, such as an external application. It can also be used for communications between modules on the same system.Using the RFC interfaces you can extend the functionality of R/3 applications from an external program.
    An R/3 system also contains Business Application Programming Interfaces (also called Business APIs, or BAPIs), which provide a programming interface to business objects. BAPIs are a set of methods for working with and manipulating SAP business objects.Internally, BAPIs are implemented as function modules stored in the R/3 Function Builder. Each BAPI has an equivalent internally-named function module. However, you should use the BAPI and not the function module behind it, because the BAPI provides a stable, object-oriented view of R/3 applications and data. The internal function modules or even the fact that the BAPIs are implemented as function modules are not guaranteed to remain the same in future releases of R/3.
    BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface.
    It is a library of functions that are released to the public
    as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external
    system.
    RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system
    by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to
    R/3 from an R/3 system.
    Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as
    RFC functions in the SAP development workbench. They are
    then called RFC function modules. BAPIs are complete sets of
    (BAPI) function modules that model a business application.
    When you are familiar with web developments: RFC can be
    compared to HTTP and BAPIs are CGI applications.
    In other words: A BAPI function is a function module that
    can be called remotely using the RFC technology.
    RFC and BAPIs are remote enabled function modules. They are practicly the same. A BAPI is one step further as it usually is a self contained business function, such as "Create Purchase Order", or "Change Sales Document". BAPIs interface is very well defined and documented. BAPIs can be found in the BAPI browser via transaction BAPI. RFCs are just remote enabled function modules.
    BAPI stands for Business Application Programming Interface. It is a library of functions that are released to the public as an interface into an existing SAP system from an external system.
    RFC is the protocol used to call functions in an R/3 system by a caller external to R/3 or to call programs external to R/3 from an R/3 system. Functions can only be called via RFC, if they are tagged as RFC functions in the SAP development workbench.
    BAPIs are RFCs, the only difference is that BAPIs usually encapulate some complete business object. For example, creating a sales order, the BAPI would do all of the steps required to create a sales order.

  • IDOC creation from a flat file

    We currently receive a large volume of invoices from freight companies that move our product from point A to B.
    I will receive a file from the vendor with 10 fields.  The fields are BOL, shipdate, shipfrom_pt, shipto_pt, volume, rate, surcharge, total, invoice_no, invoice_dt.
    I may also get them to plug in the Vendor number on creation.
    Currently, our staff uses paper invoice with the BOL & shipdate to locate the PO in our system, then lookup the PO, and if the total in SAP matches to the total on the paper invoice, it is marked for payment (that is the short of it).
    We have eVision already in place which I use to build an iDOC for our Utility bills we receive.  But these occur once a month, whereas we may receive 50+ invoices from a freight vendor.
    Do I have enough information to create an iDOC in SAP, in which SAP will know how to locate and reconcile?  The invoic01 documentation is extensive and examples are nill.  Help on identifying the segments, fields and values necessary to generate an iDOC.
    The alternative is to import the file into SAP and write an ABAP pgm, with BAPI's to search and create the invoice.
    I wanted to go with iDOC as it is SAP's proprietary form for handling inbound records.
    Ralph

    Hi Ralph,
       In my opinion, you must have a PO Number for Invoice if you want to use standard functionality. You will probably need to create IDOC using an ABAP program which reads this file and search for PO based on the information available to you. I also notice that you are missing material number as well, how do you match the item number in the PO ?
       I don't see a way aroung without writing an ABAP program to handle this logic, but you can still use IDOC ( which comes with the standard processing logic and that is a big advantage ) so that you need to write only the PO matching logic.
      or if you are not inclined to write a separate program for uploading file into SAP and formatting IDOC, you can write your own process code (FM)for INVOICE01. Inside this process code (FM), you can put your PO matching logic and then call standard FM (process code). This is what I usually do.

  • Value mapping in the ERP system during IDOC creation

    We have a PI File-IDOC scenario.
    We can translate simple mappings such as currency or unit of measure in PI(7.1) using the Value Mapping function. For complicated mappings involving business logic (e.g. Tax code which is derived from multiple fields) we want to perform these mapping in the ERP (ECC6) system. Is there an approved generic SAP standard process where these value mappings can be done in the IDOC creation which is still valid when re-processing?
    e.g. a specific BADI or enhancement point recommended for these mapping?
    There might also be a requirement to add segments based on value mapping logic for example when a tax record segment is only required for a non-zero tax code which is mapped via business logic.
    Can someone please direct me in the right direction.

    Thanks for your answers but I assumed that using a user exit / Enhancement point was obvious. What I'd like to know is a generic entry point that I can estabolish a IDOC enhancement framework. Somewhere I can call a class containing methods linked to IDOC message types
    e.g. Call similar to my prototype (this will be where dependant on mappings certain segments will need to be inserted such as tax segments.
      ASSIGN control-mestyp TO <mestyp>.
        CALL METHOD (<mestyp>)
          EXPORTING
            control        = control
            data           = data
          IMPORTING
            have_to_change = have_to_change
            protocol       = protocol
            new_entries    = new_entries.
    The "entry point" must be processed both at creation and reprocess. We are also dealing with Inbound IDOCs not outbound

  • Change pointers and Idoc creation

    Hello,
    I would like to create change pointers for any changes regarding one of our customer infotypes: 9002 (hrp9002)
    I was able to do that, however, I'm struggeling with the details.
    The problem is that I do not want to send any data related to infotype 9002. I just need this change pointer to trigger idoc creation for the related objects.
    Example: Let's assume that infotype 9002 gets created for position S 40001234. Once a night a customer report is executed via a job which reads all unprocessed change pointers (including the one mentioned above) and sends the corresponding object. In this case, an Idoc for the holder of position 40001234 should be created WITHOUT data for infotype 9002.
    The message type is HRMD_A.
    What do I need to do?
    Thank you for your input.

    Hi,
    For Info type 9002 we need to implement Badi HRALE00CHANGE_PTRS using below code.
       LOOP AT  t_changed_objects  INTO   wa_changed_objects .
        CASE  wa_changed_objects-infty.
          WHEN '9002'.
            wa_cp_data-tabname = 'HROBJINFTY'.
            wa_changed_objects-plvar = '01' .
            wa_cp_data-tabkey  = wa_changed_objects .
            wa_cp_data-cdchgid = 'U'.
    *  wa_cp_data-CDOBJCL = 'HRMD_A'.
            APPEND wa_cp_data TO t_cp_data1 .
        ENDCASE.
      ENDLOOP.
      IF t_cp_data1 IS NOT INITIAL .
        CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGE_POINTERS_CREATE_DIRECT'
          EXPORTING
            message_type          = 'HRMD_A'
          TABLES
            t_cp_data             = t_cp_data1
          EXCEPTIONS
            number_range_problems = 1
            OTHERS                = 2.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    * Implement suitable error handling here
        ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
    This code will create entry in BDCP2 table.
    After thsi populating segemnet you need to code for below exit as .
    EXIT_SAPLRHAL_003
       IF PNNNN_NAME = 'P9002' .
    *FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS_plog> TYPE ANY.   "Field Symbol for dynamic filling of data based on the structure
    *Clearing the SUBRC
    CLEAR SUBRC.
    * fill workarea for infotype with infotype-data
    ASSIGN pnnnn_data TO <FS_plog> CASTING TYPE P9002.
    LS_9002 = <FS_plog>.
    * move fields
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING LS_9002 TO LS_p9002.
    * fill IDoc-data with workarea for segmenttype
    ASSIGN sdata_data TO <FS_plog> CASTING TYPE Z1P9002.
    <FS_plog> = LS_P9002.
    CONVERTED = ZCDP_IF_CONSTANTS_DTIRIS=>GC_CROSS .
    ENDIF.
    It will work fine.

  • Custom IDOC Creation from scratch

    Dear Experts
    This is the first time I am working on an ALE/EDI request from the client from scratch.
    This request is for establishing an outbound
    data connection to FedEx for the outbound shipping (from FedEx) process. The IDOCs will then be process via a xyz server(our side) and sent to a fedex abcd system. The data connection between xyz and abc has already been established.
    The tasks for modifying SAP for the outbound connection are as follows:
    1.  Create a new IDOC partner for fedex
    2. Create new outbound IDOC with trigger points as follows:
    Trigger u2013 For plants 1000 & 2000: Upon creation of an outbound delivery coming from a particular storage location, send the new IDOC to the fedex partner for the corresponding order. This IDOC will be used by fedex to determine the receiving party for the materials and creating the appropriate paper work, such as packing slips, customs invoices, etc.
    Can some one please tell me the steps required to accomplish this on the configuration side and the development needed (posting program etc)
    Theoretically I know the steps of ALV but I am seeking guidance from someone who has done this in real time because I don't know how many of those steps would be necessary for this.
    Help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi
    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.

    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)

  • What is the need of ALE/ IDOC

    Hi All,
    What is the need of ALE/ IDoc and why we go for ALE?IDOC with conditions
    Let me know the answers if anyone have the solution
    Regards'
    Ramesh

    ALE (Application Linking and Enabling)
    Ale Technology is SAP’s technology to support distributed yet integrated processes across several SAP systems.
    IDocs (Intermediate Documents) are the crux of ALE. These are the documents with the help of which data is exchanged between SAP R/3 and non-R/3 systems. As the name suggests, these documents act as intermediate storage of information, which can be sent bi-directionally. Message types are responsible for creation of Idocs.
    IDocs
    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.

  • Out bound IDOC creation

    Hi experts,
    I am given a task to create an out bound IDOC which would be input to TIBCO, which must be triggered every time Good issue transaction is completed by either VT02N or VL02N transaction up pressing SAVE.
    IDOC is to have fields from Customize tables apart from standard SAP tables, so was asked to create an own IDOC ( eg: Z--Idoc).
    Please tell me how to create the idoc, and also the method to trigger it and how to populate the IDOC ( program etc).
    Use full inputs would be promtly rewarded.
    Regards,
    Ram.

    3. Create New IDoc Type
    4. Create New Message Type
    5. Link Message with IDoc Type
    6. Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64
    7. Populate the Custom IDoc via ABAP Program
    7b Error Handling
    7c. Send Status Email
    8. Test the Population of the Custom IDoc
    Step 1 – Analyse Hierarchy Levels:
    Analyse the data relationships being processed in the interface. Define the appropriate hierarchical Parent-to-Child relationships.
    Navigate to transaction code WEDI
    Transaction WEDI displays the IDOC main menu. This allows navigation around the various development and control areas to create a customised IDOC.
    Step 2 – Create a new segment:
    via wedi : Development - IDOC Segments or Transaction code WE31.
    • Enter segment name and click on Create.
    ? The name of the segment type must start with Z1 , and have a maximum of eight characters.
    • Enter description and enter the relevant field names and data elements.
    ? The segment should represent a structure in the program so for each field in the segment a field name and a data element must be defined.
    • Save the segment and enter Person Responsible and Processing Person .
    • Go to Edit and Set Release.
    • Repeat this procedure for each new Segment in the IDOC.
    Step 3 – Create a new IDOC Type
    via wedi Development - IDOC Types or Transaction WE30.
    • Enter segment name (starting with Z), click on Basic Type and then Create.
    • Create as new, enter Person Responsible and Processing Person and enter description.
    • On ‘Create Basic Type’ screen decide where segments should be inserted and go to Edit/Create Segment.
    • Complete relevant fields in the Maintain Attributes screen:
    • From the relevant segments created in Step 2 enter the Segment type and if mandatory segment.
    • The Minimum and Maximum number of segments to be allowed in the sequence. (One minimum and one maximum if segment is mandatory).
    • The Parent Segment and Hierarchy Level will be automatically created depending on where in the IDOC tree you decided to create that particular segment.
    • Repeat this process for each segment needed in the IDOC type, deciding whether to add the next segments at the same level or as a ‘Child’.
    • When IDOC created return to initial screen. Go to Edit and Set Release.
    • Go to Transaction WE60 to view the IDoc Type you have created.
    Step 4 – Create new Message Type
    via wedi Development - Message Types or Transaction WE81.
    • Display/Change and click on New Entries
    • Create a new Message Type and Save.
    Step 5 – Link Message Type to IDOC Type
    via wedi Development - IDOC Type/Message or Transaction WE82.
    • Display/Change and then click on New Entries.
    • Enter Message Type, Basic Type (IDOC Type) and Release (46C) and Save.
    Step 6 – Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64.
    The partner profile for the Idoc must be set up and generated in the transaction BD64 and transaction WE20.
    • WE20 – Add Message Type to appropriate Partner Type, Enter Message Type, Receiver Port and Idoc Type and Save.
    • BD64 – Create a Model View, Enter Sender and Receiver Ports, Attach Message Type. Go to ‘Environment’ on Menu and click on Generate Partner Profiles and generate (not save) profile.
    Step 7 – Populate the custom IDOC via ABAP Program
    See Test Program ZOUTBD_IDOC_TEMPLATE, Appendix IV.
    • Create an Internal Table for each segment type, this should be exactly the same structure as the segment type.
    • The control record is filled into a structure like EDIDC. The message type and the Idoc type for the Idoc must be populated into the eddic structure.
    - PERFORM populate_Control_structure USING c_mestyp
    c_SEGMENT_type1.
    • The data segments are filled into a structure like edidd-sdata; sdata and the segment name are populated into the edidd structure.
    - PERFORM transfer_Parent_data_to_seg.
    • The standard SAP function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called to pass the populated IDOC to the ALE Layer.
    - PERFORM master_idoc_distribute.
    • NOTE: This function module is only called for stand alone programs and Shared Master Data programs (SMD). It is not called when using extensions or output determination.
    • The ALE Layer handles the sending of the IDOC to the receiving system.
    • Error Handling (see Step 7b).
    • Commit work.
    Project Specific
    Step 7b – Error Handling• Analyse which fields in the interface are mandatory for the receiving system and who needs to receive error notification.
    • Declare a structure of type ‘MCMAILOBJ’ for sending instructions.
    • Enter values for the internal table based on structure ‘MCMAILOBJ’
    • For selection processes, on SY-SUBRC checks and where fields are mandatory for the receiving system; insert Function Module ‘MC_SEND_MAIL’.
    • Enter values in the following parameters: -
    MS_MAIL_SENDMODE = ‘B’ (Batch Mode)
    MS_MAIL_TITLE = 'Mail Title'
    MS_MAIL_DESCRIPTION = ‘Error description’ (e.g. MATNR not given)
    MS_MAIL_RECEIVER = ‘Name of Receiver’ (To be determined)
    MS_MAIL_EXPRESS = ‘E’ (Express Delivery)
    MS_MAIL_DLINAME = Leave Blank
    MS_MAIL_LANGU = 'E' (Language)
    MS_MAIL_FUNKOBJ_NAME = Leave Blank
    TABLES
    MS_MAIL_CONT = I_MCMAILOBJ
    Note:
    It has to be determined separately for each interface how these errors and mail notifications are to be grouped – dependant upon the number of errors that are potentially likely. One possible approach is to send an email for each reason for rejection and include all the records that failed for that reason in the mail notification. Another possible approach is to send an email for every failure.
    When error checking for mandatory fields it is common SAP practice to reject a record on its first failure (irrespective of subsequent errors in that record)
    Step 7c – Send status mail
    • Append to table I_MCMAILOBJ details of the time the interface was processed, how many Idocs were created and how many of these produced a status of 03.
    • Select the user to receive the mail from ZINT_RECEIVER, using the name of the program as a key (SY-CPROG).
    • Use function Module ‘MC_SEND_MAIL’ to send a mail to the user containing the contents of I_MCMAILOBJ at the end of the interface processing.
    Step 8 – Test the population of the custom IDOC
    via wedi IDoc - Display IDoc or Transaction WE02.
    • Enter your message type and execute.
    • Status should be green, double click on one of the Idocs you have created to view its contents.
    • If a problem has occurred click on Status which will give you a description of the error.
    • Drop down Data Records arrow and this should list the data in the IDoc in the correct hierarchical structure.
    • Click on each individual segment and view the content to check that the correct data has been read.
    • If you have UNIX access by using AL11 you can view the file that you have created.
    Note:
    For some interfaces it may be valid to send an empty file to SAP. This empty file is converted to the custom IDOC format expected by SAP. This custom IDOC will contain dummy information. In the inbound processing code, if the dummy information is identified then the processing of the IDOC is considered to be complete and the IDOC should then be assigned a successfully processed status of 53, even though it has not been processed at all.

  • Get Archived IDocs based on IDoc creation date

    Save Our Environment. Save Yourself.
    Hi Experts!!!
    We need to get the archived idocs based on the idoc creation date. If I give some date, then I should get all the idocs that are archived in that period. How can this be possible?
    One more doubt is - I checked the logical path in FILE for archived idocs. But when I go to that in AL11, I can not see any data in that. Where can I find the details of all the archived idocs?
    I serached in SCN for the same but in vain.
    Please help me out. Thanks.
