Query on idoc type creation

hi,
1.How can we rectify the warning messages thrown out during the process of creating a new idoc type-for extending a new segment?
2.If a idoc type is created and released with warning messages-how to delete that?
With Regards,
Srividya

Hi,
You can use transaction BD87 to reprocess errorneous IDOC.
You can also use transaction WE19 to generate/regenerate the IDOC.
Let me know following so i can help you finding the solution.
- IDOC is inbound or outbound?
- Which document triggers the idoc OR which document is being posted thru IDOC
- What is the IDOC type?
- What is tje Extension type and where have you added extension segments?
- What message type and process code you are using?
- How are you populating the extension segments? Which user-exit?
- What error are you getting?
Let me know these things so i can help you.

Confusion on IDOC types for creation of PO

Hi,
Requirement is sending PO from sendin SAP system to receiving system.
For sending am using-
Processing code ME10
On serching forums and tutorials, i came across IDOC type- ORDERS05 but this idoc type is for both PO and SO.
PORDCR04 idoc type for creation of PO only.
Some post says PORDCR04 doesnt create PO header text.On the other hand,For inbound processing of PO idoc ( using ORDERS05 ) processing code is not available.
I will be thankful if somebody can guide me which of these idoc types is preferable.
Thanks.

Hell Sanjay
Outbound ORDERS (= Purchase Order) and inbound ORDERS (= Sales Orders) are like siblings which reflect the customer / supplier relationship.
In case of the PORDCR04 IDoc it is somewhat different because does it make sense to have the same purchase order in different system?
In our case a POS (= point of sales) system is used to create a purchase order (for replenishment) which is then converted (via SAP-PI) into an inbound PORDCR04 IDoc in the ERP system. Out of this purchase order a replenishment delivery (for the shops) is created.

Query on Extended Idoc Types

Hi all,
I am new to ALE/IDOC'S but has bit idea on that.
I was asked to extend an Extension Idoc type. Kindly give me the steps on that. Also if an Idoc type is released, then how can i modify that idoc for segment insertion?
Kindly reply me, i m in very much need..
Thanks,,
Kumar

Hi,
Q) Also if an Idoc type is released, then how can i modify that idoc for segment insertion?
Go to WE30 and select the menu option 'Cancel Release'.
For this you should have the proper
authorization.Otherwise this option greyed out.
Q ) I was asked to extend an Extension Idoc type. Kindly
   give me the steps on that.
   Go to WE31 and create the segment by adding the
   required fields and specify whether its a mandatory
   segment and number of times it can be repeated.
After that Goto WE30 and add the segment at the level
   which you want your new segment needs to be added.
Please let me know if you are facing any issues.
Thank you.

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.

For creating a IDOC u need to Create a segment type in WE31.The internal table in which we store the data to be passed to the IDOc thos fielda are defined in fieldname and data element.Save and release the segment.
Create IDOC type in WE30. Give min and max types. Mark it as mandatory.
Create Message type in WE81.Assign it to a change request and save it.
Link this message type with IDOC type in WE82.
Then start your coding and pass the details of Data and control records.

Hi
Check for the related IDOC types in EDBAS table and for related Message Types
in table EDMSG. take relavent one for your requirement and use.
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.

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)

POS outbound profile (Idoc type u0096 WP_PLU02)

Hi all
I have facing problem when I have flow data from sap to pos
Problem- there is one article that not listed to a site but when I m flowing article with the help of wpma Idoc of this article is also generated for the particular site and flow data to that site
I want if article is not listed to site then idoc will not generated
Idoc type WP_PLU02

Hi Justin,
key of the record WP_PLU IDoc is the article number and unit of measurement. This is always transferred with the main EAN/UPC (MARM-EAN11 in the article master data). All additional EAN (from table MEAN in the article master data) are transferred in the WP_EAN Message. There is no option to include additional EAN/UPCs into the WP_PLU IDoc.
This approach works well as long as the POS system uses a similar data model with PLUs (with the key of the main EAN/UPC) and cross reference UPCs in a separate table.
However if your POS system requires a PLU per EAN/UPC it would be necessary that the middleware between SAP Retail and POS creates these records as a combination of the WP_PLU and WP_EAN messages. In this case it would be required that the POS Outbound creates a WP_EAN message each time when a WP_PLU message is created and vice versa.
The creation of this additional message can be controlled by the Parameter TWPFI-EAN_ART.

hi go to the tcode...
1) Create Segment ( WE31)
2) Create Idoc Type ( WE30)
3) Create Message Type ( WE81)
4) Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)
Tcode- we19 is for testing idoc
in the we42 the message type and the idoc function module is ataached by the process code..
this is a best example to understand the creation of idocs(z)..

Get Idoc Types Processed by Jobs Running Programs RBDAPP01 or RBDMANI2

Hi Everyone! I would just like to ask if there is a way I can identify all background jobs which are processing a specific idoc type in SAP?
For example, I want to get the Jobs that are processing inbound idoc type WMMBXY using program RBDAPP01 or RBDMANI2.
Is there a way to extract this information?
Thanks in advance!

Vincent, we have a conservative approach RE those programs that re-process IDOCs in pending or error status : we do not define those jobs with open selections, instead we are specific in terms of message type and partner where applicable. We also set a limit in the number or attempts on a failed IDOC by setting a 'rolling start date' (like current date - 7). Besides audit considerations about lingering processes, you also need to take into account the impact of this process on the tale size. Each time the job runs and the IDOC fails, a status record will be added to the EDIDS table for each of those IDOC. If you do not pay attention, you may end up with large amounts of data. This is not only going to unplease your BASIS and DB administrator but eventually put in jeopardy your archiving process (wchich could lead to a system crash !!).
We usually aslo complement those jobs with a status change step (moving from error to no further processing) ; the date parameter can be set to something like anythiing with a creation date > current date + 3 months
To come back to your question : SM37 using the program name as parameter will help you find the associated jobs, but you might need to look into the step(s) and associated variant to get the messages those jobs / steps are processing

Idoc types & message types

hi friends, please can somebody post different kinds of Idoc types and message types used in sd , from sd's point of view. and also explain giving examples if you could. thanks
points will be awarded for sure . thanks
seema roy

Dear Seema,
concerning EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
If MM-customer would like to purchase the goods then he creates the IDOC of type ORDERS and send it to SD-customer. On the SD-side the IDOC is processed via the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and creates the sales order. As confirmation the SD-side can send to MM-side the Order-Response IDOC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS). The MM-customer can every thime send a change to the existiong order, then on SD side the ORDCHG IDOC will be processed. It can change the order like in VA02. The creation of the invoice can be made via IDOC of message type INVOIC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
So, the process can be realized completely automatically between SD and MM partners with the help of IDOCs: ORDERS, ORDCHG, ORDRSP, INVOIC.
That's all concerning the SD-EDI.
Additional processes in SD, where EDI are used:
1) application of delivery schedules to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELINS
2) creation of a delivery order to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELORD
3) creation of external agent service delivery to scheduling agreement: IDOC of type EDLNOT
4) creation of credit advice / credit memo in the frames of self-billing: IDOCs of type GSVERF, SBWAP and for external invoice creation SBINV.
It is all processes which are realized in the SD module via EDI.
There is not so much Customizing for EDI. The most entries are required by EDI for the scheduling agreement processing (DELINS, EDLNOT, SBINV). The Customizing of these processes is located in the Customizing of scheduling agreements: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Sales => Sales Documents => Scheduling agreements with delivery schedules => Control EDI Inbound processing.
General EDI Customizing in SD is available under: SPRO => Sales and Distribution => Electronic Data Interchange => EDI messages => ...
I hope this info helps.

INVOIC IDOC type sample

Hi,
Can someone provide me with a sample inbound INVOIC IDOC with planned delivery costs. We already use thei IDOC type for incoming invoices and are trying to enhance it to include planned delivery costs. I have tried using segment E1EDp05 to give the condition type and amount corresponding to planned delivery costs. But, the IDOC is always erroring with an imbalance between credits and debits and it does not seem to be passing the values from E1EDP05 segment to the invoice creation function module.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Chitra

Hi CA,
Just ty with this sample...
If you want to send invoices with delivery costs from you must use Transaction CMOD to program the EXIT_SAPLMRMH_014 user exit as follows:
Create a customer project and use Transaction CMOD to call it. Add the MRMH0002 enhancement and the EXIT_SAPLMRMH_014 component. Insert the source code into the ZXM08U25 include.
DATA: ls_data_s01 type E1EDS01,
lv_beznk type MRM_RBKPV-beznk.
IF I_IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM = 'E1EDS01'.
ls_data_s01 = I_IDOC_DATA-SDATA.
IF ls_data_s01-sumid = '020'.
lv_beznk = ls_data_s01-summe.
E_RBKPV-BEZNK = lv_beznk.
E_CHANGE = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Adding fields to custom idoc type

Hi,
i have a query regarding adding fields to custom idoc type.
To add fields to custom idoc type we are trying to cancel the release from we30, but we are facing error that 'The release of basis type cannot be reset'
When we are trying to cancel release from we31we are facing error 'Error while ressting release of segment z type'.
Kindly suggest the solution to add fields in basic idoc type.
Thanks & regards,
Farheen.

Reason that you are getting these errors is that you cannot cancel
the release of an extension made in previous version . Instead you have to create a new extension.
1.It is not possible to change a segment definition which is released in a
lower release.
2.You must create a new segment definition for the new release e.g. 620 with a new segment
field with the appropriate length.
In transaction WE20, outbound parameters, you can specify
the "segment release in IDoc type" for the communication.
Please read the F1 help of this field for further information.
3.For your own segments you can define a new version of the segment
tcode WE31 -> Add Version
Thanks!

IDoc acknowledgement scenario using ALEAUD01 IDoc type

Hi All,
I have a query, regarding IDoc acknowledgement scenario using ALEAUD01 IDoc type as mentioned below.
In a scenario where we configure and send ALEAUD01 to sender as acknowledgement of the IDoc’s received, is there any way how do we make sure that IDoc’s received by target SAP system has sent the acknowledgement successfully. Would there be any key information in the ALEAUD01 IDoc, which refers to the IDoc/data sent?
Thanks

I needed 24 seconds to know the answer
I took the word ALEAUD01 into Google and added site:help.sap.com in the search field
Among the first 10 results was one with the subject

one click to open and skimming through the text ....
And opening one of the other hits in Google told me even which field is having this info

Idoc type, message type and process code for EDI 940 & 945

Hi,
We are implementing a scenario wherein we are required to send a Wharehouse Shipping Order to the warehouse (forwarding agent) using EDI 940. The output of the o/b is triggered from the Delivery (VA01) after creation of a Delivery in SAP. Once the warehouse ships the goods, it notifies us back by sending EDI 945 (Warehouse Shipping Advice). Using this inbound 945 we are required to update the existing delivery in SAP, i.e., it should do the Pick, Pack and PGI.
Can someone tell me which Idoc type, Message Type and Process code should be used for the above scenario.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Gajendra

Hi Gajendra,
For EDI940, you can use message type SHPORD or WHSORD, IDOC type DELVRY01 and process code DELV.
For EDI945, you can use message type SHPCON or WHSCON, IDoc type DELVRY01 and process code DELV.
Hope this will help.

Create Idoc Type under ECC6

Hi folks,
I've created a new Idoc segment for an existing idoc (The original idoc doesn't have the fields I need). I'm now trying to create a new Idoc type taking into consideration the new Idoc Extension I've created. When I type my new idoc type and select 'basic type', I believe I should get prompted (somewhere) to enter the Basic Idoc type and Extension type, but when I create a new basic type, I don't get the option to add my new extension. And If I copy the original basic type, I don't get my new segments.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing in the create new Idoc Process?
Cheers,
Steve

Hi Stephen..
According to ur Scenario (Adding new Segments to a Basic type ) , you should not create a Basic idoc type . Rather you should create an Extended idoc type in WE30.
That will ask for the Basic type and the new segments can be added here.
This is the Complete info:
1.
IDOC Enhancement
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.
