Questions to a Mapping for IDOC-to-File Scenario

Question

Hi all,
I want do develop a Message-Mapping for an IDOC-to-File Scenario. A SAP System sends an IDOC to the XI-System and the XI-System should make a mapping an send a XML-File to a FTP-Server. The Strukture of the target message is very easy:
<xdoc>
   <Invoice>
      @purno
      <HeaderInfo>
         <invno/>
         <shipdate/>
         <extvalue/>
      </HeaderInfo>
      <DetailInfo>
         <LineItem>
            @lineno
            <vpartno/>
            <descrip/>
            <qtyord/>
            <cost/>
            <vendmemo/>
         </LineItem>
      </DetailInfo>
   </Invoice>
</xdoc>
The source message is an IDOC. This IDOC can contain one or more positions (E1EDP01). Those different positions should be mapped into different LineItem's (see target structure) -> so in the target file one or more LineItems can appear.
Is it possible to implement this process with a common message-mapping or have I to implement a business process?
Thanks
with best regards

Hi Christopher,
<i>Is it possible to implement this process with a common message-mapping or have I to implement a business process?</i> - This thing is possible with common message mapping......you dont need business proces for it.......in msg mapping after taking the source IDOC and target xml struc, map the E1EDP01 field to LineItem field.......just check the occurance of these nodes.....it should be 0..unbounded.........so as many E1EDP01 nodes will be there in idoc, that many LineItem nodes in target will be created.......
