Reg. IDoc errors in Mat Mas conversion using ALE/IDocs & reduced msg type

Hi Friends,
Am facing a strange situation while converting the Material Master data from 4.6b to ECC using BD10 transaction with reduced custom message type. I have reduced the standard msg type MATMAS03 using BD53 for the required field mapping both in 4.6b and ECC systems and I written the code using the exit EXIT_SAPLMV01_002 based on client req.
The situation is that in receiving system(ECC) sometimes IDocs are failing and the error shows that some fields which I have not selected in E1MARAM segment of the reduced msg type are populated with some values(ex: zeroes-0, slash-/,spaces)
(Error Msg -Blank spaces in change number 0 / are not supported). And all these coversions are scheduled as Batch jobs and by ALE setup. But when I try to send these errored out material numbers using BD10 tcode(without Batch job), they are posted successfully and the IDoc does not show the additonal fields which I have not selected. I tried to debug the errored parts conversion, but they always post successfully.
FYI, the additonal fields which are populating does not exist in the message type MATMAS03 of the sending system(100 flds) but exists in receiving system ECC(118 flds).
Please help me out..if you have any clue.. and pls let me know if you need more info about this scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
Please check the documentation in WE60 tcode and see if the fields are required to be passed...

Error while crating Sales Order using ALE-IDoc?

Hi all,
I have developed an ALE-Idoc interface to create Sales Order automatically When the user created a purchase order. It is working fine since past two months.
But now one SO is not created and the error message in Inound idoc is 'Sales Area not defined' message no V1316.
The material used in Po creation is created recently and using first time . i am expecting the problem is with in this material because the PO's created based on other materials is still creating the SO successfully.
Please help me in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Hi shan ,
Thanks for you reply. The sales area for customer and vendor is maintained in VOE2 and taking correctly for other materials except for the new material.
Also in Inbound IDoc which contains the error is having correct sales area in it's segment . But showing that in the error message as 'sales area & & & is not defined' here the sales area is wrong one it is dispalying.
so please help me on identifying the problem?
Thanks,

Data transfer using ALE/IDOC into XML.

Dear All,
I have to transfer FI document data (FB01) from the sap system ,convert it into XML and dump it in 1 of the file servers.I want to do this using ALE/IDOC.Is it possible to do the same and how.Similarly i want to do the same for Vendor and Customer master i.e sending the data in XML format.
Kindly Suggest how do i go about doin the same..Its very urgent.Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

In continuation:
Example Purchasing & Selling scenario
We will develop a custom IDoc to carry the billing number from the Service Receivers system to the Service Providers system. We will populate the IDoc in a user exit on the sending side and we will process the transaction on the receiving side using a custom function module and a BDC transaction call.
No rule conversion, segment filtering or version conversion will be implemented in the model as described in Figure 1.
Requirements
Working ALE environment - See ALE Basis Configuration Guide;
ALE scenario design together with the business requirement;
Development access; and
ALE configuration access.
NOTES:
1. All IMG references to transactions are located in the transaction SALE which is the ALE portion of the IMG
2. This is one way of developing a scenario where no message control exists. If message control exist (EG. On purchase orders) then NAST can be used to call an outbound function module that would create the required IDocs.
3. Extensive knowledge of IDocs and ALE basis configuration is required in order to understand this guide.
2. OUTBOUND PROCESSING
2.1. Create IDoc type (WE30) Client independent
The IDoc type refers to the IDoc structure that you will require for your development. In our case the IDoc type is called ZINVRV01. This IDoc type will have 1 segment called Z1INVRV with 2 fields, LIFNR & XBLNR, in this segment. If you require many segments or nested segments then they are also created using the same procedure.
We will create the IDoc of the following structure:
ZINVRV01
Purchasing and Selling - Invoice receipt reversal
Z1INVRV P&S - Segment 1
Segment fields
LIFNR Vendor account number
XBLNR Reference document number
Figure 3: IDoc type ZINVRV01
To create the IDoc type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE30 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain IDoc type)
Type in ZINVRV01 and click on Basic IDoc type, click the Create icon
Click on Create new (we are creating an IDoc from scratch but you may want to copy another IDoc if it is similar to your requirements) and enter a description, and press enter
Click on ZINVRV01 and then on the Create icon
Enter Z1INVRV as the segment type (must start with Z1), check mandatory if the segment must exist (in this case check it), enter 1 in minimum number and 1 as maximum number. (Make the maximum number 9999999999 if there are going to be many of these segments in each IDoc. IE. When line items are passed via IDocs), click on Segment editor
Enter a description for your segment type and create
Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc, in our case type LIFNR across for Field name, DE structure and DE documentation, repeat for XBLNR and press enter to validate.
Save and generate, press back
To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu
Check the box on the line of your new segment
Save, back and enter
Your IDoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment
Save and back
To release the IDoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes
Your IDoc is now ready for use. If you need to add fields or segments to your IDoc type, you will need to cancel the release of the IDoc type as well as the segment release using a similar procedure followed above (except now you uncheck the release box for the segment and you choose cancel release for the IDoc type).
2.2. Create message type (WE81) Client independent
To create a new message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE81 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Create logical message type)
Choose Create logical message type by double clicking on it
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to add a new type
Enter the required message type, in our case it is ZINVRV and an appropriate description
Save and exit.
Your message type has now been created. The next step will be to link it to the IDoc.
2.2.1. Link message to IDoc type (WE82 & BD69) Client independent
To link the message type to the IDoc type follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction WE82 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> EDI: Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Enter transaction BD69 (ALE -> Extensions -> IDoc types -> Maintain message type for intermed. Structure -> Assign message type to IDoc for ALE)
Click on change icon to enter change mode
Click on New entries to create the link
Enter the message type ZINVRV and the BasicIDoc type as ZINVRV01
Save and exit
Your IDoc is now linked to your message type. We still need to link object types and add the message to the model before we can use the message.
2.2.2. Maintain object type for message type (BD59) Client independent
The ALE objects are used to create links between IDocs and applications objects, to control the serialisation, to filter messages in the customer model and to use listings.
For our own message type and IDoc you must maintain object types for the links.
If you want to check the serialisation for the message type, then you must maintain object types for the serialisation. If no serialisation object has been maintained for a given message type, then the serialisation will not be checked for this message type.
To add an object type to our message type, follow these next few steps:
Enter transaction BD59 (ALE -> Extensions -> ALE object maintenance -> Maintain object types)
Type in your message type ZINVRV and press enter
Click on New entries
Enter your object type, LIFNR (We need to use the vendor as a filter object), the segment name where LIFNR resides, Z1INVRV, a number 1 for the sequence followed by the actual field name LIFNR
Save and exit.
You have now created an object that well use as a filter object in the customer model to direct the flow of messages to the various logical systems based on the vendors in the filter of the message type ZINVRV.
We now need to add our new message type to the distribution model.
2.3. Configuring the Distribution Model
This task is performed on your ALE reference client.
2.3.1. Manual Configuration (BD64) Client dependent
To manually configure the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure, and follow these steps:
Perform the Maintain customer distribution model directly function. (ALE -> Distribution customer model -> Maintain customer distribution model directly)
Specify the customer model you want to maintain and the logical system that is to be the sender of the messages OR create a new model. (Create model ALE with logical system ALELS1C400)
Choose the receiving systems to which the sending system must forward message type ZINVRV to.
For each receiving logical system allocate the message type necessary for communication to the receiving systems as per ALE configuration procedure.
Create filter objects (in our case LIFNR as the object type with the associated vendor number, 0000018001 with leading zeros, in the object area) for the message types.
Save the entries.
NOTES:
You cannot maintain a message type between the same sender and receiver in more than one customer distribution model.
Only the owner is authorised to modify the model.
To change the owner of a model, choose the 'Maintain ownership of customer distribution model' function. Make sure that all changes will be distributed to all systems that know the corresponding model. To do so, you can use the correction and transport system.
To transport the customer distribution model you should use the Distribute customer model function of the IMG as described below.
2.3.2. Distribute customer model (BD71) Client dependent
After the customer model has been created centrally, it must be distributed to the other remote systems. This entails first of all setting up the communication for the distributed systems and then sending the model.
2.3.2.1. Distribute Model (BD71) Client dependent
This task is performed on your ALE reference client. To distribute the customer distribution model, read the ALE configuration procedure and follow these steps:
Make the settings for the communication with the other decentral systems, you have not set them yet.
Define the RFC destination for R/3 connections whose names correspond to the name of the corresponding logical system.
Create the output partner profile.
Distribute the customer model
Specify the name of the customer model.
You must specify the target system to which you want to distribute the customer model.
You must repeat this function for every distributed logical system.
2.3.2.2. Maintain sending system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
With this function, you define the partner profiles for all outbound and inbound messages on the basis of the customer distribution model.
After you have defined and distributed the customer model, you will have to maintain the partner profiles locally. To do this read the ALE configuration procedure.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) and the package size for outbound processing.
Requirements
The customer model must be maintained.
RFC destinations must be maintained.
The customer model must be distributed.
To ensure that the appropriate persons in charge are informed if a processing error occurs, you must make settings in: Error processing Maintain organisational units.
2.4. Populate & distribute IDoc using ABAP
An IDoc consists of a control record with structure edidc and one or more data records with structure edidd. The control record contains the sender and recipient of the IDoc, as well as information on the type of message.
To be able to pass an IDoc to the ALE layer, you must set up a field string with structure edidc and an internal table with structure edidd. They are used to call function module master_idoc_distribute, which performs the save to the database and triggers the dispatch if necessary.
2.4.1. Example code
The code displayed below does the following:
populates our IDoc segment Z1INVR with the 2 fields XBLNR and LIFNR, populates the segment name and appends this to an internal table used to store the IDoc data;
populates the control record info with the message type and IDoc type; and
calls the MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module which distributes the IDoc as configured in the customer distribution model.

3.1. Create Function Module
This function module is called when a message type, of type ZINVRV, comes into the receiving system. This needs to be configured and is dealt with later in this section. The function module is passed the IDoc as a parameter.

Figure 5: Inbound processing example code
3.1.1. Debugging inbound FM
Use transaction WE19 to test inbound function module in debugging mode. Also use WE05 to view the IDocs and their statuses.
3.2. Maintain ALE attributes
The inbound function module needs to be linked to the message type and the message type needs to be linked to the appropriate inbound process code at the partner profile level before the scenario is enabled. These steps are described below in detail.
3.2.1. Link Message Type to Function Module (WE57) Client independent
To link a message (ZINVRV) type to a function module (Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV) follow these steps:
Enter transaction WE57 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Allocate function module to logical message)
Select an entry (EG. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS) and copy
Type in module name Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Type in basic IDoc type as ZINVRV01
Type in message type as ZINVRV
Type object type as IDOCINVOIC (Invoice document) - Used for workflow
Direction should be set to 2 for inbound
Enter and save
3.2.2. Define FM settings (BD51) Client independent
Enter transaction BD51 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Define settings for input modules)
Click on New entries
Type in the name of the new function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
Enter 0 for mass processing in the output column
Save and Exit
3.2.3. Maintain process codes (WE42) Client dependent
A process code needs to be maintained on each client. It then needs to be linked to the message via the partner profiles on each client. This allows the various clients to use a unique function module for the same message type.
To maintain the process code follow these steps:
Log on to the appropriate receiving system client
Execute WE42 (ALE -> Extensions -> Inbound -> Maintaining process codes inbound)
Choose Inbound with ALE service
Choose Processing with function module
Click on Processing with function module and choose create icon
Click on New Entries
Type in process code ZINR and give it a description and save
Now you are asked to Please maintain codes added in ALE entry methods, enter and choose Z_IDOC_INPUT_FIRVSL and copy it. You should choose a FM similar to your one.
Enter your process code ZINR
Enter your function module Z_IDOC_INPUT_ZINVRV
NOTE: The next 6 steps are used in workflow error handling.
Enter IDPKFIDCMT in object type
Enter MASSINPUTFINISHED in End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in IDoc object type
Enter INPUTERROROCCURREDFI in IDoc start event
Enter INPUTFINISHEDFI in IDoc End event
Enter IDOCINVOIC in Application object type
You will need to determine the task associated with object IDOCINVOIC, and then assign the appropriate position to it. This position will then receive the application error messages via workflow.
To set up the workflow area please consult the Workflow config guide.
3.3. Create inbound partner profile
For each message type you need to maintain the inbound partner profiles.
3.3.1. Maintain receiving system partner profile (WE20) Client dependent
To maintain inbound partner profiles read the document ALE configuration procedure:
Add the message type ZINVRV with process code ZINR.
Enter the output mode (background, immediately) for inbound processing and NO message code.
Enter the position S and choose the ALE administrator 50000085. This position will then receive all the technical ALE errors via workflow.
3.4. Test
Once the inbound function module has been debugged the scenario should be ready to test in its entirety. If problems occur, read through the relevant areas of this document to check your configuration or code.
Hope this will help you,
If you want me to explain more, you can give me your email id.

Lsmw using ALE/IDOC Method

Hi Team,
I am trying for lsmw using ALE/IDOC Method.
I have defined the segment type, message type, defined a basic type and defined a partner profile of the receiver system.
When i try to execute the Start Idoc Generation step in generating LSMW creation steps. I am getting below error "No partner exists with the nae ", type".
Please help me in resolving the warining.
No partner exists with the name '', type ''
Regards
Sunil
Edited by: sunil kumar on Jul 30, 2009 11:26 AM

Hi,
for LSMW , you have to create partner profile type as 'US'.
once the partner profile created in we20,
goto tcode lsmw , in menu select "Settings -> Inbound Idoc Processing"
maintain FilePort, partner type and Partner number and then press Activiate Idoc Inbound pricessing.
Then you will not get this error message.

Passing Changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system

Hi all,
Please tell me how passing changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
For ex. in matmas05 extended for classification and inspection view and then created using 'CREATION'
related bapi.Do i also need to incorporate the changes by change related bapi or ir can be handled by change pointer concept.
Thanks.

Hi Sanu
1) Please tell me how passing changed extended fields using ALE-IDOC to receiving system can be achieved. Is it possible by Chnage pointer concept.
=> Looks like you have extended standard IDOC here. so you need to find User Exit or BADI for the Push program to populate the additional fields. Yes, it is possible thru change pointers as well.
1) Do i need to do some coading after data enters into receiving system as it is required while creating the entries in database table.
=> Yes, as suggested in 1 try finding User Exits/BADIs.

Issue in transporting changed material type using ALE-IDOC

Hi All,
I am sending the material master data from one system to another using ALE-IDOC.The issue is that teh material type is not getting sent from one system to another after changing the material type.I mean the changes in material type are not getting updated.I will be indeed thankful if anyone can guide me resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
Not all the fields that are changed in material master are sent in the Idoc. Material type is one such field.
Create change pointer on some other field ex. net value or material desc. and transfer the material type changes under it.

Problem in creating Invoice receipt using ALE-IDoc?

Hi all,
I implemented the auto creation of invoice receipt when billing document created using ALE-Idoc. It is working fine in PRD also.
But today , there occurred a problem in this . The problem is when the billing document is created the Invoice receipt is not creating directly , but a job is creating. But till yesterday it created the invoice receipt immediately as we required.
So please help me on changing the creation of invoice receipt directly from current job creation?
No configuration has been changed , but my user tried to create the more than one billing document at a time.so i think this is the reason for it. But now though he is creating only one billing document , it is creating a job.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Help: one request using ALE&IDOC to Posting Goods Issue about MaterialScrap

Hi Exports,
i got a situation. My client is using ALE&IDOC to deal with the Material Scrapping. The business scenario is:
1. One third system (Non-SAP) Send IDOC to SAP Production Server through the Intermedia SEEBEYOND.
    Message Type: MBGMCR
    IDOC Type: MBGMCR02
    BUSINESS OBJECT: BUS2017
2. SAP Production Server use "Message Type: MBGMCR" to find out the BAPI in Distribution Model and trigger the BAPI.
the Distribution Model:
Model View
SEEBEYONG
PRODUCTION
GoodsMovement.CreateFromData
Reciever determination: no filter
Now my client's request is:
When the Movement Type is 551 in the IDOC Segment "E1BP2017_GM_ITEM_CREATE", This IDOC will be ignore and not trigger the BAPI to post goods issue.

Business Partner Conversion using LSMW IDOC

Hi Experts,
I need a serious suggestion.
I am planning to do my Business Partner master data conversions using LSMW method IDOC CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03. Is this is right choice or best practice?
During Coversions how do we do error handling or reporting. For example i have uploaded 10k BP's. if there 1k errors how do you report. I think it is tough to check each and every idoc status and message.
Thanks guys.

Error while uploading the data Using LSMW - Idoc method

Hi Experts,
I am working on LSMW using Idoc method. Till 12th step (Display converted data) i wasn't got any problem. For the Idoc method, I have to specify details to Idoc inbound processing from the menu settings.
In that screen I have to specify file port, partner type and partner no. I have created a file port ZFILE. Can u tell me what ahould I pass in that screen? Where should be the file i.e in the application server or presentation server? What should be the directory and function module. Can u provide step by step?
After that I have to specify partn.type. What should I select for that?
After that I have to specify partner no. Whether it is inbound or outbound?
I got No data found for the following detials.
port - ZFILE
in the inbound file tab, e:\ as physical directory; EDI_PATH_CREATE_USERNAME as function module.
Partner type - US
Parnter no. - LSMW with the inbound parameters message type - MATMAS and Process code - MATM.
Please tell me how can I upload properly? Please don't ignore as i am asking same question again becasue I have gone through related threads also. But i didn't find the exact requirement.
proper documentation will be rewarded.
Thanks in Advance.

Kavita,
In CRM, Exchange Interface (XIF) ALE/IDOC is available to transfer master and transaction data. You can go through the following link for set up.
Basic Data exchange set up for ALE IDocs - Wiki - SCN Wiki
You can extend the standard XIF IDOCs using Transaction BDFg as well.

JDBC to IDoc ( error when mapping multiple JDBC records to IDoc)

Hi,
I am working on JDBC to IDoc scenario, I have declared row as 0 to unbounded and by default the IDoc structure is 1..1.
Inorder to map multiple rows from JDBC to get multiple IDoc's, I have changed the occurrence of IDoc in "Messages" tab of Message mapping to 0 to unbounded.
I have mapped "row" to "IDoc".
When I test the mapping, it works fine, giving the same number of IDoc's with that of row.
When I test end to end, in SXMB_MONI, it gives me following error:
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_RUNTIME</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>MSGGUID 54A3A64E895D48EC3F20C69FEFE2E82B: Tag found instead of tag IDOC BEGIN=</SAP:P1>
can any one help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.

Data Transfer Using ALE/IDOC

Dear All,
          I have to implement an ALE\IDOC scenario and i am totally new to this.I have a web based software from where i need to pull data into SAP.
           The moment billing takes place in my web based software i have to pull the required data and generate an accounting document number in SAP using transactions FB01 er FB60 and FB70 depending on vendor or customer Invoice which means i need to have my vendor and customer master data in place before this.The IDOC which i would be using is FIDCCP01.My question is:
The web based software can generate both an XML and EDI file into a domain from where SAP can fetch it. Now,
1. If they can generate an EDI file which format should it be in?
2.If EDI file generation is possible through that web based software its structure should be exactly the same as my IDOC structure right?
3. What would then be the process on SAP side to pick that   EDI file data?
4. Does the transaction WE16 help in picking up an XML file format or an EDI format and convert it automatically into an IDOC and how do we go about it?
5. Now when this idoc is going to generate accounting documents against those billing documents if the customer or vendor does not exist is there a way by which i can first create this vendor\customer in the master and then continue using some other abap tool?
6. Could an email be generated automatically when teh document is posted?
I know these are a lot of questions but i really need an answer to this.
If u have an answer my alternate email id is [email protected]
Awaiting your reply shortly.
Thanks & Regards,
Lailu Philip.

1. XML Format
2. Message type INVOIC01 or INVOIC02 format
3. You need to write a Z program to read data from that path and use FM IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE to convert that XML file to IDOC.
4. Use transaction we60 with above message type it will all help you need. we16 is for testing it could not be used for a solution.
5. In your Z program check before the XML is ubmitted for processing whether the customer exist by select on KNA1 if not use FM BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATE to create and same for vendor.
6. You need to implement workflow for this.....
Reward points it this helps
