How to tranfer IDOC and BAPI through LSMW

Hi friends,
I need documents regarding processing of IDOC and BAPi through LSMW,
Thanks In advance,

Hi
LSMW-BAPI
Step-by-Step Guide for using BAPI in LSMW
Note! The screen prints in this article are from ECC 5.0. They may differ slightly in other versions.
Introduction:
This document details the usage of BAPI in LSMW. We have used the example of migration of the purchase order data into SAP.
Pre-requisites:
It is assumed that the reader of this article has the minimum knowledge required on the Business Object, BAPI, Message Types and IDoc Types.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Details of the BAPI used in this scenario:
Business Object: BUS2012
Method: CreateFromData
Details of Message Type and Basic IDoc Type:
Message Type: PORDCR
Basic IDoc Type: PORDCR02
Lets have a look at the BAPI first, before proceeding to the LSMW:
1. Go to Transaction BAPI
2. Click on Search Button
3. Enter the value BUS2012 and select Obj.type(Technical Object Name
4. Press ENTER
5. Following screen appears:
6. On the left side of the screen, Expand the PurchaseOrder.
7. Select PurchaseOrder and double-click on the same for details.
Building LSMW using BAPI:
1. Go to Transaction LSMW.
2. Enter the Project, Subproject and Object information and click on CREATE.
3. Enter the descriptions for Project, Subproject and Object.
4. Now select Settings à IDoc Inbound Processing
5. IDoc Inbound Processing screen appears. Enter the required details as shown below:
6. Click on Activate IDoc Inbound Processing.
7. Click on Yes when prompted for Activate IDoc Inbound?
8. Hit on Back to return to the main screen.
9. Click on Continue (F8). Following Screen appears:
10. Select the Step 1 Maintain Object Attributes and select Execute.
11. Select the radio button Business Object Method and enter the following details:
Business Object: BUS2012
Method: CreateFromData
Hit ENTER
12. Save and click on BACK button. Following information message is displayed.
13. Now select step 2 Maintain Source Structures and click Execute.
14. In this step, we need to maintain the source structure. In our example, lets consider the example of a file with 2 structures Head and Item data as shown below:
Click on Create and name the source structure as HEADERDATA. Now select HEADERDATA and click on Create again to create the child structure. Following popup appears:
Select Lower Level and click on Continue. Enter the Item data structure name.
Click Save and hit BACK button to go to the main screen.
15. Select step 3 Maintain Source Fields and hit execute.
16. Enter the fields as shown below:
17. Click SAVE and return to main screen.
18. Select step 4 Maintain Structure Relations and click Execute.
Select E1PORDCR and click on CREATE RelationShip. Following screen appears:
Select HEADERDATA and hit ENTER
Similarly do the same for the structure E1BPEKKOA, E1BPEKPOC and E1BPPEKET.
Click Save and return to main screen.
19. Select the step Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules and click on execute. Maintain the Field Mapping as seen below:
20. Select step 7 Maintain Source Files and provide the link for the test file created. (Create a test file with the same structure as defined earlier).
Save and return to main screen.
21. Select the step Assign Files and click on Execute.
Assign the file provided to the source structure. Here the same file is provided for both the structures.
Save and return to the main screen.
22. Select the step Read Data and click on Execute.
Click on Execute.
Return to the main screen.
23. Select the step Display read data and click on execute.
Click on the structure name to get the field level values.
24. Return to main screen and now select Convert Data.
25. Return to the main screen and select Display Converted data.
26. Return to main screen and select Start IDoc generation.
27. Now select the step Start IDoc Processing on the main screen.
28. Return to main screen and click on Create IDoc overview. Here the data record and status records of the IDoc could be viewed
It is given in screen shot.

The BAPIs Create() and CreateFromData() create an instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. These BAPIs are class methods.
Change( )
The BAPI Change() changes an existing instance of an SAP business object type, for example, a purchase order. The BAPI Change () is an instance method.
Delete( ) and Undelete( ) The BAPI Delete() deletes an instance of an SAP business object type from the database or sets a deletion flag.
The BAPI Undelete() removes a deletion flag. These BAPIs are instance methods.
Cancel ( ) Unlike the BAPI Delete(), the BAPI Cancel() cancels an instance of a business object type. The instance to be cancelled remains in the database and an additional instance is created and this is the one that is actually canceled. The Cancel() BAPI is an instance method.
Add<subobject> ( ) and Remove<subobject> ( ) The BAPI Add<subobject> adds a subobject to an existing object inst! ance and the BAPI and Remove<subobject> removes a subobject from an object instance. These BAPIs are instance methods.

Bdc to Bapi
The steps to be followed are :
1. Find out the relevant BAPI (BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE for VA02).
for VA01 use BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
2. Create a Z program and call the BAPi (same as a Funtion module call).
2. Now, if you see this BAPi, it has
-> Importing structures.
eg: SALESDOCUMENT: this will take the Sales order header data as input.
-> Tables parameters:
eg: ORDER_ITEM_IN: this will take the line item data as input.
Note :
Only specify fields that should be changed
Select these fields by entering an X in the checkboxes
Enter a U in the UPDATEFLAG field
Always specify key fields when changing the data, including in the checkboxes
The configuration is an exception here. If this needs to be changed, you need to complete it again fully.
Maintain quantities and dates in the schedule line data
Possible UPDATEFLAGS:
U = change
D = delete
I = add
Example
1. Delete the whole order
2. Delete order items
3. Change the order
4. Change the configuration
Notes
1. Minimum entry:
You must enter the order number in the SALESDOCUMENT structure.
You must always enter key fields for changes.
You must always specify the update indicator in the ORDER_HEADER_INX.
2. Commit control:
The BAPI does not run a database Commit, which means that the application must trigger the Commit so that the changes are read to the database. To do this, use the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT BAPI.
For further details... refer to the Function Module documentation for the BAPi.
Bapi to VB(Visual Basic)
Long back I had used the following flow structure to acheive the same.
Report -> SM59 RFC destination -> COM4ABAP -> VB.exe
my report uses the rfc destination to create a COM session with com4abap. com4abap calls the vb.exe and manages the flow of data between sap and vb exe.
You need to have com4abap.exe
If com4abap is installed you will find it in sapgui installatin directory , C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui\RFCSDK\com4abap.
else refer OSS note 419822 for installation of com4abap
after making the settings in com4abap to point to the vb program and setting up rfc destination in sm59 to point to com4abap session , you can use the following function modules to call the vb code.
for setting up com4abap and rfc destination please refer to the documentation for com4abap.
Invoke NEW DCOM session
call function 'BEGIN_COM_SESSION'
exporting
service_dest = service_dest "(this will be a RFC destination created in SM59)
importing
worker_dest = worker_dest
exceptions
connect_to_dcom_service_failed = 1
connect_to_dcom_worker_failed = 2
others = 3.
call function 'create_com_instance' destination worker_dest
exporting
clsid = g_c_clsid
typelib = g_c_typelib
importing
instid = g_f_oid
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
call function 'com_invoke' destination worker_dest
exporting
%instid = g_f_oid

%return = g_t_pdfdetail1 "t_test
exceptions
communication_failure = 1 message g_f_msg
system_failure = 2 message g_f_msg
invalid_instance_id = 3
others = 4.
then close the com session , using
FM delete_com_instance
FM END_COM_SESSION

Different between ALE, IDOC and BAPI?

Hi Folks,
What is the different between ALE, IDOC and BAPI? and send me the following steps?
Thanks in advance.
Siva

Hi,
please read the below lines.
ALE
ALE is SAP proprietary technology that enables data communications between two or more SAP R/3 systems and/or R/3 and external systems. When a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution such as R/3 is implemented, companies have to interface the ERP system with legacy systems or other ERP systems.
ALE provides intelligent mechanisms where by clients can achieve integration as well as distribution of applications and data.
ALE technology facilitates rapid application prototyping and application interface development, thus reducing implementation time.
The ALE components are inherently integrated with SAP applications and are robust, leading to a highly reliable system.
ALE comes with application distribution/integration scenarios as well as a set of tools, programs, data definitions, and methodologies that you can easily configure to get an interface up and running.
BAPI
BAPIs provide a stable, standardized method for third-party applications and components to integrate into the Business Framework. These interfaces are being specified as part of SAP's initiative with customers, partners and leading standards organizations. Also, SAP has implemented the emerging Object Application Group (OAG) specifications with BAPIs.
Pros and Cons for both BAPI and Call Transaction
BAPI
One of the big plusses for BAPIs is that the interface and function are not supposed to change. This is a big plus when you do upgrades or hot packs because the transaction can change (format, required inputs etc) which means you then need to update the call transaction.
Some of the BAPIs are better documented and easier to use than others.
You usually need to perform the BAPI that actually does the COMMIT after you call your BAPI.
The Program coding for calling a BAPI is usually cleaner than setting up the screen flow etc for the Call Transaction.
You don't need to worry about special data circumstances interrupting the normal data flow of the screens and causing errors because of that.
BAPIs probably have better performance since they don't do the screen flow processing.
In general if the BAPI exists for the transaction you want to perform and you can figure out how to use it the BAPI is probably the best way to go.
This is just from my experience working with both BAPI and Call Transaction. I have had some very good successes with BAPIs, but very occasionally found that I could not get the BAPI to perform the update I needed.
Regards,
Anki Reddy.

Idocs and BAPIs

Hello,
Could you tell me please what are the standard Idocs and Standard Bapis available.
If possible could you tell me why do we use those standard Idocs and Bapis.
Thank you

Doubt on IDoc and BAPI

Hi Experts,
I doing Idoc to file scenario, my question is when we go ahead to use IDOC or BAPI. please give me some basic understanding of when and how you use IDoc?
When to use BAPI?
Please provide some links of document
Regards,
Venkatesh

Hi,
when u want asynchronous communication u have to use IDOCS
when u want to use synchrnous communciation and want to communicate external langauges u have to use BAPIS
For File to IDOC,
in R/3
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using we21
4.create partner profile using we20
in xi
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using IDX!
for IDOC to FIle
R/3 side
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using we21
4.create partner profile using we20
5.distribute busynessmodel using bd64
for xi side
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using IDX!
4.create partner profile using we20

Idoc and bapi

hi gurus,
what is the difference between bapi and idoc?

Hi,
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.
how to create idoc?
*WE30 - you can create a IDOC type
For more information in details on the same along with the examples can be viewed on:

BAPI
BAPI stands for Business API(Application Program Interface).
A BAPI is remotely enabled function module
ie it can be invoked from remote programs like standalone JAVA programs, web interface etc..
You can make your function module remotely enabled in attributes of Function module but
A BAPI are standard SAP function modules provided by SAP for remote access.
Also they are part of Businees Objest Repository(BOR).
BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. 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.

IDOC and BAPI issue

Hi Experts,
I am using an idoc which is internally calling a BAPI - BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
I need to pass data custom fields from idoc to bapi BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST .
For this in the change method of the BADI BADI_ACC_DOCUMENT, I have written the code.
The BAPI has extension2 defined in it.
The inbound idoc has a segment E1BPPAREX which has the contents like this:
STRUCTURE
VALUEPART1
VALUEPART2
VALUEPART3
VALUEPART4
How to fill the data to see whether my Zfields are getting passed?
The code in the change method of the BADI is:
DATA: WA_EXTENSION TYPE BAPIPAREX,
           WA_ACCIT TYPE ACCIT,
           EXT_VALUE TYPE C LENGTH 960,
           L_TABIX TYPE SY-TABIX.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <L_STRUC> TYPE ANY,
                               <L_FIELD> TYPE ANY.
DATA: L_REF TYPE REF TO TE_STRUC.
SORT C_EXTENSION2 BY STRUCTURE.
LOOP AT C_EXTENSION2 INTO WA_EXTENSION.
    AT NEW STRUCTURE.
      CREATE DATA L_REF TYPE (WA_EXTENSION-STRUCTURE).
      ASSIGN L_REF TO <L_STRUC>.
    ENDAT.
    CONCATENATE WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART1 WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART2
                WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART3 WA_EXTENSION-VALUEPART4
       INTO EXT_VALUE.
    MOVE EXT_VALUE TO <L_STRUC>.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'ITEMNO_ACC' OF STRUCTURE <L_STRUC> TO <L_FIELD>.
    CLEAR: WA_ACCIT.
    READ TABLE C_ACCIT WITH KEY POSNR = <L_FIELD> INTO WA_ACCIT.
    IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
      L_TABIX = SY-TABIX.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING <L_STRUC> TO WA_ACCIT.
      MODIFY C_ACCIT FROM WA_ACCIT INDEX L_TABIX TRANSPORTING ZZPRDCD
                                                              ZZXXX
                                                               ZZXXX.
                                                                 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
where ZZXXX is my custom fields.
Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi,
I donu2019t know , if I understand ur issue correctly or not.
You wanna know whether ur zfield in the extension idoc are getting fiiled thru Bapi or not?
Just go to WE19 and give any Existing idoc number realted to Document posting and fill the Extended segments with your data and execute. Befor this put a break-point in ur badi implemantation and check it.
Revrt back if any issues.

Naveen

IDOC and BAPI interfaces.

Hi SAP experts,
Can anydody please help me out regarding the SAP interfaces e.g. IDOC, BAPI if any other,,,,,,,,,,
Please give me some examples also.
Thanks & regards
Amar Adam

Hi Reddy,
Very general question, I don't think you will find the answer in one document.
BAPIs are normal function modules, with predefined input and output structures to perform standard business transactions.
IDOCs are standardised interface documents to transfer data.
Once the IDOC is read, it almost always calls a BAPI to perform the business transaction.
Therefore start with reading about BAPIs since you will definately have to master those when starting to work on interfaces.
There are hundreds of BAPIs so best is to start with a specific process, example sales order create or material master create.
Try transaction BAPI, this lists most of the BAPIs and contains excellent documentation.
Thanks for your points,
Filip

SAP ERP 6 system and compatibility with BW systems.

Hi All,
An upgrade to a ECC 6.0 system form 4.6C or 4.7 system is fine. But however, in an integrated environment - the 4.6C system is usually integrated with other SAP Products as well.
The question I have is is a ECC 6.0 system compatible with BW 3.5 or lower versions of BW - i.e. when I upgrade my system to an ECC 6.0 system can these systems still talk in between themselves, or I have to plan a upgrade for this?
If the answer is yes - is it mentioned in any SAP Note/ Website or Document as because I also need an artifact to support the answer.
Thanks, Dibya

Hi Dibya
the component lists (from service.sap.com/scl) document for each release, which product instance is needed for which process (i.e. ECC and NW - BI). This source includes information about old releases as well, but not about mixtures between releases.
In the Upgrade Dependency Analyser will you find information about these mixtures (see for instance: SAP Network Blog: New Tool for Planning Your Upgrade: The Upgrade Dependency Analyzer : New Tool for Planning Your Upgrade: The Upgrade Dependency Analyzer)

Relative values and compatibility with CSS

Hi!
Indd is pompously touted as a multiplatform program for publication, but whether the ability to input relative units is not a basis for such a task?
1. What is the chance to enter into InDesign-values relative? eg for the character style of 50% of paragraph style, or 80% leadnig etc?
2. A good solution in many ways seems to adapt to standard CSS. Is it possible in this application and others in the CC?
Best Regards!

How to trigger automatically an IDOC and RFC from SAP R/3 system?

Hi ,
lets say if we are implementing IDOC to FILE &RFC to FILE scenario ,how can we trigger on timely basis(schedules)
1)standard IDOCs and BAPIs?
2)customized Idocs and Customized Bapis?
3)Master Idocs and transactiona Idocs?I think we need to use change pointers for master Idocs and donno about Transactional Idocs.
please explain ,
thank you very much for your help.
regards,
Babu

sorryfor the late reply, I was busy with my work.thank you for your posts.
so all of you say just run the RSEOUT00 no matter what interface we use in XI like Master ,transactional Idocs,standard or customized BAPIs?
And I think we use RSNASTED if we have on recieving side right?
<b>then when we would use a report of format below to trigger an RFC,is this format for Asunc RFC ?</b>
REPORT Z_SEND_DATA_TO_XI.
parameters: dest like rfcdes-rfcdest default '(RFC Destination you defined in SM59)'.
<<your other variable declaration and ABAP Code here>>
call function 'ZXI_SEND_DATA'
in background task
destination dest
exporting
Name = John
City = Smith. (The values to pass to XI)
commit work.
<<Any Write statements or sy-subrc statements here>>
6) Save and Activate your ABAP program.
6) After all these steps, execute your ABAP Program to send the data to file via XI.
