Single IDOC to Multiple Interface Mapping

Question

We have a requirement in our project where one masterdata IDOC will be sent from a SAP MDM box and will be transformed to a target IDOC and be sent to an SAP SNC box. However, the scenario is that depending on the contents of the IDOC, there can be multiple IDOCs that need to be created. For example, the single MDM IDOC has V1, V2 and V3 values then the IDOCS that should be sent to the SAP SNC box should be three.
The IT head of the customer decided against using Enhanced Interface Determination (since the problem can be easily solved using a 1:n mapping) due to the complexity especially when the solution is rolled out to other regions as each region has it's own logic (currently, the other implementation has only 1:1 mapping so there is no problem). I had developed a 1:n mapping but the resulting map is too big and very complex.
What I tried to do is to create separate mappings for each scenario that an IDOC needs to be generated out of the values from the received IDOC in XI and then define rules in the Interface Determination. Problem is that XI throws an error stating that multiple interfaces are found. So I cannot use Interface Determination to trigger creation of multiple IDOCS of the same type with different values from a single IDOC sent by the same SAP box.
Question is, is there any way to solve this requirement without using Enhanced Receiver Determination. I was thinking of BPM but not really sure how to do it.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for that.
For example, We have this input Message:
<ZMATMA>
  <IDOC>
    <E1MARAM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>IT</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>CS</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>SW</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
    </E1MARAM>
  </IDOC>
</ZMATMA>
then there should be an output of:
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
  <IDOC>
    <BUOM>IT</BUOM>
  </IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
  <IDOC>
    <BUOM>CS</BUOM>
  </IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
  <IDOC>
    <BUOM>SW</BUOM>
  </IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
The logic is when the MEINH field of the ZMATMA02 IDOC has the values: IT, CS and SW, create one IDOC for each.
Thanks in advance!
