Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0 - IDoc structure?

Hi All,
what has to be considered in regards to standard idocs (structure) when upgrading from 4.6 to ECC 6.0.
Which IDocs are changing during upgrade and to what extent?
Are all Idocs downward compatible and will work as usual after upgrade?
Thanks and Regards
Tim.

Hi Tim,
Regarding your IDOC problem related to Upgrade, it may create some problem. The reason is that once you get the cutomized IDOC structure in ecc 6.0 and you want to modify it for the change in the length of fields, the system will not allow you to do this bcoz system will raise a message that it has been released in the earlier version.
Therefore I suggest that you may add new segments and incorporate the changes to the filed length and modify the interface programs accordingly.
Hope it answers your query. If you have specific query then you may send me the query on [email protected]
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

    Hi,
    basically you focus on ECC 6 has new gl ledger concept which is different for 4.7
    version in the folloiwng manner & Tax structure also. In ecc6.0 its different form 4.7.
    1. It enables Business area posting - Segment reporting  made easy
    2. Profit centre accounting is through new GL
    3. Split of entry to post assets and liabilities to  respective profit centres. (Balance sheet items)
    4. Enables commitment of FM

    I am trying to understand if the following interface options can occur (without the use of SAP PI or any other middleware):

    Hello Kirk  ,
    The answers for your question are:
    Option 1A: Yes you can .you can use TCP/IP but you must have a middleware component for that such as BC/JCO .
    Please see the link : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/09/c88442a07b0e53e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]

  • Recommandations for upgrading from 46C to ECC 6.0

    Hello
    Our SAP system landscape is actually in 46c and is only composed of 3 servers with almost 40 users declared (25 actives) on production system. Modules FI/CO HR MM are actually implemented.
    We plan to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0 between March and August of 2009. The evaluation of the upgrade should begin as soon as possible. Do you think it can be possible to realise the upgrade alone, without the help and expertise of a SAP consultant? Do you think the delay for preparing the upgrade is suffisant?
    Thank you.

    As suggested earlier, refer to Master and technological guides for reference.
    also for information, the upgrade can fall under any below scenarios.
    1. Strategic Business Improvement
    Focus on functionality extension and improvement
    Enablement of new and optimized business processes and scenarios based on new ERP core functionality
    2. Functional/Retrofit Upgrade
    New functionality to be implemented as part of the upgrade, modification clearing
    Focus on reduction of system complexity
    3. Technical Upgrade
    Focus on pure technology upgrade
    Retain functionality used
    Review Usage of custom developments
    As per the requirement.  knowledge and experience the decision can be made.

  • Upgrade from 46c to ECC

    Hi,
    Can you please explain me the complete procedure to be followed and precautions to be taken for upgrading SPAU(program,func groups,data elements,tables,structures, etc) objects, SPDD objects and custom objects(programs,func grps etc..) from 4.6c to ECC version.
    Thanks,
    Laks.

    Hi ,
            The Precautions are .
    1 .SPDD transaction should be executed 14 days before the upgrade .
    2 .SPAU transcation should be executed after the Upgrade.
    3 .Maximum error in SPAU can be resolved using Basis and Function Consultant support .
    4 Maximum errors are in BDC,Sapscript ,Userexits which deal with standrad transaction .
    5 .Also take care about The Unicode errors.
    6 .For Unicode Use Transaction UCCHECK and SCOV.
    Please reward if useful .

  • SAP Security Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0

    Hello Gurus,
    we are upgrading our systems to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C.
    in SU25 step, do i need to manually go into every role and find the differences in Field values ?
    there are more than 2500 roles and its becoming tedious task.
    Is there any easy or other procedure available for the same ?
    Regards,
    Chaitanya

    There are many tricks you can use to shave a role upgrade down to about 2 day's work, but day 1 is during the implementation design way back when to consider upgrades much later on...
    Just knowing that you have 18k roles and 2500 turned red in step 2a is not enough infos to give you any efficient advice (I am not talking about your time... ;-).
    What is however obvious is that between 2a and 2c there is 2... ah...?!?! That is your next closest catalyst, but dont hit the "accept SAP data" button unless you have not done any changes in SU24!
    Some other key figures for upgrades are:
    - Number of roles with distinctly different menus.
    - Number of changed auths which are not copies.
    - Number of manual auths needing manual adjustments.
    - Obsolete and disabled objects.
    - Security patches for unnoticed missing auth-checks.
    - Cut-over, development freeze and parallel maintenance time period.

  • Create employees in ECC-HR by IDOcs?

    Can we create employees in ECC-HR by IDOcs?

    Looks like latest EHP installer concentrate more on downtime minimize strategy.  We have only 3 options available as follows.
    1. Standard resource use
    2. High resource use
    3. Manual selection

  • IDOC structure for HRMD_A07

    Dear All,
    We want to create IDOC HRMD_A07 through SAP PI in ECC to create employee.
    Please guide how we can get the output structure like
    e1plogi
    e1pityp
    e1p0000
    e1pityp
    e1p0001
    e1pityp
    e1p0002
    Whereas the standard IDOC structure is like as follows:
    e1plogi
    e1pityp
    e1p0000
    e1p0001
    e1p0002
    Reg,
    NJ

    Well, u can still create IDoc with the required structure. Thre is a test tool (tcode WE19) where u can create and populte the segments as u want for testing. Use the 'Create' button and place it in proper hierarchy.

  • The XI does not send messages with correct IDOC structure

    SAP XI 3.0 sends to ECC IDOC HRMD_A07 
    The XI does not send messages with correct IDOC structure.
    In XI Design, Software Component RHEVOLU, I’ve imported the Objects
    HRMD_A.HRMD_A07 from SAP ECC; In Tools -> Export Reduced XSD, I saved
    HRMD_A.HRMD_A07.xsd in Namespace http://suezambiental.com.br/HR . At
    Message Mapping -> mmAdmissao, in Imported Message -> Import XML or
    XSD, I imported the reduced Idoc file generated above, mapping source
    fields to target fields.
    The IDOC sent from XI to ECC has this structure (template: 22122)
    E1PLOGI
    E1PORIG
    E1PITYP
    E1P0000
    E1P0001
    E1P0002
    Status 53 -HR: ALE inbound processing for HR master data
    But does not update HR Master data.
    The structure expected in ECC side (template: 20376) is:
    E1PLOGI
    E1PORIG
    E1PITYP
    E1P0000
    E1PITYP
    E1P0001
    E1PITYP
    E1P0002
    Status 53 -HR: ALE inbound processing for HR master data
    By using WE19 transaction, this structure was changed manually; so, the
    HR Master data was updated.
    Witch kind of customizing or correction could be made in XI, to send
    the correct structure to ECC?
    Best Regards
    Claudio

    Hi Claudio,
    In your case, there are perhaps two causes:
    1. perhaps when you have import the idoc, for a strange reason, a bad metadata was created by XI. You can clean this one in tcode <b>IDX2</b> (Idoc metadata cache).
    2. but it's also probably an error in your Message Mapping. Have you correctly manage segment E1PITYP?

  • Download IDOC structure from SAP web Site

    HI
    to anticipate the SAP ERp upgrade, i would like to download the most up to date Idoc structure (for ADRMAS and DEBMAS) . Instead of download this structure from an SAP Instance , i would like to download it from SAP Web site.
    Does anybody already do that ?
    How can i proceed
    regards
    fred

    Hi Siva
    Thanks for your input. I Know and i did that from a couple of years , neverthelss, each time you upgarde your system, you have to rewrite your development. My goal is to try to anticipate that by for exemple download the IDOC structure in advance . Let me say IDOC structure used by MySAP ERp 2007 instaed of SAP ERP 4.6. If i can download those STructure i will not be obliged to rewrite my Dev after each upgrade. Do you see what i mean ?

  • IDOC structure in F4 Help

    Hey Guys
    I m developing a search functionality where i need to search the message payload based upon a certain value in IDOC(it could be IDOC number,IDOC type,creation date etc etc).
