Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please try these transaction codes.
WE82 - Message Type and IDoc Type
WE64 - Process Codes (Inbound and Outbound) for Message Type.
Message type. A message type represents the application message exchanged between R/3 systems and R/3 and an external system. A message type characterizes the data sent across systems and relates to the structure of the data called an IDOC type (see below). For example, MATMAS is a message type for Material Master, and INVOIC is a message type for an Invoice (Billing Document). ALE supports over 200 message types in R/3 and about 200 application areas.
IDOC type and IDOC. An Intermediate Document (IDOC) type represents the structure of the data associated with a message type (DEBMAS02 for message type DEBMAS — Customer Master, and WMMBID02 for message type WMMBXY— Goods Movements), while an IDOC is an object containing the data of a particular message type. IDOCs are data containers with intelligence built in. Each IDOC contains one and only one business object. For example, an IDOC of type SHPMNT01, message type SHPMNT, will contain data only of one Shipment Document. Generally, the architecture of an IDOC is independent of the message type by virtue of ALE’s ability to redefine it for any message type.
Use transaction BD64 or the following menu path to maintain the model: From the IMG (Implementation Guide), Cross-Application Components -> Distribution (ALE) (*) -> Distribution Customer Model -> Maintain Distribution Customer Model Directly -> Maintain Distribution Customer Model Directly.
Thanks,
Sankar M

    Hi,
    Hi,
    i got this data from sdn .plz go thru might be helpful
    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:

    http://www.allsaplinks.com/idoc_search.html
    http://www.sapgenie.com/sapedi/idoc_abap.htm
    For creating a IDOC u need to Create a segment type in WE31.The internal table in which we store the data to be passed to the IDOc thos fielda are defined in fieldname and data element.Save and release the segment.
    Create IDOC type in WE30. Give min and max types. Mark it as mandatory.
    Create Message type in WE81.Assign it to a change request and save it.
    Link this message type with IDOC type in WE82.
    Then start your coding and pass the details of Data and control records.
    Just have a look at these links:

  • Any Idea Which Message type/Idoc Type should be used for FI Invoice

    Hi Experts,
    Any idea what message type/Idoc type should be used for FI invoice. We are going to send IDOC from R/3 to Non-SAP System using ALE. We are using T-codes FV60/FV65.
    Thanks,
    Sony

    Hi Sony,
    I never dealt with FI IDoc.
    I think you need to setup EDI outgoing payment in IMG. Please take look this report <b>RFFOALE1</b> - ALE Distribution of Payment Data and <b>RFFOEDI1</b> and check also the program documentation.
    Hope this will help.

  • Basic type, Idoc type, Message type

    hi,
    can anyone please explain me the exact difference between basic type, idoc type and message type...
    Thanks in advance,
    Krish

    Hi,
    Idoc Types and the Basic Types are the same which is provided by SAP Standard Idoc Names.This will have the releases like 01, 02 ,03
    And the Message type names will be the same as Idoc type name with out releases
    The combination of the message type & Idoc type will be------CREMAS.CREMAS03( Message type.Idoc type)
    Check this Screen for better clarity , and we added some extra Segments to the standard Idoc also, so thats why it has the Extension also

  • Outbound output type & Idoc type for MIRO (Invoice Posting)

    Hi Gurus,
    I have requirement like , I want to send the outbound IDoc to a external system containg the invoice detials after Saving in MIRO.
    I am not able to find any output type & Idoc type for the same.
    By going through varios threads , I found that there tell there is no Idoc type & output type for sending Idocs after MIRO.
    Kindlt let me know, if it so, or how this req can be fullfiled by other ways.
    Thanks
    Amresh

    Hi,
    Create Custom Idoc type with required fields,custom output type and assign it to partner profiles.(If there is no std idoc type or output type)
    Use Funtion module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE to generate Idocs while saving MIRO, for this you need to find exit or implement implicit enhancement while saving MIRO.
    Regards,
    Ashok.

  • Message type, Idoc type and process code in ALE/Idoc

    Each Idoc version(creams01 or cremas03) will have seperate process codes in Inbound process?
    Whether Message type triggers the process code or the Idoctype/idoc  triggers the process code in Inbound process?
    regards
    Message was edited by: henry

    Hi Henry,
    About your question as how should you assign seperate process code for the same message type ( with different IDoc Type )-
    In We42, the message type can be assigned to the processing code. But here you will find that along with message type there are two more fields - Message Code & Message Function.
    You can use any one these to serve your purpose.
    e.g. you can assign
    -process code P1 to message type M with Message code 1
    -process code P2 to message type M with Message code 2
    Further these process types can be configured to call separate FMs.
    Now depending on IDOC types your external system should populate the message type as well as Message code so that accordingly process code will be determined at the time of inbound processing.
    I hope it's clear & correct
    Thanks,
    Ram

  • Message type idoc type problems

    Hi,
    I'm facing a problem in idocs. I'm sending idocs with message type ORDRSP and idoc type ORDERS05, but for some reason in SAP, the idoc is always picking up a different message type ORDERS and the partner profile part is failing because my partner profile is set up for ORDRSP message type. Is there any setting or transaction that sets a default message type for an idoc type in SAP.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi vihay,
    yes for the message type ordrsp the basic type is orders05.
    u r telling ur geeting problem in inbound idoc?
    if that is the case then u have to use in we20 inbound parameters and give the processcode(ORDE) there instead of basictype .CHECK the same and get back to me if any quries

  • Relation between msg type & Idoc type

    i have a X msg type which is already assigned to Y idoc type.
    can I assign the same X msg type to a new Z Idoc type.
    If yes, what is the effect on the old assignment?
    note: Y & Z have no relation at all. both of then are two different Idoc types.

    Hi,
    it is a problem, If u assign a X message type to more than 1 message type, becuase message type is only identifier in the ALE or EDI configurations. Using this identifier u have to configure in the ALE or EDI.
    This is one-to-one relation between Message type and Idoc type.
    Reward me if it is ok.

  • Idoc types and message types

    Hi ,
    Anyone can send what are all the std idoc types and message types are there in SAP?
    Coz i dnt have SAP.
    Please let me know

    The IDoc type indicates the SAP format that is to be used to interpret the data of a business transaction.
    An IDoc type consists of the following components:
    ·       a control record
    This is identical for each IDoc type.
    ·       several data records
    One data record consists of a fixed key part and a variable data part. The data part is interpreted using segments, which differ depending on the IDoc type selected.
    ·       several status records
    These are identical for each IDoc type and describe the statuses an IDoc has already passed through or the status an IDoc has attained.
    You find various IDOC / Message types in SAP -
