What is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ?

what is the use of Framework Order type purchase order ? How it differs from other regular type?

Hi,
The document type of Framework Order is "FO" .The regular use of document type for purchase order is "NB".The use of "NB" and "FO" Document type in Purchase order to differentiate the how your material behave or to have different different purchasing document.
Example:Document type "NB" have to the process like Goods Receipt,inoice receipt & payment .In the case of Document type "FO" no Goods Receipt required but IR and payment have to be done."FO"(Framework Order) only deals with low value item with validity period as well as the limits on value/price.
Hope helpful to you and then reward.

What is the use of confirmation tab in Purchase order ?

what is the use of confirmation tab in Purchase order?

Hello Balaji
In Purchasing, the term Confirmation is an umbrella term for various kinds of information provided by a vendor to a customer with regard to ordered goods.
Possible types of confirmation include the following:
Order acknowledgments
Loading or transport confirmations
Shipping notifications. (Note that shipping notifications may also be referred to by a number of other names, including "advice (note)", "advice of dispatch", "ship notice", and "advance(d) shipping notice" ("ASN").)
A further form of confirmation frequently used in Purchasing is the Inbound Delivery, which is created on the basis of an incoming shipping notification. The shipping notification represents a vendors confirmation to a purchasing organization of a delivery date for a certain quantity of ordered materials (or the date of performance of ordered services).
You can enter incoming vendor confirmations manually. Alternatively, you can receive them via EDI and have them processed automatically.
When working with vendor confirmations, you have the following options:
You can enter the order acknowledgment number if you simply wish to provide a basis for monitoring the receipt or non-receipt of acknowledgments.
You should enter the confirmed quantities and delivery dates if you wish to provide more detailed information in support of the purchasing, inventory management, and materials planning/control functions within your enterprise.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use P type variable in ABAP?

ex:
data <variable name > type p decimals 2.
here what is the use of declaring it to p type.
what is the difference between p type and float type.

Hi,
using packed variable we can decide the length of number and number of decimals we want in o/p which is not possible with other types
Packed numbers - type P
Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.
Floating point numbers - type F
The value range of type F numbers is 1x10*-307 to 1x10*308 for positive and negative numbers, including 0 (zero). The accuracy range is approximately 15 decimals, depending on the floating point arithmetic of the hardware platform. Since type F data is internally converted to a binary system, rounding errors can occur. Although the ABAP processor tries to minimize these effects, you should not use type F data if high accuracy is required. Instead, use type P data.
You use type F fields when you need to cope with very large value ranges and rounding errors are not critical.
Using I and F fields for calculations is quicker than using P fields. Arithmetic operations using I and F fields are very similar to the actual machine code operations, while P fields require more support from the software. Nevertheless, you have to use type P data to meet accuracy or value range requirements.

What is the use and functionality of a message type

Hi,
I am new to abap. Can anybody tell me what is the use of the message type? What is it used for?
There is an interface which is using an extended idoc type ZFIDCCP02 (Basic Type FIDCCP02). This extended idoc type is used for other interfaces and the interface in question. However the other interfaces are using the standard message type FIDCC2, but the interface in question is using a customized message type.
Any idea what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance.
Mick

Hi Mick,
Message type tells the about the actual meaning of Idoc..
later if you want to send data to external system the idoc type or extension type is not used..
the message type is used for rest of the process..
Idoc type is know as structure..

What is the table for checking billing types assigned to sales orders

Hi Folks,
Good morning!
Could you please help me how to check the billing types assigned to sales documents.
What is the table to see billing types assigned to sales documents.
Regards,
Sarath

Hello Sarath,
As mentioned by Siva in the above the table name is TVAK but if you are a functional guy then you should go by the functional assignment.We are assigning the default billing type in Tcode= VOV8.
All sales document control you can find over here.
Needless to mention this Billing type you are assigning over here is auto proposed during billing in VF01. But you have option to choose another billing type in VF01 itself considering you have maintained the Copy Control for that.
Thanks,

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,

What is the use of NACE transaction in scripts?

hi
what is the use of NACE transaction in scripts?
bye

NACE is the transaction code where you can maintain the output types for the applications...
NACE - Initial Customizing Screen
where your going to attach the layout which u have designed to the particular output type - Specifies the kind of output to be produced.
The output type can specify, for example, a printed form that you need for internal use or a form that you want to send to a customer or vendor (for example, an order confirmation). The output type can also be an internal electronic mail message that you want to send to staff in another department.
print program - If you want to inform a partner about changes to output that was already issued, you enter the name of a program and a routine in the Form routine field.
The routine in the program checks which changes should result in a changed output being sent.

What is the use of t-rfc in ALE? compared to t-rfc, Qrfc is better and effi

what is the use of t-rfc in ALE? compared to t-rfc, Qrfc is better and efficient?

Hi Sunil,
These are the types of RFC
Asynchronous RFC (aRFC)
Synchronous RFC (sRFC)
Transactional RFC (tRFC)
Queued RFC (qRFC)
Parallel RFC (pRFC)
Asynchronous RFC :
This is used when you need to increase the performance of ABAP program by having system call more than one function module in parallel than forcing the program to wait for results .
Transactional RFC
This let you group one or more function module call together o tRFC LUW and ensure that fucnction module within LUW is called once . In contrast to aRFC and sRFC the tRFC belonging to tRFC LUW are executed in order .
tRFC is always used if a function is executed as a Logical Unit of Work (LUW). Within a LUW, all calls are
1.Executed in the order in which they are called
2.Executed in the same program context in the target system
3.Run as a single transaction: they are either committed or rolled back as a unit.
Implementation of tRFC is recommended if you want to guarantee that the transactional order of the calls is preserved
Asynchronous remote function calls (aRFCs) are similar to transactional RFCs, in that the user does not have to wait for their completion before continuing the calling dialog. There are three characteristics, however, that distinguish asynchronous RFCs from transactional RFCs:
When the caller starts an asynchronous RFC, the called server must be available to accept the request.
The parameters of asynchronous RFCs are not logged to the database, but sent directly to the server.
Asynchronous RFCs allow the user to carry on an interactive dialog with the remote system.
The calling program can receive results from the asynchronous RFC.
You can use asynchronous remote function calls whenever you need to establish communication with a remote system, but do not want to wait for the functions result before continuing processing. Asynchronous RFCs can also be sent to the same system. In this case, the system opens a new session (or window). You can then switch back and for between the calling dialog and the called session
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION Remotefunction is used within a FORM routine to receive the results of an asynchronous remote function call. The following receiving parameters are available:
IMPORTING
TABLES
EXCEPTIONS
The addition KEEPING TASK prevents an asynchronous connection from being closed after receiving the results of the processing. The relevant remote context (roll area) is kept for re-use until the caller terminates the connection.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.
Regards

What is the use of keyword SCAN ABAP-SOURCE

Hello experts,
what is the use of scan abap-source. please explain. what is tokens, statements, levels in that.

Hi
SCAN
This statement is for internal use only.
It cannot be used in application programs.
SCAN ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...TOKENS INTO itab2
 ...STATEMENTS INTO itab3.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Addition 1
... FROM n1
Addition 2
... TO n2
Breaks down the source code table itab1 into tokens not from start to finish, but only from line n1 to line n2.
The additions FROM n1 and TO n2 must, in this order, follow the specification of the source code table itab1.
When using the start specification n1, use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC to ensure that there are no unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC.
The end specification n2 is treated as "soft", i.e. a statement that begins on a line <= n2, but ends only on a line > n2, is returned completely.
If the end specification n2 is split in a chain statement, only the split part up to the next comma is returned completely, not the entire chain statement up to the next period.
Negative line specifications are not allowed and result in a runtime error.
A line specification of 0 amounts essentially to no specification.
If n1 number of lines in source code table, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).
If n1 > n2 and n2 > 0, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).

Addition 3
... KEYWORDS FROM itab4
Does not return all statements, only those specified in the key word table itab4.
If the key word table is empty (i.e. it contains 0 lines), all the statements are selected.
The lines of the key word table are treated as a character field.
To select a Native-SQL-statement or a macro definition, you can specify the pseudo key words EXEC_SQL or DEFINE_MACRO. It makes no difference whether the statements EXEC or DEFINE occur as well. Native SQL statements and macro definitions are returned as one statement (of type E or M even if the expansion of a macro definition results in more than one statement.
If the key word table contains a blank line, blank statements are also selected.
Addition 4
... LEVELS INTO itab5
Stores details about each edited source code unit (source code table itab1 itself, expanded include-programs, expanded macro definitions) in the level table itab5.
Specification of a level table makes sense only with the addition WITH INCLUDES.
The level table itab5 must have the structure SLEVEL.
The fields of the structure SLEVEL - and consequently the columns of the level table itab5 have the following meaning:
TYPE
Type of source code unit with the following possible values:
P (Program)
D (Internal DEFINE macro)
R (Macro from table TRMAC)
NAME
Name of source code unit (name of include program, macro name)
DEPTH
Current nesting depth of source code unit (>= 1)
LEVEL
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) source code unit in the level table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
STMNT
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) statement in the statement table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
FROM
Index of first statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
TO
Index of last statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
If the source code unit contains include programs or macro calls, the line range [ FROM, TO] in the statement table also covers the statements in subordinate source code units.
Addition 5
... STRUCTURES INTO itab6
Details of the construction of the source text table are given in the structure table itab6.
The structure table itab6 must have the structure SSTRUC.
The fields in SSTRUC (which are also the columns of structure table itab6) have the following meanings:
TYPE
Type of the structure with possible values:
P (Beginning of the source code)
R (Subroutine)
M (Macro, EXEC SQL)
I (Loop)
A (Case distinction)
C (Condition in a case distinction)
J (Goto command)
D (Structured declaration)
E (Event)
S (Follow-on from simple structured statement)
STMNT_TYPE
The statement type of the beginning of the structure. The values are listed in the type pool SCAN in structure SCAN_STRUC_STMNT_TYPE.
KEY_START
Flags whether the start of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise ' ').
KEY_END
Flags whether the end of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise blank).
STMNT_FROM
Index of the first statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
STMNT_TO
Index of the last statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
Index of the first substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
STRUC_TO
Index of the last substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
BACK
Index of the structure in the structure table itab6 that contains the structure as a substructure (0 if the structure is the root structure of a structure tree).
Addition 6
... OVERFLOW INTO c1
The addition is only allowed and required if the token table itab2 has the structure STOKEN or STOKEX.
If a token is too large to be stored in the token table in the field STR, it is placed in the overflow area c1. The offset of the token in the overflow area then lies in the token table in the field OFF1.
Addition 7
... WITH ANALYSIS
Breaks down each token t = a+b(c) according to the logic of the RSYN key word >ANALY into its three components a, b and c.
Offset and length of components a, b and c are stored in the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3, and LEN3 in the token table. (The offset of OFF1 is always 0 and therefore not required.)
If you specify the addition WITH ANALYSIS, the token table itab2 must have the structure STOKESX, so that the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3 and LEN3 are available.
If the token table has the structure STOKEX, you must consider the following:
If the whole token exists in the token table, the offset specifications are relative to the token start. If the token is in the overflow area c1, the offset specifications are relative to the start of the overflow area.
Addition 8
... WITH COMMENTS
Returns comments also, with each individual comment representing a token. The system additionally stores entries for each full block of comments in the table itab3, differentiating between comments that occur within statements and those that occur at program level. In itab3, an entry for a comment within a statement always comes before the statement containing the comment.
Example
Look at the following program fragment. The preceding numbers are the indexes of the tokens.
1 * An example *
2 * with scattered comments
6 MOVE
3 * Inserted comment 1
7 X
4 * Inserted comment 2
8 TO
9 Y
5 * Inserted comment 3
SCAN then enters the following values for the components TYPE, FROM and TO (in this order from left to right) into itab3.
'P' 1 2
'S' 3 5
'K' 6 9
If the addition ... WITH COMMENTS is used, the table itab2 must have the line type STOKES or STOKESX.
Addition 9
... WITH INCLUDES
Also breaks down subordinate source code units (included programs, called macros) into tokens.
You should normally combine the addition WITH INCLUDES with the addition LEVELS INTO itab5.
If (at least) one included program does not exist, SY-SUBRC is set to 1 and the relevant INCLUDE statement is flagged in the statement table itab3 by the statement type J (instead of I), but the breakdown process continues. The level table itab5 contains no entry for include-programs that do not exist.
If you combine WITH INCLUDES with WITHOUT TRMAC , TRMAC-Macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
When macro calls are expanded, no position specifications are available. The corresponding fields in the token table itab2 and the statement table itab3 are then set to 0.
Addition 10
... WITH TYPE-POOLS
This addition has the same effect as the WITH INCLUDES addition, except that with the former include programs belonging to type groups are broken down into tokens.
Addition 11
.. WITH LIST TOKENIZATION
Tokens of the form (a1, a2, a3) are not returned as tokens but broken down into the elementary components.
Addition 12
... WITHOUT TRMAC
If a statement begins neither with an ABAP/4 key word nor with a DEFINE macro, the system does not check whether this is a TRMAC macro, but assumes an unknown statement. (Unknown statements are flagged in the statement table itab3 with a U in the field TYPE.)
To avoid unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC, you should use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC whenever you assume that the source code to be scanned contains unknown statements. Unknown statements are particularly likely to occur if you use the addition FROM n1, because the scanner does not start at the beginning of the source code, but from a specified point.
If you use WITHOUT TRMAC with WITH INCLUDES, TRMAC macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
Addition 13
... PROGRAM FROM c2
Addition 14
... INCLUDE INTO c3
Addition 15
... MESSAGE INTO c4
Addition 16
... WORD INTO c5
Addition 17
... LINE INTO n3
Addition 18
... OFFSET INTO n4
The above additions have the same meaning as those for the
SYNTAX-CHECK: statement: c2 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, while the fields c3, c4, c5, n3 and n4 are output fields in case an error occurs.
To be able to analyze errors without modifying programs, use the additions INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET. These provide information about the errors which have occurred.
Variant 2
SCAN AND CHECK ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...RESULT INTO itab2.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Extras:
1. ... PROGRAM FROM c1 2. ... INCLUDE INTO c2
3. ... MESSAGE INTO c3
4. ... WORD INTO c4
5. ... LINE INTO n1
6. ... OFFSET INTO n2
The syntax of the program in table itab1 is checked. During the check, all of the information from the program, such as statement structures, statements, tokens, data objects, types and do on are placed into the result field. This field must have the type SYSCH_RESULT, which is defined in type group SYSCH. You must therefore declare type group SYSCH in your ABAP-program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
&ABAP_ADDITION _1&
... PROGRAM FROM c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _2&
... INCLUDE INTO c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _3&
... MESSAGE INTO c3
&ABAP_ADDITION _4&
... WORD INTO c4
&ABAP_ADDITION _5&
... LINE INTO n1
&ABAP_ADDITION _6&
... OFFSET INTO n2
The above additions have the same effect as the corresponding additions in the statement SYNTAX-CHECK: c1 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, the fields c2, c3, c4, n1 and n2 are output fields, used when errors occur.
To enable you to analyze errors without having to modify the program, you should specify the INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET additions for the information about the error that occurred.

What is the use of inverted date format

In table TCURR - Exchange rates, the field GDATU - Date As of Which the Exchange Rate Is Effective is stored as an inverted date. So 01/01/2008 is actually stored as 79919898.
What is the use of inverted dates. Why does SAP use them. Why not just use normal date format? If I want the latest record from the table, instead of sorting by descending, I actually have to sort by ascending because the date is stored in inverted format.

Hi,
Inverted date is a old concept which helps in soring the dates sometimes. but now ASCENDING and DESCENDING sorting is more easy and quick. Check this application help. maybe useful for you
1. CONVERT DATE f1 INTO INVERTED-DATE f2.
2. CONVERT INVERTED-DATE f1 INTO DATE f2.
Effect
Calculates the nine's complement of the internal date format (YYYYMMDD - for more information about internal display, meaning and initial values of types, see TYPES) and places it in the field f2. For example, 19950511 becomes 80049488 and 80049488 becomes 19950511.
In the inverse date format, the most recent date has the numerically smallest value. You can make use of this effect when sorting dates.
Note
The technique of manipulating the sort sequence of dates by inverting the internal date format is now rarely used. You can sort internal tables in order of ascending or descending date values much more efficiently using the ... ASCENDING or ... DESCENDING additions to the SORT statement.
Example
DATA DATE_INV LIKE SY-DATUM.
CONVERT DATE SY-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DATE_INV.
Suppose, for example, SY-DATUM contains the date 11.05.1995 in its internal format 19950511. After execution of the CONVERT statement, DATE_INV would contain the internal format 80049488.

What is the use of change pointer concept in ale?

what is the use of change pointer concept in ale?
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 6, 2008 5:10 PM

ALE Architecture:
It consists of an Outbound process, an Inbound process, and an Exception Handling process.
Outbound Process:
ALE Outbound Process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP Systems. It involves four steps.
1. Identify the need of IDoc: This step starts upon creating a application document, can relate to a change to a master data object.
2. Generate the Master IDoc: The document or master data to be sent is read from the database and formatted into an IDoc format. This IDoc is called as a Master IDoc.
3. Generate the Communication IDoc: The ALE Service layer generates a separate IDoc from the Master IDoc for each recipient who is interested in the data. Separate IDocs are generated because each recipient might demand a different version or a subset of the Master IDoc. These recipient-specific IDocs are called Communication IDocs and are stored in the database.
4. Deliver the Communication IDoc: The IDoc is delivered to the recipients using an asynchronous communication method. This allows the sending system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receiver or process the IDoc.
Inbound Process:
The inbound process receives an IDoc and creates a document in the system.
1. Store the IDoc in the database: The IDoc is received from the sending system and stored in the database. Then the IDoc goes through a basic integrity check and syntax check.
2. Invoke the Posting Module: The control information in the IDoc and configuration tables are read to determine the posting program. The IDoc is then transferred to its posting program.
3. Create the Document: The posting program reads the IDoc data and then creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the IDoc.
Over view of IDocs:
IDoc is a container that is used to exchange data between any two processes. The document represented in an IDoc is independent of the complex structure SAP uses to store application data. This type of flexibility enables SAP to rearrange its internal structure without affecting the existing interface.
IDoc interface represents an IDoc Type or IDoc data. IDoc Type represents IDocs definition and IDoc Data is an instance of the IDoc Type.
IDoc Types:
IDoc type structure can consist of several segments, and each segment can consist of several data fields. The IDoc structure defines the syntax of the data by specifying a list of permitted segments and arrangement of the segments. Segments define a set of fields and their format.
An IDoc is an instance of an IDoc Type and consists of three types of records.
i. One Control record: each IDoc has only one control record. The control record contains all the control information about an IDoc, including the IDoc number, the sender and recipient information, and information such as the message type it represents and IDoc type. The control record structure is same for all IDocs.
ii. One or Many Data records: An IDoc can have multiple data records, as defined by the IDoc structure. Segments translate into data records, which store application data, such as purchase order header information and purchase order detail lines.
iii. One or Many Status records: An IDoc can have multiple status records. Status record helps to determine whether an IDoc has any error.
Message in IDoc Type:
A Message represents a specific type of document transmitted between two partners.
Outbound Process in IDocs:
Outbound process used the following components to generate an IDoc. A customer model, and IDoc structure, selection programs, filter objects, conversion rules, a port definition, an RFC destination, a partner profile, service programs, and configuration tables.
The Customer Model:
A customer model is used to model a distribution scenario. In a customer model, you identify the systems involved in a distribution scenario and the message exchanged between the systems.
Message control:
Message control is a cross application technology used in pricing, account determination, material determination, and output determination. The output determination technique of Message control triggers the ALE for a business document. Message control separates the logic of generating IDocs from the application logic.
Change Pointers:
The change pointers technique is based on the change document technique, which tracks changes made to key documents in SAP, such as the material master, customer master and sales order.
Changes made to a document are recorded in the change document header table CDHDR, and additional change pointers are written in the BDCP table for the changes relevant to ALE.
IDoc Structure:
A message is defined for data that is exchanged between two systems. The message type is based on one or more IDoc structures.
Selection Program:
Is typically implemented as function modules, are designed to extract application data and create a master IDoc. A selection program exists for each message type. A selection programs design depends on the triggering mechanism used in the process.
Filter Objects;
Filter Objects remove unwanted data for each recipient of the data basing on the recipients requirement.
Port Definition:
A port is used in an outbound process to define the medium in which documents are transferred to the destination system. ALE used a Transactional RFC port, which transfers data in memory buffers.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination is a logical name used to define the characteristics of a communication link to a remote system on which a function needs to be executed.
Partner Profile:
A partner profile specifies the components used in an outbound process(logical name of the remote SAP system, IDoc Type, message type, TRFC port), an IDocs packet size, the mode in which the process sends an IDoc (batch versus immediate), and the person to be notified in case of error.
Service Programs and Configuration Tables:
The outbound process, being asynchronous, is essentially a sequence of several processes that work together. SAP provides service programs and configuration tables to link these programs and provide customizing options for an outbound process.
Creation of IDoc:
Basic Type:
Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
