XML structure of the request message

Question

Hi Experts,
I am working on synchronous scenario
.Net Appl ->SAP-XI -> SAP ECC
The request from .Net Application will consists of 6 fields.
A field : Mandatory
B field : Mandatory
C field : Mandatory  and should be able to read multiple line item
D field : Not Required and will be defaulted to 1
E field : Mandatory  if field F is not entered
F field : Mandatory  if field E is not enetred.
I have to create the WSDL file of the above request and provide it to .Net team. The field condition
will be done in the application level of the sender side.That means it is 1 to 1 mapping of the senders
request and receivers request.
Note : A, B, D are header items, rest are line items.
I have doubt on the following:
1. Would I have to create 1 parent node under which Header will be there  and all the line items will be under this header node.
2. What would be the cardinality of the header node , line item node and all other fields especially field C (1: unbounded).
Best Regards
Alice Rebecca

Hello,
1. Would I have to create 1 parent node under which Header will be there and all the line items will be under this header node.
Yes, you would need to create a parent node, but with regards to which line items will belong a which header, you need to consult with the sender.
2. What would be the cardinality of the header node , line item node and all other fields especially field C (1: unbounded).
Root
A (1..1) (mandatory)
B (1..1) (mandatory)
C (1..unbounded) (C belongs to which header?)
D (1..1) (defaults to 1)
E (0..1) (E belongs to which header?)
F (0..1) (F belongs to which header?)
Hope this helps,
Mark
