IDoc Set Release

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:28:45 GMT

Hi All,

1. I have created Segment in WE31, Basic type in WE30. If I do (Edit -> Set Release) then can I add new fields later on into that segment and in effect will it be included in Basic type?

2. I have created Message type in WE81 and attached it with Basic type in WE82. What need to be given in 'Extension' field. Please explain with details as I didn't understand after pressing 'F4' there.

3. For Outbound IDoc I need to write a Report(with 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' function module) or only Function Module will serve the purpose?

a. If Function Module then, please specify will it be a RFC enabled Function Module (BAPI) or simple (without RFC)? Please provide the code if possible.

Thanks & Regards,

Anindita

1. No, once u set release u canu2019t add fields later and it will not effect basic type.

2. It is optional. Combined with an IDoc type from the SAP standard version (a basic type) to create a new, upwardly-compatible IDoc type.

IDoc processing:

If an EDI subsystem is used, the subsystem should not modify the field CIMTYP.

1 Outbound IDocs: the application selection module maintains the field CIMTYP from the field PARTOUT (partner profile).

2 Inbound IDocs: the IDoc Interface checks whether the specified extension exists in combination with the specified basic type.

3. Yes use FM. According to ur scenario u want to choose BAPI or simple RFC

Hi,

I got answers to all of my questions. The below is for your information:

1. I can include field even after doing SET RELEASE, have to do CANCEL RELEASE first.

2. Extension is not obligatory. It will extend the IDoc.

3. It will be a non-RFC enabled function module.

Thanks for your reply.
