HI,

you have to use IDocType COSMAS*

Goto WE30: COSMAS*

WE60: IDoc Documentation

Goto BD52 and check relevant changepointer-Fields for your IDocType COSMAS

Goto BD64 and maintain your MEssageType COSMAS to your distribution MOdell.

GOTO BD21 and process Changepointer for COSMAS

Hi,

Please follow the following steps.

Check if Change pointer is active Globally via BD61
Check if change pointer is active for COSMAS via BD50
Maintain required field entries for which you need the change pointer to be triggered vai BD52.
Maintain distribution model for Source and Traget System for message type COSMAS in source system
Maintain partner profile via WE20.
Then run transaction BD21 to trigger change pointer idocs.

Hope it helps.

Regds,

Hi,

- Make sure that the necessary ALE configurations are in place for the message type COSMAS.

- To activate change pointers, use transactions BD50(Activate change pointers for message type), BD61(Activate change poiners generally), make the change to the cost center and execute transaction BD21(program RBDMIDOC) or alternatively release a background job for the same.

- To do the testing, you could check with the tables BDCP and BDCPS. An entry is created in these tables for every change made to a document enabled for change pointers. In case there is no entry in these tables, check with transaction SCDO to verify if the change document oblect exists for the object.
