IDOC views

Former Member — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:22:28 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone know if it possible to associate an IDOC type view ( i've created one as copy of DEBMAS06 without the partner functions segments ) with one EDI Message type ?

In my case i'd like to associate the view with the same message type DEBMAS.

Or do the views exist for other porposes ?

Thanks,

Paulo Sousa

IDOC Views are used for Outbound processing where you dont want to send an entire IDOC out whena all you need is just some of the segments.

IDOC views are related to an IDOC type itself, which in turn is related to a message type. Check an outbound partner profile and see how an IDOC view can be specified there

Hi,

What is it that you want to achieve by removing the segments from the IDoc type ?

To answer your question, You will have to create your own message type to associate it with a custom IDoc type. So attaching the Custom IDoc to a Standard Message type will not work.

Hi,

By removing the segments i mean i don't want them to be part of the IDOC, so i don't include them in the view.

Regarding my problem ( I want to transfer customers without partner functions ) do you know if it's possible to associate a view of DEBMAS06 without partner functions segments, with a message type new created as an exactly copy of message type DEBMAS ?

Thanks,

Message type is linked to the IDOC type, and You need to specify the IDOC view for the IDOC type in WE20. Why you need a new message type? You can use the same message type DEBMAS.

and for the partner segments, you can remove whatever segments in a View as long as those are not mandatory.
