General - IDOC doubt

Former Member — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:16:51 GMT

Hi ,

i have a general question regarding master_idoc_distribute.

in the FM we will be passing the control data , IDOC data and will get the communication data .

we have defined all the Partner profile, ports , rfc as well.

the question i have in my mind lets say i have created a sales order and wants to send data through master_idoc_distribute to another system.

My confusion here is :

will be sufficient if i pass the control data and IDOC data into the FM master_idoc_distribute to create an idoc in the other system or am i missing something . Please suggest.

Regards,

If your requirement is to send sales order IDOC to 3rd party system.

Instead of writing your own program, you can do the same with configuration.

You can use SAP Standard Output type BA00 or ask your functional consultant to create a output type for EDI.

Make the necessary partner profile setting for outboud using the process code SD10.

Upon saving the sales order, IDOC will automatically go the 3rd party system, based on system mentioned in the partner profile

Hi Madan,

Thanks for the info . But my question here , not especially Sales order any application process we decide , if i use the FM master_idoc_distribute . will it automatically transfer the data to other system providing the partner profiles , ports and RFC's are defined ( apart from these are there any other configuration needs to be done to trigger the idoc to be transferred to other system ).

Do we have to define Distribution model when using EDI . Please suggest.

Regards,
