Hi,

normally you use an EDI-converter to convert the data from Edifact to the SAP IDOC structure and then post the IDOC to the SAP system.

Did you think about this? Could this be a solution for you?

I get the data in EDIFACT structure and want to get the values from this data file which I can furthermore edit.

So I thought that it would be better if I have all the data in an internal table after transformation.

How does it work with the converter? Do I have to upload first the file(EDIFACT) to SAP?

Hi,

the converter is an additional software. There the mapping to the IDOC structure is made and then the converted data file is posted to SAP Idoc input interface.

SAP has also software for this purpose. One old one is the Business Connector. Try to find more information about this.
