- Click on Create new and enter a description and press enter.

- Click on ZIDOCTYPE01 and then on the Create icon.

- Enter ZIDOCTYPE as the segment type, click on Segment Editor.

- Enter a description for your segment type and create.

- Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc and press enter to validate.

- Save and generate, press back

Hello Sankar,

System will not allow to create Extension for generated Idoc types via WE30. You can extend these Idoc types in Tcode BDBG to create a new ALE interface, later create Idoctype, Inbound and Outbound Function Modules.

Please refer below link;
