topic Re: EDI doubt in Application Development and Automation Discussions

You can find the start release for each IDOC type in transaction WE30. When you go to the header data you find under Released the start release this IDOC type exists. For example for ORDERS you have the following start releases:

ORDERS01: 3.0A

ORDERS02: 3.0D

ORDERS03: 4.0A

ORDERS04: 4.5A

ORDERS05: 4.6A

That means, if you are on release 4.5B you cannot use ORDERS05, but you can use any of ORDERS01,...,ORDERS04. In this case I would suggest that you use ORDERS04 since this is the latest one available in your release, but if there are some specific reason you may also choose one of the lower versions (they are supported in the newer releases as well).

Hope this helps,

Claus

Hi,

Whatever information is provided by claus is absolutely correct.u have to decide which sap version u r using and according to that u have choose the basic type..

Moreover regarding EDI and IDOC

EDI is a third party tool and its not of Sap.It is a middle ware.The example is GENTRON.

It can used for SAP TO NON-SAP.

Moreover EDI is a subsystem...

Regarding the IDOC

1>Its a data container

2>It contains data records,status records and only one control record.

3>Data records contains segments which further contains fileds.Table is EDIDD.

4>Status records tells about the status of the idoc

If <50 (Outbound) and >50(inbound)

5>Control record contains sender receiver information and also messsage type and basic type..

Hoping this will help u.Please reward points if u find useful.

Regards,

Nagaraj

Hi,

first get the message type using EDIMSGT table, here you can search it based on description for what purpose they are used etc, and from there go to EDIMSG table and give the message type and get the IDoc type etc.
