Missing Fields and Segment in SEGMENT E1EDKA1

Former Member — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:52:58 GMT

Hi Friends,

I have a problem with the Idoc ORDERS05.

I have an EDI flow wich create orders in SAP from an other system.

In fact, I have to field the field 'Different City' for one of my header partner WE (field ADDR1_DATA-HOME_CITY in VA03) but I didn't find this field in the segment E1EDKA1.

Can you tell me how can i do in order to update this field of my Partner WE?

Best Regards

Hi Brice,

Did some research and I came to conclusion that there is no mapping available for HOME_CITY field of address data. Segment E1EDKA1 fields are mapped to VBADR structure(check include LVEDAF5T) in which HOME_CITY is not available.

SG.

Ok,

so the only solution is to add a new field to a custom segment and attach that custom segment to my basic idoc?

Not the only Solution!

Other workaround is to use any unused field with same/more length of E1EDKA1 segment.

In either way, you need to implement an exit 'EXIT_SAPLVEDA_004' to map data from new custom field/ unused field to field ADDR1_DATA-HOME_CITY of bdcdata table.
