      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi Venkat,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope the following will help..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Create The Extension Segment&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Transaction: WE31&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The first step in extending an IDoc is to create the new segments that will go into that IDoc. There are some rules that you need to follow when creating the segments:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-	The name of each segment type must start with &amp;#145;Z1&amp;#146;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-	For each field in the segment you need to define a field name and a &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;data element.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-	The data element for the segment structure must be of data type &amp;#145;CHAR&amp;#146;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How to create new segments:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Run the segment maintenance transaction WE31.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Type your new segment name, and click on Create.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Define the fields of your segment:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Field name	&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Data Element for the field (from the ABAP dictionary).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Do not change the Export length!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Save the segment&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Run Segment --&amp;gt;Check to check the segment for consistency.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Release the segment for transport. Select Edit --&amp;gt;Set Release. Note that the &amp;#147;Release&amp;#146; column now has a check mark.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Create the Extension IDoc Type&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Transaction: WE30&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After you create the segments to be added to the extension type, you can create the extension type itself. Execute transaction WE30, enter the extension name, select Extension type, and click Create. You now have three options:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Create new type: Does not refer to other extension types&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Create copy: Copies info from an extension type that already exists&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;	Create successor: Extends an extension type from a previous release &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;of R/3. You can only have one version of an extension type for &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;each release.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Enter the Basic IDoc type that this extension type will extend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The screen now shows the structure of the IDoc type you used as &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;a reference.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Position the cursor on one of the segments and click Create. This will insert an extension segment as a child of the selected segment.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;NOTE: A segment cannot appear more than once in an IDoc type! You must control the use of duplicate segments with the segment attributes (the next screen). &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The segment attribute screen appears. Enter the information and save.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Extension segments should not be mandatory (for future upgrades), and will need to have minimum and maximum number of instances defined. This answers the question, &amp;#147;for each instance of the parent segment, how many instances of the child segment may we have?&amp;#148;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can press the Segment Editor pushbutton to view or change the segment definition.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Create the new Message Type&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can only use an extension IDoc type by assigning it to a message type. You can create a new message type for this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;First the message type itself needs to be created. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Transaction: WE81&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Create a new entry and save. Use SAP established customer naming conventions (good form is to start with a Z and retain the rest of the related SAP message type, so, for example, MATMAS becomes ZMATMAS).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After creating the message type, associate it with the corresponding Basic IDoc Type and Extension Type.  This relationship is used when IDocs are sent to or received from a partner to determine what segments are valid and what the hierarchy for those segments is.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Transaction: WE82&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Create a new entry and enter the Message type, Basic IDoc type, Extension type, and Release, and save your data. Note: the release assignment is not valid for prior SAP releases.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One message type can be associated with many basic IDoc types; however, you need a one-to-one relationship for distribution via ALE.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sathish Raj.&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
