hi Aman,

Use FM : IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY to read the IDOC data and then use OPEN DATASET to create file from IDOC data.

You can configure(WE20) the Outbound IDoc to a receiver port with a physical directory in your SAP Directories (AL11).

From where you can download and make the necessary changes .

Mark the helpful answers

Regards,

GNK.

Either you create your own program and then send IDOC as per required by Maximo or find userexit in BD21 and change format of IDOC accordingly.

Other option could be defining your own messagetype as per required format but this may require additional configuration to work with change pointers
