IDOC communication between different basic type releases.

Former Member — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:08:12 GMT

Has anyone run into a scenario where a newer SAP release would like to send a message to a partner with an older SAP release, using a basic type that does not exist in the older system? (eg. DELVRY05 which only exists in release 700)

In this scenario, what is the best practice, other than to have the newer SAP system send an older basic type that does exist in the receiving partner?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can do this by specifying the older release in the partner profile outbound settings (for message type).

Under the "Outbound options" tab there is a field "Seg. release in IDoc type". There you can specify the older release and the IDoc will automatically be depricated when it is received in the receiving system.
