ALE - Idoc not getting processed automatically, instead going fine in Debug

Former Member — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 12:13:01 GMT

Hello All,

I have a problem with Inbound idoc processing.

IDoc settings were made 'immediate processing' in WE20, and the process code is set correctly and the attached of Z-Fun. module to process the idocs to process code.

The error in inbound side is as 'Function module not allowed: APPL_IDOC_INPUTI' 51 status. Am sure i have to do some thing with ALE settings.

Can some body help me with correction step or sequence of steps for this ALE process.

Thanks & Regards, Jilan

Check if your function module is assigned to the Idoc type in We57.

Peter,

Yes the FM is attached to the basic idoc type. But still, the error remains.

Thanks & Regards, Jilan

Hi Jilan,

Plz follow the steps:

ALE Configuration:

• WE30 - IDOC type creation

• WE31 - Create segment

• WE81 - Message type creation

• WE82 - Link IDOC type to Message type

• SE37 - Create Inbound Function Module

• BD51 - Maintain entry for Function Module

• WE57 - Maintain

• BD57 - Link Function Module, IDOC type and Message type

• WE42 – Create Inbound Process Code

• BD67 - Link Process code to Function Module

• WE20 - Create Partner Profile

• BD64 - Display Distribution Model

• WE02 - IDoc List, Display all Inbound/Outbound IDocs

• WE14 - Outbound Processing of IDoc’s

• BD20 - Inbound Processing of IDoc’s

1st Step: Create a Segment ( WE31)

Segment is a structure for passing data in IDoc. It actually contains the IDoc data, just like the DDIC table/structure. Segment is created with all the required fields. Then Save it. But, to actually use this Segment, you have to Release the Segment, otherwise u can’t use the Segment, by menu, EDIT--> Set Release.

Now, if you want to do some change to this Segment, u cant, unless & until u Cancel the Release, by Edit--> Cancel Release.

2nd Step: Create IDOC Type ( WE30 )

After creating the Segment, now we have to create the IDoc Type. IDOC Type is like an envelop of a letter, which contains the data inside it, & also some more information like address. IDoc type can be Basic Or Extended.

Basic IDoc Type: Using some SAP existing IDOC type (ex. MATMAS) or Custom IDOC type.

Extension IDOC Type: When we need some fields extra to an existing IDOC type, then we can extend that Basic Idoc Type by another Segment. This is called Extended idoc type

3rd Step: Create Message Type (WE81)

Message Type is like the Postman for sending the Letter.

4th Step: Attach Message Type to the IDOC Type (WE82)

5th Step: Create a Function Module (SE37)

Write the Processing logic in a Function Module.

6th Step: Mention the IDOC Type, i.e, 0/1/2 (BD51)

7th Step: Assign the Message Type, IDOC Type & Function Module (WE57)

8th Step: Create a Custom Process Code (WE42)

9th Step: Attach the Function Module to the Process Code (BD67)

10th Step: Execute Inbound IDOC’ s (WE19)

Example Function Module: IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS (Standard FM to create Sales Order).

reward is useful,

regards,

Tanmay

Hi Tanmay,

Thanks a lot for the steps.

I have verified all of them in the right sequence in my system configurations.

But still the error remains, i understand there is a typical check or transaction we do it here.

because, in WE19 we explicitely selct the Z-Fm to test the idoc and its going fine in processing. But its not automatically posting data.

Thanks & Regards,
