Hi,

edidc for IDOC control Record and edidd for IDOC Data record are database tables

where as edi_dc and edi_dd are interface structures .

reward if useful

Hi Ravi,

I think you want to know the difference between Control Records and Data Records , Every IDOC has three types of records ,

1, Control Records - Which will have the IDOC number , from where the IDOC has come , Port details Etc.....

2, Data Records - Which is nothing but the Header and Item level datas as like as in the SAP Documents (Eg Sales Order)

3, Status Records - Which holds the Current and all the previous status of the IDOCs.

Generally in programs while creating the IDOC through codes we will populate the Control and Data records , and according to the status the status records will be generated by the system after an IDOC has written to database & Posted.

Hope this helps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

The difference between is

1) edidc and edi_dc

EDIDC- It is a transparent table which holds the control record information.

EDI_DC-It is a structure.

2) edidd and edi_dd

EDIDD ->It is a structure for Data record (IDoc)

EDI_DD->it is a structure for Data record for the interface to the EDI subsystem

Hi Ravi,

When an IDOC is created either Inbound or Outbound the

Control record data of the IDOC is stored in the table EDIDC and

Data records of the IDOC are stored in the table EDIDD,EDID4 etc..

but EDI_DC and EDI_DD are interface structures for Control and Data records of IDOC repectively.These structures are basically used in standard sap programs.

Hope the solution clarifies your query.

Thanks and Regards,
