hi,

Intermediate Documents (IDOCs)

An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data.

The two available process for IDOCs are 1) Outbound Process 2) Inbound Process.

There are basically two types of IDOCs.:

1. Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be

exchanged between two systems.

2. Extension Idoc: Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.

-To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:

1. Create Segment ( WE31)

2. Create Idoc Type ( WE30)

3. Create Message Type ( WE81)

4. Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

1. Creating a Segment:

nGo to transaction code WE31

nEnter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon

nType the short text

nEnter the variable names and data elements

nSave it and go back

nGo to Edit -> Set Release

nFollow steps to create more number of segments

2. Create Idoc Type (WE30)

nGo to transaction code WE30

nEnter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon

nSelect the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter

nSelect the IDOC Name and click Create icon

nThe system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes

nChoose the appropriate values and press Enter

nThe system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.

nFollow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation

nnSave it and go back

nnGo to Edit -> Set release

3. Create Message Type (WE81)

nGo to transaction code WE81

nChange the details from Display mode to Change modenAfter selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press EnternClick New Entries to create new Message Type

nFill details

nSave it and go back

4. Assign Idoc Type to Message Type (WE82)

nGo to transaction code WE82

nChange the details from Display mode to Change moden After selection, the system will give this message “The table is cross-client (see Help for further info)”. Press Enter.

nClick New Entries to create new Message Type.

nFill details

nSave it and go back

There are three types of records :

nControl Record nData Record nStatus Record

Control Record - contains the key information like destination, IDoc type, message type, port and sender information. Control records are of EDIDC type of structure.

Data Records - This contains two parts.

nAdministrative Section and Data Section

nAdministrative Section consists of Idoc number, Segment Name, Segment number, Version, Segment Hierarchy etc.

nData Section contains the data of respective segment

nData records are of EDIDD type of structure

nStatus Record - whenever a process is taken place, system will generate status records.

nWe can identify the process with the number of status record.

n01 - 49 for Outbound Process

n50 - 75 for Inbound Process

nwhen IDoc is processed the messages are:

n01 - IDoc is created

n30 - IDoc is ready for dispatch
