sorry for repeating question. my requirement is to create a program, which when executed, creates a custom idoc ( time sheet idoc type ) , using a custom outbound function module.

In the selection screen of the program, include

a)personnel number (range)

b)date

Hi,

You should follow the following steps 1 by 1.

• 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).
