Some IDoc types are supplied by SAP in the standard system,

these are the basic types. Other IDoc types are customer

extensions. In these cases, a basic type is combined with

an extension which is created by the customer, according to

certain rules. Unlike customer extensions , these extended

basic types are upward compatible.

Hi,

What is Basic type in IDoc?

The IDoc type indicates the SAP format that is to be used to interpret the data of a business transaction.

An IDoc type consists of the following components:

- A Control Record

This is identical for each IDoc type.

- Several Data Records

One data record consists of a fixed key part and a variable data part. The data part is interpreted using segments, which differ depending on the IDoc type selected.

- Several Status Rcords

These are identical for each IDoc type and describe the statuses an IDoc has already passed through or the status an IDoc has attained.

How to see the details of basic type ALEREQ01?

You can go to transaction WE60 (IDoc Type Documentation)
