I am not clear with your requirement, can you explain in detail.

ABAP is just a programming language which we use to program in SAP. You need to post data from other system. In SAP we have Idocs which work in both way - inbound as well as outbound. If you see the links i sent earlier, it will help to get an idea.

Hello Liugiang

You<b> need an EDI converter </b>which converts your EDI message (ED1 ANSI(?)X.12 855) to the corresponding IDoc data (logical message ORDRSP in SAP).

There is absolutely no point in developing an ABAP base EDI converter since you will find thousands of commercially available EDI converters.

You may have a look at the open-source EDI converter of <a href="http://www.mec-eagle.org/">m-e-c eagle of Mendelson</a>. If you have the XSLT transformation for your EDI message type available this EDI converter transforms the message into a XML which then could be used as input of an ABAP based XSLT transformation into the IDoc message format.

Uwe

Hello Luigiang

It is indeed somewhat tricky to find the right link for downloading:
