TRADINGCONTRACT01 Message type

john_pawski — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:18:08 GMT

I am trying to configure ALE for outbound (from SAP) processing for IDOC basic type TRADINGCONTRACT01. I thought TRADINGCONTRACT was the message type. However, when I go to set up my distribution model I get this message when I go to add message type:

Message type TRADINGCONTRACT belongs to BAPI

TradingContract.Create: Use the BAPI in the model

Any ideas? Perhaps my config is off somewhere else.

use table EDIMSG to find the message type for the corresponding idoc type

Thanks for the note. One more question. It does show up with message type TRADINGCONTRACT as I thought. However, when I use that message type in my distribution model I get an error message stating I should add BAPI and not message type. Any idea?

Thanks for your note. I did see it is TRADINGCONTRACT as I thought it was when doing my configuration.

However, when I go to set up my distribution model I get this message when I go to add message type:

Message type TRADINGCONTRACT belongs to BAPI

TradingContract.Create: Use the BAPI in the model

I'm not sure why that in EDIMSG table the basic IDOC type TRADINGCONTRACT01 has message tyep TRADINGCONRACT but I get the above message.

Have you seen this behavoir before?

Thanks

Message type TRADINGCONTRACT is also used in the BAPI for tradingcontract (see details below) and apparently you can't have both. If you want to use the idoc interface, then i suggest that you create a new message type (e.g. ZTRADINGCNTR) and link it to idoc type TRADINGCONTRACT 01. You can do this via transactions WE81 and WE82.

Bapi definition

Method Create

Business object TradingContract / BUS2124

Short description Create from Template Data

New in Release 46C

Function module BAPI_TRADINGCONTRACT_CREATE

ALE message type TRADINGCONTRACT

Do I also need to associate a tcode with my new message type? If so, do you know how to do it? I seem to recall I did that before but can't find the appropriate place.

Thanks

I think the message type ZTRADINGCONTRACT should have an associated process code with it.

For example; ORDERS has process code ME10 for outbound idocs. What ME10 does is - it selects all the details and fills the idoc.

So may be a similar thing needs to be assocaited.

(Look at t code WE41)

Ven, so even if I created a custom message type it would have an associated tcode? Is this because TRADINGCONTRACT01 has a related tcode. Is there a way I can see which tcodes are associated with TRADINGCONTRACT01? I'm assuming WB21 and perhaps on in purchasing would be associated, please let me know.

Thanks

By CODE, I mean the process code that extracts the data and passes on to the IDoc structure and it is not a T Code.

WE41 the transaction code where you can see the Process Code Vs the Message type.

Putting this aside,

I am a bit baffled why the TRADINGCONTRACT message type - even though associated with the Idoc type TRADINGCONTRACT01 - is throwing the error when you try to add it at BD64.

Any body - any ideas?
