Extending a Basic IDOC Type

Former Member — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:07:41 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone give me details regarding the extestion of Basic IDOC type? I need to add a new segment to basic IDOC type HROT_USP as well as modify an SAP standard segment in this IDOC type by adding a new field. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Sai.

Extending IDOC type is possible ( we30--exteonsion radio buton and say create) but not a standard segment. Segment is like a structure to change it you need a key.

Append structures are posible though...provided you get good usereixt to populate those new feilds in that standard segment.

Hi,

Enter transaction WE30 (ALE->Extension-> IDOC types->Maintain Idoc type)

- Type in your name of the extended IDOC type (usually starting with 'Z') and click on the Basic IDoc type, click the create icon.

- Click on Create new and enter a description and press enter.

- Click on ZIDOCTYPE01 and then on the Create icon.

- Enter ZIDOCTYPE as the segment type, click on Segment Editor.

- Enter a description for your segment type and create.

- Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc and press enter to validate.

- Save and generate, press back

- To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu.

- Check the box on the line of your segment.

- Save, back and enter.

- Your Idoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment.

- Save and back.

- To release the Idoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes.
