I was suggested to automate the idoc generation thru NACE. But i dont understand the exact relation. If the transaction xxxx is saved, how come the details provided in NACE triggers idoc generation.

Can somebody pl. elaborate on this.

If NACE does not trigger idoc on saving the application, what is the exact procedure to automate idoc generation.

Thanks

Hi,

You want to automate IDOC generation for which transaction??

There are certain SPRO settings required to trigger IDOC generation automatically.

For example, in case of sales order, and output type should be configured for EDI/ALE. Whenever that output is issued, a record will be created in NACE table with the application key and partner details.

There is a standard program to process the entried of NACE. RSNASTED is that program. If this program is scheduled in background in a periodic basis, it will select the entries from NACE and trigger the IDOC generation. Else this program has to be manually executed with the key from NACE table.

If you can give the transaction name and IDOC type, i'll be able to give you a more clear picture on this.

Thanks and Regards,

Lakshmi.

Hi Santhanalakshmi

Thanks for your reply. The transaction to be automated can be taken as VF01,for instance. The idoc type may be taken as INVOIC01.

With this example, Kindly provide me with a clear picture on automation

Hi,

The output type created through NACE transaction will be given in the application document in the MESSAGES part, there we can define the communication part.

The print output or idoc output given through output type for a particular transaction are stored in NAST table.

If you create a customer invoice thru VF01 and given output type RD00, then this entry will be stored in NAST table with the document number.
