Hello

If you just need the IDoc as XML-IDoc then create a XML port (transaction WE21 ) and send your IDocs to this port.

However, if you need to have some kind of EDI-XML you need to do some extensive mapping fron the IDoc structure to the EDI structure.

In our case we XSLT mapping on SAP-XI for this purpose. If you do not have SAP-XI available you are able to to do XSLT transformation on the SAP system (transaction XSLT ).

You define XML port as per suggestion of UWE then go to partner profile and select Vendor master IDOC and in output mode select collect IDOC

When you have define XML port you also assign particular directory in which you want to collect IDOC then MAP that directory to FTP server
