Can anyone explain me the ALE/IDOC scenario with some real time example.....

I am having all the material and links for this .... I know the total process how to create the custom idocs, how to distribute the ale scenario, how to create all the remaining stuff...

But I don't have any real time experience with these....

Let us assume <b>Distribution of Material Master Data Between two Systems</b> as our scenario..

can anyone clearly explain me what would be systems like what r the different legacy systems you have used in your work environment and what is the middle ware you have used what is the business scenario you implemented....

I really appreciate your valuable time... I assign the marks for all the answer.. please guide me

Hi Sri,

Let me try

Assume there are two systems, one is your SAP R/3 and other one is the EBP (Enterprise Buying Portal).

Now all the material from the R/3 system should be available in EBP system so that buyer can buy them online. But it is not advisable to go and create each material in EBP so we will use Distribution of Material data to EBP from SAP R/3. In this way lets say someone has bought the quantity then you require to reduce that much from the R/3 system. here again we can send back the data from EBP to SAP.

Such a way there can be lot many real time scenario.

When the systems are not in the same network we use EAI or XI to link them.

Hope it is clear.

Atish,

Good explanation.....

first of all i didn't get this point

<b>In this way lets say someone has bought the quantity then you require to reduce that much from the R/3 system. here again we can send back the data from EBP to SAP.</b>

can make it clear plz...

and to do so what sort of middle ware v have to use in this scenario and is it necessary to use the middle ware?

If you have worked with some concept in ale/idoc in general other than this material master can you explain me clearly atish.

thanks a lot for your valuable time

Hey Sri,

Now if you know about EBp, it is bothing but a portal of SAP where you can buy. Now all the material data available is stored in to SAP R/3 system. Now lets see I am a buyer and I logged into EBP. Now There are 100 cars I want to buy of particular model and I bought it. So you have to reduce 100 cars from your R/3 system. This data you need to send back to SAP system as reduce car quantity by 100.

I took very simple example, but it is not that simple anytime

Revert back if you still have query.
