hi,

Give ur email id ..let me give some documents

ALso chk this,

1.What is the difference between ALE, EDI, IDocs and BAPI?

The interface concept of the classic R/3 is based on two different strategies: Remote Function Calls (RFC) and data exchange through IDoc message documents. RFC makes direct and synchronous calls of a program in the remote system. If the caller is an external program it will call an RFC-enabled function in R/3 and if the calling program is the R/3 system it will call an RFC-function in another R/3-system or it will call a non-R/3 program through a gateway-proxy (usually rfcexec.exe). BAPIs are a subset of the RFC-enabled function modules, especially designed as Application Programming Interface (API) to the SAP business object, or in other words: are function modules officially released by SAP to be called from external programs.

IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system. Instead of calling a program in the destination system directly, the data is first packed into an IDoc and then sent to the receiving system, where it is analyzed and properly processed. Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous process. The significant difference between simple RFC-calls and IDoc data exchange is the fact, that every action performed on IDocs are protocolled by R/3 and IDocs can be reprocessed if an error occurred in one of the message steps.

While IDocs have to be understood as a data exchange protocol, EDI and ALE are typical use cases for IDocs. R/3 uses IDocs for both EDI and ALE to deliver data to the receiving system. ALE is basically the scheduling mechanism that defines when and between which partners and what kind of data will be exchanged on a regular or event triggered basis. Such a set-up is called an ALE-scenario.

The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

2. After deploying a user-exit, all IDocs remain in status 64, why?

If an IDoc has a processing status 64, this means, that it is waiting to be processed by the assigned application. After the application has processed the IDoc the status is set to another status, usually to 53 if processing has been successful and 51 if processing has failed.

Try to force IDoc reprocessing with transaction BD87 for the specific IDoc. If the status still remains at 64, it is most certain that the application, which processed the IDoc aborted abnormally. If you check the system dumps with transaction ST22 you will most likely find a dump for every try you made to process the IDoc. The dump will also give you a hint where the IDoc application aborted.

3.My EDI partner asks me to send data in EDIFACT format, can SAP do this?

SAP does not provide a conversion from IDoc to EDIFACT, ANSI/X.12 or other classical EDI data exchange format. Conversion must be done by external converter tools. These tools receive the IDocs from the R/3 instance via ALE, convert them to EDIFACT etc. and forward the converted data to the receiver. There are numerous converter tools available now. For a list of all SAP certified IDoc converter tools, you may want to contact your SAP sales representative. The most advanced solutions will make use of the IDocs converted to XML, as they are provided by R/3 standard from realease 4.6 onwards. This will output IDocs to a file in XML. While this will not help you in converting data into EDIFACT, it may be worth to ask your EDI partners, if they really require EDIFACT (which in practice is seldomly pure EDIFACT but mostly an adapted varaiant) or if they are satisfied in receiving an XML file with the proper IDoc data.

I read your comments which were very helpful.

I am starting a project, which must use iDoc transactions on SAP. I do not know much about iDoc functionality and cannot find a comprehensive list of all current iDocs.

I want to download from SAP to an external system, Materials, Lotnos and Work Orders. Then upload back to SAP the used material quantity from the external system.

Could you give me some guidance on this processing?

Thanks in advance
