I hope it is for testing.

Go to WE19 - > enter the idoc number - > Select the segment - > click the create button -> enter the fields you want.

U would not be able to change the IDOC but with WE19, you can create another copy of it as well as change it (though not 100% sure of field change)

U will have to create an extension of the IDoc type.

In order to create a Extension of the Basic Type. We have to follow up this way...

Suppose....

My Basic IDoc Type is ORDERS05.

Go to WE31 Transaction

First of all i need to create all the segments that are to be extended for the basic IDoc.

Go to WE30 Transaction

Here Give in the object name as our desired name and Select the Radio Button Extension and then -> Create.

This opens a Create EXtension Dialog where in we select the first radio button Create New and give the Linked Basic Type as ORDERS05.

Give in some Description and then ENTER.

Now we get to the main screen where we press Create Segment and add the segments to the Basic Type.

If it is testing of IDoc you will have to do thru WE19 transaction</b>

hello,

some more info...

<b>WE31 - segment editor</b>.

here u can create new segment with some fields or u can even change an existing segment and add new fields.

if u r changing an existing segment u first have to cancel release and then only u can change it.

for this, in WE31,

<b>EDIT -> CANCEL RELEASE</b> now u can add.

after adding new fields you should again do this in WE31

<b>EDIT -> SET RELEASE</b>

if u dont do this u will have problem later.

if u r not adding any new segments u done need to go to WE30.

<b>WE30 : Develop IDoc types</b>

here we attach all segments to make an IDoc type. It can happen that an IDoc type is already existing and u have to add a new segment with some fields. In this case also u should first CANCEL RELEASE and then add.

after adding again SET RELEASE.

hope this helps...
