changing idoc status by programs

[Former Member]

when we will go for changing the idoc status code ?? Actually what is the use behind that ?? why we are forcing the system to chagne the status using some program ?? In which situations normally we will do that ?? Is it a valid procedure to do that ?? suppose idoc status is change from 51 to 68 using Program RC1_IDOC_SET_STATUS.

thanks

Hi

Changing the IDOC Status is purely depends on your requirement

In one example, we'll get the idocs and because of some genuine errors some idocs will fail, so the users will manually change the idoc instead of changing the legacy file. and change the status.

then we've schduled a job which will process the edited idocs, so that all idocs will post again with correct data

hope it helps

Hi pavan! thanks for your reply !

>>so the users will manually change the idoc instead of changing the legacy file. and chagne the status.

manually change the idoc means the data of idoc or sth else ?? could you please calrify the same ?? once if you change the status of idoc ...suppose 51 to 68 again you got to run the exteranal program to proces the idoc ??

>>then we've schduled a job which will process the edited idocs, so that all idocs will post again with correct data

Could you please tell me what do you mean by (actually what it is ??) scheduling of a job ?? Is it like that any executable program ?? or you are going to send the new idoc ??

thanks

Hi Kumar,

This is one example I've given to you... anyway here are the details.

1) Users will manually edit the IDOC data directly

2) and regarding edited IDOCs from BD87 you can re-process the edited IDOCS directly.

Thanks,
