[edvdm]

Hello!

One customer send us his orders via FTP as XML-File. This XML-File includes the structure of the IDOC ORDERS.

Now we should import this XML-File as IDOC in our system an create after that a sales order.

How can we import this XML-File?

Hi Sachin!

FM IDOC_XML_FROM_FILE needs a Port.

What kind of Port should it be? The XML-File of our customer is located on our application server.

Hi Sachin!

I have another one questin.

Each XML-File from our customer has a unique filename with some constant and some variable parts. The variable part includes the timestamp. How can I read the filename to import the correct file?

XML File must be encoding with UTF8, our first XML-File was encodied with UTF16
