Hello Everybody,

I want to know how to create Purchase order through EDI. I will receive text file from third party system. I have made most of the configuration related to EDI like Port -File, Partner Function etc. I am using message type PORDCR and Idoc type PORDCR05.

But i do not know how the SAP first will convert the text file into IDoc and then create Purchase order. Can any body help me how to go about it? What steps i have to follow. I will have text file from that i have to create Purchase order through EDI.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Manish

EDI messages must be converted to SAP IDoc format, often done by external mapping tools ("Seeburger", "Gentran" and co.). For single cases you could also use the LSMW for setting up a mapping of the source data into the target IDoc structure.

All very well documented, please search for available information.

Hi,

Create Purchase Order through EDI

Regarding on your query,

You can use the standard ORDERS05 idoc type itself to send outbound idocs.

It will be the middleware or the integration team that will send this IDOC to the receiving system.

or

Maintain Partner Profile in WE20, RFC Connection to the Middleware in SM59 and Port in WE21.

Maintain Output Procedure/Output Type/Access Sequences/Condition Records from NACE

Generate the Outbound 850 (PO) from ME21N
