when you assign the data element, check it is active or not.

in the table control click on the data element and see it is active or not. activate the data element and check..

Hi,

Here is the general steps to create segments. Check the following steps.

Enter transaction WE30 (ALE->Extension-> IDOC types->Maintain Idoc type)

- Type in your name of the extended IDOC type (usually starting with 'Z') and click on the Basic IDoc type, click the create icon.

- Click on Create new and enter a description and press enter.

- Click on ZIDOCTYPE01 and then on the Create icon.

- Enter ZIDOCTYPE as the segment type, click on Segment Editor.

- Enter a description for your segment type and create.

- Enter a description for your segment, enter each field required in your IDoc and press enter to validate.

- Save and generate, press back

- To release the segment choose Goto, Release from the menu.

- Check the box on the line of your segment.

- Save, back and enter.

- Your Idoc type structure should be displayed with your new segment.

- Save and back.

- To release the Idoc type choose Extras, Release type from the menu and Yes.

Thanks,

Hari,

You will have to create the Segments first using transaction WE31. Once you create all the segments, come back to WE30 and then create the IDOC type.

first create the segments in we31 and then goto we30 and then add the segments to that basic type.
