Doubt on IDOCS

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have some doubts regarding IDOCS.

1. If we are sending a IDOC from XI to R/3, where does we do validations from R/3 side and how do we do that. Suppose if we are sending a Purchase order IDOC form XI to R/3, how to do validations for that particular IDOC for PO number and some other fields from R/3 side.

2. Do we need to do validations in a aABAP Program.

please clarify me these Questions. Thanks in advance..

Hi,

You can use distribution model to do the validations. From here you can create Filters, rules etc..

If above solution is not feasible in your cases, your the user-exist for that perticulat inbound posting program and write the validations.

Rewards if this info is useful.

Hi Santosh ,

You can Either do the Validations in XI or in the ABAP coding.

When ever you retrieve the Data from the Segment to a table , you can do the validation.

Reward If Useful,

Hi Santosh ,

It depends on Whether you are working on IS-U or not.

In case of IS-u , you can do the validation in COMPR part of the code .

If it is a normal IDOC, You hav to create a FM in SE 37 and do the validation followed By your coding

Reward If Useful.
