Swapnil Bachal thanks for your help.This would be helpful when I recieve functional acknowledgement from my vendor.

Now my other requirement is that when ever I recieve a purchase order from my vendor I need to send 997 and also create the sales order for the PO recieved.I understand that for any inbound idoc I can configure process code which is attached to some Function module.SAP has provided with a standard function module which would create a sales order for the PO recieved.Could you please advice on how to send the 997 simultaneously.

Hi guys,

I also have the same problem. Did you find a solution for sending a EDI 997 when receiving an Idoc?

Thanks,

Hi ,

Sending a 997 back to the trading partner is all about sending a affrimative response upon receiving a document.

Functional acknowledgement or 997 is three digit special trasaction set which is handled at the EDI subsystem level and the middleware professionals are responsible for implementing this transaction.

In a normal circumstances any application devloper or application software (SAP R/3) will not be having any role in this.

Hope this clarifies .

Thank you.
