Hi,

Our requirement is to send and recieve functional acknowledgement through EDI.

What is functional Acknowledgement?

Can any one help me out in using functional acknowledgement?What is the message type and functional modules involved for processing functional acknowledgement.Once I recieve a funtional acknowledgement where should that data be updated?

Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

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.
