EDI_DATA_INCOMING reads a Idoc flat file from the file port and path name

CALL FUNCTION 'EDI_DATA_INCOMING'
  EXPORTING
    PATHNAME       =
    PORT           =

It then creates the Idoc which then can be viewed in WE02. It is quite simple to use from a program, it save effort of manually reading the idoc file from the OS.

Yes, we need to have Idoc definition, message type, partner profile for the sender maintained in the system. The control record of the idoc will be validated to determine which idoc type and message type to use, to interpret the flat idoc text file. Once determine EDI_INCOMING_DATA can proceed to create the idoc.
