IDOC connection

Hi experts in ABAP,

I am trying to figureout how a basic type is linked to a message type. I know that it is done in We82.

But my query is how to link basic type (say orders05 and not to use orders07) to a msg type orders, both of them are available in WE82 msg type and basic type combination.

How the system will understand to pick up Orders05 and not orders 07.

Is there any place we define or restrict it.

Sorry for confusion i was indicating for inbound IDOC.

If you check that one you will not see this. You will see the msg type and the process code but not the basic type.

This is controlled in the partner profile (WE20)

I recommend to read this really good document: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34785

Thanks for the document.

But in the partner profile we give the message type and process code. We do not configure the message type and Basic type. The basic type is linked with message type WE82. The msessage type is then linked with the process code and the function module in in BD57.

My question was how will the system understand if the same message type is linked with multiple basic type in WE82.

How does your WE20 look like in Detail?

Mine looks like it is described in the document:

Hi,

For inbound IDOC, the message type and IDOC type will be sent from the sender system to SAP. In SAP, we need to configure the IDOC type for that message type.

I am not sure but seems this one holds good when the sender system is an SAP system. However in my current project the doc sent is an EDI 810 (X12) which i am converting to an Orders IDOC ( PI mapping in between). I have done with the technicalities and the mapping of it.

Tell me how how will the system understand when the IDOC is an inbound one and is send from an external partner (not in SAP). All my previous information holds good.

As you told Niranjan "we need to configure the IDOC type for that message type" you do this in BD57 i guess.

Hi Niranjan,

I checked with my PI and XI today and discussed this with them its from there we provide.

Thanks for your input.

the basic type of an inbound Idoc is in the IDOC itself. See EDIDC table.
