IDOC Triggering points

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working in EDI/IDOC area, Could you please tell me how/where should I setup triggering points. Below are th IDOC's Involved

1. From Customer->EDI Converter -> SAP getting DELFOR and ORDERS IDOC that should automatically go to EDI Converter again (here we are creating forecast and ORDERS in SAP system)

2. Vendor -> EDI Converter -> SAP, As soon as i get ASN from Vendor, SAP should trigger Credit note (GSVERF03) back to them and rise INVOICE to customer at the same time (2 different triggers there one is to Vendor and the other one is Customer)

Note : SAP is only sending/Receiving messages through EDI converter

I remember there is a transaction code where you setup when ORDERS come into SAP create Sales Order automatically, I looked at all my docs and did some research couldn't find it.

I am also not sure if i have to write some custom program to trigger these IDOC's

Please suggest

Thanks

You can set the idocs' to be processed immediately in partner profile or better set it to collect and schedule RBDAPP01 program to process all incoming idocs (of ORDERS05 type)

Hi Kris,

thanks for mail, just one confirmation when customer sends me ORDERS, using partner profile if i send ORDERS directley to Vendor does it also creates ORDERS in SAP too? and what about if i have to send different IDOC's like when i get ASN i should trigger Credit not and INVOICE?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use output types to triger Idocs, If you are receiving ORDERS in SAP it will create a order in SAP and you can configure output type in SAP so whenever order is created in SAP it will triger output type and it than triger idoc automatically and this you can send to any partner.

Thanks,

I am not clear about your requirement... If Customers are sending you orders, what do you mean by sending this orders to vendors? Are we talking about Direct Ship orders (where Sales order results in creation of PO and that PO is then sent to your vendor)?

You can have multiple output types for your documents... And you can write your own FM for generating a different idoc type or posting a new document ...
