Hi,

It's not like that.

First you have to decide your requirement.

idoc is the interface used to transfer data from one system to other(between R3 or from R3 to other).

So all Application document fields data(example Sales order) will be sent through Idoc to the other side.

See the tables EDIDC,EDIDD, EDIDS etc.

if you want to pass that document to other SAP client or EDI subsystem only them you need IDOC..

IDOC is an Intermediate document. It is data container.

IDOC TYPE is like the structure of idoc u r transfering.

suppose u r transfering material master details, SEGMENT

conatining structure of material master is assigned to

IDOC TYPE. IDOC is like instance of STRUCTURE IDOC TYPE

which contains data. SEGMENT is nothing but collection of fields.

It contains 3 records,

Control Records (data stores in EDIDC),

Data Records (Data stores in EDID4),

Status Records (Data Stores in EDIDS ).

To transfer data from tables from one client to another, IDOCS will be used.

We should also know how to configure the ALE settings between the systems to distribute the data.

SAP uses a single IDoc type for several logically related messages. For example, the Orders IDoc type (ORDERS02) is used for several messages, such as Order (ORDERS), Order Response (ORDRSP), and Order Change (ORDCHG).

SM59 TESTING THE RFC DESTINATION

The IDoc, before being saved in the database, goes through a syntax check and other validations. If there are no errors, the IDoc gets a status of 30 which means IDoc ready for dispatch to ALE Service.

Question : How do i generate sample IDOC files (outbound processing) for the following idoc types?

wp_plu02

wp_ean01

wpdwgr01

the pos system needs to be configured and they need an actual text file of these idocs.

Answer : u need to configure settings between the systems to establish the connection.
