hi,

IDOC is a intermediate document to exchange data between two SAP Systems.

*IDocs are structured ASCII files (or a virtual equivalent).

*Electronic Interchange Document

*They are the file format used by SAP R/3 to exchange data with foreign systems.

*Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form

*IDocs exchange messages

*IDocs are used like classical interface files

IDOC types are templates for specific message types depending on what is the business document, you want to exchange.

WE30 - you can create a IDOC type.

An IDOC with data, will have to be triggered by the application that is trying to send out the data.

FOr testing you can use WE19.

1. What is Idoc?

(i)Idoc:

****

• IDoc (for Intermediate document) is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program.

• IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system.

• The IDoc is transmitted to the receiver, which may be an R/3, R/2, or some external system.

• IDocs are used for asynchronous transactions & BAPI is used for asynchronous transaction..

• Each IDoc generated exists as a self-contained text file that can then be transmitted to the requesting workstation without connecting to the central database.

• Computers are likely to use different hardware and/or operating system platforms. An IDoc encapsulates data so that it can be exchanged between different systems without conversion from one format to another.

(ii)Transaction Code-WE30.

(iii) How to create outbound for idoc?

This is step to create outbound for Idoc.

(i)creates business objects for outbound ALE IDocs, and if desired, (ii)creates an IDoc wrapper business object for an IDoc packet of multiple individual IDocs.
