describe how you defined your file in step 7, did you select one source stuctur (table) or many source structures (sequential file)?

Hello ,

you need to assign diff files to Header and Items , if its not reading item details from ITEM files ...then you need to tick : Selection Parameter for "Import/Convert Data for Field EBELN at Header Level .

Hello,

If your using two files for header and Item.

Make sure that, there should be a common ( key ) field in both header and item source fields, ( In step3 Display source field) click the tab fields with same Name, then common fields should be marked in differnet color. Make sure your file contians proper values.

In step 7: Specify files: In file content select the radio buttion Data for One Source Structure (Table)

if you follow both the above steps, and data in your file is correct then you should be able to read the data from the input file.

Cheers,

HI sriram,

i am getting header data and item data too

only the issue is my idoc is not posting its saying " source field is longer than target field"

even though i specified the correct field length also

help me

thanks

[JL23]

is this really an error message from IDOC posting?

I know such information is listed in step 5 Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

it is just information that can cause missing data.

e.g. if you have defined your source field in step 3 with a length of 10 and assigned this source field in step 5 to a target field with a length of 8, then this message is listed.

if this source field never has a content longer than 8 digits, then you will not get any issue, but if it has values in all 10 digits, then the last 2 are cut off.

what did you enter.

a date in a date field takes the date usually in YYYYMMDD format, without any seperator.
