OUTBOUND IDOC

[Former Member]

Hi All!

I am working on the OUTBOUND interface through ALE.I identified a IDOC cats_insert02 for my requirement but the FM for this IDoc is supporting the INBOUND.Now can i use the same IDoc and write my own FM for this w.r.t. OUTBOUND.

otherwise will i have to define a IDOc from scratch and then define the FM.

Please advise

regards

Hi Praneeth,

1. WE57

This tcode must be useful.

2. I think for this purpose,

u will also have to create another MESSAGE TYPE

for outbound.

3. Then u will have to create ur own FM

(following the discipline which is required)

and assign this FM to the IDOC <--> Message Type

Combination !

Hi Amit!

Thanks for the input.To just clarify once again you mean i can't use the basic IDoc cats_insert02 and i have to create a new one for this along with new FM.

Again how to assign the FM to the new IDoc i create.How should i configure this to get it attached with the IDoc.Please advise.

Hi again,

1. U can use the same basic idoc.

2. Using the tcode we57

u can assign the

new FM

to this IDOC and MESSAGE Combination.

(customization rights are required for this)

3. So when this idoc is OUTPUT,

this FM will get triggered.

4. For doing all this, u will also

have to get some help on IDOC / ALE

Hi Amit!

Can u please provide me the stand alone program for CAT2 application?

If there is no standard program for this how can i trigger the outbound IDoc for this transaction.

Will i have to do IDoc interface programing for this with all the declarations of selection screen?

please advise
