OUTPUT type status change

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have an OUTPUT type for Distribution ALE (for Order confirmation), we stop OUTBOUND IDOC depending on few conditions.

Problem : OUTPUT type shows RED status (fair enough),

No Log (unfair).

I need to change the status to green and generate a log

stating IDOC is generated for blah blah reasions.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Manohar,

To get a green light on OUTBOUND IDoc's you need to set the status to 03.

You can do that as follows:

DATA: it_status TYPE bdidocstat OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
it_status-docnum = '<your IDoc number>'.
it_status-status = '03'.
APPEND it_status.
CALL FUNCTION 'IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE'
     EXPORTING
          idoc_number     = docnum
          no_dequeue_flag = space
     TABLES
          idoc_status     = it_status
     EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS          = 0.

Keep in mind, that you need, from time to time, run the report RBDMOIND (or transaction BD75) to check if the IDoc's were correctly handled (send). This will then set status 12 for all status 03 outbound IDoc's and will report problems.

Hi Manohar,

The second part of your question: How to create a log entry.

You must use the following function modules:

1. ECCLOG_SELECT (this to open a specific log related to your IDoc number).

2. ECCLOG_ADD_MESSAGE (to add messages to the log)

3. ECCLOG_SAVE (to save and close the log).
