Hi,

What are qualifiers in IDOCs and when do we come across them in creating idocs?

Thanks,

Qualifier is a field in a segment.

That value for that field will determine what type of data is contained in that segment.

for example, let us assume a segement is there for address.

and it has a qualifier field.

That qualifier field will tell whose address is it.

Is it Vendors?Customers?Sold to party's? or Ship to party's.

<b>More specific Example:

E1ADRM4 : Central Address Segment Group, Main Segment

Segment definition E2ADRM4001 Released since Release 46A , Segment length: 0952

PARTNER_Q : Qualifier for partner function

= 'WE' for Ship to party.

= 'SP' for carrier..

etc.

Meaning: the e1adrm1 will have address details of different partners involved in the business based on the PARTNER_Q value.</b>

REgards,

HI Reason,

Check this out

<b>Qualifiers</b>

Qualifiers could be considered as similar to "Record Identifiers" in a flat file & Mapping rules could be established with this value.

<b>Example</b>

For example, a segment representing date fields, can have as many possible dates (such as a Sales Order Header dates can be Requested Delivery Date, Document Date etc.). In a partiuclar record, Qualifier would indicate what the date value is representing & accordingly should be treated by the subsystem (Outbound case) or by SAP (Inbound case) - as established in the Mapping rules.

Hi,

Qualifiers are like codes. They tell the system how to respond or handle the data in the idoc segments.

For example, take a idoc for a Purchase Order change (ORDCHG/ORDERS04). This Idoc will have details of the PO line items in the segments (E1EDP01). Here, in this segment the field ACTION is like a qualifier. Here, 1 means a new item was added, 2 means existing item was changed,...

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Sumant.
