Typical problem with MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE

[Former Member]

I have written the custom program to fetch the data and to form an outbound IDoc using MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE.

The problem is when i execute the pgm 1st time the IDoc got generated. As it was in Yellow state i tried to execute the program RSEOUT00. Even then it was in yellow state.

Now again i ran the custom program and create danother IDoc. Even now this IDoc is also in Yellow state. But now when i ran RSEOUT00 program with these two IDoc numbers, now the 1st one got into green while the 2nd remained in Yellow.

Now my Questions are

1. First of all why it was in yellow color when i ran the program first time even though when i set "Trigger immediately " at partner profiles.

2. Why the first one is going into green state when the second idoc got generated ?

Hi,

The problem might be because your custom program might be locking the IDOC when you executed the RSEOUT00.

Generate the IDoc. exit your custom program completely and then execute the RSEOUT00.

Hope this helps.

try to use the FM "EDI_OUTPUT_NEW".

This should solve your problem.

HI Friends,

i have solved the issue by myself.

I have just used the FM EDI_DOCUMENT_DEQUEUE_LATER before commit wok statement.

Can any one explain me the reason why it worked out ?

Hi,

This FM is used to Unlock IDoc after close.

If you use the IDoc API, a logical SAP lock is relocated during the open. This logical lock is normally cancelled during the close. However, you can use a parameter to set it so that it is not unblocked. You can then later explicitly include this lock.
