WE19 Difference between standard inbound & Inb with function module

[Former Member]

Hi Guys

This could be a basic one but will solve a query for us

In the WE19 screen there are two ways of testing the inbound idoc.

1. standard inbound tab

2. Inbound function module tab

Problem is, In my Zfunction module I have made some changes (appended a few error messages in the 'idoc_status' internal table). These changes reflect perfectly when I process the FM through  Inbound function module (that is my error messages get displayed in the status record in WE02) but when I use the Standard Inbound tab, these changes dont appear. I have debugged for both cases and they work exactly the same in the debugger, that is the internal tables are being filled with the same values.

Can anyone shed some light ?

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

For the first part of the question - Under standard inbound tab, whatever FM/Processcode is assigned for your message type is used. This can be checked in we42 or we20 (I am not sure what happens when the assignment is different in we42 and we20, but it has to be one of these places - May be others can tell). Under Inbound FM tab whatever FM you want to use to process may be entered. (No brainer )

I do not understand the second part of your question. Are you saying that the same FM is used in both the cases but somehow the results are different? May be the code and some detailed explanation will help understand further.
