Hi,

EDI structure is basically an IDoc structure which contains the control record, the data records, and the status records.

- The control record is identical for all IDocs and contains the administration information, for example, sender, recipient and message. Note that the control record also contains the last processing status ( STATUS field).

- The data records contain the segments and administration information for the segments (for example, a parent segment to which it is attached).

- The status records contain all of the previous processing statuses, as well as the corresponding administration information. This information is not sent between systems as part of the IDoc but rather as a separate data packet.

Hi Soni,

Let me share some ideas with you. When ever the data is coming through EDI, that data is hit in the form of IDOCs into SAP. For this IDOCs we are using 3 structures.

EDIDC,EDIDD,EDIDS.

EDIDC for move the control records.

EDIDD for move the data records.

EDIDS is move for the status records.

Declare three internal tables with this strucutures.

Hope this helps you. Reply for queries.
