IDOC ?

[Former Member]

Hi, Expert:

I have a assignement on Idoc. I finished all configuration. and wrote a customer program ZGenerate_IDoc. within this program I call MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function module.

I just want to know. after calling this function module.

IDoc Data automatic sends out. or I need more process.

Thanks in advance.

After calling the FM MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE, commit the work. Read the IDoc number(Docnum). And check the status of IDOC in WE02. If it is 03 it is sucess, else check the control record which u r passing to the FM.

Hi,

Check the FM documentation..

This function module is the interface from the application to the ALE

layer on the outbound side. The application can pass an IDoc, the

so-called master IDoc, as an internal table using the parameters

MASTER_IDOC_CONTROL and MASTER_IDOC_DATA.

This IDoc is then converted into one or communcation IDocs and stored in

the ALE layer. IDocs for which no errors occurred are passed to

dispatch control.

In the table parameter COMMUNICATION_IDOC_CONTROL the header records

for the communication IDocs created are retturned. You can tell whether

processing was successful from the field STATUS.

A COMMIT WORK must be dispatched in the calling program, otherwise the

IDocs may not be dispatched.

Thanks for reply quickly.

Can you tell me if IDoc generat successful. it's automactic sent to Partner side or not? or need other application to trigger to send out?

Check what is the middleware in ur project. In my project middleware is XI, so whenever the IDOC are created XI people will map the IDOC to the receiver. Same hapenns for Inbound too.

Thanks, Prakash Ramu. If I configure to send out to a specific directory. After I call MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function. It's automatic go there or not?

[Former Member]

Yunfa if the configuraion is correct, it will automatiacally goes to the specified directory. You can check in WE02 that the IDOC status is 03( Green ) or not.

If it is green, it has reached the destination.

Reward all helpfull point.

Hi Yunfa,

The sending of IDOCs depends on the way your configuration. If you say 'process idocs immediately' then it will go to the partner. If you select 'collect idocs' then you have to run the application RSEOUT00. This application will collect all the IDOCs which are ready to process and send to the client.

Once it is processed, you can check the IDOCs status in WE02 for that particular message type.

Hi,

I believe there must be some external tool that will pick up the IDOCs created from SAP and will send them to the the corresponding partner..

Hi Yunfa,

After calling the FM, check the sy-subrc..if its '0', then use COMMIT WORK.

This program will act like as a Selection program to create an IDOC automatically(Hope the settings are already done in this case).

Thanks
