Sales Order creation through IDOCS

[Former Member]

Hello Interface Experts,

I am new to Interface technology and now got a chance to work on it.

My work scenario is like this: We will get idocs into our SAP system to create Sales Orders.

Now could you please answer my these below questions related to above scenario?

1> How do i get to know that i have got a idoc and then what is my next step?

2> What are the basic fields a idoc (for creating sales order) will contain?

3> If i require to modify (add new fields/remove) then where do i do that and how do i do that?

4> Could you please give me the list of steps to be followed to create a new idocs and sending it to other system?

5> Steps to trigger an idoc using EDI ?

6> What are the roles of an abaper in interface (please give me the steps).

Thanks in advance to send reply at the earliest...

Hi Devasing,

1> How do i get to know that i have got a idoc and then what is my next step?

When the idoc will reach the system it will automatically be processed by the process code and function modules you have defined in the partner profile (WE20)

You can monitor the incoming idoc from WE05

2> What are the basic fields a idoc (for creating sales order) will contain?

you can see the idoc definition from WE30, the idoc is ORDERS05

3> If i require to modify (add new fields/remove) then where do i do that and how do i do that?

in this case you have to create an idoc extension, look in help.sap.com for the step by step implementation

4> Could you please give me the list of steps to be followed to create a new idocs and sending it to other system?

5> Steps to trigger an idoc using EDI ?

Go through <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/15/3cf334c20ccc52e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm">ALE/IDoc Interface: Application Scenarios</a>

6> What are the roles of an abaper in interface (please give me the steps).

If the interface is standard you do not need to develop any code.

If there are extension you need to prepare the user exits to extract data from tables to fill the idoc and viceversa

By the way your scenario is explained step by step here:

For creating sales documents (sales order) through IDOCS you will have to use the T code WE19. In that click basic type and enter order05(IDOC type) and select via message type then enter ORDERS(message type), click execute.

You will get to see many fields.here you have to enter the datas that you enter in the VA01 screen in order to create sales order. The datas such as material name, date, qty, P.O no etc. After entering all the datas, you click standard inbound the IDOC would be created by the system.You can see the created order by going in to VA03 screen.

Next time when you create the IDOC, in same tcode WE19 screen, click existing IDOC and enter the IDOC which you created in the above step and just change the P.O no.Sytem will create new sales order through new IDOC

Before doing all you need to maintain the partner profile in T code WE20. For this Discuss with EDI consultant.
