send IDOC (XML format) using SFTP to non-SAP system

[former_member214101]

Hi friends,

I have a requirement where i have to use the basic idoc type INVOIC01, message type INVOIC to create an invoice IDOC & convert to XML format. Then i have to use the SFTP to send the XML Idoc to a non-sap system. Through R&D i came to know that SAP does not support SFTP, is it true? if so what are the other options that i can use to get the requirement done? i need your valuable suggestions..

Hello Uma,

You can convert the IDOC to XML with the help of function module IDOC_XML_TRANSFORM copy by referring to the below document.

Conversion of IDoc to XML File (Handy Tool) - Process Integration - SCN Wiki

For connecting to FTP server and transferring files. use the below function modules in sequence.

HTTP_SCRAMBLE

FTP_CONNECT

FTP_R3_TO_SERVER

FTP_DISCONNECT

Refer to (Source Code for Uploading a text file to an FTP Server based on DATA from the SAP System[FrontEnd]) the below link for the same.

The SAPFTP Library - FTP Programming in ABAP - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki
