  1. Mass Processing


Transaction Code WLF_IDOC can be used to carry out mass changes.

Scenario – Assume you have to make changes in 300 fields in IDOC. Here we will make change of Tax code in IDOC. Most of screenshots are highlighted with blue colour to maintain data integrity.

  1. Go to WE02 and give the IDOC number to be modified.





  1. Upon execution, below screen will appear. Now we will change the values for E1EDK04, field MWSKZ. This is tax code. Contents are covered but if you see its 1.



Double Click on below icon left to E1EDK04




  1. Below screen will appear. This is very important. We need to take values from this screen and paste in WLF_IDOC screen for processing. Only than changes will take effect.



     4. Go to WLF_IDOC tcode and give the IDOC number. Execute.

5. Take the values from 3rd screen and enter in below fields. Execute.

Note - If you have multiple values to change in one idoc, keep number of SAP segment field blank.

For eg. In one idoc, if you have 100 cost center to change,  Number of SAP segment field should be  kept blank. This will change all cost centers in IDOC. When you put number it will change only that number cost center and not others


6. Once executed, if data entered above are correct below screen will appear. Means data are processed and changed.

7. Below screen will appear.

  1. Now go to WE02 and check the IDOC. If you see, MWSKZ is changed to 2. Tax code is changed.



 

2. Foreground Processing

Go to BD87. Give the IDOC number. Click Execute


Below error will appear.


Click on edit and select Restrict and Process.


In below screen remove background processing. Execute.


Below screen will appear.


Again click on edit and click on process. Select Foreground processing.


Below screen will appear. Now you can change the fields you want to change. This is similar to LSMW foreground processing.


Idoc will be posted.


   3. Changing field in idoc.

Go to WE05. Identify the field you want to Change. Take the arrow on the field highlighted below and double click. This is very tricky.


It will take you to next screen.  Select Change.


Change the field and save.


    4. Idoc Status Change

Go to programme RC1_IDOC_SET_STATUS. Give the idoc number and give the values to be changed.


Execute in test run. Below message will appear. If you are ok with the result, remove test run and execute.


Status is changed.


     5. BD87 - Idoc Reprocessing.

Go to BD87. Give the idoc number in error. Execute. Below screen will appear. Select the option highlighted and execute.


Document will be posted.


  6. Idoc Export/Import

Go to WE19. Give idoc number and execute


Below screen will appear. Click on Inbound file. Uncheck ‘Start Idoc inbound processing of file immediately’.

Message will be received as Idoc Save to file.


GO to CG3Y. Give the name to export this to file. Name should start with .\ and should end with .txt. In Target file on front end, select the folder.


Below I have created the folder with my name. I have created file name idoc123.txt


Once you select the folder and file to import, below message will appear. Click on Yes.


Idoc transfer message will appear.
