Do you know how to find the IDOC number of a vendor invoice?

[Ana_hilgert]

On some occasions to analyze an invoice it was necessary to find out the IDOC number responsible for posting this document.

In cases where you do not know the source of the IDOC there are two alternatives to find out this document, in which I will present in the sequence either via MIR4 or via database access.

1) MIR4.

First, ensure that your user has authorization to dialog process. To change this attribute, see more details in KBA 3294556 .

When opening an invoice in display mode, access the menu Relantionship using GOS button - it is the icon in the top left of the screen named "Services for Object"

It will bring a pop-up with the IDOC number linked to the invoice document.

2) SRRELROLES table.

Due to security rules, sometimes it is not possible to change users or its access the GOS menu in MIRO.

Therefore, if you have authorization to display tables, you can perform the steps below:

#1. When accessing transaction SE16, search for table SRRELROLES and enter the data

OBJKEY: invoice number no+fiscal year
OBJTYPE: BUS2081

E.g:
OBJKEY               OBJTYPE   ROLETYPE    UTCTIME
51065227262023 BUS2081   INBELEG       20,240,214,230.034

#2. COPY the UTCTIME valu

#3. Enter it in a new search by:

OBJTYPE: IDOC
ROLETYPE: INIDOC
UTCTIME: copied from the previous step

E.g:
OBJKEY                 OBJTYPE ROLETYPE UTCTIME
0000000061722349 IDOC     INIDOC       20,240,214,230.034
0000000061776014 IDOC     INIDOC       20,240,214,230.034

#4. Search on the BD87 the IDOC by OBJKEY number found in the step 3 to find which was with status 53 created the invoice

I hope this blog helps you find the EDI number to troubleshoot your scenario easily.
