Customer Exit to change idoc_status[] in FM 'IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1' for idoc type DESADV

[Arushi]

I have a requirement to change the idoc status from 51 to 68 for idoc typr DESADV, FM for this idoc is IDOC_INPUT_DESADV1, could you help me with the customer exit to make this change?

An exit doesn't exist for this purpose which would leave implicit enhancement, copying or direct modification.

[Ryan-Crosby]

Direct modification is changing standard and is highly advised against. Copying involves identifying the necessary artifacts that need to be copied and adjusted (as necessary). Thought should go into any of these options because they are all terrible come upgrade time, or at any point where support is warranted.

how about calling a program with WAIT time from any exit, then checking the status of idocs for DESADV for a particular day, if status is 51, then change to 68.. 

Is using WAIT time good approach?

Hi Ryan,

What is meant by copying or Direct modification? How can I achieve this requirement?
