Generate IDOC from SAP BTP CAP app

[arnabdatta3]

Hi Experts,

For one of the requirements, we need to generate a IDOC in SAP ECC system from SAP BTP CAP application. Can you please give any idea how we can achieve it?

I would recommend using Cloud Integration to generate IDocs. You can send a request from your CAP application to Cloud Integration and delegate the IDoc generation to Cloud Integration.

Can you provide any example or blog for this?

Please call this 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' from BTP:-

DATA: control TYPE edidc,
      data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF edidd.

control-mestyp = 'ORDERS'.
control-rcvprn = 'RECEIVER'.
control-sndprn = 'SENDER'.

APPEND VALUE #( segnam = 'E1EDK01' sdata = '...' ) TO data.

CALL FUNCTION 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE'
  EXPORTING
    master_idoc_control = control
  TABLES
    communication_idoc_control = control
    idoc_data_records = data.

Thanks

Hi,

Assuming Cloud connector is in place , at ECC use function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE

FUNCTION Z_TRIGGER_IDOC.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"  Importing  VALUE(I_MATNR) TYPE  MATNR
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

DATA: ls_edidc TYPE edidc,
      lt_edidd TYPE TABLE OF edidd,
      lv_idoc_number TYPE edi_docnum.

CALL FUNCTION 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE'
  EXPORTING
    master_idoc_control = ls_edidc
  TABLES
    communication_idoc_control = lt_edidd
  EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS = 1.

ENDFUNCTION.

and in the CAP application:-

import { executeFunction, rfcDestination } from '@sap-cloud-sdk/rfc';

const destination = await rfcDestination({ destinationName: 'ECC_RFC' });

const response = await executeFunction(destination, {
  functionName: 'Z_TRIGGER_IDOC',
  parameters: {
    I_MATNR: '123456'
  }
});

Thanks,

Arun
