IDOC error

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am new to XI and was playing around with it.Was sending an ORDER IDOC from a source Sap system to a target SAP system.

Did the design in IR.Did mapping for the required fields in message mapping(with some dummy values) and all the things that needs to be done in ID.

I tested this process by sending an IDOC from the source system to the target system.XI monitoring tools showed that everything went along well and the IDOC was send to the target system.

When I checked the target system for the IDOC,the IDOC was there.But there was this red icon showing that it had some errors.

All the required fields for the IDOC was filled with dummy values in XI.

Then why is it showing error on the target SAP sytem....

Thanks

Iam not at my working computer.Will have to check the status next week.

Could u make any guesses

Does the target systems expects any additional information in the IDOC,which were not given while message mapping in xi.

Just curious to know.Cant wait until next week

Hey

There could be several reasons that IDOC didn't post in the receiver system.

Its possible that values in line item don't exist in receiver system.

Since its order its possible that customer ID is missing in ECC.You need to get in touch with functional people and see why it failed.

From PI's perspective it has successfully posted,now its upto the functional team to decide what got left behind.

Thanks Aamir,

1 basic question though.On Receiving the IDOC on the target sytem,what does the system do?

>>what does the system do?

as you may have seen,IDOC contains nodes (for e.g E1EDKT01,EIEDKT02 ,KUNNR etc etc),these nodes basically represent some field in a table in ECC.

Once an IDOC reaches receiver SAP systems,these fields are populated,if you know which node will populate which field of table you can check Se16 to make sure that those values went in the tables.

Orders05 uses tables like VBAK,VBAP etc

Thanks
