Hi Ravi kumar,

IDocs:

IDocs (Intermediate Documents) are the root of ALE. These are the documents with the help of which data is exchanged between SAP R/3 and non-R/3 systems. As the name suggests, these documents act as intermediate storage of information, which can be sent bi-directionally. Message types are responsible for creation of Idocs.

An IDoc is made up of the following parts:

1.Control Record: This section contains control information regarding the Idoc. Its constituents are Senderu2019s name, Receiver name, Message type and Idoc type .The format of the control record is similar for all IDoc types.

2.Data Segment: It consists of a header that contains the identity of the Idoc. Its constituents include, a sequential segment number, a segment type description and field containing the actual data of the segment.

3.Status records: The status record shows the information regarding the already processed stages and remaining processing stages of the Idoc. It has an identical format for each IDoc type.

An IDOC has only 1 control record and more than one Data and status record.

Idoc can viewed at WE02, WE05 and we09 transaction.

There are 2 types of idocs.

One is basic idoc which is standard idoc by SAP.

Few examples of Standard IDOC:

When we refer the types of IDocs we use in ALE while transferring the Material Master data, Customer Master data, Vendor Master Data, and BOM data is given below.

Example:

Material Master-MATMAS

VENDOR Master- CREMAS

CUSTOMER Master- DEBMAS

BOM (Bill Of Material)- BOMMAT.

Other is extended idoc where we create a structure and insert it into existing idoc structure.

Few examples of Extending an idoc:

1. When your customers want date and invoice number on advanced shipment notice document.

2. Suppose you are sending sales order data to legacy but your legacy system requires some engineering details in addition. In this case you extend your basic idoc with this new engineering information fields.

ALE:

ALE stands for Application Link Enabling and is a remote connection technology allowing the decentralization of business processes by connecting decentralized systems together.

Please just search ALE, IDOC in SDN.You will find a lot of information .

Hi ravi kumar chandragiri ,

Basically Idocs are data containers,which are having perticuler structure for that specific purpose.

for example to transfer material master data to some other application ,there we use MATMAS idoc.

same like we have many Idoc structures( Aprx around 2000).If you want to see each individual structure you can find it using..

T-Code WE60 we can find Idoc name ,purpose and also Structure.

Hi,

There are basically two types of IDOCs.

Basic IDOCs

Extended IDOCs

Idoc Components

Basic Idoc

Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.

Extension Idoc

Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.

Creation of IDoc

To Create Idoc we need to follow these steps:

Create Segment ( WE31)

Create Idoc Type ( WE30)

Create Message Type ( WE81)

Assign Idoc Type to Message Type ( WE82)

Creating a Segment

Go to transaction code WE31

Enter the name for your segment type and click on the Create icon

Type the short text

Enter the variable names and data elements

Save it and go back

Go to Edit -> Set Release

Follow steps to create more number of segments

Create IDOC Type

Go to transaction code WE30

Enter the Object Name, select Basic type and click Create icon

Select the create new option and enter a description for your basic IDOC type and press enter

Select the IDOC Name and click Create icon

The system prompts us to enter a segment type and its attributes

Choose the appropriate values and press Enter

The system transfers the name of the segment type to the IDOC editor.

Create IDOC Type

Follow these steps to add more number of segments to Parent or as Parent-child relation

Save it and go back

Go to Edit -> Set release

Create Message Type

Go to transaction code WE81

Change the details from Display mode to Change mode

After selection, the system will give this message u201CThe table is cross-client (see Help for further info)u201D. Press Enter

Click New Entries to create new Message Type

Fill details

Save it and go back

Assign Message Type to IDoc Type

Go to transaction code WE82

Change the details from Display mode to Change mode

After selection, the system will give this message u201CThe table is cross-client (see Help for further info)u201D. Press Enter.

Click New Entries to create new Message Type.

Fill details

Save it and go back

Thanks,
