S4HANA - send updates only with changed fields while generate IDOC / proxy

[yeshuaq]

Hi Experts,

we had a requirement where we need to send delta changes only with the modified field values only instead of trigger entire record values in IDoc while generated.

for example: Order update will have 50 fields and only 2/3 fields were modified. so instead of triggers entire IDOC, we need to trigger IDOC with only modified line item fields along with header segment.

Is this functionality available in S4 as a standard option or we need to do customization? please provide steps to achieve this functionality.

Thank you

I'm not aware of any standard functionality that only supplies changed fields for IDocs. It would also be impossible in the case of XML based IDocs to send changes when a field is changed from a value to blank because the field won't be created in the XSLT.
