T&e %ain teps in t&e Design of '+E

%he Distribution &ode is a distribution too that stores infor$ation about the fow of

$essages between different syste$s"

A fiter obect ty#e is used in the distribution $ode of the custo$er to i$#ose a seectioncriterion on the $essage (ty#e! arising fro$ the ogic of the syste$" A fiter obect ty#ewith a +aue associated with it is caed a fiter obect

&essage contro is a $echanis$ by which the docu$ents are out#ut based on certain

#artner #rofies8 E5 for Custo$er, LI for =endor, - for -ank, and LS for Logica

IDOC Definition

An inter$ediate docu$ent (IDOC! is a container for distributing 7 a##ication data

a$ong between 7, 7/ and non)SAP syste$s"

AL uses IDocs to exchange data between ogica syste$s" 6on)SAP syste$s can use

these IDocs" In the standard interface for data transfer, IDocs are created by $essage

ty#es and &ethods when data is to be distributed" %he ty#e of $essage is the for$at inwhich data for a business #rocess is trans$itted eectronicay"

%ore info a(out t&e IDOC



An IDoc re#resents a configuration of an Idoc %y#e that deter$ines the IDoc structure"

An IDoc consists of a header, se+era data seg$ents and status records" %he functions of

the indi+idua ee$ents of an IDoc are as foows8%he contents, structure, sender, recei+er and current status of the IDoc are defined in the

IDoc header"

ach data seg$ent contains a standard header consisting of a se@uentia seg$entnu$ber, a descri#tion of the seg$ent ty#e and a 2000 character ong string fied

IDOC

What is IDOC

• IDC ! Intermediate Document

• IDC is simpl" a data container used to e#chan$e information %etween an" twoprocesses that can understand the s"nta# and semantics of the data.

• &hen we e#ecute an outbound '() or )DI *rocess+ an IDC is created

• In an inbound '() or )DI process+ an IDC serves as input to create an applicationdocument.

• In the ,'* ,"stem+ IDCs are stored in database.

• )ver" IDC has an unique number -within a client.

• IDCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.-,'*to,'* as wellas 0on,'*

• IDCs are %ased on )DI standards+ '0,I ',C 12 and EDIFAC. In case of an"conflict in data sie+ it adopts one with $reater len$th

• IDCs are independent of the direction of data e#chan$e e.$. 4D)4,5:*urchasin$ module : In%ound and ut%ound

• IDCs can %e viewed in a te!t editor . Data is stored in character format instead of%inar" format.

IDOC Components

"asic ID#C ype $%e&'(

• asic IDC 7"pe defines the structure and format of the %usiness document that is to%e e#chan$ed.

• IDC 7"pe has a

8 specific name

8 list of permitted se$ments

8 hierarch" of se$ments

8 mandator"/optional se$ments



8 minimum/ma#imum ran$e of each se$ment.

Segments

• ,e$ment defines the format and structure of a data record. ,e$ments are reusa%lecomponents.

• 9or each se$ment ,'* creates

8 ,e$ment 7"pe -version independent

8 ,e$ment Definition -version dependent

8 ,e$ment Documentation

• 7he last 3 characters is the version of the se$ment

• Definitions keep chan$in$ as per the version %ut the se$ment t"pe remains the same

IDOC Run-Time Components

• 'n IDC is an instance of an IDC 7"pe

• 't run time the followin$ events occur

8 ' unique IDC no. is allocated %" ,'*

8 ne control record is attached to the IDC

8 ,e$ments translate into data records

8 ,tatus records are attached

8 ,"nta# rules are checked.

• )ach IDC has 3 parts

8 Control 4ecord

8 Data 4ecord

8 ,tatus 4ecord

• &e52 or &e5

Control )ecord



• 'll control record data is stored in )DIDC ta%le. 7he ke" to this ta%le is the IDC0um%er

• It contains information like IDC num%er+ sender+ recipient information+ channel it isusin$+ which port it is usin$ etc.

Data )ecord

• Data record contains application data like emplo"ee header info+ weekl" details+ clientdetails etc

• 'll data record data is stored in )DI;DD<5 ta%le and )DI;DD

Status )ecord

• ,tatus record are attached to an IDC at ever" milestone or when it encounter errors.

• 'll status record data is stored in )DID= ta%le.

Where and How IDOC is created

&here and >ow an IDC is created?

• (ets take an e#ample to understand this:

• &henever a *urchase rder -* is created we want to send the IDC to a vendor.

• 7he * is sent in the form of an IDC to the vendor -partner. 7hat partner has to %e)DI ena%led in that s"stem.. ,'* should realie that it could send doc to this vendor

electronicall". -Creatin$ a vendor is not sufficient. *artner *rofile should %e )DI ena%ledi.e. ' partner profile should e#ist in the sap s"stem.

• @uotation+ 49@+ *+ ,+ Invoice+ deliver" challan etc are some of the commonl"e#chan$ed documents throu$h IDCs

• &e create onl" one profile for %oth in%ound and out%ound IDCs.

• *artner profile should contain messa$e t"peAAto %e a%le to e#chan$e the IDC.

• &e define partner t"pe+ partner function and messa$e t"pe -it distin$uish if an IDC is
