EDI (EDIFACT) & XI

[Former Member]

HI

1.What is the Idoc type used for an incoming EDIFACT message IFTMIN. I need to create a Sales order using an incoming IFTMIN message, for a logistic service provider.

2.What is the best way to recieve or send EDI messages from R/3 through XI?

Rachana-

For creating sales order from IFTMIN you can use Message type ORDERS and IDOC type ORDERS05. Let me know if you need help with the mapping in XI for the same.

Thanks

Hi KK

I'm using the ORDERS05 idoc type to create a sales order from IFTMIN.

I needed some help with the mapping in XI.

Do you have an email id where I could contact you?

Thanks & Regards

A message mapping can be used,for it

Refer the mapping weblog, for sales order with ORDERS01/ORDERS05

Hi Rachana.

There are a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.

inbound EDI to R3

-

---

1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.

outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system

-

---

1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)

2.use a file adapter\3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.

Details on how to configure can be found on SDN
