FM ''MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' & BD64

[Former Member]

I am following these IDoc creation steps.

IDOC Steps - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

I have tried to ignore the BD64 step and run the program, I found I still success in creating an outbound IDoc.

So what is BD64 used for?

And is it a way to distribute communication IDoc directly by skipping the Message Control?

If I want to go through Message Control to distribute an outbound IDoc, how can I do it?

Have a look at this thread on BD64.  It has a lot of helpful information. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1266740

Essentially BD64 is what you need to do in order to setup the receiver/sender information and message type in order to distribute the iDoc to external systems.

Did you checked in BD64 for the message type you are distributing. Might be the entry already exists for the message type you are using for sender and receiver system.

Hi, in my program, I use a different partner name which is not defined in BD64.

You are going to need to setup that partner within BD64.
