Hi All,

Can We Add Some More Fileds To the Imported IDOC ??

If I Imported IDOC to IR. But I Want to Add Some More Fields To IDOC.

Then Can I Go For this Process ??? Is This is Correct ???

Please Correct Me If Iam Going Wrong

1) Open the Imported IDOC in IR

2) Export it as XSD File in to your Local Machine

3) Add Necessary Fields & Save it

4) Come to IR And Import it into external definition

Is this is the Correct way of Doing ???

If Not What is the Problem in Doing This ??

Hello Vamsi,

That is NOT the correct way to play around with IDOCs.

the correct way is to create an enhancement to an exiting IDOC (this is done on the SAP R/3 side) after you craeted an enhancment you reimport the IDOC in XI from the R/3 and then you have a new structure with the new fields you need.

worst case scenario you can define a new IDOC type just with the fields you need.

you can check out the SAP library at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/0b/2a60bb507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm

on how to do that.

Have a good one,
