How to generate IDOCs for HR Master data

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi experts,

when we want to send any HR Master data to some third party system, do we ever use process code and its related function module to convert the application data into idoc file ? If tht is the case, I want to knw what is the selection program and posting program that are used for outbound and inbound HR idocs.

If not, what converts the application file to idoc file in HR ? In this process, is that mandatory to use change pointers also ?

Please clear this concept .. any kind of help is rewarded..

Thank you in advance.

Sirisha.

Hi for HR master data..

PFAL is the posting Tcode.

HRMD_A is the message type

HTMD_A06 is the IDoc Basic Type

Process code is HRMD...

You want to send Master data from SAP to outside. SO no need to use Process code and FM's.

DO the settings like partner profiles..etc to send the data from SAP to 3rd Party system. if you use message type as HRMD_A then in PFAL the destination system details will come in F4 automatiCALLY.

you can directly send data by executing PFAL with proper inputs.

Hi Jyothi,

Thanks for your prompt reply. your reply is helpful to me... But still the concept is little bit vague... here is the procedure tht I learn t from ppl... Please correct me if I am wrong...

Instead of EDI, we use ALE to generate the IDocs...n that logical system configuration you do it in SALE and SM59 .... I heard later you create a distribution model in BD64 where we give the message type and infotypes that we need to transfer... After this we configure the partner profile... but no idea how we configure the partner profile for ALE ... ( Partner type... Message Control.. etc etc ).. Later Instead of using CHANGE POINTERS... I heard we develop a report where we can call the function module <b> master_idoc_distribute </b> to force the EDIDC n EDIDD data to generate an idoc.... Is this procedure correct !!!

Please tell me the clear step by step procedure to generate and idoc...

Thank you in advance...
