Hi,

The above links are useful to know about IDOC and BAPI/RFC.

Please go through below links to know about IDOC configuration in more details

How To Configure IDoc Adapters

Configurations required for IDocs in R/3

In your XI system, you need to do the following.

1. Create a RFC destination to your R/3 system

2. Create a port in IDX1 of your XI system and use the RFC destination in step1.

3. Try importing a idoc metadata thru idx2 transaction to check whether the configuration is correct.

4. In your SLD configure the technical system and business system. The technical system should hold the logical system name you have in your R/3 system client.

5. Import the business system and you can use it in your configuration scenario.

Thanks
