Lookup is possible for IDOC?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am in the need of help in the lookups.

Here is my situation:

I want to get a data from the SAP tables and do some logic in the mapping and need to use the message mapping.

I am using the IDOC for my target end. I read some of the blogs and with my understanding we can use DB lookup, RFC lookup and SOAP lookup.

What about is we use IDOC? Is it possible to use in IDoc?

If it is possible can you guide me.

Thanks,

Jane.

Jane,

Yes you can. It's not dependant on what receiving system u are using, instead it depends on where u r looking up the data. For example, if the data u are lookin for is available in DB system then u need to do JDBC lookup. If the data is available in R/3 then u've to do RFC lookup.

Hope it clears!
