To create a text field in IDOC

[Former Member]

Hi,

My requirement is The newly configured Text field to contain the NxTrend Po number needs to be available in EDI 850 IDoc for XI maps the value to the field.This field should be available in the IDoc so that the value of end customeru2019s PO can be mapped there.

The changes are only required for NxTrend and do not need to be made for regular EDI customers. The message ID for NxTrend is NXT_ORDERS.

I am new to IDOCS.Can anyone tell me how to create the text field in the IDOC?

Do you store that number in SAP, If yes then in which field( Custom or standard)?. If custom, you need to extend the idoc to populate the field.

We have a similiar scenario and we use the "Your Reference"(IHREZ) field to display the legacy PO number. In this case we dont need to extend the idoc.

This text field is already configured at Sales Order header level and named as end customer PO.The text ID is Z020 and text object is VBBK for this.Now this text field needs to be created in the IDOC.How can I do this?

Hi,

To add a field in the IDOC you need to go for EXTENSION OF IDOC.
