Idoc generation

[Former Member]

Dear Seniors,

I am very new to this IDOC concepts. So kindly tell me,

1) When IDOC will be generated ? where we can see that ? for ex: if i am sending a purchase order to vendor,when IDOC will be generated and where we can see that in purchase order?

2) Whether IDOC will be generated manually or automatically? where we will do number arrangement for that?

Regards,

Hi,

1) When IDOC will be generated ? where we can see that ? for ex: if i am sending a purchase order to vendor,when IDOC will be generated and where we can see that in purchase order?

It depends upon how the configuration is done in your system. It can be created moment a PO is created in the system or can be sent at the end of the day by a background job schduled in the night. You can see the idocs created in tcode WE02 or WE09.

In PO Display you can see them under Services of Object button above Document Overview On if it is enabled in your system.

2) Whether IDOC will be generated manually or automatically? where we will do number arrangement for that?

Idocs can be generated both manually and automatically. Number ranges are created in SNRO for object EDIDOC. Hope it solved your queries.

Dear Seniors,

If i had set IDOC should be created once the PO is been saved. How do i come to know that, this IDOC is created for this purchase order in WE02 or WE05 ???

Hi,

GO to WE09 and enter Idoc type as ORDERS05 also creation date as today's date.

In the last section of selection screen give Search in Segment as E1EDK01 and Search in Field as BELNR

and for value as your PO. You can also use F4 help on selection screen.

Hi Jana,

when idoc was generated , first you can see at message control for ouptut type idoc is generated properlu or not..

next you can go to se16>enter table nast>enter the object ket and output type which is there in otuput type for the

trnasction and execute..

or go to t-code we02 or we05--> execute you can see the idoc generated newly..

idoc number is sytem generated it contains sequence , you can not determine number arrangement for that..
