Hi Vasu,

There is no BAPI message type but there is BAPI process code.

If you want to know about BAPI/ALE integration, please check this links.

Hi Ferry,

I have studied the URL you have given to earlier, that document gives me the steps to create new BAPI_ALE. I would like to set up the ALE using BAPI object type BUS10010 and method Savedata to create material master data.

Kindly can you give me steps how to set up this configuration.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vasu,

Please try this.

1. Create distribution model (BD64) for message type MATMAS_BAPI.

2. Create inbound partner profile (WE20) for message type MATMAS_BAPI and IDoc type MATMAS_BAPI01 and process code BAPI.

3. Create IDoc ports (WE21)

4. Setup RFC destination (SM59).

Hope this will help to start with.

Hi Ferry,

Thanks for your reply, I have done the steps you have suggested - can you help me how to populate data into MATMAS_BAPI01 Idoc type - for example we use BD10 to pupulate data into MATMAS05 Idoc type if I use MATMAS as message type.

Thanks in advance

With regards

Hi Vasu,

You can not use message type MATMAS_BAPI01 for BD10.

You can use message type MATMAS, IDoc type MATMAS05 and process code MATM for the inbound process.

For outbound process, you can use message type MATMAS, IDoc type MATMAS05.

Again, hope this will help.

Hi Ferry,

I know that we can use BD10 only for message type MATMAS.

Can you say how to populate data into MATMAS_BAPI01 - is there any standard program SAP has provided which i can use to populate the data into Idoc.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

If I understand your question properly, you want to test your ALE settings for the Inbound IDOC . If this is true, go to transaction code WE19->basic IDOC type ->MATMAS_BAPI01 and Execute. The next screen allows you to populate your test data in each of the fields related to various segments. You may fill the mandatory fields and then click 'Standard Inbound' button.

Hope this helps.

Hi Vasu,

I am not aware any standard program to populate IDoc MATMAS_BAPI01.

Usually, it is done in middleware/translator system lile SAP XI, Gentran and etc.

This IDoc is used for inbound process purpose only.

Why do you need to use MATMAS_BAPI01 for BD10? Any specific reason?
