idoc extensions (inbound processing)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!

In our project we created an Idoc Extension to interface additional data points required to an external SAP system (idoc-to-idoc scenario), however, since I do not have experience to interface with other SAP systems, I would like to confirm a few assumptions.

Since we have a new idoc structure (extension), we require:

1- create the same idoc extension in the destination system, so both systems understand the message;

2- configure RFC connections, ports, partners (new extension), distribution model;

3- enhance inbound process to read the new segment and perform the required updates.

Can you please confirm my assumptions or there another easy approach to avoid step 1?

Many thanks in advance!

HI,

You can create a segment as the extension structure using the transaction code WE31 and release.

WE30 - create the extension and embind with the message type together,and release.

search the interface program and make the enhancement.

Above all is only for your reference.
