Hi,

Use FM : IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY to read the IDOC data and then use OPEN DATASET to create file from IDOC data.

Use FM :IDOC_INBOUND_FROM_FILE to create inbound IDOC from file.

Develop custom FM to post this Inbound IDOC.

Hi,

You can configure(WE20) the Outbound IDoc to a receiver port with a physical directory in your SAP Directories (AL11).

From where you can download and make the necessary changes .

To post it back to the system you can use the below FM

'IDOC_INBOUND_WRITE_TO_DB' and

'IDOC_START_INBOUND'

First one will post and the second one will trigger the processing.

Hi,

I have followed your steps, and use physical directory 'EDI_GLOBAL'. When I save purchase order document, an IDoc created, but I get an error like that

"The IDoc '0000000000653068' created was to be sent. An error occurred : 'Write file'".

Can you tell me where the problem locate?

Thanks

Alex
