Hi,

ORDE calls the function IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS. This function has a user exit EXIT_SAPLVEDA_011. See if you can use this exit to meet your requirement.

Setting a billing block is setting the FAKSP field to X in VBAP. VBAP is available in the user exit interface.

Hi Kiran ,

the issue here is there is no field in the idoc structure to capture the value .

i think then we will have to extend the Idoc it seems .

I thought u had to update the field based on some conditions which would be evaluated in SAP.

If the decision to block the order is happening outside SAP then you need to find a field in the IDoc which corresponds to the billing block and ask the middleware team to update the field when the block has to be set.

hi Kiran ,

I think I know now what is to be done .

Using XI i have mapped the field based on which it will be decided if the billing block is to be done or not , into the header text segment of the IDOC.

We can use the user exit to check this condition and update the field accordingly.

Thanks alot for ur help
