Receiving EDI 997 into SAP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am having trouble understanding how a 997 inbound into SAP would be reflected in the system (we are receiving a 997 from the vendor based on a PO we send out)

1. Where would the 997 be reflected in the PO? Would this be a new confirmation category under the 'Confirmation' tab?

2. What basic idoc type/message type would be used?

Thanks for the help!!

Hi Raam,

Thank you for the quick response! I still don't understand where on the PO the functional acknowledgement is captured. Any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Hello Tiffanie

The EDI 997 message is a functional acknowledgment which corresponds to an acknowledgement IDoc in SAP. This acknowledgment is reflected in the EDI/ALE status of the outbound IDoc.

Example:

I created a purchase order and sent it as outbound ORDERS.ORDERS05 IDoc (no = 414840).

For this outbound IDoc I created an inbound ALEAUD IDoc. Processing the acknowledgement IDoc (WE19, inbound fm IDOC_INPUT_ALEAUD) Idoc 414840 received an additional status 41 = Application document created in target system.

To be honest I do not know whether this IDoc acknowlegement is somehow reflected in the original purchase order but I doubt this is the case.

The ALEAUD01 IDoc looked like this:

• Header E1ADHDR:

• MESTYP ORDERS

• MESTYP_LNG ORDERS05

• Status E1STATE:

• DOCNUM 0000000000414840

• STATUS 53

• STATXT DOCUMENT PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY IN APPLICATION

• STAMQU SAP

• STAMID IDOC_ADPAPTER

• STAMNO 000
