End to end Process Integrity..

[Former Member]

Hi All,

While syndicating article from MDM to SAP ,How can we do an integrity check ..

E.g XML is sent from MDM and converted to IDoc (via XI)..in both steps XML passes and IDOC is sent to SAP ..But the IDOC fails in SAP ..

How can we ensure that end to end process is pased?

Hi Vikrant,

Dealing with the integration of MDM with R3, as far as I know there is no standard way to ensure the end to end parsing of the IDOCs.

If you want to see the status of the IDOCs you can check the runtime workbench in XI.

Also in the R3 side you can execute the TCODE we02 or we05.This will enlist the errors or warnings which you need to resolve in order to post the IDOC successfully.

Hope it helps.

Hi Vikrant,

Basically there are a lot if issues related to the failure of IDOCS syndicated to ECC from MDM.

And most of the times, it is because of the required fields and Segments in ECC which your IDOC should carry. If at all the IDOC does not have those segments and fields, it will fail.

Second reason might be, as Simona has mentioned, due to difference in the Field type. For ex Material Number in ECC is of 18 chars. You need to take care that it does not exceeds in MDM.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Vikrant,

Whenever you are integrating MDM with any SAP or NON-SAP system data flow takes place in the form of Files.

If the data format are in the MDM understandable format then the data exchange can take place smoothly even without the use of XI,however if you are exchanging data in formats like Idocs or Bdocs which are not understandable by MDM then XI comes in the picture for data conversion and data monitoring purposes.

If you data flow in the form of Idocs rae failing then you need to find the reason of failure by using Transactions to monitoring the status of the idocs for eg status 51 will point that there is a problem in the data.

In this way you can test the integration of the scenario using XI in place.

Note that creation of a master by entering into the ERP system like ECC is different than creaating the master through the form of an idoc.There are a lot of mandatory and optional like validations that may not be true in both the cases.

So the only way is by monitoring the idocs flow nad faliure in the ECC system or XI system.

Kindly refer the below thread:
