Mandatory fields in idoc in file to idoc scenerio

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

in a File to Idoc scenerio, can you tell me what all mandatory fields are required to be populated in the EDI_DC40.

In my scenerio, I see fields like

segment

Tabname

mandt

direct

idoctyp

mestyp

sndpor

sndprt

sndprn

rcvpor

rcvprt

rcvprn.

But I wanted to know, what are the mandatory once without which we cannot populate the idoc and update the database

Regarrds,

Srini,

I agree with you,in my scenerio, i am using an idoc WPUUMS01. I get to see what all mandatory fields are req in this idoc to be filled. But I gotta know, what all data in EDI_DC40 structure needs to be populated !..I donno what is the segment for taht, but yes definitely these are the mandatory Control data !!

Pls comment, with reference to the EDI_DC40 structure, as in my File to idoc scenerio, i gotta populate taht with constant values, along with the idoc WPUUMS01!

The complete segment EDIDC_40 is not mandatory. It is directly filled at runtime by the idoc adapter. Only if you want to map some data in it from the file, then you have to fill it up. Otherwise just disable the segment and proceed with the scenario.

Hi Prateek,

I just wanted to confirm once again, in a file to idoc scenerio, you mean to say , I can simply keep the edidc_40 structure empty/disabled , and the idoc adapter[in the receiver agreement] will do the rest!

I am asking you this repeatedly because in an interview, last I came to know threre are three fields in this structure that is mandatorty to be filled up else the file data won't reach R/3.

I will close the forum once u reply.Expecting your reply!

Regards,

Arnab
