Did you ask your functional guys in what format they want idoc/RFc/proxy.?

If idoc then ask for mapping spec,which you have do in mapping tool of XI

if RFC import the RFC and do the mapping and send it

if Proxy need to generate a proxy after defining message type

Hello ,

Possibilities of communication to R/3 is

1. Idoc

2. RFC

3. proxy(WAS >=6.20)

If you want to insert data to table that can be done through RFC provided it has been developed in R/3 and been given to it for ur scenario.

Hi,

ask your functional guys whether there is a standard IDOC or RFC for posting this data.........if there is a standard IDOC for it, then use it.................if not, then if there is RFC for it, then use it.......otherwise create a custom table in R/3 and populate it with ABAP proxy in r/3.

Hi,

You can check whether you have a standard RFC or not, if not you need to create a custom RFC first in SAP R/3 and the import that into your Integration repository in XI.

Then follow these steps provided in the link:
