To use IDOC or SRM?

[Former Member]

Hello -

I have a scenario where i have Purchase Orders created in R/3 through SRM. Until i found the pre-delivered content i thought to use IDOCS in R/3 to generate my xml file output.

Now, my question is which option should i go with

1) R/3 using IDOCs and map it to xml file

2) SRM - use the predelivered content in XI and map it to xml file.

Is there any preferred method?

If its SRM what would be my adapter type and how would i trigger the sender to test my SRM-> XI -> File output.

Thanks,

Tiru

Hi,

If there is no customization in the Idoc or not in the target file, directly go with SRM predeilivered content in XI. ANd if you require any transformation, then use Idoc to File Scneario concept.

<i>**If its SRM what would be my adapter type and how would i trigger the sender to test my SRM-> XI -> File output</i>.

Are you getting PO from SRM ? Because we have similar scenario, an dwe are getting PO from R/3. ..

Anyway it is like Idoc to File only for XI is concerened. Once PO is triggered it will come to XI as defined in the RFC Destination/Logical system etc.
