Determine the appropriate IDOC to use

Former Member

Hello:

Quick question for you experienced developers:

If I know a table and the fields within the table that I will need to update, is there a way for me to find (any) associated IDOC that may be available to update the table and the field?

Thank you!

George

No such link is maintained. You can try to see if the data element of your table field is used in any IDoc segment and from there see which Idoc Type uses that segment. But this is not a guaranteed way to find that. If you know the tables, you probably know what object you are talking about or what standard SAP transaction that deals with those fields. May be from there you can try a search based on the description.

The best thing is always to simply post the question here with specific details.

Which table fields are you looking to update?
