How to Reduce HRMD_A IDOC?

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We need to reduce the HRMD_A idoc. We have taken the following steps:

1- created message type ZHRMD_A using transaction BD53 (Idoc reduction maintenance) wit reference to HRMD_A message type

2- Activated the segments and fields of the required segments

3- Activated change pointers using the “Active Change Pointers” push button on the initial screen of BD53

We can see that our ZHRMD_A message type is active in table TBDA2 (using transaction BD50. Message type HRMD_A is still active in the same table.

When we run transaction BD21 (to evaluate change pointers) with message type ZHRMD_A, we do not get any idocs created. However BD21 will generate idocs when run with HRMD_A message type.

Are we missing a step in our configuration?

We are on ERP 2005 (WAS 7:00) SPS 6

Thx/Farshad

Hi Fatin,

Instead of reducing the Idoc, u can use XSD of the idoc by reducing the idoc .... After importing the idoc click Tools--> Export reduced XSD...

Now u can import this XSD in external definitions and use this one instead of usin the idoc...

Hope it may help u....

Hi Sridhar,

Thanks for your reply. But what will happen if the ERP system sends an idoc to XI with segments that are not defined in the imported XSD? Wouldn't XI create an error message in this case.
