Other ways to maintain conditions in the receiver determination

[Former Member]

Hello Guru's,

are there other ways to maintain condition in the receiver determination? i'm filtering idocs coming-in from a certain business system going out to a particular receiver system using XPATH (RCVPRN in the IDOC) from the receiver determination..... however, this is well easy to maintain if there are only 5 values to filter, but now i'm already maintaining 100+ values in the condition which made me think not its not already a good solution.

i've already thought of using ERD's as another approach, but this Receiver determination object is being used also by other SCV's and scenarios as well which i think will make confusion to other solution owners as they will not have visibility in my SCV.

Any thoughts/suggestions/recommendation/comments will be highly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Hi Allerin,

Is there is a way to combine the xpaths so that the receiver conditions can be reduced?

e.g

/ZWMMBID1/IDOC/E1MBXYH/E1MBXY/LIFNR = ABCD then route to SAP001

/ZWMMBID1/IDOC/E1MBXYH/E1MBXY/LIFNR = EFGH then route to SAP001

you can combine it to

/ZWMMBID1/IDOC/E1MBXYH/E1MBXYI[(LIFNR = "ABCD") or (LIFNR = "EFGH")]

otherwise, you would have to consult all those solution owners for the use of ERD.

hope this helps,

guess you already have tried the only two solutions

1. xpath evaluation

2. Enhanced RD

On a maintenance front xpath eval vs ERD, is a tough call to take unless that your routing logic is complex in which case ERD would be a better option.

I guess it would be a call for you to take and figure which is much simpler and easy to maintain and most of all readable
