Hi Henri,

This will be a long way ...

First, you need to configure the condition for output control (t/code NACE) for condition record (t/code VV11/VV12), output types (t/code NACT) and procedures and access sequence (if necessary).

Second, you need to configure the ALE distribution (BD64) and partner profile (WE20) for the sales order IDocs.

For more information, please check this links.

Third, you can use standard SAP function module and program to generate the IDocs once the above configuration are done.

Hope this will help and gave fun.

Hi Ferry Lianto,

In a first time, thank a lot for your answer and the links given.

My problem now is more metaphysical, philosophic than seting WExx transaction.

My aim is to send via ALE sales orders when created.

I have created a function to populate and distribute Idocs

but by which action this function will be called during the sales order creation ?

I have used transaction BDBG to link ALE interface and BAPI, WE41 to link process code to function module.

But what I don't see when I create a sale order by VA01 where the junction is done between sale creation and ALE.

Do I have to program an User exit? or making other thing?

If some one have a little solution, wellcome.

Best regards

Hi Henri,

You can use message type <b>ORDERS</b> and IDoc type <b>ORDERS04/05</b> to generate sales orders for inbound processing. For outbound processing, you can use message type <b>ORDRSP</b> and IDoc type <b>ORDERS04/05</b>.

No, you can not use ALE change pointers for sales orders IDoc. The ALE change pointers is only used for Master Data Distribution purposes for examples material master, routing, customer master, vendor master and so on.

The sales orders is part of transactional data.

Hope this will help.
