IDOCS: Segment Definition and Segment Type

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We are working on IDOCs and trying to send a Location Master IDOCs to Third party system.

1. In the IDOC print preview we are in a position to see the IDOC segment type Ex: E1TPLOC but customer is asking for Segment definition E2TPLOC.

When we go through the documentation:

u2022 Segment Type consists of Segment definition with Version and Release.

u2022 Segment Definition will contain the Field names

u2022 E1TPLOC, E1TPDLH, E1KNVAM, E1TPTRM & E1TPSHH Segment types with concerned Segment definitions are

E2TPLOC,E2TPDLH, E2KNVAM

How to see the Segment definition types?

Hi,

You can see the documentation in the transaction WE60 by giving the IDOC Basic type and extension if you have any.

E1 and E2 are the same, when you see the definition of the segment the naming convention will be E2 and when populating the data it will be E1.

I believe he is asking the segment definition alone, you go to WE60 transaction and give the inputs and click the parser button and that will give you the definition of the idoc and which you can share it with your partner.

Thanks,

Mahesh.

Dear Mahesh,

Thanks for your immediate response.

It gives documentation, similar way can we see the processed IDOC where we can see all the segment types as well as segment definitions.

Thanks&Regards
