Last question on ALE and VA01 : how link ALE and VA01 ?

[Former Member]

My aim is to send via ALE sales orders when created with transaction VA01 or when modified with transaction VA02.

I have done a lot of customizing and create module function and so and so.

Now what I don't know is how it's working! When I create a sales order with transaction VA01, what I have to do, to make a relationship between transaction VA01 and my IDOC?

It's automatic and I have forgotten some customizing?

Use an Use exit to call the Module function?

Create a workflow on events ?

Or ????

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.

If some one have a little solution, wellcome

Hi Henri,

You don't need to go to BDBG path ... to generate IDoc via VA01/VA02. You can use standard SAP IDoc processing as I mentioned in your previous thread.

It is easy and no custom development needed.

Just need some ALE and IDoc configuration.

Please follow my steps (if you want).

Please let me know if you need further assistant.

Hi Ferry,

May be I am stupid, but sometimes I would like to understand what is the mecanism which make that when I create a order, ALE is sending to RFC destination.

I read all yours steps, but I don't see where the link is made !

I will read all yours links again and I hope I will understand.

Best regards

Hi Henri,

Ferry is right in his earlier message.

The link is made through output processing. You create an output type wich has a processing type ALE. When the order is created or changed the output determination creates an output record of this type in your sales order. When this record is processed an Idoc is made.

I hope this helps in understanding the mechanism.

Hi Pim

Thank a lot for your mail. I know that Ferry is right, but ALE on this way is new for me. Before I am using Change pointer or ALE via ABAP program. So I have no problem. But here in this transactionnal ALE, my understanding is small. For example, I Have created a Module function to populate IDOC, I don't know where it's used, called. How to fill import parameters!

I will work on the chapter OUTPUT TYPE.

Best regards

Henri
