XML to FlatFile IDOC

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement that needs to map a custom XML structure to an IDOC via graphical message mapping. The pitch here is, if I'm not mistaken, the IDOC is a custom one and not SAP standard.

I would like to ask if there is a way to write the result of the mapping (target IDOC format) into the native IDOC flatfile structure.

Thanks in advance!

just to clarify, for graphical mapping it doesn't matter if the idoc is a custom one or not. You just import the idoc-structure from the SAP-system into PI, and then can use it as source or target message type in graphical mapping.

Hi,

sure it's possible but the easiest way would not not to use graphical mapping but to do in

any of the languages mappings (ABAP, java) - there you can model the lines as IDOC segments and just populate them

and use file adapter to create the IDOC flatfile from each of the segment lines

if the custom IDOC is not very complicated it's max 1 day of work - maybe less
