Hi Friends,

We are sending customer idoc (INVOIC02) from R/3 to external system through PI. We want to generate EDIFACT output file (message type : INVOIC).

Is it possible to convert IDoc message to EDI file format through java adapter module ? Will adapter module support this without using Seeburger adapter ?

kindly clarify, friends.

Kind regards,

Jegathees P.

Hi Jeg,

Instead of going to custom develop adapter module, you can us content conversion module provided by SAP.

There is an alternative to Seeburger.

DataDirect also has complete EDI-XML conversion by way of deploying a module which is called from an adapter. The range of parameters with the conversion is also quite extensive, allowing tolerance for partners who may have included non-standard EDI qualifiers and such. The XML tags make for easier mapping. StylusStudio XML Suite includes the EDI<->XML adapter so you can try the conversions each way directly in that package. If you are happy with it, you need to then purchase the package from DataDirect. We did this and implemented EDI for X12 and EDIfact, including Orders and Invoices and some other messages. The communications part was not included. We wrote the EDI files and used a separate process to actually send and receive the files. The IDoc <-> EDI mapping was done using the normal graphical mapping of SAP PI. The Stylus Studio package includes the functionality to generate the XSD, which we imported to SAP PI.

it's impossible to do XML to EDI without custom adapter module from seeburger,or without a vendor middleware between PI and EDI system...
