Update 2 Infotypes with File-->XI-->Idoc

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I need to design an interface where XI picks up an inbound flatfile (csv). For each Infotype 2 update scenarios are possible based upon certain values in the ff. In total there are 4 update scenarios (2 for each IT).

I'm pretty new to XI and need some guidance on how to tackle this.

I've read that for updates to 2 seperate IT one need to use 2 idocs. One for each IT.

Once the idocs are created, is the use of FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION the way to go ??

Much appreciated...

Hi John,

First of all decide the Idoc structure. Based on that you need to go further.

For each IT if you want to update, it is not required to have 2 idocs of <b>same type</b>. You can execute these logic in the mapping.

<i>Once the idocs are created, is the use of FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION the way to go ??</i>

>>>XI can populate the data into Idoc Structure. Remaining functionality/posting should be taken care in the Idoc processing logic in the Application system.( i.e to execute FM/Validation etc)

For File to Idoc scenario-
