IDoc to File - All fields optional and empty fields missing

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a problem in sending IDocs to PI system. When we send the IDoc it contains fields with spaces or which are just empty. Like below:

<E1EDK01 SEGMENT="1">

<CURCY>EUR</CURCY>

<HWAER>TRY</HWAER>

<WKURS>1.97810</WKURS>

<ZTERM>0002</ZTERM>

<BSART>NB</BSART>

<BELNR>4500000015</BELNR>

<RECIPNT_NO>0001000000</RECIPNT_NO>

</E1EDK01>

The problem is that the empty fields are missing. For example in the normal IDoc the above SEGMENT contains a ACTION element. But because it is empty it isn't sent. In our current case I have to receive these empty elements. (I need these fields because if they are empty I have to replace them with spaces. There are a lot of fields, so I dont want to check every field if it exists or not)

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks.

use function "mapwithdefault"

Hi Chris,

Please check the payload, (which is coming to PI) in first step of SXI_MONITOR. If empty elements are missing the payload which is coming into PI. Then the Sending system is not sending them or the PI IDOC adapter is ignoring empry spaces.

Hi Chris,

How abt mapping the empty SEGMENT-E1EDL40 with constant : WHICH IS EMPTY .(Select Constant , dont enter any value ) .You get the symbol on Constant like : []

Hope this helps ,

When the IDoc comes from SAP I don't know if its empty or not. So, if I map my field with a constant I will lose the value from SAP (if they sent the field not empty)
