Hi Nithin,

You can try to use an ABAP Custom Report which creates a Flat file/EDI & posts directly to say, a FTP location hopefully that might work for this requirement. As it is a report, an IDOC would be a one-by-one scenario & may not suit this situation.

Thanks.

Considering the business requirement of your client, i would suggest you to come up with a Custom report whose selection criteria are pretty same as MD04, which when executed will send out the result through IDOC. You can use a function module for triggering outbound call and define the segment based on the data's which is required by your client. If this activity is to be executed every week, then you schedule the program in background mode.

If the selection criteria i.e Stock report is required by your client for more than one material then you develop a T-code and link the program (Report) and this t-code needs to be excuted. I have cited the high level solution for the business requirement and you would need to consult your technical consultant to frame up the solution into macro level...

Kindly update the forum based on the suggestion shared !!
