EDI Output type generating multiple IDOCs

[Former Member]

Hi All,

For one of the Business requirement we have created a Delivery EDI output type and output type is processed via Report RSNAST00 in a batch job.

The delivery document shows only one output type prcossed still, mutiple idocs are being sent out for this Delivery.

RSEOUT00 is being used to process outbound IDOC.

Any pointers toward this abnormal behavior shall be helpful.

BR,

PS - We havent implemented change Pointers

When you have more than one IDoc for a delivery, please clarify what you have in the delivery noteu2019s output table (VL03N => Extras => Delivery output => Header). Does it show more than one occurrence of the same output type?

If so, then the output type is configured for multiple issuing. This makes an output generate every time a change is made to the document.

You can change this setting in tcode NACE. Select the Application V2 (Shipping) record, then hit the command button u201COutput typesu201D. Select your output type, and hit the details button. On the General tab, uncheck the box labeled u201CMultiple issuingu201D.

Then the system will generate only one output automatically.

Hi Ken,

Many thanks for taking out time and replyin on my question.

However, the delivery has only one ocurrence of output type ; still multiple IDOCS are issued... Any inputs why or how the mutiple idocs have been issued?

Okay, so you have one output record in the delivery document generating multiple IDocs.

Compare the control records of the generated IDocs. Do they have the same Basic Type, Message Type and recipient Partner Number?

If yes,

1. Check for multiple background jobs running RSEOUT00 at the same time. Seems unlikely, but this is easy to check and eliminate as a possible cause.

2. Step through the program RSEOUT00 as it generates the output type for one delivery document. Perhaps something is happening in a user exit that inadvertently results in replication of the IDoc.

Otherwise, the process code that gets executed by the output type in the delivery document is, for some reason, generating additional output. I donu2019t know of any standard output process code that does this, but it could be deliberate (by design). If you are sure that it should NOT happen, then step through the code and look for a mis-behaving user exit.

What are the selection parameters maintained in RSEOUT00. Can you check the field output mode? Can you maintain value 1 (or 2) here and check again?
