FCC on sender File adapter

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are planning to use Sender File adapter with FCC. Our target is IDOC structure  with various tree level ( more then 4 sometimes)

Would like to know if there is any limitation on Sender FCC ( as like receiver) in terms of the level it can support.

Can i take flat file with Data where first line maps to Header Sales Order ( 0.1) second & third maps to line item sales order ( 1..n) and

each line item has sales delivery ( 1.n). Convert this to IDOC on target.

Thanks

hello,

FCC can handle upto 3 level of hierarchy. So, either use JM to create structure and then map the same to idoc or use graphical mapping (along with UDFs) to get ur desired mapping output.

MT_Name

   Header

         Field1

         Field2

   Item

         Filed3

         Field4

Thanks

Thanks for reply. I am slightly confused with structure you mentioned above.

Is this target structure or source.. I have for e.g. a customer master data

Can i do like this in source file

01101010, ELA, JOHH, JO10  ( Customer ID, NAME1, Tax code)

1233 First St, Chicago, IL , USA       ( Address, City, State, Country)

US00, X, XCY                                  ( Sales org, Deletion flag, Classification)

VAT1, 10, 100                                    ( Tax1, percentage, base amount)

VAt2, 2,1000                                       ( Tax 2, Percentage, amount)

Now this maps to nested structure

Customers

  -> Customer

  ->Header

     ->Details ( first line with customer ID etc)

         -> Customer details 1..n)

            -> Address ( Address tab 1.n)

            -> Sales org ( sales org 1.n)

.           -> Tax ( tax 0..n)

                 -> Tax type ( 0.n)

When doing FCC would this be considered more then 3 for sender channel..

Yes, it has more than 3 levels of hierarchy.

You can try with Adapter Module Development or like below:

You won't be able to create such nested strcture with standard FCC on the sender side.

Either go for java mapping.

graphical mapping

Hello,

The structure which i have mentioned above is of source.

Now coming to ur file format, that's for sure u can't convert file into a structure which u have pasted above using FCC. So now there are three options either talk to ur legacy application and reformat that file or go with a custom solution or still use FCC (with its limitations) and try to use graphical mapping.

Thanks

FCC doesn't support nested strcture (not more than 3 levels of hierarchy) . Having said that you can go for java mapping/adapter modules based on your requirement to achive nested strcture.

Also there are blogs about achiving nested strcture using graphical mapping.

Thanks. As suggested, i have to use Graphical mapping to do this..

Do Remove context work in these cases

>>>Do Remove context work in these cases.

you can obviously use all the graphical functions including "Remove context" but it depends on your requirement.

Did you check the above blog which i shared ?

[Former Member]

Thanks! So what i can conclude is Only FCC won't support but using Graphical mapping and FCC, I  should be able to take the file & created a nested IDOC Is that correct assumption.

Hi,

Yes, correct.

You can now close the thread as per if you do not have any more questions right now.
