Incoming EDI 850 orders

[former_member605063]

Hi,

A novice question.

External customers will not pass the SAP number in incoming EDI 850, would some one provide information how customer number (sold-to) is determined in sales order (SAP system) for an incoming EDI 850 order.

Thank you

SV

There are two points where mapping occurs - one is the Partner in the IDoc control record. For EDI we use third-party system that handles this value and into our system IDocs arrive with the SAP Sold-to account number that matches the one in the Partner Profile (WE20). Mapping for partner profile occurs in the third-party system. If you use SAP PI (or PRO as SAP insists on calling it these days) then this mapping would occur there, I guess.

Then a little further down the line there are also partner numbers in the IDoc segments. To map those the transaction VOE4 is used.

Jelena is right.  The practice in most of the industries is to map the master data at Interface level or within SAP ECC system (custom solution).

Hi Shiva,

For incoming EDI 850 I believe you have to mapp  the Partner profiles  in transaction WE20, also relevant entries with partner role "SP" and inbound message type "Orders" should be  maintained therein inbound parameters.
