Unable to Create extension for IDoc CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03

[Former Member]

Hi All,

i want to add few fields to idoc  CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03 , so wanted to extend it, but it is giving error message "action not possible for generated idoc types".

I have go gone through many discussions , in most places it is not answered clearly and it creates lots of confusions.

Kindly request to provide a solution on how to go about achieving it.

Thanks,

Hi Julin,

Thanks for your suggestions.

But my doubt is since the idoc  CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03 is already existing , do we still create a Bapi ..and if so how do we identify which Bapi..?

Thanks,

Vikram

Dear Vikram,

I found a KBA addresses the error you mentioned.

Could you please review it and check if it helps?

1579037 - "ACTION IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR GENERATED IDOCTYPES" when Extending IDOCs

Here is the resolution:

1. You need to extend the BAPI or complex data type not the IDoc.

2. To do this, create an own BAPI sub-type including your new fields or extend the complex data type and afterwards create an own new ALE interface via tx BDBG/BDFG as documented in the online help for BDBG and BDFG. This will lead to a new idoc type.

Hope the information helps.
