EDI850 In XI

[former_member185845]

Dear friends,

we have a scenario EDI to SAP & vice versa,

Outbound : The EDI docs are comming in the form of TXT files. The XI picks up the file (TXT) and target is IDOC.The mapping sheet is also provided.

The structures defined i nTXT are too complex , i guess you aer aware of EDI files .we have do define the corresponding structures Can we define the structure definitions in File content conversion.

I mean to say all the sub structures along with the fields name.

Will this work out or create any problem.I mean does it have any impact

The customer doesnt want to purchase EDI adapters as the interfaces are around 5-7 overall.

I guess in such a case its much better to have a custom module in your file adapter.

Cos the structures are too complex, so it would be better to read the txt file as flat using content conversion and then make your structure inside the module itself.

in this case you also have the advantage of rejecting the file, or having any kind of checks on the same.

Hi

We had a similar problem...?

We got the whole content of the text file as an single record and did the mapping to IDoc using the java mapping.....

Could u please provide a sample content of the input file.

It would be practically very difficult with file content conversion.

U have to write ur own EDI modules for File adapter.
