posting idocs

[Former Member]

If we have scenario like idoc-xi-(xxx) scenario.....In real time how the idocs are normally posted ?? Instantly I can think of two ways.

1. By using custom or default transactions like BD10. where these transactions will simultaneously post the idoc's and also update the tables

2. By using the change pointer concept.....whenever somebody updates the tables idocs will be posted.

Plz correct me if I am wrong. Meanwhile could you plz add some more points if you have anything to say ??

thanks

For test purpose, we19 is a good option of sending idocs.

In real world scenarios, change pointers concept are generally used to trigger the idocs.

Dear Kumar,

Sending the master data is different & Transaction data is different.

When you speak about Master data prob we use Selection programs or Cp concept.

Where as For transaction data like Po/Accounting programs you need to execute the TCODe by populating the data

Some times we use Customized IDOCS for trigerring the Data.

All are valid scenarios and are applicable.

change pointers concept will be used to trigger IDOC whenever changes happened to master data like MATERIAL MASTER, CUSTOMER MASTER, VENDOR MASTER...etc

Change Pointers:

-

---

-Change documents are working based on change document technique which

tracks changes made to the key documents (Material Master, Customer

Master, Vendor Master ..etc) in SAP.

-Changes made to the keydocuments are recorded in the change document

Header table i.e. CDHDR and Item table CDPOS, Additional change

pointers are written in the BDCP and BDCPS tables.

-Change pointers technique is used to initiate the outbound process

automatically when master data is created or changed.

-A standard program RBDMIDOC is sechuled to run on periodic basis to

evaluate the change pointers for a message type and starts the ALE

process for distributing the Masterdata to the appropriate destination.

-'Object' is collection of fields of different database tables. T.code

for creating an object is SCDO.

Message control concept will be used whenever changes happened to transactional data like S.O,P.O(Purch Order)

Hey,

You got it right. The most relevant is change pointers in the real time scenario. BD codes can't be used as they have to be manually executed in a real time scenario.

If you want to test the scenario best is to go for WE19 -> IDOC TEST.

We can collect the IDOCs at the R/3 Application level(WE21 you can see that option) and then send collectively to the receiving partner.
