Hi Krishna,

Control Record(EDI_DC40) has details of Idoc Number,Sender port,Partner Type and such details of sender n reciver which u dont need for file to Idoc scenario.

It has 1..1 occurance...so either u need to map it or u can proceed by disabling it.

Thanks,

Maheshwari.

Hi

The Runtime components of an IDoc are Control Record,Data Record and Status Record.

Control record hold the details like sender id,receiver,port type etc which is stored in EDIDC.

Control record information are fetched from EDIDC during runtime.

Hey,

EDI_DC40 contains the data about control records.

Before the message leaves the Integration Server, the message header contains values that are exported and used later to complete the IDoc control record.

Adapter populates it runtime.

Correct me if i am wrong

There are two ways to fill the control records;

1. by disabling them in the mapping - they will be filled automatically by the IDoc adapter, taking into consideration the BS details of the R3 in SLD.

2. You need not disable them. You can fill them in the mapping.But then in the IDoc adapter you need to specify the option <b>Apply Control Record Values from Payload</b>
