--->one doubt, during msg mapping, i want to map all the field which is mandatory(required) in the segment .

You can easily map the mandatory field by making a field in target structure for your target file..

bcz in my scenaio i have 5 fields in my flat file..so if i not mapping the required fields what happen...i am confuse with this...

<b>Offcourse if you will not map mandatory target field run time mapping error will be thrown..</b>

One thing ...your Subject is Idoc to File...then your mandatory fields should be in file point of view not by Idoc point of view..as by SAP mapping is defined as mapping required target fields with source fields .

try getting past it by right clicking on the field..and disabling it...

limat,

Actually the basic concept is... u have to map all the mendatory fields of ur <b>target structure</b>(not necessary to map all mendatory fields of source structure) with the source structure or with constants!!

remember mendatory fields are those field which are having <b>min occurence=1.</b>

So in ur case...just check wheather u have mapped all the mendatory fields of target structure or not????

also u can go thr' this step by step for Idoc to File ...if u need!!!

Hi

If I understand you correct, you should map all the required fields, if you only have 5 fields that you need to map you can map the rest of the required fields(of the idoc) with constants in message mapping?

hi

u r correct...

in my scenerio sender is IDoc receiver is file..

file contains only 5 fields.. where as in idoc there are many fields with required field...

what to do with the required filed in idoc...u got wat i try to tell...

reply with it...

since you have IDOC as sender,you don't need to worry about the mandatory fields of IDOC,if u dont get any values for it from R/3,it will be passed as blank.just make sure that IDOC is send properly with all the required fields to XI.

u need to map all the required fields of the receiver file though,since you have only 5 fields in File ,these fields must be mapped to some field(s) of IDOC or some constant

Thanx

If in target you spececified the cardinality (1..1) it means you have to provide the mapping for it..means map the currect source field or constant based on the requirement. but you have to do mapping for all the fileds that are mendetory in the targer side..Else your Mapping will throw an Error.
