Acknowledgement of Idoc of EDI type

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have the following scenario :

R/3 > Idoc (asynchronous) > PI BPM > Http (Synchrnous) > B2B Partner (EDI Customer (ALE KU))

We want to acknowledge our idocs using a node of the XML contained in HTTP response.

It seems we can't use ALEAUD to do that because our target isn't a logical system (EDI communication)

Is there a way ???

Thanks a lot.

Can you B2B Partner not return a message to you?

We did something similar than mapped the response into the correct format for processing into R/3. The file receiving was a file system and on receipt of the Idoc, there was a script to trigger a file for us to process as an acknowledgement using File Content Conversion.

Thanks Barry,

Yes we have a response message with a node that contains a code allowing us to know whether it is ok or not !!!

But we don't know what message to build (Which idoc) ?

For the moment we use the stanbard acknowledgement procedure in BPM (send step of type acknowledgement : positive or negative)

But generated ack has the following error in SXMB_MONI :

SAP:Stack>Unable to convert the sender service BPM_CchubwooInvoice to an ALE logical system</SAP:Stack>

I think BPM try to send an ALEAUD idoc but it is not adapted to EDI partners ....

We converted the return message into ALEAUD01 Idoc.

We used a variable to denote with Logical System to enter into the required field.
