Rohit,

U have to do RFC lookups. Please refer this doc -https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a03e7b02-eea4-2910-089f-8214c6d1b439

Hi,

I am using message mapping and writing UDF for RFC call.

at 15 different places in mapping i have to use RFC calls.and i have to access different tables of R/3 .

So i have to create that many rfcs for every call or only by creating one rfc it can be done.

In every case the return value by rfc is different.

Hi,

Maybe instead of RFC lookups (which is vulnerable) it is better to use either user-exists or modification before you send IDocs to XI?

Hi

Check this blog

Hi,

It very much depends on requirements of your business scenario, ERP version and message/IDoc type that you want to exchange. Maybe you will have to build a new IDoc type ... but definitely it will be much more robust and durable that RFC lookup. Less trouble with maintenance later on.

Hi ,

where to write RFC modules?in r/3 system or in XI system?

Hi,

In R/3 system, if the sender system is the same as the system from which you have to select data then you don't even need to write RFMs just select data from tables ...
