How to pull quotes (header and line items)

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

Is it possible to pull quotes which includes Header and Line items from tables on ERP side using XI?

Also, when exactly do you use IDOC adapters?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes its possible to fetch the data, but the communication with ERP ie.e R/3 to XI is preferrable with either IDOC, RFC or Proxy communication.

You can use the IDoc adapter to connect SAP systems (as of release 3.1) and non-SAP systems with the Integration Server using native IDoc structures.

The tasks of the IDoc adapter are:

¡ To create an IDoc-XML message out of an RFC call on the inbound side.

The metadata of the IDoc structure is used for this purpose. This metadata is retrieved from the DDIC of the sender and receiver systems.

When you load metadata from a sender or receiver system, ensure that all required IDoc types and IDoc segments have been released (this can be checked with transaction IDoc Type Development (WE30) in the corresponding system).

¡ To create an RFC call out of an IDoc-XML message on the outbound side.

¡ To create message header information by mapping ALE logical system names to business system names stored in the Integration Directory and (optionally) defined in the System Landscape Directory.

¡ To create an IDoc control record out of an XI message on the outbound side.

IDoc adapter resides on the ABAP engine and the Idoc is sent directly to the Integration Engine of XI from the R3 system hence no sender idoc adapter and no sender agreement for the idoc adapter.

This will help you
