Hi,

if you use t-code WE60 you can see all existing IDocs.

It's also possible to write your own IDocs.

Hi patrick,

but my question is what are the differences between 3 ways of transferring

1. stand alone programs

2. message control and 3. change pointers

Hi,

Message control:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/19878343b111d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm

Change pointer create an IDoc if data belonging to this IDoc has changed.

Stand-Alone programs are started explicitly by a user to transmit data from one SAP system to another.

Another possibility to create IDocs is an external program that could be a selfwritten ABAP program that creates an IDoc.

Please have a look here:

Regards

Patrick

You will find them in SAP menu under:

Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Transportation -> Transportation Planning -> External Planning System -> ALE Monitoring -> GoTo ...

Hi,

Other than the idoc's which you have mentioned we can send any idoc that depends upon the requirement

Ex:

Orders

DELVRY

1. Article and condition (WP_PLU03)

2. EAN (WP_EAN01)

3. STO Details (WMMBID02)

4. Physical Inventory (WVINVE01)

5. Price updates for old batches (WP_PLU03

There is no specific to send the idoc. u can send any idoc
