How to find a corresponding IDOC type for an EDI?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have the following requirement.

Client wants to generate an interface(inbound and outbound) which transfers the data from non-sap into SAP in FI module.Client has a bnak account from which SAP system should be updated daily with the account transactions using EDI.

The bank deatails will be send it to EDI which then converts into SAP.The client proposes three EDI formats

EDI821 - Bank statements for reconcilation

EDI828 - Vendor/Customer payment bank transactions.

EDI823- LockBox.

Descriptions may or may not correct.

I got one IDOC type corresponding to EDI823 which is FINSTA01 but I couldn't find for other EDI formats.

Now I have the following questions :

1)How to find the IDOC types corresponding to the EDI formats.

2)Is it possible to create the interface with EDI/IDOC with out standard format?

3)What are the basic settings required to use EDI in SAP.(I think we need a EDI converter ot tool some thing like that).

4)How to find the IDOC number corresponding to an IDOC type?.(I have gone through WE02,WE09 and WE05 but in my system it is showing no values,I tried with so many inputs.so is there any other transaction to find the IDOC number)

your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,

Deciding a Idoc type depends on the transaction . what is the transaction you are using?.

1)How to find the IDOC types corresponding to the EDI formats.

Based on Transaction.Please search in the forum

2)Is it possible to create the interface with EDI/IDOC with out standard format?

NO

3)What are the basic settings required to use EDI in SAP.(I think we need a EDI converter ot tool some thing like that).

Middleware like webmethods,Business connector,SAP XI.depend on the Client data format

4)How to find the IDOC number corresponding to an IDOC type?.(I have gone through WE02,WE09 and WE05 but in my system it is showing no values,I tried with so many inputs.so is there any other transaction to find the IDOC number)

simply entring the Idoc in the we02 ,no other way .I hope in your D/B IDoc may not available.

Hello,

I suggest that you use a std EDI SAP converter tool. EDI is not simple. The converter probably will solve you the problem of having to find the right IDoc fields by yourself.

1) How to find the IDOC types corresponding to the EDI formats.

manual investigation, or check documentation of existing SAP/EDI adapers

2) Is it possible to create the interface with EDI/IDOC with out standard format?

yes. You can create custom IDoc types (or custom extensions to standard types) and process them into SAP (but the processing requires inbound custom coding, of course)

3)What are the basic settings required to use EDI in SAP.(I think we need a EDI converter ot tool some thing like that).

SAP does not know EDI. Yes, use a converter (which sends idocs into SAP).

4)How to find the IDOC number corresponding to an IDOC type?.(I have gone through WE02,WE09 and WE05 but in my system it is showing no values,I tried with so many inputs.so is there any other transaction to find the IDOC number)

? IDOC number corresponding to a type ? WE60 shows you the existing idoc types. What do you mean exactly ? Find runtime idoc by idoc number (DOCNUM) ? Then use WE02, and enter IDOC number.
