how to generate EDI file

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

If i want to send one EDI file to Receiver,how to generate EDI file in source system?

Hi Senthil,

It depends upon what your source system is.

If it is an IDOC, you need to create a mapping in XI.

You need to have a Seeburger adapter to convert the XML to EDI format.

HI Senthil,

Let us take an example.

Your Backend system is SAP R/3.

Your Middleware is SAP XI.

YOu want to send an EDI Invoice to your partner.

1) YOu wil create an INvoice in your backend system. IT will generate an IDOC.

2) This IDOC will be sent to your XI system. This will be in XML format.

3) YOur target structure wil be an XML format of EDI 810 document(EDI 810 means INvoice).

4) You will map the IDOC XML to the Target XML 810.

5) But , finally you cannot sent the XML format of the EDI document.

6) So, you need a seeburger adapter which will convert the XML 810 docuemnt to EDI document.

Hello Senthil,

You have many way to do this.

1. You can use 3 party add-on/ software to xi like Seeburger or Itemfield.

You can see the link below.

2. You can work together with VAN (Value-Added Network ) this company take you xml file and transfer this file to EDI format.

(you can find a links in Google for many VAN provider).

i think receiver can able to receive the EDI document file,like text files.but after receiving EDI file,what is the further process?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

After receiving the EDi File to the Target system, they will do posting the data to the application

Sample example,

My client is using the SAP R/3 and their customer is dealing with the EDI data.

Business between my client and their customer is , my client's customer will post the sales order in EDI format, why because they r in Seeburger Technology and as soon as they made the SO, the EDI file will be generated

So my client wants XI as middleware which will take the EDI data from their customer and xi will do the conversion of EDI to EDI-XML in XI and finally will post into SAP as Purchase Order.

And in the reverse case also this will happen

while sending the Invoice to their customers, my client will send the Invoice in the form of Idoc, so xi will do the conversion if Idoc to EDI format, which the target systyem can understand.

For conversion of this EDI to XML and Vice versa we will use the Seeburger Adapter in XI

For this we shld get separate seeburger license, and needs to be installed on XI server.

Hi,

so ur client and their customer having XI system..am i correct?

No Senthil, my client is having the XI Implementation and their customer is on Seeburger only, they dont want to change their applications.

So our client decided to implement XI for better business with their customer

Hi Senthil Kumar,

Once you bought the Seeburger License, you will get hell lot of Documents related to how to implement this inside XI.

Rather than knowing theoritically , once you implemented then you will come to know clearly

Rather than making the thread as answered and asking the Questions,better you close this thread and open new thread, then more people will interact with u.

Reward points If helpful
