Regarding Message Interfaces

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am new to SAP XI. Only thing I know is Message Interfaces are very key role to play in SAPXI. In case of any IDOC Are BAPI you can directly import them to I.R as interface objects. for example there are lots of IDOCS Available like BATMAS, MATMAS, ORDERS, CREMAS, there is lot of confusion on this what information this IDOCS contain how can we Know that particular IDOC contains the information Meeting our requirement. In case I am integrating MM Module Are SD module with SAP what interfaces I need to use pls any one explain me with clear scenario. and also pls help with some realtime docs so I can understand the things better. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kiran,

There is no confusion about IDOCs. The requirement shows the what type of IDOC u want to used.

The XI guys will take care of the Import the IDOC from particular R/3 system.

Like same RFC Function Modules also..

When ever we used IDOC we need configured setting in R/3 & XI Systems.

__Configured steps in R/3 System:__

1) RFC Destination-- SM59

--> Create the RFC Destination

--->Crate the RFC Destination type 3(R/3 system)

---> specify the server address of the Integration server as target hosts

2) Port----WE21

_---->Create the port for transaction RFC

-

---

> Enter the RFC Destination

3) Partner Profiles--WE20

Configure the steps in XI System:

1) Create the RFC destination (SM59)

2) Create the IDOC port into IDOC adapter(IDX1)

3) Load the meta data of IDOC into IDOC Port(IDX2)

Hi Kiran,

You use like MATMAS05 for creating a material and orderso5 for creating a PO..

Being XI guyz..we don't need to create an IDOC..we just need to import the structure into our Imported objects..and do the mapping and configure the scenario...there ends our job..

when we are sending the IDOCS..we don't need to configure the sender adapter..as IDOC adapter lies in abap stack itself..

for receiver side..

here is complete reference:

Hi kiran,

As an PI developer, You no need to worry about the type of Idoc to be used . The function team will pass on the name of the Idoc to be imported in to PI for the business requirement.

The role of the PI developer would be like importing the IDoc in to PI and use it in the mapping program.

Thanks,

Kiran.
