- SAP IDoc status overview. The IDoc status describes the status of IDocs at a defined time. The status for outgoing IDocs has the value range between 01 and 49. The status for inbound IDocs starts at 50. The following table shows the IDoc status that exists by default in an SAP system. SAP Outbound IDocs status codes.
- There is no special deletion program for IDocs. Use the archiving programs. IDoc is a separate archiving class. The following programs are available: 1. Archive RSEXARCA and RSEXARCB (as of Release 3.0C) 2. Delete RSEXARCD 3. Read archiveRSEXARCR 4. Restore RSEXARCL. RSEXARCB is similar to RSEXARCA except for the selection screen.

Following are the few programs that are used for archiving and deletion of IDocs from database. Program: Purpose: RSEXARCA Archive IDOCs RSEXARCD Delete archived IDOCs from the.
- When working with iDocs, you may come across situations where you need to change the current iDoc status. IDoc Status change requirements may arise due to different reasons such as reprocessing, archiving etc. But make sure you use SAP standard methods and programs to change iDoc status.
- The archiving program compiles the list of IDoc numbers which weredefined by the selection criteria and passes these to the module'EDI_ARCHIVE_IDOCS'which then archives the IDocs. A log is output after archiving listing the IDocs which were actuallyarchived.
During inbound (client) processing, IDocs are transferred to the interface and stored in the R/3 System. The document data is generated in a second step, also in the course of a workflow.
Outbound processing in SAP involves event handling. An event in SAP is defined as an occurrence of a status change in an object. Events are created when the relevant status change occurs. The following topics describe how to enable inbound and outbound SAP processing.
Configuring SAP Inbound Processing
SAP inbound processing requires the upstream system to transfer an IDoc to the IDoc interface through the R/3 System port. For this reason, you do not have to specify a port in the inbound partner profiles; the IDoc interface only must recognize the upstream system as a port. A port definition, which provides a unique ID for the upstream system, must be available for the port. The technical parameters of this port definition can (and usually are) overwritten by the upstream system.
Sap Inbound Idoc Program
If the upstream system is recognized, then the IDoc is saved in the database. If a partner is defined with the corresponding message in partner profiles, the IDoc is then processed further. This is done independently in the second step. This ensures that the external system can receive the data quickly and reliably (automatically).
You must perform the following steps to configure SAP for inbound IDoc processing:
- Configure a logical system.
- Configure a distribution model.
- Define an inbound partner profile.
Configuring a Logical System
In any distributed environment, each participating system must have a unique ID to avoid confusion. In SAP, the name of the logical system is used as the unique ID. This name is assigned explicitly to one client in an SAP system.
Defining a Logical System
To define a logical system:
- Run the sale transaction.

Configuring a Distribution Model
A distribution model is used to describe the ALE message flow between logical systems. Business objects are distributed to connected recipients according to a unique distribution model that can contain rules of varying complexity depending on the type of business objects involved.
Defining a Distribution Model
To define a distribution model:
- Run the bd64 transaction.
Description of the illustration ale_nbd64.gifThe Display Distribution Model window is displayed.
Description of the illustration ale_distmodel1.gif - Click Distribution Model from the menu bar.

- Click the check mark icon to enter the information.You are returned to the main Change Distribution Model window.
- Click Save.
Defining a Partner Profile
Partner profiles are a prerequisite for data exchange. This involves defining who can exchange messages with the SAP system and using which port.
Defining a Partner Profile
To define a partner profile:
- Run the we20 transaction.
Description of the illustration ale_we20.gifThe Partner profiles window is displayed.
Description of the illustration ale_pprofile1.gif - In the left pane, expand Partner type LS and select the logical system you configured from the list, for example, ORACLETDS.In the right pane, the Partn.number field refers to the name of the logical system.

- In the Process code field, enter the process code you want to use, for example, MATM.You can click the icon to the right of each field to browse from a list of available process codes.
- In the Processing by function module area, select one of the following options:
- Trigger by background program.In this case the adapter writes IDocs to the SAP database, which is processed immediately.
- Trigger immediately.In this case, the adapter waits for the SAP system to process IDocs. This can take anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes.
- Click Save.
Configuring SAP Outbound Processing
Event creation must be implemented by you or by SAP. An event is created from specific application programs (the event creator) and then published systemwide. Any number of receivers can respond to the event with their own response mechanisms. An event is usually defined as a component of an object type.
SAP pseudo events are not processed by the SAP Event manager, but are called from an ABAP program or Remote Function Call (using the Destination parameter).
Related Concepts and Terminology
The following topic lists and defines specific terminology related to SAP and SAP event handling.
Client and Server Programs
RFC programs for non-SAP systems can function as either the caller or the called program in an RFC communication. There are two types of RFC programs:
- RFC Client
- RFC Server
The RFC client is the instance that calls the RFC to run the function that is provided by an RFC server. The functions that can be called remotely are called RFC functions, and the functions provided by the RFC API are called RFC calls.
SAP Gateway
The SAP Gateway is a secure application server. No connections are accepted unless they have been preregistered previously from the SAP presentation Client. A server connection presents itself to the Gateway and exposes a Program Identifier. If the Program Identifier is found in the list of registered Program IDs, the Gateway server then offers a connection to the server, which 'Accepts' a connection. This ProgramID is then linked with an RFC Destination within SAP, which enables SAP Function Modules and ALE documents (IDocs or BAPI IDocs) to be routed to the destination. The RFC Destination functions as a tag to mask the Program ID to SAP users.
An RFC server program can be registered with the SAP gateway and wait for incoming RFC call requests. An RFC server program registers itself under a Program ID at an SAP gateway and not for a specific SAP system.
In SAPGUI, the destination must be defined with transaction SM59, using connection type T and Register Mode. Moreover, this entry must contain information on the SAP gateway at which the RFC server program is registered.
Program IDs and Load Balancing
If the Gateway Server has a connection to a particular server instance and another server instance presents itself to the gateway, then the gateway offers the connection and then begins functioning in Load Balancing mode. Using a proprietary algorithm, the Gateway sends different messages to each server depending on demand and total processing time. This may cause unpredictable results when messages are validated by schema and application.
When configuring multiple events in the Oracle Application Server using a single SAP program ID, SAP load balances the event data. For example, if multiple remote function calls or BAPIs use the same program ID (for example, ORACLETDS) and multiple SAP listeners are configured with this progamID, then SAP sends one request to one listener and the next to another listener, and so on.
There is a load-balancing algorithm present in the SAP Gateway Server. This mechanism is proprietary to SAP application development and might work by comparing total throughput of the connection, the number of times in wait state, and so on. This means one connection might receive nine messages and a second connection might receive one message. If five of the nine messages are rejected for schema validation and the one message on the other connection is rejected for schema validation, you might suspect that you are missing SAP event handling messages.
Load balancing in server (inbound to adapter from SAP) situations is handled by connecting multiple instances of the adapter to the SAP system. The SAP system will then load balance the connections. You cannot tune this performance.
Load balancing in client (outbound from adapter to SAP) situations is handled only by the SAP application design. If your system supports a Message Server, then you can load balance in client situations. If you have only one application server, you cannot load balance except by application server tuning, such as maximum number of connections permitted or time of day limits on connections.
The SAP system default limit is 100 RFC (communication) or adapter users. Each user takes up more than 2 MB of memory on the application server of the SAP system, and more or less on the adapter depending on the workload.
Connection Pooling
A connection pool is a set of client connections to a specific destination. The pool may automatically create new connections to the specified remote system or return an already existing connection. It also provides methods to return a connection back to the pool when it is no longer needed.
A connection pool can check which connections are no longer in use and can be closed to save system resources. The time period after which the pool checks the connections as well as the time after which a connection will time out can be configured by the calling application.
A pool is always bound to one user ID and password, meaning that all connections taken from this pool will also use these credentials. An SAP connection is always bound to an SAP user ID and an SAP Client number.
If you log on with a pool size that is set to 1, no connection pool is created (1 userid – 1 process thread). If you log on with a pool size that is greater than 1, a pool is created with a size of n, which is the number you specified.
For more information about connection pooling, see the SAP JCO API documentation.
Registering Your Program ID in SAPGUI
To enable your SAP system to issue the following calls or interfaces to the SAP event adapter, you must register your program ID under an RFC destination.
- Remote Function Calls (RFC)
- Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPI)
- Intermediate Documents (IDoc)
The RFC destination is a symbolic name (for example, ORACLETDS) that is used to direct events to a target system, masking the program ID. The Program ID is configured in both SAPGUI and the event adapter.
Registering Your Program ID
To register your program ID:
- Launch the SAP GUI and log in to the SAP system.
- Select Tools, Administration, Network, and then RFC destination.
- Run the SM59 transaction.The Display and maintain RFC destinations window is displayed.

What is an IDOC?
IDOC is simply a data container used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data.
In other words, an IDOC is like a data file with a specified format which is exchanged between 2 systems which know how to interpret that data.
IDOC stands for ' Intermediate Document'
When we execute an outbound ALE or EDI Process, an IDOC is created.
In the SAP System, I DOCs are stored in database. Every IDOC has a unique number(within a client).

When we execute an outbound ALE or EDI Process, an IDOC is created.
In the SAP System, I DOCs are stored in database. Every IDOC has a unique number(within a client).
In this tutorial you will learn:
Key Features- IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.(SAP-to-SAP as well as Non-SAP)
- IDOCs are based on EDI standards, ANSI ASC X12 and EDIFACT. In a case of any conflict in data size, it adopts one with greater length.
- IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange e.g. ORDERS01: Purchasing module: Inbound and Outbound
- IDOCs can be viewed in a text editor. Data is stored in character format instead of binary format.
Structure of an IDOC
Sap Idoc Archiving
The I doc structure consists of 3 parts -
Sap Idoc Archiving Program Program
- The administration part(Control Record)- which has the type of idoc, message type, the current status, the sender, receiver etc. This is referred to as the Control record.
- The application data (Data Record) - Which contains the data. These are called the data records/segments.
- The Status information (Status Record)- These give you information about the various stages the idoc has passed through.
You can view an I-DOC using transaction WE02 or WE05
As seen the screenshot above IDOC record has three parts Control, Data and Status. Let's look into them in detail - Control Record
- All control record data is stored in EDIDC table. The key to this table is the IDOC Number
- It contains information like IDOC number, the direction(inbound/outbound), sender, recipient information, channel it is using, which port it is using etc.
- Direction '1' indicates outbound, '2' indicates inbound.
Data Record
- Data record contains application data like employee header info, weekly details, client details etc
- All data record data is stored in EDID2 to EDID4 tables and EDIDD is a structure where you can see its components.
- It contains data like the idoc number, name and number of the segment in the idoc, the hierarchy and the data
- The actual data is stored as a string in a field called SDATA, which is a 1000 char long field.
Status Record
- Status record is attached to an I-DOC at every milestone or when it encounter errors.
- All status record data is stored in EDIDS table.
- Statuses 1-42 are for outbound while 50-75 for inbound
IDOC Types
An I DOC Type, (Basic) defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged. An IDOC is an instance of an IDOC Type , just like the concept of variables and variables types in programming languages. You can define IDOC types using WE30
What is a Segment?
A Segment defines the format and structure of a data record in I-DOC. Segments are reusable components.
For each segment SAP creates
For each segment SAP creates
- Segment Type (version independent)
- Segment Definition (version dependent)
- Segment Documentation
The last 3 characters is the version of the segment
Definitions keep changing as per the version but the segment type remains the same.
Transaction:WE31
Definitions keep changing as per the version but the segment type remains the same.
Transaction:WE31
What is Extension IDOC type?
An IDOC is of 2 types:-
- Basic
- Extension
SAP provides many a pre-defined Basic IDOC Types which can not be modified. In case you want to add more data to these restricted basic type you may use an extension type. Most of the times you will NOT use extension.
Documentation
Each IDOC are thoroughly documented in transaction WE60
Message Type
A message represents a specific type of document that is transmitted between two partners Ex. Orders, orders responses, invoices etc
An idoc type can be associated with many message types
Also, a message type can be associated with different idoc types. Transaction WE81

IDOC Views
An IDOC type can be used for more than one message type, which results in IDOCs containing more fields than required for a particular message type.
IDOC views are used to improve performance in generating IDOCs to ensure only the relevant segments are filled with data. IDOC Views are important only for Outbound Processing.

Partner Profiles
A partner is defined as a business partner with whom you conduct business and exchange documents
In the partner profile of a partner that we exchange Idocs with, we maintain the parameters that are necessary for exchanging the data. The transaction used is WE20.

Port
The port defines the technical characteristics of the connection between your SAP system and the other system you want to transfer data with (subsystem). The port defines the medium in which data is exchanged between the 2 systems.
There are different types of ports. The 2 most commonly used are the TRFC ports used in ALE and File ports which EDI uses.
For TRFC ports we have to give the name of the logical destination created using SM59.
When using file port you can specify the directory where the IDOC file should be placed. The other system or the middleware will pick up the file from here. The Function module can be used to generate a file name for the idoc. While Testing you can use 'Outbound file' to specify a constant file name. The tab 'outbound trigger' can be used to supply information if we want to trigger some processing on the subsystem when an idoc is created at this location. We have to specify the command file name and the directory which has to be run.

This is so CONFUSING!
Let's understand the process of creating an IDOC with an example -
- Whenever a Purchase Order (PO) is created we want to send the IDOC to a vendor.
- The PO is sent in the form of an IDOC to the vendor (partner). That partner has to be EDI enabled in that system. SAP should realize that it could send doc to this vendor electronically.
- The PO sent as an outbound idoc by the customer will be inbound idoc for the vendor. The SAP system on the vendor's side can process this to create an application document (a sales order) on their system.
- Quotation, RFQ, PO, SO, Invoice, delivery note etc are some of the commonly exchanged documents through IDOC
The process of data transfer out of your SAP system is called the Outbound process, while that of data moving into you SAP system is called Inbound process. As a developer or a consultant who will be involved in setting up theses process for your organization. Here are the steps how to set them up- Newhouse dt light font free download.
