Question:
Hello Guys,
I am refering ALE, EDI, & IDOC technologies for SAP Arvind Nagraj's book.
Stand alone program for outbound page no 627
Function Module for inbound page no 648.
follwed the steps in chapter 33 for custmizing the interface for new idoc
I have written a stand-alone ABAP program to create a outbound document. Its successfully generates outbound document on the sender system but inbound document does not get generated on the receiver system even though the function module for inbound processing is developed
Pls help me out, what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance.
Answer:
Assuming both your systems are SAP, you should check your outbound IDOC port (in the sender system). Go to WE21, and find out what type of port it is. If it is a file port, go to the directory it points to and see if the file is there. If it is, then use WE16 in the receiver system to receive the idoc.
If it is an RFC port (most idocs between 2 sap systems are set up as RFC/ALE), make sure all the settings in the WE21 port are correct, and double click on the RFC destination, and do a test connection. Also, check in SM58, as your idoc may have an error and be sitting in there.
What is the status of your idoc on the sender system? It should be 03 - data passed to port ok.
