Steps to create a basic type IdocCreation of a new basic type of IDOC consists of several steps. Here is the detailexplanation and steps to do for that.

Step 1: Creation of Segments

Here are the steps to define segments

Enter Transaction code WE31

Select Utilities -> Requests (Organizer)

Specify segment type and choose create

Enter a short description of the segment and enter the corresponding fieldnames and data elements associated with that segment.

Goto -> Documentation and describe the segment type

Come back to segment editor

Save and Enter the segment in a transport request

Step 2: Define a basic Idoc Type

Enter transaction code WE30

Enter a name for the basic IDoc type and mark basic type as the

development object. And choose create

Enter a description for the basic Idoc type and choose tick mark button.

Position the mouse on header and choose create button

Enter the segments.

Save

Step 3: Assigning Message types

We need to create new message types only if the existing message not matching with our

requirements.

Steps to create a new message type

Enter Transaction WE81

Choose edit button and then new entries

Enter the message type with description

Save

Enter transaction WE82

Choose edit button and then new entries

Enter the message type, basic type and SAP release in their corresponding

columns.

Save data

Step 4: Create function Module for outbound processing

The steps for creating a function module have been described in our earlier posts. Here is a

brief about the steps.

Open the function builder to create our new function module

Create the segments as global data and code the function module to pass the

application data to the corresponding segments.

Activate the function module

Step 5: Maintaining the Attributes of a Function Module

Use transaction code BD51 to maintaining the Attributes of a Function Module (Like the

settings for dialog possible etc)

Step 6: Assign function module to the basic Idoc

Use Transaction code WE57 and then assign the function module to various objects as per

our requirements. This step is the ALE registration for the function module.

Step 7: Assigning a Process Code

This step is used to assign a new process code to the new function module. This enables

the function module to be identified from the partner profiles defined in the IDoc Interface

when an IDoc of the new message type is received.

Enter transaction code WE42

Enter process code and a description. Choose the Processing with ALE and

Processing by function module options and save your entries. In the maintenance

screen assign the inbound function module to the process code.

Choose new entries

In the detail screen enter Process code, Module fame, Idoc fame, Application

Object fame etc

Save

Enter transaction code WE42 again

Go back to maintain the inbound process codes and choose the Logical

message navigation.

Choose change mode and select new entries

Enter the message type and process code

Save

Step 8: Defining a partner

The new basic type must be entered in the partner profiles before being used. Use

transaction code WE20 to create partner profile. Partner number, partner type, Partner

function, message type, permitted agent and process code are the important fields to

maintain in inbound partner profiles.

These are the common steps involved in creating a new basic type Idoc. The other steps

you need to do after this may be

Create Logical System

Create RFC destination
