Customizing SD and MM Output Control to Create IDocs

For Sales and Distribution (Export IDocs)

Customizing sales and distribution (SD) to create IDocs requires the following:

  • Maintaining output determination for billing documents

  • Assigning layout sets and programs

Maintaining these two areas involves defining the output type AES1, assigning the medium 6 (EDI) to AES1, and assigning the program RSNASTED to the procedure to trigger IDoc creation.

Maintaining Output Determination for Billing Documents

  1. In Customizing for Sales and Distribution , choose Start of the navigation path Basic Functions Next navigation step Output control Next navigation step Output Determination Next navigation step Output Determination Using the Condition Technique End of the navigation path .

  2. Maintain the output determination for billing documents.

Assigning Layout-sets and Programs

  1. In Customizing for Sales and Distribution , choose Basic Functions .

  2. Assign the layout sets and programs.

Example Example

Under Customizing for Maintain output determination for billing documents , select Maintain output types , and then select AES1 and choose Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Details End of the navigation path . In the Access Sequence field (on the General Data tab ), enter 0004 . In the Transmission medium field (on the Default values tab), enter EDI .

Select Maintain Access Sequences , add the access sequence 0004 for Sales Organization/Customer.

Select Assign Output Types to Partner Functions , and then assign the partner function SH (for ship-to party) to output type AES1.

Select Maintain Output Determination Procedure , and add the procedure V10000 for controlling billing output.

Select Assign Output Determination Procedures , and assign the procedure V10000 and the output type RD00 to billing document type F8. F8 is the pro forma invoice based on the delivery document.

Then choose Start of the navigation path Sales and Distribution Next navigation step Foreign Trade/Customs Next navigation step Printing/Communication Next navigation step Assign Forms for Export Billing Documents End of the navigation path . To output type AES1, Application V3, assign both the program RNASTED for triggering IDoc creation and the FORM routine EDI_PROCESSING.

End of the example.

For Materials Management (Import IDocs)

Customizing materials management (MM) to create IDocs requires the following:

  • Defining access sequences for purchase orders

  • Defining message types for purchase orders

Defining Access Sequences for Purchase Orders

  1. In Customizing for Materials Management , choose Start of the navigation path Purchasing Next navigation step Messages Next navigation step Output Control Next navigation step Access Sequences Next navigation step Define access sequence for purchase order End of the navigation path .

  2. Define the access sequence for purchase orders.

Defining Message Types for Purchase Orders

  1. In Customizing for Materials Management , choose Start of the navigation path Purchasing Next navigation step Messages Next navigation step Output Control Next navigation step Message Types Next navigation step Define message types for purchase order End of the navigation path .

  2. Define the message type ACE1 for the import IDoc.
