Procedure

  1. Choose transaction VELOM Status Monitor for Vehicle IDoc .

    The selection screen for the status monitor appears.

  2. Choose an organization channel.

    The values displayed via F4 (combination of organizational channel and external status) are values that have been defined in Customizing for VMS under Start of the navigation path Control Data Next navigation step Define External Status End of the navigation path (transaction OVELO5).

  3. Choose a period of time, one or more IDoc statuses and further selection parameters, if required.

    Only the following IDoc statuses are possible:

    • 51: the IDoc has not been posted because as error has occurred (red traffic light)

    • 52: the IDoc has not been posted because changes have been made that must be confirmed (amber traffic light)

    • 53: the IDoc has been posted (green traffic light).

  4. Set the indicator Execute Immediately if you want the action (that has been assigned to the external status of a vehicle) to be performed straightaway. The IDoc status 52 changes to 53. Set this indicator only if you are sure that you want to accept all the changes.

    Deselect the indicator if you want to trigger this process manually by selecting the desired IDocs from the list and choosing Accept .

  5. Choose Execute.

    A screen displaying the selected IDocs appears. You see different data in different colors for each IDoc with status 51 or 52: the pale area displays configuration characteristics, the yellow area the qualifiers and the blue area the vehicle data. Only the new or the changed data is displayed; new and old values are displayed next to one another so that you can compare them.

  6. Select the desired IDocs with status 52 and accept the IDoc data with Accept or reject the data with Reject .

    Note Note

    You can branch to the general IDoc monitor by double clicking on the IDoc number (transaction BD87) - all the IDoc processing functions are then at your disposal.

    End of the note.

Result

If you accept the IDocs, the action that is assigned to the external status of the vehicles is performed, and the vehicles are set to their internal status that is in the appropriate action matrix. Vehicle data and documents are changed appropriately.

Irrespective of whether you have accepted or rejected the changes, the IDoc status changes from 52 to 53.

Note Note

If you are sure that vehicle data in IDocs is to be accepted automatically as soon as the IDoc takes effect, you can define this directly in Customizing for VMS under Start of the navigation path Control Data Next navigation step Define External Status End of the navigation path (transaction OVELO5).
