Procedure documentationCreating and Submitting an eDocument

 

You can set up your system to create eDocuments automatically when the corresponding source documents have been created in the source application. If, for any reason, the eDocument was not created automatically, you can still create it manually in the Create and Submit eDocument report (EDOC_COCKPIT transaction).

Procedure

  1. Run the Create and Submit eDocument report to display eDocuments according to your selection. The output screen displays an ALV list with the result. The Status column shows you at a glance if the eDocument is on a process status that require you to perform any activity.

    Note Note

    To better meet your business needs, for each eDocument type, you can define in Customizing which process status is assigned to which eDocument status. Refer to the documentation of Activate Source Type Documents for Company Code in Customizing for eDocument under Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step General Application Functions Next navigation step eDocument Next navigation step General Settings End of the navigation path

    End of the note.

  2. Select the document and trigger an action according to its status:

    • No eDocument exists for source document: Click on Start of the navigation path eDocument Next navigation step Create End of the navigation path

    • eDocument exists for source document: Click on Submit.

The subsequent processes performed by the system or by you vary depending on the eDocument solution that you have implemented in your system. For more information, refer to eDocument Solution Variants.
