ALE Settings

To ensure that the inbound function module is called using ALE, a number of ALE settings (table entries) need to be made. To do this, choose  Tools  IDoc Interface/ALE  Development .

The figure below provides an overview of the relationships between the settings. Each row represents a field; the row "Error events" represents five fields. Only the relevant fields of each table are listed. The columns represent the following (bold entries represent primary key fields):

• The fields that are read from an inbound IDoc's control record

• The six IDoc fields that determine the process code to be used

• The attributes associated with the process code

• The attributes associated with the inbound function module

• The fields used to check that the function module is registered in ALE
