IDoc DisplayLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

This report links you directly to a list of individual IDocs or, if you have restricted your selection to one IDoc using the available selection criteria the report displays the relevant IDoc (for example, if you select only one IDoc number as a selection criterion).

Activities

The IDoc display can be accessed under Start of the navigation path SAP Menu Next navigation step Tools Next navigation step IDoc Interface/ALE Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step Monitoring Next navigation step IDoc Display Next navigation step Display End of the navigation path.

Multiple IDocs

If a list of IDocs is displayed, double-click the corresponding entry to access an individual IDoc.

A traffic light indicates whether the current status is a success status or an error status, or whether further processing is necessary, as a decision has still not been made (yellow light). You can change the assignment of traffic lights to the Status Groups in the transaction WELI. See also: Edit Status Groups.

Individual IDocs

General

The individual IDoc is displayed as a tree structure. The initial node is the IDoc number. The control record, data and status records are displayed as subnodes. You can expand nodes and display individual records. A click on data records suffices.

By choosing Displaying Relationships from the Object Services you can display the objects that are already linked with the IDoc, for example, application documents or the corresponding IDoc in the partner system in ALE distribution.

Control Record

The control record displays, for example, the letter header (sender and recipient), direction and IDoc type. You can edit the control record in Exception Handling ( Start of the navigation path Control Record Next navigation step Control/Change End of the navigation path, see also the corresponding paragraph for the data records).

Data Records

In the case of the data records, the segments are displayed with their name (E1 structures for SAP segments), segment number and short text. In the case of qualified segments, the qualifier is displayed (the value which determines the significance of the segment).

Example

In the case of segment E1EDKA1 (document header partner information), the qualifier PARVW = "SH" means that the partner specified in the segment has the function of the goods recipient, while the partner function of the sold-to party is defined as PARVW = "SP". The qualifier is the first field in a qualified segment.

If you want to edit an incorrect IDoc in Exception Handling, choose Start of the navigation path Data Record Next navigation step Display/Change End of the navigation path in the detail screen (double-click for the corresponding data record). You can now change all the fields. When saving, your IDoc assumes the new status 69 (IDoc edited) and you can then send it for inbound processing again. The original is saved as a new IDoc with the status 70 (original of an IDoc, which was edited) in the database.

Status records

In the case of status records, the individual status values ( status) are displayed with a short text. In the case of port type "tRFC" and status 03 the unique transaction ID which is assigned to the tRFC is displayed. If the application writes an error log, the ID of the log is also displayed and can be used to access the log ( Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Application Log End of the navigation path). This allows you to display more detailed error information than the data in the status records.
