IDoc Display 

Use

This report generates 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).

In addition to the selection criteria, which are also available in the other statistics programs (message, partner), you can select the following, more technical parameters:

These keys are only relevant for a conversion in EDI standard and refer to objects in the EDI subsystem.

Do not confuse the interchange file (EDI standard) with the file used by the EDI subsystem to communicate with the IDoc Interface (IDoc standard).

An EDI partner sends an IDoc to your system for test purposes. The EDI partner is defined as a test partner in your partner profiles. Your EDI subsystem transfers the IDoc to the inbound processing module of the IDoc Interface, where the IDoc is assigned the number 4711. The test indicator is set in its control record. You can now generate a list of all the IDocs with a test indicator via the IDoc display function, in order to locate IDoc 4711.

In a second test, you wish to determine whether the EDI subsystem has transferred the EDI reference numbers to the R/3 System correctly. You have noted the reference number of the interchange file in which some of the IDocs were transmitted. Enter this number in the corresponding selection field and start the search. All of the IDocs in the R/3 System which were present in the relevant interchange file should be found.

Activities

The IDoc display function can be accessed from the Initial Node of the IDoc Interface by selecting IDoc ® Display IDoc.

Multiple IDocs

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

A traffic light symbolizes 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 color allocation yourself via the transaction WELI. See the Help on the application there.

Individual IDocs

General information

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. You only have to click on data records.

By choosing Display links 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 (Control record ® Control/Change, see also the corresponding paragraph in the data records).

Data records

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

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 Data record ® Display/Change in the detail screen (double-click on symbol 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 (Goto ® Application log). This allows you to display more detailed error information than the data in the status records.
