Displaying the General Structure (IDoc Record Types) (SAP Library - IDoc Interface / Electronic Data Interchange (BC-SRV-EDI))

Displaying the General Structure (IDoc Record Types)

From the Initial Node of the IDoc Interface choose Documentation ® IDoc record types and select all three record types.

Choose the record type version.

Release 4.0, for example, has version 3 (long names, customer prefixes: This is evident, for example, in the case of the field SEGNAM in the data record, which contains 30 characters in Release 4.0 and previously contained only 10).

Choose via Goto ® User settings all display attributes for IDoc types. Save your settings and return to the initial screen.

The screen is a tab page from IDoc administration. The IDoc type attributes are not selectable, as you are calling documentation that applies to all IDoc types!

Choose for the tree display. This display option provides the clearest overview.

The entire documentation for the structure of each IDoc, including the data elements which are used (in the following order: control record, data record and status record) is displayed. Note that typical IDocs contain several data records (segments) and status records.
