ALE Settings 

In order to ensure that the inbound functional module is called via ALE, a number of ALE settings (table entries) need to be made. To get to ALE outbound processing settings choose Tools ® Business Framework ® ALE ® Development.

The graphic below gives 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

• Declaring the Function Module’s Attributes
• Registering the Function Module in Inbound Processing
• Creating an Inbound Processing Code
