Activities

Inbound Processing

The IDoc interface receives the IDoc and reviews its control record. According to this record and the corresponding partner profile, the IDoc is transferred to the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDCHG in Sales and Distribution. The ALE services are called.

The system processes the IDoc in the background, using the data records in the IDoc to determine the relevant order.

If processing is successful, the system updates the sales order. The IDoc is sent back to the IDoc interface which updates the status records in the IDoc.

Exception Handling

If it cannot determine an order, or if an error occurs in processing, the system determines the relevant agent(s) and sends a workitem to the integrated inbox(es). An agent can pick up the workitem to process the IDoc or simply end processing.

To display an IDoc for order changes, choose Environment ® Display facsimiles in the order. The system displays a dialog box of object links where you can choose Linked IDocs.
