Request For Quotation IDoc
Mapping 
Purpose
This describes the process followed by R/3 ORDERS Mapping while transforming an:
· Inbound Request for Quotation in R/3 ORDERS IDoc message, into a Complex Data Type for Business Transactions message. The Buyer system sends the inbound message with the message type as REQOTE.
· Outbound Quotation in a CRM IDoc message format, into a R/3 IDoc message. In response to the inbound message, the Vendor System creates an Inquiry. The Vendor System, if required, can send a Quotation with message type QUOTES, to the Buyer system.
Process Flow
Inbound and Outbound Scenarios in Request for Quotation IDoc Mappings
Inbound Message - Request for Quotation
The Application Link Enabling (ALE) layer receives the inbound R/3 ORDERS IDoc message, with message type REQOTE and stores the message in the database. The R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping receives the inbound R/3 IDoc message through the ALE and transforms it into a CRM IDocmessage in two sequential steps. During transformation, the R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping maps the:
1) R/3 ORDERS IDocstructure to the Complex Data Type of the SAP CRM System
2) Complex Data Type to the messaging BDoc (mBDoc)
R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping then passes the mBDoc to the 
CRM Middleware for
validation. The successful processing of an mBDoc triggers the creation of an
Inquiry in the Vendor
System.
Outbound Message - Quotation
A Vendor can send a Quotation in response to an Inquiry.
The CRM Middleware replicates the
Quotation to the external receivers, based on the
recipient’s site types for
further processing.
When the recipient site type is an External Interface for IDocs, the mBDoc is transferred to the External Interface Adapter for mapping to the Complex Data Type structure. The Complex Data Type is in turn mapped to the R/3 ORDERS IDoc of message type QUOTES. The Buyer system receives the transformed Quotation.
R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping transforms the outbound CRM IDoc message into an R/3 IDoc message in sequential steps. During transformation, the R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping maps the:
...
1. mBDoc to the Complex Data Type of the SAP CRM System
2. Complex Data Type to the R/3 ORDERS IDoc message of type QUOTES
R/3 ORDERS IDoc Mapping sends the transformed outbound Quotation to the Buyer system.
