Modification Concepts: IDoc Outbound Processing 

Use

The following modification scenarios are available:

●     You use the standard IDoc but want to influence the construction of the IDoc.

You create a user-defined processing module, which you copy from the standard function module for the respective message type and adjust accordingly.

You activate the user-exit in the standard function module to influence the standard IDoc construction.

●     You use the standard IDoc, but want to specify when and to whom the system should send a warehouse task item. In this case, you do not use the standard flow of the interface.

You realize your own connection for the interface between Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) and the non-SAP system.

●     You use a modified IDoc with user-defined segments and you want to trigger user-defined processing to construct the data in the segments.

In the standard IDoc, you define your own IDoc segments and use the BAdI method to enter data into your own segments.

●     You use a modified IDoc with user-defined segments and want to implement IDoc construction yourself.

You define your own IDoc segments in the standard IDoc and create your own processing function module, which you copy from the standard function module of the relevant message type and adjust accordingly.

●     You use a modified IDoc with user-defined segments and do not want to use the standard flow of the interface.

In the standard IDoc, you define your own IDoc segments and realize your own connection for the interface between EWM and the non-SAP system.

●     You use an individually defined IDoc with a new message type and have to implement IDoc construction yourself.

You define an individual IDoc and create an individually defined function module. Standard auxiliary function modules are available for this purpose.

●     You use a modified IDoc with a new message type and do not want to use the standard flow of the interface.

You define your own IDoc, and realize your own connection for the interface between EWM and the non-SAP system.

Features

Adjusting the Standard Function Module

EWM prepares sending the IDoc to the non-SAP system. The system constructs the IDoc in the relevant application function module, determines the partner (the connected system), and steers towards the ALE layer for further processing.

At this point, you have the first opportunity to intervene in the IDoc processing, by creating a user-defined function module.

You enter this function module in Customizing for Extended Warehouse Management under Interfaces → Non-SAP Systems → Connect Subsystem.

EWM uses the following function modules to construct and send IDocs:

Function modules for outbound IDoc processing

Function module	Name
/SCWM/IDOC_CREATE_WMTOID01	Warehouse tasks
/SCWM/IDOC_CREATE_WMRRID01	Group release
/SCWM/IDOC_CREATE_WMCAID01	Cancellation request WT

In the function modules, you can use BAdI methods to add your own IDoc segments, or to influence the structure of the standard IDoc.

Realizing an individually defined interface connection

You realize your own interface connection to decide for yourself when communication should take place to the non-SAP system, and to which non-SAP system you want to send the data.

In this case, the interface must not be active in EWM.

You use the BAdI method BAdI. WT Confirmation, to realize your own connection between the systems.

Defining User-Defined IDoc Segments

You define your own IDoc segments from the SAP Easy Accessscreen, by choosing Tools → ALE → ALE Development → IDoc → IDoc Type Development → IDoc Types. For more information, see Segment Editor.

Defining User-Defined IDocs

If you define your own IDocs (intermediate structure), you assign this IDoc to a new message type. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools → ALE → ALE Development → IDoc IDoc Type Development → IDoc Types. For more information, see Defining New IDoc Types.

You create a partner profile for this message type.
