Hi all ,
I have a business scenario where I will receive a flat file from a NON SAP
system ;which I have to convert to a standard IDOC (I will receive PO and
SO) after which I need to post it to the system using the standard methods
may be standard IDOC framework ...this system is an ECC 6.0 system *
Now I have worked on IDOCs but I need some expert direction in the best
way to design this...I suggested the org to use a normal BAPI for posting as
it would be far less time consuming in my opinion,but they are insisting on
using IDOCs,hence I am exploring the best framework to achieve this .
- So if I can put some more details here ..I will receive the files
in folders on application server with the proper file naming conventions
along with date and time.
- I plan to use a Z table in which I can keep all the files which have
been processed .
- we will have a program scheduled every few hours which will pick up all
the non posted files after checking in the z table ,then convert the text
file to IDOC for sales order and PO as applied..
- this inbound file handler program will have some basic validations in
place before putting the data in the IDOC format so that the chances of
errors are limited when creating PO/SO in SAP .
- From here onwards I think I can make use of the standard IDOC framework
so that there is less coding on my part .
- Now here is where I need some advice ,I am finding too many Function
names ...to be used ..if I can get some direction as to how can I leverage
the standard SAP system for achieving this .
- I think I would have to call a FM which will check the partner profiles
to find the processing codes and then will call the standard IDOC_INPUT_*
functions to create a PO/SO in the system..
- *can someone please give me the specific names and process flow to
achieve this and any things to be kept in mind /any challenges FORESEEN in
converting the flat file to IDOC...*
- Also I am bit confused as to *how to create a partner profile for this
scenario as the non SAP system actually is not connected with SAP in any way
*and also there is no EDI subsystem in place
- ,hence *will it be enough if I put in the Sender name , the logical
system name(needs to be created) of the sender ; and in the idoc control
structure *and create a partner profile with this new logical system and
put the ORDERS message type and the standard inbound process code for the
Sales order creation FMs..
Would be really thankful for any suggestions...
