Convey idoc status back to business connector.

[guest]

I have developed a package that converts xml to idoc & routes to SAP.
I now need to add another step to the same set of services to trap
the status(51 or 53) of idoc back to BC, so that I can accordingly
send an error Or success message back to trading partner.
I have read the documentation on idoc trace, status update via aleaud
idoc or systat01 idoc. I am not sure which one is most suitable in
my scenario if at all. Moreover, I need to retrieve the staus of idoc
in my current flow of services so that I can send back a message
to my trading partner almost real time. I do not care to log a system
report on these idocs. So any suggestion on how I should go about addressing this situation, would help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

not recommended:
1. SYSTAT01: incoming status for an outgoing IDoc (Stati: 6, 10, 12)

2. ALEAUD: designed for R/3 to R/3 connection, very complex and related to the business object ("my purchase order 4711 was processed to a sales order No. 8020 in the vendor's R/3)

Hi guest,

as auerr already said SYSTAT01 and ALEAUD are (at least for me) not useable. I failed to configure ALEAUD. One guy has a solution for this:

Hi ramesh,
you mean an xml-Document arriving in SAP BC and then IDOC-Conversion?

The principle is like this:
- one xml-Template record (reflecting the incoming structure)
- one IDOC-Template record (get it from http://ifr.sap.com) and load it into SAP BC

Then convert the xml-String into a useful record
- stringToDocument
- documentToRecord

Now do the mapping from your In-Format to your IDOC.
Once the IDOC is beautifully filled with the data (check http://service.sap.com/ale -> EDI-Applications for how to format an inbound IDOC), send it to your SAP (transformHierachyToFlat, OutBoundProcess).

Remember to customize in WE20 and WE21!

Have fun!

Hi,

I want to know if you use Webmethod or not in association with SAP BC.

If yes, where do you develope the mapping : on Webmethos or SAP BC.

If no, how you send the message from the system partener and what services you use to make the mapping.

Thanks a lot,
SSII

Hi ssii,

We use SAP BC46. We deliver to BC via FTP and Email (different flows). Services? Branch, Loop and Map-Steps for mapping of course! And transformers
Did that help?
