Generating the IDoc definition dile

Before using SAPODA to generate a business object definition for the ALE Module, you must create the IDoc definition file for each IDoc you want to support. SAPODA uses this file as input. Use transaction WE63 in SAP to create the IDoc definition file.

To generate the IDoc definition file:

  1. In SAP, select transaction WE63 by entering /oWE63.
  2. Deselect the Output IDoc record's Output IDoc recordscheck box.
  3. Select the Output IDoc type's Output IDoc types check box.
  4. In the IDoc type IDoc types's field, enter the basic IDoc type or the custom IDoc type.
  5. Select the Output Segment Fields' checkbox.
  6. Click the Execute icon at the top of the screen. The IDoc definition is displayed on the screen.
  7. Save the definition to a local directory.
