Standard ALE-IDOC In 6 STEPS

Standard ALE-IDOC 

This document Explain Standard IDOC configuration for MATERIAL MASTER (MATMAS) between two clients of a system in simple 6 steps.

Source system: SOU 700 (sender system)

Destination System: SOU 005   (target system or receiver system)

STEP 1 :   All the below steps are done in Source system SOU CLIENT 700.

Go to T-code: BD54 and Click on "New Entries" and provide the Logical System for both Source system and Destination system and click on SAVE. Logical system will be created.

STEP 2 : Go to T-code: SCC4 and go to Change mode 

Select the Destination system client (SOU CLIENT 005) and Click Details.

Provide the Logical system created for Destination system and click on SAVE.

Repeat the same for Source system.

Select the Source system client (SOU CLIENT 700) and Click Details.

Provide the Logical system created for source system and click on SAVE.

STEP 3 : 

Important: RFC Destination is case sensitive, Which will usually mislead or cause error, So use UPPER CASE always to be on safer side.

Go to T-code: SM59 and Select RFC connection type "ABAP Connection" Click on Create.

Provide RFC Destination for destination system and provide IP Address of the system.

click on "Logon & Security" TAB.

provide client, logon username and password for system SOU 005 and click on "Save".

provide Client, log-on username and password for system SOU 005 and click on "Save".

Click on Remote Logon to check the system connection and correctness of RFC creation.

Repeat STEP 3 and create RFC for Source system.

Provide RFC Destination for source system and provide IP Address of the system.

click on "Logon & Security" TAB.

provide Client, log-on username and password for system SOU 700 and click on "Save".

STEP 4 : 

Go to T-code: BD64 and go to Change mode and click on "Create Model View" from Technical name in the Pop-up and Click on enter.

Then select the model view created and click On "Add message type".

Provide Sender and Receiver Logical system and message type and click on Enter.

Then click SAVE.

Once you Expand Model view it should look like below screen shot.

Then click on Environment and Select "Generate Partner Profiles".

then click on Execute.

Partner profile and Port will be created automatically, Otherwise which should be created in T-code WE20 and WE21 respectively.

Then Click on Back.

Click on Edit and select Model View and Distribute.

Then select Destination logical system in the pop-up window and click on Enter.

In this step we are distributing the Model view created in source system to destination system.

Partner profile generated can be checked in T-code WE20.

Step 5:   Below steps is to done in Destination system SOU CLIENT 005.

 

Log-in to destination system SOU 005

Go to T-code: BD64

Find the Model view distribute from source system.

Select the Model view and Then click on Environment and Select "Generate Partner Profiles".

Click on Execute on next screen and Partner profile and Port will created automatically in Destination system as done in source system.

Step 6:  Below step is to done in Destination system SOU CLIENT 005.

Go to T-code:  WE20 

Select Source logical system and select the Inbound message type and then click on Details. 

In next screen change PROCESS CODE  from  AFSA to MATM and click on SAVE.

We have completed the ALE-IDOC configuration for Standard IDOC Material master for transferring material from one client to other client of a system.

Now we can test IDOC Configuration done.

Create a Material in source system SOU 700 using T-CODE MM01.

Material 2942  is created in Source SOU 700 SYSTEM.

Log-in to destination system SOU 005 and try to display the material 2942 using T-code MM03.

 

Material 2942 is not created in SOU 005 system.

To transfer material from SOU 700 to SOU 005.

In SOU 700 system go to t-code BD10

Note: BD10 program, In Application Link Enabling, this program is used to distribute material master data to other systems by sending it direct.

Enter the material details and Execute.

One Master Idoc and One communication Idoc will be created.

Go to T-code WE02 to check the status of outbound Idoc.

IDOC No. 555031
Material transfer: 2942
OUTBOUND IDoc Status: 03 (indicates  Idoc is passed to destination system successfully).

To Check transfered material from SOU 700 to SOU 005.

In SOU 005 system go to t-code MM03

 Material 2942 is created in SOU 005.

Go to T-code WE02 to check the status of Inbound Idoc.
Inbound IDoc Status: 53 (indicates  Document created in destination system successfully).

 Cheers !!  Standard IDOC for material master in successfully completed J
