SAP IDOC (Intermediate Document) is a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data. In other words, an IDOC is like a data file with a specified format which is exchanged between 2 systems which know how to interpret that data. When we execute an outbound ALE or EDI Process, an IDOC is created. In the SAP System, IDOCs are stored in database. Every IDOC has a unique number(within a client).
 
In simple words, IDoc (intermediate document) is a standard data structure used in SAP applications to transfer data to and from SAP system applications and external systems. Using IDocs, companies with SAP ERP systems, for example, can exchange data with external entities like their partners or customers. The transfer between SAP systems is done through SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system, while the transfer from an SAP system to an external system happens through electronic data interchange (EDI). This allows data to be exchanged between the different systems without having to convert data from one format to another.
 
Structue of IDoc:
The IDoc structure consists of 3 parts or records -
1) The administration part (Control Record) - which has the type of idoc, message type, the current status, the sender, receiver etc. This is referred to as the Control record.
2) The application data (Data Record) - Which contains the data. These are called the data records/segments.
3) The Status information (Status Record) - These give you information about the various stages the idoc has passed through.

Certification Back to Top

The SAP IDOC (Intermediate Document) Certification ensures you know planning, production and measurement techniques needed to stand out from the competition. 

IDoc (intermediate document) is a standard data structure used in SAP applications to transfer data to and from SAP system applications and external systems. Using IDocs, companies with SAP ERP systems, for example, can exchange data with external entities like their partners or customers.

The purpose of an IDoc is to transfer data or information from SAP to other systems and vice versa. The transfer from SAP to non-SAP system is done via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) subsystems whereas for transfer between two SAP systems, ALE is used. IDoc can be triggered in the SAP system or in the EDI subsystem.

Uplatz online training guarantees the participants to successfully go through the  SAP IDOC (Intermediate Document) Certification provided by Uplatz. Uplatz provides appropriate teaching and expertise training to equip the participants for implementing the learnt concepts in an organization.

Course Completion Certificate will be awarded by Uplatz upon successful completion of the SAP IDOC (Intermediate Document) online course.

Career & Jobs Back to Top

The SAP IDOC (Intermediate Document) draws an average salary of $105,000 per year depending on their knowledge and hands-on experience.

Basic IDoc type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems. Segments: Segments form the basic building blocks of an IDoc type and are used to store the actual datta. A segment type is the name of a segment and is independent of the SAP elease.

A partner profile is a definition of parameters for the electronic interchange of data with a trading partner using the IDoc interface.To communicate with a partner using the IDoc interface, you must create a partner profile.

Note that salaries are generally higher at large companies rather than small ones. Your salary will also differ based on the market you work in.

Interview Questions Back to Top

Q1. What Is A Partner Profile ?

To be able to communicate with a partner via an IDoc interface, each system needs to maintain a partner profile. A partner profile is a mechanism by which the system can specify what kind of messages (message types) it can send or receive.

Partner profiles can be maintained in WE20.

Q2. What Is An Idoc?

An IDoc (Intermediate document) is a vehicle that is used to transfer data from one system to another.

IDoc is not a technology of some sort , but it is just a container that holds data . 

It holds data in a structured format i.e. in the Fields of the Segments.

Q3. What Is A Message Type ?

you will find that a Message type is always associated with an IDoc type. , a Message type is used just to specify the kind of information that a system can send or receive to or from another system.

Q4. Difference Between Idoc And Idoc Type?

IDOC type specifies Data Structure and IDOC is the instance based on IDOC type.

Q5. What Is The Main Difference Between Ale/idoc And Bapi?

ALE/IDocs are used for asynchronous information interchange.while BAPIs are used for synchronous information interchange

Q6. How Do You Reprocess Error Inbound Idocs ?

Open the IDOC in error in WE02 Transaction.

Expand the status records, and see which segment is in error.

Replace the error value with the correct value and click on the save button.

Now go to transaction BD87, enter the IDOC number and click on execute. It will re-process the IDOC with the modified data and display the success message if there are no errors in the edited data.

Q7. What Is Rfc Destination?

Used to define the characteristics of communication links to a remote system on which a functions needs to be executed.

Q8. Where Is All The Idocs Will Be Stored After Creation?

  • EDIDC stores control/header record.
  • EDIDD/EDID4 stores data records.
  • EDIDS stores status records.

Q9. What Is An Edi ?

EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange.It related to the electronic exchange of business data in a structured format between two systems. The EDI subsystem generally converts the Idoc data into one of the many EDI formats and generates an EDI file in an X12 format. The middleware then translates the X12 file to an IDOC format and the IDOC is sent to the SAP system.

Q10. What Is A Distribution Model In Ale Idocs ?

The distribution model describes how ALE messages flow between different logical systems.

You can mention the sender and receiver logical systems, the message type to be distributed and also distribute data(IDocs) based on certain conditions by using the distribution model.
