WHAT IS IDOC WHERE WE USE..

Answer / srivani

IDOC INTERFACE:Standard SAP format for electronic data
interchange between systems (Intermediate Document).

Different message types (for example, delivery
confirmations or purchase orders) normally represent the
different specific formats, known as IDoc types. Multiple
message types with related content can be assigned to one
IDoc type

Example:

The IDoc type ORDERS01 transfers the logical message types
ORDERS (purchase order) and ORDRSP (order confirmation).

Among other areas, IDocs are used in both Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) and for data distribution in a system
group (ALE).

A definition of formats (IDoc types) and methods (port
definitions) for electronic data exchange between SAP
systems and partner systems.

Partner systems can be any of the following:
A ERP System
An EDI subsystem
Another R/3 system
Another R/2 system
Third-party software
IDOC ADAPTER: IDOC Adapter is used to connect SAP
components (or third-party systems) to an Integration
Server by using IDocs (Intermediate Documents).

IDOC TYPE: An SAP format for transferring the data for a
business transaction.

An IDoc is a concrete message formatted in the IDoc type.
An IDoc type can usually transfer more than one different
type of message: These are the logical messages, which
correspond to different business processes.

Example

The order number 4711 has been sent to a supplier as IDoc
no. 0815. IDoc number 0815 is formatted in the IDoc type
ORDERS 1, and has the status records "created" and "sent".
The purchase order corresponds to the "logical" message
ORDERS

down to segment level.

Example: BAI2 file formats( also called text or flat file)
