 How to get an IDOC as a flat file
SAP
Hi I am begining to use IDOCs to translate them to EDI format, I need to see the IDOC's as a flat file so I can input the IDOC into my translation tool, my question is how can I get the IDOC as a flat file?, is there an export feature in SAP that I can use?, do I need to setup an FTP to get the files?, any suggestion and advice will be appreciated, thanks Alex

In the EDI message type for the logical system you need, you must set the receiver port as file (es: "EDISAP") with the transaction WE20. Bye Lara

Hi ,

In order to create Idocs as a flat file you have to configure the partner profile accordingly. The partner profile is maintained via transaction ‘WE20′. You have to create a profile for a specific partner (ie. previously named Logical System as a receiver) filling in the outbound parameters.
Parameters: – Message type (ie. Idoc type)
– receiver port
– Idoc Basic Type

The receiver port to be used must be a specific file port, previously defined via transaction ‘WE21′.

For more information on parnter profile configuration consult the SAP Online-help or contact me again

Hope I could help
