Description


Today Idocs are used in most sap applications for transfer of message as information from sap system to other systems and vice versa. Though lot of documentation is available on Idocs it is difficult for a functional consultant to understand such documents due to their technical nature. While a functional consultant is not expected to know the Idoc concepts in its entirety, an effort has been made to capture the minimum necessary information that one needs to be aware of in order to handle project or support issues on Idocs.

overview

Idoc is an sap object that carries data of a business transaction from one system to another in the form of electronic message. Idoc is an acronym for Intermediate document. 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 electronic data interchange subsystems whereas for transfer between two sap systems, ale is used.
