Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IDoc in SAP?
An IDoc (Intermediate Document) is SAP's standard data format for electronic data interchange (EDI) between SAP systems and external partners. Each IDoc type has a hierarchical structure of segments, where each segment contains specific business fields.
What is the difference between IDoc type and message type?
The IDoc type (Basic Type) defines the technical structure of segments and fields (e.g., ORDERS05). The message type describes the business meaning (e.g., ORDERS for purchase orders). One message type can be implemented by multiple IDoc types.
How do I monitor IDocs in SAP?
Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display IDocs, BD87 to process failed IDocs, and WE19 to create test IDocs. The IDoc status codes (01–75) indicate whether an IDoc was sent successfully, is waiting, or has errors.
