Use
IDoc types can be used for more than one message, which means that they can be used for more than one business process. They generally get more segments than needed by the application. To improve performance when you generate the IDoc, you can use views to make sure that only those segments relevant for the business process are filled with data. Therefore, views are only significant for outbound IDocs.
Requirements
You need IDoc developer authorizations (authorization object S_IDOCDEFT, in the role SAP_BC_SRV_EDI_DEVELOPER) to define a view.
Standard settings
Activities
1. Enter a name for the view and choose Create.
2. On the next screen, assign a message type (logical message) and a basic type to the view, and possibly an enhancement as well. This assignment is checked in the partner profiles.
3. Position the cursor on the segment that you want to include in the view and choose Select. The following segments must be included in the view:
a. Qualified segments
b. Mandatory segments
4. Save your entries.
5. Enter the view for the relevant combinations of partner and message in the partner profiles.
