Basic types for master data are supplied in the standard SAP System. If you want to reduce the basic types, you can select the segments and fields that you want to distribute. To do this you activate the segments and fields that you require and generate a new message type.

Reduction is carried out for logical message types associated with an IDoc type.

Mandatory segments and mandatory fields cannot be deactivated.

Keep in mind that when you send reduced message types to target systems of Release 3.0 or 3.1 (tRFC ports of type 2), the message type has to be converted.

You can find this function in the SAP Menu under ALE -> ALE Development -> IDoc -> IDoc Type Development -> IDoc Types (WE30), then Environment -> Conversion.

Activities

  1. Execute the function
  2. To reduce a basic type, create a new logical message type. To do this, enter a new name.
  3. Enter the reference message type (for example, MATMAS).

    You can use the following message types as reference message types for the various master data objects:

    Reference    Master data objects

    DEBMAS    Customer master

    CREMAS    Vendor master

    GLMAST    G/L account master

    INFREC    Prchasing info record

    LOIBOM    Bill of material

    LOINUM    IDoc for the number of IDocs sent

    LOIPGR   

    LOIPLO    Planned order

    LOIPRO    Production order

    LOIRNH    Hierarchy/network

    LOIROU    Routing

    LOIRSH    Run schedule header

    LOISTD    Requirements/stock list

    LOIWCS    Work center

    MATMAS    Material master

    SHPMNT    Shipment

    WBBDLD    Replenishment list: Article message

    WPDCUR    POS Interface: Download exchange rates

    WPDNAC    POS Interface: Download follow-on items

    WPDSET    POS Interface: Download set allocations

    WPDTAX    POS Interface: Download tax rates

    WPDWGR    POS Interface: Download material group master

  1. Enter a short text for the reduced message type. You can explode this structure.
  2. Activating a segment:
    • Place the cursor on the segments required and select select.
  3. Activating a field:
    • Place the cursor on the active segment and click on 'Select' pushbutton.
    • Place the cursor on the fields required and select Select.
  4. After activating the required fields in all active segments, save the new reduced message type. Make a note of the number of the transport request used.
  5. The reduced message type was created in a system independent of any particular client, but it cannot yet be used. Before the reduced message type can be used, it must be activated for each client in the initial screen of the reduction. This must also be done if new changes are made to a reduced message type.

This is done in the Activate change pointers generally section of this IMG.

Further notes

  • After you create and activate the message type, you must transport it into the other systems using the standard means of transport.
  • You can use the transport request in which you entered the reduction. If this transport request also contains corrections that should not be transported, then you can generate a new transport request in the following point Generate transport request for IDOC type, and have this request contain only the data relevant to the reduced message type. To dispatch the reduced message type you have to create the communications parameters.
  • If you want to delete a reduced message type, you must deactivate it in all clients first.
