In this section you create serialization groups and assign message types and the processing order to each group. The assignments must be known to both the sender and the receiver of the serialization group.

Serialization groups are required to distribute interdependent objects together so that they are processed in the correct order.

Example

The message types MATMAS (material master) and CLFMAS (classification) are assigned to a serialization group for dispatching materials and their accompanying classifications. The message type MATMAS is assigned the suffix 1 and the message type CLFMAS the suffix 2, so that the materials are processed first and then the classifications.

Activities

  • Create serialization group:
  • Choose 'New entries' in the view 'Serialization groups'.
    • Enter a serialization group and a description.
    • Save your entries.
  • Assign message types to serialization group:
    • Place the cursor on a serialization group and choose 'Assign message types to serialization group'.
    • Select 'New entries'.
    • Enter the message types used and add a sequence number for each one.
    • Save your entries.

Further notes

The message types in a serialization group are processed in ascending order of the sequence number added. You can also leave spaces between the individual numbers. (For example: 1,2,4,10,20).

If the serialization group is to be dispatched later a setting must be made so that the outbound IDocs are collected and inbound processing is carried out in the background for all message types. This is set under Partner Profiles -> Generate Partner Profiles. You can also make these settings in the SAP Menu for each partner profile and message type (choose ALE -> ALE Administration -> Services -> Runtime Settings -> Partner Profiles).
