Applications

No action required.

IDoc interface

Outbound IDocs:
The Release provides information for the EDI-Subsystem. It defines from which SAP Release the EDI subsystem receives data. The field DOCREL is filled in the function module EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_CREATE with the value of the field SY-SAPRL.

Inbound IDocs:
If the field was filled by the EDI subsystem, it is checked against the SAP field SY-SAPRL. If the field is blank, it is filled with the contents of SY-SAPRL.

EDI subsystem

DOCREL is an optional field. It identifies the version level of the IDoc.

Outbound IDocs:
In the outbound processing of IDocs, DOCREL should support the EDI subsystem in determining the version of the IDoc to be processed.

Inbound IDocs:
The EDI subsystem can fill DOCREL. If DOCREL is filled, its contents are checked against the SAP field SY-SAPRL and set to incorrect if the IDocs differ.
