Documentation

General

This field contains the current status of the IDoc.

These values are provided for monitoring the processing sequence and must accompany the IDoc during the entire translation sequence so that it can be further processed. It is important that both the SAP application and the EDI subsystem supply this field with suitable values.

The status values for outbound IDocs are between '01' and '49' while those for inbound IDocs start at '50'.

Applications

Outbound IDocs:
No action required.

Inbound IDocs:
While the IDocs are being processed, their status is updated explicitly by the EDI_DOCUMENT_STATUS_SET function module.

IDoc interface

When an IDoc is created, its status is set in the EDI_DOCUMENT_CLOSE_CREATE function module. All further status changes take place explicitly via the EDI_DOCUMENT_STATUS_SET function module.

EDI subsystem

Outbound IDocs:
The EDI subsystem writes the status changes to a status file (record type EDI_DS), which is then read by the corresponding SAP program. The status values of the various processing steps are stored in the list of values.

Inbound IDocs:
No action required.
