“Unlocking EDI Flexibility: A Customizable ABAP Journey in SAP”

Enhancing EDI Processing with Customizable ABAP Code


In the realm of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), flexibility and adaptability are paramount. In this post, we will explore a robust ABAP code for handling EDI files, specifically in the context of SAP systems. The code is designed to be customizable, allowing for seamless integration with various client-specific EDI scenarios.

Customizing the Main Table

To start, we create a main customizing table that serves as the backbone for EDI processing. This table incorporates essential elements for mapping and customization:

“Unlocking EDI Flexibility: A Customizable ABAP Journey in SAP”
IDOC se11 Ztable

  • EDI_IDOC_TYPE: Key identifier for different client-specific requests.
  • EDI_SEGDEF: EDI segment definition.
  • IDOC_LINE: Mapping for a 1025-character long text field.
  • FIELD_DESC: Area for IDOC field descriptions, such as ‘werks’ or ‘lgort.’
  • LENGTH: Mapping of the length of the field in the 1025-character text IDOC.
  • FIXED_VALUE: Indicates if the IDOC segment structure has a fixed value.
  • ABAP_FIELD: Specifies if the IDOC segment structure has an ABAP data element.
  • FIELD: Denotes the area of the IDOC coming from the EDI file.
  • FIELD_LENGTH: Controls EDI mapping based on specific length requirements.
  • DESCRIPTION: Provides a description of the area for better table management.

Here’s an example of the customizing table structure:
